She stood in the hush of morning, where the air carried the scent of something unfamiliar yet kind. The past lingered behind her, not as a shadow, but as a story written to its final word. There was no bitterness in its closing, no lingering sorrow, only the quiet reverence of an era laid to rest, in good terms.
Today, the air felt different, as if the world itself had shifted, making space for something else. The weight she had carried for so long had loosened, unraveling thread by thread until it no longer clung to her. There was no need to measure the distance between who she had been and who she is now. That part no longer mattered.
The road ahead stretched wide and unmarked, each step a quiet promise to herself. She did not need to know where it led - only that it was hers to walk. And as she moved forward, the light caught her in a way it never had before, as if even the sun knew.

For me, a new day represents a new chapter in life. This will be the last picture I post that was taken before I started photography classes in college.
Because of this, I am located in Florida now and my photography will take a change with the new scenery around here.
I've survived the worst (I hope!) and now trying to arrange our new place.
The girls are already busy with their new homework and being without a tv, helps.
Realized I missed to post one from the Old Tempura WaterLilies Series

From the 1st May 2015 I officially finished at Cheshire West and Chester Council. Having had a particularly difficult Christmas time turning over all the options open to me, I finally decided to nail my colours to the mast and pursue voluntary redundancy. It hasn't been easy by any measure. There are so many aspects you don't factor in when making the initial decision and it relates entirely to other people.
The first question people have asked me is "So where are you going/have you got anything lined up?" this question has galvanised my thoughts on the British as a hierarchical nation. The notion of class and status is so ingrained that most don't even recognise it is a judgement.
This idea was first introduced to me back in 2010 when I was dating Olivier. It really spoke to me that every French person he introduced me to in Nice didn't give a monkeys about where I worked or what I did, their first questions were always "What is the music culture like in England right now? Where do you get your clothes from? What do you watch on TV?" in a nutshell 'tell me more about you and your life, your interests and the things that excite you!'
So my answer to the "What are you going to do?" question is answered with "Not this!". I have been blessed to have worked for some of the most amazing, inspiring and aspirational (mostly) women and they have been the reason I have worked in Local Government for the last 11 years. Right now it is time to go, the more cuts and squeezes we face, the more the none essential parts of work are being deleted.
As with school budgets it is never maths, science or english that suffers, but music and art. The unfortunate part of that is there are rarely creatives at the top of the tree making all the decisions, so the benefits of creative working are never recognised and the corporate world is reduced to beige and grey.
And Ladies and Gentlemen, I can assure you without hesitation that I am never, ever, ever going to be beige or grey.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
~Thomas Jefferson

This was my buddy, Dwight (named after a video game character from Dead By Daylight). Dwight is a Douglas Squirrel. I will miss him and his fellow squirrel's who I feed off the back deck of the rental we were in. They were all very friendly and often stood on the windowsill and watched us just as much as we watched them. I could walk up and snap a photo of them and they would almost pose for me. It brought me a bit of happiness when my depression was at its worse.
So, our adventures (or lack thereof) in Spokane Washington are officially over and now another chapter closes while another opens.
Admittedly it had been about 4 years since I had been there last and that trip was less than a day. So I guess not much of a shock when we, mostly I, realized how much I disliked Spokane and the people there.
I guess I never felt welcome being a democrat.. gay... liberal... pro-choice... wanting gun control and constantly questioning why in the hell there are so many loud-ass jacked-up trucks (they are everywhere up there) with right-wing, pro-trump bumper stickers like "Annoy a liberal, use facts and logic" or "Republicans working like crazy to support the lazy" or "Abortion the American Holocaust" or "Straight Pride" or the "Whoever voted for Biden owes me gas money" or LGBTQ Let's Get Biden To Quit or "Fuck Biden and fuck you for voting for him"... Those just make my blood boil! It shouldn't get to me but it does especially considering these people support to this day the worst *president in history, the twice impeached criminal, traitor himself Donald John Trump.
Moved back to Oregon, my home state. I feel more grounded here. Javi and I will be looking for housing soon and we will see.
To help fund this and pay some larger bills, I am selling stuff on Mercari (just a few items for now, but I plan on putting more up for sale). Have a glance, follow me on there and if you see something you like let me know.
Love, peace, fellowship, and support to you all
If you are interested in buying this or any other photos I have on Flickr, please contact me here via Flickr messaging and I will get back to you asap. Thank you, James

