Close your eyes and imagine you have not seen ever since the world and yourself. You will not have an idea with what it looks like when you only feel it. Eyes are very important for a photographer. Without it, a photographer won't be able to see the beauty of this wonderful world. Eyes are the windows of the soul. Without eyes, the five basic senses would not be complete. Therefore, when the images become blurry, we need to hit the red panic button and see an Ophthalmologist to ensure proper vision so that we can continue taking stunning photographs.

The big monster camera man (me) approaches this Limpkin chick.
Top left photo shows the chick standing by her mom.
Then I approached closer (next photo to its right), the chick and mom hit the panic button, the mom started moving and putting distance between me and her.
Then the chick races with mom in panic as shown (top right photo). Mom is now trying to play cool and look like she did not want to panic her baby any more than the baby was.
Then the mom suddenly stopped and the chick (at the lower left photo) stopped by mom. Her protector is right there. And sat there for a moment to cool down her baby.
Mom started walking slowly and the baby did too. And now at few feet further than they were to me (lower mid photo) and they stopped to check if I am moving.
Mom looked back and the chick look back (lower right photo). The cutest look ever by the chick... Well the monster camera man is moving on and the chick and mom can breath relief.
What mom would do for their young ones!!

Some Hollywood stars were much more popular in Europe than at home. A fabulous example is sweet Jayne Mansfield (1933-1967), one of Hollywood's original platinum blonde bombshells. Although most of her American films did not do much at the European box offices, Jayne was a sensation whenever she came to Europe to promote her films. During the 1960s, when Hollywood lost interest in her, Jayne continued to appear cheerfully in several European films.
Jayne Mansfield was born Vera Jayne Palmer in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, in 1933. She was the only child of Herbert William, a successful attorney of German ancestry, and Vera Jeffrey Palmer of English descent. While attending the University of Texas at Austin, Mansfield won several beauty contests. However, her prominent breasts were considered problematic and led to her losing her first professional assignment—an advertising campaign for General Electric. A natural brunette, Mansfield had her hair bleached and coloured platinum blonde when she moved to Los Angeles. She posed nude for the February 1955 issue of Playboy, modelling in pyjamas raised so that the bottoms of her breasts showed. This helped launch Mansfield's career, and that year, she became a major Broadway star as Marilyn Monroe-like actress Rita Marlowe in the Broadway version of George Axelrod's play 'Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?' This role won her a contract at 20th Century Fox. The following year, she reprised the role in the film version, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (Frank Tashlin, 1957), with Tony Randall, and became a major Hollywood star. She showcased her comedic skills in The Girl Can't Help It (Frank Tashlin, 1956), and her dramatic assets in The Wayward Bus (Victor Vicas, 1957) opposite Joan Collins. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: “Despite good dramatic performances in such films as The Wayward Bus (1957), Kiss Them for Me (1957), and The Burglar (1957), Mansfield was forever typed as a parody of Marilyn Monroe.” By the late 1950s, with the decrease in the demand for big-breasted blonde bombshells and the increase in the negative backlash against her over-publicity, she became a box-office has-been.
While Hollywood studios lost interest in her, Jayne Mansfield’s film career continued in Europe with films in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, and Greece. 20th Century Fox loaned her out for the British Neo-Noir thriller Too Hot to Handle/Playgirl After Dark (Terence Young, 1960). Jayne played a nightclub dancer opposite Leo Genn, Karlheinz Böhm and Christopher Lee. In Britain, she also appeared in The Challenge/It Takes a Thief (John Gilling, 1960) with Anthony Quayle and Carl Möhner. Hollywood sent her to Italy for Gli amori di Ercole/The Loves of Hercules (Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, 1960) opposite muscleman and husband Mickey Hargitay. Bruce Eder at AllMovie: “A fairly lavishly produced but otherwise relatively undistinguished sword-and-sandal adventure.” After her contract with 20th Century Fox ended, she made in Germany Heimweh nach St. Pauli/Homesick for St. Pauli (Werner Jacobs, 1963) starring Schlager star Freddy Quinn, and Einer frisst den anderen/Dog Eat Dog (Gustav Gavrin, 1964). Mark Deming at AllMovie describes the latter as an “offbeat but stylish crime drama”. At the time, she was photographed in Germany by legendary glamour photographer Bernard of Hollywood (a.k.a. Bruno Bernard) , which resulted in a series of very sexy and popular postcards. Jayne moved on to Italy for the comedies L'Amore Primitivo/Primitive Love (Luigi Scattini, 1964), and Panic Button (George Sherman, Giuliano Carnimeo, 1964) with Maurice Chevalier. During the 1960s, Mansfield remained a highly visible celebrity, through her publicity antics and daring performances in international nightclubs. In early 1967, she filmed her last screen role: a cameo in A Guide for the Married Man (Gene Kelly, 1967), a comedy starring Walter Matthau. Mansfield had taken her professional name from her first husband, public relations professional Paul Mansfield, with whom she married in 1950 at age 16, and with whom she had a daughter. She was the mother of three children from her second marriage to actor–bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay (1958-1964). She married her third husband, Italian-born film director Matt Cimber/Matteo Ottaviano in 1964, and separated from him in 1966. Mansfield and Cimber had a son. In 1967, while driving to a club engagement in New Orleans, Jayne Mansfield died in a car accident. She was only 34 years old at the time. Her fourth child, Mariska Hargitay, would later become a well-known TV actress.

