you can never be too sure if a scene like this will play out to be a good one..or even a great one. on the third day of vacation the sky looked all kinds of promising so I dragged my camera down to the water's edge and waited in anticipation of a great show. as the sun came up it ducked behind a bank of clouds and that was the end of it.. thankfully on this particular morning this beginning had a rather wonderful end to it.

Our hike begins at the top of a high sand embankment. Trodden paths lead down on both North and South sides. It's our first beach hike of the New Year, on a New beach for us. A New Beginning.

I am thinking this is the perfect way to begin a new day...
...and the perfect way to begin the New year.
Think I'll give it a try!
This is #11 in my rebar series.
There was an eerie calmness this evening at the construction site, giving no hint that in the morning it would be crawling with workers building a new tower.
For my friends Patrick (Kansas Poetry) and Nancy on the celebration of their marriage. The happy couple hosted a wonderful reception this evening at the old Lawrence Train Depot. We had a great time helping them mark the beginning of their life of love together.
365/365.
can´t believe i actually made it. i wish i had something really special to say. but i don´t. this project has been just a diary of my life. my ups and downs, my emotions. there´s more in those pictures than anyone could ever think. to be honest, i don´t think i will ever do 365 project again, but at least i tried.
i´ve definitely grown more than i could ever think since the beginning of this project. when i look at the first pictures i don´t even recognize it anymore. so much has changed. and God thought me a lot.
yesterday i was thinking about finishing this project. and i took the time and went through my entire tumblr that only two of my friends from real life have link to. and as i went through it and i realized that if someone looked through the entire blog they would see myself. it´s my heart. everything i needed to vent somehow just for myself. though it´s pictures and quotes and mostly reblogged stuff there´s nothing without a reason behind it. it´s all so real. for some reason i´m sharing it now. as i´m beginning new chapter of my life. i´m not afraid of being real anymore, of being honest and sharing my struggles. it does not define me. Christ does. and i know it now more than ever. my life with Him starts all over again, every single morning. i finally feel like i gave it all to Him. i was made clean. His wounds cover mine. every day is a new beginning of life He offers me.
The end of the beginning of a life together? A bride and groom after a wander around the streets at night. The bride was in full veil and white wedding dress walking towards the old cars dressed with ribbons.

A few of the FFM met up for a late afternoon, evening photoshoot in Melbourne CBD. It was good to see photography friends again.
If you are someone inclined to look at exif data you would notice that after 6 years there is a camera change here. I am not one who needs to keep up with the "latest and greatest". My little D610 has served me well and given me many images that I love. However, my eyesight which has been poor since childhood has taken a nosedive over the last couple of years due to retina complications. I found it harder and harder to focus my manual lenses...especially my favorite old 135mm. Even on auto focus I couldn't really see whether my images were acceptable unless I was tethered to my computer and that was rare since I only do a little studio shooting.
For many months I deliberated over whether I could justify the expense...and which Nikon to go for. The D850 images had crazy awesome megapixel stats...but it is heavy and pricey. Then Nikon ran a sale on the D780 and I bit. I am so glad I made the leap...I can see so clearly through the viewfinder, and the live view option as well as the tilting screen have made the chore of shooting into a delight again.
So just as these fresh new ferns signal a new beginning with summer, so my camera switch is providing a fresh approach in my photographic journey.
OH and PS...if anyone with decent eyesight is looking for a perfectly good used D610 cheap, just let me know.

It's no secret that the City of San Francisco is indeed quite Imperial in regards to its sophistication, which is unmatched by Los Angeles and other West-Coast cities; mesmerizing, which its fog, skyline and bridges offer picturesque views to leave a lifelong impression of positive vibes; and its economy, which maintains SF as a top-tier [media, tech, maritime, and financial] center. This photo is from the ol' archives, so I hope you enjoy it.
