"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! :)

Here's a re-edit of a image from one of my favorite nights ever behind a camera. It was truly an amazing night in Cannon Beach, Oregon shooting Haystack Rock. We showed up with low expectations for good light, but we were blessed with amazing light this night.
sorry for overload today :) ((could not get sleep)).

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.

During my most recent trip to London I decided to stay overnight in a cheap, central hotel. As I would be arriving at the hotel quite late and leaving early next morning location was more important than a pillow menu or a trouserpress.......
Having done a bit of research I found a room at the Z Hotel in Holborn for £45. I had low expectations as I'd booked the smallest windowless room they had but as it was a Sunday I was given an upgrade to a larger room with window. A photo of that to follow but here's the impressive lobby / breakfast room / bar that greets you as you enter from Kingsway street.

From the Hotels website, "An unrivalled location in the heart of London's Midtown. Ideally placed for those wishing to explore that bit more of London. Visit the British Museum, explore Somerset House, shop in Covent Garden or just take a stroll along the Thames. This unique 197-bed hotel in the heart of Holborn makes you wonder why you never heard of Midtown in the first place."

CRETE
Knossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Greek Κνωσός, pronounced [knoˈsos]) is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and considered as Europe's oldest city.
The name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported by tradition and by the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site, then a large mound named Kephala Hill, elevation 85 m (279 ft) from current sea level. Many of them were inscribed with Knosion or Knos on the obverse and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse, both symbols deriving from the myth of King Minos, supposed to have reigned from Knossos.[5] The coins came from the Roman settlement of Colonia Julia Nobilis Cnossus, a Roman colony placed just to the north of, and politically including, Kephala. The Romans believed they had colonized Knossos.[6] After excavation, the discovery of the Linear B tablets, and the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris, the identification was confirmed by the reference to an administrative center, ko-no-so, Mycenaean Greek Knosos, undoubtedly the palace complex. The palace was built over a Neolithic town. During the Bronze Age, the town surrounded the hill on which the palace was built.
The palace was excavated and partially restored under the direction of Arthur Evans in the earliest years of the 20th century. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed de novo an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
The site of Knossos was discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos. The excavations in Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and his team, and continued for 35 years. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
Since their discovery, the ruins have undergone a history of their own, from excavation by renowned archaeologists, education and tourism, to occupation as a headquarters by governments warring over the control of the eastern Mediterranean in two world wars. This site history is to be distinguished from the ancient.
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.

Here is Ms.Lume's (Lucy's) photo of the same butterfly at the same flower that she posted yesterday. Pretty neat coincidence, eh?
I just joined this Flickr 888 pool, with no expectations, just for fun. Starting that day at dawn, there's plenty of time to take perhaps a postable shot before the Olympics start at 8:08 on that day, 8/8/08. I trust they've got a lot of judges. There are already more than 7,300 members.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday, even though the pool isn't accepting new members and wouldn't let me in. :-(
I hope to catch up with you all later. Thanks for dropping by.

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.
