slide-show, Race for life

There are so many ways to use the same pictures, perhaps this is better,
it was such a wonderful event for me to be there, look, speak, take pictures

Race for life

Race for life in London

Race in Blackheath, for Cancer Research: some run, others jogged, some walked or were ported. 11.000 girls and women of all ages. And such a wonderful mood! But also sad, lots had on their back "in memory of dad, or grand dad, or aunt, or mother..." and they did run to remember or, some times to speak of the courage of those who fight it still.

30 years ago, some people I knew were also collecting for Cancer research, although I did not like what they did with the money they collected and the power that gave them over some of us. Thirty years, had the research progressed in all that time, or is it still in its infancy?

But yesterday morning, what enthusiasm and courage from all! Even the old lady whose husband dies a few month ago of cancer! She came with her daughter and grand daughter who did race for "dad and grand dad".

Bus 54 end Etham Green

There are all kind of neighborhoods and houses, in London, I was in awe to see so many on the way to Lewisham townhouse in Etham Green or just before it.

Just realized, the 54 takes from the Greenwhich townhouse in Whoolich, were I was a few month ago to that of the borough of Lewisham.

I also just realized, that my houses, at least in this image, are indeed parallel and the windows rectangular and not pyramidal, but, but it looks as I, or the houses, were drank, inclined a bit.

I'll try to correct that, also the image will lose some of its sharpness.

So, ok, we all have to learn: "think, listen, try out" Trial and error. Then, next time we'll do a bit better. I hope!

Taking a bus not knowing where will lead you was exciting, I'll try it others time too.

At Mac Hairdresser

I love to make whatever was given to me - this time learn to make better buildings, but finally what I really enjoy are people!

So, I was happy to find some really nice people, sitting out their work place and drink outside, where it was more air.

They let me take their photo, and we did chat for a while.

It was only then that I felt "ok, now I can go home".

Here they are.



But I also liked a lot, strolling through the Heath in the morning and what I can obtain (a very selective blur and net) with my new Canon, who did not seem to heavy to me at all.


I did not really enjoy the rain, but today is a really hot day! At least inside.

Why we like or prefer...

This month in the Afterclass, photo masterclass in Flickr, the main theme will be "Perspective".

But is it enough?

These houses on the river Seine in Paris in one of my old photos, I like a lot, and yet, they did not make anyone like them or not much.

Then, I took another picture taken at the same time, but which was less clear from the beginning and deformed it, telling sincerely like I did feel that day
"I feel today as deformed as those houses" its title "Spleen".

Lots of people liked it!

Strange how we do react to what we see, and what we read, what we listen, what and how we perceive them.

Finally, perhaps we do look more with our emotions then our brain.
