Bogart's next lab draw to check his kidney function (as well as his potassium which was elevated last draw) is December 8th. Till then, he continues to eat his "stew." Bogart is getting three to four bowls of water with kidney-friendly dog food floating on top. In addition, I carry around pieces of his food as treats. Here you can see the intense concentration as Bogart expertly keys in on the flying kibble. . . yeah, he's good.

Unprocessed! I was going back through my photos and found this one. I had deleted the accompanying RAW unfortunately, so this is the medium-quality JPEG that was shot with the RAW.
Auschwitz concentration camp (German: Konzentrationslager Auschwitz, also KZ Auschwitz) was a network of German Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It consisted of Auschwitz I (the original camp), Auschwitz II–Birkenau (a combination concentration/extermination camp), Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps.
Auschwitz I was first constructed to hold Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940. The first extermination of prisoners took place in September 1941, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau went on to become a major site of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish question". From early 1942 until late 1944, transport trains delivered Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over German-occupied Europe, where they were killed with the pesticide Zyklon B. At least 1.1 million prisoners died at Auschwitz, around 90 percent of them Jewish; approximately 1 in 6 Jews killed in the Holocaust died at the camp. Others deported to Auschwitz included 150,000 Poles, 23,000 Romani and Sinti, 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war, 400 Jehovah's Witnesses, and tens of thousands of others of diverse nationalities, including an unknown number of homosexuals. Many of those not killed in the gas chambers died of starvation, forced labor, infectious diseases, individual executions, and medical experiments.
In the course of the war, the camp was staffed by 7,000 members of the German Schutzstaffel (SS), approximately 12 percent of whom were later convicted of war crimes. Some, including camp commandant Rudolf Höss, were executed. The Allied Powers refused to believe early reports of the atrocities at the camp, and their failure to bomb the camp or its railways remains controversial. One hundred forty-four prisoners are known to have escaped from Auschwitz successfully, and on October 7, 1944, two Sonderkommando units—prisoners assigned to staff the gas chambers—launched a brief, unsuccessful uprising.
As Soviet troops approached Auschwitz in January 1945, most of its population was evacuated and sent on a death march. The prisoners remaining at the camp were liberated on January 27, 1945, a day now commemorated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In the following decades, survivors, such as Primo Levi, Viktor Frankl, and Elie Wiesel, wrote memoirs of their experiences in Auschwitz, and the camp became a dominant symbol of the Holocaust. In 1947, Poland founded a museum on the site of Auschwitz I and II, and in 1979, it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I used contrast here, balance with the cross and the car on opposing sides of the composition, and proportion with the cross compared to the well known object of the car wheel. Using my concentration I came to see things in a way that I had not seen them before. In this case, I found images of the cross in places that I had never thought of before, like parking. This is a parking measurement tool that they have painted on the streets to demarcate spaces for meters and where the cars need to park. This is such an inconsequential part of day to day life that many people do not think of it was being important and don't recognize it and yet it is there and it is still the same image as the cross. I had to reshoot this because I initially had flash on that made it too harsh and with this one I took a better photo with a long exposure angle instead. I edited it into a black and white style with increased contrast.
(blogged) I realised with a start the other day that my baby Reid has somehow turned into a full-fledged toddler (!) and I need to get it together already and change the way I've been thinking of him and treating him....
I'm not sure on what these young boys are so fixated. One boy is holding onto the gate around the Jama Masjid and these are the steps leading up to the mosque area.
Sachsenhausen, or Sachsenhausen-Oranienburg was a Nazi concentration camp in Oranienburg, Germany, used primarily for political prisoners from 1936 to the end of the Third Reich in May 1945. After World War II, when Oranienburg was in the Soviet Occupation Zone, the structure was used as an NKVD special camp until 1950. The remaining buildings and grounds are now open to the public as a museum.
The idea behind this photo is for the girls in the picture to be treating the little candle flame as a fire. I did change edits a few times on this photo and did have to reshoot the girl on the right to make it able to edit in the stick into her hands. Th most challenging part of this picture was making realistic shadows that would be in the correct spot. The design principle in this photo is color interaction, I put color overlays over the candle to help it match the tones of the flame.
Making photos in a circus is quite difficult. Dim light, fast moving objects, coloured light and you cannot walk around. Maybe thats the reason I keep trying.
The last illusion,last chance,
worker's concentration over a dream probably,
escape from reality,
peace my friend.

There are four types of challenges one might encounter when practicing mindfulness meditation:
- The “sinking” mind, when awareness becomes dull, grey, numb, often resulting in drowsiness and sleep.
- The “thinking” mind, also known as the “monkey mind” that keeps grabbing onto one thought after another.
- Discomfort and pain that disrupts your concentration
- Distracting sensations, such as feeling that you are floating, spinning, or disappearing.

I enjoyed this concert, or rather gathering of listeners, intensely, concentrated on listening and only made a few photos after the break. There were at least two professionals in the hall, so somewhere else much better shots may surface. However, something of the magic comes through in this quick snap, that I want to share with you.
