This week is my week to select the song list for the Musically Challenged group. (Yay! It's very exciting.) For the next few days, I will be covering songs from my list.
This one is The Dreaming Tree, one of my favorite songs by Dave Matthews Band. If you haven't heard it, you've gotta check it out - it's truly incredible.
- The Verve, Love is Noise
**Explored**
Ok, so I admittedly strayed pretty far from this week's inspiration shot in our emulation challenge for My Face is My Canvas. But really, there's just no improving upon Kezzaroo's thorny shot. So I had to take it a different way. I like the way this turned out, though. Probably because I find it fun to dress up like a rockstar. :)
And I'm also finally getting a song done for Allard's picks this week in Musically Challenged. :) Double bonus!
Prepare for an onslaught of outtakes. And trust me, I exercised restraint. There were a ton that I really loved from this shoot. Which is funny since I hated all of them when viewing them on my camera when I was taking them. Funny how that happens.
Huge winter storm coming our way. Just in time for me to have to drive an hour up north for a hearing at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I'm going to need to leave myself probably two hours or more to get there. I despise winter drivers.

Musically Challenged: The Verve - Love is Noise
My Face is My Canvas: Emulation Week #12
Rock music is a genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in 1950s America and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States.[1][2][3] It has its roots in 1940s' and 1950s' rock and roll, itself heavily influenced by rhythm and blues and country music. Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical and other musical sources.
Musically, rock has centered around the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with bass guitar and drums. Typically, rock is song-based music usually with a 4/4 time signature utilizing a verse-chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse and common musical characteristics are difficult to define. Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political in emphasis. The dominance of rock by white, male musicians has been seen as one of the key factors shaping the themes explored in rock music. Rock places a higher degree of emphasis on musicianship, live performance, and an ideology of authenticity than pop music.
By the late 1960s, referred to as the "golden age"[1] or "classic rock"[2] period, a number of distinct rock music sub-genres had emerged, including hybrids like blues rock, folk rock, country rock, and jazz-rock fusion, many of which contributed to the development of psychedelic rock influenced by the counter-cultural psychedelic scene. New genres that emerged from this scene included progressive rock, which extended the artistic elements; glam rock, which highlighted showmanship and visual style; and the diverse and enduring major sub-genre of heavy metal, which emphasized volume, power and speed. In the second half of the 1970s, punk rock both intensified and reacted against some of these trends to produce a raw, energetic form of music characterized by overt political and social critiques. Punk was an influence into the 1980s on the subsequent development of other sub-genres, including New Wave, post-punk and eventually the alternative rock movement. From the 1990s alternative rock began to dominate rock music and break through into the mainstream in the form of grunge, Britpop, and indie rock. Further fusion sub-genres have since emerged, including pop punk, rap rock, and rap metal, as well as conscious attempts to revisit rock's history, including the garage rock/post-punk and synthpop revivals at the beginning of the new millennium.
Rock music has also embodied and served as the vehicle for cultural and social movements, leading to major sub-cultures including mods and rockers in the UK and the "hippie" counterculture that spread out from San Francisco in the US in the 1960s. Similarly, 1970s punk culture spawned the visually distinctive goth and emo subcultures. Inheriting the folk tradition of the protest song, rock music has been associated with political activism as well as changes in social attitudes to race, sex and drug use, and is often seen as an expression of youth revolt against adult consumerism and conformity.

Anne McGill is an Irish sculptor working from her studio in Dublin. Anne´s sculpture has evolved over the last two decades from semi-abstract figurative bronze sculptures to large outdoor ephemeral sculptures and more recently ´found objects´ installations.
Anne has used the theme of music in a lot of her artwork and has made various musically themed sculptures for site specific commissions.
She is presently working on outdoor installations and large garden sculptures using various materials. She has created ceramic sculptures, wooden sculptures, stone sculptures, metal sculptures and lately willow and hessian sculptures.
Today I experimented with a Sigma 180mm lens mounted on a Sony A7RM2 body using a Metabones adaptor.
This combination does not work in Auto-Focus mode so I had to use manual focusing and this was not easy and it certainly would have been impossible without focus peaking [a feature that I have never properly employed before]. In case you are unaware focus peaking is a tool to assist you while manual focusing. It highlights the areas that are in focus so you are able to quickly focus the camera and not miss crucial shots. However, focus peaking is not as easy as it sounds because it shows you what's sharp on the viewfinder screen, not what's sharp in the actual image. Since the screen or viewfinder has a much lower resolution than the actual camera sensor areas that are highlighted as being sharp in the viewfinder can be very much out of focus in the image you actually capture.

