One of the advantages of spending time in New York City is the ability to try different cuisines from all over the world without having to go very far (although you might spend more time than usual riding the subway). Here is a list of five less common cuisines that can be enjoyed without packing your bags.
Located on the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen lies at the junction of the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Only 20 miles of water separates Yemen from the Horn of Africa, the point where the Red Sea opens up into the Indian Ocean.
In the past, many Yemeni people lived as travelers and nomads, using ancient trade routes to transport spices, incense, and oils to and from the Far East and India. Yemeni fishermen were frequent visitors along the coast of Africa, and returned home inspired by the robust spices of East Africa. Turkish and Middle Eastern dishes were introduced during the reign of the Ottoman Empire, and over the centuries, these Indian, African, and Turkish influences found their way into Yemeni cuisine to create this rich culinary tradition.

Yemeni dishes often include beef, lamb, or chicken, but in coastal regions, fish is the primary protein. Bread is used in the place of utensils, and meals are eaten communally, with each person dipping their bread in the same pot. Yemeni food can be very spicy, and chilies are used liberally. Fresh herbs and lemon may accompany a dish, and fenugreek is common, either as whole leaves or as a froth topping known as holba.
A lamb broth soup called maraq is often served at the beginning of a meal, and although the pea-green color may not immediately entice, the soup is unexpectedly delicious. The national dish of Yemen is salta, whose exact preparation varies from place to place. Served in a steaming hot clay pot, salta is made with a slow-roasted lamb broth base and a combination of ingredients such as tomato, eggs, potato, or lamb. The salta is served topped with holba and plenty of fresh bread.
The love of chilies is most apparent in sahawiq, a salsa that is served alongside most meals, made using a combination of chilies, tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs. The influence of Indian cuisine is most noticeable in Zorbian chicken, which is similar in preparation to an Indian biryani, where meat is combined with basmati rice and saffron. One of the most well-known Yemeni treats is bint al-sahn, a rich, flaky bread made with honey, black sesame, and a generous amount of butter. Bint al-sahn can be eaten for breakfast, dessert, or is sometimes served at the beginning of a meal.
Where to Get It: Yemen Café in Brooklyn serves some of the city's finest Yemeni cuisine. Be sure to self-serve the sweet, spicy black tea.
Himalayan cuisine refers to the entire Himalayan mountain region, which includes Nepal, Tibet, and parts of India and China. Living among the highest mountains in the world can present some logistical difficulties when it comes to sourcing food. A frigid climate and rocky soil limits the production of many crops, and in higher-altitude regions, rice and corn are not available. This location is a hindrance to imports and, combined with the fact that Nepal's borders were opened only in the 1950s, has resulted in a cuisine that focuses primarily on locally sourced ingredients.
Himalayan food consists mostly of lean meats, root vegetables, pickled vegetables, and salads, giving it a healthier tone than similar cuisines that may use more fat or frying in cooking. It is less spicy overall than Indian food, but a wide array of condiments made of raw chilies and garlic are usually provided to turn up the heat.
Common ingredients include lentils, potatoes, tomatoes, cumin, coriander, chilies, peppers, garlic, and mustard oil. Potatoes, millet, buckwheat, and barley are tolerant to the cold and thus thrive in the higher elevations. Nepal boasts more agricultural production than other parts of the region, which is why Nepalese dishes often include rice as a staple.
Many Himalayan and Nepalese dishes are a unique combination of Chinese and Indian influences. Nepal in particular is home to over 100 different ethnic groups, each with their own culinary traditions. The most popular Himalayan food is momos. Inspired by the Chinese and brought to Nepal by Tibetan refugees, momos are small dumplings filled with meat, potatoes, or vegetables and are cooked by either steaming or sautéing.
One of the most comforting Himalayan meals is a hot noodle soup is called thukpa. Grains are ground into long noodles called thukpa or tsampa and are usually served in a broth with a combination of meat and vegetables. Dal bhat could be considered the national dish of Nepal. Based on a staple of Indian cuisine, dal bhat is made with lentils and rice (or a more available grain) and cooked to the consistency of porridge. The variations lie is in the dishes that are served on the side, which range from curry, meat, yogurt, pickles, or chutney.
Successfully combining the influences of China and India, pulao is a popular dish that consists of Chinese-style fried rice with vegetables that has been seasoned with turmeric and cumin, spices more commonly used in India. Yak is a staple of the Himalayan diet and is frequently found in a bowl of thukpa or a batch of momos. Hardy enough to survive the harsh climate, yak is widely used for its milk and meat.
Where to Get It: Café Himalaya in the East Village or one of the many Himalayan restaurants in Jackson Heights, Queens.
The mountainous and fertile country of Georgia is nestled at a crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures. Its location along the Silk Road enabled Georgia to pick and choose their favorite influences from the Greek, Turkish, Persian, and Mongolian travelers who crisscrossed their country.
Thriving agriculture means that Georgian food includes a lot of vegetables, greens, and meats. From soups and stews in the winter to tomato salads in the summer, beets, cabbage, string beans, eggplant, and tomato are cooked in every way imaginable, accompanied by flavorful herbs like parsley, tarragon, dill, or basil.
Walnuts are a mainstay of Georgian cooking, not only for desserts but also as a thickener for soups and sauces. Dishes can be served with a variety of sauces; some can be tart or sweet, and are often made with berries, pomegranates, and tomatoes. Georgia also has a rich culture of wine production and no Georgian meal would be complete without a bottle (or two).
Georgian dishes are plentiful, but there are a few that should be not be overlooked. Khachapuri is a warm, gooey cheese bread that makes a comfortable and delicious base for a variety of toppings, such as egg, mushrooms, or scallions. Pkhali is a vegetable paste made from eggplant, spinach, leek, ground walnuts, fresh herbs, and spices, and tastes great with a khachapuri.
Khinkali are dumplings that, when expertly twisted, have too many folds to count. Similar to a Chinese soup dumpling, khinkali are stuffed with spiced meat and served boiled or steamed. Soup dumplings are notoriously difficult to eat, but the Georgians thought to make it a bit easier. A knot at the top serves as the handle, and once firmly gripped, the dumpling should be turned upside down and sprinkled with black pepper. Taking small bites on the side while slurping the broth will ensure not a drop is wasted.

