During a patrol route across Starkiller base a First Order Snowspeeder run into a, well, annoying obstacle.
Snowtrooper Officer: “Where in the hell did you learn to drive, trooper? You have a snow-covered expanse before you and you run over the only obstacle?! And while piloting a repulsorlift vehicle, nonetheless!”
Snowtrooper: “But Sir, how could I’ve known he was there! They said he was not in Episode VII, Sir”
OFFICER: “Does it look like we are in a movie, trooper? This is not a film, this is our Brick world!”
TROOPER: “And it means…”
OFFICER: “It means there isn’t a script to protect us from the presence of such annoying creature! As long as something exists in the Star Wars universe, and sometimes even beyond, it can appear here anytime! Blame whoever created that silly thing but in the name of the our Supreme Leader, keep your eyes open!”
TROOPER: “Yes, Sir!”
OFFICER: “Now throw that annoying creature away from my speeder and let’s try to complete out patrol without meeting him again!”
A little parody photo and background story, no real hate against characters, creators of characters etc :)
It seems the First Order does not like Jar Jar but my contacts say the Resistance does not like him either lol :)
May the Brick be with You :)

I'm gonna pull you in close gonna wrap you up tight
gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face and toast the snow that fell
because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell
i feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye
I think he's making something special and I'm smart enough to try
if you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day
well you should trust in this girl cause loving is coming our way
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on route 7 when i find the right place
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
in my mind
this is my free time
because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
(take my love in these small doses)
I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way
(take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on route 7 when I find the right place
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
in my mind
this is my free time
to break it all away
spend it all today
spend it all today
it took time then I found you
it took time then I found you
(eos 450d di belle haleine)
I believe that human morality, rather than flagrant sin, is the greatest obstacle to the gospel today. If you ask the average law-abiding person why he expects to go to heaven, the answer will be some form of “because I’ve been good.” The rich young ruler (see Matthew 19:16-20), the prodigal son’s older brother (see Luke 15:28-30), and the Pharisee praying in the temple (see Luke 18:9-12) all had this in common: They were confident of their own goodness. Their attitude is replicated throughout our society. And the more religious a person is, the more difficult it is for that person to realize his or her need for the righteousness of Jesus Christ. - Jerry Bridges

Everywhere we travel, I set myself some kind of Milky Way challenge. This time, was to shoot the MW whilst traveling on a Cruise Ship (P&O's Pacific Pearl) with a large swell and 20kn of wind :)
The main obstacle was obviously the boat moving up and down (several meters at the bow and stern), the wind and then of course, trying to find a place on the ship to shoot from. The only places to shoot were the top deck with a heap of light, and decks on the stern which had a hell of a vibration going on and not aiming the correct way for the MW.
No-one was allowed on the decks overlooking the bow ( :( ) so finding an interesting composition was quite a challenge. Let alone a sharp MW shot.
This shot was with the Samyang 14mm ƒ2.8 lens, ƒ2.8, 2.5 seconds and 20,000 ISO.
Overall it was a fun experience, not the most amazing shots but considering the situation I think they work quite well.

Macro Mondays ~ July 11 ~ Challenge: Obstacles
I thought of many things that are obstacles for people.......weight, money, greed, power,etc. I had a few in mind for my photograph but kept coming back to this. This has been an obstacle all my life. If you have never had a family member with this problem you may not recognize it as a disease but it is. It is not just a "choice" that affects only the life of the alcoholic. It is an obstacle for the alcoholic's loved ones in all aspects of their lives.....their marriages, friendships, jobs and relationships. I still go back and look at how it affected my relationship with my mother while she was alive.....it still affects me today.
“The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”

"Life will find a way."

Twenty years ago i was accepted into the College of Art and Science at Bowling Green State University. As excited as I was, over a span of 4 months leading up to my travels there I had strange nightly dreams! Each night i dreamed that I packed my belongings and set out to school with each and every person I had ever known in my life...hundreds of faces swam before me in each dream...and each location was different, Italy, Mexico, my grandfather's farmland! But each dream left me feeling lost and desperate...unsettled!
The final dream I had was the night before my departure......i was wearing a long, white cotton dress that blew in the breeze. Everyone was in may backyard as i opened the door and stepped outside. The grass was greener than any grass i had ever seen. On the picnic table was a bowl of deep red apples....everyone smiled and waved at me as a I walked past....alone....toward the back split rail fence and the golden wheat field beyond! Slow motion crept over me and I was consumed with dread!
As i approached the garage on the right I stopped breathing......I set my eyes to the back fence....but as I passed the garage there was a man standing there....i could see him in the corner of my eye! And as I placed my hand on the fence rail and began to climb over....his hand took hold of my shoulder......
And that is when I woke up!
The news came the very next morning.....family circumstances rendered me unable to go to Bowling Green! I was bitter about it, letting it define my life for a few years, blaming others...the dream and the clarity of it still haunt me today.....
But I NOW know that each and every one of my obstacles in life are totally imposed by me.....
