Although not a fan of electric locomotives, this one really drew my attention the moment she left the repairing factory. Faith was really on her side when the Brasov depot took the decision of repairing and most important, repainting her just as she was in her good old times ! Enjoy !
there is knee-deep snow everywhere meaning that i cant go outside to take photos for a while until everything melts so im gonna be taking a bunch of photos with my backdrop (:
Pretty crazy (and actually pretty!...before it got all messy and gross) what the aftermath of the snow looked like...
Which way is up?
A night of messing around looking for new effects.
I enjoy working on such things at home as a bit of a proving ground for when I get out into the night.
This was a triple axis rotation with differing starting positions for either side and the middle element.
100% concentration required to remember all the steps.

due to suspected copyright infringement, I have decided, regretfully, to drastically reduce the image size of my uploads and place a watermark on the image to hopefully prevent further infringement, I hope that this will not reduce your enjoyment of my photos, many regards to all my friends, Peter
Shot on iPhone 7 Plus.
Went for a run and stopped to take a picture of a puddle. That's not a puddle caused by all of my sweat but it could be - exercise is so hard in this heat wave.
Incidentally, that is the reflection of UK and USA flags - they mark how this part of the Brisbane river was a base for subs in WWII.

I've been busy all day and have a friend coming over for dinner, so I grabbed a quick shot of a tulip
Explored!
Week 41/52
This shot has been a long time in the making. It was requested by a friend of mine, Mateus, when I first started this project. He wanted me to recreate this sculpture, by my life-long obsession Gian Lorenzo Bernini. I never found the right time to do it, but this week I felt this urge to take the shot. I was already buying the fabric when I realized that tomorrow is actually October 15 — Saint Teresa of Avila's day. So it's either a nice trick my brain did there or a coincidence, but a happy one.
Teresa of Avila is my favorite saint. She's the one I pray to every time things go wrong, she's the one I turn to when I'm sure I can't do this or that, or face a problem or a situation. She's the one whose words I look to, for guidance — so this homage was bound to happen sooner or later.
She was an unbelievably strong woman — the first to be named a Doctor of the Church. Practically alone, she reformed the Carmelites in Spain, turned an order that was loosing itself in the mundane world, into a place of prayer and contemplation. She fought hard for what she wanted, and never seized to work until the day that she died. Her writings (especially her words on her ectsasies) are inspiring to read.
Of course, there's something to be said about the fact that I am representing the angel as well as Saint Teresa in the shot — this came merely out of necessity. I didn't have time to get a kid (even my sister) to do it with me, so I had to do it myself. I understand that for someone who looks into a deeper meaning in this, it might come across as strange, when Teresa of Avila so deeply enjoyed talking about letting go of ourselves and giving our lives to others (and here I am, twice in one shot). But that was the only way the shot could happen, so it had to be this way. Just forget I'm the angel as well. :p
So there's not much more I can say about this shot, other than to leave you with some of my favorite words of hers.
"Be gentle to all, and stern with yourself."
"There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers."
"To have courage for whatever comes in life -- everything lies in that."

On a completely different topic, I've been thinking about reopening my Etsy shop. Do you guys think I should? I've been getting some requests for prints, and I'd sure like to make some money with my work. But at the same time… i don't know. Do you guys think I should?
[Note (January 2015): The window and the arrow were found during a google search. I'm not sure if they are protected by copyright — at the time when I did this, I wasn't completely aware of copyright policy and I did it innocently — but it doesn't take from the fact that I used stock imagery. I've tried back search and other ways of tracking, but I haven't come up with these photos. Either way, if someone knows the author of the window or of the arrow, and can direct me to them, I'll be really grateful. And to the authors of these photos: I sincerely apologize, and I hope that if you ever come across this photo and see your work, you let me know so that I can properly credit you, or take it down. Thank you.]
Erbaut 1910/11 (Architekt: Richard Preuß) für den Bauunternehmer Franz Anders.
Seit 2017 werden online Wohnungen im sanierten Haus angeboten (palais-am-spreeufer.de/ - Januar 2025 noch online), 2021 gab es eine Anfrage der AfD-Fraktion im Bezirk an das Bezirksamt zu diesem Haus, Anfang 2024 erschien ein Artikel in der Berliner Morgenpost. - Hoffentlich ist zumindest das Dach dicht.
Taken from exactly the same spot as yesterday's photo - only snow this time; instead of Storm Ciara we had three inches of snow. Luckily it only lasted a couple of hours before ebbing away, but there was enough to cause traffic chaos.
A surprise snow motivated me to make a trip to the dog park, knowing they wouldn't get all muddy this time.
We're sharing 2 photos/day from this years' submission shortlist in the run up to the London+Berlin Showcase -November 19th- where 20 final images selected by 20 co-curators will be exhibited.
