strip(ped)

let me hear you
make decisions
without your television
let me hear you speaking
just for me

stripped – depeche mode


come ride with me
come ride with me
give me all you have
give me all you have
drought warning in place
drought warning in place
the mysterious turtle
the mysterious turtle
render unto caesar
render unto caesar
venetian blind
venetian blind

And the sign says “Long-haired freaky people need not apply”

Blending the right ingredients

I am not anonymous.

What you see here is the real deal. Me. For better, or for worse.

I chose a long time ago to write here under my own name. I respect the rights of those who choose to write under a pseudonym. It’s a time honoured writing device.

Here on WordPress, in this vibrant and supportive community, I’ve learned a lot about writing, social interaction, what works and what doesn’t. For the most part it’s been a great experience.

This week I’m mixing two worlds, my world of writing, poetry and photography, and my working world.

half-light

the time to hesitate is through, no time to wallow in the mire
– lyrics from light my fire, the doors
2016_03_25_11356

I shot this image last night whilst shooting one of the many Semana Santa processions in the city of Salamanca – more on that soon at salamancastreets.com.

In this case, the night was dark, but the city was lit by many candles, streetlights and the smiling faces of the women, men and children who packed the streets until the early hours of the morning.

The Doors’ Light my fire, and in particular the instrumental version to which I have linked, seems also to capture some of the same spirit. For me, anyway.

This shot was a lucky capture, the Plaza Mayor captured in half-light.
