6/52 Perfectly Imperfect
An old groyne, full of weathered detail. Sadly these are being left to rot and are not being replaced.
During a neurofeedback therapy appointment I had experienced the—common for me—painful, devastating, extremely sad, terrorizing effects of trauma I have survived which left me shaking, unable to function, open my eyes or talk as I was taken back to the awful experiences and was “re-living” the physical feelings, overpowering emotions and terror within me as my body did what it needed to work on “moving out” some of the trauma that’s been stored within my body for many, many years. Each day is very challenging for me and these frequent experiences leave me feeling so overwhelmed, extremely bad and scared even though I know working to free myself of the awful effects of trauma is necessary for my ongoing healing, growth and recovery process.
Throughout the 1 1/2 hour drive home from my neurofeedback appointment that day I was thankful to be able to see and pay attention to the beauty of the rain, storm clouds and the captivating sunset. While my husband drove us down our gravel road it was raining. As we sat in the driveway I looked across the corn field next to the edge of the yard and saw a rainbow. After a moment I managed to grab my camera, walk in the rain to the edge of the field as I admired the huge double rainbow and tried to capture what I saw. The rainbow was so large that I couldn’t fit it in one frame—it took 4 pictures with my 25mm lens to capture the bold arc of the double rainbow. It was such an encouraging sight to see this beautiful, big, bright rainbow. A love note from God saying and showing me that as He promised, He is faithful. It was like the few tears of deep sadness and unspeakable pain I had managed to cry earlier had formed into a breathtaking creation of hope.
While this mashup of images is not perfectly put together, it still has deep meaning to me. The imperfections and roughness of this conglomeration of photos really seems to align with the devastating, unspeakable, traumatic circumstances I never would have chosen for myself—there are still beautiful, pleasant, hopeful moments even among the awful circumstances…found through an openness and mindfulness in watching for those moments.

I went searching for a leaf skeleton while I was walking the dogs on Sunday, thousands of leaves but this was the only one I spotted. It was very wet and soggy so I had to carry it home carefully and then lay on some tissues to dry it out.

So long Leave, enjoy your flight!
Nancy, thank you sooo much for your kind testimonial!
Not long ago I got an interesting and inspiring quote from Nancy [Simply(PerfectlyImperfect)]. She inspired me to be creative. I replied her with this photo.
Her wonderful work is like fresh air to me, so refreshing and full of life and joy. Go check it out Here! :-)
our biggest #misfortune is not being able to realize when we are #happyhappy and life gives is that happiness ... our biggest #fortune is after we lost (or almost) lost it to get that #happiness back ... #sunrise in #rome ♥️ ... Every place I’ve ever been to has my heart but there are four places that are even more special to me; New York, San Francisco, Jerusalem and Rome. So many times I wanted to take my canon & tripod, walk around and just shoot till get it right. I never did ! If life will eventually give me another chance that’s exactly what I will do. Now I know why walls in my home are still empty. The right moment never really came, yet !
Young folk in the city | Nikon F6 | Harman Phoenix 200 (b&w).
This was a new color test emulsion from Ilford's Harman division. I did not find it to my liking and very unpredictable colors. But it was still being tested. Once they've completed testing I may try it out again. Hopefully the colors are better, more consistent and there's decent sharpness. I decided to convert this particular shot to black & white..

Also, linking up with Kim Klassen for this week's Texture Tuesday theme of "Perfectly Imperfect".
I picked these bluebells 11 days ago for a picture I made and they have been in the milk bottle, on my kitchen windowsill since then. Yes they are past their best, but no so that I had the heart to throw them out, and they came in handy for today's theme.
To this image I've applied kk_3112 at 80% multiply and kk_jay at 60% soft light.
I am ashamed that despite residing in such close geographic proximity to a locale that was once home to around 20 Banksy pieces, I've never photographed any of them. I believe there are a mere three current survivors, and those are barely hanging on.
Sean Cummings, a New Orleans dude, owns the building this piece was on. He had this chunk of concrete wall cut out of the building, had it restored, removing layers of tags and plastered flyers, for $50k, then he moved it across the city to its current home, the lobby of the International House Hotel in New Orleans, which he also owns. I love to learn of a wealthy person throwing a a ton of money at such a worthy project. What a badass.
Initially, I was irritated by the glare from the light source on this piece. A square chunk of LED lights points directly at the paint. No attempt at diffusion, just a naked bank of little suns. I was taking a break to ponder how I could better edit in post to "fix" the glare, my motivation being respect for the integrity of the art, rather than any proof of my own photographic prowess. I thought about Banksy's "Balloon Girl". When a limited framed print sold at auction for a record more than one million pounds, a shredder built into the frame began to eat it right there. The level of thought provoked, the innovation, creating art that begins to self destruct upon purchase, the degree of change in the piece’s message, and the courage to create something provocative, are hard to wrap my head around.
The light source was my shredder, in its small way. I decided that regardless of its price tag, it’s still a tag, rough and gritty, not meant to be perfectly displayed in the museum sense. Considering this, I decided that the horrible angle of the caustic illumination on "Looters", while less severe than an instant shredding, and whether intentional or not, had a similar effect: annoyance. I've ceased all efforts to "fix" this, and the glare is now one of my favorite parts of the photo. Banksy's intention behind his work is meant to provoke thought, whether it questions what is "art", or as a social, cultural, or political commentary on the generally controversial side of its subject matter.
I'm grateful that this did just that for me: provoked thought, even if it's result was as simple as making peace with a photographically offensive light source. I'll take it. And when I reconsider the fact that I was late to the party, I realize how lucky I am to have seen it at all, a point which also contributed to the cessation of my little light glare hissy fit. Cheers to me on what essentially amounts to growing the F up and seeing a win as a win.
Motivated by a quote that Simply(PerfectlyImperfect) sent me:
You’ve got to push yourself harder.
You’ve got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take.
You’ve got to take the tools you have and probe deeper.

Our 2 year wedding anniversary was yesterday! (9.10.11)
I wish our officiant's hair wasn't blending into mine, hahaha, but little things like that make the pictures more authentic to me...
This one was taken from the comfort of my recliner when I realized I hadn't taken a shot for my 365 project.
i quite like the imperfections in this.
i have several shots of this plucky fish defending his brood at the same time as trying to keep them stashed in their anemone, properly caught between two stools, he was. curious kids and a serious threat. i assume he was "threatened" by his reflection in the lens.
i like this one better than the more obvious 'complete' on the floor shots and the 45° shots i got because i think it adds something to his quandary and my inept attempts to capture it.
(i dont scuba, and was far too buoyant to be in control under water, and you cant look through the viewfinder in this situation (tricky at the best of times with a mask on) so it is pretty much point, press and hope - so: chaotic and a lot of flapping about and heavy breathing.
hmmmm....

i added the vignette, i could have spent time further editing, tidying the flash bounce, cropping etc. but i like it as it is
