"Known as “Vanadu,” Clarke Bedford’s peculiar art house is filled with a large collection of antiques, junk, and historical objects. Throughout the high-density cluster of sculptures and mosaics you’ll find a horned wooden owl, a black and white striped cone, a skull, a statue of John Locke, a German language globe stuffed inside a rusted horn, and a woman’s face covered in glass and colored fragments of junk.
Clarke Bedford also owns four fully functional art cars, made of everything from car parts to used washing machine pieces and moose antlers, which are typically placed on the curbside of the art house. The most famous car, the traveling Vanadu Ford, features vases and horns on the sides and graveyard spires on the roof, and it even has its own Facebook account. When he was working as a conservator for the Hirshhorn Museum, Bedford would drive one of the elaborate silver cars on his daily commute to work, and to this day the art cars remain one of Bedford’s major sources of transportation.
Clarke Bedford’s named his art car and house “Vanadu” to honor the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, whose famous “Kubla Khan” poem emerged from an opium-induced dream about the ancient Chinese city of Xanadu, once under the rule of Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. In addition to “Vanadu,” Bedford also calls his assemblage of recycled materials the Assemblage Cottage, pronounced with a French accent as “As-sem-blage Co-ttage.”"

You get a phone call, best friend Chelsea is up for the weekend. But, you can't go over and spend time with her. Can't have all those good moments you constantly live for, you have to stay home, you have to miss out, because growing up means you have to make sacrifices. The pile of work you have to do tells you that if you go out and have fun you'll get nothing done. I end up having to stay home, even though I do spend some time working on art pieces and the day goes all as hoped for. I know I'm missing out on something. I know I'm missing out on some of those amazing conversations I always have with this wonderful red headed girl Chelsea. I wish you never had to move away. Then again, I've been so busy, it probably would have been like this all the same. The distance still kills.
You get a phone call, best friend Chelsea is taking a train home soon. Gonna walk around town and take her to get her train. I know I should stay home, I still have lots of work to do. But I already stayed home this hole weekend. I've spent all Sunday agonizing, procrastinating, and hoping some conclusion would come to me. I spend all Sunday and all Saturday night trying to avoid something and make sense of it and hurt no one, keep everyone happy. My heads going a million times a minute. It's one thing one minute, something different the next. So I tell tell you I'll be over in ten minutes, get on some clothes, and run over to your house. We walk in a rush to the train station. I didn't even know we had a train station, look at that it's just down my street. I wish I could get on that train with you. I'm smiling like crazy because I just want you to feel how much I love you. I want to radiate the energy. We give you a hug, say cya later, and you're off and on the train. It's all so fast. I wish you never had to go. I spot you in your seat on the train and run to you stand close to the train, your window. Behind me Erin is yelling at me, getting mad, telling me to move, c'mon, I'm not supposed to stand here. I don't give a fuck. I stand there and sign language that I love you, then you do the same. It breaks my heart. It's been so long since we've had a conversation, a real one. You're trains moving now. Erin's yelling behind me to get back. I stand there for a second, watch you go and then come back. You tell me that it was dangerous for me standing there, I say I don't care. My eyes start to water as were walking. I wish you never had to leave. On the way to the train station you talked about palmistry, you're studying it. My hand, you said my hand was the water hand. It means that you're extremely emotional, that you feel everything. That, well, that's right on.

Five thousand is the largest isogrammic number in the English language.... well blow me! Closer to home it also represents the number of images that I have, with this one today, posted on Flickr (drum roll, round of applause, party time with jelly and ice cream .... NO clowns though please as they still induce me with fear enough to reach for the nearest sawn off twelve bore!)
So my Five Thousandth (not sure if that is even a word), upload to Flickr since joining some fourteen months ago, and for me a most appropriate frame that says everything for the things in photography that personally entice, thrill and excite me. Water based, taken in the Golden hour around sunrise when I am at one with my Nikon and Mother nature, a mass of birds pirouetting across the sky just behind the wings of the main silhouetted seagull to the left, a boat left high and dry awaiting the tide to set her free once more. Yep, I am never happier than when trying to capture a scene such as this one.
Flickr was a departure for me, a decision to go it alone, strip everything away and concentrate on what I loved doing, taking photographs for my own pleasure and to show my family and friends 'this is what I do'. Although I know that I will never sell a frame, nor be discovered, nor have a huge following....
What I do have is that same passion, drive, excitement and love for photography that first hit me aged seven with a box Brownie 120 roll film camera, and an upside down glass prism viewfinder. Along with the pleasure of talking cameras and meeting some lovely people on Flickr along the way, I am incredibly happy now just doing what I do and caring little for the things that perhaps once threatened to dull my passion for the wonderful world of photography.
At long last I am 'doing it for myself' and loving every moment.

What could be quickly dismissed as a bunch of weeds is really a complex community of mosses, grasses, forbes, and fungi. I love the way the rigide and orderly granite blocks contrast and yet support the organic and messy life growing between them. Taken beside the Manzanares river.

Deva is the Hindu term for deity; devatas (Devanagari: देवता, Khmer: tevoda (ទេវតា), Javanese, Balinese, Sundanese, Malay and Indonesian: dewata; Philippine languages: diwata), are a kind of smaller more focused devas. The term "devata" also means devas (deva in plural form or the gods). They are male and female devata. There are many kinds of devatas: vanadevatas (forest spirits, perhaps descendants of early nature-spirit cults), gramadevata (village gods), devata of river crossings, caves, mountains, and so on. In Hinduism, the devatas that guard the nine cardinal points are called Devata Lokapala (Guardians of the Directions) or in ancient Java called Dewata Nawa Sanga (Nine guardian gods). Every human activity has its devata, its spiritual counterpart or aspect.
Hindu devatas in the Konkan region are often divided into five categories: 1. Grama devatas - or village deities, for example, Hanuman, Kalika, Amba, Bhairava. 2. Sthana devatas - or local deities, for example, those in certain places of pilgrimage like Rama in Nasik, Vithoba in Pandharpur or Krishna at Dwarka. 3. Kula devatas - or family deities, like Khanderai. 4. Ishta devatas - or Chosen deities, 5. Wastu devatas or Gruha devatas - or a class of deities that preside over the house.
Some of well-known Hindu-Buddhist heavenly beings belong to the group of devatas, such as apsara or vidhyadari; heavenly maiden that sent by Indra from svarga to seduces the meditating ascetics, and her male counterparts; gandharvas; the heavenly musicians. Devatas often occurred in Hindu epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharata, and also some Buddhist holy scriptures. The island of Bali is nicknamed as Pulau Dewata (Indonesian: "islands of devata or island of gods"), because of its vivid Hindu culture and traditions. In Bali, there are many offerings dedicated to hyang, the guardian spirits associated with devata.
