Awake Enough was the title of a recent blog post by David duChemin, one of my favorite modern photography writers. Within his writings he states: "study your craft, then let it get out of the way." I've spent a good bit of time this autumn worrying about whether I'm good enough; wondering why some days it comes so easily and others it's such a struggle. I've missed far more than I've captured this autumn season--seen more epic light from the car than from behind the camera. I've reviewed images that I wished were better composed, exposed, sharper. Then I was reminded by duChemin's blog post: "It's not about being good enough--though craft matters, it's too late in the moment to do much about our shortcomings--it's about being alive enough." I'm going to try to be alive in the moment when I'm out there, and let the rest lie wherever it may.

This one tosses all of the photographic rules/guidelines right out of the window! The sun sets over autumn-tinted mountain layers as seen from Cowee Mountain Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina. I shot this image while visiting North Carolina to help fellow photographer, Dave Allen, with his autumn mountain colors workshop this past weekend. Fantastic group of individuals and wonderful weather conditions along the Blue Ridge Parkway made for a very enjoyable weekend--thanks to Dave and the participants for letting me tag along on the adventure!

Another from the 17-day-old newborn session I shot in Austin this weekend. She was such a doll -- once her belly was full she just chillaxed the entire session. Even better, her parents' house was a photographer's dream -- two adjoining walls of big windows. Good times.

Another shot of Mr. Whoo. One of the resident owls at the Blandford nature Center in Grand Rapids Michigan. He wasn't too happy about being placed on a perch for a group of photographers. This owl was in a tree that was cut down and he was severely injured. He was brought to the Blandford nature center for treatment, but was never able to recover enough to be released back into the wild.

I've been having trouble falling asleep at night because of the sick feeling you give me inside my stomach.

...I'm wide awake

Not losing any sleep

Picked up every piece

And landed on my feet

I'm wide awake

Need nothing to complete myself - nooohooo

I'm wide awake

Yeah, I am born again

Outta the lion's den

I don't have to pretend

And it's too late

The story's over now, the end

I wish I knew then

What I know now

Wouldn't dive in

Wouldn't bow down

Gravity hurts

You made it so sweet

Till I woke up on

On the concrete

Falling from cloud 9

Crashing from the high

I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting go)

I'm Falling from cloud 9

Thunder rumbling

Castles crumbling

I am trying to hold on

God knows that I tried

Seeing the bright side

But I'm not blind anymore...

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake...

My camera is back! I took it out as soon as possible.

On another awesome note, summer is here! Our spring was short lived, but I'm not one to complain about warm weather! :-)

Have a good weekend!

Canary Wharf London.

A bit of a maze trying to find this spot. It look's straight forward looking from the opposite side. But it is a puzzle of alleyways housing estates and board walks. I am glad I persevered as I like this POV of the Wharf from this side. My thanks to Glenn driver for helping me find it.

The bad weather continues to persist in Cornwall, it seams to be one storm front after the other. We have our gallery in St Mawes sand bagged up, so far we have kept the water out, keeping our fingers crossed. Not every one has been so lucky, the hotel is only a hundred feet from us, it has had the windows blown in and three foot of sea water flooding the ground flore, it has had a resent six million pound refit only finishing at Christmas, now it has to start all over again.

Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake.

~Henry David Thoreau~

Before her sleep, she lies awake

With wonder and angelic thought

So much to learn in one lifetime

Hand in hand well walk for hours

Sunrise at the beach in Florida

Awake from a sleep that could have been endless, there she is. Violette.

I could have said the same of me and here I am. BACK.

After such a long time, I hope there will still be people to look at my new photos… Well, I’ll do my best anyway and I thank everyone who’ll be there to read this! And I give a special thank to betapersei.j who awakened me with her beautiful photos ♥

~

Eveillée d'un sommeil qui aurait pu être éternel, la voilà. Violette.

J'aurais pu dire la même chose de moi et me voilà. Je suis de RETOUR.

Après un si log départ, j'espère qu'il y aura toujours des gens pour venir voir mes photos... Bon, quoi qu'il en soit je ferai de mon mieux et je remercie tout ceux qui me liront! Je remercie tout particulièrement betapersei.j qui m'a réveillée avec ses magnifiques photos ♥

Wide awake and flashing fur...

-----

If I could through myself

Set your spirit free

I'd lead your heart away

See you break, break away

Into the light

And to the day

To let it go

And so to fade away

I'm wide awake

I'm not sleeping"

Naive Awake

"you live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. the symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. the second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. that is all. it appears like an innocuous illness. monotony, boredom, death. millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. they work in offices. they drive a car. they picnic with their families. they raise children. and then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. some never awaken."

- anaïs nin, the diary of anaïs nin, vol. 1: 1931-1934

Oh Im tired this evening...... enjoyed a 50th birthday party a little bit too much last night and now paying the price! It did help me forget all about my pants week at work though. Gonna be a beautiful day tomorrow, apparently :)

I dont think this shot looks as sharp as it does before uploading.... anyone have the same problem or know if there's a setting that I should change?

Click here to find out where's this title from.

It's true... I've joined the Dark* side.

Yes, I have a digital camera now. It's mainly for use a wedding/portrait backup camera, especially where flash is needed. But I think... maybe I'll toy with it a bit. I've got ideas, you see. I am just working on how to execute them properly.

This was taken several nights ago, from the summit of Wind Mountain, and is a two-stitch pano.

*= This is not to say that I think digital any greater or lesser than film. But as someone who has loved and worshiped film for the past five years, it is a shocking change to the system.

Love the delicate symmetry of ornamental grasses set against the quiet Winter light. The gardens are still at this time of the year but awake, always, as the sunlight hours begin to lengthen. :)
