Déjà’s mother was a crack addict and prostitute. At five Déjà started raising the other five children in the house. All shared a mother and none shared a father.
At nine her mother was taken away and the children split up. Déjà ran away from her foster family at twelve and came out as a woman. “I picked up all sorts of habits. I started doing things I don’t do, including smoking crack like my momma did.”
She has been in Hunts Point only a week, “I relapsed so here I am.”
She lives with Michael in an empty lot, working the track at night. “The only way I can prostitute is to drink and to do cocaine. How can you pretend to love and have sex otherwise? Addiction makes you do things you don't want to do.”
She sat in the cold spray of the hydrant, cooling off.
“I want the white picket fence, the Tupperware parties, the husband and kids.”
“Dream? That’s a fairy tale not a dream. Out here you can’t have dreams.”

Aerial shot of Point vicente Lighthouse during sunset. It is also my first tes result of DJI Phantom 4. It is an amazing tool for photographers and videographers. Versatile, easy to use and high image and video output quality.
Point Bonita is the south-western tip of the Marin Headlands, just north of San Francisco. This was taken four years ago on one of the most "-est" shooting nights: my first self-organized get-together of night photographers; my first night shooting digital; the best night weather I've ever experienced on the coast; and the biggest group of night photographers that ever turned up for an unofficial shoot.
Just got home from 9 days down in Cali and had the chance to get out shooting with Bluey a couple times including a trip to Yosemite and a trip to Point Lobos. I also made it into the city with Jim Patterson for a decent sunset last night. This image was taken at Point Lobos. This was my first time visiting this area but will NOT be my last. The coastline along here is absolutely amazing. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving week and I will catch up with everything you all have been shooting in the next couple days.

South Shields - The best light was in the other direction which I suppose is normasl for this time of year.
Shot on an Olympus 35RC. The film rewind crank broke off and I had to force the film out and rewind it myself, thus exposing it to light in the process.

Located where the Link River meets Upper Klamath Lake, Putnam's Point is a great place to view clarks and western grebes. We had the good fortune of spending a few days at this location. Absolutely amazing and a tremendous amount of fun. Klamath Falls, Oregon, 5/2017
Ardnave Point
This is a fascinating and very quiet area where you can enjoy the sea and the views to other islands, to walk the beaches, enjoy the dunes and observe the wildlife. I was seen off by two Oystercatchers who must have chicks nearby and the last time I was here Turnstone chicks landed in the water and paddled over my feet, it was an experience I have never forgotten.
This is an image from Lindy Point right below the overlook of the sunset. This viewing station is in Blackwater Falls State Park, WV. Caught a starburst at the bottom of the dark clouds which made it cool. Had a great time in the short period we were there. Very unusual trip down to WV this year. Nice water flow at Swallow in MD, Shay Run was flowing nice, got a starburst sunset at Lindy Point and Sunrise the next morning at Dolly Sods. Can't ask for more than that huh? My Buddy Frank made his first trip down there with me and he lucked out on his first trip down. Good for him. I'm pretty sure he's hooked on the venues.
March Point. Padilla Bay/Fidalgo Bay.
"Hosting one of the largest Great Blue Heron colonies in Western North America, this island of forest sits between Padilla and Fidalgo Bays. Vera and Bud Kinney donated this property to Skagit Land Trust in 1994 to protect the nesting herons. With the cooperation of neighboring landowners, each year, Skagit Land Trust conducts a nest count in the heronry. 680 heron nests were counted in 2019 in this relatively small area, which provides easy access to feeding grounds for the herons. Unfortunately, the Trust does not have access to all neighboring property, and therefore some heron nests are uncounted. The overall trend, however, shows increasing number of heron nests in the colony on SLT property and the property to which we have access -- and there are likely to be hundreds more nests on the adjacent property to which we do not have access." March Point Heronry

JUMP - by Madonna
"There’s only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, then more time that I waste
I haven’t got much time to waste, it’s time to make my way
I’m not afraid of what I’ll face, but I’m afraid to stay
I’m going down my own road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own
Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don’t ever look back, oh baby,
Yes, I’m ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump
We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on is your family
And life’s gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see
Are you ready to jump?
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of My own
It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own...
I can make it alone"
... then again... ...I'm not alone.
I've been intending to shoot this photograph for a long time. The combination of lockdown and having more time to myself has provided the opportunity.
Time was really lacking this week: no opportunity to really catch great shots, no time for advanced processing. However, I still wanted to create something, so I simply took some photos on the way back from a family visit (some landscapes and trees along the road), and processed them a few hours, trying to obtain an interesting result. It's probably not an unforgettable image, but at least I hope it is a bit fun!
From the archives which I seem to be looking at quite a lot lately. Sad news about Whitney Houston, such talent, such a waste.
Fox Point, is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located on the Aspotogan Peninsula in the Chester Municipal District on the Lighthouse Route (Nova Scotia Route 329).

"I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
Hey! it's a pink moon."
>>> Nick Drake / Pink moon (1972)

For me Aguereberry Point is one of the most amazing viewpoints in Death Valley National Park. It is located in the Panamint Mountains high above the valley floor on the opposite side of famous Dante's View.

This was shot at “Sarimbun end”, located near Lim Chu Kang Road and situated on the western end of Singapore. 2 xp HDR . Temp increased a bit to strengthen the transparency of the stones in the water. F16; 20s and I think 10s ;iso100. View On Black
Beyond this point and the Johor Straits, one can see Malaysia. A flurry of mobile sms told me I’m logged onto the Malaysian Mobile operator’s cell site. The water is quite silted and outlined with mangroves. It’s always great fun and inspirational to go photo shooting with another photographer,…..but NO …… not just another…. went with my extremely talented friend Daniel Cheong
And thanks to stimbijik for providing details on the location.
