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.

I'd bring you along
We'd go to New York to Tampa too
But truly I'm set right here
In dennys drinking coffee
And sharing a cigarette
I am disgusted by my lack or self control sometimes.
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from [ T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets ]
Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.

This time spring feels like a new beginning.
Although I know you since years
Its like meeting you for the first time.
every word is full of emotions
every word is a seed in my soul
can you hold me again?
even when summer ends?
can you rest in winter ?
and bloom with me again in spring?
Trust that an ending
is followed
by a beginning .
just another one from the awesome night .Soon spring is coming and we start chasing the midnight light here in Iceland
MMID UBST blasts off out of Woodsboro with stone loads for Finksburg. The UBST's stone is fairly uncommon occurrence where online traffic runs from original origin to final destination all on one shortline.
Sometimes during the end of a walk I get too tired to switch my lens again. I just aim and fire. It works once in a while.
Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.

After several years of anticipating a trip to the Clinchfield (despite only living a few hours away) I finally came up . Q692 is seen here entering the loops at Ashford, NC.
In between sunset and sunrise at Héðinsfjörður, N-Iceland.
The past is the beginning of the beginning and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

I was walking along, in wonderment at the suddenly cool weather and the excitement of fall, when I saw this lone leaf lying on the ground. I carried it along with me until I found the perfect place to photograph it. The simple falling of a leaf is something most people don't pause to ponder, but it can mean so many different things. It can symbolize a beginning or an end. It can stand for falling from a great height or being picked up at your lowest point. It can point to the fact that the possibilities of summer are gone, and the chill of winter is on the horizon, or it can remind one that with the changing of seasons comes a fresh outlook on life. To me, it's a little of all of them.
