It is almost like two different worlds.
Being alone is when my mind just goes wild. If I'm in any pain from my Sickle Cell things can get bad quickly.
More and more I'm forgetting things like where I am, who I am and who my friends are. My pain crisis last longer and are more frequent.. I've never had anxiety before but it gets so bad I can't control my breathing. I get dizzy and often times I fall.
The stress of being sick and alone is truly getting to me.
DNA isolation with Dr. Beck at the Pryer Lab, Duke University, ground plant material in CTAB buffer after addition of chloroform/isoamyl alcohol, inversion mixing, and centrifugation, 4 Mar 2010.
"Isolation is the gift. The rest is a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it ... because it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way."

Using a shallow depth of field, I managed to accompany a sense of abandonment of the middle candy piece.
The dancing tanchōzuru:
The third isolation and this time a juvenile attempting to attract the females.
With wings slightly raised and heads held high, a pair of red-crowned cranes begin to march, their broad, three-toed feet puncturing the snow as they trumpet loudly and steam rises from their beaks. The male calls first, followed closely by the female—several notes in quick succession, strengthening their bond. But this vocal parade is just the prelude.
Now the pair begin to dance, bowing heads, flapping wings, leaping up and down and spinning around, sometimes picking up sticks and leaves and tossing them in the air. Their momentum triggers other couples to do the same, then the juveniles join in, until the whole flock is in motion—mesmerising flashes of red, black and white, flickering across the snowfields. It’s a sight worth going a long way to see.

A strawberry patch in Surrey. It was actually quite busy, but I managed to get a shot with nobody else in it. Don't worry about my daughter, she was fine and happily snacking on the strawberries!

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!

Yet another project I would like to begin, this one comically ambitious. In the Qingling mountains there is a tradition of hermitism dating back to the Qin Dynasty, when scholars would flee to the mountains from nearby Changan to hide from the Emperor's wrath. Recently I have discovered it may be possible to find some of the modern day versions of these self-exiled recluses and potentially photograph them.
This man isnt anything like an extreme hermit, just a monk that lives on the mountain overlooking the town of Zhenan, not too far below. He is able to go down to buy fruit and supplies whenever he likes.
This is a test shot to see how well a project would work that emphasised the surroundings and attempted to protect the isolation hermits ultimately seek. I think to do the whole thing properly I will need to go large format though, to properly showcase the scale. Will do more research into feasability.
