I took Beefy out for my belated Valentine’s gift to him: the Cincinnati Pops Disney concert. I didn’t wear any Disney, but Beefy wore a Mickey tie and a Captain Hook pin. Unfortunately, you only get pictures of my outfit.
Dress, Lillie Rubin (thrifted). Coat, Borgazia (thrifted). Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Rampage. Earrings, girlshop.com. Bangles, Epcot Morocco and gift. Clutch, thrifted.
Actually, the gold-tone bracelets were from Disney World’s Epcot center, so I guess I was wearing a little Disney. Other than that, I went for a Valentine’s (pink earrings and heart-printed bracelet) and Beefy (green is his favorite color) theme for my accessories.
You mentioned that you are home bound for the day and looking for anything to shoot, even your shoes..... so I pulled out my beat-up sneakers and took a couple of snaps :-)
(and yes that's my rainbow slinky adding a bit of color in the background :-)

We made a quick trip to Cody for groceries. Next time I want to spend more time in and around Cody as there is a lot to photograph. We did stop to shoot the Smith Mansion. It is an enigmatic multi-story structure about half way between Cody, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park.
Francis Lee Smith began building the house in 1971. He had no plan; he just started building and couldn't stop. The structure is built from fire damaged lodge pole pine and other materials scrounged from the surrounding area. The only electricity was from a long extension cord connected to a pole along the highway below. A tangle of additional extension cords powered various rooms in the house.
The builders wife and children moved into town and visited on weekends. He kept building additional floors, stairways and balconies, furniture and metal sculptures as the mood struck and supplies were available. He lived without running water or plumbing until he slipped off an upper balcony in 1992 and died. For awhile his daughter made efforts to raise funding to preserve the house. That effort failed. As the structure has been vacant for almost 25 years it has become more and more deteriorated and unsafe.
The Smith Mansion and the surrounding 10 acres went on the market for $750,000 in August, 2018. Act now to make this unique property yours!

for this week's class, we joined with a photography class at the art institute, pinned up all of our projects in a row, and sat down like soldiers. meanwhile, the ai students pinned theirs up about the room, mingled with each other, and snacked on gouda cheese and cookies. am i at an art gallery opening? i wondered.
Thanks to my wonderful friend, and exquisite artiste Nina for the fantastic testimonial:-) xox.. www.flickr.com/photos/22729519@N03/

Woo, down to the wire this week.
I'm not usually so last minute but it's been hard to sit at the computer with all the nothingness I've had to do the last few days.
I knew early on that I'd be dog-sitting all weekend, so I figured I'd take my picture at Zoey's house.
I also knew what theme I wanted to go for...
Something I feel very strongly about:
Yard dogs.
Now, plenty of people have a house, and a yard, and a dog (or two or three.) And that's fine and dandy, don't get me wrong. But there are people who specifically have yard dogs, and that's where I have an issue.
Most of you know what I'm talking about. The scruffy, matted, muddy something-doodle obsessively running up and down the chain-link fence at the dead end street. The over-sized husky howling his sorrowful song atop his dog house during the middle of the night. The old, wobbly beagle wagging his tail as he slowly follows pedestrians along the perimeter of his yard - obviously starved for attention.
These are just some of the examples I've come across while exploring various neighborhoods here and there. I've been planning on starting a little project and photographing some of these dogs, but for now I just walk and observe. And what I see makes me sad.
I'm not someone who could ever have an "outside only dog" - it just doesn't feel right. I can understand the necessity sometimes, like with working breeds. A livestock guardian, for instance, needs to live among whatever it's protecting. I get that. But too often, I wonder why some of these everyday folks even bothered getting a dog, when they go through such great lengths to isolate it from their lives.
Most "animal people" will agree that a dog is part of the family. Zoey and Bailey, while having a fully functional, fenced yard, are family dogs. They sleep inside (on one of 6 pet beds), they eat good food, they have regular vet checkups. They make a show of barking at people coming onto their property but they were raised to love everyone (especially the neighborhood kids who hop the fence to say hello.) While they aren't taken out for walks (which is something that bugs me, but with 4 kids to look after it's understandable that the dogs will have to sacrifice something), they almost always get to go up to the lake house with their humans for a change of scenery. (They had to stay behind this time because it was a wedding occasion and 50 guests to deal with meant no dogs allowed.)
As someone who's almost always lived in an apartment, I must say most house-dwellers have got it easy when it comes to pet ownership. I have more free time here, with three dogs, than I do at home, with one dog. I get up, let the pups out, they do their business, they play, they come in, they sleep... A few hours later, we rinse and repeat. At night I go to bed with all three of them dead to the world from a full day of frolicking.
It's almost too easy. Herein lies the problem sometimes.
With the economy issues the last few years, I've seen a lot of people lose their homes. Along with that, one of the first things to go is the dog. "I'm moving into an apartment and I have to rehome my teacup chihuahua because there's no room" is often code for "I'm too lazy to walk my dog" or "there's no way my dog can adjust to apartment life because he has never lived inside before." Drives me crazy. I'd argue that ANY breed (or mix) can live comfortably indoors. A yard does nothing but give you an out from ... well, getting out.
I could go on but I'll stop the rant there. Long story short, I believe owning a pet should be harder work than many people let it be. There's tons of responsible pet owners out there who get it right, but they're equally matched by the irresponsible... and they get it so, so wrong. And, sadly, it's the pets who suffer for their luxury.
Climb out of your holes, people! And please take your dogs with you.
A moment to talk about the photo, now... It's my first upload with my new lens! Nothing fancy 'cause all the ones I really want are upwards of $600 and this is just a higher end kit lens, but it's fun having a bit of a wider angle to mess with. Zoom's gonna take some getting used to but we'll see what comes out of it.
I shot it a few different ways - higher up to see Haiku's face fully, and with his head placed at the gate opening for a clearer view. But when I went through the results, this one stuck out. The bar covering his eyes gave it the melancholy feel I was going for. Don't be fooled, though. Hike's anything but a neglected yard dog :)
His challenge for the week was being away from Zozo for the duration of the shoot (all of 5 minutes!) It'll be hard for him to go back home tomorrow. No yard, no full-time dog company... But we'll manage. Because as his owner, *I'll* sacrifice what I have to to keep him happy.
I'm also feeling a lot better about Flickr so I will definitely be back in the mix this week. Thanks to everyone who continues to read my essays :) I always enjoy hearing your thoughts!

