Well, I tried.
See, Daisy darling? Several bites in....and your lipstick is still intact. And don't worry...I'll make sure you get lots and LOTS of practice from here on out. 😊
First time developing my own film. Quarantine was a great opportunity to learn i guess. Pretty pleased with the results. This frame and some others didn’t receive enough developer due to loading the film with a little water in my hand da, causing the film to stick in places, not allowing the developer to properly process the frame. With that said I love this shot blemish and all.

History of Surfer Parades
James Beattie, a farmer, became the first European to settle in the area when he staked out an 80-acre (32 ha) farm on the northern bank of the Nerang River, close to present-day Cavill Avenue. The farm proved unsuccessful and was sold in 1877 to German immigrant Johan Meyer, who turned the land into a sugar farm and mill. Meyer also had little luck growing in the sandy soil and within a decade had auctioned the farm and started a ferry service and built the Main Beach hotel. By 1889, Meyer's hotel had become a post receiving office and subdivisions surrounding it were named Elston, named by the Southport postmaster after his wife's home in Southport, Lancashire, England. The Main Beach Hotel licence lapsed after Meyer's death in 1901 and for 16 years Elston was a tourist town without a hotel or post office.
The boom of the 1950s and 1960s was centred on this area and the first of the tall apartment buildings were constructed in the decades that followed. Little remains of the early vegetation or natural features of the area and even the historical association of the beachfront development with the river is tenuous. The early subdivision pattern remains, although later reclamation of the islands in the Nerang River as housing estates, and the bridges to those islands, have created a contrast reflected in subdivision and building form. Some early remnants survived such as Budd's Beach — a low-scale open area on the river which even in the early history of the area was a centre for boating, fishing and swimming.
Some minor changes have occurred in extending the road along the beachfront since the early subdivision and The Esplanade road is now a focus of activity, with supporting shops and restaurants. The intensity of activity, centred on Cavill, Orchid and Elkhorn Avenues, is reflected in the density of development. Of all places on the Gold Coast the buildings in this area constitute a dominant and enduring image visible from as far south as Coolangatta and from the mountain resorts of the hinterland.

the first session I have done with my little Grace since she 'accidently" chopped off her hair..yes..you heard right! lol She got a round brush tangled in the side and her independant 6 yr old problem solving was to simply "cut it out" and no one would be the wiser! eek! soooo....pixie cut it was..there were tears..mostly mine, but we both have learned a very valuable lesson...to look beyond the outside and to the inside, she is beautiful no matter what...and meanwhile..it grows...
So here's the light painting fail I've been talking about in the last few photos. It's not horrible, but it didn't turn out how I imagined it. (It's possible that nothing turns out like I imagine, and that's been true so far, but I'm always trying to get as close as I can) My test shot was a little over exposed, and I went to far trying to compensate for that. (the spiral, along with the whole scene isn't bight enough) Every fail is a lesson learned in my eyes, so it wasn't all for nothing. We've had some rain, and more of the snow is gone from the lake, so I'll have to come up with a new way to make a spiral and try again.

Always grateful to the librarians who display books so I will always discover new writers, how could I resist this cover? Excellent poetry.
My older son explaining to his younger brother how to use an Olympus PEN. These guys shot off a whole roll of Velvia. 72 shots! While there was not many "keepers" there were some pretty funny pics.

A pile of broken coupler knuckles, under the trainmaster's office window, bears witness to the challenge of moving tonnage trains over undulating territory.
Despite all the odds, and the incline, this tree just wanted to grow up straight!
I guess there is a lesson for us all in the example the tree gives us.... don't be a tree
The final lesson of my comic workshops came to an end
and a truibute to Loeb & Sale’s HULK: GREY smashed into the lesson terrifying the kids.
the fun part was when i had to explain why Hulk is grey and ugly & not green and good-looking.

Wiki was helpful this morning in illustrating what an authentic cat looks like. And then she did her meercat imitation as a bonus. Accept no substitutes.

Lois was the last one I had to shoot for the day. And since she had nothing on after, and because I didn’t have a time limit to work within after her shoot, we decided to have more fun with the makeup we put together.
Lessons we’ve learnt today:
1)Red food dye stains your skin pretty bad, not to mention contact lenses.
2)Ground coffee makes an excellent alternative to soil. It made my hands smell good too.
3)We tend to scare ourselves with our overactive imaginations, especially when trying out different shots with the makeup she had on.
4)I remember now why I always say I love working with theatre actors the most, they give you almost anything you ask for flawlessly.
5)Lois and I are like cool bananas and awesome sauce put together, we had a whole heap of fun.
Dear Rajashree, Sheena and Lois, you girls are fantastic and I’m so glad you are willing to go through this craziness for me. Thanks to you guys I’ve gotten enough material to work on with the shoots over the weekend, though it was done seemingly rushed.
This isn’t part of the series but Lois and I loved it so much we had to share.
In this work of art, Kees Verkade has nicely depicted the dynamics and shaky mobility of a cycling lesson. The power of the pushing father speaks from his stooped posture and big step. The small child barely holds the handlebars of the bicycle with the big wheels. The traces of the sculpturing by Verkade are still clearly visible in the cast bronze, which contributes to the dynamic character of the work.
It is a fragile and vulnerable image, with a history of disappearance and destruction.

--------------------
Kees Verkade heeft in dit kunstwerk de dynamiek en wankele beweeglijkheid van een fietsles goed verbeeld. De kracht van de duwende vader spreekt uit zijn voorovergebogen houding en grote stap. Het kleine kind houdt het stuur van de fiets met de grote wielen maar nauwelijks in bedwang. In het gegoten brons zijn de sporen van de boetserende Verkade nog duidelijk te zien, wat bijdraagt aan het dynamische karakter van het werk.
Het is een fragiel en kwetsbaar beeld, dat een geschiedenis van verdwijning en vernieling kent.
