Con esta toma doy por concluida la serie de Los Urros.
No me convence demasiado por su composicion, el exceso de peso en el lado derecho y el apelotonamiento de elementos desequilibra la imagen. Los tonos y el procesado sí son de mi agrado.

Out past the Andromeda galaxy, where the fleebnorks float in free space...
We find our hero, Maximillian O'Connor making a run for his life down escape pod corridor "B" while a heinous creature of unknown biological origin snaps at his heels. It's stench triggers a gag reflex.
..."They said it was contained... that the stasis field would hold... now they're all gone. I'll never taste Melissa's sweet lips again"....
Will he make it to the last escape pod in time? Hells to the No! ...
Well,... maybe. Stay tuned.

ive been going through a bit of an artistic crisis. lately ive felt like im trying to be something im not.. i dunno if its true or not, but thats how i feel right now. and i just want to be me.
however, my day was thoroughly brightened when i received a package in the mail. a very kind gentleman sent me a remote (yay! taking this picture was a piece of cake compared to normal) and a lens extender, addressed to "karrah kobus awesome photographer."
oh, and i want to explain this a little bit too, cause i feel like spine and butterfly pictures are everywhere, but this actually means something to me. and maybe i could have been a little bit more abstract in portraying this, but ive been sick for like a week and thats going to be my excuse, ha.
but when it comes to going back to being "me," the first thing i thought of is one of the experiences that makes me most unique, and that is the back surgery that i went through. i decided to make an image focusing on the spine... i altered it to appear abnormal and perhaps a bit ugly. i wanted the butterfly to symbolize an extension of the opposite. something soft and beautiful. i have a big scar on my back, but im pretty comfortable with it. so i just wanted to remember to not only accept myself, flaws and all, but embrace everything i have that is uniquely me.
i was also feeling inspired by my past as a dancer (nostalgia partially brought on by recently seeing black swan, which is super good). i miss the bright stage lights.
p.s. my goal is to get over half way by the day my 365 is supposed to be over.. yea, pretty pathetic haha. but im still only counting selfies.
quick before + after on my blog.

One of my first SLR shots, taken in NYC a decade ago. The visit was a 21st Birthday celebration, alongside the gift of the camera itself. This is another scan of an original film image, EXIF data added, but no edits to the noise, scratches, etc. The trip was my compelling first connection to NYC; a city I got to return to a lot whilst studying more recently upstate. It was marked by the drifting mist and cloud in evidence in this view, which, neither undermined my engagement with the city itself nor, especially looking at this image in the years since 911, detracts from the impression it creates.
I would suggest viewing on black, despite the grain.
[From here on, I'm afraid things become a little reflective and over-wrought. It's not intended to offend, and no offence would be taken if you choose to skip it entirely.]
Having worked and studied overseas and in upstate NY, I've obviously made friends with a lot of people with far more intimate and emotional connections to 911 than I have myself. Not wanting to intrude upon or distract those far more powerful accounts, I still thought I might briefly commit some of my rememberings to this posting by way of commemoration and perspective.
On the day itself, we were living in Chipas, Mexico. In terms of timezones, this meant as we awoke the first tower was already on the news. Events unfolded as an American friend and I prepared for a morning volunteering (as English teachers) at the local orphanage. We had to leave for our teaching during the collapse. At the orphanage the kids would ask questions to get to know us, natural to them given their context, but strange to us, like; "Do you have a father/mother?" My friend's father was flying that morning, and he had been unable to contact him before we left, which gave a surreal, uneasy, yet somewhat epiphanic, edge to the morning.
Meanwhile, the close friend of another teacher in our group, was working in an upper level of the second tower. She had been unable to contact her. Understandably perhaps, to avoid panic and potential injury, after the first impact, she later found out that those working in the second had been told to remain at their desks. Her friend left her desk regardless, and, though she was still inside the tower when the second aircraft hit, she was now below the impact zone and thereby survived.
In terms of commemoration, I'd like to suggest, timidly, that one of the greatest tragedies of the day is not the tragedy of opposition - the battle between A vs B, whatever you label A or B, whichever side you take. Given subsequent conflict, right or wrong, that is how this event is often framed by the media. Rather I see it as a tragedy of those who have a side, and those who don't even know there was a battle. However the perpetrators are cast - be in political, religious, non-US extremist or US conspirator - clearly their paradigm was built on an underlying assumption of a conflict, which the victims were unaware of. If we disagree and together decide to fight one another, that is one thing. If we disagree, and I accept or am unaware of our differing thoughts, and yet you strike me down regardless, that is another, to my mind, greater tragedy.
I do hope these notes don't trivialise the event or offend anyone. It's just a record of a couple of stories and the musings that flowed from them. It's not meant as anything more. One thing my scanning of these old film prints has reminded me of is the power of a photograph to commemorate meaning over time. Flickr is chiefly a celebration of the present; of the frenetic energy of now and today. Perhaps one aspect of photography it overlooks is the longer term view. It's the difference between seeing the noise of everything, and stripping that noise away to leave the transcendent moment alone. Both interesting angles, but the latter inevitably absent from this medium, perhaps.
So that's probably quite enough introspection and philosophical declamation for the next few months. I hope you're all very well and have survived my ramble if you were generous enough to follow it. Have a superb week all.
How far have we really progressed since the inception? Sometimes you just got to ask.
Do view on black if you can.
I am getting feedback that I'm going crazy with colors in my recent uploads. So here's something to compensate :) This was taken on new years eve from the Manhattan Bridge. After some scouting I found this to be the best location to photograph the mighty Brooklyn Bridge with the city at the background. However, it's a little tricky (can get annoying real quickly) since the bridge keeps vibrating due to the heavy traffic (resulting in blurry pictures). I took about 5 shots before getting one that's reasonable sharp. Do let me know how you like it!
After a couple of weeks with enormous amounts of snow it finally got a bit warmer the last couple of days and it started raining. Don't get me wrong, I love snow, but those amounts were just too much.