Filipino cuisine is a mystery to many, and it is easy to see why. Colonialism has played a huge role in the history, culture, and most of all, the cuisine of the Philippines. The Spanish occupied the islands for more than 300 years and contributed garlic, onions, tomatoes, sweet peppers, meat and rice dishes, and decadent desserts. Later, immigrants from China brought noodle dishes, bean curds, egg rolls, and soy sauce. In the 20th century, Americans added canned and processed foods to the Filipino pantry, bringing mayonnaise, hot dogs, hamburgers, apple pies, evaporated milk, cheese, and canned tomato sauce. Nearby Malaysia managed to throw chilies and coconut milk into the mix while India slipped in a few curries, all of which culminated in the creation of one of the most far-flung fusions of cuisine in the world.
Despite those colonial times, the people of the Philippines were able to preserve some of their own traditions. Vinegar had always played the role of preservative for this balmy island nation, providing the sour taste that continues to be prevalent in many dishes. Fish sauce and fermented shrimp paste also survived to add umami to many dishes.
Spread across more than 7,000 islands, many different ethnic groups comprise the Philippines, each speaking their own dialect and cooking food in their own particular way, resulting in even more culinary variety. Filipino dishes range from simple to elaborate, but each reflects their own unique union of influences.
Many Filipino meals begin with lumpia, fried spring rolls filled with pork, mushrooms, carrots, and jicama, and dipped in sweet-sour pineapple sauce. Oxtail kare kare is braised in peanut sauce and served with vegetables and bagoong, a fermented shrimp paste. Sisig is classic Filipino street food, and due to the thoroughly chopped texture, it is hard to tell the ingredients are a combination of pig cheeks, ears, and snout flavored with lime and chilies. Pancit bihon are rice noodles served with chicken or pork, and pickled papaya accompanies deep-fried pork belly for a welcome balance of flavors.
Where to Get It: Purple Yam in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, serves Filipino specialties and creative cocktails in a casual neighborhood setting.
Uzbekistan may not be the most recognizable former Soviet republic, but it undoubtedly has some of the best food. Landlocked within Central Asia, Uzbekistan was another Silk Road stopover that after centuries of trade and exposure to outsiders was able to create its own culinary traditions with the influences people liked best. A predominantly Muslim country, Uzbekistan bridges the Middle East and Far East with a little sprinkle of Russia on top.
Uzbekistan's next-door neighbors were predominantly nomadic societies, whereas the Uzbekis lead a more settled existence. Agriculture and cattle farming laid the groundwork for their varied cuisine. Many Uzbek recipes have endured for centuries, and traditional cooking techniques and styles have been preserved over generations.
Uzbekistan's warm climate produces abundant harvests of grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, melons, grapes, berries, and nuts. The flavors are bold, and commonly include herbs and spices such as coriander, black cumin, dill, barberries, sesame, and basil. Many dishes are heavy on the meat, especially beef or mutton, and there is an emphasis on sour milk dishes and rich pastries.
Plov, a rice pilaf dish made with rice and meat, is regarded as Uzbekistan's signature dish. Similar to Chinese-style fried rice, the use of carrots and green onions in a plov is one of the ways Uzbek food sets itself apart from its Russian and Middle Eastern counterparts.
Another favorite is manti, a steamed beef dumpling that is also influenced by Chinese cuisine. Lamb kebabs, hummus, and babaganoush reflect distinct Middle Eastern tastes. A cucumber-radish sour yogurt salad is mixed with plenty of dill, reminiscent of Russian flavors. Lagman is lamb and vegetable noodle soup inspired by East Asia, and no Uzbek meal is complete without samsa, savory tandoor-baked pastries.
Where to Get It: The most celebrated Uzbek restaurant in the city is Nargis Café, located in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.

Her work is always aiming to convey a vision of the body and the garment.
Her look is set in between the power and the accuracy of her shots that appear
technical and sexual at the same time.
The main idea of this work was to convey a sense of derangement

Laying the clothes on the body overlapping them as a second
skin or shifting their common place on the body itself is questionning
this simple process covering.

This kind of incidents makes us think it is a good thing we have these cameras. And if we think the cameras are a good idea, of course releasing the pictures of the suspects will make chatching them faster. Or, will it? Now that we all know suspects, they know that we are looking for them too. And, releasing the photos publicly isn't like sending photos to police stations. People living in this city see it, and they feel threatened by the people that fits the suspects' profile. Gender, age, ethnicity. If they are proven to be innocent, the image in people's mind isn't erased. They and the groups they belong to are guilty forever. Or the other way, they are the victim and the others are enemies.

