I like it, reminds me of a Flash animation style (it's the vector look against the photographic background :)).

I'm confused. You got a text notification that a man had just killed himself, so you went to take a photograph of the 'crime scene'? Erm... why?? :confused:
It's called photojournalism?

The texts are through a service for EMTs/police/fire personnel (and media services); it alerts off duty cops/emergency officials of any calls in a preset area.

Aside from the fact that I live about a minute away from here and was even closer at the time... I felt it was worthy of documentation. Apologies if I've offended you.

Here's mine for today:

No you haven't offended me... but do you really think a picture of a piece of tape is photojournalism?

You call it a 'crime scene'. I'm fascinated; what particular crime had the dead man committed?

"duty cops/emergency officials"... Which one are you?

Went to the opening of the Apple store this morning in Westfield at Whitecity, London. And La Senza was doing this promotion, which I whole heartedly feel that we should start an online petition for Steve do the same at Apple store openings :p

Suicide jump crime scene, about an hour ago, Boston, MA:

picture1ls9.jpg


The body was just around that bend at the back of the ally; it opens up into a small courtyard type area.

Got the text notification and happen to be heading that way (I live just a few blocks from here). I only had my D50 and a 50 prime with me... Plus, it had just happened, so people were confused and rushing everyone away. Apparently, he was a drug user and something set him off... :(

Yeah, we were working on one of our shows at Boston University Theatre when we went to dinner and when we got out there were a lot of cops and fire engine. The building next door to the theatre is a half-way house.

Happy Halloween!

Carved it myself tonight, and used the innards to make a big pot of pumpkin & tomato soup ;)

It's a crime scene because it was uncertain whether or not the fellow jumped, fell or was pushed… at least thats what Boston University police says, they're involved due to the fact that he came in contact with university property on is way down to earth (ie he hit one of our fire escapes).

Lovely downtown Skopje

I was not at all inclined to wait around for perfect light at this location, but I thought this scene was interesting regardless. What I saw of Skopje was more of the same on every corner.

Sauna hut in the woods...

This is on my neighbor's property, and the little sauna hut sits directly over a small stream...

Went hiking through the woods that beautiful day, with the dogs. They love photography. I pause, and meander, and they run around and forage.

Many years ago, I was visiting Tokyo for a short 3 day weekend.

i was walking around Hiro-o station area, and the kids were coming home from school. These 4 friends were walking by so I asked to take their picture. To me, their expressions are priceless. The bent/torn corrugated metal in the background is cool as well when you consider this was in one of the most expensive places in Tokyo.

This picture was taken with a Canon A-1, 100 ASA film. I forget the lens.
Note, on the original, you can clearly see their eyes. My scanner is old. When I get a new one I'll rescan this pic.
