I bought body paint and decided to use it somehow. This shot was supposed to be very colourful and motion should have been frozen but in the end I was so tired after work I've set shutter speed for the shot to be bright (didn't think too much about it and forgot I wanted shot to be frozen lol), made shots and that is the result... I've made 78 shots and I didn't like any of them lol. Needed a lot of processing to make it interesting. Hope you like it :)
Great afternoon trail walk with Dakota. The weather was a little grey - so this was my best shot with a little colour.
So I really had no idea where I was going with this when I started. It started with the title of Nabokov's (<3!) autobio titled Speak, Memory. Then it evolved quite a bit into this.
Here's what you're looking at (from the lower left corner):
-My box filled with ticket stubs, random ripped notes by friends, restaurant business cards, and other hodge podge that I cannot bear to throw away.
-My teddy bear that has made quite a few appearances in my stream so far! I love him to pieces (and will be devastated when he does fall to pieces seeing as his seams are beginning to rip apart).
-A picture of my mom when she was about my age.
-My Bart Simpson night light (I don't use it anymore :P) but I've had it since I was 3.
-A book I wrote in 1st grade about my wonderful piano teacher. Bless you, Mrs. Cathcart.
-The teddy bear I received senior night of marching band. He has my high school colors wrapped around his neck.
So there you are. A snapshot into my memory :)
Wow, shooting outside this morning before going to work. Was a bit cold to wear just a t-shirt, but it's suppose to get warmer this afternoon and tomorrow. Weather forecast says 15˚ to 20˚!! WOOOOHOOO
Ok, I know technically this is a bit over-exposed and I have a branch in my face. Sue me! ;)
Have a nice day!!
Sorry it's another bird shot, but the weather today has been not compatible with expensive photographic gear! This shot is taken handheld through window glass.
After waiting for over three weeks, the goldfinches have finally discovered the Nyjer seed feeder... I thought it was about to be a waste of money. Note the sleet and snow coming down, they need feeding! Day 69/365 View On Black
"If only, if only
I’d seized the moment when you loved me
You’d be here with me
Reflections of a wasted love
You don’t know what you’ve got until she’s given up
I had to lose you to learn
The clock’s been tickin’, the clock’s been tickin’
You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s gone"
Click to view on black, I think it's better that way.
How come time feels fast and slow at the same time? It feels like days are crawling.. but then I look at the number on my 365 and realise over 2 months has gone since I started. I have a feeling this will be one weird year time wise.

I took a Flamenco class a while back and LOVED it - this shot is dedicated to the amazing instructor we had - Alicia Morena di Palma.
For the class with Dave:
I worked hard on this shot and it's still not what I had envisioned, but this is the best I can do in a short time. I bought the black shirt at Target yesterday, today I got the red backdrop, I drove to campus to pick up my Flamenco shoes, and I sowed the frilly sleeves onto the shirt. I hope it was worth it...
3. Dance. A wonderfully visual, high energy activity. I expect this one to be a real challenge because just like dancing itself, it sounds easy but getting a good coherent image will require creativity and forethought.
The crows are all busy making their twiggy nests in the still bare winter trees. I thought I would try to capture them all around the nests but they don't like intruders even at 100 yards. In any case this shot of an alarm cawing crow seemed like a better picture.
I'm feeling like crap today.
I woke up at 4 am because of a stomach ache. I was able to go back to bed at 4:30, but ended up waking up again at 5 am. I stayed up until about 8 am and took a small nap until 8:20 or so. My eyes are red, baggy, and feeling blurry. Hooray!

Note to Nate: Sorry, buddy. Just because today is day 69 doesn't mean I'm going to get into a wifebeater and wet the nipple parts for you.
This is a bit of stretch for this week's theme, but I'm going with it anyway. The theme is 'About Me.' This is about me in two different ways.
The first is I love snow. I even don't mind shoveling out, read as use the snow blower :), after a snow storm. Watching it come down is one of my favorite things and the world looks so pretty under a nice blanket of snow.
The second way it is about me is more pressing, we are potentially getting 5-9 inches of snow on top of frozen rain. Gonna be a bit icky out there tonight and maybe tomorrow. Granted, not to the degree that a friend of mine in Canada expereinced last week. They got 2ft of snow. Hi Shelly!
There you have it. I'll try to do better justice to the theme during the week :)
Another that is much better on black and large. Press l to see.

