To Prologue of the Story "The Doors"
Free from the suffocating conformity of her past world, she marveled at the liberated realm she had discovered. The societal norms that had once bound her like chains now dissolved into mere wisps of vapor, revealing a vibrant and eccentric world where individuality flourished without judgment. Questions that had haunted her previously now seemed trivial, like echoes from a distant dream.
In this new reality, she reveled in the absence of societal expectations and the freedom to explore her own desires and beliefs. The constant bombardment of opinions and judgments from the masses, which had once plagued her thoughts, vanished into oblivion. Instead, she found solace in the profound connection she forged with her own inner voice.
The constructs that had once defined her every move — the endless rules, the bizarre limitations, and the arbitrary boundaries —seemed like relics of an oppressive regime now a distant memory. She marveled at how people had blindly accepted these artificial constraints, allowing them to dictate their thoughts and actions.
The weight of others' opinions, which had once weighed heavily upon her shoulders, now lifted as though they had been carried away by the ethereal winds. The suffocating pressure to conform to an ill-defined and ever-changing social norm was gone, replaced by a sense of liberation and self-discovery.
Amidst the mesmerizing symphony of strings and cascading melodies, her senses soared to unimaginable heights. As she immersed herself in the graceful movements of the stranger’s body, a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues and ethereal impressions exploded before her eyes. The boundaries between the known and unknown blurred, giving way to an unrestricted exploration of a world where questions and limitations ceased to exist.
Within this newfound realm, the music consumed her, dissolving the trivial distractions that once cluttered her mind. The beauty and perfection of This Enigma, in its celestial dance, became the focal point of her being, eclipsing all preconceived notions and social norms. The age-old debate of human decency, plastic surgery, and societal expectations melted away, leaving only an unbridled appreciation for the perfection of form.
With each passing chord, the enchantment grew stronger. Time seemed to stand still as she reveled in the harmony of movement and sound, oblivious to the outside world. Questions of identity, purpose, and morality faded into insignificance, replaced by an overwhelming sense of tranquility and fulfillment.
In this realm of boundless beauty and peace, she discovered a freedom that transcended all earthly constraints. The body became a canvas upon which the universe painted its masterpiece, a testament to the infinite creativity and wonder of existence. And in the embrace of this celestial symphony, she found solace and liberation, a sanctuary where the superficiality and trivialities of the mundane world held no sway.

Today I'm trying to combine my Monday floral greeting with a photo from my last trip to the High Tatras in Poland.
We're back in the foothills of the mountains. But this time it's just after sunrise as I kneel in this beautiful flower meadow drenched in morning dew.
I tried (using focus stacking) to focus on the beautiful blossoms and the impressive mountains simultaneously, which is quite a difficult task. While the result isn't ideal, I'm happy with the compromise.
This balancing act is also the message I want to convey with this photo.
We often find it difficult to focus on one thing without losing sight of another, equally important thing.
This could be, for example, our demands on ourselves on the one hand and our own well-being on the other. Or our need for individuality versus our need for community.
Our lives are full of such "opposites," which are essentially siblings. Surely you can think of more, right?
One approach to solving this problem is to slow down and be willing to compromise.
And so this week, I invite you to take the time to look for the "needs siblings" in your life and check whether they are in the right balance.
And if not, what such a compromise might look like.
Heute versuche ich mal meinen montäglichen Blumengruß mit einem Foto meiner letzten Reise in die Hohe Tatra nach Polen zu verbinden.
Wir befinden uns wieder im Vorland der Berge. Doch dieses Mal ist es kurz nach Sonnenaufgang während ich auf dieser wunderschönen von Morgentau getränkten Blumenwiese knie.
Ich habe versucht (durch Fokus stacking) auf die wunderschönen Blüten und die beeindruckenden Berge gleichzeitig zu fokussieren, was eine recht schwierige Angelegenheit ist. Das Ergebnis ist zwar nicht optimal, ich kann mit dem Kompromiss jedoch gut leben.
Dieser Spagat ist auch die Botschaft, die ich mit diesem Foto verbinden möchte.
Häufig fällt es uns schwer uns auf eine Sache zu fokussieren, ohne eine andere, genau so wichtige Sache, aus den Augen zu verlieren.
Das könnte zum Beispiel unsere Ansprüche an uns selbst auf der einen Seite und unser eigenes Wohlergehen auf der anderen Seite sein. Oder aber unsere Bedürfnis nach Individualität im Gegensatz zu dem Bedürfnis nach Gemeinschaft.
Unser Leben ist voller solcher "Gegensätze" die im Grund jedoch Geschwister sind. Euch fallen bestimmt noch mehr ein oder ?
Ein Lösungsansatz ist die Entschleunigung verbunden mit der Bereitschaft für Kompromisse.
Und so lade ich Euch diese Woche ein Euch die Zeit zu nehmen, um nach den "Bedürfnisgeschwistern" in Eurem Leben Ausschau zu halten und zu überprüfen, ob sie in der richtigen Balance sind.
Und falls nicht, wie ein solcher Kompromiss aussehen könnte.

