Bonus meteor shower in midst of awesome Milky Way. ? Eta Aquarids. South Sur land of wonders. I had been trying to capture the Milky Way for the last year. Finally found the secret ... get up at 3:00 am. First time camping in decades.
And then found myself in the midst of a minor meteor shower that I had not fully realized until post-processing. Beam me up Scottie.

Before the dance begins, before a single note is heard,
All the hours, all the pains, all the repetition, all the stretching,
waiting, watching, working, learning, and trying
is pulled up through every particle of your being
into that one perfect moment.

"A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside...when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone."-anon
This was my first photoshoot since the passing of my dear sweet mother last month. This image really captures the emotion I feel at having recently lost my mother, and then seeing the expectations and joy of a soon to be mother. Life comes into a full circle and I am reminded of another quote that is on my mind...."If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello."
This is a shot from my first attempt to do the levitation trick with a model. The model is Kellyn and her sister Kam modeled as well. We started with ten balloons but they kept popping or floating away! This shot was taken in my grandmother's backyard on a Friday evening that was supposed to be sunny but was extremely overcast. Good thing I brought my tripod! If you ever had to shoot in overcast weather, you know that it is difficult to photograph a moving subject (without flash of course) without blur. Well, the best advice I learned from this shoot is to bring my tripod every time!
Like the title says, I had high expectations for this shoot. Levitation seems too easy to do, but when you get up to do it... lets just say it isnt as easy as it looks.
I definitely plan to levitate more people soon! I am obsessed now!
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them! Favs too! :)

It's time to stop making everything about you. Look for opportunities to give to others.
Today, seek out opportunities to give your energy, your kindness, your patience. Maybe you'll let someone talk to you a little longer than usual about their problems, if that's something that makes you uncomfortable.
Take actions that you know will make other people feel good, with no attachment to the results, no expectations. You're not doing it because you need to look good or be validated. You're not going to change someone's life with these actions. Forget about all that. That's ego. Do it because you need to step out of your world of comfort.
He stood there and stared. That look says "Do you have any peanuts?" (I'll remember to bring some the next time I'm in this park.)

I live about a mile from the CSX mainline in Huntington, WV. I used to venture trackside regularly, usually in the evening to catch freights in that nice golden hour light. But over time traffic got thinner and I just about quit going.
However, over the last four trips (over two weeks) things seem promising. First trip, six trains, then two, then three and today three. Either traffic is up or I should start buying a lottery ticket each time I feel an urge to go trackside.

After a while I started looking back at some photos I had picked but hadn't had the time to edit. This made the cut and I like how it turned out.
