Part of getting through life is accepting, and dealing with, our weaknesses. Which doesn't mean they aren't still a pain in the butt.
Me, I'm over-sensitive to all kinds of sensory input - and input affecting my sensors. For instance, even in August in our constant ocean breezes, I daren't go outside without my ears covered.
This is, of course, a huuuge pain. When everyone else is out in shorts and bathing suits, I'm sweating with a big fleecy band around my head. It sucks, but the alternative (excruciating ear aches) sucks a whole lot worse.
I'm also overly sensitive to noise. And bright light. Especially bright flashing light that hits my eyes unexpectedly. So... imagine how much fun I am as a companion at a rawk show. Normally I take along ear plugs. Last night I forgot.
I guess I was lulled into complacency by the fact that the show was at a theatre. A play house. A place I last attended in my teens, when I saw some Shakespearean production there. So yeah... I went in plugless. And immediately regretted it. Still... I was up for enjoying myself... until the %$(*&$%(&ing light show started.
I can't imagine whose idea it was to flash big spotlights directly into the audience's eyes repeatedly throughout the night. Probably the same wise person who decided a super-bright sign behind the band... illuminated by 10,000 1,000 watt bulbs... was also a very good thing to flash repeatedly in the audience's eyes.
What really amazed me was that no one else seemed bothered. Whereas I was in several sorts of agony all night.
The bright flashing lights. Fuck, man. I thought I was gonna have a seizure or something. I ended up spending most of the night doubled over with my head in my lap, eyes closed, hands clamped over my face. Every time I tried to enjoy actually watching the band... zappo! Unexpected blasts of super-bright white light set off pinball explosions in my brain.
So today is pretty much a write-off. Migraine city, man.
And I HATE HATE HATE that my body is so delicate.
I'm from sturdy peasant stock. Why am I so fragile? Why do things that normal people take in stride disable me?
Sorry for the whining self-pity. Kee-rist. At least I know, without a doubt, that I am now too old for rawk shows. Goodbye youth. Your time has come and gone. From now on I'll just satisfy myself by listening to records at home.

Hi everyone... I want to give your wonderful guys and gals an update... although I still struggle with chronic pain on a daily basis, some days are better than others. I still cannot shoot like I was used to... stooping, bending over, sitting on the ground, etc as is necessary to shoot macro, still isn't possible for me. For now, I must be content to (re)edit and (re)publish shots in my archives.
If you are in a position to help, I have setup an account to accept donations, even as little as the price of a coffee. Anything would be greatly appreciated. See my "About" page on Flickr for the link. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

I feel honoured to accept this valued prize and I would like to thank absolutely no-one as it is for my initiative and hard work. No-one else's - MINE!
I don't believe in long acceptance speeches. ;-)
My friend and I discovered that I hadn't done many images transposing myself onto a pre-existing background via greenscreen -- I tend to make my own background, or shoot the existing one. So, she challenged me with a base image. This is what I came up with.

