Ok Flickr, seriously? Every day something new breaks. This site is becoming unusable. Two words: Change Control.
Anyway, if I can survive this new Flickr gauntlet, there's some landscape stuff on the horizon - no pun intended. I've had a 50mm Zeiss T/S franken-lens for two years and never made a photograph with it before today. It was nice to get out and enjoy the solitude of this kind of shooting, in spite of a few mishaps and sub-freezing temps...
Build for Greeble De Mayo week 3: Minifigure.
Greeble De Mayo is a contest held on the Iron Builder Discord server. Max allowed size of the build is 8x8x8 studs.
If there is truth in the old adage, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” where does that leave the team of Hendricks and Patchett?
We have been deliberately trying to fool people with our photographic sleight of hand for almost three years now. If you are still being fooled by this wizardry, then shame on you. (wink wink)
There is an irresistible duality to the visual trickery going on in this image. We hope you find it interesting.
This is a double forced perspective photograph of die-cast model cars, real cars and a real hand in front of a real background.

"Beautiful little fools
That’s what us girls are destined for
Beautiful little fools
Born to be adored
Where is the feminine race?
Where are these so-called independent women?
Who pick up their flaws
And let the world in
Where are these girls?"

Artist brief: I am interested in the dialogue that this apparently incongruous hybrid of science fiction, history and materiality presents. The narrative is fragmented or pixelated much like the surface of the work allowing endless interpretive entry and exit points.
Well my friends here is my story. Mom took JR to the vet today to get his rabies shot and I thought I was just going for the ride but, guess what? Dr. Ann said since my rabies shot was due in just three weeks that I could have mine too and then JR and I would be on the same schedule! So, I got a shot too! Can you believe that? Mom tricked me! Bad mom! But then, she took JR and me to the lake so we forgived her. We didn't find a new lake but we really like this one so that is okay.
Love, Dillon
I didn't get around to submitting anything to the photo5 but at least Max had some fun with the paper glasses.

This couple decided it would be great fun to dance around in the fountains outside ‘The Library of Birmingham’. Although they weren’t actually posing for me one of them saw me with my camera and looked at me as the flash fired giving me eye contact. They probably ended up with wet feet…..!
Chasing the gold for a moment of time to capture. The photographers' malady.

This wee fawn was hungry and evidently thought this young buck was his mother. Lesson learned as the buck soon chased him away. The fawn fortunately did find his mother soon after. Was amusing to watch.
Not a great shot as I wasn't ready for the fawn to do this.
However it is something unusual.
Something different for April Fool's Day.
Have a great weekend, hopefully without too many tricks.
Awa Odori, also known as ‘the dance of fools’, comes from Tokushima Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. “Awa” is the name of the feudal province which later became Tokushima and 'Odori' mean dance.
According to tradition, Awa Odori originated in the 16th century after drunken revellers took to dancing in the streets of Tokushima in celebration of the completion of Tokushima Castle.
While there is no firm evidence to support this, the exuberant, often frenzied nature of the dance is in keeping with the story’s theme of drunken revelry. Traditional lyrics to the music used for Awa Odori translate to “The dancers are fools and the watchers are fools; if both are fools, you may as well dance”.
Although its home is obviously Tokushima (its Awa Odori is one of the biggest street dance festivals in the world, attracting around 1.5m spectators annually), other major Awa Odori include those held in Koenji in Tokyo (which now almost rivals that in Tokushima for size) and in Minami-Koshigya in Saitama prefecture, photographed here.
Although much smaller than its cousins in Tokushima and Koenji, it still attracts around 800,000 spectators...