City College Norwich shared their experiences, and images, of GCSE maths and English resits in February 2015, a stark reminder of the logistical challenge faced by many organisations in the education and training sector. The image below shows the scene at the Norfolk Showground on 10 February 2015, as they prepared for what may have been "the largest single GCSE exam sitting in Norfolk history" (Eastern Daily Press, 2015).
Jerry White, Deputy Principal at City College Norwich, anticipates his college will spend £50,000 on the logistics of GCSE maths and English in 2015. They hired the Norfolk Showground main hall because the college could not accommodate the 1,100 English and 900 maths mock exam students. They will do the same again for the main exams. All exams have to be sat at the same time on the same day unless the provider can isolate students which would be impossible. The college hired buses from college to take learners to the Showground, some starting at 6am. They arranged free catering for the learners and staff. They hired security staff to keep order and specially trained staff to become invigilators. They also bought calculators, protractors, tracing paper and all the other necessary equipment. Furthermore, all the exam papers will have to be posted for marking and kept securely.
This is typical of what is being faced by large FE colleges and that is without accommodating the 200 students who have special arrangements for exams – readers, scribes, extra time, etc. This job alone has fully occupied three members of staff for the entire year and they have still not yet completed all the necessary arrangements.
The enormity of this challenge is immense and will be typical for a lot of colleges. City College Norwich have some students who have sat the GCSE ten times before, because many schools in Norfolk entered them at every window with every exam board in year 10 and then in year 11 in the hope they would eventually pass! City College Norwich expect rising learner numbers to include a huge cohort of demotivated young people. The challenge is indeed great!

Henna in Marrakech
In Marrakech, Djemaa el-Fna market is filled with performers and henna artists. I got my two hands done for about 80 Moroccan Dirhams, which is about 10 dollars. The woman let me choose from a book of designs. It took about ten minutes and the henna lasted for a week.
The whole transaction was simple even without any knowledge of French or Arabic.
The hardest part was convincing my students back home that the designs weren't permanent tattoos.

At our first house we had a big tree that interestingly enough, half would produce Apples and half would produce Pears . it use to yield so many that most of them would fall to the ground and rot.
The bees use to love them, as the pears rotted would turn to alcohol and the bees would get drunk buzz around fall to the ground, then try to fly again. It was very funny.
Until of course a bee will say something , a wasp will tell him to buzz off and fights will inevitably brake out. Nothing worst than a bunch of drunken wasps and bees.

Arch Coal Announces Succession Plan to Ensure Continuous, Effective Leadership; Board Expands to Eleven Directors
ST. LOUIS (February 24, 2006) – Arch Coal, Inc. (NYSE:ACI) and its Board of Directors have approved a succession plan that will ensure strong and continuous leadership at Arch Coal in the years ahead.
Following Arch Coal's annual meeting on April 28, President and Chief Executive Officer Steven F. Leer will become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer John W. Eaves will become President and Chief Operating Officer. Eaves will continue to report to Leer.
Also effective April 28, current Chairman of Arch Coal's Board of Directors James R. Boyd will become Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as well as the corporation's Lead Director.
In addition, Arch Coal's Directors today announced that they had increased the size of the board to 11 members and elected Eaves to fill the newly created position effective immediately.
"The Board of Directors and I have been planning this transition for several years as part of a well-crafted and orderly succession process," Boyd said. "Steve and John are highly capable leaders who are uniquely qualified to lead Arch Coal in today's exciting energy marketplace. The Board and I look forward to working with both of them to build significant new value for Arch's shareholders in the years ahead."
"It is an honor to accept this new role with the company," said Leer. "I believe that Arch is exceptionally well positioned for future success, and I look forward to working with the Board, John and the entire Arch Coal team to ensure that we realize our great potential as a company. We will continue to emphasize our three core values – safety, environmental stewardship and shareholder value – which we regard as the central tenets of long-term success in the U.S. coal industry."
Leer has served as the President and CEO of Arch Coal, Inc. since the company was formed in July 1997. Prior to the formation of Arch Coal, Leer served as President and CEO of Arch Mineral Corporation, one of Arch Coal's predecessor companies. Leer also has held executive management positions with The Valvoline Company (a subsidiary of Ashland Inc.), Ashland Inc. and Ashland Coal, Inc. Leer has a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from the University of the Pacific and an MBA from Washington University's Olin School of Business.

Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains "forward-looking statements" – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," or "will." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, particular uncertainties arise from changes in the demand for our coal by the domestic electric generation industry; from legislation and regulations relating to the Clean Air Act and other environmental initiatives; from operational, geological, permit, labor and weather-related factors; from fluctuations in the amount of cash we generate from operations; from future integration of acquired businesses; and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

