26 by 26 Challenge #15: Take a portrait without showing the face. – Tom Broadbent
Way out of my comfort zone to make portraits other than of my family, and to ask to make an actual portrait without showing the face would even be harder to explain, so I've got this offering instead. On holiday in Bali ! Even in paradise there are lots of workers ! Although to be fair this lady tends to the Balinese altars on the hotel grounds. In B&W because the lush colours would distract and now the scene is almost timeless, and a bit surreal
Explore highest place #105 on 07/10/13, thanks so very much for the views, comments and faves ! I'm overwhelmed by how many people have viewed this and all the faves !
Taken 1/12/2021. And To Explain The "Hamler" Magnet. This Agency Is Responsible For Policing The Village Of Deshler And The Township Deshler Is In, They Are Contracted To Patrol The Village Of Hamler. They Don't Use The Magnet Anymore, I Just Thought It'd Be A Nice Touch!
Please let me explain...
I was looking for my wife and her class during the local school fair. I popped my head around the corner in a classroom to discover I was not at the right place, but I did notice these sweet little kids sitting as the large desks. Wrong place (and lens) but, wait a minute... what a lovely image this could be, so I did the same again but this time with my camera while kneeling so I was at the right hight.
The view from the Monorail platform is my favorite view in all of Disneyland, which explains why I always head here to test some new gear or methods...Friday evening I did exactly that, with my new Rokinon 14mm f2.8 lens.
My vision of Disneyland (as seen through my camera) has always been a wide one, where I was most happy with Canon's 10-22mm lens on my cropped-sensor 7D. Most of my pals were already shooting full-frame cameras which left me a feeling a little "inadequate" when viewing similar scenes from both cameras. When I (finaly!) switched to a full-frame camera a couple of months ago, I bought Canon's 5D Mk III with a 24-105 f4 "L" lens which left me a little cramped in my compositions at Disneyland. Additionally, I found myself having to re-learn tricks that I had mastered with the 7D and was floundering a bit, feeling like I had a new toy that was broken.
Time being a premium this year, as I am a father of a high school senior planning college, etc., I have not been able to get into the Park for some quality shooting and tinkering. This past Friday found me at Disneyland able to play and experiment and I finally am feeling at home again.
Since I am most comfortable shooting wide, and hoping to find my sweetspot again, I went looking for a wide lens to use until I win the Lottery...with a suggestion from my friend Corey Dorsey, and after borrowing his lens a couplke of times, I commited to buying the Rokinon 14mm f 2.8 and, so far, I am completely happy with this little gem of a lens. With manual focus only, and manual aperture controls, it is already comfortable to me because I manually focus anyway when shooting landscapes...Also it is extremely affordable. Happily, with f 2.8. I was able to stop all the motion in this dynamic scene to acceptable levels.
This lens has been criticized for some unusual "mustache" distortion, but there are correction profiles available for Lightroom that fixed things right up...
All in all I am very happy with this lens!
robert explains geometry.
he pauses for a sip of tea.
an irate frenchman arrives,
"when you decide to know who
you are," he shouts, "let us know!"
my mother storms in and
throws a book of poems at
me,
"such lovely poems," she says,
"but all about death, all about
death."
i turn to robert and say:
"ya know, we was taught to be
more dispassionate!".
"yes we "was", he winks, "we're
jewish, right?"
i wink back, "that's what they say!
... more tea?"
he nods and we exchange cups.

