Connections in Phoenix - The joy of having a long lens means a tiny bit of skyscape with power station structures and cables make for abstract beauty.
Life is about connections....those lines that keep us tethered to the people that love us most. No matter where we go in life or how many new connections we make with the people that cross our paths, we are irreversibly linked to those who have loved us from the beginning. Watching my parents with my children and the connections they are making fills my heart with such gratitude and love.

While we are tethered to our flawed definitions of success in cities, it’s the lesser worlds of the countryside, which we wrongly perceive as lesser, that bring about the real joy and our inner connection. Sights to behold in Alwar, Rajasthan.
Have I told you today how much I love you?
Like the sun kissing the morning, soft and tender, bathed in golden stillness. Like the wind embraces a leaf, light as a feather, yet so deeply rooted.
You are the light that chases away shadows,
The rhythm that dances through the quiet.
You are my guide, my heartbeat, my sanctuary. Have I told you today how much you mean to me?
With you, even the coldest winter breathes life again, And each fleeting moment transforms into timeless beauty.
You ignite my soul with a touch,
Turning the ordinary into something extraordinary. Your presence lingers like the warmth of a sunrise,
And your love is the fire in the heart of my world. So let me tell you once more, And every day that follows,
More than words could ever convey...
I love you in a realm that transcends mere existence.
I love you as if our connection were written in another plane of being. ♡

(2) trains streak past the former connections from the IRT Times Square Shuttle to the IRT Broadway-7th Avenue Line. Part of the original IRT system, these connections brought trains from the Upper West Side down to City Hall via the Lex.
This location gave me good practice on long-exposure shots. I also wanted to make sure I got this shot before it disappears: major changes are coming to the Shuttle in the near future.

““Our love is fire and water, like a volcano and an ocean.
It is silent understanding, mutual trust, sharing and forgiveness. It is loyalty in thick and thin, we support and care for each other day by day, to restore sanity and continue with the happiness of being together, recharging each day to overcome a reality that is hard to live, because true serenity is we find each other each time, in each other's arms. in our diversity, we complement each other, making ourselves one entity, of pure love, directed by the soul. no words are needed between us, we feel the same wonder, of being close, even if distant, at all times. you are life flowing through me, and vice versa, almost touching the divine.”
You know you're bored when you're reading and CRACKING UP at the Missed Connections section on Craigslist. hahahahahahahahahhahahaha
On a side note, not that I know a lot about film, but this stuff looks way older than only 10 years expired.
30 Days of Perception - Day 12
I was stopped in my tracks by the beauty of these embedded stones and noticed their structure and texture and the variety of tones. The moss growing between them created a connection.
Letting go of preconceptions. Everything is worthy.
2018 Project 52: Week 20 - Connection/Relationship
I wanted to take a different approach to this week's Project 52 theme. There are so many fairly obvious ways to treat the subject, but I yearned for something different.
My muse came up with this idea as I was walking around a thrift store looking for still life props. I spotted a bin of generic silverware and these two caught my eye... the only two that weren't the standard stainless steel. A connection!
Fifty cents later, they were headed home with me.
Pretty happy with the outcome!

Create a photograph that illustrations connection.
Hands are not yet the same size so holding hands is hard but we're getting there with a speed of 24 hrs/day!
First idea of a "connection" was two connected carts of a freight train. But after trying too long to get a decent photo of that I gave up and focused on the most important connection. The unbroken chain that built this somewhat broken civilisation.

For this fourth edition, Triennial Bruges: Spaces of Possibility looks for the city's dormant potential. How can a UNESCO-protected historic city, where preservation is central, deal with concepts such as change and sustainability, and how can contemporary art and architecture create a new framework for this?
"Common Thread" by SO–IL (USA) together with Dr Mariana Popescu (TU Delft) and Summum Engineering. In the garden of the former Capuchin Monastery, a fabric that spans two neighbourhoods and creates a new urban connection.
Inspired by Bruges’ history as a lacemaking centre, the US architecture firm is using weaving as a social, economic and formal binding agent. The site was owned by the religious order of the Friars Minor Capuchin until 2020. It is being opened up to the public for the first time through this work. The garden is located in the west quarter of Bruges and is part of a major revaluation project in the city.
Common Thread meanders like a curved line through the enclosed green space and accentuates new corners of the garden at every turn, slowly revealing the site to the public. The high-tech membrane consists of 3D printed and metal elements, tubes and textile segments made from recycled PET bottles. The fabric skin, machine-woven at Delft University of Technology, plays with black-and-white plain weave patterns, creating a play of light and shadow, open and closed, in the process.
With this modular work, SO–IL introduces the public to a place in change and guides visitors from Hauwerstraat to Klokstraat, where they can continue their journey after an unexpected exit.

