Composite Image. Background was traffic in downtown Bangkok using a 70-200/2.8 and subject was shot in studio on white seamless in my basement in Toronto.
Subject was lit with an SB 800 to the right shot through an umbrella. Another SB 800 lit the backdrop.
Walking the streets of downtown Havana at night, there is plenty to see. A Dalmatian looks up to see if there's a snack coming his way.

About three weeks ago my wife and daughter caught sight of a little creature on the road and being that both will never walk away from anyone or anything in need of help she had to turn around to see what kind of a creature was stuck in the middle of the road. She turned around and saw this little kitten stuck in the center of the middle of the three lanes of this very busy highway while cars passed over him. She thought the little kitten could not move because it was stuck in shock of the cars coming at him. So she stopped traffic and scooped the little guy off the road and put him into the car. She immediately took him to the vet and had him checked out with a full exam and x-rays. Sadly she was told that the little guy had a broken hip, a detached tail, and a completely broken right leg. She was told that there was no hope for the little guy and she should put him down. Being that she is a nurse and my daughter is a nursing student they could not do that. So they brought him back home and nursed and cleaned him for the next three days. The little guy definitely was making great recovery and was starting to play and even walk on three legs. We called him Smooshy since he almost got smooshed into the street. However, unfortunately the little guy could not urinate and so we took him back to the vet who basically drained his bladder with a needle and told my wife to put him down again. We were still not ready for that. As she always says that God gives the challenge to those who he thinks are best suited for it, she was chosen to care for this kitten. Unfortunately 2 weeks later, five different vets, and over one thousand dollars in vet bills, we were given no hope of saving the little sweet kitten we called Smooshy that came into our life. By then we had all fallen in love with the kitten. My daughter who had been cleaning and feeding him for most of the time, volunteered to hold him in a warm blanket as the vet put the little guy down. My daughter cried a river as she held him for the last time but could not send him to the back room to be put down alone on a steel medical table.
So for the next week every sighting of anything associated with Smooshy became an instant reminder of the little guy and caused my wife and daughter to cry time and again. While we have already saved three cats and definitely did not want another cat unless Smooshy was going to make it, I needed something to take their mind away from the little guy. So we went ahead and purchased another kitten that was the same breed and had the same exact markings so that we did not mess Smooshy so much. We were so happy to have had the opportunity to care for the little guy for the last two weeks of his life and gave him all the comfort and love that we possibly could. We would have loved to have him as part of our little cat family but unfortunately it was not meant to be. But we do have Bear, who is a brat, added to the family and hope he has a long happy life with us.
Not actually anything to do with a safari but this sunset in North Yorkshire gives me massive African Safari vibes.

We are now 7 weeks to winter. 1,900 people are living outside. That's probably a low count, because people living outside don't want to be counted.

Anything can happen. You know how Jupiter
Will mostly wait for clouds to gather head
Before he hurls the lightning? Well, just now
He galloped his thunder cart and his horses
Across a clear blue sky. It shook the earth
And the clogged underearth, the River Styx,
The winding streams, the Atlantic shore itself.
Anything can happen, the tallest towers
Be overturned, those in high places daunted,
Those overlooked regarded. Stropped-beak Fortune
Swoops, making the air gasp, tearing the crest off one,
Setting it down bleeding on the next.
Ground gives. The heaven’s weight
Lifts up off Atlas like a kettle-lid.
Capstones shift, nothing resettles right.
Telluric ash and fire-spores boil away.
Seamus Heaney, 1939-2013
Make a wish and place it in your heart.
Anything you want, everything you want.
Do you have it? Good.
Now believe it can come true.
You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true.
But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it.
You just might get the thing you're wishing for.
The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it.
So make your wish.
Do you have it?
Good.
Now believe in it. With all your heart.
i wont tell you what i wished for.. :)

Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's called Devils Postpile National Monument - located near Mammoth Mountain in California. These unique and natural columns were formed roughly 100,000 years ago: thanks to volcanoes and lava flows.
Also interesting is that the Postpile was once a part of Yosemite National Park - but the discovery of gold in 1905 near Mammoth Lakes prompted a boundary change that left the formation on adjacent public land.

Porsche is definitely one of my favorite cars. Would love to own and drive one. I'm dreaming again.
For TOTW: Movie Lines….
Joel: I can't see anything that I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.
Joel: Okay.
Clementine: [pauses] Okay.

I fucking love this movie. I swear I will sit there and watch it alone with myself and constantly go over in my mind all my past loves which are no longer there. Although I don’t identify their particular relationship with any that I have had – I still feel.
The movie is about a couple that fell deeply in love. And after they broke up, one of them decided to have a medical procedure done to ERASE her entire memory of their whole love affair to avoid the torment and anguish that goes on after you break up with someone you love.
But it’s perfectly executed… the movie I mean – at least for me. One of the most perfect movies ever put in front of my eyes. The whole concept is brilliant. The dreams and ideas disappearing right before you is just gleaming – almost makes you want to cry and smile at the same time.
Have you ever been part of such a breakup? I know I have – and they are fucking demanding to say the least. Would you erase the entire memory of the whole fucking ordeal just to avoid the pain and emotional suffering you would go through once it had ended?
I can sit here happy and single and free as a bird and say no? I actually wouldn’t change ANYTHING I’ve done nor would I want to erase any memory of it. Every single thing I’ve done, every person I’ve had any dealings with, and every situation I’ve put myself into and out of has shaped me into the person I am today.
I’d deal with it. Time does indeed heal all emotional wounds. Every day things do get a tiny bit better, no matter what the wound is.
It’s funny – although the male character portrayed in this particular movie doesn’t really remind me of myself due to his introvertedness attitude… the female character being so over the top and intensely witty and drama filled girl is someone I would so fucking fall in love with. I so adore this movie and always have.
The photo at hand? Me standing in the underground tunnel separating Oakland from Alameda. You better appreciate this fucker because I illegally hiked down this stupid loud smoggy ass smelly tunnel to take this picture. This is just supposed to be a pedestrian-only walkway for broken down vehicles.

Good morning Cricklewood! What do you think of my Goodies so far? Tim I'm really happy with, he's pretty much done, Graeme is fairly good but finding a face with mutton chops and glasses isn't easy, it seems to be the case that you either get one or the other, not both. Bill is the least convincing; he needs a yellow shirt under a black vest (did Han have one of those?) and his facial hair I'm not sold on. Maybe I'll try the goatee that he had. Any suggestions are most welcome.