'Panic Button': morning rush hour at Holborn station, on the front page of the weekend supplement of Singapore's leading Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao.
London Underground Photo Exhibition celebrating 150 years of the Tube, at the Strand Gallery, central London (March--April 2013), University of Cambridge (June--October 2013) and Subway Gallery (London, 14--22 March 2014).
Full list of publications and international media coverage of the exhibition
Quick Pint? Fortunately it was a false alarm somebody pressed the panic button behind the bar by mistake.

The advantage of having a twin brother is that you duplicate the amount of women you have sexual intercourse with. But remember, there are some basic rules that you must follow flawlessly to avoid some painfull slaps in the face.
1. Role rehearsal with you brother the mutual impersonation.
2. Details mater, so don't forget anything. Girls know their details.
3. Panic button? The "I love you" always gets you out of embaracement.
This is Catch Photo #18, a new game of Photo Catch I'm playing with my Partner Darek (aka blankspace321) . We each take turns adding something to the photo. We limit ourselves to 20 additions each. This is the 19th of my 20.

Meghan Markle is a 'look at me' troll. Rachel Zegler is a 'look at me' troll.
Harry and Meghan have issued a press release stating they have now changed their pronouns...
From now on they would like to be referred to as Me/Me and Me/Me respectively
Macro Mondays - Things found in your pocket . . .
I always have my keys, of course, but am always afraid that I'll inadvertently hit the red Panic button one of these days - I'll have to try it out when no one's around!
Here's how the cabin is set up for the night. The bed is folded down and made-up by the staff while you are at dinner. There's just enough room to walk around both sides of the bed, and quite a bit of room at the foot of the bed. They also leave a nightcap for you - the sort you drink, not the sort you wear. (Mine seems to have mysteriously disappeared.)
Does anybody alive today remember the old Arby's TV commercials that featured a "panic button" that the staff were not supposed to push... but then, of course, they did? The first Arby's in my hometown, back when Arby's restaurants had huge, sloping glass fronts on the buildings and giant cowboy hat shaped signs out front, had a "panic button" on the prep counter, visible from the ordering counter. Originally it had a little sign next to it indicating "panic button." Over the years the restaurant was remodeled. The "panic button" sign disappeared, but the red button was still there for decades.
Anyway, here's a swell book of matches – oh, yeah, customers could smoke in the dining area back then, and restaurants routinely gave out complimentary books of matches – from the early days of Arby's interstate expansion in the late 1960s.

