More from David Bailey

Some time ago I said I would revisit the words of the great British fashion photographer David Bailey and true to my word I saw this....

"The first half of the 20th century belongs to Picasso and the second half is about photography. They said digital would kill photography because everyone can do it but they said that about the box brownie in 1885 when it came out. It makes photography interesting because everyone thinks they can take a picture."

WOW..................... not sure how I feel about my pix now as I'm a digital snapper!!..........whats your thoughts on the digital world?

Enjoy the moment ....

Now this one is really poignant, as I've done it so many times but not thought about enjoying the moment for what it really is....

"There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is! " ~DeGriff

Enjoy the moment eh

"Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film." ~Author Unknown

A Passing Thought for the Day

Being a little philosophical in these gloomy days of the economic down turn I saw this and thought it might bring a smile 

“A person is neither whole nor healthy without the memories of photo albums. They are the storybook of our lives. They provide a nostalgic escape from the tormented days of the present.”

Get the photo album out and dive in to the memories or better still get out with the camera and take a few more memories for the future

Have a great day .............

Maui Update - Whoo Hoo

Wow, just returned from the Hawaiian Island of Maui and spent an early morning (yes, left at 1.30am) photographing the fantastic sunrise at the top of the Heleakela Crater at 10023ft above sea level.

Early Hawaiians applied the name Haleakalā ("house of the sun") to the summit area only, most likely because from the west side of the island, the sun could be seen rising up over the eastern side of the mountain. In Hawaiian folklore, the depression at the summit of Haleakalā was home to the grandmother of the demigod Māui. According to the legend, Maui's grandmother helped him capture the sun and force it to slow its journey across the sky in order to lengthen the day. In modern times, Haleakalā has become synonymous with the entire East Maui volcano.

As I said we had to leave really early at 1.30am to make the 2 and a half hour drive up the crater to see the sunrise at 5.42am. The drive was a little precarious in the dark as the roads were a little narrow and the drop a long way if you drove too near the edge...............but well worth the long and slow drive to the top.

Anyway more panoramas will be uploaded to the web site soon
