my SIL and daughter have been giving a home to a relative with an addiction problem.
this weekend he had another melt-down and my SIL had to call the police to have him removed from the premises.
it was very hard for both he and jordan. john had just coded a car accident victim in the ER and was called home to handle this other problem.
we went over to give support.
tami, who was supposed to work night shift sat night, was over the hill. my granddaughter and her finance had driven over to the heat and almost made it when their car blew up. they were sitting in 104F temps and they were almost out of water. tami went over to get them. and stayed.
times have been hard for the family, all of us. we are all feeling stressed, even the 8 dogs involved.
and so it goes.
Dont waste your money ! It was my other halfs mothers card, I checked it for her. Gambling is sh.t dont bother with it, causes no end of problems.
My Realpuki addiction....
Well at least I don't smoke and don't drink....
If there will be more Realpukis they don't fit in one picture LOL!!
on my wishlist:
- white skin Aki
- White skin Ara
- tan skin Toki (hope Fairyland will make tan Realpukis in future again).
And please no more new molds! I won't be able to resist ;-)
Out on the streets because of his addiction. Family gone, health gone, job gone, home gone, money gone...
The cold, the pain, the loneliness, the withdrawals... It will all go away for a while if he finds just one more hit.
In an alleyway, in an overflowing rubbish bin, something catches his eye...
Just one more... To make everything feel better again... After this one, he will give up. But for now, just one more...
Nobody is perfect...
In this era of escapism, whats your hit?

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
As photographers we always self edit and ensure that the very best of our work gets published ahead of anything else, sometimes we self edit harshly and at other times, perhaps, not harshly enough.
My back catalogue of unpublished street shots is enormous and, looking back through them retrospectively, quite a few of them really are not too bad at all. Some were perhaps overlooked, forgotten or even just skipped for something slightly better at the time. I though I might publish some of these older shots for a 'Flashback Friday' album, I hope you don't mind. This shot is from last year (2017), in May.
I just love the expression on this young woman's face, it looks to me like she is not enjoying one or both of these modern addictions. Wishing you all a smashing weekend of photography my friends!
Mr. G introduced me to www.poladroid.net/
so I am playing around and detouring from my nature shots...
Gotta entertain myself
:)
Have a good weekend!
This is a self portrait that I have been thinking on doing for a long time. Finally I found some time and a great idea for a photo that shows how addictions pull you away from studying and doing productive work.
This is a part of my AP Studio Art Concentration and the Concentration is Addictions.
Addiction: Prescription Drugs
Model: Brandon Forest
About the Addiction:
Prescription drugs is an addiction, that you can get almost anywhere. Which recently in the news, has been made more clearer with the deaths of certain famous celebrities. In 2000, 43 percent of those who ended up in hospital emergency rooms from drug overdoses-nearly a half million people-were there because of misusing prescription drugs. Recently the rates of overdosing on prescription drugs higher and higher, mainly because of how easy it to to get them. Then the mixture of certain pills with other plays a huge effect and could lead to serious complications and also death.

Yet another clichéd sunset but I like them. Especially when I can use it as an excuse to go to Blue Bar or another nearby pub!
This was taken from the right hand side of Porth Towan beach.
This may have to be a post and run - will look through my contacts photos as soon as I finish work tommorow though, I enjoy looking through your photostreams! You're all great inspiration. Thank you for all your comments.

You Know You Are Addicted to Photography When...You stop (for just a second) on the way to the hospital to pick up your son from a snowboarding accident, cause man, that is a cool sunset!
I suppose that we (I) shouldn't admit to some things, but in my defense, I didn't take the time to get out my tripod :)
If you would like to cleanse your soul or just make an admittance, please take this opportunity to confess your photography sins here.
Pokémon Go, soda & photography. All very addicitive.

... yo soy un chico muy sano, deportista, no suelo beber y además no fumo, pero tengo una adicción, ... el café!!

