Not knowing when the next wave is going to hit you, perhaps is your best chance to stay positive. The only way to survive is battling back even if you are feeling down.
Shooting with a GoPro Hero is a totally strange experience for me. Being an optical view finder guy, I have never gotten used to compose a shot with electronic view finders on my mobile phone, or even my Powershot S100. Now, imagine shooting in front of your subjects without using your hand, and instead, strapping and composing the camera with your head. You only get to see the results after pulling still frames out of a long video recording. This is weird and totally out of my comfort zone, but at the same time I feel this as another challenge to get something unique and fun.
I have been experimenting with taking day shots and using Photoshop's "invert" feature to convert the shot to a negative image. Day then becomes night. This is essentially the same shot as "Adams Street" (Malta, Illinois) in my feed below. A gimmick in my opinion for sure but still interesting to play around with.
Here today sick and frail it was all i could do to not let him sail
away
in the wind
thin beyond thin
bone and fur was all he had been
for who knows how long
he came to me to survive
i tried
once i caught him for a hospital visit
but he bit me hard to the bone i feared
and my visit was for six shots all in the rear
so i fed him and kept him warm in winter
the best i could
now i fear he is gone
not come back for more
and so he is finally at home
with a hot meal and a good tale to tell
of life and hardship with a cat tale to sell

while hunting for another photo in my vast store of "stuff", I ran into the photo on the left. I don't know how, or when, or why, but I thought I'd to invert and see what was there. It's definitely me, I must have been working on making negatives at the time.
one of life's mysteries.
on the right is the inversion.
I tried searching on my stream, but it was quite a task. dunno whether I've used this photo before or not.
ah, I did find a version here from Sept 2016. I was working on oiled paper negatives.
**tonight I donated to Razom for Ukraine and World Central Kitchen.
please don't forget Ukraine. they still need food, clothing, and medical supplies.
NO MORE WAR! enough....
This shot was inspired by the Monthly Challenge theme - Negative Space over on the 5 FIA Flickr Group.
Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments & faves are greatly appreciated.
Karst Spring is a roaring torrent that gushes out of a wall of rock - it was lovely to be there on a 30C day, lots of cool plants there too.

trying a few bokeh shots with the 18-55mm lens i bought with my cam :)
flowers are so simple yet so pure and beautiful..no wonder they depict love , the purest and most beautiful human emotion :)
is the cropping right or did i let in a lot of negative space..i just want you all to see the bokeh :P
the strangest thing about a hole is the edge.
If a hole is plugged, where is it?
And: and why are there no half holes ??
Travelling on the famous german Autobahn always left a strange impression on me. There's people in their cars everywhere around you, yet you hardly communicate or meet them...
So I set out to have some roadside chats and asked some fellow travellers for their picture.
Years ago.

Another in my (unintended) series of storm damaged tree photos. This big guy has lost half his limbs, and now stands rather awkwardly, perhaps fearful of the next great storm. (Or am I just reading too much into the image?) Seen in Co. Mayo, Ireland.
Tropical storm Typeo brought it.... a new perspective on an old craft. I thank you my friend!