Title refers to me as much as the picture~I am unfortunately not musically minded and have no idea how to play - I'm hoping my kids get their musical genes from their mum who is the polar opposite of me and can play pretty much any instrument. I'm at the stage of my 112 pictures where I'm having to choose a topic and really think about it! Fortunately we were given a guitar just last week so this one didn't require too much thought!!

Explored thanks guys <3
like a thistle on a tree
like the sparkle on the sea
you were made for glory
...
but like a thorn on my flesh
your beauty holds me
i can't find relief
and it's no wonder why you're here
to torture me
Made for Glory - Landon Pigg
honestly I have played more musically challenged shots than the other groups because i just LOVE ashley's picks! I can totally relate them and do them to my photos!!!!
nothing crazy today. did a photo shoot with Jamee & Juan! tomorrow im heading to Lauderdale!! YAY! cant wait!
i totally LOVE this necklace. I got it last night from Carrie, I am one of the lucky 50 ladies who get to wear this magically piece of sisterhood love and it's definitely an honor. I'm going to write in the journal and do my doodles and print some photos and then send it out to Just K. on Monday.
p.s. that is a sheet. :)

Muscially Challenged - Made for Glory by Landon Pigg
Family Portrait. Today is a tribute to the people in the world I love the most.
Stuart, my wonderful husband, is the most supportive and generous person I know. He allows me the freedom to explore and expand myself in ways I never thought possible. He is a constant. Extremely patient and adapting which is lucky as I am stubborn and fixed in so many ways.
Zephyr, my amazing 6 year old (soon to be 7), is an exception to every rule. He is dedicated, persistant with a very mature sense of humour. He is a truly colourful part of our life. He is gifted musically and inspires us with his ability. I am very grateful to Zephyr. He holds us accountable as parents.
Rogen, my VERY 3 year old, is a terror. Full of life and love. Life is one big crazy adventure with him. He is kind, cuddly, cute as a button. We laugh that Rogen will spend his days surfing with gorgeous women by his side. He is very bright with an extended vocabulary which makes him great, yet very talkative, company. He is trying very hard to teach me patience but somedays I don't do so well.
Nothing's gonna change my world...
For the Teleidoscope's "Night" (although, now that i think about it, there really isn't nighttime in space) and, of course, for Musically Challenged. I heart me some Beatles.