“The eighth wonder of the world
Remains a woman who
Understands the value of her time
Because, she understands
The value of her self-worth.
And when she understands
The value of both her time and self-worth,
She can never let anyone treat her
Less than that...
Because her truth is now
Based in her ability to transform
The world, by transforming
Her world, first.
And so, she lives...
Freely, uninhibitedly
In now’s possibility,
Knowing, that now is
All she needs – to breathe,
To be,
The best version of herself.
Today, right now.
Her secret
Weapon through her individuality,
Her gift to this world.
Her unedited - You.”

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend of photography - enjoy!
I've always preferred the understated. Always avoided the brash, the common. Always liked the different, the unusual, even the weird. The more interesting. Not for me, seeking the 'likes' of others, or needing to conform to be one of the in-crowd. Unfortunately, now so much of our world is fashioned on looks and imagery. It's all so transient. And so shallow: discarded just as quickly as it is obtained, just as soon as a brighter object takes our eyes. Fortunately I think that so much of what's best in the world remains hidden from the masses.
Not many things last like the written word: pen on paper. But we don't see handwriting so much these days. But, if you think about it, it is truly one of the most special things you will ever see. Text and email won't have the same longevity, and certainly don't have the same character. And text and email have literally no individuality. Even if you add emojis! It's still true to say the written word will last longer than the greatest memory! I know my own handwriting has worsened through lack of use. Will there come a time when we forget how to hold a pen and write a sentence? So much for the three R's, HMM ?
by the old trick of using several photographers to photograph the same object. This always result in a varied range of approaches and technical manifestations, each one expressing a different impulse or subconscious energy stimulating its realization. In other words, this means the photographer’s individuality or self-identity works in varying degrees according to the degree of emotional contact with the subject matter :-)

I found this spot after searching for quite awhile feeling kinda out of it (read the blog to hear more on that).
The flowers are just about in full swing at the Columbia Hills in Washington. I hear Rowena is starting, too.
Update on my E. Oregon project: I have reached $2,300! This is incredibly exciting, as I have now surpassed my goal. I still have many days left so I'll still try funding further, but what this means is that the project will happen now, no matter what!

Artist Santi Flores exhibit "Here" installed in the Garment District. A total of 14 pieces each one covered in different colors and designs meant to symbolize unity, diversity and individuality.
I love the individuality that skateboarding brings me. No matter what's going on in my life, I can step on my board and all of life's problems would go away.
I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen with my eyes!
Shimmering in silky tones, trembling with beauty and individuality... joined in passion like grown from one stem, they belong together.
I discovered these, a salmon pink I had NEVER seen before! The petals look 'waxy' but feel silky soft!
The peony was originally introduced as medicine. In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means ‘medicine from China’.
However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed. In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.
THANKS for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

All shots of this series done with Leica M8 plus Voigtlander AS 2.8/90 wide-open. The location is one of Hertfordshire's garden centres (which, as I have told you before, I do regard as one of our barometers gauging the status of contemporary culture). This time, I had the chance of talking things through with one of the managers of the centre. First, the garden centre acquires and exhibits sculptures (and almost all sorts of them) because customers buy them. No surprise here, but as well no explanation as why they do so. Two, and importantly, the centre displays the sculptures according to visual criteria (difference of colour, background, focal or points of attraction). Three, the sculptures (as stand alone figures or in clusters) are located on critical junctions of the passage way through the centre. All this, in my view, creates a semi-sacred topography where customers (believers in the regeneration and wholeness of nature) perambulate as if on a procession. The content and individuality of any specific religion does not seem to matter, however, a general and undefined kind of spirituality does.

