So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
Always a moving and powerful song- musically and lyrically….
Song of the day: Coming Back To Life
By: Pink Floyd
Where were you when I was burned and broken?
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless?
'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside, the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight into the shining sun

This vigorous, upright rose climber has certainly struck the right note with us. Named after the internationally acclaimed British flautist, now aged 78, to celebrate his 60th birthday. The man with the golden flute delighted Chelsea Flower Show visitors one year
by performing when the rose was released.
🎶🎶
The strikingly beautiful flowers are a lovely mid pink at the centre, gradually shading to light pink towards the edges. Each flower is very full, with the numerous petals beautifully arranged to create a neat, slightly domed shape. There is a light-medium Old Rose fragrance.
Happy, musically inclined, mid-week Wednesday ... 😊
"They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day the sun will come out"
Musically Challenged: Lovers in Japan by Coldplay
One of my favourite songs, seems quite fitting now with what is going on in Japan. When I saw that Shannon had picked this song for the group Musically Challenged, I knew right away that I had the perfect props for a photo. The butterflies are all confetti from the Coldplay concert that I went to in Vancouver in 2009, I scooped up a huge pile of them from the arena floor and I've been wanting to use them in a photo since! The jacket was a prop I made a while ago for a different photo but it pops up every now and then.
This morning I awoke to find a HUGE pile of snow building up outside...it's been snowing all day and it seems like winter has returned with a vengeance.
just before sunset.
For the musically inclined, don't miss the Bob Dylan album of the same name released in 1969. There is a lot to love about this record, a duet with Johnny Cash, a great collection of Dylan's well written songs, and backing musicians known as the Nashville Cats.

Yesterday was a very musically orientated day. I had Symphony orchestra in the morning, then a concert with CCO in the evening in Stone =]
Hence, I gathered my sheet music, my violin, my music ribbon and my Stafford Performing Arts Centre tie for a photoshoot =]
I think I ruined it slightly with the borders though >_<
Thank you very much for selecting my photo as your

Musically challenged. Crazy crazy insane by ApSci
OK. I asked my husband, do I look crazy in this pic. He says, well maybe if you were wielding a knife or something. I tried to explain to him, its not psychotic crazy, its like happy crazy. I don't think he got it. He kinda gave me a look like he thinks I am crazy. Aw well.
This song is toooooo awesome. Its the kinda song that gets stuck in your head and 3 days later its still there.
One of my favourite performers to photograph, Fatoumata Diawara. She is an absolute joy...musically and photographically.
This is from her gig with Cuban pianist Roberto Fonseca at WOMAD on Sunday.
I first saw Fatou on stage at WOMAD in 2009, when she was a backing singer to Oumou Sangare. She really stood out because of her smile and her personality.

do you get it? lol im a genius XD jk.jk. but i did think of this one a few times today. i lost my red paint, sigh..... gotta go get a new one or clean the "studio".
So I didnt get the assignment with the dealership. but that's okay, because I received an email from a Marina who wants to know if I could cover an event and how much I would charge. I'll reply to that email shortly. in the meantime.... I just want to enjoy the moment I have that has nothing to do with school, or life, or anything........................................
okay moment over. i got "semi-pulled over" today by a detective who said I should of known that wearing headphones while driving was illegal. like really? he said that I should of read it in the driver's license manual. I totally spaced out for a second because I never remembered reading it and i read that thing left and right. turns out that law passed in 2006, a year after I took my written test. which begs the question.... do i really look THAT young??? Do i NOT look like a 21 year old? my God! :|
anyways I have to get some sleep because Chip Litherland is coming into class tomorrow and we're actually doing a photowalk and I'm excited because of one: he's awesome, two: I actually get to participate.
you know what that means? ...... you'll probably never see all the photos since im about 4 assignments behind on edits. how in the world do i get out of this? ARGHH!!!!
sigh. well. one at a time i guess. :) wish me luck!

