I remember when it was warm outside, quite sunny, walks in the woods provided lots to shoot, frogs jumped off of rocks just in front of you and the clouds provided interesting lighting and shade, sometimes when most needed. In closing I remember Spring and Summer provided light long past dinner time.
I remember too when my memory could always be relied upon and now I need always to proofread all of my writings.
For National Grammar Day that just happens to be today. A day to improve on your grammar, so there, their, they're.
Retracing my steps back up and along the cutting, I search for my missing lens amongst the broom bushes on the steep slope I had been standing on a few hours earlier to no avail. The missing lens must be at home...
The train comes, the shot is taken and I slide back down the cutting as had been done a few hours earlier. Halfway down the slope I find the lens and the battery in my path. It's been a good day!

I'm a member of the Chopin Society of Atlanta and, as their volunteer proofreader, get great seats to all their recitals. On October 24 we were delighted by a fabulous performance by Christopher O'Riley, and I took this shot before the recital began. It didn't come out the way I wanted it to, but I fiddled with it a bit to turn it into this abstract.

Does getting enjoyment out of destroying roses make me a bad person?
This was not going to be today's photo. I was going to do this tomorrow. Today was supposed to be nice and easy - I would finish my essays, Dad would go and get some gold glitter, I would spend perhaps twenty minutes photographing and forty minutes to an hour post processing, then I would go back and proofread the essays. But no. Because life does not work like that. It was raining outside, and too dark inside, so my glitter idea would not work. And I ended up hating everything I was writing and figured that an hours break to go and get glitter would do me some good. And then we ended up spending around three and a half to four hours in town. My back hurts and my eyes are tired and I am angry at the world for no reason. Other than the fact that nobody seems capable of driving properly at the correct speed and without indicating for no reason whatsoever today.
This signboard is in a yard on the way to our house from the freeway. The message is changed periodically. We still aren't sure of the owner's political leanings - sometimes seems liberal, sometimes conservative, sometimes a streak of libertarianism - but it's always a clever sign. On the back side it says, "never enough ..." and s/he adds a word. This week it's fishing.
This stately mansion, built in 1909 by John B. Headspeth for Francis H. Wagner, a freight agent for the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad, originally stood at 200 East 40th Street. Frank and Bettie Hamilton Woodburn bought the home in 1920 and it remained in the family until the 1970s. Bettie was the daughter of Jack Hamilton, a colorful Texas character: a friend of Lincoln and a Union sympathizer, forced to hide out and then leave Texas after secession; he returned as Governor appointed by President Andrew Jackson. Bettie Woodburn wrote and proofread many speeches for her father, a highly praised orator.
In 1978, the Hyde Park Baptist Church purchased the house, which was already zoned historic, and planned to move it out of the city. To Hyde Park, the house symbolized the neighborhood’s commitment to restoration and revitalization. After a year-long struggle, the church allowed George Boutwell to move the house to its present location at 4401 Avenue D.
The move saved the structure but negated its historic designation. Boutwell restored the exterior and rebuilt the porches. In 1980, he sold the house to Larry and Terry Smith, who helped him regain its historic designation as a City of Austin Historic Landmark.
The following owners, Herb and Sandra Dickson, continued with interior renovations and operated the house as a bed and breakfast. The Woodburn House features elements of Queen Anne and neo-
classical styles. It combines a late Victorian asymmetrical plan and a steeply pitched roof with a classical two-story wraparound gallery featuring Doric columns and turned balusters.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the Hyde Park Historic District includes an eclectic mixture of architectural styles, from late 19th-century Queen Anne and Classical Revival homes to 20th-century bungalows and ranch houses. Additionally, many of the houses and buildings in Hyde Park have been designated City of Austin Historic Landmarks and Texas Historic Landmarks.

On May 18th, 2017, the proof copy of my dad's PoW diaries arrived in the post. It was quite a moment to know that they would soon be published more than 70 years after he wrote them and that at last, with the invaluable help of a good friend, I had succeeded in fulfilling my father's own wishes.