a fleeting moment on the streets of valencia. the glow of
afternoon light carves her out from the shadows, her blue bag and red flower almost defiant against the black. a portrait of individuality moving through the mundane, vivid and unapologetic.
✦[Enchantress] LIVY Outfit ✦
There are moments when the quiet of nature becomes my runway—when I recline among woven textures and moss-soft cushions at The Forest, wrapped in light and shadow, breathing in the wild. It is here that I surrender to the elegance of the LIVY Outfit by Enchantress, where couture artistry meets untamed instinct.
The silhouette is a symphony of allure: a sculpted dress that clings to my curves with lace-up side details, a sleek belt that cinches my waist in polished refinement, gloves that glide elegantly up my arms, and boots that climb daringly to my thighs. Every detail is crafted as if nature itself had stitched it from light and desire.
The true enchantment lies in the embroidered lace, available in three exquisite patterns:
✦ Leopard-spotted — feline grace, primal and golden.
✦ Zebra-striped — bold, graphic, a declaration of individuality.
✦ Floral lace — delicate blossoms laced into fabric, romantic as a garden in spring.
Each choice tells its own story: the predator’s prowl, the wanderer’s edge, or the dreamer’s bloom. The embroidery adorns dress, sleeves, and stockings alike, catching light with every movement like secrets whispered across my skin.
The HUD unlocks endless possibilities:
* 20 rich colors × 3 embroidery styles = 60 combinations for dress, gloves, and boots.
* 20 belt shades to refine or contrast.
* 5 gleaming metals for every clasp and ring.
With a touch, I slip from ivory florals into scarlet leopard, then into monochrome zebra boldness—reinventing myself in every moment.
Designed to embrace nearly every body, the LIVY Outfit fits:
* Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite
* Legacy, Legacy Perky, Bombshell
* eBody Reborn and Waifu
* GenX Classic and Curvy
* Inithium Kupra
* KahIene Erika
As I lounge in the dappled forest light, the embroidered lace feels alive—whether floral, feline, or striped, it binds me to the spirit of the wild and the elegance of couture. I am muse, I am mystery, I am untamed.
Step into the untamed elegance of the LIVY Outfit by Enchantress — choose your story: leopard, zebra, or floral, each one unforgettable.

In some cultures, it is used in rituals and traditional medicine.
In West Africa, a variety of Celosia (Celosia argentea) is also a valuable leafy vegetable, appreciated for both its beauty and nutrition.
Boldness and Passion: With its fiery colors and dramatic form, the cock’s comb symbolizes bold beauty, passion, and individuality.
Resilience: Often blooming in tough conditions, Celosia represents strength and endurance.
Facial tattoos hold diverse cultural significance, ranging from traditional markings of identity and status to modern expressions of individuality and belonging. In some Indigenous cultures, they represent a connection to heritage, spiritual beliefs, and life accomplishments, while in others, they mark milestones like marriage or the transition to womanhood. However, face tattoos have also been stigmatized, particularly in Western cultures, and their modern use can be seen as a way to challenge societal norms or express personal identity.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Yeah, I know that she is wearing leopard print but that eye contact is so piercing it was the only title that came to mind with an animal print coat. Enjoy full screen by pressing 'L'. My subject and I shared a smile after I captured this by the way - instantaneous reactions are not always an indication of how someone truly feels.