This train may have originated in Wisconsin, that would explain the run -through Canadian National power on front.
This best explains it... Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. It's simple, slow, and uncluttered-and it reveres authenticity above all (www.nobleharbor.com/tea/chado/WhatIsWabi-Sabi.htm)
Not sure if i 'got it' or not, but i tried.
The tea cup is from Japan, a gift over 25 years ago from my Japanese sister (our exchange student in High school for about 14 months), and was broken about 13 or 14 years ago when a young 'un of mine threw a bouncing ball in the house.... :(
[The Big Move is scheduled for tomorrow. As I explained over the last few days, no more uploads from me until the 25th or 26th of November at the earliest, assuming all goes well, which one should never assume...]
In the little downstairs room I have been using as an office for so many years in this house, and where I sit today like every morning in front of my desk, the bookshelves are now entirely empty, except for the two large JBL speakers (too heavy for me to dare move by myself), the Revox reel-to-reel tape deck and the small Teac components of my hi-fi installation. They have been unplugged and the cables are all coiled. They look like the folded wings of a dark bird, ready to die... or to fly.
On my desk, almost nothing remains: the PC I will shut down and unplug soon after I finish uploading these daily photos to Flickr, the Bose speakers attached to it, the banker’s lamp that will soon go dark and wait to be packed by the movers when they come tomorrow. All the rest I have already packed away.
There is great sadness at leaving one’s world behind, but as it must be done, then I know that I am also very fortunate because there is a whole new world that awaits me, full of joy and promises, and since for me “a world” implies first and foremost a home base, I am happy, in those moments of separations and departures, to share not pictures of melancholy, sorrow and old dust on empty shelves, but the first photos of the place I will call home from now on. Fate (I would not presume to say the Hand of God as I am quite sure I’m not important or worthy enough for Him to personally care!) has granted me a wonderful new chance at living a life of happiness and love and trust, and even though I am not convinced I deserve such a bliss, I fully intend to make the most of it, and to bring into it all I have to offer, however meager that may be.
Part of the main façade of the house, which was built just before 1750. The whole attic, with its gorgeous period timber structure, will be insulated and converted into a loft-like space for which I will need to design layout plans to organize the space for my needs. The pool is lovely and means I can begin exercising again by swimming as often as I will want to.
Kimmy explained it to me, that the restriction of a corset is not, in small doses, an entirely displeasurable experience. That the constriction of the waist, the difficulty in being able to breathe, is not so different from other...activities in which breathing is restricted.
That, and it looks hot.

My exhibition ended safely without any accident.
Thank you very much.
I write every year.
Safety must be achieved not only by the Design Festa staff, but also by the cooperation of all the visitors.
Protect so many exhibitors. For that purpose, each cooperates.
This venue itself is a big piece.
I always feel that way.
All the visitors. Everyone of the Design Festa.
I am grateful from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you very much.

Two works were to be sent to women of art university this time.
Art college students have a deep interest in viewing works.
Also, I think they are not aware of them, but their eyes are clear.
Seeing the sparkling eyes, I am cheered.
Please do not forget your eyes forever.
No matter how old you are, the brightness of your eyes will not decline.
I have always written.
"I'm glad if my photo can support your day. "
The feeling does not change from now on.
See you well again.
At this place.
:)

U2 - No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oKwnkYFsiE&feature=related
There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

1
About the composition of the picture posted to Flicker. First type.
2
About the composition of the picture posted to Flicker. Second type.
3
About when I started Fotolog. Architect 's point of view.
Four
Why did not you have a camera so far?
Five
What is the coolest thing? The photo is as it is.
6
About the current YouTube bar. I also want to tell, I want to leave.
7
About Japanese photographers. Japanese YouTube bar is Pistols.
8
The composition of the photograph is sensibility. Meet the designers in Milan. Two questions.
9
What is a good composition? What is a bad composition?
Ten
What is the time to point the camera? It is slow if you are looking into the viewfinder or display.
11
Family photos. I can not take pictures with others. The inside of the subject.
12
About YouTube 's photographer. Camera technology etc. Sensibility is polished by reading books.
13
About the Japanese newspaper. A picture of a good newspaper is Reuters. If you continue to look at useless photographs, it will be useless.
14
About Japanese photographers. About the exhibition.
Summary. I wrote a novel etc. What I want to tell the most.

About work production 1/2
About work production 2/2
1 Photo exhibition up to that point. Did you want to go?
2 Well, what is an exhibition that you want to visit even if you go there?
3 Challenge to exhibit one work every month before opening a solo exhibition at the Harajuku Design Festa.
4 works are materials and silhouettes. Similar to fashion.
5 Who is your favorite artist? What is it? Make it clear.
6 Creating a collage is exactly the same as taking photos. As I wrote in the interview, it is the same as writing a novel.
7 I want to show it to someone, but I do not make a piece to show it. Aim for the work you want to decorate your own room as in the photo.
8 What is copycat? Nowadays, it is suspected to be beaten. There is something called Mimesis?
kotobank.jp/word/Mimesis-139464
9 What is Individuality? What is originality?
It is a flow of.
If you have time, please listen.