When drivers are on the road in company-branded vehicles, they're the face of your company. They're responsible for upholding the reputation, conduct, and professionalism of your organisation. Their safety on the road is paramount, but it doesn't just impact them. It affects other drivers and pedestrians, as well as how people see your company.
Safe driving has a number of obvious benefits. It keeps your workforce in good health, reduces incidents, avoids injuring other motorists, and reduces costs and loss of time caused by damage to vehicles. So, how do you ensure you have safe drivers?
When it comes to driver safety training, drivers have usually heard the same content repackaged in so many different ways that they've stopped listening and may even have become complacent. It's not that they don't care, it's that they can't stand to wade through another hour-long compliance elearning program that will quiz them on common sense information.
One of the best ways to break through complacency is to take an unexpected approach. The element of surprise, of something different and fresh, that is bold and engaging will go a long way towards capturing people's attention. It will help drivers to lower their guard and be open to hearing what's being said.
Humour can go a long way to cutting through and making a connection with learners. If they're entertained, it's easier to forget that they're doing training, and far more likely that they'll be receptive to the content.
Pairing comedy with a story to convey your training will go an extra step towards engaging your learners. Give them characters they can relate to and empathise with so that they can make an emotional connection. Offer them a story that feels realistic, like something that could actually happen to them.
All of this will help learners slip into a state of mind similar to when they're being entertained. It will reduce the urge to argue against the content and will make them more willing to listen. Add to this a polished aesthetic to make the training look enticing, well-written content with just the essential information, make it easy to access, and you'll have a winning combination.
So the next time you need to update your driver safety training, invest in a solution that will make an impact, connect with your drivers, and help to represent your company reputation when they're on the road.

Supercars teams in favour of extended Queensland stay
Supercars teams are in favour of an extended stay in Queensland between Townsville and the Bathurst 1000, which would likely see the season finish at Mount Panorama.
The Bathurst 1000 has been firming as the season finale for some weeks now, thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne, and concerns over case numbers in Sydney.
As a result Victoria and Greater Sydney are largely cut off from the rest of the country, and seven of the 10 teams are now in exile in the north of the country.
Motorsport.com understands there is now no doubt that Plan A is to keep the Victorian teams on the road until the Bathurst 1000 in October 8-11, rather than send them home and risk lengthy quarantines or refusal of entry into New South Wales.
As it stands, teams would be able to travel from Queensland to NSW for Bathurst without issue, although the three Queensland-based teams could potentially need to self-isolate on their return.
The trade-off to that plan is that the season would end at Bathurst, with the trips to Western Australia, Tasmania and Sydney called off.
The majority of the exiled teams are understood to be in favour of continuing the south-east Queensland hub until Bathurst rather than returning home in September.
Teams have also been informed that a Queensland Raceway double-header is indeed in the works, with preliminary talks underway with circuit owner John Tetley.
September 19-20 and 26-27 would be the logical dates, however a deal is yet to be struck and important details – such as obtaining the necessary Motorsport Australia safety sign-off for the track – are still up in the air.
A Supercars spokesperson said the category's official position on the matter is unchanged from last week: "Everything is own the table and we're working through options with teams and broadcasters right now."
Should the QR double-header go ahead, Supercars would race on seven of the next nine weekends.
The exhausting stretch would start this weekend with the first of two consecutive rounds at Hidden Valley in Darwin.
The Townsville double-header is already locked in straight after the second Darwin round, with two events on August 29-30 and September 5-6.
There would then be a weekend off before the mooted QR double-header, and another weekend off before the 2020 running of the Great Race at Mount Panorama.

Graham Laing decided to retire 10 years earlier than planned to enjoy an epic driving tour with his SLC. The plan, inspired by conversations with his Father, was to drive the SLC from the southern most tip of mainland Europe in Spain to the northernmost tip of mainland Europe in Norway.
When he told his children, they said 'you should write a blog about it'… So that's exactly what Graham is doing. Graham approached the SLSHOP and asked whether we would be interested in hosting his work, and we were only too happy to share his story. The SLCenic Route was born!
In this episode Graham and his SLC scour Sweden for Saabs
The SLCenic Route
Episode 26 – Sundsvall (Sweden) to Horten (Norway) 412 miles
A long drive today, not sure if it is going to be too long, only one way to find out. Happy to leave a sunny Sweden and beautiful Airbnb house, it is amazing what little gems you can find.
The rest of Sweden hasn't changed, still more forests, and lakes, then as if by magic, hills appear. It's Norway. Once again on this trip, there were no signs saying you've crossed a border, but I knew the feel of a Norwegian road, smoother and wider.
Now, I might be biased after my previous days in Norway, but even the forests in Norway seem nicer. I think it is because the trees are cut back further from the road and there is not so much undergrowth; it does not feel as claustrophobic. It felt much more like a Scottish forest.
The cars on the road changed as well. More electric cars and less Volvos. Norway is big on electric cars; the Government pays massive incentives such as free charging, parking, money off initial price etc. Not sure how green this is when it is effectively paid for by oil revenues?
What I was surprised about in Sweden was the lack of Saab's. It's 8 years since they went bust, but I saw very few. Talking to the host of Airbnb last night, they said, for the last couple of years before Saab went bust, everyone knew it was going to happen and nobody bought Saab.
I'm now in Horten a small port on the Oslo Fjord where I can smell and see the sea again, lovely. My great grandmother was born here, maybe that is another reason why I like Norway so much. It's at the same latitude as the Orkney Islands, so nearing the summer solstice the sky is still quite bright in the evening. Tonight it is raining which for the first time in 10 days makes it look dark. Feels strange.

