Confrontation
Male fox kit, Little Red, confronts a groundhog, no animals were hurt during the taking of this photo!
This Carolina Anole (Anolis carolinensis) is confronting another Anole below. Found him near the Jimenoa River in Dominican Republic.
Happens nearly every week. Someone comments on one of my old photos and I'm confronted with the words of a dead person. Thoughts left by people who are simply no longer alive. Their words just hang there in cyberspace; unanswerable, yet wonderful traces of their personalities, their spirit, their willingness guess to engage and encourage...their voices now forever silenced, but with these little epitaphs left on my photos. It's an ever increasing issue as social media accounts of all sorts carry on in perpetuity after the owner is deceased. There seems to be no mechanism in place to delete them (other than perhaps a long period absent of new activity). To me one of the saddest parts of this is not knowing what happened. I've heard only a couple of direct reports of the passing of fellow flickr members. Most of the time my first clue is the person simply stops posting new photos. There's no way to know if they passed on, quit photography, or simply forgot their password. Something very eerie to me looking at the last couple of photos posted on a dormant account. Did they know they were coming to the end? Was there anything prescient in the final photo? Probably not. Every time I post something here I tend to assume I'll be back again tomorrow or the next day with something else. That's how life is I suppose: everything's good until it isn't. I love the thought that flickr accounts will somehow remain visible long after the creator has left the stage. Thoughts like this fuel my desire to seek some meaning out of each day, and regard every post as if it will be my last.
This photo reminded me of the cycle of life and it's one of the reasons I continually find myself in cemeteries. The morning was freezing cold yet my face and exposed skin basked in the soothing warmth of the late-January sun. As odd dichotomy now is seeing liquid water droplets in ten degree air, such is the power of the sun at this time of year. The sunlight reflecting off the snowpack dazzled my eye, and the brilliance of the day rendered my DSLR review screen useless. In such moments I just revert to old school 35mm mentality and shoot blindly while bracketing wildly. It worked before and it works now. In fact the less I'm involved in the technical aspects of photography the better. I just want to be in the moment with the camera as an adjunct of my mind. I'm already seeing past this frozen landscape to the verdant green growth that will begin to emerge in just a few short weeks.

Olivia confronts some alternate personalities at the Pdxstrobist shoot at Skate World in Hillsboro, September 21, 2008.
Lighting: I honestly can't remember if this was ambient or if I had my sb-800/umbrella firing. The light in that corner was pretty good all by itself.

The two Edwards - Edward, Prince of Wales, and Edward IV - confront each other in the battle. The Prince of Wales was killed and Edward IV remained king until his death in 1483. I believe the blood on the Prince of Wales face isn't real but it is believed he was scarred in the battle. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to keep out the rope from this shot from where we were sitting and it did spoil some of my shots.
Another shot in the comment below of the victorious Edward IV.
"In Being and Nothingness Sartre describes the situation of a walker confronted with an overhanging cliff face. ‘For the simple traveller,’ he writes, ‘who passes over this road and whose free project is a pure aesthetic ordering of the landscape, the crag is not revealed either as scalable or not scalable; it is manifested only as beautiful or ugly.’ If I am simply on a walk, the rock face is an obstacle; if I am a painter, it is not. But the absurd – the psychoanalytic – possibility that Sartre does not consider is that I may realize I am on a walk only when I perceive the cliff as an obstacle. That is to say, the only way to discover your projects is to notice – to make conscious – what you reckon are obstacles."
- Adam Phillips, On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored: Psychoanalytic Essays (1993)

As many of you know I love Castle building, it's so easy to pack in detail with that theme, which is why it's one of my favourite things to do when building. So Castle and Marvel in the one vig? Why not! I've had the Doom figure lying around since I bought the set it came in, so what's that... 2013? Man 5 years now. Anyway yes super glad I finally got to use this figure in a MOC. For me collecting figs is fun, it's nice to have them sure, but it's only worth it when I can put them in a MOC. So I used this MOC as a way to display some other figs that I have yet to come up with concepts for MOC's to put them in. The Sentry figure is from bigkidbrix, if you are wondering ;)
But yeah, love building throne rooms like this, makes me want to do more, it was great fun to combine two of my favourite themes in the one vig like this. Would love to do it again!

