Her hands must have been frozen. At this point it was about 3.30pm and either they were late leaving London, or they had had a very slow journey.
When we concentrate each little muscle in our face tries to help us to focus, to bring all our attention to a center. Concentration in action lowers down the noisy thoughts, but real silence can not happen when we concentrate.

כאשר אנחנו מתרכזים כל שריר קטן בפנים שלנו מנסה לעזור לנו להתמקד, להביא את כל תשומת הלב שלנו למרכז. ריכוז בפעולה מחליש את רעש המחשבות הרועשות, אבל שקט אמיתי לא יכול להתרחש כאשר אנחנו מתרכזים
The new gas chambers euphemistically called fumigation cubicles in Dachau Concentration Camp. Dachau, Germany.

Auschwitz concentration camp. Its hard to imagine how hopeless were the prisoners facing those fences, walls and watch towers. Visiting this place was depressive experience. I was not sure if I want photos like this in my photostream, but it has strong atmosphere and we should bear in mind what happened in the almost recent past
Auschwitz (Konzentrationslager Auschwitz) was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. It was the largest of the German concentration camps, consisting of Auschwitz I (the Stammlager or base camp); Auschwitz II-Birkenau (the Vernichtungslager or extermination camp); Auschwitz III-Monowitz, also known as Buna-Monowitz (a labor camp); and 45 satellite camps.
Auschwitz is the German name for Oświęcim, the town in and around which the camps were located; it was renamed by the Germans after they invaded Poland in September 1939. Birkenau, the German translation of Brzezinka (birch tree), refers to a small Polish village nearby that was mostly destroyed by the Germans to make way for the camp.
Auschwitz II-Birkenau was designated by Heinrich Himmler, who was the Reichsführer and Germany's Minister of the Interior, as the place of the final solution of the Jewish question in Europe. From spring 1942 until the fall of 1944, transport trains delivered Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over Nazi-occupied Europe. The camp's first commandant, Rudolf Höss, testified after the war at the Nuremberg Trials that up to three million people had died there (2.5 million exterminated, and 500,000 from disease and starvation),a figure since revised to 1.1 million, around 90 percent of them Jews. Others deported to Auschwitz included 150,000 Poles, 23,000 Roma and Sinti, 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war, and tens of thousands of people of diverse nationalities. Those not killed in the gas chambers died of starvation, forced labor, lack of disease control, individual executions, and medical experiments.
On January 27, 1945, Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet troops, a day commemorated around the world as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 1947, Poland founded a museum on the site of Auschwitz I and II, which by 1994 had seen 22 million visitors—700,000 annually—pass through the iron gates crowned with the infamous motto, Arbeit macht frei (work makes you free).
Digital photography seminars and workshops rarely come to St. Louis. That's one reason I signed up for "Digital Days" sponsored by Sony.
As part of the workshop we had a large room set up with three studio lighting and backdrop sets. So 50-60 photographers crowded around for the opportunity to shoot in a studio setting..
I liked the look of concentration on the juggler's face, and that there is a little motion blur. I increased the saturation only on the tennis balls, just for emphasis. Most of the shots I took at -2/3 EV exposure compensation, to completely underexpose the background.

For my concentration I plan to further explore various amounts of ways to represent a portrait. By using a variety of different mediums, styles, and perspectives. The reason being is to incorporate a different vibe and mood for each piece in which will be eventually accomplished.
Within this piece, a painting of my cousin, I chose this picture to draw from because of the facial expression on his face: wide eyed, which I felt was pretty humorous. While painting, I made sure to include mark making, only using dashed lines (besides the eyes), to depict the portrait differently. By using this unique technique, it forces one to be drawn to the work, following the lines, the pattern it forms, and allowing ones eye to wander throughout the portrait.
I took this photo at Mataro's train station while I was waiting for a train.
