得獎感言:
在攝影的過程中,經常會碰到一些瓶頸,無法量產一些自己認為好的作品,希望藉由比賽來稍微肯定一下自我。
“攝影”的好處在於訓練我更敏銳地觀察週遭人事物,能看到別人所看不到的東西,即為樂趣之所在。

Winner’s Speech:
There must be some difficulties in the process of photography, so I want to break through these difficulties. I have now re-gained self-confidence by participating this photography contest.
What I’ve learned from photography is that I can observe things and people more penetratingly and perceive things that others may ignore, and that’s fun!
I'm continuing a series I started on Insta where I've been sharing my own personal struggles with Isolation and lack of access to quality medical care.
Once again I have a new medical team and once again this means my referrals are no longer available to me because once again it's been suggested that I also change medical insurance.
There's a big part of me that feels like I've once again allowed people to influence me into making bad choices for my overall health, wellbeing and existence.
I say this because I was scan away from starting chemotherapy that I've not had access to for well over a year. While the cancer is fully treatable and curable, it was stage three when it was finally diagnosed properly. I went nearly two years being told it was nothing, then to being told it was fat pockets or dislodged fat. That's not a thing. Fat doesn't just hang out in the body. it could become blood clots resulting in death. Lipodystrophy was once a common side effect of first generation drugs to treat what was once called "the gay cancer" or "GRID" Gay Retro Immune Disease. However today's medications is far more advanced and things like this are very very rare. She telling me it was this as well was simply incorrect. When the blood test cane back normal for cancer, I was ordered to forget it and let it go. March 10, 2021, two years after feeling the lumps grown larger and larger in my neck, under my arms and other areas and after two hospital stays and an AIDS diagnosis that came on February 3, 2021, after 12 years of controlled undetected HIV, but 41 days without access to the one pill I took daily only missing when I couldn't get them prescribed. It was like a 1 to 2 punch right to my face.
Friends who started this journey with me, went with me to every single medical appointment and saw what was happening are pretty much no longer available. Isolating me even more and left with feelings of my decline becoming too much for them and the burden of my being so sick, not with mental illness issues which have affected all of them, but my best friend the most, no work, bills mounting, eating cat and dog food and at times from garbage bins just so not to feel like this massive burden to them or this huge failure to myself.
I'm also not fighting for housing and thought of homelessness in my state creates more mental stress, anxiety, panic attacks. I no longer feel safe expressing how I feel or what I am dealing with 24 hours a day 7 days a week with no breaks. To know that threats of homelessness come from the very places I must turn to for support who hold my housing in their hands and can end it at anytime is very crippling.
It's come to my attention that the people I love, the people I consider my friends, the people I've trusted are saying things that have worked and are working against me completely devastates me.
from one pill a day and occasionally having to take a pain medication to help me control Sickle Cell is now these pills in the pictures.
1 pill twice a day
1 pill once a day
1 pill four times a day
1 pill 3 times a day
3 pills once a day
1 5ml dose every 6 hours
I have to set alarms in order not to forget.
I still have no idea if the cancer has spread any further. I've not had my colonoscopy
All of these pills come with hefty side effects, including heart and breathing problems, drastic mood swings, skin problems, brain issues, drowsiness, irritability, inability to function and death.
I must monitor my blood pressure and oxygen constantly.
I was already struggling to hold me camera and tonight I couldn't hold it still with a 50mm lens. I had to place it on a tripod.
95% of the time I am alone. My friend Andrew comes by on Sundays to take me and the dogs to Santa Monica, my hometown. Besides doctors appointments this is my only outing. He is the only contact I have with a human being in person. Imagine what this feels like.
This is my life........fading away
First attempt at low angle shot from newly bought Manfrotto MT190CXPRO4 tripod. It was harder than I thought because I have to take off my slippers as the tide approaches. My foot and legs were somehow scratch by sharp unknown objects which caused minor bleeding. It was a cloudy day with no visible sun, just when I was about to give up, the sky quickly turn dark and emit a dark orange hue, I endure the whole process and finally got the best shot out of it. I guess all is worth while.
I've been wanting to get back to sharing my photography on here for a while so what better time than while in isolation. This was a walk in Macclesfield forest 2 years ago. I love this place. It's so dark and mysterious. Always draws me in.
Her flesh quivers... she pauses alone momentarily, gasping to find the inner strength to fight the crushing pain. Beauty is suffering.
I believe we build our own cages.
I believe we close all our own doors.
I believe we are responsible for our own isolation…
…And that we are catalysts in our own escape…

