"I could stay there for a lifetime"
Better days with brighter sunshines are coming. Everyone's "Woohoo !" !
- This title also tries to make a comparison between the ephemeral poppies, and our human condition, which is ephemeral as well, but in another way(s)... -
This afternoon, i came back home earlier than usual. After two fruitless hours in front off my tv, i decided to look out the window.
The weather was cloudy and we almost couldn't see the sun. I had to wait before going outside with my camera.
And there was not much to do inside. Actually i didn't really check out what i could do because i wanted to breathe some refreshing and sunny air, and maybe to take some pictures as well...
But i hoped this was not going to last long.
Twenty minutes later, without asking myself more questions, i opened the door and jumped outside.
Sometimes you easily become aware of things, habits you'd always like to live with... Your will can change everything without a lot of efforts.
I decided to ride my bike if ever the clouds would have liked to wring themselves.
Though despite that i put rain clothes into my bag, nothing happened.
In fact, i couldn't know that the bad weather that persisted this entire week was going to change into a beautiful and sunny afternoon allowing me to find my smile back.
At that moment of the day, when the sun suddenly appeared from behind the clouds now disapearing, i found a wheat field full of poppies. The first one this year !
I couldn't even dream of it !
The horizon was immense, i couldn't see anything but wheat, and wheat, and poppies... And the sun was wonderfully reflecting on the wheat dancing with the wind... The sun was not so hot on my skin, and sometimes the wind was a little cold. But it was an intense feeling, only the fact of being here, lost in the immensity.
I could stay there for a lifeftime.
I only stayed two hours, or more. I don't know. In fact i don't even remember.
I was feeling alive for the very first time this year :D

POR FAVOR, DÉJAME QUE ME PRESENTE
SOY UN HOMBRE DE RIQUEZAS Y BUEN GUSTO
ANDO RODANDO DESDE HACE MUCHOS , MUCHOS AÑOS
HE ROBADO EL ALMA Y LA FE DE MUCHOS HOMBRES.
YO ESTABA ALLÍ CUANDO JESUCRISTO TUVO SU MOMENTO DE DUDA Y DOLOR
Y ME ASEGURE POR LOS INFIERNOS QUE PILATOS SE LAVARA LAS MANOS Y SELLARA SU DESTINO.
ENCANTADO DE CONOCERTE
ESPERO QUE SEPAS MI NOMBRE.....................
Con el nuevo AVE Madrid-Valencia no sé yo si mi querido regional seguirá iluminándome las noches de insomnio...
Me imagino este puente con estas vías llenas de matojos en breve.
Feliz fin de semana!

J'étais obligé d'être spectateur de ce déhanchement inouï; d'assister à l'alliage forcé de ces deux êtres, dont un abîme incommensurable séparait les natures diverses...

A close up of a Whooper Swan that I took on the outskirts of Reykjavik. I was taken to see them by my contact Helgi, they were very used to his visits so I got to view them at very close quarters
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

We don't need no stinkin' ghost town! We've got Jeff. Jeff found this place on a scouting trip a few days before the workshop and took Ken and me there as part of a private tour that he took us on.
Jeff lent me his circular polarizer for this shot, since I thought I had left mine at home, and I could tell as soon as I looked through the viewfinder that it made a tremendous difference. Turns out my polarizer was in my camera bag all along, I just failed to look in one of the pockets.

The wispy seed heads of the Pasque Flower are attractive in their own right.
[...], another common name for Pasque flower (or "Pasqueflower") is "Easter flower." Pasque is the Old French spelling for "Easter," and it is around that time of year that the plant blooms, in some regions. According to Botanical.com, the famous herbalist, John Gerard, "informs us that he himself was 'moved to name' this the Pasque Flower, or Easter Flower, because of the time of its appearance, it being in bloom from April to June."

