He carries me through times or darkness.
He lives to silence all my fears and wipe away all my tears.
He makes me feel at peace in heart and calms my troubled mind.
He lifts me up when I am feeling down, gives me hope and inspires me.
He listens, understands my past and believes in my future path.
He walked into my life and accepted me the way I am.
He is my earthly Angel with a beautiful mind.
You are min Engel mine.

Narrative. Narrative! NARRATIVE!
I went for a walk in nature recently and came across a man shouting Narrative! Narrative! Narrative!
I enquired as to what was distressing him so.
His dog had run away from him and wouldn't come back.
I enquired why he was shouting "Narrative!". It turned out that was the name of his dog.
I pointed out that he had lost control of his own narrative...
He seemed less than pleased.

in front of the congreso de los diputados in madrid. order and power carved in stone. yet life moves between the lines. a woman with an umbrella, alone in the rain. moments of humanity breaking through the rigid geometry of the facade. flat light, deep shadows. a fleeting moment that disrupts perfection but somehow completes it.
When I begun to process this exposure bracketing, I thought that I knew what I wanted to attain. I was perfectly wrong. Indeed, these RAW files kept a few secret bits of beauty which I was not aware of when I selected them for processing – and they changed the course of the journey I had foreordained.
I was in a gloomy mood, for both personal and general concerns, and the RAWs looked rather duller than the average – taken: they appeared to accurately mirror the state of my soul. At worst, I would have wasted some hours of pointless procesing work before deciding to look for something better. Nobody would have known. However things were to contradict my expectations. I got some good news (a rarity in those tough days) about the health conditions of my brother and my “adopted brother-in-law” (i.e. my brother’s brother-in-law); on the other hand, Darktable – that wonderful software – gifted me with a few unanticipated treasures. My thoughts were growing more and more positive and the processing of this bracketing were proceeding accordingly: a hidden beauty was unfolding before me, my own persisting unawareness of it notwithstanding. At last I found myself with a picture that had apparently self-processed itself*, while I was busy exploring uncharted thoughts that kept emerging along the way
* Admittedly a bizarre phenomenon, which Maurits Cornelius Escher would have loved – think of his Drawing hands.
I would avoid to nag you about this incredibly wonderful location: you can take a look at my album Silent banks, the complete collection of the photos I have taken there; the attached narratives are rich in information about the place, if you are curious enough.
This location is especially renowned for its legendary morning mists, but only a thin layer of milky mist floated above the water that morning. On top of the hill in the distance, beyond the river, lays the sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca ( = Madonna of the Rock), already brushed by the first light pouring from the Eastern horizon.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then, as usual, I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. In this picture I have exploited this technique in a very frugal, yet effective, way – just some touches where needed.
RAW files has been processed with Darktable. Denoising with DFine 2 and the Gimp (denoised and original images blended by lightness).
The previous post of Burnett Falls was taken with a longer lens, while this one is with an extremely wide angle lens. The change in perspective causes the image to appear wildly different. Now a large waterfalls looks more like water draining from my bath tub faucet. Much of what we intend to say, depends on the story we are trying to tell.
Yesterday, it was "about" the waterfalls, the torrent of water created, and how it dominates its domain. Today, the narrative is "of" a waterfalls, and how it is a segment or member of the forest. Same place, same time, and yet so very different because the narrative changed.
Foxes, serving as messengers for Inari (the deity associated with paddy fields and other attributes), are depicted as statues marking the shrines. Narrative paintings and scrolls often feature kitsune (foxes), particularly as white foxes.
At Fushimi Inari Shrine, the kitsune sculptures make up over 25% of all fox statues found at shrines throughout Japan.
In Japanese iconography, foxes hold significant roles, ranging from cunning shape-shifters to guardians of rice and granaries. In mythology, foxes (kitsune) can be either bad (nogitsune) or good (yako or zenko), often distinguished by their colors and facial expressions in paintings.
Regarding sculptures, good foxes are typically placed at the entrances of Inari shrines, serving as guardians. These statues are often adorned with a red cloth, symbolizing the auspicious color of Inari. In contrast, bad fox statues are fewer and usually hidden in thickets or remote locations.
At the Inari shrine, a kitsune holding a key to the rice granary welcomes visitors. Its raised tail and stern expression signify its role as a guardian. The other kitsune in the pair greets visitors with a pleasant expression. Both kitsune at Fushimi Inari have one tail, while some kitsune depicted as spirits or souls in paintings have multiple tails.