Colour re-edit of a shot from October 2019. Enjoy!
Pano-Sabotage with some bump-ups in colour saturation. So this is 99% straight out of the camera.
This is as close as I get to creating a "Christmas" or "Holiday" image. Being in retail and NOT supportive of the rampant materialism of what the Season has become, I tend to let this time of year go by without so much as a peep. But things are changing around this holiday. This is the first year in my entire life that I've seen stores putting their Christmas wares on sale to get people into stores. They're just not doing it.
Some have pointed to unprecedented sales via .com services - people chosing NOT to shop in actual stores, but to simply just order their gifts and have them delivered. Convenient, yes, but utterly impersonal. Finding that gift, the one that surprises you, rewarding yourself for all your shopping with a little something for yourself and jostling with the crowds, as stressful as it is at the time, all of that is taken away in simple efficiency.
Large corporations reap the profits of .com shopping and all the small merchants lose their shirts and their businesses as we march lemming-like more and more each year to a totally "corporate" society. All difference, individuality and uniqueness of invention is quietly euthanized in the smarm of artificial delights, such as this window, concocted by corporate merchandizers and market analysts. Electric, Plastic, Distraction. A glittering daze to blind the sight from seeing what monstrous 'machines' are doing behind the scene.
Some have also suggested an unspoken unease in the market place as we enter the final stretch to January 20, 2017. We'll find out soon enough .....
I don't wish to splash cold water on anyone's enjoyment of the Season, no matter how we each celebrate it, or not. My family and I, for the first time in a while, are going to have a very traditional Christmas dinner as we realize that we won't always have each other. Being together is what's MOST important for us. We've dropped everything else around the Season and just want to relish in each others' company. I wish you all the best of the spirit of the season, in whatever way makes you the happiest !!!!!
That serious analysis aside, this window was artistically too much to resist. I Pano-Sabotaged it with my iPhone, "pumped up the volume" of the colour and spiced it up a bit with some processing. The super indulgence of the image seemed to call out for it. Good to "go BANG" again.

A Portrait of a Puffin with Sand Eels at the Farne Islands Northumberland
In the rugged and windswept beauty of the Farne Islands, a puffin emerges as an emblem of resilience and charm. Perched on jagged cliffs that overlook the restless North Sea, this seabird offers a visual masterpiece—a portrait of nature's intricacies and vibrancy.
With its strikingly bold colours and unique features, the puffin is unmistakable. Its orange, triangular beak forms a vivid contrast to the black and white plumage that wraps around its compact body like a tuxedo, making the bird appear at once elegant and playful. The face, softened by shades of grey and white, is set with soulful eyes etched with delicate rings of black, lending an almost theatrical quality to its expression. In the portrait, every detail is a celebration of the puffin's individuality.
Clutched tightly within the puffin’s beak is a bounty of sand eels, their silvery bodies glinting like threads of quicksilver. These small, slender fish are essential to the puffin’s diet and survival, and their presence in the portrait speaks to the bird's prowess as a provider. The puffin’s beak, so vividly orange, becomes more than a decorative feature; it transforms into a symbol of resourcefulness and tenacity. Each sand eel tells a story of countless dives into the frigid waters, where puffins showcase their expert hunting skills.
In the moment of our creation we receive the stamp of our individuality; and much of life is spent in rubbing off or defacing the impression.

It's easier. Enjoy the itch of fake alienation together, enrage yourself cumulatively with an egregious sense of wrong, huddle together and demolish those filters of uncertainty that ought to trigger hesitancy and reflection, open your minds collectively to the pap of propaganda, phantom grievance and prompt remedy. And then you will be ready to cut off heads.