そのきらきらした瞳を見て、僕は元気づけられています。
その瞳をいつまでも忘れないでください。
どんなに年老いても、瞳の輝きは、衰えません。
いつも僕は書いてきました。
『僕の写真が、あなたの１日を支えられたら嬉しい』
これからもその気持ちは変わりません。
また、元気にお会いしましょう。

"Explain your actions!...My actions? - For ordering your troops against one another!"
--Captain Rex to Krell
The halberd is my favorite ancient weapon. A halberd is a two-handed pole weapon that came to prominent use during the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. The halberd consists of an axe blade topped with a spike mounted on a long shaft.
Wikipedia link with more info.
In everyday terms: it is a polearm that has a stabby bit on the top for the stabby-stabby-stabbing, an axe on one side for the choppy-choppy-chopping, and a hook on the other side so when the enemy tries to crawl away, you can hook them and drag them back for more of the stabby-stab and choppy-chop. (in reality, the hook was used for unhorsing the enemy). Basically, this is a can opener for someone in armor.
In We're Here!, we're sharing history that is all around us. And currently, this halberd is next to my desk, directly to my left. I hope this is acceptable for the theme because we've had two days of snow and I'd rather not get out in all that today.
I saw her from behind as she entered a coffee shop and had a feeling she might make a good subject for my photo project. I caught up with her just as she completed her coffee purchase and excused myself for interrupting her coffee break. I introduced myself and explained my project. She enthusiastically agreed and explained that she is a photography student at the university, just nearing the end of her second year. Meet Madi.
She asked about my project and liked the sound of it as she doctored her coffee. “I’d be happy to participate” she said with a smile. Lucky me. I thanked her, gave her my contact card, and invited her to step outside with me where there was natural light. As I photographed Madi, we were looking at the door of the university’s Image Arts Building. How appropriate. I said “You must spend a lot of time in this building” and she gave a laugh and said “No kidding.” I moved her a few steps so that a bright light fixture inside the coffee shop would not distract.
Photos taken, with the coffee shop windows in the background, we chatted. Madi is from Mississauga, a city on the western edge of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). She is very pleased with the program she is taking and said she was on her way to a “critique.” When I asked about it, she explained that her professor and her fellow classmates were going to critique her work which is studio portraits. I explained I know nothing about studio work and she explained that it’s tricky. “It’s all about the lighting which has to be carefully arranged.”
When I asked her what else she could share about herself she said “I’m a working student. I am full time at school and I work full time as a server in a bar.” I was quite impressed that she is able to manage it all and she said it takes good organization skills and time management. I can only imagine. When I asked what it is like being a server she said the money can be good if you are working in a good location and have the right shifts. I added “I suppose having a friendly personality helps a lot too.” She smiled and agreed. I found her very friendly and generous with her limited time and could imagine her being very successful paying her way through university as a server.
Madi’s advice to her younger self is “Don’t stress so much. Things will work out.” When I asked how she deals with life’s stresses she said “I go for a run and I take photos.” Although running is not something I can do any more due to sore knees, I do cycle and can relate to exercise being a good stress reliever. As for taking photos, I commented that Robin Wong, a street photographer with an internet blogging presence, has coined the term “shutter therapy” to describe the emotional benefits of street shooting.
I asked how her friends would describe her and Madi said “Probably that I’m nice and I’m organized.” I said I would take her word for it on being organized, but I could speak to her being super-nice and thanked her for taking a few minutes to be part of my photo project.
Madi’s message to the project is simple, yet meaningful: “Respect and equality.”
Thanks again, Madi, for being part of my photo project. I hope your coffee didn’t get cold.
I wished her luck with the critique. As an afterthought, I snapped a quick photo of Madi retreating to the Image Arts Building door for the critique..
This is my 830th submission to The Human Family Group on Flickr.

Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them
Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
Where can I turn? Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty I'm so unsure
Tell me why I feel so alone cause I need to Know to whom do I owe
Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
I thought that we'd make it
Because you said that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
will you be there to help me through
Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
I've lost my power
A compact experiment aimed at enhancing cybersecurity for future space missions is operational in Europe’s Columbus module of the International Space Station, running in part on a Raspberry Pi Zero computer costing just a few euros.
“Our CryptIC experiment is testing technological solutions to make encryption-based secure communication feasible for even the smallest of space missions,” explains ESA software product assurance engineer Emmanuel Lesser. “This is commonplace on Earth, using for example symmetric encryption where both sides of the communication link share the same encryption key.
“In orbit the problem has been that space radiation effects can compromise the key within computer memory causing ‘bit-flips’. This disrupts the communication, as the key on ground and the one in space no longer match. Up to now this had been a problem that requires dedicated – and expensive – rad-hardened devices to overcome.”
Satellites in Earth orbit might be physically remote, but still potentially vulnerable to hacking. Up until recently most satellite signals went unencrypted, and this remains true for many of the smallest, cheapest mission types, such as miniature CubeSats
But as services delivered by satellites of all sizes form an increasing element of everyday life, interest in assured satellite cybersecurity is growing, and a focus of ESA’s new Technology Strategy for this November’s Space19+ Ministerial Council
.
CryptIC, or Cryptography ICE Cube, - the beige box towards the top of the image, has been a low-cost development, developed in-house by ESA’s Software Product Assurance section and flown on the ISS as part of the International Commercial Experiments service – ICE Cubes for short. ICE Cubes offer fast, simple and affordable access for research and technology experiments in microgravity using compact cubes. CryptIC measures just 10x10x10 cm.
“A major part of the experiment relies on a standard Raspberry Pi Zero computer,” adds Emmanuel. “This cheap hardware is more or less flying exactly as we bought it; the only difference is it has had to be covered with a plastic ‘conformal’ coating, to fulfil standard ISS safety requirements.”
The orbital experiment is operated simply via a laptop at ESA’s ESTEC
technical centre in the Netherlands, routed via the ICE Cubes operator, Space Applications Services in Brussels.
“We’re testing two related approaches to the encryption problem for non rad-hardened systems,” explains ESA Young Graduate Trainee Lukas Armborst. “The first is a method of re-exchanging the encryption key if it gets corrupted. This needs to be done in a secure and reliable way, to restore the secure link very quickly. This relies on a secondary fall-back base key, which is wired into the hardware so it cannot be compromised. However, this hardware solution can only be done for a limited number of keys, reducing flexibility.
“The second is an experimental hardware reconfiguration approach which can recover rapidly if the encryption key is compromised by radiation-triggered memory ‘bit flips’. A number of microprocessor cores are inside CryptIC as customisable, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), rather than fixed computer chips. These cores are redundant copies of the same functionality. Accordingly, if one core fails then another can step in, while the faulty core reloads its configuration, thereby repairing itself.”
In addition the payload carries a compact ‘floating gate’ dosimeter to measure radiation levels co-developed by CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, as part of a broader cooperation agreement
.
And as a guest payload, a number of computer flash memories are being evaluated for their orbital performance, a follow-on version of ESA’s ‘Chimera’ experiment which flew on last year’s GomX-4B CubeSat
.
The experiment had its ISS-mandated electromagnetic compatibility testing carried out in ESTEC’s EMC Laboratory
.
“CryptIC has now completed commissioning and is already returning radiation data, being shared with our CERN colleagues,” adds Emmanuel. “Our encryption testing is set to begin in a few weeks, once we’ve automated the operating process, and is expected to run continuously for at least a year.”

