Happy New Year.
Not been an easy one but if I was reminded of anything it was to get out there and live! I am now entering 2019 with a clear heart and a positive mind. So out with the old and in with the new, ring out the false, ring in the true as they say.
Oh and I will keep taking lots of photos. This is my favourite of the year.
Wishing everyone a very happy and positive 2019 x
I've always believed that every interesting photo needs at least one primary subject. This is usually the thing that inspired us to take that photo.
Of course there is no limit to the number of interesting "things" that we could include in one photo, but there should always be at least be one obvious one.
If the viewers of our photos can't immediately identify what it is they're supposed to be looking at, then they probably won't spend much time looking at them.
What do we do when everything looks equally interesting (or boring, depending on your outlook on life)? We could either zoom in and focus on the most interesting thing, or we could attempt to include as many interesting things as possible.
Everything in this panorama looks interesting to me, yet nothing stands out as being more interesting than anything else. So I'll completely understand if you don't understand why I took this photo. There is no primary subject here.
There is, however, only one primary emotion here... you either feel it or you don't.
Petros Dohban was a young genius from Bosnia, Eastern Europe. He came from a poor village and his education was poor. His house was poor. The food was poor. The poorest of all though were the relations Petros had with his family members. He didn't like people and was generally considered a total hermit who only left his room for food.
All that time he spent in his room however, was devoted to self-study. Petros was gifted with the brain of a genius and learning was an easy thing for him, something that was amplified even further by his surroundings.
At some point in his life, after conducting an experiment that nearly caused his house to burn down, Petros was kicked out and told to not come back until he had the money to repay the damages done to his room. Wholly unprepared for this, Petros quickly found himself in trouble. He wound up becoming part off a maffia syndiacte and served as a"surgeon". He would perform illegal surgeries for the members or manipulate dead bodies so that they could be untraceable back to them. His skillful precision with the scalpel and general knowledge on about everything earned him the nickname "Herr Doktor" and he made very good money this way.
His unnatural precision had not gone unnoticed by other parties and he was soon approached by a British man, a Lord of sorts, and invited for a sitting. Curiosity got the better off Petros and he accepted. This sitting didn't go as he ever could have envisioned and his beilwderment was great when he saw himself transformed into an armored form.
The new soulcaster started working for the British lord and as such... Herr Doktor would end up becoming the infamous surgeon he is today...
New moc. The coat comes from some kind of dress-up doll for girls. (The pain I go through for mocs, seriously) I hope you enjoy the moc. Cheers!

A spontaneous shot of Juliet looking over the Atlantic from the island of Gran Canaria, off the west coast of Africa. We had just arrived there in the middle of a cold winter in England and the sea air was wonderfully warm and fresh.
Composition note: I have deliberately placed her almost at the centre of the frame (against the "rules") to create a feeling of stillness, a suspended moment in time - which was how it felt...

Sitting on top of Potato Chip Rock in San Diego contemplating life as time march's on in the stars.
I've had this image in mind for some time and finally got around to trying it out. The clouds started moving in as I was shooting the star trails so I did not get the long exposure time I was hoping for, that just means I need to go try it again.

"Yüreği denize bu nedenle benzetiriz, çünkü denizin saflığı ve berraklığının değişmezliğinde yatar. Onu hiç bir fırtına alt üst edemez. Hiçbir ani rüzgar, onun yüzeyinde bir çalkantı yaratamaz, üzerine hiçbir uyuşuk sis yayılamaz. Hiçbir şaibeli hareket içeriden karıştıramaz denizi; kayarak hareket eden hiçbir bulut onu karartamaz. Daha ziyade, sakin uzanmalıdır deniz, derinliklerine değin berrak.
Denizi bu haliyle görür ve denizin saflığı üzerine uzun uzun düşünürsen yukarıya doğru çekilirsin. Tıpkı denizin, sakin ve derinden berrak bir şekilde uzanırken göklere özlem duyması gibi, saf olan yürek de sakin ve derinden berrak olduğunda iyi olana özlem duyabilir. Tıpkı denizin yalnızca göklere özlem duymak suretiyle saflaştırıldığı gibi, yürek de yalnızca İyi olana özlem duyarak saflaştırılabilir. Tıpkı denizin, saf derinliklerinde göklerin yüksekliğini aksettirdiği gibi yürek de sakin ve derinden berrak olduğunda, saf derinliklerinde iyi olanın ilahi yüksekliğini aksettirebilir."

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't somewhat inspired by season two of American Horror Story. Hopefully this looks okay on everyone's screens. I've been having trouble with editing lately due to making the transition between Windows and Mac. I'm pretty sure I need to calibrate my screen, or change some settings in Photoshop. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Sorry for the long hiatus! I've been getting situated in a new city and a lot has changed for me in the past six months. I hope to get back in the habit of shooting and posting more frequently. I hope all is well with everyone in the Flickr world!
