Bangkok by Tuk Tuk
Whilst on a technical level, this photograph is a bit of mess (P&S camera with some sort of flash in an enclosed space) it still manages, for me atleast, to capture the sense of speed and urgency that you would find apparent on any tuk tuk drive in Bangkok. Only with a tuk tuk are corners meant to be cut, lights meant to be ran and tourists meant to be scared.
Street Light Photography, Xi’an
Not sure how this look on the average desktop monitor, I imagine the details might get lost in the darkness due to my reliance on some fluorescent lamps for lighting. Taken in Xi’an China, with my travelling friend Ricky undertaking deliberation duties. The white background of the site does absolutely nothing for the photograph admittedly, one must enlarge!
Over the Hills and Far Away, Scotland
Due to sunshine being somewhat intermittent over the west of Scotland, it is decreed that when it arrives, it is duly welcomed with open arms by all; and last week – with arms open – I was able to go up through the fields armed with my camera. Not exactly the Led Zeppelin journey I allude to in my title.
It is somewhat refreshing to find yourself in complete isolation from the background noises we so typically find ourselves encompassed by. No cars, no computers and no people. In Scotland at least, if you want to get away from it, the fields are your answer!
Naturally over time, these fields fall into a state of desuetude, and its with this they gain a somewhat unique charm, serving as a sort of timestamp for many years before. These poles above, long since serving any actual purpose, can stand to represent something completely different than originally set out.