TOMORROW Southport Rugby Club will play Crewe and Nantwich at Waterloo Road, KO 3pm.
Captain John Roberts claims never in his long career to have lost against the Cheshire side, and he does not expect that record to be broken this week.
Having put up a credible performance away against unbeaten Ashton-on-Mersey last week, this mid-table clash should result in a home win. John Sawbridge's kicking from hand and from the tee were a welcome addition to the team's armoury, and he is selected again in his natural position of full-back.
Andy Boland gets into the starting line-up as scrum half this week, with the selectors keen to asses his potential compared to Ben Swinson. Both have good credentials for this vital position, inside the mercurial Steve Hunter.
The second XV are away against Birchfield, who are four places below Martin Bailey's team in the league table.
After last week's massive win against Sefton, another victory is certainly on the cards.
Justin Griffiths will take the third XV to Anselmians, never an easy ground to visit, but his team is raring to go, having been let down last week by Prenton, who could not raise a team to honour the fixture.
On Sunday the Under-17 Colts are at home against Ormskirk, who are just one place below them.
This should be a really exciting clash, as both sides can play open, fast, attractive rugby.

Many of them are trying to save money, and understandably so, but if they continue to fall behind on Accounts Payable or loan balances, what have they gained? If you find yourself at this cross-road, it is important that you stop and face reality. Don't fall prey to the false notion that everything will suddenly turn around and be rosy. It typically takes some time to turn around, and, as the saying goes, "The best way to get out of a hole is to stop digging!"
As the financial returns of the industry get better, as they eventually may, will you be able to not only pay your current bills, but also catch up old Accounts Payable? That is a tough process to handle. It's crucial that you don't become complacent with this, because, while it may be challenging to handle, not doing so can cause irreversible damage to your finances. If you get too far behind, you may find yourself without adequate resources or the energy to overcome the necessary hurdles.
- Get it together financially. This requires that you measure where you currently are in your business. What are your strengths? What areas do you need help with? All progress begins with telling the truth. It will be the foundation for any sound transformation.
- Get the necessary help. With very few exceptions, I have found that lenders will be willing to help you reach your objectives if you know what they are. Even where they were unable or unwilling to participate long term, banks have usually worked with us long enough to acquire financing elsewhere.
- However, they need to know the plan you have in mind. So, build your plan! Know what you want to accomplish, what you'll need to change to get there and where you might need assistance financially.
- Once you start to move forward with the plan of action, be sure to measure your results. This is the only way you'll know if you are still on track or if you must adjust your plan. Just be sure to give the plan a chance to work, assuming it is built upon a solid foundation. Remember that "Rome was not built in one day!"
- Keep your lenders informed with regard to your progress. Often, your lender may have a situation where you have as much as a "65% Loan to Value." That simply means that your Equity position is about ½ of what their loan position is. With this in mind, it is imperative that you keep them informed about your level of progress.
- I hope you've found this brief synopsis helpful. Remember to be sure you know where you are starting, what changes you'll need to make, what your plan is to get to the next level, what your ultimate objective is, what your ongoing results are at all times, and that you are keeping your lender informed. Each of these factors will be essential to your future success. To see more on this, simply visit the video below.