Hello flickr, how have you been?
Thank you all for the well-wishes and emails during my absence. I'm fine, I've just been lazy. I needed to check out for a while, and I did just that. It's likely I won't be around as much in the near future: its winter and I seem to lose a lot of motivation. I have a hard time finding the beauty in things when I can't feel my toes and its dark @ 4:30pm. I'm still trying to shoot and I've got lots of archive stuff (see above) so I don't think I'll be going dormant. A photo a day seems like a bit of a stretch though.
Photographically speaking, 2009 was a pretty amazing year for me. Much of my success is due to the amazing network of contacts and friends I've developed here. Your commentary and criticism is fantastic, your work is inspiring. All of you drive me is some way to become a better storyteller through photos. You all rock, I really can't thank you enough.
So, Happy (much belated) New Year. I wish you the very best in 2010, I cant wait to see what you have to show in the coming year!
Lower Broadway, Aug 2008 - 04
This was taken from the north side of Broadway at Howard Street, looking south; I thought the young woman made an interesting silhouette as she sat by herself.
I had to look, back and forth, several times at this picture and the previous one, to convince myself that it really is the same young woman. The couple previously sitting to her left has disappeared, and the lower background immediately behind her doesn't really look quite the same. But the other details -- shirt, haircut, purse, etc. -- are the same. And besides, I was there.
In any case, I think this is the more interesting of the two pictures.
Notwithstanding my own opinions on the topic, this photo was published in an April 8, 2009 blog titled "Woody Allen vs. American Apparel.." It was also published in a March 3, 2011 blog titled "Check out the upcoming Gender, Sexuality, and Urban Spaces Conference Mar. 11-13!"
Moving into 2012, the photo was published in an Oct 24, 2012 blog titled "American Apparel opens biggest international store in Beijing." It was also published in an undated (late Oct 2012) blog titled "17 Interesting Pictures of Billboards."
Moving into 2014, the photo was published in a May 18, 2014 blog titled "Women in Three Dimensions."
Moving into 2015, the photo was published in a Feb 23, 2015 blog titled "THE PROBLEM WITH SEXUAL INEQUALITY AT EVERY LEVEL."
**********************************
On a bright, sunny Wednesday afternoon, I ventured down to 23rd Street and 6th Avenue to drop off my laptop computer for a repair job. Afterwards, I thought I would walk over to Broadway and stroll up the street to see if I could find some interesting pictures; and then I got the crazy idea to take a cab down to the very end of Broadway -- near the Staten Island Ferry -- and walk all the way up Broadway to my neighborhood on 96th Street.
But then I decided that Broadway probably wouldn't be very interesting until I reached Canal Street ... so I had the cab-driver drop me off there, and began my walk northward. Who knows how far I would have gotten if I hadn't been distracted by a lively farmer's market in Union Square -- on 14th Street? Anyway, there's much more of Broadway to cover, and if I have the time and energy over the next few months, perhaps I will cover the entire length of this longest street in New York City, which extends all the way through Manhattan, Bronx, and into Yonkers...
This is a good example to show how cold it was in the mornings...
We got up early to rent snowshoes for some back country hiking. There were only 10 pairs available in total, so we had to get there early enough to grab some...
On the way to the trailhead, we saw a tree out in a snowfield glowing bright white. We slowed down and eventually parked the car. It was a tree covered in ice crystals. It looked absolutely beautiful. I had to get close to take pictures, but on the first step trying to reach it, my foot sunk deep into the snow.
That's where the snowshoes came inn... I have never tried it before, so I was awkwardly strapping those things on to my feet and started wading into the snow. I still sunk in a little bit, but it was much more comfortable.
The tree was amazing. It was radiating light from the early morning sun. I took a couple of pictures from different angles. This one I liked the best, because you can see the snow field sparkling in the background. I really like how the background is out of focus and it almost looks like snowflakes are falling.
All the crystals were gone when we drove past the tree again later in the day. I think they only lasted for a brief moment before the sun melted them away.

Lastnight I went to see the Golden Compass. Oh My what a fantastic movie! The Polar Bear king scenes were awesome. All the people in this world have animals as their demons ( if their demon dies they die..it holds their soul).
This was such a cool movie there is no swearing, and yes there is a little violence expecially the Polar bear King fight,,,oh it was so cool but the lead charecter Lyra rocked. What a brave little girl to take on this role her name is Dakota and she was brilliant. If you haven't seen it it is a must. The beauty of this movie never ended! Oh and I would take kids that were a little older beacuse it does get a little scary. 8 and up.Just my opinion.
So now you know what I saw last night.
i am rhythm
i am a pulse
sometimes simple
sometimes interlocked
sometimes syncopated
i am rhythm
sometimes moderato
sometimes allegro
sometimes simply at rest
i am rhythm
feel my beat
experience my motion
then take my hand
and come, dance with me
This one is for ARNEL aka LENAREH, Pinoy Kodakero's poet laureate. Perhaps what I appreciate more about Arnel is his ability to see the lighter side of life. I truly enjoy the simplicity of his view on life as expressed in many of his images. I have enjoyed his “can you guess” posts, his blue sky set, his food and sari-sari shots. His stream is full of treasures which can certainly make you smile. And Arnel is generous. He almost always never leave my stream without a few simple verses of encouragement, sometimes of humor. I feel honored to be his friend and godmother to his young son, Nico. And I am looking forward to meeting him and his family in person and spend some time exploring and shooting some of the beautiful places in the Philippines in October.
I must say I love this girl right here more than anyone could ever know. She has the sweetest heart of any person I have ever met. She is not only gorgeous, but loving and giving. I miss her dearly as she lives 800 miles from me. I wanted to take a pic of her on my quick trip home. I sort of forgot about it until the light was gone, but we headed out to a park and I snapped off a few. I love you Mae Mae!!
Funny how everyone says we look so much alike, when neither of us really see it. We are so very very different in everything.