You can follow me on FACEBOOK if you want!! ;)
For those who follow my adventure in China for a while, you can see that the mobile phone is, let say, "popular" on my portfolio... people always find time to play with their mobile even when they are supposed to be busy. When I'm in the bus or the metro, I often play the game to count how many people are not playing with their cellphone... the result is always terrific.
I have shot this photo in the old Qingdao. I've went one day to lost myself there by purpose in order to make some pictures. By the way, we are never totally lost, GPS in our friend!!
I have discovered a very narrow alley dedicated to street food. On both side, plenty of small open kitchens. It seems to be a popular spot in town... A perfect place to make some candid street portraits for me.
Almost all the people are waiting clients to come, cooking some food in advance and playing with phone in the same time.
I hope the lady won't forget skewers on the grill before it will get burned... This is China.
Ok, i'm addicted to the sight and sound of waterfalls. This is the eight waterfall shot in my 365. I didn't see there was a duck in the frame until I processed it. Too boot, he stood still for 3". This is the type of shot I like to try on the weekend as I have (usually) more time on my hands.

I was always 'the one' with the camera, but it wasn't until this past fall that I started using my camera as an extra appendage to my body. I know most of you can relate, when a family member says 'Really? You're taking a picture of that____(insert your noun)???' Or you slam on your brakes and pull off the road to take a shot of something that caught your eye. (This was taken in the fall, when I got hit hard with that strong Virus called Flickritis, lol)
My addiction could cost a LOT of money (if I had it) but so can many other addictions, and mine is good for my soul, and doesn't harm me or anyone else. So other than a gym and a healthy, clean eating addiction which I'm trying to work on and develop, this is a good addiction to have, i think.
once and for all. I have been a member of flickr since Jan 07. I have become hopelessly addicted and spend 6- 8 hours on flickr every day....90% of the time viewing and commenting on your pics.
Taking pics and posting has become a chore....trying to make Explore has dominated my thoughts too much. If I don't post pics or make "Explore" it causes me sadness. That's how bad I've become."
Pressure to keep up with commenting on ALL of my contact's pics everyday has left me no time to take pics or enjoy life. My mental and physical health has suffered as a result.
I am telling you all this because I have decided to make an overdue change. I'm not leaving flickr...but I am cutting my contact list down to about 20 instead of 150. I will only comment on ONE pix at your stream per day and will curtail my time on flickr to evenings...or weekends and only after I have taken care of other aspects of my day.
I will only post pics of my pets or wildlife if I think they are really really good. I do NOT expect any of you to coment on them....I will post only to use flickr as a place to keep my pics together and for my few remaining contacts. I hope you all understand. If you could see how neglected my appearance and home has become this year, you'd really understand.
I'm smiling here but I'm not very happy about my addiction and my forced curfew to rectify the problem.
Update: 4/11/11
Well, I haven't reduced my contact list since posting this back in 2008. I'm still posting / commenting on flickr everyday. I have not broken my Flickr addiction or changed my life. Oh well.....I'm sure one of these days I will.
Craig, 42, was with Deshawn when I met him. When asked if he wanted to tell his story he said, "you going to be here a long time. I got a way with words." From Harlem, Craig says he was "born with a silver spoon. I grew up in a strong family. My parents both worked good jobs." He didn't use crack until he was 35. "I had all these issues piling on me. The weight just got to be too much, and one last thing fell on me, small like a feather, but it was just enough to break me." He eventually lost his job and family, unable to quit the drugs. "Thing about crack is you always trying to find an elusive high, you chasing that first time, like a dog going in circles after its tail." Now he stays mostly in Hunts Point, doing whatever he can. "Hunts Point will twist you up like a pretzel. If you can survive this place, you can survive anything, cause it don't get any realer than this."
When I asked him how he wanted to be described, he gave a big smile and said, "smartest dummy you will ever meet."
I post people's stories as they tell them to me. I am not a journalist. I don't try to verify, just listen.