ABCs - I is for "i" heart you!
I'm just lonely inside I guess
You gave me everything
You really tried, thanks
If we were nothing and we're only the past
Well I'm just living in a dream I guess
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you
Where it's almost over and we're almost gone
And I can feel the sweet illusion coming
Sweet confusion, honey, sweet illusion
Coming down
Sweet Illusions by Ryan Adams
So yesterday I went out shooting with Perry Wilson
and we had a blast. we ran around an old cemetery, climbed trees and then went to my old workplace and played in the playground like two silly little kids.
strange how just a few months before we both hated each others' guts. now we both get each other.
anyways go check out his stuff, we made some awesomeness.
so i realized that just maybe my past relationship hurt me alot more than i anticipated or thought it would. I feel restless and lost. I hate being at home and I dont want to stay in FL. my sister says I'm running away from my problems and I should just buckle down and deal with it. but i dont know if I'm strong enough or even ready to do that.
sigh. anyways, which version do you guys prefer?

I love nature, I love the landscape, because it is so sincere. It never cheats me. It never jests. It is cheerfully, musically earnest. I lie and relie on the earth. – Henry David Thoreau
-----
Spent the majority of my final full day up in the Smoky Mountains hiking to the waterfall pictured above, Abram's Falls. It was a fairly decent hike; about 2.5 miles each way but worth the view at the end.
It seems we arrived and left at just the right moment because we passed a lot of people heading towards the falls as we were heading back up the trail. It would have been difficult to get quiet and tranquil photos with all those people around.
I know this panorama isn't perfect, in some spots the focus is off. But still; having shot this long exposure freehand I'm pleased by the results and decided I may as well go ahead and use it for today.
I had changed my image settings to capture this photo and managed to frustrate myself to no end by forgetting to reset the settings to my preferred means of shooting; so the majority of my photos for today were a little more difficult than usual to process.
But; all that aside, it was still a great day. Tomorrow will most likely be in the city until it's time to venture to the airport so that I can return to snow... I mean reality.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

One of the Hall’s chief glories, the organ was always designed to be the interior focal point, visually and musically. By 1912, the city was searching for the best candidate to build it, finally settling on Norman Beard of London. His design, installed late in 1913, was built on the grandest scale, complete with a Spanish mahogany case by Adam Currie of Edinburgh.
Over the years, the organ gradually fell into disrepair. A lack of moisture and temperature control led to significant unreliability, and by the start of this century it hadn’t been played for some years. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the Usher Hall Organ Trust, Harrison and Harrison of Durham were appointed to restore it, and since 2002 the organ has once again taken centre stage at many of the Hall’s events.

I made it past the 30 day mark which was my goal. I think I only 'cheated' a couple of times which is pretty good for me. I think I'm gonna keep going with it. See how far I actually get.

If I Could Start Today Again by Paul Kelly
Not too keen on the video but I really like the song.
Grayson Highlands State Park, looking west from Massie Gap.
Grayson County, Virginia.
"Grayson Highlands State Park is a state park located in Grayson County, Virginia, United States. It is adjacent to the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area and lies within the Jefferson National Forest. The park was established in 1965 and contains a total of 4,502 acres (1,822 ha). The park hosts a number of outdoor activities including hiking, camping, mountainbiking, horseback riding, and backpacking. A 2.8 mile (4.5 km) portion of the Appalachian Trail runs through the park in addition to a number of other hiking and horseback riding trails. The state park is musically notable as the home for the Grayson Highlands Fall Festival as well as weekly jam sessions by local folk musicians, who draw upon the traditional styles of the Blue Ridge area. The park is also home to the Wayne C. Henderson Festival and Guitar Competition, a regionally important festival and guitarist contest named for local notable guitar-maker Wayne Henderson.
The park also has a campground cabin store with candies and ice cream inside.
The park hosts forests like those on nearby Mount Rogers, as well as a number of mountain meadows or balds. These meadows provide excellent views of the surrounding area and present a striking change in scenery from the surrounding forests. The balds are dominated by large rocky outcroppings clear of vegetation excepting the occasional windswept tree and low grasses.
Ponies
The balds are inhabited by a herd of ponies introduced in the 1970s and allowed to run wild within the confines of the park. The ponies are very accustomed to humans and rarely halt their grazing as hikers pass close by. Many locals touch and feed the ponies, though this practice is frowned upon and against park policy. Each year, park officials round up the herd and check for health problems in addition to reducing the herd size if necessary; the excess colts are sold at auction.
Festivals
The Wayne C. Henderson Music Festival and Guitar Competition is held at the park every June. The festival, named for local musician and luthier Wayne C. Henderson, features old time music and bluegrass music.
The Grayson Highlands Fall Festival is an annual event held at the park during the fall. The festival hosts a variety of entertainment including live bluegrass and traditional music, molasses making, and demonstrations focusing on pioneer-living. The festival is also home to a local crafts fair and auctions for the selling of excess colts from the "wild" pony herd managed by the Wilburn Ridge Pony Association." (Wikipedia)