Note to self, never keep your key fob in your pocket, while slipping, then eventually falling on ice. My key fob panic button sounded the horn on my truck, the noise made for quiet an entrance and lots of pissed off birders
This is how I feel as midnight approaches and I don't have my photo of the day yet.
This is how I feel when i realize I've spent an hour on flickr that I should have spent doing things for the business.
This is how I feel when I think about quitting project 365.
I really should quit but checking out everbody's photos and reading comments on mine is such a bright spark in my day.

Hollywood sent her to Italy for Gli amori di Ercole/The Loves of Hercules (Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, 1960) opposite muscleman and husband Mickey Hargitay. Bruce Eder at AllMovie: “A fairly lavishly produced but otherwise relatively undistinguished sword-and-sandal adventure.” After her contract with 20th Century Fox ended, she made in Germany Heimweh nach St. Pauli/Homesick for St. Pauli (Werner Jacobs, 1963) starring Schlager star Freddy Quinn, and Einer frisst den anderen/Dog Eat Dog (Gustav Gavrin, 1964). Mark Deming at AllMovie describes the latter as an “offbeat but stylish crime drama”. At the time, she was photographed in Germany by legendary glamour photographer Bernard of Hollywood (a.k.a. Bruno Bernard) , which resulted in a series of very sexy and popular postcards. Jayne moved on to Italy for the comedies L'Amore Primitivo/Primitive Love (Luigi Scattini, 1964), and Panic Button (George Sherman, Giuliano Carnimeo, 1964) with Maurice Chevalier. During the 1960s, Mansfield remained a highly visible celebrity, through her publicity antics and daring performances in international nightclubs. In early 1967, she filmed her last screen role: a cameo in A Guide for the Married Man (Gene Kelly, 1967), a comedy starring Walter Matthau. Mansfield had taken her professional name from her first husband, public relations professional Paul Mansfield, with whom she married in 1950 at age 16, and with whom she had a daughter. She was the mother of three children from her second marriage to actor–bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay (1958-1964). She married her third husband, Italian-born film director Matt Cimber/Matteo Ottaviano in 1964, and separated from him in 1966. Mansfield and Cimber had a son. In 1967, while driving to a club engagement in New Orleans, Jayne Mansfield died in a car accident. She was only 34 years old at the time. Her fourth child, Mariska Hargitay, would later become a well-known TV actress.

Some Hollywood stars were much more popular in Europe than at home. A fabulous example is sweet Jayne Mansfield (1933-1967), one of Hollywood's original platinum blonde bombshells. Although most of her American films did not do much at the European box offices, Jayne was a sensation whenever she came to Europe to promote her films. During the 1960s, when Hollywood lost interest in her, Jayne continued to appear cheerfully in several European films.
Jayne Mansfield was born Vera Jayne Palmer in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, in 1933. She was the only child of Herbert William, a successful attorney of German ancestry, and Vera Jeffrey Palmer of English descent. While attending the University of Texas at Austin, Mansfield won several beauty contests. However, her prominent breasts were considered problematic and led to her losing her first professional assignment—an advertising campaign for General Electric. A natural brunette, Mansfield had her hair bleached and coloured platinum blonde when she moved to Los Angeles. She posed nude for the February 1955 issue of Playboy, modelling in pyjamas raised so that the bottoms of her breasts showed. This helped launch Mansfield's career, and that year, she became a major Broadway star as Marilyn Monroe-like actress Rita Marlowe in the Broadway version of George Axelrod's play 'Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?' This role won her a contract at 20th Century Fox. The following year, she reprised the role in the film version, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (Frank Tashlin, 1957), with Tony Randall, and became a major Hollywood star. She showcased her comedic skills in The Girl Can't Help It (Frank Tashlin, 1956), and her dramatic assets in The Wayward Bus (Victor Vicas, 1957) opposite Joan Collins. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: “Despite good dramatic performances in such films as The Wayward Bus (1957), Kiss Them for Me (1957), and The Burglar (1957), Mansfield was forever typed as a parody of Marilyn Monroe.” By the late 1950s, with the decrease in the demand for big-breasted blonde bombshells and the increase in the negative backlash against her over-publicity, she became a box-office has-been.
While Hollywood studios lost interest in her, Jayne Mansfield’s film career continued in Europe with films in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, and Greece. 20th Century Fox loaned her out for the British Neo-Noir thriller Too Hot to Handle/Playgirl After Dark (Terence Young, 1960). Jayne played a nightclub dancer opposite Leo Genn, Karlheinz Böhm and Christopher Lee. In Britain, she also appeared in The Challenge/It Takes a Thief (John Gilling, 1960) with Anthony Quayle and Carl Möhner.