Nature teaches so many profound lessons in such a way that even the youngest child can understand! We are all part of a family -- and how wonderful that is!!! But, how equally wonderful that each and every one of us has unique talents, abilities, likes, passions, insights, and individuality. We can all learn from each other and collectively we can create amazing beauty!!!!
NOTE: Thanks so much for your many kind comments, faves, and invites. I especially thank you for your friendship! What a special joy you bring into my life each day!!!!
The primary lowrider symbol is the iconic "Lowrider Man" logo, a black and white illustration of a face wearing a hat and sunglasses, designed by artist Joe Hernandez in 1978 for Lowrider Magazine. This logo represents the vibrant culture, artistic expression, and community pride of the lowrider movement, which originated in the Mexican American and Chicano communities.
The "Lowrider Man" Logo
Origin: Created by Joe Hernandez for Lowrider Magazine in the late 1970s.
Visual: A stylized, realistic illustration of a face with a hat and sunglasses, a common visual trope in lowrider art and culture.
Symbolism: It embodies the passion and artistry of lowriding, symbolizing individuality, community, and pride within the Chicano culture.
Broader Meanings of Lowrider Symbols
Art on Wheels:
Beyond the logo, the cars themselves became a form of artistic expression, serving as canvases to represent dreams, hopes, and the identity of Chicanos.
Cultural Pride:
Lowriders and associated symbols are a celebration of Latino culture and heritage, fostering a sense of identity, connection to family, and a way to uplift the community.
Community and Tradition:
The symbols, including the logo and customized cars, signify a deeper meaning of commitment to a tradition and a lifestyle, often supported by car clubs and magazines like the Lowrider Magazine.
1931 Cadillac Series 452-A V16
One car which propelled the Cadillac name more than any other was the V16. Built to each customer’s individual taste, it became an American icon of prestige and helped the company out-perform Packard and their V12. Cadillac initially prepared the V16 to prodigiously power its flagship model with more cylinders than anything else available. The introductory brochure proudly claimed “Sixteen-cylinder powering, complete individuality in style ”that, in brief, is the story of the Cadillac V16.”
At a time when a custom coach-built body was a symbol of status and wealth, the V16 became the one of the most revered chassis. Cadillac wanted the engine to be as vibration-free as possible, and eight combustion cycles per crankshaft revolution combined with balanced internals meant that a V16 was one of the best available packages.
As early as 1926, Ex-Marmon engineer Owen Nacker designed the V16 from two straight-8 Buick units that shared a common crankcase and crankshaft. Each bank was independently operated and only shared a common, center mounted camshaft which operated the valves with pushrods. The 45 degree angle between the banks was unusually narrow to fit inside the chassis. It was named after its 452 inch cubic displacement and produced 185 bhp which was good for 100 mph. It also used a unique hydraulic valve silencing system that reduced noise and was a novel feature in its day.
Chassis details were straight forward and borrowed from Cadillac’s 353/355 line. This included a huge steel ladder frame, rigid axles and hydraulically powered drums brakes to help with the large weight of the car.
Cadillac general manager Lawrence Fisher and GM’s stylist Harley Earl were largely responsible for the V16s styling. Most of the cars were bodied by Fleetwood in Pennsylvania which was later purchased and moved to Michigan by GM to keep business in-house. The customer could choose between 70 or so available bodies that were elaborately finished and all highly individualized in detail. If that wasn’t enough, Cadillac could also provide a bare chassis to be fitted by the independent styling house of the customer’s choice. These arrangements helped Cadillac excel in the luxury custom market.
The engine bay was as finely detailed as many of the bodies that covered it. Chrome and polished aluminum, were used and the wiring loom was neatly concealed.
The V16 was released right after the stock market crash at the New York Auto Show on January 4th, 1930. It became the first production road car to use the V16 which both Marmon and Peerless were also trying to launch. The first V16 shown was a Madame X Landaulet that was designed by Harley Earl a year earlier for two 314-B V8 chassis. The Landaulet was a limousine with division glass, a leather roof and a folding rear roof portion. Following these two special cars, other 4-door Madame Xs were built by Fleetwood in Pennsylvania and these were among the most expensive bodies available.
Despite difficult times, and a price tag higher than any previous Cadillac, the V16 was ordered in huge numbers throughout 1930. GM paraded six cars for European tour and the cars received acclaim by both the press and public. Production reached 2000 examples by June, but by the end of the year, the economic depression nearly hauled sales.
During an eleven year production, 4076 V16s were constructed in several series. Minor upgrades separated the types which included 452, 452B, 452C, 452D. In 1936 they became the Series 60 and Series 90 a year later. These final production cars used a new wide-angle V16 that offered a much lower profile, but kept the same power rating. This new unit also had a square bore and stroke that lower piston speed and crankshaft stress.
After the initial flourish in 1930, production grinded away for ten years with only fifty units made per year. Later, Cadillac reverted to their V12 unit but only after the V16 had made its lasting mark. In the end, Cadillac lost money on every car sold, but it was worth the cost of propelling the marque as a whole. It was estimated the V16 cost Cadillac 54 million dollars.
To emphasize the V16’s place in Cadillac history, a one-of show car was made for the 2003 Detroit Auto Show. Called the ‘Sixteen Concept’, it used a 13.6 liter engine with around and incredible 1000 bhp and 1000 ft lbs of toque on tap. This show car was part of GM’s initiative to re-establish Cadillac as GM’s top brand. Due to its excessive length, the V16 was not feasible in modern cars.

