San FR Ant Sis Co
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
I left my heart
In San FR Ant Sis Co
High on an Ant hill
To drag away
A place where little anty cars
bring crumbs from sandwich bars
And drag hearts from
dumpsters blue
I see my share
of picnic anties
My heart is weary
But here's my theory
A heart is but a dream
Each life must have a theme
But when the ants
come to the picnic
And drag my heart
Up to that hill
For all the anties and bullies
And for that heart of mine
full of holes and dying
Keep on trying
to beat

In The Spirit
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Go go away in the spirit
Fly through the wind troubles away
Cradles of time in its acclimate
Meeting the shape of air and day
Exchanging sweet messages of souls
Gliding the rays asunder
Uninhabited forests and roles
Like light feels in sky of thunder
Elements of nature calling
Singing a holy hymn of being
Soft notes in melodies falling
Chorus of freedom seeing
Everyday should be a new adventure and a new beginning ~ KissThePixel2019

Eyes
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
When the day is onto the night
And my feelings are scattered around
In the depth of its embracing flight
With my heart in it nowhere found
When the clouds are drifting on high
And my shadows are growing here still
With a passion fallen to nearly die
In pointless mixtures of nothing to fill
I know my love is like clouds in sun
Rivers of going to the endless sea
Every thought is then on its own run
Departing all the steps inside of me
Love song that came and had to go wrong
With a dream in its black and white blue
Something to sing in an ongoing song
Everything there except the part of you
Sky of its falling onto the deep
Flowers of moments that never were here
Eyes of our emotion in bottomless sleep
The lights of our feelings once so near
You gave me dreams that never seem thru
All is thus endless and sleeping with stars
The days of continual all belong to you
Times are a changing deep wounds and scars

Feeling Bad
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
Feeling bad
When the world's feeling good
Just the opposite of how I should
Upside down
When the world is right side up
In the middle of a happy world
What's so good about
Feeling bad?
What's so bad about
feeling good?
Strike a match
Light my world
Turning paper into ash?
To the winds I must go
And now I'll never know
What the hell
Is so good about feeling bad.
Life is full of surprises, some good, others bad. Try keeping things in perspective, and explore opportunities to solve one problem a time. Stay positive, and look up... you might see life in a different way!

A scenery I recently captured from Thira, Santorini island, Greece
(I took this photo with the Samsung NX10)
Santorini is a volcanic island located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast from Greece's mainland. It is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago which bears the same name. It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2 (28 sq mi) and a 2001 census population of 13,670. It is composed of the Municipality of Thira (pop. 12,440) and the Community of Oía (pop. 1,230). These have a total land area of 90.623 km2 (34.990 sq mi), which also includes the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi, and Christiana (all part of the Municipality of Thira).
Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion, destroying the earliest settlements on what was formerly a single island, and leading to the creation of the current geological caldera.

Stories Start and Stories Go
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Each day of my life a major lift
Feelings made sure to come
Like clouds that somewhere drift
And everything airy is from
Music of day and dreams gone by
Feelings somewhere inside lost
Moods of the clear glowing up sky
Something of deeper dark tossed
Stories start and stories go
Everything on like a new dawn's glow
Faith is as strong as you made it be
Filling the moments alone
Everything come that you need to see
Each in the stepping stone
Yesterdays were like I knew before
Longings of everything inside
You can not be of nothing absolute sure
For life is a road to ride
Stories start and stories go
Everything on like a new dawn's glow
You have my heart and its beat
Telling you from all its tries
Sometimes throbbing in lonely street
Flying in its low and highs
Rivers I knew were wasted away
Going through the streaming arch
Yesteryears comes giving someday
Through every fresh coming march
Stories start and stories go
Everything on like a new dawn's glow
I have a wish just much as you
Never to let go or dry up
There's feeling out drew to new
Filling my empty old coffee cup
Rise to a moment give it a shoot
To the hours of starless night
There'll be moonlight with its thought
Setting the day once again right
Stories start and stories go
Everything on like a new dawn's glow

I am once again in Cuba for 2 weeks of scouting locations for a future photo tour. This was shot in front of the Capitolio, still under refurbishment after 5 years. With so many big hotels opening around the Parque Central, the classic car drivers have setup their camp there to catch all the tourist. Outside the city center, hiring a local "maquina" is still by far the cheapest way to get around. The business of taxi hires is still going strong with an estimated 60,000 of them, but the road ahead is full of uncertainties as the local economy adjusts after the collapse of Cuba' main fuel supplier, Venezuela.

