This 12mm long horse fly (Tabanidae) bit me in my neck when I was out looking for subjects. I instinctively whacked it thinking it was a mosquito. It actually seemed to be more surprised than hurt by my treatment but I got the opportunity to snap a couple of shots of it before it went looking for less violent victims.
Here you see it cleaning its large beautiful eyes with the brushes on it's front legs.

A Japanese teacup. I have another one with a bear nose (I'm too old for this... I know).
I've got a severe headache since yesterday. So, I didn't take coffee today, but a lot of herb tea instead.
Die Mückensaison beginnt. Auch dieser Grasfrosch wird nicht verschont. In wenigen Tagen, wenn die erste Generation Mückennachwuchs hervor kommt, wird man es wohl nicht mehr ohne Mückenschutz aushalten.

Bárbara Morais and her photographic kitchen
I read somewhere that Bárbara doesn't like to be called as photographer, and to understand that we have to get to know her a little better.
Bárbara is a doctor in a small village in Trás-os-Montes, Portugal. Mother of 3 girls, devoted wife and of course, a good cook!
I've always said that photography (especially analog photography, which is Barbara's area of expertise!) has a lot in common with cooking: As in cooking recipes are created and invented, in analog photography formulas for developers are created, using “spices” - chemical products - in trial and error attempts. While the cook adds salt, the alchemist photographer mixes Methol, hydroquinone and other elements that you wouldn't believe.
This is how Bárbara works, developing her films with strange chemicals and different formulas: Have you ever thought about developing a film with coffee, with or without adding vitamin C? And with wine, or with onion skins, or olive leaves? Paracetamol is good for a headache, but Bárbara uses it to develop films! The result she gets is amazing!
Afterwards, she prints her photographic art on plant leaves, egg shells and many other surfaces. She makes chlorophyll print, wet plate, dry plate, cyanotype, photosensitized egg shells, photographic papers and other homemade photosensitized materials!
With great talent, she wanders her interest among landscapes, nudes, people and everyday objects.
You can find more details at barbaramorais.net, her website where you will discover much more about her and her fantastic artistic world!
It is a pleasure to present her work here at ****contrasted gallery!
I hope you all like it too!
Hugs to all,
Ze Lobato
II don’t want to live like this anymore. I have been in unbearable pain for 4 weeks now and the medication makes me woozy and can’t even take my pain away completely. The prospect of feeling like this the rest of my life just makes me cry. I want to do things, travel, have fun, finish my degree, but now it seems I will just have to sleep a lot for the rest of my life and be happy with the small things I can still do. I don’t want this. I don’t.
Sightseeing in Valencia. It's okay, I know I will probably be a tourist forever. Well, I just moved here a year ago!
In spite of her obvious splitting headache, this elegant lady continued to write on the tombstone with her pencil. For an alternative view of this figure, please see what my contact melquiades1898 saw through his viewfinder. Seen at the main cemetery (Hauptfriedhof) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Please view in full size for the painful head-splitting details.

Painted this at Plan B brixton as part of the refurb. Along the entrance corridor, throughout room 1, down the stairs, and even into the toilets. A long, fumey 5 days work. Big ups to alfa the dork.
‘Clous-Mannequins’ (2006) by Thomas Hirschhorn criticises the fashion industry. With the help of ordinary materials such as sticky tape and nails, Hirschhorn demonstrates how models are trapped in a straitjacket.

Working on Personification ideas for a digital photo challenge on www.dpchallenge.com for the World Photo Leage tournament.
Perhaps this image just sums up my loss of patience and lack of decent ideas when it comes to such a difficult theme.....And making that gash in the apple was no difficult task, more of a therapeautic relief after numerous failed ideas.