In ‘The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House’, Korean-born, London-based artist Do Ho Suh invites visitors to explore his large-scale installations, sculptures, videos and drawings in this major survey exhibition.
Is home a place, a feeling, or an idea? Suh asks timely questions about the enigma of home, identity and how we move through and inhabit the world around us.
With immersive artworks exploring belonging, collectivity and individuality, connection and disconnection, Suh examines the intricate relationship between architecture, space, the body, and the memories and the moments that make us who we are.

Nest/s (2024)
Nest/s is connected to an ongoing fabric architecture series Suh calls ‘Hubs’. They form what he describes as an ‘impossible’ architecture. The Hubs serie is based on threshold, such as corridors or entryways, from spaces Suh has occupied throughout his life. In Nest/s, each section is drawn from rooms Suh has inhabited, which together create a continuous passageway. Unlike most building materials, the translucency and delicacy of the textile conveys impressions of the original space rather than acting as a precise replica. The work is made through centuries-old techniques of working with fabric in Korea. The polyester material is today used for traditional Korean summer clothing, emphasizing Suh’s interest in the relationship between architecture and the body. Nest/s breathable and porous quality allows in the surroundings of the museum and the sight of visitors passing through it, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside? Suh considers the fabric architectures to be ‘activated’ once occupied.

Taking close-up images of creatures, reveals their grace, their individuality, perhaps their personality and character, far more than if they are photographed from a distance.
The crowd at Kill the Bill protest, Sheffield takes the knee. I like the way that your eyes are drawn to the man at the front who was a little slow getting himself organised. I have other shots where the crowd is perfect but I preferred this one as it suggests individuality within collective action - which is actually the way it is.

gemini. I am her.
She embraces every bit of what it means to be a woman. She's confident and sees no reason to not speak her mind. Like a breath of fresh air, she's unpredictable, refreshing and spontaneous. She's adaptable and a natural pick-me-up in any situation. Boring or stagnant are not included in her repertoire. She's clever and inquisitive. If she's in your life, there'll never be a dull moment. She magnetises and enchants with her gift of wit and charm. A fast moving cloud, you can't pin her down. Like the wind, she’s restless and likes to move. A shape-shifting goddess with the energy of a hummingbird and the wisdom to reinvent herself effortlessly and easily with the seasons and cycles of her life. A flirty creature. A gravity defying doer. This fun-loving, high-in-demand, ligthtening fast queen is a keeper of mystery and the woman of our dreams.
gemini. I am her.
She’s hard to pin down, but once you do, you’ll have double the pleasure. To be loved by her means to be showered with endless surprises, heartfelt gestures, and a genuine desire to keep the spark alive. She is crazy affectionate and generous, and has a heart bigger than anyone. She is extremely sought after and is in high demand, and will offer you a love unlike any other. When she loves you, she will explore every facet of your being, cherishing your individuality and embracing the complexities of your heart. When in love, you will discover that she can stimulate your mind, ignite the soul and keep you on your toes. If her interest wanes, she will calculate whether or not you are worth her time. To fulfill all of her needs, you must satisfy her mentally, emotionally and sexually. She can be picky about who she gives her trust, so if she does commit to you, just know that she will be fiercely loyal and supportive. She can make you feel like the luckiest man alive.
gemini. I am her.
Most small Wisconsin towns feature these visually distinct yet structurally aligned downtown buildings, as the cheapest way to build but able to show some individuality.
Narrow but deep lots would tend to build up around certain gathering spots (churches, railroads) leading to this common downtown look.
Wisconsin tends to be known for "Brick facades, modest ornamentation and cream city block" and of course food, beer, brats and hardware.
Being from California this style of building has long since been abandoned due to our earthquakes, so interesting to see.