Does anybody alive today remember the old Arby's TV commercials that featured a "panic button" that the staff were not supposed to push... but then, of course, they did? The first Arby's in my hometown, back when Arby's restaurants had huge, sloping glass fronts on the buildings and giant cowboy hat shaped signs out front, had a "panic button" on the prep counter, visible from the ordering counter. Originally it had a little sign next to it indicating "panic button." Over the years the restaurant was remodeled. The "panic button" sign disappeared, but the red button was still there for decades.
Anyway, here's a swell book of matches – oh, yeah, customers could smoke in the dining area back then, and restaurants routinely gave out complimentary books of matches – from the early days of Arby's interstate expansion in the late 1960s.

[16:17] Fluffy Snoodle shouts, "ELLIE!"
[16:17] Elliena Trappen stops as she hears then shakes her head continuing to walk off
[16:17] Fluffy Snoodle growls, "Stop!"
16:18] Fluffy Snoodle drops down behind her silently and slowly creeps up, "What the hell is wrong with you?! You almost killed your own child." She spat out angrily, one hand rested on her beretta.
[16:20] Elliena Trappen doesnt turn back her eyes staring out at the water, her voice seems vacant like it's not ellie who speaks at all"so...she was a bad lil one, I told her to come and she didnt listen. Bad little ones are punished."
[16:21] Fluffy Snoodle shakes her head, "Look who's fuckin' talking. You were good. -were-, Keyword there." She'd keep her hand rested upon her gun. "She did nothing wrong, when in actuality she did the right thing. You're the one who is completely wrong."
[16:23] Elliena Trappen shrugs as she stands there "Yah so i'm bad, big deal you get less hurt when your bad then when you are good....no one messes with you then...."she lets out a small growl"Just get away from me ....that chapter of my life is gone, done....the hive is my family ...they take care of me...They made me whole again."her voice sounded insane
[16:25] Fluffy Snoodle couldn't help but to laugh again, "Oh, that's really funny Ellie. Hill-fucking-arious. Was the pack not your family? Did you just throw us away and become bad because of some silly little breakup. Well let me break this to you sweetheart, we've all been through bad breakups but that doesn't mean it's normal to go completely insane and work the woman who tried to kill ALL OF US!"
[16:28] Elliena Trappen rolls her eyes"Everythone thinks it is over a blood break up, it's more then just that....I am not working with them...I am the daughter to Mirage...She healed me , taught me i can be strong...among other things>It is cause of her I am alive....when i was nearly dead in the hostipal after getting nearly blown up. The old ellie is gone, the caring give a damn ellie died long ago....been hurt too many damn times, emotionally physically to give a damn now...."
[16:31] Fluffy Snoodle draws her gun finally, "Well then Ellie, looks like we're enemies. Since your 'mother' has tried to kill Ayr, Slee, myself, Breks and afew others. I don't want to see you around ever again. I do not want to see you with your 'daughter' again either. She is now under the protection of two unnamed people." she keeps her gun aimed to Ellie's upper chest. "Mirage tried to make the generator explode which would have destroyed all of apoc. How can you live with yourself calling you her 'daughter'?"
[16:35] Elliena Trappen looks back at Fluffy, her eyes were emotioness, well there was a hint of the old ellie still there but it was very faint"When she put her nanites in me , she chose me as her daughter, not me choosing her. It is something i had no choice in the matter, and have learn to accept it."her arms crossed over her chest, watching hte gun being pullled, yet made no attempt to even go for her own"I will see Arwen when i want.I know Tanner got her, and i know that Sister D will try to protect her....the child belongs to me and me alone..."
