FMS photo a day July 29th 2013 - Perspective - Rusty old bike, couldn't decide between the 2 pics so using them both
Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and my daughter Hannah.
What a stunningly beautiful park----we will be back to camp in the future!
This was a picnic area that we had to ourselves on a recent visit. I enjoy
the fall season, as the temperatures get cooler and there are far less
people out in our park lands. I suppose that I am selfish for solitude :)

So why do people train in martial arts? From many perspectives, it just doesn't make sense.
A few weeks ago I was at bjj class grappling with the fellow pictured here. He had me in mount (basically sitting on my chest), he was working on getting an arm free and and his chest pressed down on top of my face. I was trying to work towards pulling a leg down so I could get half guard, but it wasn't working very well. I had turned my head to the side so I could breath, and his sweat was running into my ear. Before I could get halfguard he pulled one of my arms around my own neck and used it as a lever to turn me over on my back. Then he got an arm under my throat and choked me until I tapped out. It was not fun. It hurt, it was gross, it was tiring and I would never, ever want to be in that position again.
But here's the strange thing: I came back to class the next week. In fact, I've been going back to class for over a year now.
A few years ago a friend broke my nose while we were fighting. She was very sorry, but I told her not to worry about it, because when you train to fight you have to just accept that you're going to get hurt.
Just a few minutes ago I had to take off my shirt, and it hurt because of an injury I sustained last week while training with my brother.
So why on earth do we do this? Why would anybody willingly put themselves through this kind of stuff for years and years? I mean, if noobs did it, not knowing what to expect, it'd be one thing. But I (and many other people) know full well what martial arts training is like. Why do we do it?
I've got some thoughts myself, but I'm interested in hearing y'alls opinions first.

Another test of my new D700, and also my new lens 14-24 f/2.8, a building on the shore of the lake with extreme perspective, I think it looks cool like this!
5/24/2014 - I was looking for a different forced perspective image and I came across a penny and quarter. The image was for a math site, trying figure out the distance between the two. I decided to go with a Kennedy Half Dollar, Nickel, Quarter, and Dollar.
Feeling better this morning than I have in a while, I went for a walk around the neighbourhood and added some shots to the 100x project with suburban landscapes.
For landscape shots I usually use a high f-stop (8-13) for wide depth of field. Here the rosebush suggested a foreground focus and low f-stop, while the strong perspective lines of the fence draw the eye into the distance. It's a clash for attention, and I don't know how well it works. Maybe the soft focus on the background disqualifies this as a landscape photo, strictly speaking, but I'm making my own rules. The rose is at home in this place. Its fragrance reminded me of the red climbing rose that grew on the split rail fence in my mother's rural garden.

I found a really cool, mass perspective picture of the TV Batmobile I had to try to draw. It was an exercise in mass perspective and highlighting with glare, reflection and so on. I was pleased with the result.

The students and teachers of Perspectives Middle Academy (located in Auburn Gresham) are making tremendous academic and social emotional learning growth. Just this past year SY 2013-2014, they made almost two (2) grade levels of growth in both math and reading.

Two Seattle Icons: The 1962 Space Needle and Chief Seattle, the Duwamish leader for whom the city was named. While eating lunch in a little Thai restaurant in Tillicum Square, I looked out the window to see the juxtaposition of these icons as in the photo on the left. I tried a few different POV's when I went back outside, and the photo on the right was the most successful.
Chief Seattle, born in the late 1700's, was a warrior, orator and statesman. He is perhaps best known for his 1854 speech when the land on which Seattle is located was purchased by the US government. At the time, a sketchy translation was made from the original Lushootseed language into Chinook jargon (the limited trade language of the area); several years later it was translated into very flowery English. A fictionalized version of his speech was written by screenwriter Ted Perry for the 1972 movie "Home." No one knows exactly what he really said, but the movie version presents a passionate and much-loved environmental plea, an excerpt of which is quoted below:
"The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of the earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect. All are holy in the memory and experience of my people ..... The shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water, but the blood of our ancestors. If we sell you our land, you must remember that it is sacred. Each glossy reflection in the clear waters of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father. The rivers are our brothers. They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give the rivers the kindness that you would give any brother. If we sell you our land, remember that the air is precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life that it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also received his last sigh. The wind also gives our children the spirit of life. So if we sell our land, you must keep it apart and sacred, as a place where man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow flowers. Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."
Sometimes the best way to see the flaws in an image is to examine its
negative...
What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, following
the debate, including a three month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage
daughter?
What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his college
graduating class?
What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?
What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while
he was still married?
What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain
killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five
were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major
political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early
1990s.)
What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?
What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?
What if Obama was the one who was known to publicly display a serious anger management problem?
What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer
distribution?
You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected a reality,
if the tables were turned, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as
they are?
This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes
qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative characteristics in another when there is a color difference.
And, think of this - the candidates' educational backgrounds:
Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in
International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899
Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism?
Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in
the land as well as our standing in the world.
