I loathe the whole shopping experience. Long lines, annoyed consumers, and snappy clerks just aren’t for me. On the rare occasion I wander into a store, I am inundated with decisions that are always impossible to make. To simplify, one unsuspecting friend will receive a text and the decision will rest in her hands; poor girl.
Just to the left of the frame a hillside rises up above the farmland, and I thought it would be a great place to shoot from. After hiking up the hillside I noticed a dog barking from where the houses are that you can see. I didn't pay any attention to it then because it was awefully far and there are lots dogs barking in the country. After my third shot or so I noticed her barking again and could see her running towards me just about where you can see at the end of the vineyard. A couple shots later, she'd closed the gap by half and was still on a full sprint, only now I could tell she was big and seemingly very angry.
I grabbed my camera and tripod and bolted toward the road on the right and to the safety of the car. Only because I was up on the hill I soon reached the top of a 10' retaining wall. I glanced back at the dog and it was about 30' away and closing way too fast, so I went for it. I managed to land on my feet if only for a moment and ended up sprawled on the ground. More importantly, my camera hit the dirt as well. Fortunately for both of us it was pretty soft and we both came away with only minor dings.
Also fortunately was that the jump was too high for the dog who began to circle back to how I got there. I made it to the safety of the car before she could get around to me, though closing the door with my tripod fully extended proved to be a challenge and if she wanted she could have taken my leg off. It was at that point I knew she was more interested in scaring the crap out of me than eating me for dinner.
A few minutes later the dog's owner came up the hill on horseback and gave me an earful about getting permission before getting on private property.
Lesson learned!
The Lesson
I keep on dying again.
Veins collapse, opening like the
Small fists of sleeping
Children.
Memory of old tombs,
Rotting flesh and worms do
Not convince me against
The challenge. The years
And cold defeat live deep in
Lines along my face.
They dull my eyes, yet
I keep on dying,
Because I love to live.

Note to self: When you order fish in Ecuador, odds are it will not be a filet, but rather the entire fish.
I hadn't taken the rig out in awhile and was happy to just be out and about. This is a crappy photo technically but I'm posting it as a reminder:
1. When you lift your camara out of the bag for the first time make sure you didn't leave it in bracket mode!
2. Take multiple shots so at least ONE might be in focus and properly exposed.
I admit I was a little cautious about them seeing me shoot them (I was exposed on a similar bunker). I love love love this shot but for my incompetency in taking it.

Edges
I loved This lesson, I learnt just as much about process as technic. For me it was thinking about how I was going to make the edges with the tools I had then thinking about what edges I was going to make in relation to the subject matter and how was I going to remember when the paint was dry or not drying, running, people walking by and looking over my shoulder 😱 😊 I realised I wasn't doing the second two steps. I was putting edges down in the moment but not thinking about composition or subject matter. Thanks Liz and class mates I having a ball doing this course.This is a view on the way to a friends house in Mt Martha, Australia,I never get tired of it.

Best online Guitar lessons: jamplay.club
Hi, I’m Andrew and I have been playing guitar for about 3 years. I am no expert but I have steady improvements in my level of skill by using online guitar lessons.
Most novice guitarist will spend their first few months trying to find free guitar lessons. This is what I did. Trouble is it resulted in slow progress and a lot of frustration.
This is why I put this website together. To show the best free guitar lessons. However, they only take you so far.
I made the mistake of refusing to pay out for lessons and I found my progress wasn’t as fast as I wanted. I ended up wishing I had just spent the $19 it takes to join a paid guitar lesson memberships online.
After I finally did this my skills DRAMATICALLY improved. I found the well planned step by step training from skilled guitarists made it super-easy to progress and get better.
So my advise would be to sign up for an online guitar training as it is the fastest way to get better.
I have tried almost every online guitar lesson membership available on the web. Some are far better than others. Some are suited to beginners, others are better for more skilled guitarists.
To help you out and make your life easier I have put together some reviews showing the benefits and drawbacks of each of the paid guitar websites.
Hopefully they will help you make the right choice for you. If you pick the right one for your skill level you should see a vast improvement in your playing ability and triple how fast you improve at guitar.
Online guitar lessons can be a great way to learn playing the guitar easily and conveniently. No matter whether you want to learn how to play guitar with the hope of joining your church choir or a local band, or just for fun and personal fulfillment, online guitar lessons are the best choice.
Whether you are a beginner or you simply want to hone your guitar playing skills, you can locate many online sources that can be extremely helpful. Online guitar lessons are gaining popularity and enthusiastic guitarists are keen to improve their skills in a convenient way, given the busy lifestyles we often find ourselves leading. Thanks to the advents in technology and the internet, it is now possible to undertake guitar lessons online in the comfort of your living room. Some of the finest online guitar courses can help you become an expert guitarist quickly.
Undertaking guitar lessons online is beneficial for several reasons. Firstly, online guitar lessons allow you to access a constant source of musical content from wherever you are and at any time. There are many guitar teachers out there and more guides being posted on the internet each day. By taking advantage of online resources, it is easy to learn playing this musical instrument from several tutors and learn many techniques.
Online guitar lessons can help save time and money if you select the right ones for you. But if you hire a private guitar tutor, you might speed a lot of time organizing and packing your stuff as well as traveling to and from class. You might learn a technique or two but forget everything even before you reach home. With guitar lessons online, however, you can always revisit the instructions and come up with your own learning timetable. An online guitar course can save you money as well.

A portrait of the extremely talented Ben Folds, performing at the O2 Academy in Glasgow last night with the reunited Ben Folds Five.
The lighting was rather problematic...very dark...had to ramp up the ISO...and generally low contrast...although this shot is fairly nice.
It's the third time I've seen Ben Folds...and he is one of the breed of performers who is great on CD...and even better as a live act.
My thanks are due to Alex Hewitt at The Scotsman for helping to arrange my photo pass.
