Just thought I’d break the monotony of editing Dreamtime and upload something a little simpler, as well as share some musings.
If you’re lazy to read the following (because I tend to get wordy) feel free to navigate away from here, I’ll forgive you if you do.
Oftentimes and of late, I’ve been revisiting the familiar question, which being, “Why do I blog?”
Sure, Flickr isn’t exactly a blog, but its mechanics comes really close to photoblogging. You upload a photo, and it also allows you space upon which you can spew word vomit, a feature that I abuse all too well.
It’s been a while since I blogged though, in the pure sense of the word. I remember starting my blog when it was the hip thing to do. Oh man… that was when the word “hip” was actually in.
I think every blogger would ask that question at least once. Most would wonder if it were all pointless, and some would think about closing down their blogs. I tend to get sad when it comes to that though, it's as if I lost a friend. Even though my blog has stagnated (thanks to flickr), I still can’t bring myself to delete it.
So, why do we do this? All the posting? All the commenting? All the faving? Is there really a point to it all?
I’ve come to realize that my motivations for starting a blog from that many years ago, to why I post regularly in present time, generally does not change. Perhaps the prior reason for starting differed, but above all the reasons are interconnected.
It’s pretty simple, really.
Connections.
I believe we are all connected on some level, even if we are apparent strangers in this weird world we call the Internet.
Like every other user in the community, I love all the comments, the faves, the eprops and whatnot. I love to read about other people, and know how they think and learn to empathize with them. My heart secretly sings out when I find people who sympathize.
Because at the end of the day, I believe that when you make a comment on my page, or even stop by because something on my page caught your attention… we have made a connection.
Told you I get wordy…

I took this while out for a walk, Its interesting what you find when your not looking for it!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.

At the center is a three-acre highway lid crews are building over SR 520. The lid will feature landscaped open space, a regional transit hub, an improved Montlake Boulevard interchange and connections to local and regional biking and walking trails.

A random snapshot of one of the electrical utility poles and the two-phase service drop electrical power line to the old abandoned Natco Oil Company office building off Main Street (Old Highway 51) in Brookhaven, Mississippi.
Despite the fact that this pole line looks like it's carrying two separate sets of three-phase power lines (two crossarms), it is in fact carrying a single "three-phase" electrical circuit as these "two circuits" connect at both ends. These old copper lines are part of the original circuit. This circuit along Main Street is one of the major three-phase cross-town circuits that distributes power to many parts of Brookhaven.

The Crescent City Connection (CCC), formerly the Greater New Orleans Bridge, consists of twin cantilever bridges over the Mississippi Rivier .It is tied as the fifth-longest cantilever bridges in the world. It is the farthest downstream bridge on the Mississippi River. CCC is also the widest and most heavily-traveled bridge on the lower Mississippi and was the first bridge across the river in New Orleans itself.
Construction of the first span began in 1954 and was completed in 1958 as the Greater New Orleans Bridge. Construction of the second span began in 1981 and opened to traffic in 1988.
Four days later, about 31,500 gallons of light crude oil spilled from a tank barge that hit a towboat, closing a 65-mile stretch of the river.
This was shot in Trinity Newfoundland where I strongly suspect two if not three of these boats were built locally by hand.
E ti sei opposto all'onda
ed è li che hai capito
che più ti opponi e più ti tira giù.
E ti senti ad una festa
per cui non hai l'invito
per cui gli inviti adesso falli tu.
Metti in circolo il tuo amore
come quando dici "perché no?"
Metti in circolo il tuo amore
come quando ammetti "non lo so"
come quando dici peché no.

One morning in early August 2015, I woke up with a terrible pain in my stomach. Later that day I found out that I have a couple of tumors that need to be removed. Two months later I found my housemate Florian laying in his bed in the same position and in kind of a pain when you know that it is serious. He had cancer. Months of fear, pain, worry, sadness. We share an experience of a difficult illness that we were dealing with together and at the same time.
