This year in my mushroom photography I've been trying to show more of the surrounding environment in my finished image. Nailed it! www.ChrisDraperPhotography.com shared with pixbuf.com
Central, Hong Kong
The Bank of China tower is a true architectural icon of the Hong Kong built environment. Designed by the legendary I.M. Pei and completed in 1990, this building remains a potent symbol of prosperity & growth.
Unfortunately, the viewing gallery on the the 43rd floor is no longer open to the public.
I'm sorry, but I'm just a girl
Not usually the kind to show my heart to the world
I'm pretty good at keeping it together
I hold my composure, for worse or for better
So I apologize if you don't like what you see
But sometimes my emotions get the best of me
And falling apart is as human as it gets
You can't hide it, you can't fight what the truth is
You can pretty lie and say it's okay
You can pretty smile and just walk away
Pretty much fake your way through anything
But you can't cry pretty
Trying something different here with a 3 in one series photo composure. Appalachian and Ohio Railroad train Z81604, coal loads from Arch Coal's Leer South mine pass by the east end of Knight Siding in Webster, West Virginia. The steep, undulating profile on the former Baltimore & Ohio Cowen Subdivision has always been tough to railroad over, but as the years go on and technology improves, what once were formidable grades and helper districts have been removed. Replaced by newer, more powerful engines have allowed 100 loads of coal dropping down the short, but steep .87% grade little issue. A modern pair of ET44AH's General Electric engines have it well in hand with just a small bit of air set on the brakes combined with their strong dynamic braking. A few miles to the east, the train will come to a stop at Berkeley Run Junction waiting for permission from the Grafton yardmaster to bring their train in for delivery to CSX.
Equanimity: The quality of being calm and even-tempered; composure.
It's a long story, I'll give you the short version: Photographed outside, in my daughter and son-in-law's garden, while they were gone for a walk. Piece of paper (for the background) in one hand, camera in the other... there was a brisk breeze blowing. The paper was flopping around. The flowers were swaying in the breeze. I was squatted down on the ground, weaving around, (wobbly old women should NEVER squat down!!!) and cussing like a sailor. This is the end result of about 25 failed shots. Yeppers, equanimity is an interesting word. And on that particular Saturday evening... it was far more applicable to the poppy than it was to me.
Wishing you all a calm and wonderful weekend :))
Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover I'd never lie
He said, "Be true," I swear, "I'll try."
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love; the crazy kind
I am his, and he is mine
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
My '65 speeding up the PCH, a hell of a ride
They don't wanna see us make it, they just wanna divide
2017 Bonnie and Clyde
Wouldn't see the point of living on if one of us died
Got that kind of style everybody try to rip off
YSL dress under when she take the mink off
Silk on her body, pull it down and watch it slip off
Ever catch me cheating, she would try to cut my (ha-ha-ha)
Crazy, but I love her, I could never run from her
Hit it, no rubber, never would no one touch her
Swear we drive each other mad, she be so stubborn
But what the fuck is love with no pain, no suffer
Intense, this shit, it gets dense
She knows when I'm out of it like she could just sense
If I had a million dollars, or was down to ten cents
She'd be down for whatever, never gotta convince
You know
Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover I'd never lie
I love you baby
He said, "Be true," I swear, "I'll try."
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love; the crazy kind
I am his, and he is mine
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
In the end, it's him and I
It's her and I mobbin' 'til the end of time
Only one who gets me, I'm a crazy fuckin' Gemini
Remember this for when I die
Everybody dressed in all black, suits and a tie
My funeral will be lit if I
Ever go down or get caught, if they identify
My bitch was the most solid, nothing to solidify
She would never cheat, you'd never see her with a different guy
Ever tell you different, then it's a lie
See, that's my down bitch, see that's my soldier
She keep that thang-thang, if anyone goes there
Calm and collected, she keeps her composure
And she gon' ride for me until this thing over
We do drugs together (together)
Fuck up clubs together (together)
And we'd both go crazy (crazy)
If we was to sever
You know?
We keep mobbin', it's just me and my bitch
Fuck the world, we just gon' keep getting rich
You know?
Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover I'd never lie
He said, "Be true," I swear, "I'll try."
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love; the crazy kind
I am his, and he is mine
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
In the end, it's him and I
Cross my heart, hope to die
To you I've never lied
For you I'd take a life
It's him and I, and I swear
'Til the end I'm-ma ride with you
Mob and get money, get high with you
Cross my heart, hope to die
This is our ride or die
You can confide in me
There is no hiding, I swear
Stay solid, never lie to you
Swear, most likely I'mma die with you
Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover I'd never lie
He said, "Be true," I swear, "I'll try."
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love, the crazy kind
I am his, and he is mine
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
In the end, it's him and I
The Tosa's temperament is marked by patience, composure, boldness and courage. He is normally a tranquil, quiet, and obedient dog, with a calm but vigilant demeanor. With a stately manner and robust build, they were formerly bred for fighting, but are now used as watchdogs.
This year with Tartuffe has been such a break for me :). While almost all of his siblings still have a hard time when there is too much hullabaloo in the streets of NYC, he keeps his composure and will comply with all of my requests for pictures :). Look at that tail wag in this spooky alley! He really rocks.