Voor deze vierde editie gaat Triënnale Brugge: Spaces of Possibility, op zoek naar het sluimerend potentieel van de stad. Hoe kan een Unesco-beschermde historische stad, waar behoud centraal staat, omgaan met concepten als verandering en duurzaamheid, en hoe kan hedendaagse kunst en architectuur hier een nieuw kader voor scheppen?
"Common Thread" door SO–IL (R) in samenwerking met Dr. Mariana Popescu (TU Delft) en Summum Engineering. In de tuin van het voormalig Kapucijnenklooster, een weefsel dat zich over twee buurten uitstrekt en een nieuwe verbinding in de stad maakt.
Geïnspireerd door de geschiedenis van Brugge als centrum voor kant, gaat het Amerikaanse architectuurbureau aan de slag met weven als een sociaal, economisch en vormelijk bindmiddel. De locatie, tot 2020 eigendom van de religieuze orde Minderbroeders Kapucijnen, wordt via dit werk voor het eerst ontsloten voor het publiek. Het bevindt zich in het westkwartier van Brugge en maakt vandaag deel uit van een groots opgezet herwaarderingstraject in de stad.
Common Thread slingert zich als een gebogen lijn doorheen de groene binnenruimte, waarbij het zich telkens opent naar nieuwe hoeken in de tuin en zo stapsgewijs de plek aan de bezoeker blootgeeft. Het hoogtechnologisch membraam bestaat uit 3D-geprinte en metalen onderdelen, buizen en textiele segmenten die uit gerecycleerde PET-flessen worden vervaardigd. De stoffen huid, machinegeweven aan de Technische Universiteit van Delft, speelt met zwart-witpatronen die recht/averecht worden geweven en hierbij een spel van licht en schaduw, open en gesloten, maken.
Met het modulair werk laat SO–IL het publiek kennismaken met een plek in verandering en begeleidt bezoekers van de Hauwer- tot Klokstraat, waar ze na een onverwachte exit hun tocht kunnen verderzetten.

My friend Amy and her girls. Could they be any more precious? This was taken with my strobe reflected off the white wall... my diffuser was broken. :(
Welcome to the life of an accountant. The weather is crappy and I'm stuck inside so this is what you get for Connections. This is one of my two Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Mini Hubs which I use to connect lots of different apparatuses to my computer. I'm laughing because my computer looks like an octopus. But hey......at least I'm connected !

The wire, this great enemy of the photographer. In how many photos of landscapes I must to erase those ugly overhead wires that crossed them fromf end to end! And in towns, looking for impossible frames to avoid the wire handfuls that go from a house to another one crossing the square in front of the church. Luck we have of the digital photography, that facilitates the work to us to eliminate the annoying.
And then in the old walls of the old houses, those frightful coupling boxes from which they leave wires in all directions. I say that could disguise them a little more.
But the limit is when they try to put the wire in a house and perforate in the showiest part of the facade, in a voussoir of the arc of the fore door, like in the photo of above. Was no another better place by where to enter the wire? And this one is not the only perforated door arc of this town.
In Spanish, the word that it defines the connection with a network of provision like electricity, water or gas is “acometida”, that are past participle of the verb “acometer”. By chance this verb also means “to attack” or “to assault”. It will have something to do with it?
“Madam, I come to mount the attack of the telephone” would have to say the technical installer. Because mainly the worse attacks are those of the telephone. You prepare with all the care of the world the place by where they will connect you to the telephone network, and soon arrive the installer and make pass the cable where he feel like it, and if you insist on which it pass through where you want, or you pay or he refuse in round. That I say who in the case of the photo, had been easier to perforate the wood of the frame of a window that not a stone of at least 30cm. of thickness.
Anyway, thank heavens that is proliferating the wireless connections. Now lack to see how it feels to the body as much electromagnetic radiation floating in the air...

El cable, este gran enemigo del fotógrafo. ¡En cuántas fotos de paisajes he tenido que borrar esos feos cables aéreos que las cruzaban de punta a punta! Y en pueblos, buscando encuadres imposibles para evitar los manojos de cables que van de una casa a otra cruzando la plaza por delante de la iglesia. Suerte tenemos de la fotografía digital, que nos facilita la labor de eliminar lo molesto.
Y luego en las paredes de las casas viejas, esas espantosas cajas de conexión de las que parten cables en todas direcciones. Digo yo que podrían disimularlos un poco más.
Pero el colmo es cuando pretenden meter el cable en una casa y perforan en la parte más vistosa de la fachada, en una dovela del arco de la puerta principal, como en la foto de arriba. ¿No había otro sitio mejor por donde entrar el cable? Y no es éste el único arco de puerta perforado de este pueblo.
En español, la palabra que define la conexión con una red de suministro como electricidad, agua o gas es "acometida", que es participio pasado del verbo "acometer". Casualmente este verbo también significa "atacar" o "agredir". ¿Tendrá algo que ver?
"Señora, que vengo a hacerle el ataque del teléfono" tendría que decir el técnico instalador. Porque mayoritariamente las peores acometidas son las del teléfono. Tú preparas con todo el cuidado del mundo el lugar por donde te conectarán a la red telefónica, y luego llega el instalador y hace pasar el cable donde a él más le conviene, y si te empeñas en que pase por donde tú quieres, o pagas o se niega en redondo. Que digo yo que en el caso de la foto, hubiera sido más fácil perforar la madera del marco de una ventana que no una piedra de al menos 30cm. de grosor.
En fin, menos mal que van proliferando las conexiones inalámbricas. Ahora falta por ver cómo le sienta al cuerpo tanta radiación electromagnética flotando en el aire...

He stepped out, and slowly spun around, 'I do believe we have not properly been introduced!' He held out his hand, 'Machiavelli' he said referring to himself ' and you are...'
'Vincent,' i said curtly.
'Well yes of course i already knew that, that was a dumb question, for i know everything about you.'
He shook his head as if clearing his mind
‘You see Vincent I have power! More power than you could possible imagine’ He walked over to one of the storage units, beckoned me, and opened up the door. ‘This is why I have power, inside each and every one of these containers is-’ he was cut off by four gunshots.
‘That’s my rescue, I believe,’ I said smugly.