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”

Week 18/52
Oh well. I guess this was channeling every person who's ever done a levitation shot. Which means... everyone.

I like female writers, especially when they're serious. I like Virginia Woolf, I like the Brontë sisters, I like 20th century writers, who transformed the way people see women, going from pretty-pieces-of-furniture-slash-sexual-toys to full on, thinking human beings. I am immensely grateful to all of them. But there's one who seems to get to me in a very particular way: Anaïs Nin. I read the compilation of her diaries ('Henry and June') for the first time when I was 15. It was life changing, as is everything at that age, but it's one of the books I keep in my nightstand. So when i read this quote of hers, earlier this week, I knew I had to work my photo of the week around it:
“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me.”
I'm constantly told, in my life, that I can't just do the things I like, that I have to do everything, because that's life and life is hard and yadda yadda. I know. I recognize and accept that kind of thinking, that kind of paradigm. But the truth is, if it doesn't make me smile in wonder, if it doesn't make my heart flutter with emotion, then I probably won't care much about what happens. And this is what the shot is about.
I spent most of my week writing, which gives me an immense sense of freedom, but also drains me. Writing takes so much more out of me than photography does. But the truth is, it makes me feel alive. Photography makes me feel alive through physical pain, through adrenaline, through putting myself in danger to get a cool shot; writing does that to me simply by pulling on my heart strings and allowing my fingers to run through the keyboard, through taking me by the hand and showing me that it could be like this and not like that. The muse was kind this week, and she lead me wisely through both fiction and photography.
I was taking clarinet and guitar lessons. I offered free recitals to my friends. They loved my jazz interpretations of the great pop songs of the era.
(Brooklyn, 1967).

Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles
Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying
Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining
That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being
That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing
That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing
But listen to the
color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living
Or play the game
existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
~ Another musically inspired piece~
Hmmmnn... hmmmm... hhmmmn...
I was captured the moment we met
Carried away with every word you said
It's a mystery how you got to me
I fell in the spell of your charms
With your siren's smile you caught me off guard
Just one glance took away my breath
Then you drew me in with your tenderness
You captivate my soul, I'm enraptured
You knocked me out and you locked me up
Stole my heart like a thief at love
Keep me here in your happy ever after
I'm captured (oh... I'm captured)
By the way just in case you care
I'm here to stay, I'm not going anywhere
I took a dive in your deep dark eyes
And I'm never coming up for air
I lost myself in this bond that we share
One sweet kiss took away my breath
Then you drew me in with your tenderness
You captivate my soul, I'm enraptured
You knocked me out and you locked me up
Stole my heart like a thief at love
Hold me tight in your happy ever after
Now you've got the best of me
No one else could hold the key
I'm captured
I'm captured
Just one touch took away my breath
When you drew me in I could not resist
You captivate my soul, I'm enraptured
You knocked me out and you locked me up
Stole my heart like a thief at love
Keep me here in your happy ever after

