Silhouettes of contemplators looking to colored empty, waiting night fall quickly, So that they are no longer seen and can live their marginal ilusions
Silhuetas de contempladores, olhando para um vazio colorido, esperando que a noite caia logo, para que não sejam mais vistos e possam viver suas ilusões marginais em paz.

One evening whilst exploring the city I came across a procession of monks who were celebrating Visakha Bucha, a ceremony commemorating three key events in Buddha's life: birth, enlightenment and death. Each year thousands of pligrams walk up Doi Suthep mountain overnight to bring in the sunirse at the temple on the mountain.
The fountain outside the International Center of Photography in NYC. Spent some time in the museum, contemplating the images. A few different exhibits at the moment... One a retrospective of Weegee, the great noir crime photographer in NYC. I came to know him originally from the album cover of an avant garde jazz freakout album with John Zorn called Naked City - LOVE that album - an amalgam of jazz, noise, spy vs spy movie tunes, and a little of everything else... And the album cover by Weegee, a crime scene photo of the most noirish sort, a single dead man from mobster violence on the streets of NYC... SOOO Naked City...
Another exhibit by a Swedish photographer in Paris who photographed the transgender population in the red light district. He had such an eye for beauty, and the beauty was interesting because you did not know (without reading the placards) whether the subjects were male or female or both... That's an exhibit you wouldn't find here in NC very easily...
And finally, an exhibit that was a sort of history of photography - This one really hit me. This one literally had me teary-eyed, even though I had seen the photographs before. There was an image taken during the civil rights fights in the south of woman with the full force of a firehouse greeting her with physical obscenities - in pain, yet she held her ground, she stood firm in her conviction. And a photograph of a Guantanamo detainee, black cap on and wires connected to his outstretched hands - you couldn't see his pain, but you know the look on his face was of torture - he may have been guilty of crimes, crimes he perpetrated based on his beliefs, but where is the line in how he is treated in return?...
And finally, as cliche as the image is, the power of the last image I saw... Mary Ann Vecchio kneeling, crying out in anguish and disbelief, over the body of Jeffrey Miller, who was shot for standing his ground, standing up for his beliefs...
I believe in the power of the people. I believe in equality, justice, and the rights of the individual, and the rights of the community. I believe and I will fight for those beliefs; And I will fight for you to have your beliefs, however wrong or right I believe they are...
And the remarkable things about photographs are that they can capture moments that remind us about why those things are important.

Surely my stockings are all right but I'm thinking about doing a check on them anyway just for fun...
There was a large group of sadhus that had assembled in front of a camp at the Kumbh Mela. They were provided free food every evening.
Hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas. Now time to look back over the year and remember all the good times.
Once again, Microsoft has taken most of my morning computer time to perform a software update. My laptop is still running very slowly. So, here are some bison ruminating in the field! I'll be back on Flickr when I can.
I'm glad to have met Monique, an amazing person to hang out with and genuinely just an awesome friend! The shoot we did yesterday was short but we had a lot of nice shots :)

A life-size statue of St Catherine of Siena stands in the chapel of the Dominican sisters at Bushey. The sunlight this morning made it an ideal subject of chiaroscuro.
