Something completely different from my previous post.I thought I would try and process this in the fine art school of black and white photography, although fine art sounds a bit pompous.
It is rather long winded and involves selections layer masks and graduation blending. It does make for a very stylised picture which I like, I wouldn't want to specialise in this type of shot to the exclusion of all others though, For me halve the fun of photography is about experimenting.

The Christ the King statue (Cristo Rei) is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon in the central part of Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument. The project was inaugurated on 17 May 1959, at a time when Portugal was being ruled by the authoritarian President of the Council of Ministers António de Oliveira Salazar (permission to build the monument was ultimately given by Salazar). The giant statue in cement was erected to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the effects of World War II.

I finally made Flickr Explore with my last post!
I have reached the zenith of my Flickr career and with that folks I am official retiring from Flickr and putting up my Canon 5D Mark II for sale on eBay.
Okay, I am not going that far.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out from Flickr members that I had made Explore from their comments in my last post. After doing some research I found out that this was my third time I made Explore. I have always wondered what it took to make the coveted Explore page, in the end I think it comes down dumb luck. In reality, I could careless about Explore since it is the community of Flickr members that make my day. I appreciate all your faves and wonderful comments and for that reason I have stuck with Flickr, even though some photographers whom I highly respect, have left since the new design launch.
For all the three people and my mother who have been following my Southeast Asia journey from last year, allow me to give you an update. I spent six months traveling through that part of the world landing in Singapore then continuing through Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and then back to Thailand.
I have now concluded posting photos from my Laos portion of the trip and I continue with my journey as we enter the country of Vietnam. I realized that that I only posted about seven photos from Laos. Over the course of a month that I was in the country I took thousands of photos, but the majority of the photos were from my Apple iPhone 4s. Laos is such a laid back country, that most of the time I was there I put away my Canon 5D Mark II for “serious photography” and just took fun snapshots with my iPhone. It was hard to motivate myself to take photos with my heavy DSLR as I spent the majority of the day laying down in a hammock drinking Beerlao. Yes, life can be so hard!
=====================================
When you mention the name Vietnam, images of jungles, pho noodles and the Vietnam War as portrayed in Francis Ford Coppola’s classic movie “Apocalypse Now,” and Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket” come to mind. So what does two Vietnamese women walking through sand dunes have to do with Vietnam?
This is the Red Sand Dunes in Mui Ne, Vietnam. Mui Ne is a beautiful beach resort that looks nothing like the rest of Vietnam. Inundated with backpackers, boutique resorts and tons of Russian tourists (where’s John Rambo when you need him), this is where you go if you don’t want a slice of the real Vietnam. I came here for some welcome relief from the madness otherwise known as Saigon otherwise known as Ho Chi Minh City. Besides the beach, Mui Ne is famous for windsurfing and their white and red sand dunes.
Walking through the dunes was a surreal experience. It reminded me of a mini Death Valley National Park and at other times I had my “Lawrence of Arabia” moments.
After walking through the dunes for an hour or so in the hot sun I wasn’t feeling the inspiration for a great shot. So I walked back to the cafe across the street where I parked my motorbike to get a cold beer. I met this young woman and an older woman in the cafe who were models for a photo shoot earlier in the day. I asked them to be my models and in return I would send them copies of my photographs. They agreed and we headed back out to the dunes.
The sun was setting quickly so I had only about ten minutes to photograph them. Under the time constraints and changing lens in between shots (not a good idea with so much blowing sand around you), I took a number of shots of which of which a handful were keepers.
Check back for more of my adventures in Vietnam!
Happy Travels!

View of the magnificient frescos inside the main prayer hall of Vank Cathedral (Holy Savior Cathedral, Church of the Saintly Sisters), in Isfahan, Isfahan province of Iran.
The cathedral was established in 1606, dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Armenian deportees that were resettled by Shah Abbas I during the Ottoman War of 1603-1618.
The interior is covered with fine frescos and gilded carvings and includes a wainscot of rich tile work. The delicately blue and gold painted central dome depicts the Biblical story of the creation of the world and man's expulsion from Eden. Pendentives throughout the church are painted with a distinctly Armenian motif of a cherub's head surrounded by folded wings. The ceiling above the entrance is painted with delicate floral motifs in the style of Persian miniature. Two sections, or bands, of murals run around the interior walls: the top section depicts events from the life of Jesus, while the bottom section depicts tortures inflicted upon Armenian martyrs by the Ottoman Empire.

“Travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” — Pico Iyer