I found my tripod today :) L A R G E This was shot while standing in my front doorway - with a telephoto lens. This made Explore :) Thanks for the inspiration Gary (see comment below in Update).
This was actually an experiment...I have a hard time getting a sharp focus on objects far away after dark even when using a remote; however, I have not shot using "mirror up" and need to try that. I'm also aware both my camera and lens need major cleaning. Night shots are tricky...I was hoping to get the stars but...have not figured out how to get the mountain showing which will be in complete darkness by then and the stars. I have recently seen some photos on flickr recently that have me puzzled...showing Mt. Hood during sunset and all peachy orange but also showing stars even though it was shot at 7:38 pm which it is completely dark by then. I have an inquiring mind and really would love to know how that was done.
Update: I sent the photographer an email about that photo and he responded! He was very nice and explained how he did it and the photo is not HDR. His name is Gary Randall. Check out his work - exceptional images. I'm sure you will immediately recognize the photo I am in awe over - plus it was Front Page on Explore.

Sau những gì đã qua tôi nhận ra: “Tình yêu chỉ có một, nhưng thứ na ná tình yêu thì có rất nhiều". không phải ai may mắn cũng tìm được tình yêu thật sự của mình trong cuộc đời chỉ sau 1 vài lần gặp gỡ, không phải ai cũng thấm thía tình yêu thật sự chỉ sau 1 cuộc tình....Tôi đã nhận ra, điều mà mình cần ở anh, người đàn ông mang đến cho tôi đầy đủ những cảm xúc yêu thương nhất vì những điều giản dị nhất....
Và đơn giản, em nghĩ đến anh,vì anh là ANH thôi....

Os pido también que prestéis especial atención a esta cita porque me parece buenísima:
En 1930 Ansel Adams se estaba formando como pianista cuando empezó a considerar su carrera como fotógrafo. Tras ver unas fotografías de Paul Stand decidió que la cámara y no el piano, regiría su destino.
Tanto su madre como su tía le aconsejaron:
-”No dejes el piano. La cámara no puede expresar el alma humana”
A lo que Ansel respondió:
-”Es cierto, la cámara no puede, pero el fotógrafo sí”.

one recently weekend afternoon, i happened to drive around downtown after a quick coffee break with my sister. somehow, i drove through this freeway overpass. i came down my car with tripod and a 10 stop filter... thinking some long exposure sunset shoots would be nice....
but when i saw all these cars and peole heading different directions to their own way, all the sudden, i felt like a headless chicken (aka - KFC :P). not feeling like to set up anything, not inspiring. i then point & shoot a few single exposures and headed back to pick up my son.
have you had one of those blurr moment before, just don't feel like to shoot anything? bleh bleh... bleh bleh bleh....
Two vertically shifted images shot with the 24mm TS-E lens, stitched.
Each image shot with the new Formatt Hitech Filters Firecrest 16 stops IRND filters, no stacking.
Exposure time: 241 seconds for each image @f/8.0
The next photos in my Visual Acoustics architecture series will all be shot with the new Formatt-Hitech Firecrest 16 stops IRND filters. Why? I already wrote a review on that a few weeks ago on my blog, and I can tell you again that there’s no colour cast at all, not even when shooting in poor light conditions and that the accuracy is very high and that there’s no vignetting with the circular filters, simply because they’re so thin and you don’t need to stack, but I’m not going to say that again. Just look at all the other reviews by independent photographers or read my review here or convince yourself. And if you're interested in how to create images like this, then all this is explained on my website and also in my book that you can find on my website.
=======================================================
When I was shooting this, my friend said he could see what I'll make of it.... I hope this doesn't fall short of what he expected me to do...
and BTW, for those of you who have been unfortunate enough to see the previous upload, this is the storm that I was talking about.. hehe... :P :D
This is going straight to my portfolio coz this defines me as a photographer and the kind of work I like.
Hope you all like this....
And yes, I'm so touched by all your comments/faves/views on my stream, I read them over and over again inspite of the training that has me running most of the time....
I dedicate this to Ambuj Bhaiya, the one who believed in me so much that he bought and sent me the SLR that I wanted from Japan (My KissX2) inspite of me repeatedly saying "No, That'll be too much." and to Papa, who said, "Go, touch your dream. I'll take care."
I could have done this at the time when I posted my first shot from the SLR. But I was waiting for The photograph that could do what it was supposed to.
Love

