Not even the Whiskey helps the feelings .. I need something stronger or her back . Nothing is You Proof..
Morgan Wallen - You Proof (Lyrics)
Don't pity me I ain't asking for nothing
I'm proof that the cracks let in the light
Keep coming in I'm booking oh
Every scar is a song that I'm singing
Every fall is a bell that keeps ringing
If I break I rebuild I'm not hopeless
I'm alive in the silence
Still alive still fighting
Bleeding inside but I still survive
Every crack tells a story unspoken
Tell it... don't hide
I'm singing my truth through a heart that's been broken
Yeah pieces on the ground still shine like gold
Even broken glass cuts deep, deeper when it's cold
You're a cheating man but somehow I still stand
Ain't no perfect man, just a broken man
Soon nothing left in his hand

I just took a ride
in a silver machine
and I'm still feeling mean
I got a silver machine
Do you want to ride
see yourself going by
other side of the sky
Well I got a silver machine
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign
It flies out of a dream
It's anti-septically clean
You're gonna know where I've been
In my silver machine

Last Sunday I visited two exhibitions in Hamburg. One was with works by various photo artists, the other shows works by Fracisco Goya, Sergei Eisenstein and Robert Longo. Here on the wall the picture of R. Longo: American bald eagle, charcoal on mounted paper.

it's cloudy today, but yesterday we had sun.
The 'book' says that the red-bellied woodpecker eats beetles and a variety of insects and ants, occasionally eating a lizard (and other plant and animal things). We saw this woodpecker conduct a fast chase 'fly-walking' around the tree circling two and a half times to catch this lizard. First time for us.

Waiting for the elevator doors to open, I noticed Thay gazing at the clock above the doors. Then he said, “You know, Jim, a few hundred years ago it would not have been a clock, it would have been a crucifix.” So simple but so startling a comment. He was right. More than a tool of social coordination, the clock has become a quasi-religious object in our world, a symbol of unity, a collective conveyer belt, a symbol so powerful that it could depose the crucifix.

PROOF - Shop & Tasting Room is located in the old "Club Reserva" and is a combination of shop with spirits, wines and beers (liquor store) with a bar (tasting room). In the beautiful setting of this restored building, Nikkie, Timon and Jeroen are happy to present their large selection of spirits that they have in the range; think of single malt whiskey, premium rum and artisan mezcal.
...And happy about it ;)

Who would have known that the "dishwasher-proof" symbol that you can find on the underside of food containers (usually made of plastic) reveals a somewhat quirky, but definitely cute and smiling face? It's pareidolia time again :) Mr. Dishwasher-proof's face is 6x6mm / 0,23x0,23 inches "big", so the entire frame isn't much bigger than that. Illuminated with the usual suspects of make-shift colour filters, and photographed in 2:1 magnification with the Laowa 50mm f/2,8 macro lens. I was able to get about the same magnification (cropped) with the Oly's High-Res Mode and the M.Zuiko 60mm (1:1) macro lens, and the tiny 30mm F2.5 macro lens is somewhat in-between the two with its native 1,25x magnification which was interesting to see.
I'm very busy today and will catch up with you tonight.
HMM, Everyone, and have a great week ahead!
They say there are 4 stages of photography or 4 directions you can go in.
1.The proof shot. Merely documenting that you came and saw.
2. To document.
Similar to the proof shot but more specific and technically accurate.
3. To narrate.
This tends to be a more thought out approach as in telling a story through photos or one single photo. It conveys a message.
4. The creative shot.
This is when you make a conscious decision to capture a certain moment in a certain way or capturing an image to process later as you have a vision for it in her mind.
I tend to lean towards the creative side with 90% of my shots I have a plan for them once i get home to create into something different.
I obviously in turn take proof shots and I do a little with the documenting but I haven't yet dabbled in number 3. The narration part of photos but this year I am going to challenge myself, my mind set and my photography to use my photography to create such images so hopefully by them I can make a difference.
Milkweed seeds...............from very late in the season. I thought that my little section of "wilderness" (usually called the side yard) didn't have any of this plant this year. But one small collection of "fliers" turned up when they seem to have vanished everywhere else. So I made a point of getting close on a recent sunny day.

Agnes: Alright guys, I think this may have gone too far.
Bruno: What do you mean gone too far? You're sitting right beside me.
Agnes: I mean this book. I'm not entirely comfortable with attention from people beyond my core group.
Bruno: That may be the craziest thing that you've ever said. Attention from random strangers is great. They all love me.
Eva: I think the book looks great. It captures my true spirit - intelligent, beautiful and humble.
Bruno: I take excellence to that.
Eva: Don't you mean "exception to that"?
Bruno: Nope. Definitely excellence to that. I'm excellent at intelligence.
Eva: Sometimes I don't think you hear yourself.
Bruno: Sometimes I hear too much of you. And hey - who's that handsome dog sitting on that hill in the placemat?
Agnes: Dude, it's you!
Bruno: I knew that. Because he's handsome and I'm excellent at intelligence.
Eva: And also, it's a page proof from the book - not a placemat.
Bruno: I disagree. It's a placemat because anything that you put food on is a placemat. So I'm just going to sit here and stare until someone puts a big pile of cookies down on it.

This is an exciting time. For about the past year and a half I have been working on a book of dogversattions. It is now so close to done that it is starting to feel real.
There will be two versions of the book. On the table are page proofs of an interior page, the cover (partly hidden) and a 'test print' of the premium version which is landscape format and on glossy paper. This will be the version that I am getting a print run on with 1,000 copies being shipped to me later this week. I have arrangements to sell this through a couple of local book stores and the University of Saskatchewan. A portion of the UofS sales will be donated to the vet college companion fund to pay for treatments of animals in need.
Because of printing and general distribution costs of this version would be too high, we are also putting together a smaller square format non-glossy version that will be available through on-line sellers such as Amazon and be available to be stocked in physical book stores around the world.
More information will be on my website in the next couple of weeks. www.DogversationsBook.com
And by the way - Bruno was mostly right about the placemat. There was a motivational cheerio on the book that I cloned out in post-processing.
I had the chance to shoot this adorable baby today! So smiley and happy with those big blue eyes...she found her thumb after awhile and then nodded off to sleep :)
Yes, that's right...a somewhat foldable 5 month old! It rocked!
Old exhibition printing proofs which I found in a folder and decided I like the white borders. Well, we are constantly told that recycling is a good thing...
Crappy morning high sun back-lighting, but damn - we caught something moving on the A-OK! A brief drive-by of McAlester, OK netted some cool Super-7 action (aka "Wyatt"), seen here approaching the UP diamond. Glad I burned some pixels as the crew tied this short train down half a mile west of this spot and went home for the weekend.
