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.
I love to be creative !

Abbi's first driving lesson - July 2015 !
And yes, most of the rest of the world - Our steering wheel really is on that side :-)
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.
“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!
Was really confused and frustrated at the time I drew these this morning. But time between drawing times helped settle some concepts.
Reggio Emilia (Italy), Istituto Musicale "A. Peri", organ lesson with Maestro Renato Negri
D700 + Zeiss Planar 85 1.4 C/Y made in Germany
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.
I hated Chemistry.
These boys look very studious but then there were was a camera around!
Probably 1960s.
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.
Late one night a friend decided they wanted to know how I transform my pictures into custom art creations, like the ones posted in my mental leakage set. The idea was to watch me work through one from start to finish and learn enough to create their own. (it happens every few months, I gave up trying to talk people out of it a long time ago....)
I took a deep mental breath and started playing around while trying to talk them through what I was doing. Where we ran into problems (as almost always happens) was when I could tell them what I was doing, but not why. When I am free-flow playing I tend to go from step to step on instinct and curiosity. I will keep building layers, turning them on/off, rearranging the stacking order, changing opacity, etc etc as my mind wanders. I just go with the flow, rarely do I ever start with an idea and end with that product, it always evolves and changes as I go along.
This time they hung in til the end with me (instead of giving up from overload part way through), and want to do it again. They decided to get a copy of photoshop and play around a bit for a while, then once they understand more of the basics come back for more. That's fine, I'm game whenever they're ready.... I'll use the time as a lesson in patience for me. Lord knows I could use more patience... :)

Color My World Daily: Blue Day on Friday
She jumped off the diving board, repeatedly and fearlessly, into 12 feet (3.6 meters) deep water and then swam to the edge. The boy did it too, with just a little help. I'm busting with pride.
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!
Green Cay Wetlands, FL
It's almost 50 years ago, but I think this must de the day that it all started.....
This photo's, made by my dad who had his own darkroom to develop the photo's, I found in my child album. My mom wrote October 1963 near the pictures.
No strobes, No rolfilm, No Zoom, No AV, No TV, but only the basics in that time.
Enjoy!
This reproduction pictures were shot with a Canon 24-105 F4 lens, direct out of the album.
I was to lazy to use a tripod, that declares the lens aberration.
Curiosity just isn't a quick study when it comes to correlating his biting his and the subsequent pain. That's okay, he still blames his food for biting his tongue at meals. . .

"thinking 'bout tomorrow won't change how I feel today."
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.