ISOLATION
"Being Isolated
I Don't Feel Down
Not Really Irritated
Not Gonna Frown
Not Really Caring
Of What You Have To Say
Sometimes Just Bearing
Being Crowded All Day
In My Isolation
I Know What To Feel
No Needed Concentration
Cause My Emotions Arn't Steel
Being Alone
Always Feels Fine
My Isolated Home
No Limit To Time
I'm Isolated
A One Man Parade
My Mind Won't Be Infultrated
I Won't Loose My Cherade
Hiding In My Shell
I Open Up To None
The Walls Once Fell
I Could Do Nothing But Run
Life's A Masqurade
We're All A Fake
Be Real And You Fade
So Pretend For Your Sake
Being Crowded
Is Suffocating
Being Surrounded
Is Just Frustrating
They Talk To Me
About Things I Hate
Can't They See
For Friends It's To Late
I See A Specialest
About Isolation
I Have No Intrest
I'm At Destination
Do You Know It's Alright
To Hate Socializeation
With People I Fight
Just For Isolation
But One Day I'll Be Alone
In My Imagination
My Lonely Home

Justice League Watchtower, 4 hours ago.
The room fell quite for no less than a second, I stood across from Bruce, seeing the anger in his eyes from Diana's soon to come rampage.
WW: You cannot be serious Bruce!
B: He deserves to be here. He has passed each and every test I've thrown at him, even better than Dick did many years ago.
GA: Diana has a point, there is something off about this one Bruce.
B:Off? Of course he would be off! He witnessed his father's death, and that scars you permanently, I should know.
WW: Yet still, he seems more dark and damaged than you, or Dick.
NW: Everyone copes with tragedies differently, some could recover in a month, some could go insane. Bruce is right. He deserves to be here.
A: We must take heed. Diana isn't the villain here, she is trying to do what is best for the League.
WW: And let's not forget what happened to Damian and Jason.....
I'm in a voluntary isolation from the physical world until November 10th, when I hope to finish my final paper to graduate in university. This is why I'm quite inactive in my posts. But, be sure, I'm seeing your pictures whenever I can!
Hugs and Peace for you!
Pic by my bro,
PS by me.
Estou em um isolamento voluntário do mundo físico até 10 de Novemtro, quando eu esperto ter acabo meu trabalho final para poder obter a graduação na universidade. Por isso estou meio inativo nos meus posts. Mas, estejam certos, estou vendo suas fotos sempre que posso!
Abraços e Paz!
This photo takes in some remote country, including my vantage point from Scenic Highway 12. It's called Boulder Mountain Road here, and while it's a Utah state highway, this section between Boulder and Torrey wasn't paved until 1985. Prior to the paving, this part of Utah 12 was closed in the winter.
In the distance are the Henry Mountains. According to Wikipedia, they were "the last mountain range to be added to the map of the 48 contiguous U.S. states", another way of saying they were the last mountains in the country to be explored.
In front of the Henrys is a small portion of Capitol Reef National Park's Waterpocket Fold. My morning route on the Notom Road took me along the fold's opposite side for about twenty-five miles.

My life feels so derailed and it's not getting better. I do lots of praying and lots of crying. Been burning so much sage the smell is in my hair.
I said to friends that I feel like I'm at a rodeo I'm not at all familiar with, after really I feel like I'm in a boxing match with the heavy weight champion of the world and I'm getting the shit beat out of me.
I feel like I've aged so much in a matter of days, shaved years off my life and I did everything right. I was adherent to care, never missed a dose of medication, unless I didn't have access to it and this time not having access to it could very well end my life or I'm going to have to deal with other medical things I've never dealt with before and have no history of in my family.
The only thing this has to do with Covid is that everything cannot be focused on it. Especially when millions are already battling other conditions.
