Now, for some more Provençal village photography!
Today, we finish our visit of the village of Séguret, another one listed as one of the Plus beaux villages de France (“Most Beautiful Villages of France”), like Ménerbes which we visited a few days ago.
Located close to the town of Vaison-la-Romaine, Séguret is not in the Luberon Mountain area, and therefore remains more authentic, less spoiled by insane money, and still inhabited, at least in part, by some genuine villagers leading normal lives.
It still does have a few shops selling wares at otherworldly prices, but not an unreasonable number of them as in some places in the Luberon.
Narrow village streets have remained very much like they were a couple of centuries ago.
Well as one would guess Helios had not gotten very far with Little Lenore before Jack Knight had Jumped in! The first thing that had happened is he had cast a sleep spell on little Lenore for Children she not see what he was about to do next. The Very next thing he did was let out all of the Rage that filled his and all of the realm of Nightmares body! “Die Die Die, none shell harm our baby!” the 100s of distorted voices came calling out of the Body of Jack Knight as he pounded away upon Helios face.
Helios was in a state a shock he was being beating upon but all of the darkness of the Nightmare ream and he Liked it... Not that this beast could really kill him or even hurt him, but as he soon realized that Jack Knight would not stop no matter what! “Okay my dark friend, you win the child is yours... You are the most charming pet for your little master,” Helios laughed as he vanished back in to the shadows were he still felt something burning in side of him after thinking of using Lenore in Calista's place. But with out his prize were or how might turn his burning upon? (Next Scene With Helios Is really Dark!)
Jack Knight looked behind him and saw that Little Lenore have gone back to the dream world which made him feel much safer for there the realm of nightmares could keep her safe. One fact about Dream Children is in they lay in bed to sleep in the real world they go to dream land with all of there body. This makes it very easy for them to escape kidnappers because all they need to do to get away is sleep.
“We can not let her come back to this place Called School has to much danger for our innocent Princess must keep her safe!” The voices rang out from Jack Knights body as it do returned to the nightmare realm from which it had came.
What might come of Little Lenore now that she is back in realm of the Nightmares?
Is Jack Knight a hero for saving her? Or is he to ugly to be a Hero at all?
And what of Young Poe what will happen win he can not find his lost little Love?

Feel free to ask questions at my new blog!
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

Green Paradise for Insects. Hyvinkää, Finland. 20.5.2018
I found this beautiful small wet land in the middle of forest. It is great that some forest owners preserve these kind of wet lands in forest. These are very important to many insects and look like green paradise.
this is a vintage Rhino troop carrier tank in the colours of Uncle Nugles whorshippers at the time of posting for sale by me on the swedish auction site Tradera, just wanted to show some of the things I sell for you :)

I have always been sentimental however, for the past few years, it has ramped up exponentially. I grew up about a half mile from this store. As you can see from the window, they sold school uniforms, did embroidery, they sold toys and sold fabric, and a lot of odds and ends. They were kind of a miniature Woolworths (minus the goldfish and parakeets). Most important to me, they sold baseball cards (walk in the front door, take 3 steps, and turn left, and there they were, in boxes and cellophane packs).
In the late 1970's and early 80's, my friends and I would ride our bicycles here and buy baseball cards (only the packs, we didn't have the money to buy a whole box). I probably haven't been inside since Reagan was president. I don't know what year they opened, but they hung on until about a year or two ago.
Retail is dying, but there is certainly no place for a store like this in the 21st Century.
Getting old.
Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.

This one is dedicated to my wife, for without her support, it would've been impossible for me to pursue my passion for photography. Also, we celebrate our wedding anniversary today..

For me an object is an object, I don't have feelings for objects... That said, I love my new camera ;-)

Hubby and I were out to dinner on Friday night when this gentleman was seated across from us. For some reason it really touched my heart to see him alone. He seemed sad to me. I realize this might not have been the case, I may have imagined it, but we have no way of knowing! Cherish the now, for tomorrow it could be gone~

It was on January 3rd that I had to say good-bye to my old boy Ozzie. Hard to believe that it has been six months without him. His three best friends (Yellow Dog, Mr. Hedgehog and Mr. Bun-bun) wait patiently for someone to love them. Maybe someday soon.

"There's nothing Jade J'Adore loves more than summertime romance in the city! This urban witch has been hangin' out in a shady spot at the park all day, playing matchmaker and practicing her love spells on potential couples. By the end of the afternoon, Jade had sparked up a few love connections and patched up plenty of rocky relationships - Love is always in the air with Jade J'Adore! ♥"

I've enjoyed listening to the ambient music made by the musician that uses the title Heathered Pearls and dedicate this image to him - I listened to Left Climber when I worked on this photo.
Hawaiian for "Sprouting Water", this is one of the most famous beaches in the world. The two mile stretch of white sand coast is fronted by hotels and tourist facilities. The area is excellent for swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, catamaran and outrigger canoe rides.

An approx 1:11 scale model of the NASA Mars InSight Lander, built in Sep 2018.
This spacecraft was launched on May 5 2018 on an Atlas V-401 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. It landed on Mars on Nov 26, 2018 at Elysium Planitia. Its mission is to gather seismic and interior structure data from Mars. The mission will last a little over 1 Mars year or 708 Mars days (~2 Earth years, or 728 Earth days)
More details here: mars.nasa.gov/insight/mission/overview/
I was asked to create this by an acquaintance who works at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab. I am a big space geek and closely follow NASA and especially the various Mars missions. This was very different than the types of things I normally design/build, but it was a great experience to work on this project, and I even got to take a private tour of JPL!
This build has traveled to many different events:
- Skaerbaek Fan Weekend 2018 (Skaerbaek, Denmark)
- Westgate Community Show 2018 (Calgary, AB)
- BrickCan 2019 (Richmond, BC)
- Brickspo 2019 (Moose Jaw, SK)
- The LEGO Store 2019 (Calgary, AB)
- Calgary Toy Show 2019 (Calgary, AB)
- FLL Jr Expo 2019 (Calgary, AB)
- Bricks LA 2020 (Los Angeles, CA)
So here are some prortypes for trade. I am only looking for prototypes, more specifically, the following:
-Boneduster (Tr-barrelled Lever Action shotgun)
-Overmolded V1 Thumper (Brown and Gunmetal)
-DMR
-Bren
-RPD
-FMG
-Laser Pistol
-M7 SMG Unsilenced
-M90 Shotgun
-M7 Flamethrower V2
-Ushanka
-Rail Gun
-V2 AC8s
-Dark Red
Thanks!

Beautiful swimsuit bikini model goddess on a beautiful January Malibu morning! Shot it yesterday. :) Love, love, love the new Sony A7 R 55mm F/1.8 lens combo!
Was a fun test shoot. Many, many more to come!
All the best on your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
Best on your hero's journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
Falling in love with the full frame 36 megapixel e mount Sony A7R!
The books behind the pretty goddess on the Malbu bluff and surfboard are The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, Homer's Iliad, Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare, and Herman Melville's Moby Dick! My favorite books! Will have some video of the pretty model reading them beside a campfire soon.
They're all collectors editions! My books cost as much as my surfboards!
And for those who always ask, I shoot in RAW! Always! :)
