"Beached Walkers” Installation of shoes washed ashore near and around LA Harbor Southern California . View more artwork #Lowell Nickel art. Lower- Digital imaging using beached rubbish as subject matterlocal beaches.
This work began by building clusters of flotsam
and making digital photomontages. As this project evolved a
formal image-making strategy developed via toying with these
beached objects and placing them within layered compositions.
The intention: the renewal of this wayward material by displaying
it, with all it’s seasoned attributes, as somehow elegant.
As a devoted beachcomber and lifelong roadside treasure
hunter I have regard for these distressed and decomposing
products. These materials are our own footprints to be washed
away in time by the elements. The weathering forces of nature
serve as the ultimate liberator of all manmade materials… this
does not come without alterations of risky consequence.
Currently, this flotsam theme is also being explored with video,
installation work and billboard public presentations.
Thank you for the work that you do to change minds and better our Planet in need!
Sincerely lowell nickel
Maybe you never knew me
Maybe you thought that I'd never change
But you know I'm changing, you're wrong
And it's been like dying.
Oh no love's that hard to find...
and I'm tired of...
and I'm tired of trying

She was upset, talking to the young man with tears in her eyes, shamelessly and quickly brought my camera in shooting position and click!! in the split second the camera caught a totally different story :)) Love photography don't you!! All's well that ends well :))
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

"THOSE WHO CANNOT GO TO THE BEACHES MAY DO THEIR BATHING THUS
Berlin is so far north that it enjoys from 16 to 18 hours of summer daylight. Short as the season is, the city has numberless boat and bathing clubs, and is famous in the athletic world for its excellent swimmers."

Made these quilted changing pads for my nephew. I loved to use these when my kids were babies to cover those horrid changing tables in public restrooms.
The fabric of this skirt is very delicate and in fact is a bit see thru. It feels so fem when I’m wearing it!💕
Tries a skirt on in a Quiz store, something I never thought I would be bold enough to try. Unfortunately skirt just too small. Shame changing room so small.

'I promise change"
~ Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney's Biggest Flip Flops
ABORTION
Flip: "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, that we should sustain and support it. I sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice." — Debate with Sen. Edward Kennedy, 1994
"I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard." — Massachusetts Gubernatorial Debate, 2002
Flop: "Look, I was pro-choice. I am pro-life. You can go back to YouTube and look at what I said in 1994. I never said I was pro-choice, but my position was effectively pro-choice. I changed my position." — Iowa Straw poll debate, 2007
"What I would like to see happen would be for the Supreme Court to say, look, we’re going to overturn Roe v. Wade and return to the states the authority to decide whether they want to have abortion or not, state by state. That’s the way it was before Roe v. Wade. So I am firmly pro-life." — Town hall meeting, Hopkinton, NH, 2011
VIETNAM
Flip" "I was not planning on signing up for the military. It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam." — Quoted by the Boston Herald, 1994
Flop: "I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam." — Quoted by the Boston Globe, 2007
HEALTH CARE REFORM
Flip: "I like mandates. Mandates work." — Presidential primary debate, 2008
"I'm proud of what we've done. If Massachusetts succeeds in implementing [Romneycare], then that will be a model for the nation." — Speech in Baltimore, 2007
Flop: "At the time I crafted the plan in the last campaign I was asked is [Romneycare] something that you would have the whole nation do, and I said no. This is something that was crafted for Massachusetts. It would be wrong to adopt this as a nation." — Presidential primary debate, 2011
Bret Baier: "Governor, you did say on camera and in other places, at times you thought [Romneycare] would be a model for the nation."
Mitt Romney: "You're wrong, Bret." — Fox News interview, 2011
CLIMATE CHANGE
Flip: "I believe the world’s getting warmer. I can’t prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that. ... And so I think it's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you're seeing." — Town hall meeting, Manchester, NH, June 2011
Flop: "My view is that we don’t know what’s causing climate change on this planet. And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us." — Q&A session, Pittsburg, PA, October 2011
BUSH TAX CUTS
Flip: "[R]omney spoke at the 10th annual legislative conference organized by U.S. Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-Lowell) and met with the Massachusetts delegation. ... Congressional sources said that a point of contention arose when Romney refused to take a position on Bush’s massive, 10-year tax cut plan.” — Boston Herald, 2003
Flop: "McCain opposed President Bush’s tax cuts, Romney noted. 'I supported them,' the former governor said." — Quoted in The State (SC), 2007
Mitt Romney: The character of a loser
For Mitt Romney, the only prize is that of a loser, and that has never been more plainly evident than in his talk with his political campaign donors Wednesday when he blamed his loss on “the gifts” he said President Obama gave to Hispanics, blacks and young voters during his first term.
Romney said this just a week after delivering a surprisingly magnanimous concession speech that, had he walked away quietly afterwards, would have left even those who would never have voted for him feeling that perhaps they had misjudged his character during a campaign in which he made it so easy to do so.
But now, I suspect that we can all see that it wasn’t the primaries nor the debates that truly defined the Romney character so much as two talks he had with his deep-pocket donors, rich fat-cats some would call them, with whom the former Massachusetts governor obviously has more in common than he does with the common American who so astutely rejected his bid for the presidency last week.
For it was that speech back in May that fortunately was recorded and made public as the campaign was heating up that probably was the single factor, if any one thing was, that cost Romney a presidential victory that was his to lose, given the fact that no incumbent had ever been reelected with the kind of unemployment rate currently plaguing the country.
That was the speech in which Romney told his supporters that 47 percent of American voters were deadbeats who didn’t pay taxes and that he could more easily win the presidency if only he were Hispanic.
Forty-seven percent of America should have rejected him after that speech. And if they all didn’t, then at least almost eight out of every 10 Latinos who voted – and it turned out to be a record Hispanic turnout – said hasta la vista, deadbeat Mitt.
Romney tried to weasel out of those words by saying that sometimes his thoughts didn’t come out as he intended. It didn’t seem to matter, as Romney appeared headed toward certain defeat until the evening of October 3 when an overconfident Obama stumbled so badly in their first debate that the Romney campaign was given new life.
Thankfully, Romney lost. But if there was ever any doubt about the kind of president he would have been and whose interests he would have protected, it was removed Wednesday in his pathetic attempt to suggest that Obama had somehow bought the votes of Hispanics, blacks and the young with everything from the Affordable Health Care Act to his deferred action program to undocumented Latino youth, as if Romney’s own intentions to protect the wealthy from a fare share of taxation were some kind of benevolent act.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Lyrics:-
I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell t hem to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time...

"MANY CITIZENS USE BERLIN'S POST OFFICES FOR WRITING THEIR LETTERS
This is one of Berlin's many branch post offices. The public writing room is well lighted, with comfortable chairs, tables, inkpots and blotters. No doubt Teutonic thoroughness and painstaking also provide pens that will write!"

Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct 10 2010
Local students made a giant 350 to promote solutions to climate change and to urge politicians to pass clean energy policies.
This was one of over 7,000 climate action events taking place in in 188 countries around the world on 10/10/10 as part of “The Global Work Party.” This synchronized international event is organized by 350.org, and is expected to be the largest day of environmental activism in history.

Forgot I loaded this one up here already....longish exposure of some rocks over near the Rizzen Sea Park Resort. I was playing around with a new variable ND filter and learning its capabilities and limitations and what not. Turns out they don't produce very good results at ultra-wide focal lengths. This photo is cropped and converted to black and white to get rid of some of the color distortions and softness issues I found at the edges.
