Askin, working together with Golden Turk Awards winner O. Faruk Tekbilek, approaches Brian Keane to mix the album and provide additional orchestration and guitar. Brian is 13 time Grammy winning record producer, and has scored an Academy Award winning documentary among 6 other Oscar nominated films. This album compilation is original and loaded with talent! The production is the first time ever having a mass variety of Artists to produce an Album together. They are all genuine musicians, showing the world that music is Universal Language.
The five year long project, started with Askin Serbetci - Executive Producer, realizing the quality of the melodies and compositions and envisioning the instrumentation. His goal was to hear the music played by a huge ensemble band and having only the best well known Artists in the industry. Every instrument is featured throughout the tracks. His philosophy of, "Music is the Art and Science of sound vibrations" has made him work hard to raise the level of music to make it’s best. Each track takes you to a journey, and takes you to memories of loved ones. The style of unique musical texture will also relax your mind and release the stress and actually feel relieved.
You are listening to the instrumental original version of the songs. Askin plans to meet with popular Artists from around the world to release the songs in different languages like, English, Turkish, Spanish... He feels that will serve to the fans that prefer to listen to an alternative in their native language.
What was supposed to be a gorgeous day turned into a quick rainy one but everyone still held a positive attitude and we kept all the backpacks dry at Back-to-School Brigade in Groton, CT. Thank you to our amazing Team Captain volunteers Cathy T. and Carolyn B. and another huge thank you to the team at Beacon Point Homes in hosting us, and always willing to do the heavy lifting. Thank you to our sponsors NIKE, Dollar Tree, and Chelsea Groton Bank.
One of the downsides of being well cared for here in Bombay is that no one will allow themselves to let you pass even a moment of discomfort. Whatever I need to do - cabs are called, drivers summoned, and I cram my too-tall frame into a too-small space and a jarring, noisy, stop-start adventure through the streets begins. I miss walking, cycling, running, getting by on my own steam. "too far", "too dangerous", "what??" is the reply to each of those. After a particularly long day sweating in one car after another, knowing that I could have walked the 5km home in a hour and taking that same time to be driven, I said "I'm taking the stairs." But here is the lift, come on. "I'M TAKING THE STAIRS." So, the steps go by, two by two, and then one by one, flight by flight. The stairs are more used for storage than access; bags of cement, an old toilet, stacks of wood, unidentified items that surely must be rubbish. The ground drops away 5th floor, 10th floor, 15th floor. The walls, though barely two or three years old, are thickly stained with paan that has been spat by the workers. I see the entryways to the apartments; there is a Rainforest Cafe wannabe, here is Failed Funky, now I see Religious Wreck. The 18th floor comes at last. My legs ache, at last.
My cousin and I stopped on June 30, 2010 to visit the farmer next door to the farm where I grew up.
This appears to be the resting ground for some farm equipment that is no longer being used..
Taken very near my seeing Red photo, I continue my obsession with matching colours. What I love about this is how the bin, the car and the man all have red highlights. Well worth waiting to get this shot.
The roses on campus have been really slow to recover this year, but there's one area over by the administration buildings that's thriving. Where most of the roses on campus are just now putting forth leaves, these are in full bloom. I don't understand why, but I'm glad for it.
On campus at the University of Notre Dame.
Sometime during this photoshoot, probably while I was tramping through the weeds behind the building around the time I was taking this pic, I picked up a tick.
Fortunately, I spotted and squooshed it (with the help of CDN$.01) before it got the chance to latch on.
Lots of fresh snow, but it made for an unstable base, so all the back bowls were closed due to avalanche danger.
Was in the area and thought I'd take a walk around this old hospital again. Its deteriorated quite a bit since the last time I visited but security are still on the ball was tailed most of my walk by a guy in a white van, they seam friendly enough mind you.
I was back out in the front yard, working again on pruning back some tree suckers - the same spot I found a leaf-footed bug nymph a week or two ago. After a few minutes, I noticed something moving on the rocks around the tree... i had found the same bug!! Or maybe one of his siblings... anyway, I'm pretty sure this is the same kind of bug, just a little more mature.
Isn't he beautiful? I love all those bits of red and yellow on him...
He was just as energetic as the last time I photographed him!
I so want to be back on the East Coast shooting seascapes! I've not got out much with my camera of late, so heres another shot from when we were over there a few weeks ago. At Whitley Bay, again.
Decided a moody mono conversion would take the shot in a different direction than the others i've posted so far.

Thanks for looking :)
My Come Back Veronique arrived today. The first Veronique from the new sculpt wanted to pose with the last Vero of the old sculpt: the Body Double Veronique. I have repainted and rerooted my BD Vero, though. Siama already picked up the blond bombshell, but I did keep the delicious lingerie for myself.