In photography, light and shadow are key. One cannot be without the other. Shadows can add a lot to a photograph. They can emphasize emotions, create surreal images, and be used in a variety of ways. While strong use of shadows in color photographs tends to be mostly used in silhouettes, it can also appear in a variety of other forms in color photos as well. In my opinion though, shadows are most powerful when used in black and white photographs.

To the Open Sea
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
To the open sea
Of the faraway
I’ll be going on free
To meet a new day
Every feeling’s low
Shall rise to high
In letting me know
The openness sky
Like green growing
When summer is here
And yet not knowing
What comes or goes there
An open door's waiting
To be closed again
In our times debating
Hope and ordain
Earth is always tying
Our future to the past
And steps on modifying
As time becomes dust
Each song’s for a while
Tying old to the new
Its open doors beguile
As we are going thru
Peanut Butter and Cheese Dog Biscuits, edible for me too, but I don't put butter in Dog biscuits so they can be a little plain for us mere humans, although not to Daisy.. the smell of the peanut butter and cheese coming from the warm biscuits on my worktop is driving her mad....
2 cups whole wheat or plain flour.
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.
1/3 cup smooth natural or organic peanut butter.
1/2 cup of grated cheese.
water or milk
Optional: 1 egg (great for a shiny coat)
1. Heat oven to 160c or 320f for a fan oven
2. Mix together the flour, baking powder and grated cheese in a big bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter and hot water until smooth. Slowly add the dry mixture and mix well. Then add the milk or water to make a dough, if the dough is too dry or wet add more flour or water/milk accordingly.
4. Place onto your worktop and roll to thickness required for your cutter.
5. Cut with a cookie cutter and place baking/cookie paper on a baking tray.
6. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Let cool, and let the begging begin....

I'll Be Sailing to the Open Blue Sea
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
I'll be sailing to the open blue sea
Where the silvery waves are going out
With the wings of fresh morning that's quite free
Through the daydreaming without any doubt
Every hope shall be rolling tall and brave
Within billows so high in the shaking
Through rippling of waves the ocean gave
To the in fjords and gales in their making
We're winners to new corners of the world
To the faraway islands and their shore
With every circling wave that there whirled
And are in need of fresh dreams to explore
I'll be sailing to hope in my open boat
Bringing music from my heart that I wrote
Brighten up the strawberry with a little chocolate!

The Moments of Happiness
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
“The moments of happiness...”
You must remember this
As the light becomes less
Memories are a true bliss
Flowers that a day did cast
Treasures belonging to your heart
From time’s gone past
And their dissimilarity apart
If you miss their meaning
You shall fail to remember
Yellow-brown’s autumn streaming
That comes with September
And everything that’s right
That approaches or comes near
Each in its possessing light
Like a rhyme from nowhere!
The moments that go by
Set all their unique disparity
Like the morning waking sky
That’s born from chance and clarity
If you miss their meaning
You shall fail to bear in mind
The way of each true dreaming
That your day has left behind

I shot this while working on a yearlong photo-a-day project which also coincided with a lot of changes in my personal life, reflecting on the important things, and setting new goals. There's nothing more helpful then taking time to walk the countryside and surrounding yourself with nature, in order to listen to your soul.