So you think you are a Photographer !
Bollox are you ! Most people that carry cameras these days are just camera owners.
If you buy lots of ingredients from a Supermarket and carry them around with you it won't make you a Chef, not even if you do have a £10,000 Cooker and all the pots and pans. You need to learn all the classics and possibly even start off in the pot wash or on veg prep.
Well it's the same with a Camera with all the gear, it takes years of practice and a lifetime of learning.
One very well known Photographer once said to me " you have to do a long time in the trenches before you can call yourself a photographer"
It's no good watching Youtube and having a good look around Social media. YouTube does help but youtube is not a great way to learn and retain information. Social media is either one way or the other it's either lots of people blowing smoke up your arse, or a lot of hate. Most of the time its gives you a 50/50 view of your work by uneducated people who might be lying for their own benefit !
The other issue these days is so called Ambassadors or Influencers ! Most just work to a template of formula to produce images you want to see that you think are great. Technically most of their images are fine but are they any good ? They are famous today but will you remember them in 10-20 years time ? Who made them famous ? Their work or their association with a brand ? Don't get me wrong there are some great Ambassadors out there with some amazing work but do you know the good from the bad ?
Don't even get me started on the Fake Instagram and Social media stars with paid followings and brown filters !
People these days who are making crap images have even started to slag off some of the greats or try to debunk there work in a vain attempt to make themselves feel better.
It's all becoming a real mess how do new people know who to follow and how to learn ! Well it's not easy its a complete minefield out there and coupled with that the fact that most people with a camera think they are a Pro the moment they get the camera out of the box it's a big mess.
I have seen many an argument about Bruce Guildon or Martin Parr the funny thing is most people don't have a clue what a good or bad image is or why ! So there is no way they can work out who are the modern day greats !
I won't go in to the guy I watched tell Nick UT he used the wrong film when he shot the Napalm Girl !
A great photographer will be out there every day honing their craft and probably won't even have time to teach or talk until they are a lot older and have more time on their hands. I have seen people leave University without a body of work and set up teaching workshops and people actually going on their courses ! Most of the Course content has been stolen form the internet or they have been on other photographers workshops to make notes and just replicate there course ! They are passing on No Passion and No Skill. There are so many workshops and courses out there now the market is flooded.
I remember reading about 10 years ago, how that one day the world would be saturated with cameras and then the new cream of photography would rise to the top. I think we are at that point now but the water has become so muddy most people don't have a clue what makes a great image or a great photographer and social media and political correctness is holding the future greats back like a great big dam. Combined with people with really average images trying to convince the world there work is great and some brands even falling for it !
I am now retiring in October this year so don't read this thinking he is just trying to sell his own workshops because I am not.
You might be thinking he thinks he is the dogs bollocks that Matt Hart but far from it I don't like any of my work and if you have been on any of my workshops you will know I like about 9 of my own images, and they all mean something to me personally.
I did find it funny on facebook when I read about a guy that culls his images down by first removing all the out of focus shots ! I think omg just stick the bloody thing on Auto you won't miss !
Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about learning to use a camera, this for most people takes a while but also the whole process is a lifetime of learning. Some people get stuck in the cocky pixel peeping stage where they know the camera inside out then then spend their lives on social media telling everyone how great they are ! They forget we have Google so we can just google their work and see a bunch of random shit with no meaning or context. These are the people that go to all the gear shows and try and piss off all the staff at the Trade counters with their vast knowledge. What they don't know is everyone just thinks they are a dick ! I love to google people having an argument about images and see how really bad there work is !!
No one gives a flying fuck what camera you have and if you are loyal to a brand any more just learn how to use what you have or find the right camera for you. It's just a box that takes a photo learn to use it then move the fuck on.
The only way to learn how to make and take pictures is immerse yourself in Knowledge, read up on the real greats from the past the same way great painters copied the brush strokes of the masters before them. You will go through the stage of copying the peoples work you admire but then it's time to start to find out who you are and what you have to say with your camera. Most people with cameras these days are like those kids in school with the tracing paper just copying what other people have done and never really moving forward.
I have taught thousands of people over the years and only a handful have listened and studied the greats and then gone on to produce great bodys of work or find their own style.
It's not easy and involves a lot of work and that is why most people don't ever learn and don't ever get anywhere and the camera manufactures love you because it's you that they can convince that there new lens or new camera can make you a better Photographer but sadly there are no shortcuts. Hard work dedication and a lifetime of learning is the only way.
If I wrote a blog post about the Fujifilm X100F it would reach 20,000 people if I made a video about it it would reach 80,000 people, If I talk about how to move forward in your photography and become a great photographer I get about 100 hits ! What does that tell you.
I used to teach a learning to see workshop where I gave people the formula to be a great and successful Photographer but because its involves hard work people don't follow the route. I think out of all the courses I did only 3 people really listened and one is now producing great work and has been talking and exhibiting their work.
Instead of going to all the gear shows support all the great Exhibitions around the world that are not about the gear but about great projects and great work.
In the UK we have Hull International Photography Festival and Photo North in Harrogate the Birmingham Photography Festival etc
Go to an Art Gallery and see how the masters paint light in to a scene or frame and image.
Have a look at the great books by Bluecoat Press.
I hear people moaning about the cost of Exhibitions at £5 or £20 and it makes me laugh, they spend £1000 on a new lens and some shitty bags and more lens cloths and that new KickStarter thing that they think will make them great at The Photography Show but £5 -£20 spent on looking at real work by real people will inspire you more than any bit of kit but it might not make you feel happy inside like a new camera ! People were moaning about paying £20 to go and see Don Mccullin's work in London a while back. I was shocked, I wonder if people realise how much these things cost to put on. I have a friend who put on a small exhibition a couple of years back and it cost him 35k ! It's not like TPS where all the brands pay for all the artists.
Photowalks also help, get out in the fresh air with like minded people, be careful you don't get stuck with the know it all gear freak ffs they will drive you insane, but listen to the conversations that way you will hear some new names you can research and find out about the next Exhibition or Festival you might hear some names you have never heard off and find out that there work inspires you.
So how is this blog post going to help ! I think most people could not give a shit to be honest they just want to be YouTube famous or have 20,0000 likes on Insta.
I am not going to give it all away in one blog post I am going to write a series of posts and now I am out and about again try and make some YouTube videos that really do help the few people that really want to learn to make it. It's all up to you though as I say there really are no shortcuts.
The truth is it's all about Projects and Finding your own style but its like weight loss you can tell everyone losing weight is all about diet and exercise and because that sounds like hard work they switch off ! You can't lose 3 kilos in 5 minutes and keep off you have to work at it.
It's the same with Photography you have to start by researching who the greats really are in the area of Photography you want to learn then immerse yourself in there work. Once you have learnt as much as you can you need to get out there and shoot and shoot. The more time you spend with a camera in your hand the better you will get, and that is where Personal Projects come in.
Don't shoot for your friends and social media shoot for you shoot something that really means something to you, shoot something that you are passionate about it's not about likes or fluffy comments it's about learning ! Start a project today and make it last a year and produce a book at the end of it. Do you know how many times I have said that and how many people have done it ? How about if I told you the greats work on projects all the time !
Good luck
Exposure Triangle the rest is personal.
I had another great year at The Photography Show and this year was just the same as last year as far as questions were concerned, but this time about the Xpro2 and not the X-T2 so I have decided to answer a few questions in this blog. If you came to the show and listened to my talk for Fujifilm UK, you will know how much I hate writing and why. I also only tend to write my blog when I have something to say, the rest is just noise.