These pictures took some patience because the squirrels did not seem to know (or care) what I wanted them to do.
They were at first very reluctant to even approach the origami model and when they did; they had a tendency to knock over their little friend. They also stole his peanut a number of times.
They did provide me with a few cute pictures and they sure eat a lot of peanuts in that time too.
________________
The origami itself is an old model I had partially folded a while back and forgot about.
I think it was going to be Michel Lafosse's model but I just finished it on my own, which explains the untidiness of it.
COSTA RICA - PARQUE NACIONAL CORCOVADO (FEBRUARY 27, 2013): The most biologically intense place on earth, established in 1975, Corcovado National Park boasts over 500 different tree species, which provide the necessary habitat for animals ranging from the very rare Herpy Eagle, to the extremely venomous Bushmaster snake. Explained by its diverse plant life, this habitat provides an adequate, "human free" environment in which these animals can thrive.
Visiting this place, though my time was short, is like nothing I have ever seen before in my life. Oddly, with the variety of animals and plants that are quite dangerous, I felt quite safe with a bit of know-how and a local guide to point out which hazards to avoid. For the most part, all but the plant biodiversity wants to avoid human contact. That being said, we did encounter a Bushmaster snake, a troop of Mantled Howlers, Parasol Ants (leafcutter) and several different species of spiders, including the very large, and extremely venomous Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria), known to exist in Central America. I didn't know this until I asked our guide what I had just photographed...Yikes! As long as they are not disturbed, they are docile...thank God!
The highlight of our trip was Pavones Beach (the longest left point-break in the world) and the fact that we arrived during a spectacular swell, which consisted of 6 to 8 foot breakers that were nearly double overhead out at the indicator. Having not experienced surf like this before, being able to ride a wave for nearly a minute was exhausting, in such a wonderful way! The people, the food, and the hospitality (Carolina at Hotel La Perla) were all first rate and exhibited that laid back lifestyle Pavones Beach is famous for...Pura Vida!!! -DvK
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres -
Œdipe explique l'énigme du sphinx [1806-27]
French Neoclassicism
Louvre Peintures RF 218
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C5%92dipe_explique_l%27%...
*********************************************************************************
Description of the Painting (Visual Analysis)
The painting Œdipe explique l'énigme du sphinx (Oedipus Explains the Riddle of the Sphinx) by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, originally painted in 1808 (the version held in the Louvre was reworked between 1806 and 1827), is a key example of French Neoclassicism. It depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology and masterfully combines dramatic narrative with idealised form.
In the scene:
•Oedipus stands confidently at the centre, his bare torso muscular and idealised, with a poised and intelligent expression.
•The Sphinx, part woman, part lion, with wings, crouches before him like a predator, her gaze wary and challenging.
•In the background lies a dead man, a victim of the Sphinx (who would kill all who failed to answer her riddle).
•A second male figure, possibly a witness or companion, stands to the left, visibly alarmed or in awe.
________________________________________
Interpretation
1. The Symbolism of the Riddle and Its Solution
•The riddle itself represents the journey from ignorance to understanding – a central theme in classical drama.
•Oedipus’ answer (“Man”, who crawls on four legs in the morning of life, walks on two at midday, and uses a cane – three legs – in the evening) symbolises self-knowledge and human awareness.
•Ingres underscores this through the hero’s idealised physique: Oedipus embodies not only strength but also reason – the archetype of a classical hero.
2. The Conflict Between Man and Myth
•The Sphinx represents the irrational, animalistic, and enigmatic feminine – a relic of the mythic past.
•Oedipus, by contrast, stands for rational thought overcoming darkness and superstition – a view that echoes Enlightenment ideals, which Neoclassicism often supported.
3. Tension Between Life and Death
•The lifeless figure behind the Sphinx heightens the drama: Oedipus' success is far from assured; it is hard-won.
•The painting captures the moment just before resolution – a scene charged with tension, intellect, and imminent triumph.
________________________________________
🎨 Stylistic Aspects
•Neoclassicism: Ingres, a pupil of David, draws heavily from the antique. This is evident in:
othe clarity of line,
othe balanced composition,
othe heroic nudity of the male figure.
•Antique inspiration: The sharply outlined forms recall classical reliefs and sculpture.
•The colour palette is restrained; drama arises not from colour, but from gesture and form.
________________________________________
Significance Within Ingres’ Oeuvre
•This work belongs to Ingres’ early career and was reworked several times until 1827. It reflects his striving for technical perfection and his deep engagement with antiquity.
•It also anticipates a lifelong tension in his art: between classical idealism and romantic expressiveness.
________________________________________
📌 Conclusion
Œdipe explique l'énigme du sphinx is a painting about reason, humanity, and the triumph of intellect over the unknown. Ingres portrays Oedipus as an idealised hero – mentally and physically superior – who defeats the monstrous through insight. The work stands as a quintessential expression of Neoclassical aesthetics and the intellectual spirit of its time: a return to antique clarity in an age marked by upheaval (Revolution, Napoleon).

From the realm of colourful and simple plates, this beauty of a snowflake contains a mysterious feature that I cannot explain. Before reading the rest of the post, can you identify it? View large to see it in better detail! (Press "L" to view in Lightbox mode)
Small hexagonal snowflakes sometimes form with just the right thickness of bubbles to create thin film inference colours within the ice. The thickness of the bubble (and therefore the thickness of the ice surrounding it) determines the colour that is generated by the optical interference. These colours then showcase the growth pattern of the bubble, mostly in a predictable manner… but there is an exception here, in the bottom left.
The bottom left coloured area depicts two small circles that clearly show at least two levels of thickness, but these circles to not conform the natural growth patterns on bubbles in the ice. There is no way (to my knowledge) that this could have formed without outside interference. Very dark tones can be identified within certain interference patterns and it doesn’t look like the snowflake is hollow, but it appears that something made a bubble expand or the surface of the ice shrink to create this shape.
The only thing that comes to mind is some kind of environmental contamination, hitting the snowflake exactly on those two spots and causing this effect, whether it be pollution or some other substance in the atmosphere. However, even this doesn’t fit. If it was a droplet of some contaminant, the outer reddish ring would not be solid, but rather vary in thickness towards the inner black area. A solid red ring means there is a distinct and constant drop in thickness through this region, proceeding to another similar drop in the center. It’s a mystery to me!
…And all of this discussion over a feature in a snowflake measuring 0.04mm (40 microns). That’s the size of the largest of these peculiar circles. The smallest things can be fascinating!
And if you find this interesting, you’ll love all of the mysterious snowflakes discussed in Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/ - along with all of the photographic techniques used to create images like this. It’s not too late to discover the beauty that winter has… and it might be more appealing to do so as it’s on the way out! :)

