If you want to be good at locating ladies, antennae like the ones on this male non-biting midge (Chironomidae sp) sure look like they would come in handy.
I found this one hanging on to a leaf on a very windy day at Havtornsudd point on the Gålö peninsula in Stockholm's inner southeastern archipelago. In fact, it was so windy that I had to stabilize the leaf with my hand - that's my fingertip in the background.
(I know they are called "antennae" and not "antenna" - but I just remembered a pretty good ZZ Top song by that name and thought it fit the photo.)
All mine. :)
Published by Finch Publishing, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
It's available in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa at the moment. My publishers are looking to potentially open distribution deals with the UK and US, too. But that will come later (they're tight markets to pull from this little corner of the world!).
It can be purchased, as far as I know, from here, in the meantime.
It was only launched at the end of last month. It is based on my diaries. It has recently been endorsed by the Eating Disorders Foundation of Australia.
I am still a little sensitive about the title and cover. I chose neither.

This shoot was all about Big crazy WILD hair. Biting handcuffs, applying lipstick like a Rockstar and a little Bad Habit of smoking. Hope you all enjoy. I had fun doing it.
Ctenotus labillardieri Common Southwest Ctenotus
While walking a tourist track, two Ctenotus skings were biting each other and rolling around.
Unfortunately other images taken have been lost.
Macro of a Pure Black Damselfly sitting on a Nail.
13mm extension tube was coupled with 50mm f/1.8 to get a bit closer than the 50mm permits by default. Could be far more closer if the full set of 3 tubes of 65mm was used. But I wanted a bit more surrounding area and a few out of focus nails along with the main subject.
Monochrome colour tone applied in Photoshop.
Thanks to Randy for trying to stand still for a long exposure ;-) The mosquitoes were biting more than the fish were.
62 Bird and Water Tower
El Segundo, CA
09-29-19
This dusty (but vintage) 1962 Ford Thunderbird convertible (with a For Sale sign in the window 😉😁) was parked up against the wall at the parking structure where I was shooting the El Segundo Water Tower.
I had to go full 10mm and was standing as far away (maybe a foot) as I could be from the car.
It's almost impossible to "correct" the image using lens correction. I've made the attempt three times. This is the best result. It would be better to have the water tower off slightly to one side or another, but I couldn't get the "corner' of the bullet nosed front end in the shot.
It would have been a LOT better if the owner had parked his car in the middle of the lot!
