"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! :)

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."

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'm perplexed when encouraged by full-time transwomen to be my "true self." What? To do so would mean that everything I've been before now isn't true. Crazy! It also presupposes I'll not change in the future. How can anyone say who their "true self" is when there is still lots of life to experience?
Do you agree we need to get away from popular language of authenticity and simply understand we are all works-in-progress and be happy, if not excited, about it?
I am tired of being made to feel less than authentic because I fail to meet expectations of others. I’m still me, regardless, and pretty happy about it.
When the comic character Popeye famously said “I am what I am, and that’s all that I am” didn’t he insist others accept his state of being, regardless of what that may be?
Popeye, after all, was a one-eyed, lantern-jawed, vegetarian, sailor, with mutant-sized forearms and fists, yet no biceps, who wore the very same outfit every day for decades. However, he breaks out of his largely imagined life situation prison and asserts his “true self” – whatever that needs to be at the moment.
Shouldn't we be the same?

This photo was taken by Cassandra Storm at a strip mall while on a shopping trip and photo safari with girlfriend Alex Forbes. The chair just happened to be there so I thought a seated pose would be different. Also different are my regular eyeglasses. They are rimless so not immediately obvious. I no longer need spectacles. Instead, I've become one. Ha ha ha!
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.
It has seemed a long wait for the opportunity to wear this dress but the exhilaration I felt on the day, exceeded my expectations.
