"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires?
What is it about the vampire myth that explains our interest?
Is it the overtone of sexual lust, power and control?
Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?
And what dark and hidden parts of our psyche are aroused and captivated
By the legends of the undead, by the legends of the undead,
By the legends of the undead.
The mystery of the undead will continue to fascinate the living.
Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires?
And what dark and hidden parts of our psyche are aroused and captivated
By the legends of the undead, by the legends of the undead?"

Final moments of a recent session with model (and neighbor) Katie. The turbulent early autumn weather caught up with us in this desolate farm field. A light drizzle quickly turned into a downpour, the raindrops ice cold on the skin amid gusty winds. It was simultaneously joyous and melancholy. Katie is moving to another state in less than a week to begin a new career. Sad to contemplate this being our last session. We gamely continued the shoot even as the rain intensified. I had hoped for a brief, passing shower, but the rain was unrelenting and we finally retreated. Looking back, the stormy weather greatly enhanced the overtone of desperation in the scene. So very fitting under the circumstances.
“Perfume is the art that makes memory speak.” – Francis Kurkdjian (French perfumier).
The theme for for "Looking Close… on Friday" for Friday 23rd of May is "minimalism on a black background". I recently acquired this still sealed sample bottle of L.T. Piver’s Floramye perfume which I adore for its stylised Art Nouveau label featuring iris blooms in faded lilac around its name. The bottle still has purple cord wrapped around its seal. Even though the bottle is sealed, being one hundred and twenty years old, the perfume inside has long evaporated, leaving but a ghostly waft of scent. It seems a lovely piece to have selectively as the focus of an image against a black background. I hope you like my choice for this week’s them and that it makes you smile.
Floramye, was a scent created for L.T. Piver in 1905 by perfumer Pierre Armigeant (1874-1955) with the collaboration of chemist, Professor George Darzens. Floramye has a green iris bouquet, a natural type of subject, but there's amber, and a hard fizzy overtone that clearly isn't natural. Like the name : Flora - which is flower in Latin, with the fantasy suffix mye, Floramye is a hybrid - largely natural and a bit synthetic. Floramye was the first perfume to utilize methyl nonyl acetaldehyde, a discovery of Darzens. It would not be until the 1920's when this odorant would be widely used as perfumers moved away from nature and started to use chemical compounds. As a result they were less reliant on natural products, and - just as crucially - their imaginations were no longer tied to the garden.
L.T. Piver was one of the founding houses of French perfumery. In 1813, Louis-Toussaint Piver took over an enterprise that had been founded On July 8, 1774 by Michel Adam, "maître gantier parfumeur versaillais", in a shop at 82, rue des Lombards in Paris under the name "A la Reine des Fleurs". The company is still a leading French perfumery to this day with classically fragranced products created more than a century ago still in production.
The winter solstice now grips the northern hemisphere in darkness. I refer to November and December as the dark part of winter even though most of this period falls in autumn. It's not just the darkness, but the constant ebbing away of daylight that depletes me. Each day brings less daylight than the one before. It's like a grim countdown that reinforces the notion that these final months of the year are something to be endured rather than appreciated. That's not a constant for me, however it is the general overtone. My psyche often rises and falls based on the cloud cover. Some days the overcast is so thick that it seems as if the streetlights will pop on during the midday. Skies so dark that it's impossible to detect even a glimmer indicating the position of the sun. And the landscape rendered into a shadowless, low contrast, and desaturated muddle. Optimism seems to surge when the sun manages to break free from the clouds. Still not much color in the world; quite bleak in fact. And the shadows cast all seem absurdly long and distorted. But everything is relative, so we take what we get and adapt to the circumstances. Three full months of astronomical winter lie ahead (and probably even more in terms of actual weather). But being on the gaining side of daylight is like hitting a mental reset button for me. A glimmer of optimism amid the shroud of fog, not unlike the sun, rising dimly in this scene.

The skies here have been dimmed the past several days on account of wildfire smoke drifting down from Canada. The winds aloft have pushed the haze hundreds of miles from its source, and dispersed fine particles of ash and soot along the way. Broad daylight no longer feels broad. Even sunny days seem diminished, and sharp edged shadows have been replaced by low contrast softness. The sky now lacks a sense of blueness. It's sort of like living life under a partial solar eclipse: daylight but not quite. The oddness increases in early evening when the sun begins to take on a reddish-orange hue much earlier than normal. I noticed my kitchen filling with wonderfully warm golden tones last evening a good 90 minutes before sunset when the sun is ordinarily still bright white. It's possible (though still not safe) to actually look at the sun in these moments. To my eye its shape is sharply defined when it is normally lost in blinding glare. It's eerie, otherworldly and a bit disturbing.
This photo is quite different from the other photos that I upload due to the topic. It was a very foggy day so the photo gives a mysterious overtone. Most people are leary of cemeteries as I guess that it is something we don't like to think about too often....our mortality. I actually visit on occasion to see my Father's grave as it gives me a piece of mind to talk...reflect and remember wonderful memories of him. I enjoyed how this turned out as the path is lit which reminds me of the saying "I am the light" The light in the path to me is comforting not sad or mysterious. Have a great weekend all!

