“That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end.”
One more from yesterdays shoot.This one shot at Newport Pool, up close and personal.
Very different style from my usual work, but this shot really lent itself well to a full B&W treatment followed by a switch of blending mode to really isolate the pool.
then went for a bit of a wobbly vignette, just seem to work well.
Might have to sell my wide angle lens, my last 5 or 6 posts have all been shot with the 70-200.
loving it.
Cheers.
Pennington Flash - I like the isolation of the single boat in the shaft of the sunlight in the middle of the flash.

Brekky with friends in Kiama on Sunday morning ... pretty decent Sou Wester blowing cleaing the sky and whipping up the ocean a tad.
Dropped in to the 'Little Blowhole' in Kiama Downs for a quick look, should be a bit sheltered from the Westerly giving the waves a chance to do their thing.
Shot a few frames hand held ... just 'cause'

We spent over 3hrs, monsoon rain, with only a binbag for protection on this 'longtail boat' over lakes, passing by towering limestone outcrops covered in lush rainforest and through narrow channels between the trees to get to our destination - a few open huts with corrogated iron roofs (no walls) floating on tree-trunks on the lake. One of the best adventures i've had and the all-time favourite place I ever stayed.

If you ever find yourself at Khao Sok National Park in the south, stay at "Treetops" nearest the main entrance to the park. Ask for Dav and his mate Khlang - they'll take you.
Anything can look lovely when isolated. This scene looks beautiful in this isolated context, but in the broader scheme, the Hartland Dam and its environs are covered in trash: Everything from tires to mattresses to you name it. Across from the dam begin a series of piles of debris that have been accumulating for decades—mostly wood filled with indiscriminate trash. The Clarksburg Water Board had a commercial this past year about safe drinking water and even isolated on part of this dam; had they only panned left just a smidge, then we could see all that lies by our water. Up from the dam, though not in the water, and where I walk my Shadow each day, you can find four televisions, another mattress, and tons of roof shingles. You would think, if you visited Clarksburg and heard about our “Revitalization Efforts” that the city would want to clean the river—which lies beside a former RR track and has now become a failed part of the Rails to Trails project. This city is more interested in tearing down old historical buildings rather than rescuing them for posterity, more interested in spending untold money on new sidewalks and streetlamps, or building a new bus terminal and a pretty wall so those traveling on Route 50 (Clarksburg is right on Route 50) can see the pretty new wall that runs along it rather than clean up our natural habitat. All of this for a city that has crumbled over the last couple of decades and offers next to no business anymore. When I was a kid, this place was hopping. Now, it seems to relish in its own squalor. But if we can isolate downtown, pretty it up with a new building or two, new sidewalks, crosswalks, and lampposts, then the deceptive rest will take care of itself. Never mind the birds and fish and various mammals.
On the other hand, the title could have led me to a rant about how we are deceived in our political knowledge through isolated news coverage and biased, fib-filled commercials . . . but I shan’t go there.
Happy Friday!
