( Here is an excerpt from the story in my mind)
Dorothy sat, contemplating the ruins of her world. War, corruption, and indifference had brought about a poverty not seen in decades. Not only the monetary kind of poverty, but one that brought desolation to the spirit of her people. As the powerful storm brewed behind her, floodwaters threatened to overwhelm the dam, a reminder of the destruction of Wicked Katrina's reign. Dorothy felt pulled to get off the wall. Utopia was right around the corner.

How am I going to survive this semester? It's only the beginning and already I'm super stressed. But tomorrow my directing class is having callbacks for our 10 minute shows. Can't wait to cast my play and start working on it!
hope you all are well :)
S311 contemplates its future whilst on display at Thirlmere as part of the RTM/TrainWorks "Diesel Day". With CFCLA gradually renewing its locomotive fleet, older locomotives are gradually being sold off.
The guy on the left habitually sits in the plaza in Harvard Square taking on all comers for $2 a game. He's been there for as long as I can remember and, judging by the times I've watched, there are few who beat him. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting there waiting for someone and got to watch him in a different mode. This youngster played with him about half an hour, watching the eyes of the master to decide whether or not a move was correct. The teacher was gentle with him, soft-spoken, and never talked down to him... explaining in detail why each move was a good one or a bad one. Then, a while later, I watched the same sort of lesson with an older teenager. I guess Harvard University isn't the only place thereabouts where real learning occurs. :-)
On a gorilla trek in Rwanda.
We visited the country to document the opening of a new water pipeline into a rural community with the organization World Vision. Our last day was open, so a colleague and I traveled to the Uganda / Congo border and spent the day hiking through the jungle searching for gorillas. We were able to get remarkably close to this family.
My goal with this framing was to make it feel like a film. This gorilla was on the move. I saw this as the gorilla entering the frame.
"Passing Cloud (after Constable)" is a sculpture by the American artist Spencer Finch that is currently being exhibited at Turner Contemporary in Margate. It is made of large sheets of theatre filters crumpled and shaped like a large cloud and suspended from the ceiling, subtlely changing colour depending on the natural light that bathes the large exhibition space.

This is a 3 image HDR (+1 to -1 EVs) created using Photomatix 4.0.2
The inspiration for this assignment came from an advertisement I noticed in a mag last week.
In the inspiration image... the wine glass was on a piano, it was night and the reflection of the bar featured in the glass. I loved the concept and so badly wanted to try something similar.
The focus is the reflection of the tree-line in the wine.
I'm learning as I go here!
Appreciate your feedback SO much!
Wasn't sure what this precious little bird was, with the pretty blue wings and tail and spotted chest. It's an Eastern Bluebird Juvenile - doesn't have its orange breast yet. Spotted at Shawnee Mission Park, Shawnee Kansas.
