T he questions of this day,
H earken to the unknown
E asily asked, yet . . .
D are I answer?
E ver have I shied away,
P iously avoiding
T ruth.
H iding, from myself
S ome are born to bear burdens
O thers, are forced to
F ear . . .
M atters of the mind
Y et ever do we . . .
S eek,
O nly to find no answers,
U nder the bridges of our minds
L ife's dealt its blows
W inning with my grief
I ncomparable though, to the pain of . . .
L ove.
L ove.
B arely a word, yet . . .
E ver does it echo the
R eality of a true heart
E ver gripped by my mind,
A ccosted by demons, yet . . .
L ove, beckoned.
I rresistibly.
S tepping tentatively,
E ver the cynic
D aring the whirlwind,
O f her intensity
N ever, in nine
L ifetimes, could I have known, a
Y earning, so powerfully compelling,
W ithout even a touch.
H ow can this be?
E ven as I ask, I . . .
N otice,
I don't even care
A s was fated though,
M y heart was captured,
F ires were cooled,

N ow I have no fear.
A s always,
L ove does not kill demons,
L ove only soothes them
Y es, they are calm,
W ell, calmer.
I fear though,
T hey will never be silenced.
H er heart is strong though,
M ine as well.
Y et apart, I am only a part.
S oon however,
T ogether,

R ealizing . . . wholeness, the true depths of my soul.
I feel that photography isn't all about the pretty pretty images we see all the time, Its capable of much more, Posing questions as Why, What, Where, And create emotion whether pleasant or not.
Corridor in a hotel at Night, Goa, South West India.
Not a wet paeony :)
What is reality? Is it an image? A reflection of an image? Or is it what we see?
Well... no to all of these. So the question remains an intriguing one. And the more I read about human perception the more intriguing it becomes: our minds don't see what our eyes do…
(And if, perchance, you find your curiosity piqued, ask yourself the question why are tiger and zebra stripes vertical and not horizontal. It’s not an accident and nor a creative whim, and the answer is relevant to photography too….)
This is for the Smile on Saturday group’s Reflection on Black theme.
It’s a visual tease of course. There are three questions in the puzzle:
What is it?
Which way is what?
Where’s the mirror?
All easy to answer, but if your eyes pause even for a moment as they work it out I will feel I have succeeded in my objective.
Curiously, for me, I found it much more obvious looking at the thumbnail than at the full-screen version. And that itself is a comment on our perception I think....
I read somewhere, and it’s true for me, that a photograph that takes the mind a little while to work out generally will be perceived as a more interesting one. And that is why we find record shots and clichéd images less engaging than the creative ones - sometimes just changing the viewpoint makes capture interesting (we all take our images at head height don’t we lol.)
This is part of a set I took 18 months ago, though I only processed this particular perspective today. If you want confirmation of what it is you can rummage through my photostream to find out...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Smile on Saturday :)
[Tripod mount; delayed-release. Black background on black glazed ceramic tile, side-lit with LED torch.
Processed in Capture One using levels to make things blacker and then balancing the light to give some detail in the reflection. Enhanceds colours, particularly the blue and the orange. Because I like them :)
Used a gradient masked layer to brighten the reflection part to decrease the disparity in lightness against the source.
Nik Color Efex Pro for a Classic Soft Focus effect to introduce a glow to the highlights. This was a bit over the top so I blended the effect layer back into the original using Darken mode.
Flipped vertically. For fun.
Then we were done :)]

foto scattata per un lavoro dell'universitÃ
spero che alla prof le foto piacciano, così posso tirarmela un po' ahahah
Ok, so first of all, the photo is completly irrelevant. People like IW so you know, I guess it's 'clickbait' in a way. Also, I guess, sorry for not posting, I'm on holiday so, you know. Plus all you lads follow lots of lads who post like 5 times a day so, you got lots to look at. Ok, on the the question...
So, I've been thinking about this for a while. Would you guys rather have quality, or quantity. Like would you rather have like one or two customs that take like 5-8 hours to make, a week? Or like five or six trash figures a week? I personally like to take my time with my figures. Like, my AK Scarecrow took me like 2 weeks of on and off work to make, and I think it came out really good. Compared to my Kingpin figure which took me like two days and I really don't like the look of him.
So really, quality or quantity?
Post your thoughts below mates.
Oh, and don't be a prick, don't post a photo saying "OH SNAP ______ DIED IN INFINITY WAR. OH SNAP." Because me, and lots of other lads don't want to get the biggest movie of our lives spoiled.
"WHAT language is thine, O sea?"
"The language of eternal question."
"What language is thy answer, O sky?
"The language of eternal silence."
LISTEN, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you.

