I was so bored during the COVID-19 lock down that I took a pic of my bottle of hand sanitizer pretending it's a blaster from Star Wars movies. =P
As selected by solecism for Utata's Viewer's Choice project.
I have a hereditary condition whereby over a period of many years the material that the skin of the hand is attached to tightens up. The doctor said this condition has been pinpointed to people with northeastern Germany heritage. I knew that I had a lot of German in me. It took a doctor to tell me what part of Germany.
Anyway, this condition keeps the fingers from being able to straighten. On this hand it is mostly affecting the small and middle fingers. The small finger has lost about 45 degrees of movement. When it gets to 90 degrees the doctor will operate. There will be a scar but the movement will be restored.

By total accident I lined the heel up with the edge of the chair perfectly. heh.

Random fact: These red shoes are my wedding shoes.
Yes, I'm aware that is odd. :) and no, I didn't wear the socks.

She learned to love him before he thought it was even possible, so he didn't have a chance to hide & mess it up & while it was a little scary at times, mainly he could not even imagine the world without her there

There is an old, wooden house on the hill over Töölö Bay in Helsinki. It's really huge, 1200 sq. meters, three floors, attic, basement, and innumerable large rooms. I had been strolling past it for more than a decade, but had never walked in. Until today.
Each room in the house is filled with lots and lots of furnitures, books on top of each other, old dolls, flower vases, radios, music instruments, clothes, costumes, toys etc. etc. etc...
The first floor of the house has been converted into a flea market. Endless piles with different objects have been accumulated there, covered with layers of dust and time.
The other floors are incredibly beautiful with old antiques, stuff that has surely seen better days way long into the past. And yet, its beauty remains still alive in Aulis' old house.
I have to thank the gorgeous Scilla siberica on the hill which had paved my way into Aulis'.
The blue flowers spread all the way down and so I climbed up the hill to photograph them. And then, I found myself in front of a door. It said OPEN, so I walked in.
An older man was standing there, looking busy sorting different things. It was Aulis, 80 y/o.
"Hello, may I come in ? Is this yours?"
He answered positively to both questions and I walked straight into the flea market.
A few minutes later I decided it was enough and made my way out.
Aulis was still busy by the door. I thanked him and said that he had got lots of stuff in there.
"Indeed," he said, "it's a lifetime collection."
Something in the way he said it made me ask to make a photo of him.
"Sure, go ahead, you won't be the first. Lots of people have been here taking pictures of me... Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs and bring some photos to show you."
I was quite surprised at his enthusiasm and waited. A minute later Aulis came up with a magazine and a colour print.
"Awesome photos," I said. "Where were they taken?"
"Here, downstairs," he said. "Would you like to have a look?"
I surely would. And that's when Aulis opened up his home for me. Not only his home, but his incredible life stories came up, rushing out of his memory in a speedy rhythm.
I followed him down the stairs and was amazed by what my eyes suddenly saw. I felt as if I had just stepped into a time machine. I found myself standing a century, maybe two centuries ago.
Dusky light came through the windows giving the room a, somewhat, spooky atmosphere.
There were green plants and orchids everywhere on pot poles and plenty of books on the shelves.
The floor was covered with thick carpets.
In the middle of the room, amidst the plants, there was an old armchair covered with an animal fur and I asked Aulis to sit down so I could make a portrait of him.
He mentioned that it was actually on this very armchair that the photo, he had shown me a bit earlier, was taken.
He then turned on two small lamps and started to play a well-known Finnish melody on the piano.
The first piano was from the 1920s and the second was two hundreds years old, he explained.
"Do you intend to sell them," I wondered loudly and Aulis said that the right price hadn't been offered yet, although somebody from Russia had shown interest in buying the older piano.
However, I felt that Aulis didn't really care for selling and that the issue of the price was only an excuse to hold on to his cherished collections.
A few stories later, we walked up the stairs and Aulis opened the gate to the upper floors for me.
"This part of the house is not for everybody," he pointed out, "but you may go up and feel free to look around for as long as you wish. I will be here down doing some work in the meanwhile."
An hour or so later I came down, although I could definitely have stayed there for a whole day.
The two upper floors were packed with ancient treasures, visual gems of all kinds which totally inspired the photographer in me. It was truly amazing. I had no idea that such a place existed within the old house on the hill.
"You have to convert your home into a museum," I said.
"Well, I am a museum item myself," he laughed.
Aulis has been collecting furnitures for the past five decades. People knew about him and were used to call him to come over and empty their attics. He would bring the content of many attics into his home--where he lived with his family, a wife and two sons--and completely furnished the big residence with these collections.
I asked Aulis whether I could come back and bring along my husband.
"You are welcome," he said, "anytime!"

a present from staceyjoy of red lipstick (hippest store in red hook) fame
oh girlfriend,
you so get where i live
these are the absolute sweetest
i think i'll be the one buying you that ice cream
So tell me what I pay for the price of freedom
No healthy survival in rooms unattached
just trying to touch you, but never to hold you
In this burning confusion, with hands made of clay
you've got your hand on your head
you've got your hand on your head
Whilst on the street taking some shots in Hillsborough, Johannesburg this guy came up and started asking for money , I showed him my pockets were empty ( as my friend advised me to leave my money phone and valuabes in the car).
But this dude wasn't going to take no for an answer , and followed me for about 15 minutes which made me feel guilty and was just a bit unsettling .
I genrally try as a rule to help the people on the street that do something to help themselves, like I was happy to buy a painting from one guy and also some I gave a pretty decent amount to some young girls that came up and started doing some street dancing.
I know that its not possible to help everyone but I have respect and admiration for those people on the street that don't just beg and try and help themselves .
PLEASE NO LARGE AWARDS , IMAGES , LINKS TO PHOTOSTREAMS OR FLICKRIVER ETC
Lots of little details in this picture. One of my favorites from this shoot.

It was a pleasure on Thursday to get a chance to meet the First Minister of Wales, Eluned Morgan , and the Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca-Davies and explain the work we're doing to try and save the High Brown Fritillary. I was representing local volunteers working on the project to try and help this wonderful species. It was a cold and foggy day, but despite this IO think the visit was a great success and hopefully raised the profile of our work to conserve this wonderful habitat and iconic species. Hands of time is by Ron Sexsmith , it's Britains most threatened species and we hope the time isn't running out. last year was a particularly bad year. Obviously his wasn't my photo, but a commercial photographer recording the visit.
Rob and I went to dinner with our friend Kareem tonight and I got them to play a game of rock, paper, scissors so that I could get a pic for today's challenge. Not my best, but acceptable. Right?