Today's special guest is a dear friend of mine and a great SL artist.
Her flickr is like a journey into a tender nocturnal world full of interesting characters who deeply capture you with their stories.
Ladies and gentlemen it's a big pleasure to introduce you to the amazing, the awesome Ms. Rose Oswin Oswald !
Cla: Hi Rose! It's a pleasure to have you here and thank you so much for accepting this interview!
Rose: You're too kind! Thank you for having me on your Not So Late Show. This is such a fun and interesting series.
C.: I'd like to know better about your SL. When and how did it begin?
R.: My SL journey had multiple beginnings, the first time was in 2008 when a friend I played MMO games with told me about Second Life, and how it was a virtual world with user-generated content. He thought I would like to try it because I loved making characters and decorating in games that we played. I'll admit the idea intrigued me but after trying it I found I didn't have the time or the money to invest in SL. It wasn't like the games that you could quest to get in game money, and of course as you know SL isn't really a game, it's a social platform where you can create worlds or visit places created by other people. I did come back 5 years later and decided to stay.
C.: What is SL for you, today? How did it change over the years?
R.: SL has always been a place where I can create. The thing I love the most about SL is that it's given me a creative outlet where I can build worlds, characters and tell stories through my photos. It's also therapeutic, if my mind is racing and I can't focus, I can log into SL and decorate and before I even realize it I'm feeling relaxed and calm. Years ago, I joined because I was looking for a place to meet people, I've never found it easy to meet them in real. I used to be very shy, and had very little self confidence. I met a lot of people, though just as they do in real, many of them moved on or left SL. For a few years I never spoke to anyone, then I joined flickr and met a lot of nice people and have become friends with some of them.
C.: If you could give some advices to someone who is new to this little magical world, what would you suggest?
R.: When you first log into SL it can be a bit daunting, you can find a lot of helpful information on their website and there are many videos you can watch but as you said this is a magical world, the magic really happens after you decide what your SL life will be. Some might say you're limited by your own imagination, but Second Life is filled with the imaginings of millions of people, you can find inspiration in places such as flickr.
C.: Let's talk about your SL photography. Your photos always tell a story and in those stories we can find many several characters. Do they represent different aspects of yourself? Would you like to let us know more about some of them characters and which are your favorites?
R.: Many of my characters represent myself though there are a few characters from shows or movies I might be watching. I love creating a new character and their stories, though it's not always obvious what that story is, because I often just do a photo with a title. I have written a few stories but I love when people comment on what they think the photo is about and who the characters are. I have two favorite characters, one is Rosie Mouse and the other is Rosey the Snail. I have so much fun being a snail, and the way the avatar moves, bobbing its head from side to side as I walk around makes me laugh so much. They represent the silly, never want to group up side of me and those that are of couples, human or a fantasy creature represent my real relationship.
C.: The night is another element that is often in your photos. What's your relation with the night?
R.: I've always loved the night and shadows. Nighttime is often a very quiet time as well, and I can think so much clearer in the darkness of the night. I like to take darker photos in Second Life because I use light projectors, with them you can see material layers better, and shadows create depth.
C.: If you had to illustrate a popular song in one picture, which one would you pick and why?
R.: I'm not really sure, I don't really listen to a lot of music these days, though music is a component of my photos and stories. I usually create the photo first and then find a song to fit the theme.
C.: Do you have a favorite photo among all the ones on your Flickr?
R.: I actually have 2 favorite photos, one is the photo I use for my flickr banner called *The Dance* www.flickr.com/photos/clararose/50265208668/ . That photo was one of those that just sort of happened, I didn't plan it out or have a story to go with it, and I couldn't believe it came out so well. The other one is another dance photo called *Somebody Make Me Feel Alive and Shatter Me* www.flickr.com/photos/clararose/51219165881/ . I took that photo at a time when I was deeply depressed and felt so numb. I remember listening to the song over and over and I logged into SL got dressed in this gorgeous ballet outfit, found what I felt was the perfect pose then took the photo. It was also one of those rare occasions when Depth of Field actually worked, and I didn't crash. Both photos feature songs from Lindsey Stirling, her music and videos have been a great source of inspiration for me.
C.: As usual, I like to end my interviews inviting my guests to ask themselves a question and give themselves an answers. Would you like to?
R.: Do you regret not trying a demo before you bought that outfit? YES! Always try a demo when you can!
Thank you kindly, dear Rose, for opening the doors of your SL world and your SL photography to us, letting us know more about yourself through your deep, interesting and so wise thoughts!

The 16th century Palace of Kapviri Djewe at Iconi on southwestern Grande Comore, was once the seat of the Sultans of Bambao.
Only the old walls made out of local stones are left.
In 1886, Sultan Said Ali bin Said Omar of Anjouan united the sultanates of Grand Comore into the state of Ngazidja.
He was the first and last sultan tibe or paramount king of the whole island of Ngazidja (Grande Comore).
And he was the last Sultan using this palace (till 1892 and he died on Madagascar in 1916).