One of the great things about TPS is the fact that so many photographers get together in one place and get to inspire each other. I always come away from the show buzzing with ideas. This year the biggest buz and the coolest places to be where the SmugMug Stand and the Fujifilm Stand, this is in part to the huge community of like minded photographers that love to be part of what is becoming the coolest collaboration in photography ever.
To many people get bogged down in the TEC, at the end of the day you only need a box with a lens and a way of controlling Aperture, Exposure and ISO the rest is all personal taste.
We all choose cameras we like the look and feel off and we listen to the people around us for feedback and read reviews etc, that is the same for a sofa or pair of shoes or a toaster.
People are free to choose what ever camera they like so there is no real need to moan about one you don't like go buy one that fits your personal requirements.
All you really need is the exposure triangle the rest is just semantics! I was asked over and over again at the show to pick all the fault's in the XPro2 and when I said it does not have any, one person was pushing me for a fault he even said "so what would other people say was wrong with it" I don't know what other people would say I have never been one to wish a camera had this or what or needed x or y I just buy a camera that I feel an emotional connection to and that has the exposure triangle close to hand, after all that is all I NEED ! I don't need much more in my line of work, I am a Photographer and just need to take pictures. I do like a great lens to give me a sharp image if I want a sharp images and Fuji lenses give me that in droves.
I have an XT10 for Street and to stick in my pocket and that has a 27mm lens on it, I have another XT10 with a 90mm lens on it. My XPro2 has a 35mm f/2 lens on it and my X-T1 has a battery pack and 50-140mm on it most of the time. These are all for different jobs like a mechanic with a socket set! The Cameras are the ratchets and the lenses the sockets so picking fault in ratchet or socket for one job is pointless when you have a great set of tools ! I get asked about 4k video etc and I roll my eyes ! I have two GoPro cameras for video if I want to shoot 4K but in all honesty the Video in my XPro2 or X-T1 is great for blogging etc If I wanted amazing stunning video I would buy a new tool for my tool box not moan about the ones I have.
So why do I buy new cameras if I am not chasing the tec ? I chase the warranty that's why, you see so many people blaming the manufactures and moaning about faults 5 months or 8 months out of warranty. I thinks it's mad! Social media has become a media hub for moaning about out of warranty issues with all brands. As a professional even before I used Fuji X Series camera I used to buy a new Nikon body every time the warranty ran out that way if I ever had an issue I could return it and get it repaired without any hassle. To be honest in all the time I have owned the Fujifilm X System and I don't look after my tools as much as I should, I have never had to have them repaired. The only camera I sent back was one of my X-T1's for the light leak issue and that was turned around in 7 days.
Quite a few people think we get our kit for free but this is just not true, I paid for all my Fuji X Cameras and lenses before I was a Fujifilm Ambassador and still do to this day. We do get to hire new gear when it's available and free of charge but it has to be given back. The only camera I have been given was the Fuji XPro2 and this also had my name on the serial number. This was a gift for all my hard work in the XPro2 launch and my ongoing work for Fujifilm. But when I say given, if I had invoiced Fujifilm for my time this it would far outweigh the cost of the camera.
Mirrorless cameras make great tools and don't take up any room so you can in fact have quite a few in your toolbox, I also do like a spare body for back up.
I was asked at the show if I could choose one X Series camera what one would it be ! That is like saying what is your favourite Socket or wrench! Well the answer if it was a toolbox would be SnapOn and what ever socket I needed for the job.
So why Fuji, well I started buying the X Series cameras and the found this great community around the world that all had this passion for the brand, they would share there passion and I soon found myself starting Fujiholics to put on events to get everyone together to share the passion and take photos, mostly of coffee and cake and each others cameras it appears !
As far as a camera is concerned, I only need an exposure triangle and I am happy, but the X Series have given me so much more I have never had so many collaboration talks with so many photographers. The Fujifilm teams all over the world are all great people and are all part of the community in one way or another.
If you pushed me to say what is the best all round Street Combo I would have to say the XPro2 and 35mm f/2 lens at the moment but that's because I LOVE shooting Acros Film Simulation with Green filter Jpegs are my thing at the moment as I hate processing with a vengeance. The 35mm f/2 is just sexy that is all !
I try to have an emotional attachment to my work and I need the same feeling with my camera system. Perfect tool for that is right for the job.
They X Series do look good next to a coffee and cake to !
Street Life
Quite a long way back, I was asked to talk at The Photography Show by Marc Horner from FujiFilm UK. I had been a FujiFilm X Photographer for a while and was very excited to be able to represent Fuji at the show, easy decision to make ! I just said yes, and put it to one side it was months away and I had plenty of time to prepare. I did think about it every now and then and decided to get my good friend Gerallt Jones to shoot a short introduction Video to start my presentation. I wanted to keep it true to Fuji and have the short film shot on the Fuji X-T1 in black and white. We got together with a few of the Fujiholics on the 15th of February 2015 to shoot the film and I was not in a good place !! I idea of messing it up was getting to me big style. I was freezing up to the camera, every time G asked me to speak I forgot what I was doing, it got so bad we dropped the voice parts and just went for a soundtrack! I think suddenly it all hit me in 34 days time I will be up on a stage and what if I forget what to say! That was going round and round in my head for a few days after the video shoot ! I just did not want to let Marc and FujiFilm down and was getting nervous. I teach courses all the time, and talk all the time but this was for FujiFilm and it was at the NEC ! I managed to stop looking at the great big Cake, and break it down in to small slices. I left the presentation to the last minute to finish off, and then put the video on a flash drive and presentation on my lap top all backed up to a spare stick just in case I lost the first one ! Well time went by and I was fine very proud to be asked and was very excited, by the time we had got to the NEC and was relaxed and ready to go. We managed to get in to Hall 5 and see the StreetScape stage the night before and that was fine! Well it was big! Like a great big cake! But it was fine.. We made our way over to the Hotel and met up with the Fuji team and had a few drinks and everyone was excited about the show. We went up to our room and I got in to bed all relaxed then BOOM ! Great big Cake came back, 12.00,12.30,1.00,2.00,2.30,3.00,3.30 no matter how much I tried to think about every slice it was still a huge CAKE ! We made our way over to the show and I got set of for talk number one of my five talks for the weekend, and I was still stuck with a huge cake, all the normal nerves and worries about what can go wrong. We set up and a crowd started to form not just a couple of people at least 100 people were around the front of the stage, I thought I hope they all stay and don't wonder off! Sip of water Video goes on I take my position and its time.. By the time I had got on the stage and started talking I was CAKE free ! 100 people had become 200 then 300 and I was having the time of my life and I did not swear once! What an amazing experience to get up on a stage and not only talk about my passion for Street Photography but to be able to do it for FujiFilm UK. So thank you Marc Horner and FujiFilm for asking me to talk it was an amazing experience and thank you The Photography Show for the great stage set up, and the AV guys who relax you and make it all so simple ! One of the best experiences you can have as a photographer is talking about your work and your passion, so thanks every one that came to see me, I hope you got something useful out of my excited waffle ! If you want to come and see what I am all about then here is a list of my UK workshops for 2015 WORKSHOPS Images above by Gerallt Jones Thanks for coming guys and listening so intently to my Street Life talk…
The Photography Show 2015 Photowalk #FujiTPSWalk
On Saturday 21st of March 2015 I led a Photowalk around a small route in Birmingham for FujiFilm UK with Dave K Piper , some of the great Fujifilm UK Team and two members of the Fujifilm Japan Team.
We met up at 17:00 hours in Victoria Square and a Fujifilm X30 was given away as a prize.
We then set of to Royal Mail Street and made our way to the Old Line Birmingham Canal after a brief Street camera demo from myself and a quick Q & A by Damien Lovegrove.
Damien was soon to live up to his new name and the Love Gloves came off for the above shot. The Loveglove name came from a Japanease translation of Lovegrove a few weeks back when Damien was representing FujiFilm UK in Japan as one of the FujiFilm X Photographers.
We made our way down the Old Canal and crossed over at the bend and made our way up to the Library for a group photo. The group photo will be on the FujiFilm blog very soon.
Most of the images from the evening were posted on Twitter under the #FujiTPSWalk and are well worth a look. I managed to grab a few images between chatting and demonstrating a few street photography techniques. We then made our way to a local pub for a quiet drink before ending the evening. So, if you are at The Photography Show next year look out for a Street Walk, one of the best ways to see a city and make new friends.
If you don't want to wait till then, have a go at this great competition by Clifton Cameras and FujiFilm UK and try to win one of three Fuji X100T's and possibly a trip to Paris.
You can also come on one of the free Photowalks planned over the next 6 months, see web site for details http://www.techtoyreviews.com/fujifilm-xt10-rumors-sensor-fuji-xt1-price/