after years of proofreading kids' writing, it becomes second nature to want to add punctuation ~grin~
I will keep this description somewhat brief (and likely not proofread) since I haven't been feeling great or sleeping well lately and it's now very late (not early) for me in LA.
This is a fairly long exposure shot high above downtown Los Angeles during the Academy Awards. I often choose the Hollywood Bowl Overlook when I'm desperate to shoot but don't have time to get to any of the beaches in time for the sunset. This spot is a quick 10 minute drive from my apartment and I never expected to live in such a large chaotic city and be so close to an amazing view.
While many of my photos from this overlook have a strong feeling of chaos since the lights are bright and flashing and there's constantly traffic, it's actually really peaceful from up here. Thinking about all my trips, I can't say I ever remember any traffic noises so I'll just say it's really quiet. I will say though that every time I'm here, I look down at the slow moving cars or at the few illuminated offices and apartment windows and wonder if anyone is ever looking back at me. It gets quiet enough that I will often look back over my shoulder--especially after dark--to see if anyone is nearby. There is one crazy homeless person who lives somewhere between the highway and the top (who i see on occasion) and I try not to engage in conversation. We had a conversation once and it got very odd very quickly.
I still get immense satisfaction capturing a memorable sunset at Venice or any of the other beaches I frequent but lately I've been spending an awful lot of time at this Overlook. If you've seen my instagram account, it feels like 2/3 of my posts from 2017 have been from here or a few hundred feet down the road. I try to pick a location before I leave but I still pause at the edge of the garage and wonder if I'd prefer to turn left and see this view (and the current sky) but no sunset in 10 minutes or turn right and drive 50 minutes to the closest beach and hope the sunset is worth it. In the last few months, my decision--more often than not--is to ditch my plans and just turn left :)

Ricky : "It's all about quality control! I don't want anyone getting any duds in their goodie bags! You'll be happy to know these have all been given my stamp of approval! Great job Christin and Andrew!!"
Me : "I'm going to have to put these donation boxes up much higher.. or maybe lock the spare room.."
Ricky : "Okay.. but if some wonky donation gets through, I'm not taking the blame.."
Me : "I think we'll be okay."

The strange sutra chanting and other peculiarities of esoteric rituals during New Year's Eve ceremony at the impressive Manpukuji, headquarters of the Obaku school of zen buddhism in Uji, south of Kyoto, can be explained at the light of this temple's Chinese origins. This short (but growing) set of photos will give you a slight idea. As usual, try first the slideshow.

I'm also behind on finishing Claudia's book on our Venetian holiday... I've done one for each grandchild - when they're 8 or9, they go on an Italian trip of their choosing with us.
As owner of the world's largest collection, and with thanks to scores of readers, let me pass along a bunch of these never-say-neverisms:
• Use the semicolon properly, always use it where it is appropriate; and never where it isn’t.
• Reserve the apostrophe for it’s proper use and omit it when its not needed.
• Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
• Avoid commas, that are not necessary.
• And don’t start a sentence with a conjunction.
• If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. :-)

This is the cover of a new jigsaw that’s waiting to be done. The ‘Up ‘ refers to the fact that I was up early today and the ‘Away’ refers to the reason which is that Huw was catching an early train to London today. I had prepared something for Macro Mondays, but because I have the house to myself, I intend cracking on with some proofreading instead. It's also cooler indoors 😎
Cassandra took me to this coffee shop today and I had what may have been the best fucking vanilla soy latte that I have ever had. (sorry at my Starbucks buddies)
The artwork inside was amazing, as well. Plus one of the guy's working had one AMAZING beard. I also got to see Michael today so that was amazing.
(and I'm proofreading this a really long time after posting it, realizing that I said amazing way too many times in a row)
I would have posted this on Palindrome Day (01-02-2010) but I was busy and not in my home, and when I was in my home and able to upload I forgot to because I was watching Inglourious Basterds with Cassandra.
(:
That's my life for you.
Into the Light - Day 58 - Year 2022
---------------------------------------------------
Visited my favorite candy store today - "Munson's" on route 6 in Bolton, CT - getting a tasty gift for my sis-in-law and saw this display mounted on the wall next to all the delectable sweets.
-----------------------
The first candy came to America in the early 18th century from Britain and France. Only a few of the early colonists were proficient in sugar work and were able to provide the sugary treats for the very wealthy. Rock candy, made from crystallized sugar, was the simplest form of candy, but even this basic form of sugar was considered a luxury and was only attainable by the rich.
Then came the Industrial Revolution.
The candy business underwent major changes in the 1830s when technological advanced and the availability of sugar opened up the market. The new market was not only for the enjoyment of the rich but also for the pleasure of the working class. There was also an increasing market for children. While some fine confectioners remained, the candy store became a staple of the child of the American working class. Penny candy became the first material good that children spent their own money on.
In 1847, the invention of the candy press allowed manufacturers to produce multiple shapes and sizes of candy at once.
More fun facts about candy:
www.candyfavorites.com/shop/history-american-candy.php
------------------------
The brass plate on the wall over the rollers reads:
"Drop Roller"
This machine uses changable
rollers to produce hard candy.
A sheet of candy was cooled
to perfect consistency and
fed through these rollers to
make items like "Lemon Drops".
- Circa 1859 -
The maker of this plate could have used a proofreader as there is no such word as 'changable', it is 'changeable'. No intention to be picky about a misspelled word, but, someone dropped the ball and I noticed. Was a graphic designer for 45 years and a misspelled word on anything commercially printed is mortifying, for the designer and the business that provided the product, as well as costly. Surprised no one noticed.
I have avoided learning how to do these pano's for a while now. 12 e'mails to my e'mail a friends support center and two hours later I got a 4 shot pano stitched. Of course this isn't the one because I still have to tweak that one but it was a beautiful start to a new beginning. Thank goodness it's almost Friday, was up waaaaay past my bedtime last night and I learned that I have to spend extra time proofreading my comments.
Finally had the time to work on my little side projects like Swan. A total shift from my Marchetti work. Hope you guys like it! and thanks to my friend Miyuki for proofreading and this concept--
I have no idea if she set me up. I can't read japanese.
A combination of too many papers to edit / proofread, too much time in the basement struggling with drywall and too long without Mrs. N (She comes back next week), had "the black dog" growling and threatening to "bite". The only cure for me is to get out into nature, so I took myself off to Crook's Hollow this morning and took a slow exposure of the water at one of my favourite spots. By the time I had finished shooting the "dog" was back in its "kennel".