Terrasson-Lavilledieu
L'octroi de Terrasson
Véritable système de douane locale, l'octroi fut une structure particulièrement importante pour les revenus communaux. Il servait notamment à financer l'entretien des fortifications et les travaux d'utilité publique.
Le terme "octroi" vient du verbe octroyer qui signifie accorder: la ville octroie l'entrée des marchandises en échange d'une taxe. Ces taxes, toujours mal acceptées furent supprimées définitivement à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale. Ce bureau d'octroi servit par la suite de balance officielle à la commune. Elle permettait aux éleveurs et aux agriculteurs de peser et d'officialiser le poids de leur marchandise avant la vente.
Situé près du vieux pont, le local ainsi que son équipement de pesée ont été remis au goût du jour il y a peu.
The Grant of Terrasson
A true local customs system, the appropriation was a particularly important structure for municipal revenues. It was used in particular to finance the maintenance of fortifications and public utility works.
The term "grant" comes from the verb grant which means to grant: the city grants the entry of goods in exchange for a tax. These taxes, always poorly accepted, were definitively abolished at the end of the Second World War. This granting office subsequently served as the municipality's official balance sheet. It allowed breeders and farmers to weigh and formalize the weight of their merchandise before sale.
Located near the old bridge, the premises and its weighing equipment were recently brought up to date.
Un grand merci pour vos favoris, commentaires et encouragements toujours très appréciés.
Many thanks for your much appreciated favorites and comments.
Polly & Maggie agreement...

was walking by and saw Ashlie up where Abbie always used to sleep before she died. She looked so much like her up there (accept for the little birthmark on her nose) that it took me back for a minute ... aarrgghhh ...
Encounter, part 2. This is the same cinnamon Black Bear seen in yesterday's post. Its body language is very different. It takes a worried bear to give me a look like that. Interesting comparison, I think.
After I'd been working with it alone for 15 minutes or so and this bear had accepted me as non-threatening, along came a couple of tourists in their car. There was a slight bend in the road behind me, where my car was, about 50 feet away and slightly to the right. Instead of pulling up directly behind me, they stopped 75 feet short, triangulating the bear. Behind the bear was a mountain wall.
Its stress level went straight up. Ears back, fear in its eyes. I began talking to it in a soft voice and slowly backing up, trying not to trip over roots and branches, while it considered possible options. And all ended well, as I was able to give it a clear escape path, which it took.
Then I walked over and had a little talk with the tourists. I was calm. You can't teach people by yelling at them. I told them they had created a dangerous situation for me, and why: "You effectively surrounded the bear, and that put me at risk."
Of course, I knew from the start this might happen. I had my own escape route in mind all along. After a few minutes with this bear, I was pretty sure we could read each other and no one would get his nose out of joint. But tourists always increase the danger level, because "reading" wildlife is a foreign concept to them and they unwittingly do dumb things. I'd much rather photograph bears in the back country.

"We accept the love we think we deserve."
–Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
The first of my quite-parred-down-from-last-year Valentines offerings.
I knew I was looking through my macro lens at a very pretty butterfly, but when I got around to processing I could hardly believe the spectacular colour patterns on the underside of its wings.
That tiny strip of out-of-focus material at the bottom bothers me; I wish I could have avoided it somehow, or at least the small portion that rises up at the centre. It's a small thing, yes, but I'm a perfectionist. And I understand that there is no such thing as perfection. We live with our contradictions. I enjoy the challenge of trying to come away with the photo I envision - exactly, no compromises. It happens so rarely...
Lying flat in the muck near a side branch of the river, I couldn't do much to change the angle of view because I didn't want to scare the butterfly away. I love the look of this little critter anyway. And I enjoyed the process - trying to put it all together in the field - as much as creating the final result. Probably more.
I did put more effort into photographing butterflies this past summer than I have for several years, and have to say I have a greater appreciation for photographers who create excellent, flawless images of them. It takes hard work and dedication. Somehow I was reminded of my first published photos, in photo magazines back in the 1970s. I think my first three submissions were accepted. I thought I was hot stuff. Then I received about ten rejections in a row, and came back down to earth. With this photo, I came to earth - literally and figuratively. More butterflies to follow as I round out the current insect series before moving on to something else.

Todays (12th Aug 2007) walk through the Botanic Garden in Linz (Upper Austria) gave me the opportunity to move to something completely different after all those stage shootings I did recently.