PixQuote:
"When you photograph something, don't accept it as the end result; there's always a next step. But repeat something only if you can improve on it. Otherwise, you must move on. A photographer must change to show change, and it is as much the photographer's challenge to show change as it is to preserve what is. A picture must be a question as well as an answer."
-Ernst Haas
Deep inside Upper Antelope Canyon, few composures are ever exactly the same. All have one common theme however; they inspire wonder and a great respect for how time, wind, water and sunlight change our earth - in very, very small amounts over unimaginably long periods of time. For a thousand generations sunlight has poured from the narrow fissure above to brilliantly illuminate ancient sandstone - conducting a virtual symphony of color. And just think, we were there... October, 2012. The Slots of Antelope Canyon ~ Navajo Nation, Page, Arizona
I have a little story to tell with this light I used last night, and the story is to come. Although there are so many pages to the story, I have to find the time to process all of the images! I hope I can get through them all in a timely manner!

This is a poor quality image taken before sunrise in the mist but I’m putting it up as a prelude to the next image. ‘Spotnose’ (left, always game) trotted across to an adjacent meadow to do battle with ‘Bignuts’ (right) and after a vigorous fight Spotnose started celebrate victory as Bignuts turned tail and galloped off. His celebrations were short-lived, however, when Bibnuts regathered his composure turned back around and recommenced battle and eventually won. Defeated Spotnose reluctantly retiring back to his part of the meadow. To turn defeat into victory takes some balls and Bignuts certainly has more than his fair share. (Pics of him to follow) ;0)
No need to comment, it's not worthy :0)
I'm always impressed by those brave enough to perform in the streets, repeating their show countless times and earning the coins one by one.
They often show a good dose of abnegation when facing the many situations that may occur, never losing their composure. It always reminds me that taking a candid portrait is no big deal.
This picture works in pair with the next one: The audience.
She had a meltdown and almost got the best of me. I kept my composure, but, held nothing back in letting her know how I felt. We drove back home in almost complete silence.
We're good now, but, I'm still kind of affected.

A different composure to normal. I really liked this walkway acting as a leading line into the image, the cut down tree stumps on the right looked nice just sat in the water, and I decided to frame the shot with the trees surrounding me.
So come with me I’ll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me, I’m sick of this shameful head of mine, I'm lost in its tangles

This juvenile was sitting in the tree going into Gull Pond right on the corner....mostly shaded and behind branches. When I first started photography I would have "looked" at him as he flew away...I am learning to ....stay focused!
JS 8197 stands with quiet dignity as she takes a breather from working her heart out hauling load after load of coal out of the pit. On this occasion she has brought a short train of heavy plant equipment from Dongboilzhan to the loading facility at Xikeng.
This Chinese JS locomotive is facing a bleak future and could very soon find herself in the scrap yard if the pit closes in April as is predicted.
The area of Sandouling in NW China will become like a ghost town if this occurs.
‚WALDEN‘ by Miriam Neitzel:
"WALDEN is a composure of young contemporary photography. It is about the 4 elements, the human perception of nature, the longing and the construct of romanticism. We support emerging artists nevertheless, we find inspiration in well-known photographers. At the moment we are planning to publish a magazine with a selection of the featured photographs." (Miriam Neitzel)