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of reaching out
and reaching in.. holding out holding in
I believe yhis is heaven to no one else but me
And I’ll defend it as long as I can be

Another picture of a strange looking tree. This one was taken in Boston on a night of (almost) full moon. I like how the lights at the bottom form a rough parabola. There was so much light pollution that the sky did appear to have a hue of pink (no special color has been added to the sky)!
Welcome to Alyki lagoon series.
Happy new year!
This part of series is shot in the aquatic settlement of Alyki which
is situated on the eastern part of Samos island close to the Asia Minor coastline.
In Alyki, the inhabitants of Samos used to get the best salt production in Greece.
That stopped happening in the year of 1965.
Today, the settlement of Alyki is of great ecological significance,
part of the program «Natura 2000», as well as the «Special Protection Areas-SPA» program.
Here, the visitor can see various species of animals,
such as hedgehogs, ferrets, river-turtles, lizards etc.
Additionally, there have been recorded more than 127 bird species,like Flamingos e.t.c.
So if you are a nature lover, do not miss visiting the area of unique beauty.

Yeah, things didn't always go very smoothly during the project last year. In situations like this one, if I could get just one frame with Suki giving me a good "look," I'd consider myself fortunate!
I'm pretty surprised at all the entries for my Print Giveaway so far! You Suki fans are awesome!

If you followed my stream you will recognize this scene from another shot I uploaded a few weeks ago. Usually I don't shoot any scene twice but this time I thought it would be interesting to capture the photo with some evening mood.

En ce moment le Lac Saint André est totalement gelé… Cela fait quelques matins que j’en profite pour aller photographier des levers de soleil. Hier les nuages étaient au rendez-vous et mes espoirs de pouvoir immortaliser les reflets des rayons du soleil sur la surface gelée du lac se sont un peu envolés…
Cette photo est un vertorama HDR réalisé à partir de 2x3 clichés (-2;0;+2) avec Photomatix 4.

Last dawn of 2010 was cold and foggy. Still, I liked standing over Prague and watched the awake of a new day.
Poslední rozbřesk roku 2010 byl mrazivý a zamlžený. Přesto jsem rád stál nad Prahou a sledoval jak se probouzí do nového dne.
Welcome to my first upload in 2011. I hopy the new year started well for everyone of you.
Concerning the photo: On our Lake District tour we were heading to Tarn Hows in the morning and came across some beautiful misty landscapes where I took this photograph. These scenes with heavy morning sun and aditional fog are really hard to capture (imo). The OOC picture looks like crap and it took me hours (seriously) to process it to what it's now. And I'm still not happy with it... anyway I'm going to show it...
Better to see it in large so press "L" =)
PS: my last upload is my new buddy icon... yay!

Este primer amanecer del 2011 quiero desearos que además de Felicidad y salud, también os deseo libertad al igual que las gaviotas que están revoloteando a sus anchas, que podáis ser libres en vuestras decisiones, en vuestros pensamientos y en vuestras acciones.
Feliz 2011 amig@s que sigamos aquí disfrutando de este hobby que tanto nos gusta y por el cual hemos hecho grandes amistades.
Un muy fuerte abrazo

