This afternoon, while I was focussing on scenes of destruction, Jackie was producing her own set of me in action.
She began with my attention to the waves at Milton on Sea,
and progressed to picturing my descent down the undulating soggy slopes into the woods for my own photoshoot.
Here is her take on one of the fallen trees that I showed.
As she pointed out, this is a tree that must have fallen across the road, as indicated by sawn logs at one side and piled branches on the other.
I enjoyed Jackie’s photo documentary of Derrick at work! 🙂
🙂 Thank you very much, Lavinia 🙂
Looks like you’re getting around well on those pins now, Derrick.
Much better, thanks, Jane.
I enjoy seeing Jackie’s record of you at work. You watching the waves is an excellent shot – I got a sense of how you observe before raising the camera. It’s a difficult thing to capture waves at just the right moment! The other one I like is the close up of you, again just looking, within the forest. It gives excellent perspective to the size of the trees and again shows the contemplation that goes into a photographer’s work. It seems you are walking about quite confidently – onwards and upwards eh!! 🙂
Thanks very much, Pauline. I really like the way you have interpreted these pics – with insight and the eye of a photographer. I did manage the slopes better than I had expected.
I was interested to see how far his need to get a picture of certain subjects would take him! quite a long way down a sloping landscape it would seem! Very pleased that he went so far considering the terrain. J
You both were busy in your own ways. Great pics.
We were, Peggy. I was unaware of what Jackie was doing until was a long way off. Thanks very much.
I wondered if you knew you were being observed. lol
🙂
Glad to see that Jackie was keeping an eye on you, Derrick. Those tall trees make you look like Gulliver in the land of the giants. 😅
She did put me in context, Sylvia. Thanks very much.
As much as we love your “action” shots, you were too close to the water! Please be careful.
🙂 Much appreciated, Jill.
Good to see the photographer before the camera. She did a great job.
She did, Drew. Thanks very much.
Thanks!
Be careful, Derrick. Soon we might demand a dedicated Jackie blog. Those photographs were so different and gave us a view of the forest we hadn’t seen before. Go Jackie!
Quite so. Thank you very much, John.
Glad you liked the pics John. Hope you are now well again. X
Yes Thank you Jackie. I think I have milked as much sympathy as I can so I’ll just get on with things.
🙂
Looks like you were looking for your muse…
Thanks a lot, Geoff.
I’m sure he was! One day he’ll find it.
She has a nice photo story.
Thank you very much, Mrs W.
Your welcome.
I thought you were being stalked there for a moment. 🙂
🙂 Many thanks, Chrissy.
How nice to have a photographer’s photographer. Every photographer should have one.
🙂 Quite so, Tootlepedal. Thanks a lot.
This is quite a lovely series. It’s especially nice to see you in the woods, for a bit of comparison with those trees. I knew they were large, but I didn’t realize exactly how large!
Thanks very much, Linda. I liked the way Jackie used the context
I do appreciated different perspectives. Thank you Jackie 💛
Much appreciated, Val.
My pleasure Val.
I enjoyed Jackie’s photo essay of Derrick! (I’ll bet she had fun doing it.)
She did, Liz. Thank you very much.
🙂
I did , I was wondering just how far he was going! and if I would ever see him again.
At one point, he did seem to recede into a pinprick in the distance. 🙂
She found a great subject 😉
🙂 Thanks very much, Ribana
Didn’t I just!
That is a story that tells a lot about your meandering and your keen eyes for subjects to shoot. You appear rapt, hungry fo photography, and lost in your quest. Thanks to Jackie for this pictorial chronicle, and for going farther and capturing scenes that you might be contemplating to capture.
Much appreciated, Uma. Thank you.
He was clearly being driven to get ever more interesting views for his pictures.
Intent, he was!
🙂
I enjoyed these perspectives, especially the one of you near the mossy tree trunk. A couple of the photos reminded me of “Where’s Nugget,” or rather, “Where’s Derrick?”
🙂 Some certainly needed biggifying. Thanks very much, JoAnna.
Yes! Especially the last one!
I had to go back and look for him after this comment. I had no idea he was in that shot!
🙂
Jackie’s photo set is a fitting sequel to the story. Joint effort paid off.
Thank you.
You are very welcome, Jackie.
Fun to see photos of you for a change…
Thanks a lot, Judy
I’ve got a brilliant idea for a blog for Jackie. It would be called “Where’s Derrick?” Ten pictures and he’s only in one of them. Or he’s in all of them, but extremely well hidden. And so on.
I’ll pass it on, John. Thanks a lot.
Oh, Jackie! These are such wonderful photos! You kept a close watch on The Great Photographer AND you snapped some great photos of him at work! They are photos to treasure! 🙂
HA! Two of those photos did make me think of “Where’s Derrick?”, too! 😀 Fortunately, his beautiful hair clued me into where he was! 😉
HUGS to both of you!!! 🙂
Very many thanks from us both, Carolyn XX
Were you the only one out walking in the forest today?
We saw no-one else, Andrew. Thanks a lot.
Jackie, I think it might be time for you to think about having your own blog!
Great to see you in action, Derrick. I especially like your pensive photographer’s look. Many thanks, Jackie!
Thanks very much from us both, Laurie.
Well
Done Jackie
– -and Derrick. Looks like those knees are strong and well
Not too bad, Yvette. Many thanks
😊
Whoa – that must have been some storm…. Yikes – those fallen victims are quite large. Hope nobody was injured…
During the three storm period just one man was killed by a falling tree in the county. Thank you very much, Anna.
Yikes! I guess that’s a good thing, but still….
I loved getting another perspective of your family!
Thank you very much, Luanne
Nice to see Jackie taking the shots of you for a change. I wonder how much longer it will be soggy under foot!
Thanks very much, Helen. We wonder, too.
😊
Jackie is a good visual storyteller 🙂
Thanks very much, Sylvie. I’ll pass it on 🙂
Great to see both sides of ‘life behind the lens’.

🙂
Thanks very much, Melanie X
These two posts were wonderful! I loved seeing things from both perspectives.
It was a new development. 🙂 Thanks very much, Jodie
I think she’s on to something!
🙂
A fine photo-documentary Jackie, much enjoyed.
Thank you very much from us both, Agnes
Good to see you out and about Knight.
Thanks very much, Flow
A splendid min-documentary by Jackie!
Thanks very much from us both, Merril
It is quite an achievement to be Jackie’s muse 🙂
🙂 As she has been mine, de-AL. Thanks very much.