Música : Eres para mi la más bella del mundo
Sabes que para todos no serás el mundo
Pero siempre habrá alguien que para él o ella seas todo su mundo,…
El centro de su universo…
Aquél o aquella que sentirás que te mima y cuida
Que te hará sentir especial y diferente….
Distinto o distinta…..único…única.
Y que te exhibirá orgulloso u orgullosa de ti ante todos...
Y , de repente…
Nos hará sentir ser el más bello centro del bouquet de su vida
Y sin necesidad de preguntas...
Sin necesidad de respuestas.…
Así nos querremos, también,...Tú y Yo.

I realised that the proper soundtrack of this image is any song of the mytical and fantastic White Album of The Beatles
E dimmi a che serve sperare
se piove e non senti dolore
come questa mia pelle che muore
che cambia colore
che cambia l’odore
Tu dimmi poi che senso ha ora piangere
piangere addosso a me
che non so difendere questa mia brutta pelle
così sporca
tanto sporca
com'è sporca
questa pioggia sporca .....

Comment:
Between 6th and 7th Street there is a small area that is infested with drug dealers and gang members. I was told many times not to walk in that area. You think I listened? Well, whilst in that area I came across this man. He has caused quite a commotion amongst you. It was a hot day…brilliant sunshine but he was sat in the shade….back resting against a wall. I approached and asked if he minded me sitting next to him for a while. He said no…so I parked my ass down on the curbside. He asked me what I was doing with my cameras and I explained I was a crazy Englishman who didn’t value his life. He laughed of course, which was beautiful to see because I have never seen a face as sad in all my life. I gave him a cigarette. In fact I gave him the whole pack. I went on to explain how I took pictures of homeless people and shared them online. He smiled again. I wondered what I said that was so funny. He went on to explain that there are MANY photographers who go down to that area but in the majority of cases they hang their lenses out of the car window and never get out. “That’s fucking wrong” he retorted. I nodded my head and asked would he mind me taking his picture. “Of course not…you asked” he replied.
We talked some more. Mostly about shit that doesn’t matter but for those few hours or so…it kinda did….you know….
El monasterio benedictino de Ripoll fue fundado por el conde Guifré el Pilós en el año 879. El 20 de abril del año 888 el monasterio de Ripoll fue solemnemente consagrado y dedicado a Santa María.
La creciente importancia del monasterio de Ripoll como centro cultural, con biblioteca,scriptorium y escuela monástica medieval, motivó sucesivas ampliaciones del edificio, siendo la efectuada por el abad Oliba (1008-1046) la que conformaría sus formas definitivas : 60 por 40 metros en un edificio petreo de formas austeras y macizas, de cinco naves, con un cuerpo de edificio delantero encima del cual se levantaron dos torres de campanarios y en la parte posterior un grandioso transepto coronado por un ábside central y tres absidiolos a cada lado.
El templo ha sufrido diversas restauraciones. En especial la realizada tras el terremoto de 1428 y la de 1830 que redujo a tres las cinco naves originales.Las dimensiones de la nave principal son las originales : 60 m. de largo por 9 de ancho. En el crucero y en los muros de la nave central se hallan las tumbas de muchos delos condes de Besalú y Barcelona como Guifré el Pelós, Ramon Berenguer III y IV.
La obra principal del monasterio y de la escultura románica de Catalunya, es la portada del siglo XII. Se divide en siete franjas horizontales donde se representan escenas bíblicas, históricas y alegóricas. La rica iconografía combina los grupos temáticos entre motivos florales de gran exuberancia y ornamentaciones de líneas geométricas, sin ningún lugar en que el cincel no se haya dejado sentir.A ambos lados del portal están las imágenes mutiladas de San Pedro y San Pablo.
El claustro del templo consta de dos pisos. Fué iniciado en siglo XII, quedando paralizada la construcción hasta fines del siglo XIV. La galería superior quedó completada en el siglo XVI. Tiene forma trapezoidal y consta de 112 arcos semicirculares y 252 columnas de capiteles esculpidos con motivos religiosos, mitológicos y populares.

The weather was extremely cold, especially when we got up at 5 to catch the sunrise; like here at Mesa Arch.
There are a ton more pictures in the works...