I have decided to throw in the towel.
I can't keep up with it anymore...its like everyday, something new is preventing me from getting a shot.
Or being able to post it.
So this is the end.
I started this naked ( www.flickr.com/photos/msdiamondfarah/3194729398/ ), and Im ending it as such.
Goodbye 365, you're just another failure.
-D
PS: no, this is not the end of me, no worries.
I'll start a new project when I know I'll have a whole year to post without gaps.

Day 69 of the Olympic Torch Relay, 26 July 2012.
I've been thinking about doing abstracted portraits as part of the 365 project for a while, this is my first attempt. I was going to do it all in code but ended up just using Adobe Fireworks (which is a bit like a baby Photoshop, but with some good vector & web tools). For the pool police (me included!) or other interested folk here’s the process:
1) Take a close-up self portrait: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dumbledad/3113141344/
2) Crop to just the face with no background
3) Resize the image to 5 x 7 pixels choosing "nearest neighbour" as interpolation algorithm
4) Move, pixel by pixel, the image to the new setting.
5) Resize back up to the original size (or there abouts) again using "nearest neighbour" as interpolation algorithm. (NB I had to reselect and remove the background to get crisp white.)
Here are the results: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dumbledad/3113141356/
I gave up on building a pixel bar-graph – working out a pixel match and an ordering which looked good took too long. But at some point in the making I had it laid out as a mosaic, which looked great and would be quicker so I swapped to that.

Day sixty nine. {Explored #226}
(8/26/2008)
Had a photoshoot with Michelle that day. She actually took this shot, but I edited it.
She's a better photographer than I am =]
Day 69:
Do I dare?
It’s been done to death all over the internet.
Yet as I type this I haven’t even taken a
photo and it’s 39 minutes before our walk
and I need to get going if I’m to make it home
before Chuckhiro starts (Chuck & Heroes).
Okay, I’m going to do it. For today, you’re going
to get gummy bear orgy. Enjoy it, because I
probably won’t do this again. If I’m creative, I won’t
have to do again :D
PS: Which one is your favorite?
I wish I could show you the photo that inspired this (I wish I could still see it), but you'll just have to go enjoy the rest of his work (and 'like' his page if you're on the Book of Face). I'm talking about the one and only Renowned Monkey Lover, Steven Miljavic. He makes social media much more fun. He's also one hell of an artist. Since my tribute the other day turned into one for someone else, I had to try again.