Let Us Together
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Let us together spin
Songs to our own heart
From the feelings inside in
Not in any old rampart
This is all perfectly me
This is all perfectly you
Spinning our tunes in free
Something that everyone should do
Let us together sing
Dreams on our own way
Always some new there bring
Turning their catch to play
Love songs of never ending
Always they are so true
With every song voice blending
With their emotions coming thru
Let us together touch
Stepwise and far apart
‘Cause words mean so much as such
Both in their end and start
Let us just sing for a reason
Filling up certain space
All time songs and season
With full of catch and phrase

This is where I used to revise my books when I made my degree in Journalism. I didn't use a fisheye lens. I have actually assembled some 14 photos I took when I was there. The original image is huge (12000 pixels wide).
The above photo has been shot with the Samsung NX10, which has been provided to me by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. If you're interested, here is an interview I gave to Samsung imaging
----------------
The "Mont des Arts" (meaning "hill of the arts") is a historic site in the center of Brussels, Belgium. The showcase square was created for the Universal Exposition held in Brussels in 1910. It featured a park and a monumental staircase with cascading fountains descending the gentle slope from Place Royale down to Boulevard de l'Empereur.
The original square was destroyed during the post-war construction frenzy known as Brusselization; between 1954 and 1965, the square and its surroundings gave way to massive, severely geometric postmodern structures such as the Royal Library of Belgium and the Congress Palace.
The Mont des Arts offers one of Brussels’ finest views. From the vantage point on a hill, the famous tower of the Brussels Town Hall at the Grand Place is clearly visible.

Love Is All In Its Endless Time
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Love is all in its endless time
Touch of feelings like leaves in fall
Each moment has its prime
Till the next one to you will call
Every boulevard is in its style
At very first - only a lonely go
Not until you have walked its mile
Shall you its heart truly know
So much is in time chasing
It seem to nowhere flowing
And hard for the mind tracing
When there is so much on going
The houses with hearts to fill
Momentarily on in their space
Coming and leaving at their will
Capturing knowledge many ways
Endless thru squares and flourish
To be informed or not to be
Gaining what one shall accomplish
If one can for a moment see
The apples fall to garden’s earth
And give a brain-wave sweet
For futures and new science birth
Tomorrows may sincerely treat
I have the sun
You have the waves
It's a a beautiful May day
Everyday should be a holiday

Mystery of the Square Stone
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Mystery of the square stone
As centuries drift on by
And the stone is there alone
With earth dust and the sky
Flowers have grown awhile
Giving their seeds of age
For occasions and a style
Each in their own laid stage
The playful circling rising
On every occurrence’s tide
In flow of their surprising
When moments awhile abide
A pondering of its mystery
That no one really knows
From strange times and free
No memories ever shows
Though we are still looking
Trying to resolve and find
The past is on blocking
Eyes of knowledge blind
As seeds will come and grow
To make this stone lost
In tomorrows’ coming slow
Where history has crossed
How do you play Naughts and Crosses?...
Have a great Christmassy Saturday...

During a recent workshop with Alex and Rebecca Webb, I had to submit one photo inspired on the light in London. I made it my daily quest to get out on the streets every day just before sunset in search of a special moment. This is one of them, taken from the Southbank, facing the Palace of Westminster, with its iconic Big Ben.

P.S : Please excuse my "wild imagination".
............................................................
About Valentines day:
Do we need a day for love? We can debate for hours, but it is a fact, this consumer world has an influence on us. And we all love to be part of celebrations. So we like days like Valentines day or Love Day. Here comes another Feb 14th.
So why, when and where this Valentines day started?
It all started with Saint Valentine. The saint of Love.
Valentine's Day is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.(Courtesy : Wiki.). It was sort of not that popular celebration before the influence of" World wide web". It is in fact and online celebration later extended to street. Now every remote corner in the earth has something to sell related to Love that day, card,flower or some emotions (:P).
Praveen asked me yesterday do you need something for Monday??? I was surprised to see even a non materialist person like my other half is "concerned" about that day. Whether he will buy me anything tomorrow that is another question.
From an artistic POV we are thinking creatively. But what is truth behind? We are spending a small amount for Love. "Few bucks"-Can we love buy with that few bucks???Dont know.

Escape
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
If I go around in circles
I will surely drown
At the end of this tunnel
Will I ever be found?
Can I escape
This puzzle maze
I need some java
It's one of those days!
Late for work
Can't find the light
On this highway to hell.
Help me escape
I keep missing the sign
Next time I'll be smart
And I'll find the way
Just don't be a smart ass
And say have a nice day!
