This shot is from last Thursday evening's shoot with fellow photographers Jave & Jimmy.
Like so many of our outings, this one started out with us rushing out to our destination with little time to spare. And when I say rushing, I mean driving really fast. Triple digit fast, if you catch my drift. And I'd like to mention that I was not the one behind the wheel. Because if I was, we would have been driving a cool 65 mph and probably would not have made it here on time to take any shots. Although, in retrospect, the timing did not make much of a difference, since after about 20 minutes of shooting it started to rain on us continually for the next few hours. But, we would not be denied our shots on this day, because before we left San Jose, Jave, most intelligently, reminded me to bring my huge golfing umbrellas. These suckers are 7 foot in diameter. So, we did, what I like to call "Team Shooting" where one photographer would hold the two umbrellas over the three of us while the other two took their shots and we would rotate and took turns shooting. It was a little crowded and you may notice that my companions comps are fairly similar to my own, but that is the price you pay for shooting under umbrellas in the rain. This shot was actually taken when the rain let up for a bit. Good times :-)
After we were done at this location, we headed to baker beach to try a shot of the bridge from the other side of the fort, but as luck would have it. I got a business related call while walking out to our spot that I could not ignore and spend the next 45 minutes on the phone with a client while standing under one of my umbrellas in the rain. Not so much fun. But, I didn't feel that bad, because while I was working, my two amigos where struggling to get shots in the rain and finally gave up just about the time I hung up with my client. I think our conversation went something like...Did you guys get anything good? My amigos reply...Crap...lets get out of here. So, off we went to Tommy's in the City for some Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches and the warmth of in doors. I got a couple of more shots from this shots, but they are fairly similar with different cloud motion, so I'll save those for another day. Hope you guys enjoy the image and just remember...when it comes to umbrellas, size is King. :-)
Enjoy :-)

Some chains down from the steps by the City of London School.
Went walkabouts in London when Jon popped down for a visit. Thought it a good chance to test out some manual lenses.

Just testing out my new G10.
I have also decided to start documenting the Malé swimming track; which is basically and quite ironically, the islands only swimming area. Unless you count the artificial beach; but that place is tiny and extremely shallow.

It's nice to know that when I feel completely empty, like I've got nothing left in the tank, somehow I find a litttle something in there that keeps me going.
Our daughter did a set of songs at our Silver Wedding celebrations last May. This was the opening number. More to follow
HMB!
This was supposed to be my submission to last week's DIP-it-Thursday, but I ended up liking the violin one more ^___^
Enrollment is next week ... I'm quite excited to be a student again, but I'm also really scared :D I'll be in a new place with new people ... I don't really adjust to change that well ... I get sick *really* easily when I'm placed in a new environment ... just like our goldfish, lol

Continuing with yesterday's daisy theme, a daisy chain. I want to say that no daisies were hurt during the making of this, or at least no more daisies than necessary, but I cannot because it would be a lie. It is a lot harder than I remember to make a daisy chain. Some time during primary school, I do not quite remember when, I joined in with the rest of the year group to make the longest daisy chain - we wanted to break the world record. Of course, none of us actually knew what the world record was for the longest daisy chain, but we got it to be all the way from the top playground to the bottom playground - to children that is quite a long way. I think the only reason I was involved was because they needed everyone in the year to be able to make it before the end of break - if they had had ample people, I would probably not have been involved.
I have to thank my lovely neighbour for agreeing to let me photograph her. I was very close to asking my brother to be in this photo - hey, why not break the social gender stereotypes just a little more and have a boy wearing a daisy crown? My only problem was that he is not home at the moment. Maybe when I see him next...
Oh, I used Mango Street's free Lightroom preset, because I was pressed for time and I could not get it to look how I wanted without a lot of fiddling about with it, and with pressing biology work waiting for me, how could I hang around working on something that I actually wanted to be doing?
Ognuno ha le proprie catene da spezzare.
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
The split pins are interesting, one is a nail and one is too long.
