I really hope that this is how we can all remember Lord Korkington ? Fond memories of enjoying a lunch with him at Warwick Folk Festival, and then during the TIPF Grand Day Out .... in Stratford - Upon - Avon. Admin if you feel this isn’t right, please hold the pics until it is..... I am hoping that others from our wonderful trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon will be able to add more. FUJI

Some of you may recall that in the past three years? I posted quite a few Street Portraits, under the title....Blues Player.... Robbie the busker, who, with his tent and guitar trecked between the West Midlands and our town; usually along the canal towpaths. He was a very gentle, very quiet person; he sang in the style of Charlie Landsborough. He chose the wandering minstrel life to having a permanent home.... I with many others in town, befriended him, gave him money, the odd pastie or hot drink and warm clothes. Around late Spring this year he was seen to be limping quite badly, he told me that he required knee surgery.... a few weeks later he excitedly told me that a local vicar, plus many of his KENILWORTH friends had helped to acquire a flat, so he could convalesce until he was fit to wander again. Then I missed him, and just assumed that he had decided to wander again..... it came as a severe shock then, when acquaintances informed me that Robbie the Blues a singer had passed away. Unfortunately no one had thought to tell me; what was good to learn, was that they had all clubbed together to give him a proper send off, with flowers and a circle of friends...so very sad that I missed it. I knew that I just had to paint this portrait of him, in the hopes that he might be remembered further, if I write what I, and other friends knew of him on the reverse.... This is the ...Watercolour ....version, I am also working on another in oils. RIP ROBBIE.... THE BLUES SINGER. FUJI

I choose this holiday shot by Denis this week, because it isn’t the usual touristy view of the Sidney Opera House .Also the photograph has a sense of place, combined with a real feel for the weather conditions at the time of shooting. FUJI

Thinking of you both Dee..... XXXX FUJI

In Photoshop CS6 I save all my forum-bound pics as JPEGS at 1200 mp on the longest size.... these suit then for using in emails too. The originals are saved at 300, as taken in psd format after conversion from RAW. FUJI
