It was a street photographer's gift, and was posted as a light-hearted image. Nonetheless, an older gentleman whom I've known for years, prickly at the best of times, couldn't resist leaving bigoted comments about immigrants, and how things were different (I.e. better) when he was young. (2 of 2)

This popped up in my Facebook Memories from 2013. I called "North Wales Police - The Musical". I was photographing the Police Station in Lancaster Square, Conwy, when these two officers walked into shot. Noticing me, one gave me jazz hands. Too good an opportunity to miss. (1 of 2)

Colour image of the entrance to the Victorian Police station in Lancaster Square, Conwy, with six steps leading to the front door, and sash windows on either side. There's a tree on the left of the frame, with two Police officers, one male & one female,in yellow hi-vis jackets walking into shot. They are smiling, and the female office is giving me "jazz hands".

At least I know, now. Thank you for your honesty.

And enthusiastically, with bad intentions. Evil things. (I don't mind the fruit, though. Does that make me a hypocrite?)

I have to fight a constant battle with brambles from next door's garden. Bloody things. Hate 'em.

It boils down to finding it increasingly difficult, for me, to find an approach that reflects any kind of originality, or even freshness. It feels as though, whatever I do, it's been done a million times before, and better. Also, the kind of travel photography I'd like to do, I simply can't afford.

Arles is a beautiful town - was there last year.

I'll be posting some more (colour) images next week that show a slightly less modern shiny aspect of the town.

Thanks, Rob. I've never heard Rhyl being called futuristic before, but a lot of effort and investment has been put into regenerating the town. There's still some work to do, though!

Rhyl, Denbighshire (Mono #2) September 2024 #photography#fotografie#fotografia

A monochrome image of the anchorings of two metal suspension bridge supports rising from below the bridge footpath, which is divided allowing the supports to be visible.
A close-up monochrome image showing two metal supports attached to a bridge, suspending the walkway.
A monochrome image with a flight of six concrete steps, with bright sunshine casting a shadow of railings, out of shot by the steps, but visible in the background at the top of the steps, in a zig-zag pattern on the steps.
A monochrome image of a buoy in the background, enclosed by a low wall, with a row of hooped bicycle tethering posts, shown in a diagonal line, so that they overlap in a graphic shape.