"Fire For A Dry Mouth" lyrics - BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME
Your piss is going sour... my mouth is full for the last time.
Don't think I don't read the gossip,
Don't think I don't know what's coming out of your fucking mouth.
You're broken, and I'm laughing, you're broken-go drink your life away.
Go fuck your life away with your filthy std's and your fucking night of rape.
Just go jerk off on your fucking stomach, impregnate yourself.
You're born again, just like you've always been.
Every fucking year... this year you abort yourself-get the fuck out of my life.
Never come back, I don't ever need you around.
What we shared means shit to you.
Laugh at me all you want, but I'm living what you once wanted.
And I'm happy... happy to be alive with real friend who don't spit in my face.
Real friends don't end friendship with change.
It's really hard to realize that you've stooped so low.
I've given chances, I've tried to mend... but it's all over now, I move on.
I piss in your mouth now, so don't ever talk to me again.
Tonight I will sleep well.
Tonight I realize that I will move on.
Tonight I hope your bed catches flame.
I killed your face.

A NANTWICH butcher scooped a string of top prizes at an awards ceremony.
Clewlow's in Pepper Street entered 12 of its finest products against 400 from members in the Q Guild's 2008 Smithfield Awards.
The entries were assessed by an independent panel of experts at the meat technology department at Leeds Thomas Danby College.
Ten of the 12 won, with gold going to the roast beef and spinach and ham tart. The popular butchers also won five silver and three bronze awards, including one for a new pork and chestnut sausage being introduced as a special item for Christmas.
Charles Clewlow, who runs the family business, said: "We are absolutely delighted to receive these awards. It is fantastic for our business as the Smithfield Awards are envied throughout the trade, adding value and prestige to any product fortunate enough to win.
"The roast beef that won gold is all from animals that are six miles away in Wrenbury, so it's good local produce."
Charles received the awards at a ceremony in Butchers Hall, London from TV chef and cookery school proprietor Lesley Waters.
Clewlow's other award-winning products were garlic sausage, maple bacon chop, pork, apple and cider sausage, lamb steak with garlic and thyme, pork and black pudding pie, steak pie, and old English sausage.