I have been experimenting with different lighting techniques lately. This is the result of my creating a snoot for my flash. Not knowing what is right or wrong does give me a certain level of freedom to try whatever silly idea I might have ;-) I have posted a few shots of my homemade snoot in the comments. It's pretty ghetto, but hey, it worked!
Stigmata - Ministry
(38 of 53)
Did anyone else have one of these for school? I am not especially musically minded, but EVERYONE had to have a recorder in my junior school! It made up part of the morning assembly along with a bit of hymn singing and lesson reading! My two strapping sons would probably have so much fun taking the mickey if they knew that I played one of these at school as a boy! :-)
Sshhh! ...don't tell them! :-)
I rather think that the statutory music and sport participation has tended to be left behind somewhat by modern day schools nowadays, but stumbling across this in the loft the other day did bring a wry smile to my face!
Of course I couldn't play the thing very well - hence the title! :-)))
It's not often that a bloke can get a chick to do what he wants.... but success this time. I think bribery helps - depending on the chick the bribe could be corn,.... or chocolate,... or gemstones,.....
Anyway.... on to the Top 10 list, since that is what I specified for TRP day today. (And putting a mug in means it is good for FGR too.)
So here is a list of Top 10 drinks....
1) Tea.... Probably what I drink more than anything else. A few stipulations about tea.
- Must be drunk out of a bone china cup/mug (like my chicken mug in pic)
- Must be made with looose leaf tea - NOT teabags, which are only for the crass
- Must be made with boiling (not just hot) water.
- Milk should be added afterwards, not before
2) Guinness... Smooth, cold & delightful winter or summer
- Must be drunk at least every 3 days
- tastes better in a pub
- Must be drunk from a straight sided glass with no handle.
- Drinking from a bottle or can is the height of uncouth & uncool
3) Espresso....Triple shot of course
- Must be made from freshly ground beans (within 10 mins of being ground else it goes stale)
- Beans must have been roasted no more than 3 weeks ago, and ideally at least 4 days ago
- Single variety rather than a blend by preference, although some blends are OK
- Decaf??? - I'm sorry but you have to be killed
4) Fresh cold milk...
- Full fat of course, semi skimmed (or 2%?) is only for the paranoid
- Should not be sipped i.e. must be drunk in large gulps
5) Cappuccino (or Flat White)
- OK if you want a longer drink of coffee than an espresso shot
- Must be served with proper microfoamed milk to get perfect latte art
- Decaf??? - What is the point? And besides you were warned!
6) Malt Whisky
- A peaty island variety such as Laphroig is best, but any single malt will do
- An irish malt whisky is OK, but scotch is better
- Never with ice, but 50:50 with still cold water is fine
- Drunk out of a cut crystal lead glass is best
7) Vintage Port
- Perfect after a meal with guests.
- Cigar if you absolutely must
8) Water
- Sometimes it can be good for something other than boiling for tea, or adding to malt whisky
- Bubbles - forget it
9) Cola Float - Decadance from childhood!
- Rich vanilla ice cream only
- Diet coke? You are being stupid and paranoid again..... Get more exercise if you are worried about our weight or give up coke completely for f***** sake
10) Long Island Iced Tea - If you must have a cocktail
- The only way to imbibe tequila without grimacing
- The fourth one will make you fall over
- After five, who cares

You’re stumbling in the dark
You’re stumbling in the dark

- Oasis, Don't Look Back in Anger
Spent the better part of my day driving out to do a boudoir shoot for an old friend of mine. We hadn't seen each other in sixteen years, which is just insane. It was a great time and I think we got some amazing shots.
Not much more to report. Other than the fact that I've been sleeping like crap so I'm exhausted and slightly irritable.
Carry on.

Billy Joel~She's Always A Woman
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
I think I'm growing feathers
But I'm not quite sure of it
'Cause I started getting dizzy
About a Hundred feet up
I made friends with the clouds
I made friends with the birds
For this week's Musically Challenged
Another song/artist I do not know. I really loved the lyrics to this one....the idea of the song...what I thought it meant...
Another musically inspired image.
I'll Keep Your Memory Vague - Finger Eleven
This won't break your heart
But I just think it could
Cause I haven't tried as hard as I should
To separate you from everything I do
But I would never want to come between us two
I'll keep your memory vague
So you won't feel bad about me
I'll say the things that you said
Sometimes so it reminds me
Now I'm thinking back
To what I said before
I hope your heart won't have to hurt anymore
Cause it's really not that sad from here
Because the moments I can feel you near
They keep you close to me my dear
And if they ever become too clear...
I'll keep your memory vague
So you won't feel bad about me
I'll say the things that you said
Sometimes so it reminds me
Now you've gone away
Don't worry it's ok
That you're gone away
Further than yesterday
But you'll never leave these scenes
My mind replays
I'll keep your memory vague
So you won't feel bad about me
I'll say the things that you said
Sometimes so it reminds me
Where in the world have you gone now?

