Last week I took a trip with my brother to the city of Londonderry......While he attended some meetings with local drama people I walked on top of the historic walls....about a square mile.......there was hardly anyone around but the few who were there were enough to make a couple of pictures.....nothing specular...... but because the place was a different environment to my usual abode it stimulated me.......I got a sense that the discussions on changing approach to the way I see and make pictures is gonna be not just beneficial but also fun.......
I think I'll keep an eye out for an old rolliflex or something similar......I mean they must be as cheap as old boots right now........and ask kodak to supply the film....

Dimension diary part 1, is Serialised Weekly in Additional Pages. Click on picture
“Dimension” is a contemporary and reflective narrative about the Europe project. It describes a number of specific European and near East events since 1973 till present. Through a spectrum of culture, politics, tradition, conflict, hope and endurance, it focuses on the evolution of the new Union Superstate, a time period of reform, development, identity and political direction. It is a visual and written account where citizens are at the heart of stories affecting their lives and future; as recorded in the diary of Daniel T. M. Guerlain, photojournalist and documentary photographer. © All rights reserved.

The Review Page: Violence, Veils and Bloodlines
Trying to eradicate tribalism from the world would be a futile endeavour. But Salome hopes that his readers learn to recognize the common traits they share with people all over the world, and thereby develop tolerance and compassion for other tribes. The biggest and broadest tribe is one to which we all belong, and that’s the human race. Click on image to go to the review page.

This is a little spot on Derry's Walls where girls from a nearby school meet as a private location to discuss things and do things and plan things. It is a long road ahead for these unsuspecting hopefuls.
King anniversary
A picture from Berlin. A Martin Luther King poster I think translates as "Expressing the truth needs courage." Although this was taken in 2006 I feel it can be put to use to celebrate the King anniversay.
