“Life has taught me that respect, caring and love must be shared, for it's only through sharing that friendships are born.”

Apparently.. one should not mock another regarding what 'switches' are capable of.. Thanks Paul for the awesome rp looking forward to continuing!
i took this at my grandparents house, which automatically makes it special.
i just watched Seven Pounds. its funny how watching heartbreaking movies forces you to think of your own life and the people in it. beautiful film though. and for once the tag lines on the box were right--it really was life changing, in a way.
anyway. it got me thinking. it made me question why such horrible things can happen in life. why God allows people to die before their time or lets a disease hang on for years at a time. i hate when i get these thoughts (which has been more frequent lately), because i know deep down that i'm wrong. God knows what He's doing so much better than I do. i should just trust Him. i suppose this is the first time in my life that i've had a hard time really trusting God.
so in the midst of my anger and my questioning, this verse came to mind.
Proverbs 3:5-6:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
Lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
I need to stop relying on my own understanding. I need to acknowledge God's providence in all situations, no matter how bleak. And though trusting is hard, it is such a relief.
oh a separate note, listen to this.

I actually had this one in mind for the trees & rocks, looks like it could apply to part of lesson 3 with painting water as well.

In the movie Under The Tuscan Sun, Katherine tells the story of a girl desperately searching for ladybugs who only finds them when she finally relaxes, takes a nap and awakes covered by the beautiful little insects. A great life lesson, I always thought.
Today, an unseasonably warm day brought hundreds of ladybugs crawling on my house and flying in the woods. Such a lovely seen....just a lovely reminder of a wonderful lesson.
Formerly called "Blue-crowned Motmot", which is now regarded as a complex involving five species and numerous subspecies.
Surprisingly the Cuckmere River opens out a little here (it is tidal to this point) and it is perfectly reasonable to kayak down to the sea (indeed I have done it many moons ago)

Momotus lessonii
This Motmot was formerly part of the 'Blue crowned' complex...
This species is found from southern Mexico to Western Panama, and was only found when we were in the extreme west of the country.
All of my Tucson Rodeo photos are dedicated in memory of the greatest Rodeo Photographer in the history of the sport, Louise Serpa. Louise lost her 3 year battle with cancer in January, only weeks before her 50th year of photographing the Tucson Rodeo. Louise photographed her final Tucson Rodeo in 2011 at the age of 85 while being treated for her terminal illness. She has been called the “Ansel Adams of Rodeo” photography. In 1995 she published a book of her well known photos titled RODEO: NO GUTS NO GLORY
This Moorhen was swimming around in one of the ponds with two young chicks. Probably teaching some well needed lessons at this early stage of life.
I remember coming across this scene and couldn't wait to share it as it was an unusual sight for me and I thought it was so cool and here I am just getting to it 10 months later. Daah!

I believe I used pencils 8B, 6B, 2B and HB. This took about 40 minutes. I also completely forgot that I didn't have to shade it. xD

When in wildlife territory always have your tele lens on the camera, landscapes give you time to change lenses, bears don't. This is OK, but if I was ready I could get a dream shot of this bear.
I took this a couple weeks ago but thought I would share while I am looking for more victims to shoot!!
Had a Photoshop class with Tim Buerger today.
Worked on some of the photos I did in a previous strobe lesson in Minato Mirai, Yokohama. Now it feels like the lesson is complete... from the shooting to the post-production.
I was never a huge fan of flashes and non-natural light but I really like the results of this class... time to practice!

Ok, here's a panorama that I shot that did not turn out as I planned. It does show the awesomeness of the storm. But....
I learned the hard way to not use a circular polarizer when taking a panorama. I was using it to get more contrast between the clouds and the blue sky, but where the edges blend it creates those dark ares.
This is three shots, thus the two dark areas. I've been trying in vain for three hours to fix it. I give up.
Plus I chopped the top of the clouds off. I have enough trouble with one shot sometimes, much less three put together.
This was a shoot from my first air show put on by the Navy Blue Angels. A fantastic show. These planes (for the show) are flying at speeds ranging from 150-450 mph, so high shutter speed is important to get sharp images and is not really difficult to achieve on sunny days like this one. The Blue Angels have a predetermined spot at which they perform some of their maneuvers like this one in which they pass by one another at a very close distance (remarkable) so here, shutter speed, aperture, steady camera and knowing that sweet spot where they pass is important to get sharp images. Here, I didn't know where that center point was so I panned with the number six plane and shot at 5 frames a second hoping to get the image I got, but because of my panning the number five plane became blurred (traveling the opposite direction of the pan). The show was wonderful and I learned a lot.
This image was shot with a 70-200VR lens at 5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/2500 sec.
