A room in the childhood home of William Wordsworth. Nikon D50 + AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens.

A tribute to the attitude of the late Garry Winogrand.

The ubiquitous aluminium flower vase manufactured in vast numbers for the businesses devoted to serving the bereaved. With the decline of burial as a method of disposal, they are probably manufactured in much smaller numbers these days. For almost all my years I have viewed these specialist utilitarian objects with great and ever-growing distaste. Camera: Fujifilm X-E1. Lens: Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 XF R.

Nikon D3s + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. Processed in Lightroom. A Limbo Lockdown Production™. Pressing 'z' seems to improve the impact a bit.

16, TITE STREET, CHELSEA. S.W. My dear Sir Art is useless because its aim is simply to create a mood. It is not meant to instruct, or to influence action in any way. It is superbly sterile, and the note of its pleasure is sterility. If the contemplation of a work of art is followed by activity of any kind, the work is either of a very second-rate order, or the spectator has failed to realise the complete artistic impression. A work of art is useless as a flower is useless. A flower blossoms for its own joy. We gain a moment of joy by looking at it. That is all that is to be said about our relations to flowers. Of course man may sell the flower, and so make it useful to him, but this has nothing to do with the flower. It is not part of its essence. It is accidental. It is a misuse. All this is I fear very obscure. But the subject is a long one. Truly yours, Oscar Wilde

Photographed with a Nikon D700 and a Nikkor O.C 35mm f/2 lens, factory converted to AI capability. I find I need to make repeated visits to places I like before I make any worthwhile photographs which reveal something of the character of the subject. I have returned to using the 35mm focal length on full frame because it seems to be a good way of setting things in context. 1/125th at f/2.8 with ISO at 1600.