This is for you aftab bhai
It has bougainvillea flowers,and a bird..two things i automatically associate with your photographs.
I have wanted to dedicate a shot to you so many times..but nothing,ever seemed good enough.Neither is this..but it feels like the right one.
And today i find i’ll never wake up,open flickr and see your uploads again..like every good thing..that joy has come to an end.Posting something for you today,is perhaps very cliche..but i don’t care :)
I have learnt so much from you,bhaiya.and not only about photography..I think you’re one of the most giving and genuinely kind people i’ve ever met..and funny thing is i never met you.
But still,from a country so far away,you’ve helped,inspired and given so much..it seems foolish to attempt to thank you.
You’ve made flickr what it is,thank you for being there,always.

I leave a chapter behind to move
on to the next.
I guess I have to walk alone and to find myself again.
Someone is singing and I hear the familiar song Faintly....Born free...
No one was there except me.
I'd previously shared that I was turning a new page and starting a new chapter in my professional career. After a little over three years of working on the CW Sub for the Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad and then the Washington Eastern Railroad, I've decided to hang up my engineer's gloves: at least in a full time capacity. It's time to explore other options and new horizons. I want to thank all my Brothers with whom I've had the privilege of working with, past and present, for making these past three years a very special, priceless time in my life and, in the process, having fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a locomotive engineer. Stay safe!

It is time to turn the page and begin a new chapter.
A new story has begun to unfold.
This photo was taken from a Zenza Bronica S2 medium format film camera and NIKKOR-Q 1:3.5 f=13.5cm lens with a Kowa L39 3C(UV) ø67 filter attached to an A/B/C Combo Extension Tube using Kodak Portra 160 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
I'm sitting here in front of my computer tonight after I got home from my last class and turned in my last project. It's something I've done every night for the past 4 years, but tonight it felt so different. I've been excited, for a couple of weeks really, about finally finishing my degree; but tonight at my computer it really sort of hit me that I'd finished a chapter in my life. It was a very long, stressful chapter, full of challenges and accomplishments.
I thought of the hundreds, if not thousands, of hours I'd sat in front of this computer over the past four years, toiling away on projects. I thought of the many many nights that I'd come in here to work while my incredible partner, Thom, cooked dinner for us and cleaned and did the laundry, all so I could do my school work. I thought of the many weekends when I had to stay home and focus on those projects when I'd rather have been out having fun with my partner, and Thom steadfastly supported that work and tried to find something to do to occupy himself. We both have brand new Panasonic Lumix micro 4/3 cameras that we've bought just in the past 6 months, and we've barely even used them because of my school work. I thought about how patient, supporting, and loving he had been over these past two years since he moved here to be with me.
I was very successful in school, and I'm at the top of my class, but I have to give Thom a huge part of the credit for that. He pushed me to be a better designer, and he gave me the time I needed to focus on my work so that I could turn in great pieces instead of just mediocre pieces that would have gotten me by. There's no doubt in my mind that I have the most awesome partner I could have ever imagined and I am so truly thankful to have him in my life.
Now as we forge onward in this new chapter together I am so looking forward to getting out and truly exploring with Thom, and sharing some awesome weekends with him on road trips, camping, hiking, just getting out and being together, which is something he's had to sacrifice for me for the past two years.
Our most important goal now is to get moved to Vermont within the next year. It won't be easy with the job market the way it is, but then again, nothing worth truly having is easy. But even though I have no way of knowing how the situation will play out with our move, or how difficult it might be, having Thom with me to share the next chapter, and all the chapters after that, will make my life richer and happier than I could have hoped for in my wildest dreams.
So, thanks to all my flicker friends who've commented on my photos over the past two years and given me supporting compliments. Thanks to my incredibly awesome partner who has made me happier than I've ever been. Here's to closing out the old chapter and opening up a new one. I have a feeling this one's gonna be a LOT more fun!
On to new chapters.
Happy New Year to all of you!
May it be a good one - healthy, happy, successful, and in love!

Candles burning in the night
Just like a child's life
We've got to save them
Candles burning in the night
Just like a child's life
We've got to save them
Jah in all my days
I'm so ashamed
To see what's really happening
They're running all about
They're so out of order
And have no behaviour
Candles burning in the night
