Carré exudes innocence. I'd first met her years ago, through a friend, and that was always (having never really had a conversation with her) the impression that I came away with.
But then she joined my stable of models, we had several conversations of increasing depth, and I realized that image of innocence belied a deep reservoir of things far more complex.
And I'd like to think that shows from shoot to shoot, that each time we shoot I get closer and closer to some core truths about her in my photographs.
Which is probably why I enjoy photographing her so much, because every time I do, there's this intent of scratching away at the surface, to get to know her better, to display something more significant in the images.
As they once said in The State, I seek knowledge, and its bastard son, Truth.

A Rufous Hummingbird digs deep in search of nectar, it was an amazing scene of activity as the morning broke and they began to feed
mileage 23
because my tire and odometer are being changed, I will be back to '0' on the next ride so remember this number, 87. I'll call this the pre-season and tack that mileage on at the end of the season.
But until it warms up again, I'll be picking up sticks.
I like to watch the gulls hunting for crabs.

Please help identify this lovely bird. It's not that small, about the size of a pigeon....
With a bit of "digging" on my part, it could be a female Northern flicker.
Nagarkot , Nepal! It was chilly morning. Went for a walk in Nagarkot, I wish I had take many more photos.
With Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, and Nathan Myhrvold (former CTO of Microsoft). The founders of Google and Twitter were to my right for this TED Braintrust lunch.
An usual confluence of invitations had me dining with Gates for lunch and dinner on the same day (coincidentally, philosopher-king Daniel Dennett was also at both meals).
After we sat down, Gates lamented the setback from the Muslim clerics who preached that polio vaccines made the girls infertile: "The anti-vaccine movement has killed many people. It's frustrating. But we are working with the clerics. It is very hierarchical, so we can start at the top. In the next three years, we will either conquer polio, or we won't. It's a very important time."
St Catherine's Chapel was built in the late 14th century on the top of what is now known as Chapel Hill and was commissioned by either Abbot Henry de Thorpe or Abbot William Cerne. It is built of local stone with heavily buttressed walls and a stone barrel-vaulted ceiling. The original stone slab roof was replaced in 1983 with Clipsham stone slabs. The hilltop situation of the chapel typifies the cult of St Catherine, who was widely venerated during the Middle Ages. The chapel was dissolved in 1539 and no longer used for regular ecclesiastical services. However, the structure continued to be maintained and formed a well known local landmark which was also visible from the coast.

Messing around with a new technique, doing combined natural light and flash focus stack of unknown parasitoid wasp. Was observed taking massive beetles much larger than itself from a tree in a controlled fall and dragging them into a burrow in muddy soil next to mangroves.

Digging into History
Young Hollish then spent the rest of the day in the Castle's vast library, and after climbing several ladders to find unused, dust covered cabinets locked with strange spells and heavy iron bands, she came away with a family history of Nightrose.
No such traditions as the Duke described were mentioned, and certainly nothing about flaming puppies of any kind. It did however mention that every other Solstice, the Duke's bride had to be sacrificed to appease "The Vengeful Harpy of the Woods"...whatever that was.
It said this Harpy was kept imprisoned just beyond the tree line towards the coast and she resolved loudly to go investigate it that very evening.
The Duke, sneaking around behind her...was less than pleased about that resolve, but grateful that being young and mostly innocent she tended to speak all her thoughts out loud as exposition.