I've been a very bad blogger. I haven't posted anything in about a week. Normally I post daily, but in the past couple months I've had to slow down because of the ebook, which has been taking up a good portion of my time from my blog. But the good news is, it's almost done! I'm now working on the last couple of pages of the final chapter. So far I'm on schedule, but I'm not sure how long it's gonna take to proofread an edit the final copy. I will announce the release of the book in the monthly newlstter. Sign up for the newsletter if you haven't already done so to get the latest update.
As for this photo, I did a few things different. Instead of the normal three exposures, I used only 2. And instead of using Detail Enhancer, I used Exposure Fusion for tone mapping. But the secret to this photo wasn't in Photomatix, it was in Photoshop. I used shadow/highlights to bring out the detail in the pier and foreground. I also used my normal Photoshop processing techniques to put in the finishing touches. I discuss all this in more detail within the ebook.

The text for my new book about Ken'ts Wild Orchid is finished! The manuscript just needs to be sent off for proof reading tomorrow and a little bit of peer review and feedback. Once this is done the next step forward is to sort out the illustrations and the layout will be finalised. However, new camera, new macro lens, there may be a need for a few better images of some of the orchids this year. So next steps.....
This picture is part of my photographic series "Marthe de Montlaur", which I invite you to consult in the list of my albums.
You will find the script in the album header, and by consulting the shots in their chronological order, you can relive one of the episodes in the history of the Montlaur castle, through the changing moods conveyed by the portraits.
The local council have splashed a lot of cash doing up the seaside shelters in the past year. I don't even like to think how much someone charged them to put sayings and poems etc on the windows in the Victorian seaside shelters, and large letters on the pier etc saying rather innocuous things like "Float".
I liked this particular saying, but they really should have hired a proofreader first.
if you any words out :-)

The meowing in the background is Raphael. He often comes running if he knows I'm giving Josie attention, he doesn't want to miss out ever!
I apologise for not being on flickr much, I have a shoulder sprain and it's taking it's time to heal.
I am also finalising a book I have written, I am getting it ready for an appraisal first maybe, and then editing. I haven't made up my mind yet. I need to speak to a few more editors. I have only found one in this town, and she is a journalist, a historian, and a humanitarian. She has 30years experience in writing, and she seems perfectly suitable, but she won't edit it until she's done an appraisal on it, and then she decides whether or not she is willing to edit it. The appraisal will cost $500AU. The next closest editor is 100km away. I need to do more homework on this lady first, but from speaking with her, and seeing her public profile, she has won my confidence to pay for her appraisal. I am keen to publish it even if she rejects it, so I am not sure if I want to spend the money on an appraisal, and maybe just go straight into editing with someone else. But the appraisal may well give me guidance to change things before having it edited and published. The fact she is a historian has really impressed me.That will help me a lot. If she is happy to edit it, she gives me a package deal on editing, proofreading, illustrating and printing. If she's not happy to edit it, I need to get it edited elsewhere, but she will print it for me as a self published work if I want. She has setup her practice to support the local regional community to self publish their work. I couldn't really ask for anything more.
