It's not so easy loving me
It gets so complicated
All the things you gotta be
Everything's changing
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through
When I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waiting with
Your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
From myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself
- Christina Aguilera

Let's see...yesterday's song got to Pimp, but not to Tara. Let's see how we do with today's choice of Christina Aguilera. When she first came on the scene way back in the day with Genie in a Bottle, I was skeptical. She seemed like a snotty brat and I just didn't care for her attitude. However, with very little time, I grew absolutely obsessed with her voice. Seriously. For all the Christina-haters out there, I challenge you to find something wrong with her voice. She is amazing. One of my all-time favorite female voices. And I don't care if the whole world hates her, I adore her. I'm sure Tara is losing faith in me right now. :)
So today's song is Save Me From Myself. It's soft and slow and lovely and so true. Andy has saved me from myself more than once, and continues to do so on a daily basis. We both do that for each other. Which, if you ask me, is a really great foundation for a relationship. We help to lift each other's burdens and we step in and act as the voice of reason for each other in our darker moments. We rely on each other. And I love that.
In other news, I had a couple of really great phone conversations today that may just lead to a job in the next couple of weeks. Fingers crossed. Stay tuned!

A Similar attempt on a Ground Beetle entitled
'Ground Beetle - Abax parallelepipedus on a Rainbow' which you can view here - www.flickr.com/photos/sequentialmacro/6920965687/in/set-7...
In this photo i used my CD/Blue Ray drive as the Stacking device, manually moving it back and forth to get the pictures i needed for the stack. It took me 60 - 70 images to get this amount of detail and focus, but it could have been better with more time.
Light has always been a problem with Beetles but i did manage to over come this by decreasing the Light intensity to 1/16th and then counteracting this by decreasing shutter speed, thus letting more light in enabling more detail in the final outcome.
Using my 'Helping Hands', which arrived last week, i placed them onto the cd drive which help the Beetle in place infront of the objective (4x + Bellows ) This allowed me access to move the motor backwards using my remote to take a photo each time without touching the camera body to by pass any blur for the slow shutter speed.
If you wish to view on black click the photo, have a great week and keep busy guys, cheers !
A helping hand to one’s elders is a duty that expresses kindness and love.
This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera and KOWA 1:3.5/55mm lens with a Zenza Bronica 67mm SY48•2C(Y2) filter using Ilford Delta 100 Pro film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitalized using Photoshop.

The helping hand in Corona crisis,..... Regal Princess.
Stuck at sea for weeks ! A Cruiseship of the Holland America Group came to the port of Rotterdam on may 6th 2020, to bring back a crew of 1000 people that where stuck at sea. Due to the Corona-crisis, it wasn't possible to fly back home, so the Holland America Group was doing the repatriation by their selves. Here we see the ship at the Wilhelminakade in Rotterdam, (Kop van Zuid) the Netherlands.
Wekenlang vast op zee, nu per cruiseschip aangekomen in Rotterdam.
Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid.
Een cruiseschip vol werknemers van de Holland America Group is woensdagmiddag 6 mei 2020, aangekomen in de haven van Rotterdam. De circa duizend bemanningsleden zaten wekenlang vast op zee.
Door de coronacrisis was het niet mogelijk om met het vliegtuig naar huis te gaan. Aan boord was er geen werk te verzetten, omdat er nauwelijks cruisereizen zijn. Onder de teruggekeerde bemanningsleden zijn veertien Nederlanders.
De Regal Princess blijft tot vrijdag aan de Wilhelminakade in Rotterdam liggen. De komende weken zullen er meer van dit soort repatriëringsschepen aankomen.

Dani sometimes feels like the odd one out being so little but when mommy and daddy explained that being little means you get treats and cuddles and lots of play time, it made her feel a bit better.
Still, she wanted to see what it was like to be big...

Young Mama up on the roof at The Dog Palace.
It's Monday morning here in Thailand and the
plans for today have been shifted to tomorrow.
Mr Blondie will be taken to the dog clinic
but coordinating a vehicle has become
elusive. It looks like tomorrow 4 sure.
Also inoculations will be picked up
for Miss Molly & Mr Little Larry ;-)~

Even though the storm has passed, the recovery from Hurricane Matthew continues. Many of us were extremely lucky to receive only minor damage but not all of our neighbors were as fortunate. As part of the effort to help, Team Rubicon has been working with recruits from the Virginia Beach Fire Department in this home in Windsor Woods to facilitate their recovery.
For up-to-date information on city services/closures or to report property damage, please visit the VBGOV websites Hurricane Matthew update page or call (757) 385-3111.
You can also follow us on social media at Facebook, Twitter , and Youtube.
Operation Blessing is also organizing volunteers to work in the community. If you would like to help, call (757) 284-9183. Volunteers will meet at CBN Corporate Support Building, 977 Centerville Turnpike, Monday through Saturday. Registration is 8 a.m., orientation is 8:30 a.m.
Team Rubicon is an international non-profit disaster response organization that unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy disaster response teams, free of charge to communities affected by disasters across the country.

Happy New Year
Here are 5 different ways to enhance lips in a photograph, depending on what results you want to achieve.
A: Plain
B: Enhance richness, but not shine.
1. Select the lips (I suggest using the Path tool and a small amount of Feathering). If the edge of the lips is too well-defined and sharp it will look unnatural, so the feathering is necessary.
2. Create an adjustment layer - the selection will automatically become the mask. Use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and increase saturation and darkness, OR use a Levels or Curves adjustment layer and pull in the darker and midtone values.
C: Shimmery lipstick.
Use 2 adjustment layers.
1. Using a lip-shaped selection, create a Levels adjustment layer and darken the area by pulling in the dark and midtone values.
2. Create a second Levels adjustment layer that pulls in the whites and lightens overall; set the layer to Screen or Lighten mode. This layer should only mask in the highlight areas where you want glossiness. Try to keep some striations to keep it a little more natural.
D: Glossy lips.
1. Create one lip-shaped Levels adjustment layer to darken the darks and midtones.
2. Create a second layer set to Lighten mode, and paint highlights on in white. Making the highlights slightly "blobby" with a small amount of blur will give a more liquid glossy look.
E. Dark matte lipstick.
1. Duplicate lips onto another layer, set to Multiply.
F. Glossy dark lips:
1. Duplicate lips onto a new layer, set layer to Multiply.
2. Create a new layer, set to Lighten or Luminosity mode, paint white highlights.
3. Duplicate highlights layer, give a Gaussian blur, reduce opacity of layer.
Not shown: You can also experiment with the Plastic Wrap filter to create juicy lips - remember to set the layer mode to Lighten.
Was testing out some new "helping-hand" rigs I bought, as well as some lighting, and came up with this. Parts of this image you will see in my upcoming film (coming September!).
And hope you are too!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends who are celebrating tomorrow.
And, "Thank You" to our other friends around the world - We are grateful for all you do!
