Balancing stone, Cape Cornwall.

This photo is a little ode to Edward Weston. I read a small book on him this week and it made me cry when it said he took his last picture entitled 'rocks and pebbles' in 1948. He took beautiful photos that I feel spoke a lot about his freedom when travelling or with friends. Peace and respect.

mushroom season

Mushrooms, Nats garden, Hereford.

It is time for mushrooms as autumn is upon us. I dont know enough about them but I did take a deathcap home to my mum once to see if we could eat them and she thought I had contaminated her whole kitchen including freshly made stew! sorry mah! Richard will know what it is i'm sure, and will leave a comment. Peace to ya all and find some mushroom man.

Me (Jacob Bodilly)

Unlike the parasite

Want to be famous, plant a tree
Do something at least
Think before you speak
A blade of grass is as righteous as you, the Muslim the Christian the Buddha the Jew
What is the point in death for death, just a sorry situation?
We are dust, be at one with stone for it outlives and endures for infinity
Unlike the parasite

Longton, Stoke -on-Trent, England, 3rd october 2009

I think Stoke is one of the most interesting places I have visited to photograph but I never have more than about two hours to do any. I was so lucky on saturday as the sun was going down It showered the crumbling delapidations splendidly. I hope to return to do a more in depth project later this year, I bet I don't get anywhere as good light though, also London and Pari are on my hitlist. I will call my works 'delapidayashan acrass de neayshan fareal'.

Tiverton dereliction part. 1

Tiverton hospital (derelict), 30/09/09

On returning to my home town last week I noticed it was even rougher than ever before.

Many of the shops and buildings are empty or derelict and I documented a few for the blog. I won't put them up that quickly as no one actually reads my blog. I am noticing a ot of dereliction and degredation across the nation at the moment and my visits to Stoke-on-Trent this week paints a colourfully grim picture of Britian's urban demise.

Fact; I had my head stitched up twice at this Hospital.

Beware

Street scene, royal square, St.Ives

Beware, Photograph can never really satisfy and is usually useless!
