Tucked up for the Night
I very rarely place more than one picture in my daily postings. For one thing there isn’t time and for another, all of my photos are edited, and that is time consuming. Some of my blogging friends manage to post sets of high quality images and they can be very impressive and these often provide a sweeping impression of distant places.
More and more I find blogs now that are swimming with images, often with little explanation or sequencing. These I find very confusing. I really don’t like being bombarded in this way and often just don’t know where to start looking. I tend to give up and try not to visit again. While I’m having a moan, my pet hate is loads of pictures of identical looking flowers where just one good one would have been enough (but only just).
What did you say? Bus shelters?
No, no, they’re not boring! They’re a fascinating challenge for those with an artistic bent.
Bent! How dare you…….
Well-titled, John…and what? No bus shelter nearby? 🙂 I am very fond of that series, by the way….
Yup, bus shelter about 30 yards away……and photos going into an exhibition in May. Just trying to explore a different photographic style or three.
All the best my friend.
I wish you good luck/fortune with the exhibition…will stay tuned for news of how it goes.
Thanks Scott. Have just made an initial selection of 127. Reducing that to about 70 is going to be tough.
You’re welcome, my friend…and that must be such a task, choosing the best from among so many. Will this be a solo exhibition, or will there be other photographers/artists showing with you?
My first solo. In the past have done two man shows, especially with my wife who’s a very fine painter.
Good for you…and congrats on the first solo….. I hope you’ll keep us updated and maybe give us a taste of what you’ll be showing.
I don’t know why, but somehow this sums up my mental picture of a scottish harbor pretty well 🙂
Yup, cold, very dark, and smelling of fish…..
Thanks. 🙂
I really like this photo John and agree with streetpixels comment above!
I can imagine the crew wearing big wooly polo necks and heavy pea coats!
Thanks Peter, I took some more photos of them working on one of the boats and may dig them out. The harbour area is usually cluttered with bits of gear under repair and there’s always something of interest to see.
Oh John…surely when a man is tired of bus shelters, he is tired of life 😉

Then we’re both in the same boat then….totally tiresome.
I love your sequence……a very animated location……whereas here very little moves for hours and hours.
You make your world, and ours, move with your photos John!
So the earth moved for you………he he……….bingo!
Thanks Andy. 🙂
