Often, when I put some up that was taken ages ago, I feel almost obligated to apologise for having nothing contemporary to post, but on this occasion I'm not too worried about it as I'm pleased with this one. It's a shot of John, taken in early 2005, and I must have processed this one at least a dozen times (and not been happy with the result). Anyway, I'm happy with this version.

Lovely tones on this one David.
I don't think you should feel the need to apologize for using older pictures. I do it all the time :) Sure, a blog is about development, but going through the archives, re-evaluating, and reprocessing images is also development.
I really like this shot. The contrast and the sepia toning work really well, and it's an interesting composition.

Someday, David, I'd like to hear a bit more about how processing images is therapeutic for you. Is your workspace a haven, where you can escape from the frenetic pace of day-to-day life? Sometimes I imagine you sitting down with a drink, and some classical music, othertimes, I see the opposite, all based on your pictures.
Then again, maybe I am reading too much into it, again.

It almost looks like he is looking out at the desert. Nice shot.

The texture and tone work great together. As your title implies, they strenghten the feeling of being in a strange, alien world.

Beautiful photograph. Everything about it is great.
comment byFellow Eskimo at 06:44 AM (GMT) on 2 December, 2006
Very interesting, it seems very flat (the water), but the contrast is great.

Very cool look to this shot. A great photo and great effect.

I love the texture in the water. Great PP.

bellissime foto, il tuo stile è veramente unico! ma qual'è il tuo segreto?
comment by Richard Trim at 05:57 PM (GMT) on 2 December, 2006
Now Dave ...that is a photograph that really turns my head ... not to say that others haven't as well. There is something about piers that intrigue me as well ... and I love the vaguely Edward Hopper feel to the whole mood of the composition.
comment byJeff Ambrose at 08:47 PM (GMT) on 2 December, 2006
I like the leading lines here, I can't figure out if I'm looking at water or sand but I like it either way.
comment bydjn1 at 10:15 PM (GMT) on 2 December, 2006
Thanks all.
Geoff: well put.
Eric: my office is a mess, but it's my office, and I do feel as though it's a bit of a haven. And I do often have a glass of wine, but don't often listen to music.
Fellow Eskimo (and Jeff): it's wet sand, rather than water.
brecht: yes, I do, and I know that it's not especially fitting. I like it though and Hunky Dory was/is one of my favourite albums.

Lovely shot, probably a recent fave.

Does anyone feel a little off balance in this picture? Almost like the pier is unstable. Although the horizon is flat, I still feel like i could fall off if I'm not carefull.

I think that makes me like it more.