Today will be my weekly semi-formal day so I will do a double upload for my two different takes on this outfit. To reiterate what I have explained before, my goal with these semi-formal outfits is to be dressed nicely in at least a shirt and neckwear all day. If I do not work, I can still be nicely dressed but with more comfortable items of clothing such as jeans and oxfords that would be more appropriate for a day spent doing chores and relaxing, but still dressed in something proper.
Today the weather is bad so the first thing I have done is necktie myself with this cozy and comfortable sweater. Instead of jeans, which is my plan with my semi-formal outfits, I am going to stick with trousers and my usual high heels because shortly I will go to the bakery and purchase some bread and buns. Once I get home I will make myself breakfast and coffee, followed by checking my morning emails and catching up on the news.
After that I will tidy up my breakfast mess and do some general chores around the house, then watch a documentary on tv if I have the time. I have noticed that I tend to slouch sometimes when I eat or watch tv normally, but even having on a semi-formal outfit helps me sit more ladylike and I have come to appreciate that I have that encouragement to better my posture even when I am not wearing fully formal clothing. To me it is just one of those matters of personal pride to act with a higher standard for no other reason than self-respect. If I can achieve that with a comfortable sweater in addition to a nice collar and tie then all the better.
Before work today I will stop for lunch at my parents' house. I will change my outfit slightly for that by exchanging my sweater for my jacket. I like how these semi-formal outfits will be so versatile that I can simply change jeans for a skirt or a sweater for a jacket and I go from simply looking nice and proper to being dressed appropriately for work.
I have discussed expanding my wardrobe to more formal outfits in the future, but I also intend to expand it into this style as well. For now I will dress like this once a week, but I hope to increase that in the future as my schedule permits.

Elsie is explaining to me why it is I am not a good pupil in her school (never mind that I'm the only one who is not either an animal or doll). This was taken not long before my camera was confiscated!
Can you explain the rain ?
Can you explain the light ?
Can you explain the color ?
Can you explain yourself ?
So like last time, I will do a explanation of what happens in the story. Also if you want to check out the previous story in this universe, (Batman: Reflection) the is an album that you can check out. Anyways, here we go.
1: Unhinged
So this photo shows what Batman has been doing after the events of Reflection, he goes on a murderous rampage and kills all of his enemies.
2: Memories
Again like the last one, this is just to clarify that batman is going insane and killing everybody. Also the grin adds to the madness that he is into.
3: Decision
So when Batman is done killing everyone, he moves onto the people that care about him most. Gordon is on the GCPD building and Batman swings down and aims his gun at him. He is torn between killing him or not. I really didn't show the result of this, but I came up with the conclusion that Gordon was shot and killed.
4: Alone
So after Batman kills Gordon, he reflects on his past and who he has killed and if killing is the right thing. But his madness still is growing rapidly and he snaps out and heads to Wayne Manor
5: Home
So I'd say that Batman has been away from Wayne Manor and the Batcave for about 4 months. So Alfred is shocked to see Bruce with a gun that is aimed at him, Batman walks down the stairs to the Batcave...
6: Confrontation
So after killing Alfred, Bruce brings the limp body into the batcave and sees Robin standing by the Jason memorial. Robin turns to see Batman, and they fight. After a while, Robin grabs the gun and points it at Bruce's head. Robin sees a man of craziness and madness in the suit; Joker. Robin is dealt with the same decision that Bruce was with Gordon; To kill him or not. Robin grip tightens...
7: Silence
Robin shoots Batman and crys over his dead body, losing a mentor and friend. In the reflection of the Jason memorial, Joker is seen gazing down onto Robin...his next victim.
So I hope you guys enjoyed this mini series and like this abstract story style. I think I'm not going to continue it because of how this ended, but time will tell.
Thanks guys for support,
-LegoBatbrick
P.S This explanation isn't edited since I'm in a rush, so sorry for misspelling errors and incorrect grammar