Up to 1816, the year the Ha'penny Bridge was erected, no other bridge existed between Essex (Grattan or Capel Street) Bridge and Carlisle (O'Connell) Bridge.
There was a ferry from the Bagnio Slip (at the bottom of Fownes Street) operated by one William Walsh. He owned seven leaky ferries and was under pressure from Dublin Corporation to repair them or replace them. He baulked at that idea, preferring instead to build a bridge. His proposal to Dublin Corporation was adopted and he was allowed in a hundred year lease to charge a halfpenny toll.
Designed by John Windsor and costing £3,894.7s.11½d., the bridge was manufactured in Coalbrookdale in Shropshire, the first centre of iron casting in Britain. Now one of the oldest cast-iron bridges in the world it was originally named Wellington Bridge, after the Dublin born duke who had trounced Napoleon. Offically called the Liffey Bridge, it is more commonly known as the Halfpenny or Ha'penny Bridge.
The bridge was the only pedestrian bridge on the Liffey until the new Millenium bridge opened in 2000. In 2001, the Ha'penny bridge was closed in 2001 for major repair. It was reopened 2003 with its original paint colour restored and changes made at the ends to allow standing room for pedestrians before crossing the road.
For everything there is a beginning and an end, there is an A and there is a Z, there is Alfa and Omega.
This symbolizes so many things for me now. It closes the cycle of 365 images.
Started out as a impulsive ADHD maxie project with a "what the hell, let's give it a try" kinda feel to it and see what I could come up with,
to make 365 photos and keep it interesting combined with my poetry and my sick sense of humor :)
During the project I've started to notice that it was also a very personal journey for me to wake up and shake some old demons off, and as you may know old demons made me sick.
Losing control over one side of your body isn't funny, losing the ability to speak properly isn't funny. months of insecurities and tests wasn't funny...oh don't get me wrong I am doing so much better and working my way back :).
So as you may know it took me a lot more than a year to finish this 365..but all things that happened never made me quit..and my girl never made me quit.
I cannot imagine what I would have done without her, with this project, helping me getting dressed, driving me to the hospital and so much more. I love you Liesje!!
And for you sweet guys and sweet girls, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful support and concern and even sweet presents during this 365 rollercoaster and my sickness, it really sometimes brought me to tears.
I always thought that Internet friendships were a lot of blabla..but now I know there can be real warm connections and I cherish them allot.
And some people that are with me from the beginning have a special place in my heart..
*M-C1*: I so respect your work all over the years Lisa and to do what you do..I can't do..You’re the Flickr queen bee!! Thank you for being such a big sweet and funny friend!! I hope we will get to meet someday and please stay in touch, love ya! xoxox

“... Hoje, parei rodeio
na fazenda da vida!...
Apartei um bom lote de alegrias
pra o saladeiro duma despedida...
Recorri a invernada do presente,
- onde inda existe o refugo do passado -
tinha gado gordo,
gado magro,
e algum terneiro pesteado...
O campo da estância está apertado!
O pingo do meu pensamento
está delgado e fogoso,
mas não pude conseguir meu intento...
Levei quase todo o dia,
e não fiz passar a pandilha das saudades
para a invernada do esquecimento.
É teimosa essa pandilha!
Ficou bufindo, com a égua-madrinha da tristeza,
no alto da coxilha...
Não gosto destas teimosias.
Dei de rédea e voltei tranqueando,
e vi que todo meu esforço foi em vão...
e trotei...
repontando a tropilha dos meus dias
rumo à mangueira donde todos vão ... “
“Campereada”, de Vargas Neto

Been going through my favorites over the last day or two. There are so many great photographs out there. Many faves are from those of you who regularly comment on my post which is much appreciated, as I really respect and admire your work. As a final post of 2010 I thought that I would add your photos to one of mine that I took recently in East Village, New York. It's a pastiche of the Led Zeppelin cover Physical Graffiti, but I added some of my flickr heros in the windows.
What would be cool is if those of you that I have featured would add a note to your image and hence feed back to your stream. I am sorry to those of you that I have not featured, I only had room for 16 images.
Wishing all a Happy & Prosperous New Year

A shot from a couple of months back from a vist to Blackpool and its busy beach, in view is the Blackpool tower, the 518 ft structure built 1894, inspired by the Paris Eiffel Tower, the central pier with attractions including the Ferris wheel, the coast wall with its curves and steps and the golden mile of lights that will have been lit later in the day as the key attraction, the Blackpool illuminations. It was a nice day and we had a lucky sky as shown.
Hope you are enjoying your festive season!

Existen personas en nuestras vidas que nos hacen felices por la simple casualidad de haberse cruzado en nuestro camino. Tal vez cada hoja de un árbol caracteriza uno de nuestros amigos. Los primeros que nacen del brote son nuestros padres que nos muestran lo que es la vida. Después vienen los amigos hermanos, con quienes dividimos nuestro espacio para que puedan florecer como nosotros.
Más el destino nos presenta también a otros amigos, que vienen del exterior.
El tiempo pasa, el verano se va, el otoño se aproxima y perdemos algunas de nuestras hojas, unas nacen en otras primaveras y otras permanecen por muchas estaciones.
Pero nos damos cuenta que aquellas que cayeron continúan cerca, alimentando nuestra raíz con alegría.
Te deseo hoja de mi árbol: paz, amor, salud, suerte y prosperidad hoy y siempre... simplemente porque cada persona que pasa por nuestros días es única. Siempre deja un poco de sí y se lleva un poco de nosotros. Esta es la mayor responsabilidad de nuestra vida y la prueba evidente de que dos almas no se encuentran por casualidad.
