"letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. if, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free"
-Thich Nhat Hanh
that was an excerpt from a book called The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching i've been reading. finish the first Hunger Games but hasn't had time to start on the second one yet. i am still clinging on to my goal of not tending to any media an hour before bed time (eg., tv, computer.) it's been working out really great! with all the events that i been going through this past week today was a much needed relaxation.
courage is the power of letting go of the familiar...

"Awake"
South Korea
Went to Seoul for vacation last December, we stay at a Seoul Backpacker Hostel, it was a convenience location, near to subway, lot of eating place, most important, it was 2 steps away from Namdaemun Market (is the biggest traditional market in Korea selling children's clothing, men & women's clothing, ... -- my wife love it!)
Along the way out from the hostel, it was a narrow street, passing by some 3 stories houses, cables connecting from building to building, electric poses every way...

Tom Otterness (b. 1952 in Wichita, Kansas) is an American sculptor whose works adorn parks in New York---
most notably in Rockefeller Park in Battery Park City and in the 14th Street/8th Avenue subway station---and other cities around the world. His style is very cartoonish and cheerful, and the forms of his sculptures often consist of many blobs and pipes, giving them a humorous look. These sculptures depict, among other things, huge pennies, pudgy characters in business suits with moneybag heads, helmeted workers holding giant tools, and crocodiles crawling out from under sewer covers. The main theme of his work seems to be the struggle of the little man against the Capitalist machine in a difficult and strange city.
As primarily a public artist, Otterness' has shown popular exhibitions in locations across the United States, including New York City, Indianapolis, and Beverly Hills. His studio is located in the DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn.
His most recent exhibition of public sculpture in Grand Rapids, Michigan is his largest to date, featuring more than 40 works across two miles of the city's downtown area and at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.
Otterness is best known to New Yorkers for his "Life Underground" series of sculptures, which are primarily located in the 14th St/8th Avenue subway station, which was commissioned in 2000 and fully installed by 2002.
Journalist Gary Indiana criticized Otterness for an independent work done while part of the East Village art scene in the mid-eighties called "Shot Dog Piece", in which Otterness allegedly "adopted a dog and then shot it to death for the fun of recording his infantile, sadistic depravity on film." When student Matthew Goad, a candidate for student government president at Wichita State University, learned of this act, Wichita State began questioning a USD$450,000 commission, which would cost an additional USD$150,000 for shipping, however, at present it looks as if the project continued may as planned. Otterness commented that "In 1977, I was a young artist having a very rough time. I had anger at myself and at the world. What I did was symbolic of how I was feeling internally and it is something I would never do today.

"...Oh-... Oh go-... Where the hell am I?!" Flash yells in confusion. "Welcome, child." Zoom says to welcome Barry. "Oh... You are 'Zoom', I presume?" Barry asks. "Yes indeed, child. Now. Untie him, you two." Zoom demands. "Yes, boss." Heatwave replies. "On it." King Shark adds on. "Now... Fight."

Nightride. can't remember where I first saw it but the following advice is always useful when out in the woods at night.
The key thing to remember when hearing those strange noises or eyes reflected in the beam is that is nothing there which isn't around during the day as well.
Just now its awake and hungry.
Goal:
Album artwork
Direction:
This is an instrumental EP of music meant to be used to create a worshipful atmosphere during personal Bible study and prayer time. We wanted a graphic that felt gentle, personal and ethereal to accompany the instrumental music.
It’s one of the amazing, calm moments early in the morning, when the nature awakes and pushes away the foggy sleepiness of the quiet night.
Captured in the back yard of my home, Quebec, Canada, July 2013.
Camera Nikon D600, f/9, 1/125 sec, ISO-160, focal lenght 28 mm, lens AF-S Nikkor 28-300 mm.
So much for the "wake the kids at the last minute and put them in the car still mostly asleep" plan.
And it's not because he got lots of sleep. He went to bed at 10pm.
shake dreams from your hair my pretty child my sweet one choose the day and choose the sign of your day the day's divinity first thing you see a vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon couples naked race down by it's quiet side and we laugh like soft mad children smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy the music and voices are all around us choose they croon the Ancient Ones the time has come again choose now they croon beneath the moon beside an ancient lake enter again the sweet forest enter the hot dream come with us everything is broken up and dances
Godiva Awakes passes through Towcester - very quickly, so I could only get three shots!
She was also at least an hour late - I'd just missed seeing her in Northampton the day before, so was very pleased when I heard she would be passing through. Having been told that she was due to arrive at 11am, I thought it best not to leave my desk but to run downstairs when she arrived - but I opened the double glazing and sash window just in case.
It was just as well, because I was on the phone when I saw the beginning of the procession arrive so just had time to climb into the bay window (camera set up in preparation) and shoot out of the open sash!
