* See it in black. Or not. I don't care! Oh, and I was gonna go for some pedantic title like "Beams of Hope" or something silly like that, but opted against it.
From a recent trip down to northern California and then drive back to Seattle via highway 101 along the Oregon coast.
To this day one of my favorite Redwoods images is from my pal TJ Thorne, "Endor Redwoods" (500px.com/photo/52480544/endor-redwoods-by-tj-%22tj-thorn...) but I wanted to find my own comp at this location so I made the trip. I was hoping for some awesome conditions with dense fog and prime rhoddies.
Of course that wasn't the case! Probably a high pressure system off the coast because it was nothing but clear, blue skies and not a single day with fog. Either am or pm. And so, these were the best conditions I found. And I actually like this quite a bit!
Christmas time is the time of hopes and expectations. Cleo is hoping for lots of presents, preferably eatable presents, of course. As she can't write a wish list she is working on transmitting her wishes telepathically.
Cleo only agreed to pose for this Christmas picture under the condition that I respect her dignity and won't do anything "stupid" with her photo. I hope the result meets her approval. :)

It will always be me. However much I tried to fight me in order to comply with the expectations of society, ME was never far from the surface and given the opportunity to be me I grab it and revel in it. 😊❤️
The mongrel is an optimist. In yet another example of hope triumphing over experience, he waits patiently for a morsel of whatever is making the delicious aroma on the other side of that door. He sees the humans coming and going, mostly in a hurry, sometimes in pairs, but none offer him anything to eat. Sometimes being ignored is best, because he is usually greeted with a boot or a broom or sharply uttered tones, but the stomach is a powerful motivator, and he believes good things are yet to come.
Experiments in lighting and narration, and I built a new dumpster.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF WOMANHOOD
The constant having to measure up to an image has taken its toll as it does for all real women who are told normally subliminally that they are too fat, too skinny , shouldn't wear this cant wear that. this doesn't look good, that doesn't look right, You should this you should that,

Everyone expects. Each one for something else
or someone.
And now, the expectation belongs to everyone.
Yet, each one with their own expectations.
Who will sit in the empty chair?
Attente
Tout le monde attend. Chacun pour quelque chose d'autre
ou quelqu'un.
Et maintenant, l'attente appartient à tous.
Pourtant, chacun avec ses propres attentes.
Qui s'assiéra dans la chaise vide ?
These works are sometimes conflicting with our ideas of how art should look and if it meets the expectations of the observer. It is clear that this art does not respond to the sciences of art academies, does not imitate the real world, nor does it use conventional perspectives.
Mirit Ben-Nun transmits his inner world, giving rise to an infinite number of artistic compositions, springs of dreams, inner sounds, different meanings of his reality and perhaps of his own unreality. His art is not separated from life and the real world, it is his exchange between his self and the spectator. She expresses her thoughts with a unique style and approach.

(Moab, Utah) The pride of Arches National Park; Delicate Arch, stretches towards the Milky Way.
It was shooting a night sky in Arches after a crash course in star photography by a kind stranger, that I knew I loved photography. Thuus, returning to Arches had been high on my list. This was my first time at Delicate Arch, and I had set high expectations for myself, wanting to get a shot that required the top of my skills to pull off. Having just started with light painting, I am still awed by how easy it is to totally and utterly ruin a shot by just the slightest wrong move of the torch.
Carefully planned (finally a cloudless night, let's go now now now!) and researched (as in happy coincidence) to make sure the moon was under the horizon and the milky way in the right position. I was really eager to finally try my skills out at this wonder of nature.
So, I got a bit cocky and jogged ahead as Tor was still getting his gear act together. Naturally, I ended up losing my bearing around half way there--some parts of the route is over slickrock with only small cairns to guide the way. Now, there are not many lights in the middle of nowhere, and some of the places it gets pretty steep if you wander off just a little. My nifty iPad USGS map app with detailed trails came in handy as I finally decided to let my night vision get destroyed by looking at the light screen, and before long I had backtracked and met up with Tor again, who deciseively led the way... in the direction I had just returned from.
It might have been a good idea to visit the Arch during daytime for a little scouting, before setting out in the middle of the night. But, in the end we found our way and we promptly forgot this learning point.
Delicate Arch is imposing where it stands in front of a deep chasm and with a large bowl-like depression in front; I was impressed at the steepness of the slope leadning up to it, as well as parts of the trail which was a mere half-meter hacked into bare rock with a serious drop on the side–this is not your boardwalk-laid path for blue haired grannies–a refreshing change from many of the popular National Park sights around the US.
Canon 15mm Fisheye on camera, to get the most sky possible and to allow for 30 seconds exposures with minimal star movement (which I still cant bring myself to do. I want my sky full of round dots, not trails). The wider field of view makes each star smaller and thus allows you to expose longer. It takes a little experimenting, but when you get to know your lens it is simple to get shots where you can view the photo full size and see round dots of light from millions and billions of years ago, traveling across the universe just to end up on your CCD chip:
- shoot at your favorite focal length at max (or auto) ISO starting at say 10 seconds (Tv mode - it is so dark that your aperture will max out anyway), inspect the photo on your screen looking at the form of the stars only and adjust the shutter speed as necessary. As you get to know the threshold for when they start to smear (this photo is just on the edge, and the fisheye distorts the corners), step down ISO if you can and you should get a decent exposure. If you have some ISO steps to go before your noise sensitivity itches, try to decrease the aperture a little as lenses might be sharper at say f/4. Forget about a sharp foreground (f/8 or higher) until cameras shoot at ISO 1.6 million or thereabouts; which should take something like five years?
The Arch is painted with a faint red LED flashlight. It is amazing how little light is needed to get results--more often than not it is a challenge to not get excited and over-do it ("just one more swipe of light..."), the results being patches of washed-out, over-saturated, glaring, nauseous color.
I used a wired Canon remote and shot series of 5 30 second exposures with a little break between each to vary my position and technique, then checked the results and tried five more, repeating ad nauseam. Many of the shots have ghosts of yours truly waving a light around, even this image reveals my position...
Post-processing in Photoshop and Lightroom. Blend of two exposures that had varying lighting on the arch, desaturated the red a bit and upped the contrast.
Learning points: Being two and shooting long exposures painted with flashlights is painful for at least one person as just one stray light ruins the other shooters photo, and due to the fact that while social, sharing a scene is more similar to territorial war than teamwork. Bringing beer and shooting in turns alleviates the problem somewhat. Just make sure to stay on your feet for the return trek.

This is a commentary on how models are usually forced to do things they don't want to within their career. This explains why there is a sense of vulnerability, and a bit of awkwardness in the emotion. This was inspired by Marc Jacobs gluing his model's foots onto his shoes resulting in multiple deformations and severe suffering, after seeing that I really wanted to speak out about that. I took a different route with the theme however, and focused more on how people display the body, some are comfortable, and some don't want to.
I almost went with the mushroom shot. But it’s been so long since I’ve seen this much of the sun I figured everybody has lower expectations now so I went with the sunrise shot instead.
