The Hall held together by a few trying to keep the community alive. My Parents live in Douglas on the Isle of Man. This was a strange journey, heavy with memories of loss.

Does Her Face Foretell Her Fate? By WILLIAM MEYERS Nothing holds our attention like a human face. So necessary is it for us to "read" faces that our brains evolved two separate neural systems specialized to help—one to recognize whose face it is, and the other to interpret its expression. It is therefore not surprising that when Stephen Pinson, the New York Public Library's curator of photography, set about organizing "Recollection," an exhibition up through Jan. 2 celebrating the 30th anniversary of the library's photography collection, he picked 95 portraits.

The Canterbury Plains and the Alps I can't help, but be reminded of Dartmoor, where I grew up, when I walk in these hills. View to the Southern Alps

Waipawa hall At last I have started on post production of the new book, "Community halls in small town New Zealand". It was a lot work photographing all these halls with John O'Malley. We had to split New Zealand as the project was so big, I got the North Island and John got the south. A bit inconvieniant for me as we both live in the South Island. Papatawa hall We even found halls that weren't on the list, like Papatawa hall. This was a series of road trips that came to approximately 8000 kilometers of driving. The members of Pohangina hall New Zealand Halls are a defining part of our culture and still thrive despite the major changes that have happened to New Zealand in the last 60 years. Young and old still gather in these halls the meet have fun and keep the community going. Old and young in Pohangina hall

by Phil Coomes http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-13208423 John G Morris is a name that will probably mean little to most of you reading this, yet to news photographers and picture editors it's a name that most will recognise and hold in esteem. Morris' was the editor of photographer Robert Capa on D-Day and went on to help shape the look of the post-war picture magazine. He was also the first executive editor of Magnum Photos and worked at The Washington Post and The New York Times before moving to Paris in 1983 where he worked as correspondent and editor for National Geographic.
