Grace - a behind the scenes photo from the 12+ miles hike to do an art nude photo shoot with me. A wonderful model and the resulting photos were well worth the effort.
I am so thankful for grace - the beautifying of the imperfect, the redemption of the fallen. Thankful for the beauty that is seen even in flowers well past their prime. The snow we had last weekend finished off anything growing around here and gave me plenty of 'muted tones' to work with. For MCP Project 52 and Shutter Sisters OWP
" I made myself believe
There was no fight left in me
But redemption doesn't fall down at your feet
In the half light
We raised a hand to my defeat
And I watched the world fall
And I rebuilt it piece by piece
In the arms of the saint I'm a stranger
We're all trying to find our way
At the death of every darkness there's a morning
Though we all try
We all try
We're all one step from grace"

Grâce en mouvement,
Chaque pas une symphonie,
La gymnaste danse.
Graceful in motion,
Each step a symphony,
The gymnast dances.
Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful.
Though life's grace can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed. For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.
There is a grace in life that cannot be denied. In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that grace always comes shining through. There is no limit to it. It grows more abundant with each new encounter. The more you experience and appreciate it the more there is to be lived. Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be covered in foggy shadows, the grace of life lives on. Open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness everywhere.
Though it seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. For in the darkest moments it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure. And so the grace of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.
Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that it was really only
a moment away. Around the next corner Inside every moment, it is there to surprise and delight you. Take a moment to let the grace of life, touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. Then, share your good fortune with another. For it grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.
Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger, the grace of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and meaning
than ever before.

I recently bought an 85mm f/1.8, i have been dying to use it for a shoot for about a week now. All the models i have shoots with won't be free until after next week, so i just had to get my sister out and have a play with my new lens.

Grace
By Joy Harjo
for Darlene Wind and James Welch
I think of Wind and her wild ways the year we had nothing to lose and lost it anyway in the cursed country of the fox. We still talk about that winter, how the cold froze imaginary buffalo on the stuffed horizon of snowbanks. The haunting voices of the starved and mutilated broke fences, crashed our thermostat dreams, and we couldn’t stand it one more time. So once again we lost a winter in stubborn memory, walked through cheap apartment walls, skated through fields of ghosts into a town that never wanted us, in the epic search for grace.
Like Coyote, like Rabbit, we could not contain our terror and clowned our way through a season of false midnights. We had to swallow that town with laughter, so it would go down easy as honey. And one morning as the sun struggled to break ice, and our dreams had found us with coffee and pancakes in a truck stop along Highway 80, we found grace.
I could say grace was a woman with time on her hands, or a white buffalo escaped from memory. But in that dingy light it was a promise of balance. We once again understood the talk of animals, and spring was lean and hungry with the hope of children and corn.
I would like to say, with grace, we picked ourselves up and walked into the spring thaw. We didn’t; the next season was worse. You went home to Leech Lake to work with the tribe and I went south. And, Wind, I am still crazy. I know there is something larger than the memory of a dispossessed people. We have seen it.
Local model and photographer, Grace joined me for a TFP portfolio shoot a few months ago. She was absolutely fantastic to work with.
El Grace did some afternoon DJ work for us in the Garden of Eden during Fantasy Fest 2011. Lovely young women and a local of the Florida Keys.

What a delightful and energetic woman Grace is. She came to my studio all fired up to create some cool images. We had a lot of fun during our session.
I saw them in the food court at the mall on a rainy Saturday. They stood out from the crowd with their matching party hats. I wondered if they were a bridal party but when I approached them to inquire, they said today was Blood Day.
It was only then that I noticed their hats were decorated with images of blood drops. I was intrigued and asked if one would be interested in participating in my Human Family photo project.
One of the women was particularly intrigued and asked for more information about the project. She was impressed by sample photos on my phone and was happy to participate. Meet Grace.
Grace explained that she and her friends had come to Kingston from Toronto to celebrate Grace's 22nd birthday which is today. Grace decided to add in a public service element to her birthday celebration and make a blood donation, hence the hats which were designed by computer by one of her friends.
I moved Grace just a few steps to take advantage of light coming from a skylight and took just two portraits - one being a traditional head and shoulders shot and one with Grace proudly displaying the bandage from today's blood donation. (That pose reminded me of the famous World War 2 "Rosie the Riveter" poster).
Grace's friends agreed to a group photo to show how we met.
It was a fun encounter as they were all in a celebratory birthday mood and quite interested in the concept of the Human Family project.
Grace's message to the project reflected today's generous blood donation theme: "If you've got extra, give it away." Great message since a blood donation is literally the gift of life.
Thank you, Grace, for participating in my photo project. You are my 937th submission to The Human Family Group.
You can see more street portraits of strangers and read their stories by visiting The Human Family.
Mission accomplie ! La structure pour les futurs panneaux solaires et un nouveau déperditeur statique sont installés et fonctionnels ☑️ Incroyable d’avoir vécu ça avec Aki à l’extérieur : c’est le genre d’expérience qui vous lie encore plus. Et grâce au professionnalisme de Megan, Mark et Shane à l’intérieur, aidés par Oleg et Piotr qui se remettaient tout juste de leur sortie à eux et avaient du travail tout le weekend, et des équipes sur 🌎, on ne s’est jamais senti seuls dans le grand vide. (Et on nous a même gardé de la 🍦 pour le retour, si ce n’est pas un équipage de rêve…) (oui, après presque 7 heures à se mouvoir dans un scaphandre aussi rigide que protecteur, les calories et un dîner roboratif sont *très* bienvenus). Emploi du temps léger aujourd'hui pour récupérer, puis retour des expériences mardi. 💪
My first spacewalk without Shane is a wrap, more than happy to be with Aki though! Even though it was just the two of us outside, we never feel alone, with Mark, Megan and Shane on the inside following and helping, and the best teams on Earth over the radio we felt like an extension of a well-oiled machine! They even saved some 🍨 for us afterwards, #dreamteam. Spacewalks last 7 hours and are like top sport so we need the calories afterwards! The new solar panels are ready to be slotted in to the base structure we assembled, these will be installed sometime next year, handing over to the next team to keep maintaining and improving the station and what it stands for.