Some kind of landscape photography I think. Captured in April 2023 at Troon South Beach, Scotland.
There are 3 vital things that someone with severe CPTSD needs in order to function and heal.
1/ Consistency, predictability and routine.
2/ A place of safety and comfort
3/ Patience and compassion
Without these my trauma response is activated. I can't help that, it is physiological.
These needs have not been fully met for the past 2 years or so. Is it any wonder my symptoms have worsened? Now I am blamed for not healing fast enough. 25 years of abuse and PTSD cannot be fixed with 1 year of therapy and just one year of healing afterwards, least of all when those needs are not fully met. I didn't stand a chance.
Last night a friend from the past messaged me at a critical time. They chatted with me online for some 2 hours or more. They actually made me cry, smile and even laugh. It saved The Samaritans a call and that friend may have saved my life. The timing was impeccable.
The biggest threat to me is not having the 3 vital things. Without those I will spiral into hell. There is no chance I can heal without them. I just don't know where I can get them now. I can't do this alone and I will need actual in-person physical help as well. At my worst I am unable to even cook a meal or even answer the door. At times I could not even leave the house into the garden.
At my best there are little nuggets of the old 'Leanne' there. I just can't find her by myself. I am too ill to do it all alone now.
For the friend that contacted me last night. I am in their debt.
I am trying to post to Flickr and enjoy your photography to maintain routine. It has helped to hold me together for a long time. I am struggling to comment on other people's work or find 'happy' photographs to share. I hope I can get back there though.
In the meantime. Thank you for your understanding and caring. However remote, it does help. It does help.
When the discussion of composition rises, I like to consider the narrative. This is also what the image is attempting to convey, also known as the story. For example, if one were to follow the guideline of thirds, this image would have very little to say. When I spoke to those responsible and asked about the netting, they told me of its purpose. To protect the crops against all manner of elements. The pesky crows and other intrusive birds. The tormenting weather and the menacing winds.
After my initial work that used the guidelines others prefer, I returned the next day with the narrative in mind. Although it was the netting that first drew my attention to this unusual sight, it was the weather that told the accompanying story. The clouds had a more menacing look to them, and contributed with a statement. Their portrayal of disaster now brought meaning to the netting, and where to put the horizon. The construction of a successful images is more often in the narrative, as opposed to the mechanics.
The silence was beautiful yet stark. Harsh silence. Unlike like the soft silence that fills a golden yawning morning, the sharp silence stretched miles into dark unwavering shadows that disappeared in the wall of fog. I had left my car far behind in the parking lot at the RMNP following a trail that led me through gentle sloping hills and forest yet suddenly the trail seemed to end suddenly and I found myself in a whiteout like chasm of fog and swirling snow. I stared into this white silent world fascinated by the dark abstract shapes. Maybe they were trees. Maybe something moved. A dark blur of motion in my peripheral vision on my right sent me spinning. My heart quickened and suddenly logic was there, explaining in a loud voice in my head to take the path and leave. I hesitated. My eyes were drawn to the jagged pointed tree heads barely emerging through the heavy blanket of mist. The trees stood watching, waiting. I raised my camera and as I stared though the tiny square trying to focus I heard the crackle and pop of breaking branches. Click.
Perhaps it was deer, drawn into this flat white wall as I was or some other woodland creature. Being so far up in the National park there are a lot of wild animals. I only know that I found myself back at my car within record time (ha!) Back at home I'm drawn over and over again to the shadowy mystique of the image. I feel the snow flakes against my cheek and the intensity of the moment. Had to share it as small as it may seem. I hope you enjoy the intrigue as well.

The assignment that I am working on is narrative. Please let me know what you think. I have looked at it for so long now that my brain is totally frazzled and I feel totally incapable of coherent thoughts.

Kintsugi is a series of interconnected mixed media photo books/zines meant to be read together, though in no particular order. The title refers to the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, where fractures are not concealed but transformed into part of the whole. Similarly, the narrative unfolds in fragments—entries, logs, memos, and notes that, assembled, reveal a larger structure.
The texts document the Habitat and its inhabitants, who, under the supervision of The Vault, tend to the surrounding terrain and to the Shells—enigmatic local forms whose nature remains uncertain. What emerges is a record of observation, repair, and transformation—an act of narrative kintsugi.
I think I got the Ansco Color Clipper about ten years ago. I haven't "seriously" shot with it in a few years, but I brought it along with me this past weekend.
I'll probably shoot more with it this season. I'm not really sure of its purpose just yet, but I'll find one. Or I won't, and that's fine too.
This was taken in the early morning inside Yakima Canyon. I also shot a similar scene with the RB67, but it didn't work out so well.

I photographed this street vendor January 7th 2016. I was amused at the variety of pop culture now 'vintage'.. oddly Davie Bowie died 2 days later.. it is poignant and culturally interesting that he was 'vintage' while still alive.. I found this particularly fascinating given the random, component elements unwittingly arranged in the bins
