The other day I posted an old picture from 2009 showing the outfit I wore for my first time out in public so I thought I'd keep the theme running. This picture was taken the following year when I finally decided to say goodbye to my hairy legs by shaving them so I could wear natural tights and saying goodbye to my black bob wig and go for a long blonde look.
I remember when I looked at this picture all those years ago thinking "do you know what I may even be pretty". It got my pulse racing and made me all the more committed to exploring my feminine side in even greater detail.

the new doll.
rescued from the antique fair today. I couldn't afford the old $300+ ones, but she was waiting for me.
and I took some 4x5's of her with paper negatives and with regular sheet film.
we'll see what happens when I develop them.

In The Beginning...
Every woman who has been pregnant still carries cells from her foetus/fetus within her bloodstream. Cells from the pregnancy will reside within the mother’s bloodstream and organs for the rest of her life. Even if the pregnancy was terminated or if there was a miscarriage these said genes would remain with the Mother. There is a name for this so-called condition, it is called microchimerism , which is named after the Greek chimera.
Defined as a mythical, monstrous fire-breathing animal that is composed of the parts of three animals : a lion, a snake and a goat. Also an illusion or fabrication of the mind; especially : an unrealisable dream, "a fancy, a chimera in my brain, troubles me in my prayer" — John Donne
A holler is defined as a section of land between two or more hills; typically in rural areas. Part of Appalachian coal railroading is the track, mines, housing, waterways and roads are all crammed into these hollers. Here I wait for 29 loads of coal that the Big Eagle RR is delivering to the CSX interchange at Winifrede Jct. County Road 77 is jumping from one side of the track to the other here, something it does 3 times in the six miles between the Junction and mine as they both follow Fields Creek - a tributary of the Kanawha River. .
Pei-yun 佩筠 worked with me on a client shoot for an athletic apparel company. She was not just a model in a jock's getup, but a former collegiate champion swimmer with eight gold medals to her name. She was a joy to work with, and selecting the best images is difficult because she did so well.

“The tragedy of cats, is not the breadth of their love, but the brevity of their existence.”
Ten months ago, my lil’ diaper-dashing Baby Simba left me behind, and nothing has felt the same since. In the 10½ of his 14½ months on this earth that we shared, he transformed my life in ways I never imagined. He had a magical way of uniting everyone together across distances, stitching hearts with invisible threads of love that stretched far beyond the horizon.
This month brings an unbearable symmetry: we’ve now been apart as long as we were together. I can’t begin to fathom this fact. As I move through our shared spaces I feel utterly unmoored, half-present, barely recognising the person I was when he was here.
And yet, in the heart of this ache, something unshakable remains. A tether to what was, and to all that he was. My grief is proof that he was here, that we loved fiercely, joyfully, wholeheartedly.
I carry him with me always, in every way a heart can hold on. In each breath, each memory, each story I tell, he’s there. I keep him in my thoughts and heart, and I even carry a tiny tuft of his fur nearly everywhere I go; it anchors me when the ache grows too heavy. So small, so delicate, so precious… just like he was.
Death has a way of reducing a life to its ending, as if that moment could define it all. But Simba was so much more than how he left. His story lives in the countless moments before, and I will keep telling them. As long as I live, my lil’ diaper-dashing Baby Simba lives too… wild, wondrous, and forever tucked within my soul.

RIP Baby Simba 🌈Aug 30, 2023 - Nov 17, 2024
Note: Simba was born with a rare condition called hypoganglionosis and was abandoned in a box at just six weeks old in January 2024. Despite nearly 11 months of dedicated care and a brave recovery from colon surgery, a severe parasite caused irreversible damage to his digestive system. He passed away at 14½ months old, deeply loved and never, ever alone. 💔
thick blanket,
veiled the sky,
dawn light prevented,
mist coving,
tiny water drops covering,
every leaf,
branch,
twig,
flower and web,
clarity of the world reduced to detail,
droplets hanging,
defining the hidden,
able to see clearly,
what usually unseen,
time to stop,
breath,
time to reflect,
ponder,
dream,
once mists clear,
return to labour,
serving humanity.

Patina- is defined as a surface appearance of something grown beautiful especially with age due to the various oxides in metals.
War... War never changes...and cool old trucks also never changes their cool :P
This actually has nothing to do with Fallout ... When I did my @newelementary review parts fest, I threw this truck in the background. It was actually built many months prior....
About a year ago @1saacbricks reached out and asking for feedback on his awesome T1 ... yeah... you were as confused as I was, I'm not exactly known for cars, so asking for feedback on cars was kinda odd... though he was more concerned about this concept of 'Patina cars' - After reading up and some back and forth suggestions on working on his, I thought it would be fun to try it myself... so I built this old school truck.
It's not as fancy as Isaac's, and not based on a particular truck but I was pretty happy with it with a few days work....
And it basically sat there waiting for Issac to finish his part of our patina collaboration ;)
beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