couldn't spend more than a second on this shot. Much wetter than I thought it was going to be. This is the hielenman's umbrella under central station in Glasgow
69 of 365.
15 of 100x. Theme: Close-up.
Today was down to the wire but I feel I did a relatively good job saving it in post-processing.
Motivation, please come back.
Upwards At 45º
...Four hundred metres across
And hanging like a football field
Over the valley of the stone circle
Wondering what the crop will yield
For the mothership has come
For the mothership has come
Who's she goin' to take this time?
Right now tell me who she's goin' to claim...
(Julian Cope, 1992)
This is going to be the last in this series of song homages, but I will be coming back to the idea again soon! (I've still got a huge list of possible titles to work through :) ).
Julian Cope is another of those polymaths that I admire - ridiculed by many, he's been following his own path for nigh on 30 years now, and long may it continue. Yes, he's slightly bonkers - but since when did we want our rock stars to be sane and mundane? Push the boundaries!
This track is taken from what is widely considered his magnum opus, 1992's 'Jehovahkill'. An essential item of rock recording history.
(Track available on the 'Jehovahkill' CD, Island Records).
Oh, and because I seemed to be confusing people with my esoteric choice of song titles (I'm sorry, I am a music bore) - I've rolled together the songs which have inspired the last 8 days worth of pictures (Day 62 to Day 69) into Episode 1 of Fwumpbungle's 365 Radio Podcast. (I say 'podcast' but there's no talking on it... my deep sultry northern tones would just be a distraction from the music.) You can download it here for a limited time only (right-click and chose Save Link As...). (update: link now expired, sorry - I needed the space).
Enjoy! (Oh, there are a few rude words in a couple of the songs. Just in case you're sensitive to those things :) ).
I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can’t believe the love I see
My fears behind me,
gone are the shadows and doubts
Heading to the #yycphotobook launch!
This week's theme is 'About Me', so i like to show my place, shot with my iPhone 4S and the Hipstamatic app.
Here i'am spending most of my daytime, woking for my advertising agency triying to strike out new ideas for my clients.
But today is sunday, so i have to check my flickr mails and write some comments.
By the way, English is not my first language and i'm afraid that some of my sentences sounds confusing - so please excuse me.
Wish everbody have a wonderful weekend.
Brithday party! Elja invited four girls to do a photoshoot. Make-up artist Yana Toa came to join us and made all these girls even more beautiful with the help of Nienke. She models regularly for me.
Of course these girls were shy at first and my goal was to show their inner beauty as well. Had to learn them how to 'smize' smile with their eyes and how to pose. Five different girls and body types, all beautiful! We had a great party all together :)

RIP Westcott 32" shoot-through umbrella....
This is a test shot of what Day 69/365 would have looked like, the final shot would have consisted of my boots (with fill light, rime light etc)with an awesome bokeh in the background with the tittle "Do you see what I see" turned out to be, well, just an awesome bokeh with some sort of silhouette mid frame…
Austin Texas, a city where the wind can go from 1 miles to 36mph in 5 seconds…Unfortunately, my first light modifier, the Westcott 32" shoot-through umbrella didn't survive the wind, one of my CyberSync receivers got away with minor injuries and my SB-600 owes his life to the Westcott 32" shoot-through umbrella…
See the destruction here

Day 69 of the Olympic Torch Relay, 26 July 2012.
This picture may be difficult for some to look at, but suck it up! it's real life, bitches!
This is the end result of a search through my lingerie drawers for a pair of fishnet stockings. Then I remembered that I had already worn them this week and they were in the laundry.
It kind of hurts when the kind of words you write kind of turn themselves into knives and don't mind my nerve, you could call it fiction, but I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear.

The younger one got his glasses today... yep.. and he was so excited about it!!! He kept running around the house as if he got a new toy...!!! He thinks glasses are uber cool.. kept on asking me if he looked cool..!!! While I was trying to tell him that he got glasses 'coz his eyes were going out of whack...!! Well, not so bluntly but I wasn't a bit happy when I heard the news a few days ago... I was hoping the kids would get my genes when it came to vision..
He doesn't know that he's stuck to this for life now...
Good Night all....
First it's all fun and games, but when you are down to the last chair, it's war!

Week 11 theme: ABOUT ME 10 March-16 March
So, about me…
I am a very private person. I actually thought that I don't share a lot about myself here (I'm not sure how I feel about this). To my surprise, as I was browsing through older photos on Flickr, I discovered that I actually did share quite a bit. Proof??
- Many self portraits
- Even many more photos and info about my wife Gretchen
- our "ironically named" cats Fluffy and Killer
- "morning routine and other things"
and many... many more.
So, what else can I come up with?
These are my copies of my favorite book of all time, "The Little Price". Thinking about it, this is not really original because I talked about this and related things in another photo almost exactly 3 years ago.
I first read this book when I was little as part of French learning (French is my second language, neither it or English are my native tongue). At the time, I enjoyed it a lot as a children story. As I grew up I found that it grows up with me every time I read it. Very deep and complex life lessons are hidden in there. At my age, I still encounter situations in everyday life that brings me back to what I read in there. Highly recommended if you never read (in original French if possible, the english translation is still pretty good though).