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins
'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them
Yoshimi Battle the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
I was requested to do this song by the lovely Shannon because I am her Yoshimi, asian ninja <3
I am feeling a lot better, coming down from my manic depression this past week. It was horrible, I became physically sick. Thank God that probably wont happen again. It helped me realize that there are just things that are worth staying and fighting for, that running away is not always the easy choice - you're leaving behind people, things, feelings, PROS that outweigh CONS. Thanks for all your support everyone, especially, Thomas, Shannon, Ian, Robert, Eva, DJOtaku, Soo.See.Q, rhandee14, and all of soulpancake for making my soulpancake smile again. :)
I hope everyone is having a good week, and I will catch you guys another time!
Musically Challenged: Yoshimi battle the pink robots by the flaming lips
Here comes the sun, and i say...It's alright.
It finally stopped raining long enough for me to get the patio cleaned up and gardenified! I don't have much room out there, but i seriously love potting my little flowers and sitting on my plastic lawn chair. Project SoulPancake wanted us to put our hands in soil, and i was only too happy to oblige. I love the way it feels between my fingers! (Although i'm not so keen on the way it gets under my nails.)
Also for TOTW's "Rainbows" and Musically Challenged.

P.S. This really wants to be viewed in the Lightbox.
Anne McGill is an Irish sculptor working from her studio in Dublin. Anne´s sculpture has evolved over the last two decades from semi-abstract figurative bronze sculptures to large outdoor ephemeral sculptures and more recently ´found objects´ installations.
Anne has used the theme of music in a lot of her artwork and has made various musically themed sculptures for site specific commissions.
She is presently working on outdoor installations and large garden sculptures using various materials. She has created ceramic sculptures, wooden sculptures, stone sculptures, metal sculptures and lately willow and hessian sculptures.
Today I experimented with a Sigma 180mm lens mounted on a Sony A7RM2 body using a Metabones adaptor.
This combination does not work in Auto-Focus mode so I had to use manual focusing and this was not easy and it certainly would have been impossible without focus peaking [a feature that I have never properly employed before]. In case you are unaware focus peaking is a tool to assist you while manual focusing. It highlights the areas that are in focus so you are able to quickly focus the camera and not miss crucial shots. However, focus peaking is not as easy as it sounds because it shows you what's sharp on the viewfinder screen, not what's sharp in the actual image. Since the screen or viewfinder has a much lower resolution than the actual camera sensor areas that are highlighted as being sharp in the viewfinder can be very much out of focus in the image you actually capture.
The Dragonfly on the pond was difficult to photograph as it kept moving.
have you ever stumbled through half a dozen streams of friends of friends, contacts of contacts and then you're blindsided by a photo and you have no earthly idea how you even ended up there in the first place?
i found this amazing set of silhouette shots by TJ Scott and i am so damn smitten. silhouettes and vivid color and sunsets and southern california beaches and and and...! um, yes please.
so this is attempt number one at pilfering his style, which i unabashedly covet and would gladly sell off all of my cats to the highest bidder for an ounce of his talent.

and Theme of the Week - shadow play
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
- Brandi Carlile, The Story
This song is my jam right now. She just belts it out and I love that. I love to crank it and sing at the top of my lungs in my car. It's therapeutic, I think. I have quite a few go-to songs for singing out my stress/frustration, actually. And at least a few are part of this week's selection in Musically Challenged, so you should hop on over there and check out this week's playlist. ;)

sail away, kill off the hours
you belong somewhere you feel free
- Tom Petty, Wildflowers
Some pretty autumn colors and a little alikeh. This has been a ridiculously productive week. That also means it's been ridiculously busy. My eyes feel strained from so much editing. But it's a good kind of a busy and a good kind of strained. And tonight I get to go burn off some of my frustration over landlord issues at soccer.
Now if only I can start getting some writing squeezed into the mix, everything will feel perfect.
Musically Challenged: Tom Petty - Wildflowers
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said little boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
-The Kinks, Lola
It seems kind of funny to pair this with a tranny song, but oh well!
For Musically Challenged and Project Soulpancake, Art at Arm's Reach. My inspiration for cupid's arrow came from Design*Sponge and the painted arrow project. Made with construction paper, two pens and a pencil (the pencil is actually decorated with little hearts...awwww), double-sided tape, and white chalk. Having children means having a ready supply of art materials.