I call this "All in a row". That is the first thing that came to me when I seen these boats. I decided to crop this in a panoramic style that allows me to compose them in a way that naturally draws your eyes to scan the boats. Although I edited this image to resemble a painting like I have so many times I try not to alter the balance of the color of the original image. One might think the water needs to have more cyan however because the sun was low the water it actually had a magenta overtone.

Second take of this one. Exploring some new presets in Lightroom. Found this one that brought out a purplish overtone. I thought it worked well with the sunset and guitar.
Flowers yield abundant nectar from which bees make a high-quality honey. Monofloral honey is produced primarily around the Mediterranean, and is marketed worldwide as a premium product. Flowers can be candied and are sometimes used as cake decorations. Lavender flavors baked goods and desserts (it pairs especially well with chocolate), and is also used to make "lavender sugar".[11] Lavender flowers are occasionally blended with black, green, or herbal tea, adding a fresh, relaxing scent and flavor.
Though it has many other traditional uses in southern France, lavender is not used in traditional southern French cooking. It does not appear at all in the best-known compendium of Provençal cooking, J.-B. Reboul's Cuisinière Provençale [12] In the 1970s, a herb blend called herbes de Provence usually including lavender was invented by spice wholesalers,[13] and lavender has more recently become popular in cookery.
Lavender lends a floral and slightly sweet flavor to most dishes, and is sometimes paired with sheep's-milk and goat's-milk cheeses. For most cooking applications the dried buds (also referred to as flowers) are used, though some chefs experiment with the leaves as well. Only the buds contain the essential oil of lavender, from which the scent and flavor of lavender are best derived.
In the United States, both lavender syrup and dried lavender buds are used to make lavender scones and marshmallows.
Lavender is used extensively with herbs and aromatherapy. English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) yields an essential oil with sweet overtones, and can be used in balms, salves, perfumes, cosmetics, and topical applications. Lavandin, Lavandula × intermedia (also known as Dutch lavender), yields a similar essential oil, but with higher levels of terpenes including camphor, which add a sharper overtone to the fragrance. Mexican lavender, Lavandula stoechas, is not used medicinally, but mainly for landscaping.
Essential oil of lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.[citation needed] It was used in hospitals during World War I to disinfect floors and walls. These extracts are also used as fragrances for bath products.
According to folk wisdom, lavender has many uses. Infusions of lavender are believed to soothe insect bites, burns, and headaches. Bunches of lavender repel insects.[citation needed] In pillows, lavender seeds and flowers aid sleep and relaxation.[citation needed] An infusion of flowerheads added to a cup of boiling water soothes and relaxes at bedtime. Lavender oil (or extract of Lavender) heals acne when used diluted 1:10 with water, rosewater, or witch hazel; it also treats skin burns and inflammatory conditions.[citation needed]
A recent clinical study investigated anxiolytic effects and influence on sleep quality. Lavender oil with a high percentage of linalool and linalyl acetate, in the form of capsules, was generally well tolerated. It showed meaningful efficacy in alleviating anxiety and related sleep disturbances.[14]

Photos of me from each year I have been to Burning Man - I missed last year and am extra excited about going this year. The gates open in just a few hours but I wont be underway until very early Wednesday morning. I probably wont be able to get anything else posted before I leave but I should return with some awesome photos!
I'll be another year older when I return...but theres nothing like a birthday in the desert.
I hope everyone has a great week!!
Burning Man is an annual event held in the Black Rock Desert, in Northern Nevada. It takes its name from the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy on Saturday evening. The event is described by many participants as an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance. The event is open from the last Monday in August until Labor Day (the first Monday in September). The event is organized by Black Rock City, LLC. In 2008, 49,599 people participated in Burning Man.

