ideas full of fruits
i did my first trip to paris when i was 16. we were four friends who had been travelling through france together for the summer, and we had four days and two rides left on our train ticket ("france vacance" it was called, a ticket that enabled you to ride as far as you wanted on four different days during a three-week period of time). we had been trekking and canoeing in the gorge ardèche for the previous weeks, and since a valid "ride day" started at 8 p.m.and lasted until midnight the next day, we decided to take an evening train down to marseille, spend the night there roaming around, then catch a very early morning train to mulhouse (which is close to the german border right where we lived on the other side), hitchhike back home into our village, drop off our backpacks, and finally take a train north to paris. this way, we would only use one ride for the whole trip, and could use the last one back home four days later.
as we didn't have much money left, we knew we couldn't afford a hostel or an other accomodation in paris, therfore we decided that we didn't need any luggage, since we would have to spend the nights on the streets, anyway. so we just took our passports our tickets, and some leftover money, and off we went.
we've had impressing and intense four days in paris. we spent the nights on the sidewalk in front of gare du nord (the north station), where we could rest on the ground until the street cleaners chased us away with their water brooms at six in the mornings. quickly we had figured out where to dig up pieces of cardboard to lie on (and where to hide these precious pieces of insulation during the daytime), and which places around the station we could use, and which were already taken by the regular dossers and habitué clochards.
needless to say we didn't get much sleep at night. it was loud and bright, we got quite a few "unwanted guests" trying to squeeze themselves between us in the wee hours, and even in a warm summer, it gets cool at nighttime when you're lying on plain ground with neither a sleeping bag nor a jacket (i didn't even bring long pants; that's why in the picture above you can see me with my legs tugged into a plastic garbage bag, since my calves had been getting uncomfortably cold the nights before.) the person in the sleeping bag to the right was a dutch traveller who was afraid to sleep alone, so we gave her a place at our side for a night.
during the daytime, we occasionally had a nap or two in parks or on a traffic island, but when you're 16, you can get away with almost no sleep for quite a while, and the city was energizing enough for us to keep us going. we were filled with ideas and fruits and inspirations....
the pic was taken in the very early morning hours by friend number four, who had gotten up shortly before the water broom men arrived.
Well yesterday was an exciting day for me! I was taking some photos of a White Throated Sparrow when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. When I looked, here was this little beauty sitting in the tree.
Let me give you the setup for this shot, one bathroom window, remove screen, stand in bathtub, point lens through opening and viola!! A Blue Headed Vireo (my fellow bird friends have ID'd it as that and I am waiting a reply from bird specialist Bruce Mactavish but majority have said BHV. My first sighting :) Just have to share with you all and hope you can appreciate my excitement. Have a wonderful day as you marvel about the wonder of all that surrounds you!

First post in 2010. Content but not truly thrilled with the results. I may post more of these. This was my first time every trying this kind of shot.
Degree of difficulty on a scale of 1-10: 6. Less because of camera work and more about setup and having to take a good number of shots and trying to drop the water where you know your focal point is (water doesn't always fall where you need it to).
Basically, I decided to use some of these not-so-great weather days to try out different little projects and this was one of them. 17 degrees and 50 mph winds outside. No landscapes today!

My significant other has had this guitar for as long as I've known him. I've never heard him play a single chord. It collected dust over the years, as you can clearly see. It gives the instrument a kind of antique look. I've always wanted to learn how to play and the other day I had an epiphany! Here I am, with a free guitar, and endless amounts of YouTube videos, I can definitely learn! So, I picked up a guitar for the first time the other day. I've practiced every day. I don't like to gloat, but can I just say that I'm kind of a natural? (:
First ride ever on one of Sheffield's Supertrams!!

Thanks to the amazing Petra to let me do this quick shooting around the theme of Alice! <3 She look awesome, and she is epic!
The world’s latest wide-body aircraft, Airbus A350 landed in Liszt Ferenc International Airport in Budapest for the first time today.
Lufthansa’s ultra-modern aircraft arrived in the Hungarian capital to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the German airline launching its first regular flight to four CEE cities including Belgrade, Budapest, Bucharest and Zagreb.
Following a tradition of nearly 40 years set by Boeing 737, 747 Jumbo and the world’s largest passenger aircraft Airbus A380, Lufthansa is now the first airline to present the most state-of-the-art passenger plane in the world in Hungary.

I have not tried abstracting beach scenes before and we live a little way from the beach! Thanks to Sedat and his challenge this week I gave it my first go. I thought I was getting absolutely nothing but when I got home and downloaded my 100 photos lol, I found a few that may fit the subject. It is a good start anyway.
Great shoot with firsttime-model Sarina. Was a lot of fun! She's shot with 50mm F1.4 USM, lit by a Speedlite 420EXII, triggered wirelessly by Cactus V5's, diffused by Rogue Flashbender softboxkit, angeled at about 45 degrees to the models left.