“This is for the birds! Oh wait – I AM a bird!”
The challenge:
A photograph can be technically perfect, and have a great composition – that’s already hard enough to achieve sometimes! But for me, a photograph really stands out if it touches me. If it conveys a feeling, or stirs an emotion within. A really great image is one that evokes a mood and pulls the viewer into the scene. That’s what this week’s challenge is about: capturing emotion and feeling.
My process:
This is not the image I thought I was going to take this week. I started off the week thinking I would need to make a difficult and heartrending decision. The rainy weather forecast looked like it would match my mood and I planned to see what I could capture during a downpour. As it turned out, the sun appeared during a break in the clouds at about the same time I got the news that all my worry was for naught. In an effort to calm my frayed nerves, I turned to my camera and started taking photos of birds in my back yard.
I take a LOT of photos of birds – thousands upon thousands of photos often of the same exact birds. Sometimes I question my sanity, but the reason is because I’m hoping to capture the rare instance when a bird seems to express an emotion that we humans can identify with. I’m pretty sure we anthropomorphize the emotions, but we identify with them nonetheless.
Grackles seem to be particularly expressive – maybe because of their bright yellow eyes. This particular grackle has a bum leg that he never puts weight on, but the wind was making it particularly challenging for him to stay upright while perching on the post. He was using his tail as a rudder and he looks like he’s had just about enough! (We’ve all had those days buddy.)
The lighting helped to further enhance the mood of the photo as well. There was a small shaft of sunlight on the bird, but the background was in shade and was especially dark because of dark clouds overhead. The sun highlighted the iridescent colors in the wings and lightened the overall dark colors of the bird to help differentiate it from the dark background.
Lesson learned:
As you probably know, I strive hard to capture technically perfect images. However I am slowly learning (as Maaike said in her opening paragraph) that even though an image might be technically perfect, if it’s void of emotion the technical perfection doesn’t make up for that. Conversely, an image with emotional impact can make technical imperfections almost irrelevant. Perhaps this is because emotions connect us to the deepest parts of ourselves. Technical perfection is about what the eyes see; emotion is about what the heart feels – and it is entirely possible for our eyes to overlook something that our heart feels strongly about.

I woke up to a chilly morning here in Wisconsin, and after eating breakfast and looking at doll photos, I was inspired to play with Aoife a little. So I redressed her and organized my doll stuff bin! Which takes a surprisingly long time.....
This is what is left. I am willing to let them go for pretty low prices. FM with an offer for one, a few, all Whatever floats your boat
Sorry about the kinda blurry quality..
I hope it's good enough.
Since she usually has really simple,basic clothes,I decided to go for something a little more girly and stylish :)

Thanks for visiting, I'm off to the dentist.
I'm back from a sweaty week in Belize for the latest BugShot workshop! Fantastic insects, spiders, and students this year - a great trip! This little long-faced weirdo (Hypaeus beningus?) was found in the mossy jungle near the entrance of a cave. More pictures from the trip can be found here: goo.gl/vVfxTE
More cool Belizean macros to come!
