The story behind The Protector
By Milani Photography
As with every shoot, I have a vision going into it of how I see the story unfolding in front of the camera. This shoot was no different, with a story of a water nymph and his journey.... but as I started setting up the shot, the image I had in my head began to change as I was reminded of a story I used to read to my boys when they were younger. The book "I'll Love You Forever" follows the relationship between a boy and his mother where as time passes, the roles change from that of be mother as protector, to the boy becoming a man and protecting his mother. The ending of this story never failed to bring me to tears, as I was so moved and affected by the immensity of that love and the bond between mother and child. That is the emotion and story I was hoping to convey with this picture. That of the protector and that unique relationship.
A little insight into how I shot this. The set up was in my back yard in a 6x10 kiddie pool. It was backlit with a black v-flat behind us for a backdrop, but low enough to let enough light in. I placed branches in the milky water to give a swampy feel. Jake let me paint his face to give an animalistic look. For my shot I put the camera on a tripod with a ten second timer and ran to get the shot. I then made a composite of Mother and son together. I used Lr5, Ps, for the composite, and Exposure, from Alien Skin.
Thank you for taking the time. Have a blessed day!
Nothing much to this. Just a Protector for the Skull Villains, done to the aesthetic of my other Skull MOC, Skull Chiller, as well as taking cues from summer's Skull Villains. As usual, inspired by the Protectors built by Rayskull on Eurobricks.
This sow had 2 coy (cubs of the year) with her, however this one tended to stay close by to its momma bear. Mostly to sneak in a quick nursing session, but to also have the protection and comfort.
This is another shot i took while "farm sitting" for some good friends.
I got down to lie in the grass to get a good angle, however the male horse found that a bit startling and prompty moved to stand between me and his lady!...after I took the shot i VERY promptly stood up so as not to get trampled on! fun times!
I was a bit disappointed that the firing mechanism doesn't spin like a real mini-gun. Upon making this creation I see that only one type of gear existed to accomplish this; the new mini-turntable piece.
I've had these guys in storage for a while, I just remembered to share the modifications I made to these guys. Some have minor changes, some a bit more, and has no modifications at all (it's just included for Protector completeness, guess the unmodified one :-) )
Who doesnt like some colorful Jolly ranchers? This portector is equiped with hard candy claws and blades. Due to years of mastering the art of the Jolly rancher, this protector has the ability to go from cherry to blue berry flavors. Making him an unpredictable opponent.

This is built around a version of the Variable Core frame by SuspendedAnimation, modified to add Ball Joints instead of Taps and Clips.
"Gather around the fire and let me tell you a story..."
This is one of my Protector MOCs. Nothing revolutionary in the build just something fun.
Inspired by the BZPower forum game "Game of Thrones" players and characters.
Built for PhLUG's Mech Wars event under the Knights faction.
Armed with a mace to strike opponents, this mech is protected by heavy shoulder, forearm and leg armor.
Inspired by torokimasa's (www.flickr.com/photos/torokimasa/) builds. :)
One who, or that which, defends or shields from injury, evil, oppression, etc.; a defender; a guardian; a patron.
thanks to Kim Klassen for the texture

Guasca Noviembre 2015
Pintada Colectiva en el Páramo de Guasca, Cundinamarca. Col
“El paramo no es triste, es serio
No es melancólico, es sereno
No es hostil, es grandioso!” Ernesto Guhl
“Pa´que se den cuenta que nosotros sí queremos aquí, sí
lo queremos y no queremos que vengan y nos rompan
aquí el medio ambiente y la tranquilidad
Alvaro Cruz, campesino habitante de la vereda La Concepción.
aquí el medio ambiente y la tranquilidad
Pintada colaborativa con el parche de Asocomún Fortaleza de la Montaña y Supresión Alternativa, en apoyo a la organización y autogestión de los habitantes de la vereda La Concepción y Juíquín.
“La memoria hídrica de nuestro territorio hoy se refleja en la existencia de 18 acueductos veredales comunitarios, que muestran la profunda relación con el agua y de la vocación agropecuaria de la región. Además, los ríos que se gestan en las cumbres de las montañas de Chingaza suministran el 70% del agua potable a la ciudad de Bogotá y su sabana, es decir a más de 10 millones de personas.
Los hilos que se desprenden de las altas montañas están conectando la vida humana y no humana de los que habitamos las montañas y de quienes habitan la sabana. La invitación que hacemos desde la montaña a la sabana, es pintar esos hilos que nos conectan pero que aparentemente son invisibles, pintar la vereda que el país ha decidido olvidar pero que el mercado energético mundial cuenta como disponible.
Se hace necesario advertir, que el modelo extractivista impulsado por las políticas estatales ha convertido a la montaña andina en un objetivo estratégico para el crecimiento económico nacional; el ritmo exploratorio se ha acelerado en los últimos años con el fin de determinar el potencial minero-energético que resguardan nuestros territorios.
El país experimenta una dinámica de concesión minero energética nunca antes vista. La expansión de la frontera extractiva hacia los páramos pretende la construcción de hidroeléctricas, la concesión para exploración y explotación de metales, minerales e hidrocarburos convencionales y no convencionales; así como la privatización de las aguas, las semillas y la biodiversidad.
Para el caso de nuestro territorio, nos preocupa la exploración de hidrocarburos no convencionales impulsada por el proyecto denominado “bloque sueva sector norte” que fue otorgado por el gobierno nacional a la multinacional Chino-canadiense Nexen Petroleum Company en el año 2008 y que posteriormente en el año 2010 realizó dos perforaciones exploratorias que tuvieron lugar en las veredas San Antonio (Junín) y La Concepción (Guasca), en medio de tres reservas de importancia ecológica; la primera el parque Nacional Natural Chingaza, la reserva regional Carpatos y el páramo de Monquentiva y Guasca. Estos bosques grandiosos son el hogar del Oso de Anteojos u oso Andino, de gran diversidad de aves como el Yatáro o tucán de páramo, colibríes, quetzal o cotorro, periquillos de páramo, armadillos, venados, guaches, zorros, tigrillos e incluso pumas” Asocomún – Fortaleza de la montaña.
Adult Larus occidentalis (Western Gull)

Ventura, Ventura County, California
The pink legs are what seperates the identification of the Larus occidentalis (Western Gull) from the Larus californicus (California gull) which have yellow/grey legs.
