Hello my friends todays painting is from one of my memories of Olongapo City, Philippines .my visit to Olongapo was special in many ways.Since I was in the navy at the time it was a chance to get the hell off the ship (U.S.S Callaghan DDG-994) google it haha I was a plankowner of that ship which meant I was part of the first crew on board which was a destroyer,anyway time to write about the the most exciting town in the Orient. The stories I heard about this place before even stepping foot off the ship were amazing,lets just say I was happy to be a single guy, this was my chance to experience what had become legendary - a night in Olongapo. For the bar owners it meant money, and lots of it. And for the Filipinos employed at the various clubs it meant not only income, but often the chance to meet the right guy and, if they were so disposed, to start the move eastward. the famous line of I love you Joe no sh&t take me back to the states was a line I heard almost every night, not me but some sailors actually got married to some very beautiful Filipino women, just walking down the streets would cause women to flock outside to you grabbing your arm like your some kind of rock star, to them you were rich, which is certainly not the case as everyone knows service men and women don't make jack squat really, but to them yes your rolling in the doe,its really a sad situation looking back on it the way alot of people and especially woman have to live but at the time being a young punk with a bunch of like minded navy men out to get drunk we were in heaven,at least in the minds of a bunch of young punks,another thing I remember is before you came into town you had to go over a little river known simply as the "Sh&t River." only a sailor could of thought up that name , but it was fairly appropriate given that raw sewage from the town was often dumped into it. Boys in little, flimsy boats beckoned from below the bridge, telling passers-by to throw pesos or centavos into the river. When a coin did get thrown, the boys would dive into the filth and somehow retrieve the coin. The navy eventually tried to discourage this practice by putting a fence along one side of the bridge. which is a good thing because no telling how many diseases one could get from such a practice,once in town and in a bar Most of the Filipinos who worked in bars, did not consider themselves prostitutes. In many ways this was true.
A bar fine worked like this: if a guy sat at a bar and got to talking to one of the girls behind the counter, he could ask her to leave the bar with him. The girl had the option of saying yes or no, though the bar owner or mama-san would often discourage refusals. Still, girls could, and did, refuse invitations by servicemen to go out on the town. This was one aspect of the barfine which distinguished it from prostitution. lucky for me Im a good looking guy and women would often want to pay me hahah sorry I guess I still have some of that navy jackass in me, just joking,any how
If the girl was agreeable, however, there would be a fine. Technically, you were not paying for the girl. In fact, the money you paid to the bar was to compensate the owner of the bar for the loss of the girl's work that night. This is because most of the girls worked for little or nothing other than tips. So if you wanted to deprive the bar of what was essentially free labor, you had to at least compensate the owner for the loss. Thus the "fine."
Granted, the girls did normally receive half of the fine. But this was merely a bonus paid by the bar to the girl for bringing it repeat business. Barfine amounts depended upon the bar. In the 1980's, barfines at the flashier places could go for as much as 500 or even 600 pesos a night - about $30 to $40 US. In the smaller bars fines averaged 400 pesos and sometimes even less. So what did a barfine get you? The only thing a patron was guaranteed was that the girl would be allowed to leave the bar with him. This came as a rude shock to some Olongapo newcomers, who assumed that the fine ensured him of a night of sex. It did not. True, the girls were highly encouraged by the bar owners to consent to sexual requests, and the girls themselves sometimes did so simply to ensure another barfine the next day, but the girls were not obligated to do anything. On most first "dates" the best you could hope for was a kiss, unless the girl was an unabashed "professional." Most were not, however. Most were girls from villages or other islands who served customers drinks most of the night, but who suffered the indignity of wearing a one piece bathing suit every hour or so in order to keep their jobs. They did this in order to make a few pesos for their family, and more often than not, in order to find a nice American guy who was marriage material so that she and her family might actually have a future of some kind. These Filipinos tended to cluster together in groups for safety and solace, If concrete relationships were established, a serviceman could sometimes buy a lifetime barfine from the bar. This would be a large, flat fee paid to the bar to ensure that the girl would always be available for the payee. Some of the girls liked this arrangement because of the implied commitment, and because it often served as an excuse on their part not to accept barfines from men they didn't find attractive. Note that a lifetime barfine did not necessarily prohibit the girl from accepting barfines from other men,especially if your ship pulled out even for a few days, and it did not carry over if the girl quit one bar and began working at another. Also, most of the girls were hopeless romantics. From the start most of them made it clear that they were not sexual partners. They were girlfriends, or "honey-ko's." You would take them dancing and out to eat and give them everything else which a girlfriend was due. She would meet your friends, and your friends' girlfriends, and you would take vacations together (for example, to Baguio). You might meet her family (usually an awkward affair).. Those pre-port fantasies of choosing a different girl every night would evaporate for most guys. If you decided to take out another girl, your own friends would question why you were "cheating" on your girlfriend, and you could bet that the "Filipino Network" was working at lightspeed to get word of your infidelity to the right parties. Despite their most stubborn efforts to remain a "playboy," sailors and Marines usually found themselves in relationships. Which implied - yes - commitment! It was a very humbling experience.
When the ships pulled out, that was a time of tears and promises. The girls who had found boyfriends would cry, the girls who had not welcomed the arrival of new ships and new hope. Promises were made by the sailors and Marines to come back, to write, to remain faithful...promises normally broken. Not always.Im pretty sure the navy no longer has a base there after many years and with the service men gone I have no idea how that place is now, after all even with all the crazy stuff that went on alot of money was pouring into that little city every night from servicemen around the world,

"Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question ...
Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"
- Thomas S. Eliot

To answer all the questions:
This is actually a mangrove seed tree found washed ashore. Mangrove seed tree is very independent and has self-surviving mechanism. Once it drops itself from the mother tree branches, it will straight away stick itself vertically in the shallow seabed in mangrove population.
Probably this seed tree has been washed away from its original location due to strong current/high tide. I thought this seed tree would be a great conceptual photography. After I took this shot, I throw it away in the sea and I believe it will find its way and survives.
I've got some questions asking what this weird looking place is. This building called "Laochangfang" used to be, well guess what, a slaughter house in Shanghai. Built in 1933, it was designed by a British architect. Today it becomes a relatively less-known tourist attraction in Shanghai. As you can probably see from the pictures, on a day when there are not a lot of people, walking in the building can be a bit scary.

I don’t belong to the HBM (Happy Bench Monday) group, but I’ll occasionally post a bench on Monday and a fence on Friday (HFF). BUT my question is.....’Is it truly about the bench or where the bench is setting?’

I started uni today. It was awesome! I love my classes and the atmosphere.
But I also found out Shepard Fairey may be going to jail for lying to the court about trying to get rid of evidence for the Obama hope poster. This is all going to sound very childlike and uninformed coming from me but having to go to jail for lying about using a photo? What a complete waste. He has a family, he inspires so many and does actual good to the world. But instead he's being potentially punished with a 6 month jail sentence. It really makes you wonder what the point of a lot of things is.
These letters are from a art project I did about 2 years ago inspired by Barbara Kruger. They felt about street art-ish so here's my photo for the day.

I Would Keep It Clean
A year ago, Eric Raeber started a project where he asked children this question: ”If Earth was the size of a beach ball, what could you do to save our planet?” The children came up with incredibly creative ideas on how to improve the health of our planet, and together with Eric, they illustrated their visions with wonderful images.
Eric has challenged friends at G+ and FB to show us in a photo or a video how they would save our planet if it was the size of a beach ball (or any ball). Alternatively, they had the option of making a difference by planting a few trees at bit.ly/2kIf9V0 and help reach the goal of 100,000 trees by Earth Day. Stacy was one of the persons that got the challenge (you can see her image here: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210996065631395&set... ), and Stacy in turn has challenged me.
This is my entry thanks to the challenge from Stacy.
So now, I want to challenge JR McCurdie to show us in a photo or a video how he would save our planet if it was the size of a beach ball (or any ball).
Anyone can make a difference by planting trees at bit.ly/2kIf9V0 and help us reach the goal of 100'000 trees by Earth Day.

The name of the butterfly is "Question Mark" The other one has been identified as a "Coma" butterfly LOL
A Question Mark butterfly, Polygonia interrogationis, in the Leslie Street garden allotments, Toronto.
The Cosmic Question Mark (NGC 7822) is a nebula located in the constellation Cepheus, which is approximately 2,900 light years away. The nebula is home to one of the hottest stars known. The star is known as BD+66 1673. This star is one of the primary sources illuminating the nebula.
The nebula gets its name because it resembles a question mark in its entirety. I didn’t plan very well and didn’t shoot another couple mosaic panels to capture the entire nebula! The other two panels will be another project in the winter as this was a little bit of a pain to capture.

Found hogging the road at the Wolf River Restoration Area near Collierville, Tn. Note one antenna seems to be missing. Actually, it is just pointing down and cannot be seen.

Alejandro, Eindhoven, Netherlands, 2016
I saw Alejandro waiting on the Nieuwe Emmasingel at Eindhoven. He was waiting for some friends that evening. I approached Alejandro with the question if he wants to pose for me. He agreed so I made some photos of him.
Alejandro is original from Spain. He is a 3rd years PhD student at the University of Technology in Eindhoven. We had a little chat about the University of Eindhoven, where I became Master of Science.
Alejandro told also that he likes to do photography, but doesn’t approach strangers to ask if they want to pose.
Alejandro, thanks for posing

While waiting in line at McDonalds for our Mocha Frappas, I noticed the reflection of our car in the back hatch of the Jeep ahead of us. I've taken thousands of photos of cars at car shows and almost all of them have reflections to be dealt with one way or another. But I don't recall ever seeing one upside down like this. Maybe there's a simple explanation but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me how this happens? Or is this just another strange 2020 thing?
