The face, the most expressive part of our body. At times truthful while at others laden with lies. Both a master of revealing our emotions and a crafty tool for deception.

I'm amazed I managed to rally in time to get this shot done today before Lost tonight. Let me back up. I went to Urgent Care this morning to get my leg checked out since I still can't walk. Turns out I tore my calf muscle and fascia in my right leg. The good news is that I didn't rupture my achilles tendon, so I won't need surgery. The bad news is that it's going to be 4-6 weeks before I can even think about running, jumping, playing soccer, or anything else that I actually want to do with my leg. But I'm thankful because it could be worse. I have to keep reminding myself of that. Anyway, the doctor gave me a prescription for Percocet to help with the pain. I had some issues with nausea when I took Vicodin a few years back, so he thought Percocet would be a good alternative.
WRONG!
About forty-five minutes after taking it, I hit a brick wall of nausea and was completely laid up for the rest of the afternoon, petrified that I was going to throw up. Did I mention that I do NOT throw up? I do everything in my power to avoid it at all costs, no matter what. Even when I know I will feel better afterwards. No thank you. Anyway, today sucked. That's pretty much the point of the story. But I managed to get this shot off for this week's Emulation Challenge in My Face is My Canvas. Can you believe this is our 25th week of emulation challenges??? If you haven't already checked out the group and you have even the slightest interest in face art photography, you owe it to yourself to stop by. And for those of you who haven't played in a while...hey, we miss you! ;)
Ok, time to watch the rest of last week's Lost in preparation for tonight's episode. Michelle and Daynna, prepare for the onslaught of texts and BBMs.

Face detail on one of George John Vulliamy's dolphin lamp standards on the Queen's Walk, between Southwark and Waterloo Bridges.
On closer inspection, the face is covered in cobwebs but I didn't notice them until I was processing the image at home.

Angkor, the area in Cambodia that is surrounding Siam Reap town, has a lot more to offer than Angkor Wat, even though thats everything that many visitors see. The region is full of temples, pagodas and ruins of long ago times.
While visiting one of the other, rather popular temples, Bayon, I got surprised by a heavy rain shower. I seeked shelter together with a nun and a policewoman. I figured that I might be able to profit from the weather as the temple now was completely empty. I looked around for a perspective that would work for me and quickly found one. The rain lets the pillars in the background look like a painting, its fascinating how it can help an image.
