This is my Taylor 522e. I've been putting off changing the strings for months. It has a slotted headstock, which makes fitting the strings a fiddly job. But now, there's no excuse.
-------------------------
The task is to explore the house, inside and out, finding new ways of looking at the familiar things that surround me every day, and literally shedding new light on them - hopefully producing a worthwhile photograph.
Might not be one every day, but we'll see.
that's not so isolated.
went on a tour of Trenton Correctional Institution in middleofnowhere South Carolina yesterday with Iraqi prison officials.
I tried to shoot this single grass, whilst it was "blowin' in the wind".. I'm not sure if the top part is motion blur or out of focus because the wind has blown it out of the focal plane (probably a bit of both).
Also, I was lucky to catch the seeds breaking free ;-)
This next set of photos comes from Bathsheba for a recent assignment in that area. Bathsheba is one of my favourite places in Barbados. The landscape of that entire area is amazing, but I decided to focus on the smaller bits that make up the whole.
There's nothing highly special about this simple shot. I wasn't going to post it at first but it's a part of the Bathsheba set. And it is "tropical".....kinda! :) While I was sitting on the shoreline, I noticed this coconut drifting by on the waves. So I grabbed it and decided to use it to practice some composition and framing. I couldn't get a shallow enough depth of field using aperture alone with this lens so I used the telephoto setting of about 200mm.
Maybe if I had to think of something philosophical to say, I would probably say that sometimes we are all adrift in life and simply waiting to find the right shore to start the process of regeneration again. Like this simple coconut....
Anyway, enjoy the weekend, everyone! Here's to finding your "perfect shore".
Things have been hard for me. I'm working through a lot of issues and problems that I'm only just now discovering that I have. The way that I view the world is through a damaged lens, and the reality of it is that it isn't healthy in the slightest. I have been hurt multiple times, and instead of taking the time to heal from that pain, I've continued to move. I've drowned myself in other people until I've lost all sense of self.
More recently, I've been focusing on myself, and trying to be happy, and things are finally going well for me. For a long while there, I was just as bad as the people who hurt me in the first place.
Originally, I took these pictures for myself and I wasn't going to post them on here in the first place, but I've decided to do so because I like them a lot, and want to share them. I want to formally apologize to everyone that I have done wrong in the past. I now forgive myself for my mistakes, and I will take the time to learn from them. I'm sorry to everyone I've ever wronged. Moving forward, my past will remind me, but it will not define me.
As I walk by I see a young lady that is alone, isolated deep within her thoughts. People walk by and dont stop to see if she is ok. They are too self obsessed I their own live to give a thought to one that may have too much worry and can't cope.......

Is this what isolation does to you. Can't be bothered to dress properly.
Well its the weekend.... I think? (every day is the same) and this is when I usually post a picture of this type.
Keep safe everyone.