Au-dessus des étangs, au-dessus des vallées,
Des montagnes, des bois, des nuages, des mers,
Par delà le soleil, par delà les éthers,
Par delà les confins des sphères étoilées,
Mon esprit, tu te meus avec agilité,
Et, comme un bon nageur qui se pâme dans l'onde,
Tu sillonnes gaiement l'immensité profonde
Avec une indicible et mâle volupté.
Envole-toi bien loin de ces miasmes morbides ;
Va te purifier dans l'air supérieur,
Et bois, comme une pure et divine liqueur,
Le feu clair qui remplit les espaces limpides.
Derrière les ennuis et les vastes chagrins
Qui chargent de leur poids l'existence brumeuse,
Heureux celui qui peut d'une aile vigoureuse
S'élancer vers les champs lumineux et sereins ;
Celui dont les pensers, comme des alouettes,
Vers les cieux le matin prennent un libre essor,
- Qui plane sur la vie, et comprend sans effort
Le langage des fleurs et des choses muettes !

Les Fleurs du mal : Elévation
C.Baudelaire
Kairouan est fondée sur la ligne de confrontation entre Byzantins et musulmans dans le but d'en faire un point d'appui dans leur campagne de conquête de l'Afrique du Nord. L'emplacement choisi pour sa fondation, à l'intérieur des terres, semble particulièrement inhospitalier mais se situe suffisamment loin de la côte pour éviter les assauts de la flotte byzantine contrôlant alors la mer Méditerranée. Il fait aussi face aux montagnes qui sont le refuge des Berbères. Kairouan possède alors une double fonction militaire et religieuse, assurant à la fois la guerre sainte et la défense des terres nouvellement conquises.

Ecco a voi un confronto diretto fra un Caimano di 1 serie (l'originale) e un Caimano di 6 serie, ovvero il Navetta (l'ultima evoluzione). Nella fattispecie possiamo vedere il confronto fra il E655.079, in livrea OLD, e il E656.586, in livrea XMPR, appaiati ai binari 3 e 4 a Pomezia, al traino dei loro rispettivi merci.
Carnival days, where demons are confronted; rites meet with evil spirits and masks pass-by with roles to enact calibrations of taboo and ideas of evil - these are all very human asides. A cathartic, 'pedagogic' and transgressional frame upside down and inside mankind's regular flow of chatter, concentration and laughter.
Man's past journeys through Ice ages, over arid deserts and across sea distances have included elements of unknown that can, and could kill or maim. A cultural and emotional outlet for cathartic shudders, for practiced courage, abject belittling and chip-shifted fear made sense for prehistory, native history and history.
The trap of a 'transport dragon' (an idea I promote in past posts) where clans crisscrossed the white of the reindeer landscape inside a tactical structure, asked for a suitable noise for the moment when predators such as circling cave lions approached for a final attack. The noise came as the spears from inside the transport dragon's light wood frame flew, and the noise was the scream. A real functional and terrified scream that became embedded inside the personality strategies of our species : finding the trigger for this scream being a career plot for some mischievous Youtubers and diverse film makers. There are arguments that the definition of Civilization is a point when humans can take hold of their emotions and control them - the rowdy and the noisy here being 'uncivilized'. With this logic, Romans elites who let others die for their spectacle and their power without a skip of the heart were 'civilized' rather than 'subhuman'. Contrast this with people who take to a full scream at the slightest creepy event - a surprise spider's web in the face, a fly that lands on an arm or a lizard that scurries under a table, and maybe we can see another end to a human spectrum of emotion. Here, the wealth of 'normal' human behaviours are within these extremes - able to be scarred and to scream, tempted to transgress into a 'Halloween' every now-and-then without loosing track with the serious side of being a studied and at times laughing character. Seeing Halloween as a carnival island of transgression that is rooted in our deep prehistories takes us to the above montage...
For this image I took a photograph from the permanent exhibition at the 'Le musée de la Castre' in Cannes. As far as I understand, this archaic demon masque was originally from Tibet. Whilst the profound details of the rites will greatly differ from today's international halloween (often reduced to knocking on doors and blackmailing for sweets) the most obvious difference is in the quality of the mask's production. This mask of fur and stitch is very old yet still 'alive'. A significant proportion of the world's Halloween masks (and the statistics of the number manufactured each year must be boggling) end up in bins as refuse once the night has disappeared to memory. Taking the time to make a demon mask that you bring out every year seems to be the better of the two options. Is it not time to find courage from native and prehistorical skill sets and fine tune our skills to make our own credible masks of temporal fear, screaming and horror? And the masks in the world's bins fall down 'staircases of culture' with Edvard Munch's 'Skrik' (The Scream) repeated as Wes Cravan's 'Scream' before being glutted as 'the plastic scream'. Guy Fawks is repeated as a nightmare of Churchill's 'V' (for Vendetta) before marching to join 'the plastic scream'. Heavy garden and market Pumpkins, so apt for winter soup and shimmering spooky glow, are pressed out in bright sheen as yet another 'plastic scream', and so on, and so on, and so on. It is one thing to enjoy a shared carnival of fear, but using plastic seems to add an element of nightmare that stays after the indigestion from the sweets has long gone away.