[16:37] Fluffy Snoodle shakes her head, "The child belongs to you no longer. You are an unfit parent. Where are you other children?I know you have more than just her." She'd keep the Beretta aimed for her chest. "And you didn't have to accept her as your mother you could have fought back, hid with the pack. We would have taken care of you! We were always there for you when you needed us. But now...now you've gone too far...siding with the enemy."
[16:41] Elliena Trappen looks at Fluffy"the other children are safe with me at home, taken care of growing fine.....I was in no stregth to even fight her.Even to argue....I was dying. "she turned her back from fluffy arms crossed over her chest brushing her hand through her hair whispering something for a moment
[16:43] Fluffy Snoodle lets out a low growl, echoing from her throat, "You are going to let those children grow up know who mirage is? You're going to let them grow up to be villians just like her, killing innocent people for the fun of it." Fluff let an airy laugh escape her lips before shooting one round off dangously close to the womans foot. "You're a disgrace. We should have never even let you near the pack."
[16:46] Elliena Trappen looks down at hte bullet going off, she didnt even flinch , glancing up gain"Midian makes people change. Face it I am not Ellie anymore. Ellie was a wimp who got raped , beaten, who got her heart broken again and again. You wont see that Ellie anymore...not for a long time. Desmona and the twins are fine , as Mirage will not touch them nor will she touch who i ask her nto to."
[16:50] Fluffy Snoodle holsters her gun and just shakes her head again before turning and walking off, she only still looked at the old ellie. It'd take her some time before she could even harm the girl, "You're right, when I first came to Midian I was a coward, and now look at me, standing up for what is right and protecting those who need it. You're a lost cause Ellie, siding with Mirage is going to get you into way more trouble than being a coward ever did. ALl you had to do was carry a gun, all you had to do was hit the panic button on your phone and you would have never been rape, or attacked so vicously. We were a pack and we are supposed to act like one. You're just a lone wolf who doesn't even seem to care about herself." She'd pause and look over her shoulder towards Ellie, "I hope you have a terrible life."
[16:53] Elliena Trappen looks behind her"Carry a gun does shit when you dont know how to use it , you can push a button, yet not always works, people will grabyour phone and smash it."she rest her hand to her gun and turns around slowly ever so slightly drawing it out but holds it at her side" I used to give a damn about others, but look were it got me a shell of my former self, i used to be beautiful but now i'm a mech monster."
[16:55] Fluffy Snoodle shakes her head, "You'd still be beautiful if you would have stayed with us Ellie, or even sided with the catwalkers. But no, you're definitely right now, you -are- a monster." She spat to the side of her, "And now I wash myself if you. Worthless rat." And with that - she was off.

I found these items just sitting on the sidewalk. I pressed the panic button on the key fob and found the car - it was in a private community parking lot and the building was a secure building that require an access code to enter. I waited and approached folks in the parking lot - pointed the car. Finally one of the folks knew the own and pointed her out - she walk walking her Basset Hound. I got her attention and got her keys to her. She had set them down while picking up after her dog and forgot them.

