Norwich Cathedral was built from 1096 to 1101, it was built using stone brought from Normandy. Between 1121 and 1145 the Nave was built and the present spire – the second highest in England – was added between 1356 and 1369. It is a magnificent building with a lot of unique features like its roof bosses – 100s of small figures that is scattered all over the ceiling.
I took this photo while I was there last week hoping to show the character and presence in this great building. I edited it quite a bit to remove various people and objects from the scene to get this completely empty shot, click on the image for a larger copy.

Someone referred me to artcoup.com. The photographer calls himself Boogie and he takes some amazing black and white photos. I was especially impressed by his Subway and Gang shots, the Subway ones are similar to many New York photographers but the Gang ones are very good, they are quite unique in my experience.

Lots of fanfare today about the release of XP SP2, I think I will install it on one of my machines and see how that goes. I had a bit of hassle getting a proper url for downloading it, so here it is. It’s a 250Mb download so unless you have bandwidth to burn wait for the auto updates version to come available that is apparently highly optimised.

I have been viewing Asya’s work for a year or so now and never stop being moved by it, she takes self portraits, there is not really much I will say about it, they are unique and people interpret them in their own way. Her http://www.myownself.com/ site does not unfortunately change much, I wish there were more new work added.
DP Review has a interview with her that gives insight into how and why she makes these photos.
I’m an ambidextrous, color-blind math grad student, 22. I have two master degrees and I’m two years away from my Ph.D. in Bioinformatics. From time to time I want to ditch my college and do photography but I’m afraid I appear to be a coward and of course such attitude doesn’t lead to anything except mediocrity, to be generous.

I thought I mentioned this excellent online photography magazine before, but it seems I did not. It is a bimonthly online magazine that showcase works from fine arts and documentary photographers, some very good work to be found here. This months issue has a good set of photos taken in the Tate gallery in London.
