day 174 of 365
................................................................................................................................................................................
so anyone else realize it's nearly the end of june already? and im slowing closing in on day 200. i really think this 365 has helped the year go by much faster. i also like the fact that i can go back already and look through these pictures and have a ton of memories from them. its so awesome. seriously last year i can barely remember a thing from but this year i have the days documented. i love it. so anyways. today i went out and bought some crocheting supplies and im gonna try out some new projects and hopefully they turn out. other than that today has been a rather boring one. i am in serious need of a job. i hate not doing anything all day. hate it!
and this lovely idea was inspired by foreverinamotion. you should go check out her stuff. its amazing! and she has an awesome tutorial on how to do this.
one of the vendors at #stARTonthestreet made book safes. hollowed out real books where you can store valuables-- a very cool idea!! wonder if there is a youtube video of how to do this??
found a set of written directions:

Dōtonbori or Dōtombori (道頓堀?, pronounced [doːtomboɽi]) is one of the principal tourist destinations in Osaka, Japan, running along the Dōtonbori canal from Dōtonboribashi Bridge to Nipponbashi Bridge in the Namba district of the city's Chuo ward. Historically a theater district, it is now a popular nightlife and entertainment area characterized by its eccentric atmosphere and large illuminated signboards.
Sun and I went trick or treating this morning. Our favorite pet shop gives free treats to any pup that comes to visit wearing a costume on Halloween day!
Wild or domesticated animals had a vital role in ancient Egypt. The exhibition "Animals and Pharaohs" shows the role and importance of animals in Pharaonic civilization.
Consisting of more than four hundred pieces the exhibit reconstructs the relationship between animals and men religious beliefs , nature and culture, from admiration and fear in everyday life, war or in agriculture.
ILos animales salvajes o domesticados tienen un papel fundamental en el antiguo Egipto. La exposición Animales y faraones muestra la función y la importancia de la figura animal en la civilización faraónica.
Formada por más de cuatrocientas piezas, reconstruye la relación que se estableció entre los hombres y los animales, la naturaleza y la cultura, desde la admiración y el temor en la vida cotidiana, en la agricultura, la guerra y las creencias religiosas.
More swans I'm afraid but they make such brilliant subjects! From the expression I was given I guess he isn't sharing his lunch

Canon or Nikon? Macro or Micro? There's something for everyone. Either way, you can't go wrong.
This was the ending picture of a light & shoot play-day Cricce and I did.
Strobist information:
A Elinchrom D-Lite 2 it with a 66x66cm Portalite soft box above the cameras, pointing down, slightly angled to the camera to get more fall-off towards the back. A gelled (CTB) Canon 430EX bounced via a silver reflector just under the camera to shine a little bit light into the lenses and on the front of the cameras.

Or so it seems that spring lasted around here. Back to winter - snow expected tomorrow.
But I discovered a new way to waste time in Photoshop. Camera Raw lets the user selectively adjust portions of the raw file. In this case, I dropped the exposure on the entire image by almost a full stop, then brought just the crocus back up to the original exposure value.

The present work known as Narcissus or “The Mazarin Hermaphrodite”, combines the bust of an antique funerary effigy with the lower part of a body from a different statue. The figure was much admired in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was known by the Romantic name of “The Spirit of Eternal Rest”.
Described in 1661 as being in the upper gallery of the Palais Mazarin, it was vandalized in 1670 by the Duc de Mazarin (1632–1713), who mutilated the more naked statues in his collection.
Cardinal Mazarin (1602–61) put together, first in Rome, then in Paris, a collection of antiquities which he stored in the two galleries of his Parisian palace (today, the Bibliothèque Nationale). After Mazarin’s death, Colbert acquired the finest of the antiquities for Louis XIV in 1665. The rest of the collection remained in the Palais Mazarin, before being partially dispersed in the 18th century, then confiscated during the Revolution for the Louvre.

I have been chatting with the delightful Jacqueline Landau about Lacie Satine & BadLacie. Other than giving myself large boobs, this is I think a lovely portrait, albeit poorly framed. A sign of my growing confidence, that I am starting to enjoy Satine.
There are evenings when the setting sun is obscured by clouds - this effect creates a red glow if the sunset was to be red in the sky which I didn't see as intense as in this part of Central Europe. And to make things "worse", which I was waiting for those 2 ducks to paddle by a swan made a landing just behind them. - I know, too much to be true :-)
With two models, there's something for everyone.
I couldn't decide between convertible or coupe... so I decided not to.
Gallery eventually.

Some drama exists between these two toothbrushes.
I don't know what it is. The purple toothbrush is either intimidating the crap out of the multi-colored toothbrush -- maybe roughing him up for some money, or telling him to stay away from his woman --
Or, the purple toothbrush is closing in on a kiss to the motley toothbrush's whiskery... uh, lady face.
I mean, unless it's two dude toothbrushes. I don't go that way, but if I have gay toothbrushes, I won't persecute them for that. They should be allowed to get married and adopt little dental floss boxes and all that. Freedom for all toothbrushes, I say.

It's really too early.
In the early hours of December 17th I headed out to photograph the Subway in the first snowstorm of the season, winter storm Gail. The storm turned out to be a record one, blanketing the city in 8 to 12 inches of powder (depending on the location within the vast city); the most in a single storm since 2016.
Here, a Manhattan-bound (N) train is approaching 8th Ave station - the first above-ground station since the line's split from the 4th Avenue subway and naturally my first stop.

Piccadilly Circus is perhaps the most famous road junction in the whole of London, built in 1819 to connect Regent Street and Piccadilly (the street that is). Already in the 19th century it was famous for there being a lot of traffic there due to it being the middle of the so called Theatreland.
The fountain is the Shaftesbury Memorial, erected in 1892-1893, was originally in the middle of the circus, but was moved to its current position after the second world war. The fountain was to commemorate the philanthropical work of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury. The winged figure on the top is sometimes called The Angel of Christian Charity (which is not what it's actually named) or Eros (which also is wrong). It is actually supposed to be Anteros - the god of requited love - symbolizing the the selfless work of the Earl for the poor. The nudity of the fountain was somewhat debated at the time of the unveiling - but generally the fountain got a good reception. It is the first statue in the world to be cast in aluminium - but the fountain itself is made of bronze. Now it is a popular meeting-place.
The name Piccadilly is first mentioned in 1626 and comes from a house belonging to the tailor Robert Baker famous for his piccadillies (a term for various terms for collars).
Doing any self-portraits are tough enough. Doing it underwater makes it even harder when you have zero experience. I was completely unprepared but determined to get something for my Twelve a Year Project. I had this song stuck in my head after hearing it endlessly I knew I wanted to do something underwater. It'll take a lot of practice to get the result I have in mind, but I know I can if I keep practicing.
"All will flow in, in my eyes, turn into a sea
I'll never know what I'm capable of
If I don't go where I'm scared to be lost
Hope will find my way when I'm going through the night
Somebody gotta tell me that I'm gonna be alright
Always crazy
It's crazy up in here
I'm inside my head"