I've been fiddling with tube stereo since the early 1990s, and I think this system is as musically satisfying as any other I've ever pulled together.
It’s also the least expensive by far, so I thought I'd write it up. You can get a good taste of what modern tube audio sounds like with this system. The amp and speakers cost $350, and you'd be hard put to find a more natural, lyrical system for chamber music at four times that price. A system with deeper bass? Yes. A system that plays louder? Assuredly. But a system that better conveys the beauty of a performance? I can't think of one.
This little stereo is pure magic on vocals, and it’s 90% of what I'd ever want for jazz, folk, piano and chamber music. It’s great with percussion -- lots of kick!
It sounds more than decent on orchestral music and rock at modest volumes. The little APPJ N3 amp has three tubes and produces only 3.5 watts per channel. It’s tiny, yet it makes classic, water-clear, nineties-style tube audio.
I'm using it at my desk with the speakers about one meter from my ears. In this situation, the amp is called on to produce a fraction of a watt to play as loud as I want to play it. Thus, 3.5 watts is more than enough. With the speakers shown above it can produce ~95 dB SPL at 1 meter, far louder than I want.
The speaker is a four-inch (105mm) Fostex Kanspea kit from Madisound. It took less than an hour to assemble both speakers, so it’s only nominally a kit. Anyone with an icepick and a screwdriver can put them together. (I’ve heard that selling it as a nearly-completed kit lessens import duties, so that may be why it’s marketed in this fashion).
One rather special driver (Fostex FF105QWK) per channel covers the entire audio range from ~80Hz to 20kHz. Fresh out of the box, it sounds pretty sibilant, but once the speaker has played for 100 hours or so, the sound is remarkably sweet and coherent. (I left it playing all day in a room with the door closed for several days to burn it in.)
Despite the missing tweeter, there’s plenty of well-rendered treble response. In fact, I swapped out the stock Shuguang EL-84 tubes because the treble was a little too hot. The cabinet is a simple bass reflex design. Apart from the driver, the materials are nothing special, a 9mm fiberboard box with a wood-grain vinyl finish, cheap connectors and no speaker grill.
I've listened to a lot of fancy stereos over the years, including a few in the $100,000 range (which were not mine, obviously). This little system punches well above its price class. To my ear, it’s more musical – more listenable – than our big system downstairs, though it lacks that system’s extended bass and ability to play orchestral works at concert-hall levels.
On the downside, the system is mercilessly revealing when there are recording defects. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because that kind of system also reveals the details in good recordings with great delicacy and accuracy. My favorite badly done recording of a good song is Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors”. It'll make your ears bleed on this system. Also, if you use Bluetooth or play MP3s you'll likely hear the compression artifacts.
It deserves a good turntable or CD-or-better quality digital sources. Give it good source material and it'll bring tears to your eyes.

My client shoot this morning got cancelled. Which was probably for the best since I've spent the day feeling groggy and drugged for some reason. Oh well. At least it's Friday.
Not sure where this concept came from, but I had a super disturbing and upsetting dream when I tried to nap this afternoon, so maybe that had something to do with it. Whatever. It was quick and easy, so that fit well with my mood today.

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
cause theres too many places Ive got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I cant change.
But please dont take it badly,
cause lord knows Im to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
Cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird youll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Lord help me, I cant change.
i heart Owl City. it/he is the next best thing to a new Postal Service album, which will probably never come to fruition.
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

Had to get one more Musically Challenged song in before the end of the week. Really dug the selections this week.
And I have to apologize, but this is a total post and run. I've gotta get changed and head out for soccer tonight. It was a long day at the office, believe it or not, and I had just enough time to get this shot done, scarf down a turkey sandwich while editing, and now post it before having to bolt. Everybody have a great Thursday evening.
Is it too soon to say TGIF? Maybe, but eff it, I'm saying it anyway.