Hello everyone! Once a year, I release what I call a Masterwork. Meaning, I spend much more time on it, than I would normally spend on an average artwork. The name of this piece is “Where God Lives”. If I where to define it, I would categorize it as a concept landscape scene. It is color rich, with a flavor of romanticism and a luminous atmosphere. I was careful to make sure it would give the viewer a feeling of piece and tranquility, with a spiritual overtone. I wanted it to also have color harmony, a balance between warm and cool colors. There is even an added feature in the scene, sort of an Easter Egg, if you will... What is an Easter Egg in regards to an image you ask, well, it is a term used by Video Gamer's, to describe a hidden message, image or a hidden feature in a game; sort of a bonus, so to speak. The Easter Egg in this artwork is incorporated as part of the image. I'd added for fun and interest. Here is a little hint, the hidden element I'd added is in reference to our creator, whom I do believe is always watching over us. So I'll let you figure that one out (what it is) and you're very welcome to comment here, discuss your ideas after searching the image. Anyway, I did want to create something that I would also love to look at; something I'd dreamed about. I imagined what a the path to heaven might possibly look like. A place with much distant light, vivid colors and feeling of magic. Do you believe my vision is all of those things? Let me know in your comments, thank you!

September always brings back memories of my school days. Some pleasant, but mostly not. For me school always had an overtone of confinement, or at least the loss of freedom and leisure time. That distinction was never harsher than in September when kids were ripped away from summer vacation and thrust back into the classroom. At some point shortly thereafter came school photo day. We were lined up in the auditorium where some poor photographer had setup his equipment. Each successive flash of light brought me closer to my moment in the chair. It was a virtual production line. No real attempt at coaxing out flattering poses. Just "poof" with the blinding flash and the call for the next person. Whatever happened in that 180th of a second seemed to define you for the entire year, and even beyond. Goofy expression, stupid shirt, or simply the awkwardness of youth would potentially haunt you for years to come. And then to have the photo memorialized in a yearbook for future generations. I wonder if schools even do this anymore. Maybe it's more freestyle with everyone just submitting smartphone selfies.
Anyway fast forward about 100 years to last month. I'm photographing people at a historical reenactment with everyone in period costume. While shooting some portraits a group of kids approached. My initial reaction was one of annoyance at the distraction. But then I noticed this incredible girl. It was as if she had stepped right out of the pages of a history book. Wasn't just the costume but something about her face. Her expression conveyed a sense of weariness one might expect in an adult. She looked like 12 going on 30. Her eyes seemed to stare right through me. I sat her down for a quick portrait as her mom looked on. It was over almost as quickly as my old school photo. But the result was much more meaningful. Later I realized I didn't even know her name.
India, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Cattle Market
👉...after our typical scrumptious South Indian breakfast with a crispy paper thin Rava Dosa, String-Idli with grated coconut, Uttapam & Appam, also called Hopper.
Sambhar with Curry Leafs, a vegetable stew & of course the 3 fresh grated coconut, red lentils & tomato chutneys
,…ready to hit the road again.
&…on the road again, ….behind a cattle express again; in the morning misty sunrise, the fresh air from the untouched nature surrounding us from both sides of the road, overtone the “fragrance” from the truck in front.
For our return journey from Kerala to Goa, we decided to take the small country roads through Tamil Nadu off the usual tourist tracks. On the way we saw some cattle transports, but the cattle on one truck looked different, so we listened to our gut feeling & drove blindly behind the truck. Each time a sure sign that we approaching a cattle market was the increasing amount of cattle on the road in both ways.
📌…Cattle markets are a centuries-old tradition of trading. Livestock farmers depend on these markets to buy and sell animals. Here, as in all other areas, there are intermediaries. Call them “Haravukaar”. They earn the benefits without the hassle of raising animals. The importance of the cattle market that existed in Kerala 30-40 years ago has disappeared today. Attitudes towards buying & selling cattle have changed. If you want a government subsidy, you have to buy cows as prescribed by the department, which is often from Tamil Nadu.
This Market is mainly for Zebus, but also other cattle, like the black Water Buffalo etc.
📍…The Zebu, a cow from tropical countries that can endure extremely hot summers, bred for milk & meat. In India, the zebu is considered sacred by the Hindus, for the farmers it is a first class working animal, it is mainly kept for its milk and the products derived from it.
Also are there Zebus crossed with Western breeds to increase milk production. As a result, one of its defining features is disappearing: the hump.
The zebu is a humpback cattle. It descends from ancestors of today's bovid breeds that were domesticated on the Indian peninsula 10,000 years ago. From there it came to Africa, Australia, Central America & Latin America, where it was kept intensively alongside other animals through successive selection.

The Hang is related to the Steeldrum from Trinidad and it is usually played with the hands and fingers instead of mallets. This lighter means of playing produces an overtone-rich sound that could be considered softer and warmer than the bright sound of a mallet-based traditional steelpan. It has a central note (called the “Ding”) and 7 or 8 tone circles around it. The bottom side of the Hang (called the “Gu”) can be played in a percussive way, similar to an Udu, or Ghatam drum.
If you want to know how the Hang sounds… check out this video:
