Shot for Iron Photographer 109 project. This time, the components of the photo are: a self portrait, a box and "OMG blur". Crazy as usual - the OMG blur is really awesome. You should check out what the other members came up with here. I'm looking forward to trying some more shots for this project.

At Wise Villa Winery (Lincoln, CA). Shoot or Go Home Photography Meet Up Group for a Fall Colors Winery & Vineyards meet up with four models. Each of the participants are encouraged to bring with them any portable equipment to enhance the experience for everyone. Quite a few of the photographers were using light meters, monopods and various types of external flashes. This was a great learning experience for me. I am looking forward to more opportunities to not only expand my knowledge and skills but also my equipment.

I don't know how much I'll be able to be on Flickr except to post some photos because my hip surgery is taking place on Feb. 9th and I have a lot of things to do. I'll stop in whenever possible but I know that I will miss a lot of photos. Right now I want to spend time getting things ready, spend time with my family, and my dogs. I hope you all understand. Hopefully I'll have a chance to let everyone know how I'm doing after I get home from the hospital. I'll do that as soon as possible. Obviously it will be awhile before I can come back to Flickr in full force. I wish you all a very nice week and want to thank you all for being such great friends here on Flickr. Lots of love and hugs!
I'm sorry that I am posting so many photos. I just have so many and I want to have more on here for the Cincinnati Zoo. You certainly don't have to comment on them because I can't promise that I'll be able to visit your beautiful photostreams consistently for awhile. I'll miss seeing all your beautiful photos and talking with you all. Thanks everyone!

Explored #313, thanks friends!
I shot a lot this week in Destin. I don't have much time to post but here's one I hope you enjoy!
Pigs do fly!!!
We have just had a massive storm that lasted well over an hour and it was amazing with almost constant sheet and fork lightning.
Knew I wasn't going to get decent photos with a point and shoot but thought I would give it a try.
Have no idea how these images have been formed but I have managed to capture quite a few in different forms.
Well they were taken on Halloween!!!
Oinked their way into Explore #262 30th October. Which is interesting as I took this after midnight on Halloween but because of the time difference it actually appeared in Explore the day before I actually took this!!!!

Meet Keylani (not sure of spelling...pronounced Key-Lonnie). She's a capuchin monkey, one of the most intelligent New World monkeys. Sometimes used as service animals ( to help those with disabilities) and better known for being "organ grinders". She was born about 3 weeks ago and fell from her mother's back. Mom decided not to take care of her after that (it was her first baby and possibly didn't really know how to care for her), so she is being hand fed and taken care of by the zoo director at the "Little River Zoo" in Norman OK. She was so sweet and was clinging on to the back of a fuzzy teddy bear, just like she would do with her mama.

I have passed by these classic red stools outside "D's Diner" for over two years now, always meaning to stop. Well, I finally did. This is one of those great old diners that just screams the 50's. Can't you just picture the girls in their pink poodle skirts and angora sweaters, perched on these stools, sipping malteds?
THIS is Americana at it's finest.
Long live the diner.

Does he sing to all your music,
While you dance to purple rain,
Does he do all these things,
Like I use to.

Banana tree leaf vendor. He supplies to many places & is involved in this trade since he was young. The daily routine. I was taken aback seeing his technique and balance !
IN FLICKR EXPLORE ON 4-11-2012.

He was barefooted. Shoe is a luxury to him, as he may only be earning that much with which he can manage the bare minimum. Motor bike is a necessity for him in this trade, that is why he is having one. How much someone can earn by selling banana tree leaves, and that too which do not fetch a good price? At least he has a noble profession, whatever small it may be !
At Mukkombu - Tiruchiapalli, Tamilnadu, India
we hold on to the things that are comfortable
its so hard to let go and do something dangerous
the same old patterned days lay ahead
when will they be different?

I decided to explore the redwoods for 6 days and I did, hitting 5 redwood state parks and 16 groves. But, for me, none of these parks are as majestical and awe-inspiring as Jedediah Smith. Overall, the trees are the biggest I have seen in any of the parks. Colossal mammoths that make you seem small, and you realize you really are...
I drove in very excited, as if I was the kid entering Disneyland. This was not the first time I had been here, but I find the park never gets old, no matter how many times I visit. As soon as I was surrounded by these old tranquil giants, I stopped the car and got out. I laid in the middle of the road and just stared at the incredible beauty above me. It was quiet. It was perfect... After a few minutes, a car began to approach my spot. I got up as fast as I could-which is not very fast these days-and walked to the edge of the road. The occupants of the car had seen me in the road and when they passed, they just smiled and waved, as if they just knew what I was doing. Once the car passed I noticed this beautiful scene and captured it, for all to see...
Don't miss Jedediah Smith Park, it's such a gem!
