The intent of this blog is to showcase my better pictures. That's it, that's my only agenda.
Comments are always welcome. The more I know about my audiences tastes, the better chance I have of showing "good" pictures. Please leave a name, you know how frustrating all these anonymous users are, just want a way to tell you apart.
If anyone see's an image they want to use, go ahead. If you want to use it for commercial purposes I will gladly accept payment.
Some picture locations are discussed on my personal blog, but I am not always going to link images to the posts there.
Your humble photographer, Alex O'Donnell

Very atmospheric. I loved the colors from just seeing the small thumbnail on my Dashboard.
This seems to be LITERALLY a photo of the Twilight(!) Zone. Because the reflection seems... different somehow. As if taken at another hour of the day, and in another year. ;-)
Hey, this blog doesn't ask for Captchas! Is it because I'm a registered follower?
Quite likely: being so means I'm officially identified already. :-)
"the reflection seems... different somehow."
It's all a mere effect of your imagination, darling.
Now, how about you stay for dinner, my little one?
In Other Lebanon, we have uninterrupted electricity and broadband internet. And no day-round political talk-shows on TV!
The garbage-free roadsides smell of lavender, and every citizen has read at least one book in their life.
A non-religious book, that is.
Thanks for the offer, COM, but I'm afraid that all sounds too *perfect* to be true.
I always saw the disjoint between the sky an it's reflection.
I don't know why I went on the bridge that day, it was a bridge to nowhere really, into the back of the shot mill. Actually I do know why I went on the bridge. I was at large on a stroll with my granddads old Halina. When he passed on the camera somehow came to me.
The Steam Mill was still an abandoned warehouse in those days. It was a typical mid winter afternoon, and the sky was cloudy and grey, muddied, yes, but not the way it seems in the reflection. The water was calm and murky, the way canals often are. I knew reflections were good for photos, and symmetry was also good. There was something when I looked through the viewfinder that pulled my eyes lower, below the surface of the canal was a more textured sky than above. The colour had shifted, and the polarizing and tinting effect of the effluvial flow did wonders.
If you look here you will see what was behind me at that moment.
The picture here also made it into discussion on my other blog here.
This photo is a favourite example of my raw enthusiasm as an amateur photographer, aged 18 or 19, only ever shot two rolls on a friends SLR, and personally was still shooting 126 films. It obeys two of my rules of photography. "Get Lucky" and "Have a camera with you".
Okay for the sky/lighting. But how can you justify, on the left side, the reflection of rather tall buildings that I practically cannot see above water? That's just plain weird, man.
Even with polarizing filters an' stuff.
Hey, you sure your camera doesn't smoke weed? Or sniff acid?
Maybe it was during the film's developing stage. They put all kinds of weird shit in their chemical solutions these days.
Ah. Upside-down. This explains a lot about the surrealistic-feeling perspective!
Not to mention the reflection seeming to be brighter than the real world. (Coralinesque, indeed!)
You sneaky photographer...
What's next, cyber-protozoas? ;-)
It also reminds me of what happens when you cross mirrors in Silent Hill...
The rust. The rust. Make it go away!
No! No filters used. It was a natural light photo.
The effluvial flow is not a filter, but the murk of the water.
Ah. OK.
Of course you know that a reflecting water surface is also a partial natural filter.
But nobody could accuse you of "cheating" for using these. :-)
So... no photoshopping some imperfections then, I guess? ;-)
You know, like this young river having an unfortunate zit on shooting day, or asymmetrical banks that "don't look good enough for a magazine", or its real bed being too wide for fashion standards...
I inclination not acquiesce in on it. I think nice post. Particularly the title attracted me to read the unscathed story.
Good brief and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you seeking your information.
