“The darkness that surrounds us cannot hurt us. It is the darkness in your own heart you should fear.” — Silvertris

 

Hi everyone... I want to give your wonderful guys and gals an update... although I still struggle with chronic pain on a daily basis, some days are better than others. I still cannot shoot like I was used to... stooping, bending over, sitting on the ground, etc as is necessary to shoot macro, still isn't possible for me. For now, I must be content to (re)edit and (re)publish shots in my archives.

 

If you are in a position to help, I have setup an account to accept donations, even as little as the price of a coffee. Anything would be greatly appreciated. See my "About" page on Flickr for the link. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

~~~ Thank you all for viewing, kind comments, favs and awards - much appreciated! ~~~

I took this shot last spring at an Easter egg hunt at a tulip farm. I processed it in Photoshop with two of my own textures

 

For good Flickr buddies New Yorkled and m dee, who just couldn't leave me alone in my own little macro world and had to drag me screaming and shouting back to the water!

 

I'm grateful, bokeh and happy Wednesdays just ain't my kinda thang!

 

So, Mac, Luis, here's hoping y'all like this shot created with my bucket and spade and a good ole pile of Samui sand (but shot on my D80, and over 12 months ago ;-D

Black Sea Coast. Abkhazia.

Oh, look, London again! I both like and dislike London. It's usually far too busy for me and it's a bit of a pain to get to (I don't manage well on public transport). At the same time, when I catch it during a quiet night, it's a beautiful, exciting place. This was one of those nights, a very calm and cool time with one the odd person passing by - bliss.

 

I didn't notice the lady standing alone on the little dock until I got home. I wonder if she took a photograph looking our way and was surprised to see us. Who knows!

“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences”

 

— Audre Lorde —

  

We each have our own journey,

Our own dreams,

Our own past,

Our own style

We can celebrate our differences

And still cheer each other on.

You and I may be different

But we are beautiful in our own unique ways.

What happens if a photographer discovers and develops his own style and starts repeating technique and motives? Is it becoming boring or does the work gain more depth? You find a new article with reflections about photographic style on the website.

When It All Falls Down.

 

The darkness tries taking over me at night

 

I’m not afraid anymore

I walked through the fire and I made it, I made it.

Got myself up off the floor

I was locked in a cage of my own damn state of mind

 

Depression don’t you call

Depression don’t you call

You’ll get a busy tone

 

The darkness tries takin over me at night

‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.

Yeah

When it all falls

 

I’m not ashamed anymore

When my light fades away, I won’t fake it, won’t fake it

Cause now I know I’m not alone

Everybody got their own shit, bad days, pain to face

 

Depression makes you small

Until you see you’re powerful

 

The darkness tries takin over me at night

‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.

Yeah

 

The darkness tries takin over me at night

‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.

Yeah

When it all falls down.

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

― Brené Brown

 

Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with my sister and we were discussing why we didn't go to our High School reunions and they were for the opposite reasons. I didn't want to go because I didn't like who I was in High School. It's funny how you can look at someone and see so many wonderful traits that they themselves may miss. Remember this when thinking of your shortcomings and flaws, most people won't see those, they will see the good. Be brave, own your truth and be a beacon for others.

Love Many, Trust Few, and Always Paddle Your Own Canoe ...

 

When I saw this little lily pad flower bobbling on a large leaf in a remote Alaskan lake - it reminded me of the above quote, that happens to be one of my favorite's.

Every year for Christmas, our tour operator for South Africa trips sends these lovely handmade bead figurines to their customers. I already own an elephant, a rhino and a zebra. Yesterday this cute buffalo arrived.

I stupidly against my own better judgement decided to change lenses after a photoshoot here just as we were walking away from here but I couldn't drag myself away from the ever changing sky. I was saying to Jonathan "just give me another minute " over and over lol. What I didn't know was the sensor had got covered in dust when I changed lenses, as although I held everything close to my body it was blowing a hooley. This shot took weeks to clone out the dust spots and I was ready to scrap it but occasionally removed them after months of painstaking work and even then cropped this to 16.9 from the height but it saved it hitting the bin. Of course this wasn't the only shot that suffered but I only have so much patience. Jon and I successfully cleaned the sensor using a marvelous kit called Dust Aid which is described as a kit for dslrs but further investigation lead to reading it and we found it can in fact be used on mirrorless and we have cleaned a sony A7RM3 since then too...Sue :)

This is the camera owned by Walker Evans exhibited at the George Eastman (Kodak Museum). Last weekend when I went to the Art Institute, I overheard a conversation in the photography section of the museum about how it's difficult to find the balance between being in the moment and capturing the moment. I think this is even more true now that photography is increasingly accessible to everyone. However, it was my first true love when I turned 16 and more interesting that any of my first dates. Photography gave me a way to take some of my inside ideas and big emotions and show them on the outside when I was frustrated by drawing and painting and how bad at it I was. I spent many long hours in the dark room of my high school, hiding out from the whole world and experimenting with multiple exposures. My favorite thing about my high school (and one of the only good things) was unlimited clay for my sculptures and unlimited film and paper....which, was truly incredible looking back on it.

HBM! It was sunny but cold and I took a brisk walk in the Humber Bay Park. Looking out at the Mimico Creek Estuary and wetlands. I felt so energized when I returned home.

"Hey

I own the night and I don't need no help

Gotta be the feeling that Scarface player

Stuntin' go wild can't handle this plan

Life of the club arrogant like, yeah

Top like money all the girls just melt

Want so many all know me like Twelve

Look like cash and they all just stare

Bottles, Models, standin' on chairs

Fall out cause that's the business

All out it's so ridiculous

Zone out so much attention

Scream out I'm in the building (hey)

They watchin' I know this

I'm rockin' I'm rolling

I'm holding, I know it

You know it

 

You know I know how

To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out

The club can't even handle me right now

Watchin' you watchin' me I go all out

The club can't even handle me right now

The club can't even handle me right now"
