Fools in love, well are there any other kind of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...
Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?
Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...
Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again
Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever
Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now
Nothing mean a thing except you and your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...
Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again
(Joe Jackson - "Fools in love")
Whoever figured out that yesterdays shot was an April Fools joke, you were correct! Did you really expect me to pass up an opportunity for a joke?
I have no intention of quitting my 365 project. I have absolutely no expectation of producing quality photos this time around. With that said though, I think I've taken some pretty damn good selfies in year 2. Some of my favorite selfies are actually from this year. Hell, my highest ranked photo in Explore is from my 2nd year (it made it to #8). So, I must still be doing something right. Like I said before though, I have no expectations for quality. I'm more interested in doing this just as a way to sort of document my daily life. Anyway, I had a long night at work, my pups want to play with me, I'm hungry, and I'm tired. So, I'm Outtie 5000 G!
Peace!

When I was younger, I used to think fools gold was so cool. It was cheap, looked like gold (supposedly), and I could trick my friends into thinking I had found nuggets of gold. It ruled.

Dont take cavers mountaineering.... we were lucky.
A youthful figure steps out onto a mountain cliff. It's fair hair is crowned with laurel and a feather. A little white dog is jumping up the wanderer's trousers and boots, who is wearing a flowing garment, embroidered with zodiac wheels, a half moon on it's left shoulder, a yellow sun on it's right shoulder and a triple flame at the front of the chest at the location of the heart. The dress is held together by a girdle.
The Fool's right hand holds a blooming white rose. The left hand holds a rod, placed casually over it's left shoulder supporting a wallet, which has the Eye of Horus and an eagle in flight on its flap.
The bright light of a white sun shines behind the traveller, who is gazing upwards into the distance of a yellow sky. Over the edge of the cliff, beneath it are the waters of a lake with the shimmering reflections of surrounding snow covered mountains and evergreen trees.
I am a fool sometimes. I had planned to get out early this morning but couldn't decide where I wanted to go, tides weren't all that great for coastal stuff and I was under orders not to burn up too much petrol so a local shoot it would have to be. Awaking nice and early I started to get myself sorted but found myself being cajoled into entertaining my youngest (normally you can't get them up early on a schoolday). I'd already looked out of the window to see a huge bank of thick cloud to the east, not much chance of a decent sunrise I thought. Eventually at just after 7am i hit the road to witness the sun literally burning a hole through that bank of cloud but was there a decent vantage point to capture it, was there heck.
I just caught the tail end of the sunrise when I arrived at Plessey Woods so, with my 10-20 in place and an ND grad on the front I took a couple of shots then I hoisted the tripod and camera onto my shoulder and headed to the river a ten minute walk away. What I should have done was put myself into nature mode, i.e. swap to a longer lens and set the controls for a faster shutter speed cos you never know what you might spot. What i did spot was three roe deer crossing the track ahead of me and could I get a shot, could I heck. Worse still I keep telling myself to carry the Dynax with the 70-300 on just for such instances.
I did swap lenses to my 18-105 (the longest I have for the Nikon) but, despite two more fleeting glances of the deer I never got a decent shot, too many trees in the way.
I did spot this golden winter morning light though so a quick handheld shot was taken.
* Ship of Fools (1965): Stanley Kramer now steers the camera for real as the director in addition to being producer, and he steers a cruise liner full of a cross-section of society across the Atlantic toward 1933 Germany. Written by Abby Mann (Judgment at Nuremberg) from a novel by Katherine Anne Porter, Ship of Fools is a series of interlocked vignettes that travel the decks of the boat, showing the different levels of society, dissecting an international cast of characters. An Austrian anti-Semite philanderer (Jose Ferrer) rubs elbows with a deposed Spanish contessa (Simone Signoret), an alcoholic ex-baseball player (Lee Marvin), an idealistic but naïve painter (George Segal), a lonely middle-aged woman (Vivien Leigh), and many others. Each has their own shortcomings, usually enflamed by their shortsightedness, and putting them together, trapping them in one space for a specific period of time, only serves to call more attention to what ails them. Only two people are conscious of the humanity around them. The ship's doctor (Oskar Werner) is aware of the failings of others, and it makes him despair of his inability to exact change, causing him to pay the ultimate price. With him is the dwarf (Michael Dunn), the narrator who speaks to the audience on either side of the cruise. Being below most people's sight lines gives him a unique perspective, and the film being made in 1965 also allows Stanley Kramer to imbue the story with a sense of prescience for what is to come. The human tragedy that is only years away plays out on the ship. All the bad ideas, all of the selfishness, and all of the denial is right there for our viewing pleasure, and most of us may be disheartened to find ourselves somewhere in the population of the Ship of Fools. It may feel a little tidy or preachy today, but its truth holds strong.