This helped launch Mansfield's career, and that year, she became a major Broadway star as Marilyn Monroe-like actress Rita Marlowe in the Broadway version of George Axelrod's play 'Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?' This role won her a contract at 20th Century Fox. The following year, she reprised the role in the film version, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (Frank Tashlin, 1957), with Tony Randall, and became a major Hollywood star. She showcased her comedic skills in The Girl Can't Help It (Frank Tashlin, 1956), and her dramatic assets in The Wayward Bus (Victor Vicas, 1957) opposite Joan Collins. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: “Despite good dramatic performances in such films as The Wayward Bus (1957), Kiss Them for Me (1957), and The Burglar (1957), Mansfield was forever typed as a parody of Marilyn Monroe.” By the late 1950s, with the decrease in the demand for big-breasted blonde bombshells and the increase in the negative backlash against her over-publicity, she became a box-office has-been.
While Hollywood studios lost interest in her, Jayne Mansfield’s film career continued in Europe with films in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, and Greece. 20th Century Fox loaned her out for the British Neo-Noir thriller Too Hot to Handle/Playgirl After Dark (Terence Young, 1960). Jayne played a nightclub dancer opposite Leo Genn, Karlheinz Böhm and Christopher Lee. In Britain, she also appeared in The Challenge/It Takes a Thief (John Gilling, 1960) with Anthony Quayle and Carl Möhner. Hollywood sent her to Italy for Gli amori di Ercole/The Loves of Hercules (Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, 1960) opposite muscleman and husband Mickey Hargitay. Bruce Eder at AllMovie: “A fairly lavishly produced but otherwise relatively undistinguished sword-and-sandal adventure.” After her contract with 20th Century Fox ended, she made in Germany Heimweh nach St. Pauli/Homesick for St. Pauli (Werner Jacobs, 1963) starring Schlager star Freddy Quinn, and Einer frisst den anderen/Dog Eat Dog (Gustav Gavrin, 1964). Mark Deming at AllMovie describes the latter as an “offbeat but stylish crime drama”. At the time, she was photographed in Germany by legendary glamour photographer Bernard of Hollywood (a.k.a. Bruno Bernard), which resulted in a series of very sexy and popular postcards. Jayne moved on to Italy for the comedies L'Amore Primitivo/Primitive Love (Luigi Scattini, 1964), and Panic Button (George Sherman, Giuliano Carnimeo, 1964) with Maurice Chevalier. During the 1960s, Mansfield remained a highly visible celebrity, through her publicity antics and daring performances in international nightclubs. In early 1967, she filmed her last screen role: a cameo in A Guide for the Married Man (Gene Kelly, 1967), a comedy starring Walter Matthau. Mansfield had taken her professional name from her first husband, public relations professional Paul Mansfield, with whom she married in 1950 at age 16, and with whom she had a daughter. She was the mother of three children from her second marriage to actor–bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay (1958-1964). She married her third husband, Italian-born film director Matt Cimber/Matteo Ottaviano in 1964, and separated from him in 1966. Mansfield and Cimber had a son. In 1967, while driving to a club engagement in New Orleans, Jayne Mansfield died in a car accident. She was only 34 years old at the time. Her fourth child, Mariska Hargitay, would later become a well-known TV actress.

The crack-head finally moved out! Unfortunately, she didn't actually "move out". She just left. Here is part of the pile I made from the left-over crap. We even found an authentic crack pipe. The joint is an interior decorator's worst nightmare. None of the carpets, paint colors, or fixtures match each other. The apartment is downright huge though, at least by NYC standards. I guess it's all about potential.

Some Hollywood stars were much more popular in Europe than at home. A fabulous example is sweet Jayne Mansfield (1933-1967), one of Hollywood's original platinum blonde bombshells. Although most of her American films did not do much at the European box offices, Jayne was a sensation whenever she came to Europe to promote her films. During the 1960s, when Hollywood lost interest in her, Jayne continued to appear cheerfully in several European films.
Jayne Mansfield was born Vera Jayne Palmer in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, in 1933. She was the only child of Herbert William, a successful attorney of German ancestry, and Vera Jeffrey Palmer of English descent. While attending the University of Texas at Austin, Mansfield won several beauty contests. However, her prominent breasts were considered problematic and led to her losing her first professional assignment—an advertising campaign for General Electric. A natural brunette, Mansfield had her hair bleached and coloured platinum blonde when she moved to Los Angeles.