There’s long been a philosophical question of whether art is more likely to imitate life (mimesis) or life is more likely to imitate art (anti-mimesis).
Oscar Wilde a champion of anti-mimesis, opined in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Wilde holds that anti-mimesis "results not merely from Life's imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy.
The title of this portrait arose from the evolution of the piece itself. I've been coming to cat-sit in London since 2015 and this is my third stay. I noticed this graffiti in Crouch End the very first time I came, but somehow all the best intention of pulling together a portrait dissolved during the trip and once again it was left an unrealised idea.
This year I promised myself I would attempt it, even if it didn't work, I would at least try. It took 30 mins of trying to find something I liked. This composition is something I have done before several times during this project.
Originally I wasn't wearing my yellow coat, but after 30 mins of shooting it was getting cold and starting to rain so I didn't care. It was then I realised that I was actually dressed to match the graffiti which has happened before in the past :) Sometimes Art can imitate life :)

Thank you very much to all of you my dear Flickr friends for your so kind comments!
Ok Woodsman! Your ego isn’t too humiliated?
I just want to put your ego knockout! :)))
Woodsman, do you realize how many sexual acts I see in spring and summer around my stream? :)))
Yesterday I asked to you these questions: do you see that your desires are the expression of your insatisfaction about your past, your insufficiensies? and do you think it’s the samething with the sexual desires?
You answered you were not sure!
Woodsman, you certainly know that your sexuality is the source of all the energy? Right?
Do you realize that in the life of all the people the sexual acts with their lover are the closer experience to the unity…. the closer experience to your return to the unity?
But also, do you realize too that your sexual attirance for the women is always caused by your separation of the unity?
Do you see better now that your total satisfaction is impossible as much as you’re separated of your lover… of the others…. of the light… of the nature?
Ok Woodsman, that’s all for today! Tomorrow my questions/story will be on the difference between you and me!
:)))… to be continued tomorrow…!
My wild river reflection!

Today at university a girl asked a question about God and his mystery... in few words my professor replied with the quote written..
I love listening and discovering how people think.. Even if their answer might be incomplete..one day it will be complete.
So, I've been mulling over beginning a series, similar to the DC related ones you see here quite a lot. As some of you know, I have created a fantasy world named Rivél, and if I begin this new series, I will base it in said world, using characters and locations I have developed previously.
If I do end up beginning this, I will try to post on chapter per month. These chapters will be posted in 3/4 sections with pictures corresponding to what ever is happening in the current section.
Now, for the question. My question for all of you is, do you think I should go ahead with this? And if so, do you have any tips on planning storylines and such. I have tagged those who I think would be especially helpful.
P.S. If you want to see some examples of my work, look here.

Two small raccoons come by regularly for meals. Both look pitiful. Both are bedraggled.
There is an easy way to tell them apart, though. This individual has had a notch taken out of her right ear, which is on the left in this photo.
I don't know how well raccoons get along with one another when they're spread out and hunting individually. However, put out a single abundant source of food and raccoons become extremely possessive and territorial. It's not uncommon for fights to break out among pairs who both want at the food bowl. Their growling is quite terrifying. So is the way they roll along the ground while they fight. Though it is hard to see their moves, when they slow a bit it looks as if they're pushing against each other's shoulders with their heads. In a way, they look like college wrestlers.
I think the notch in the ear is a souvenier of a past fight with a fellow raccoon
Easy to identify this butterfly with that big white question mark on the side of the wing. Found it in my back yard.

I've been working on my MW2 characters for a week now and I'm still not happy with Soap's face. Does it look alright or should I change it??

It's shots like this that make you ask the question.....what is a selfie? What is a self portrait?
This routine is a big part of my life so for me, this very much IS a selfie. A direct selfie, no. A selfie of my routine and where I am in life right now, yes.
I've been thinking a lot about what a self-portrait is lately. I think it can be many things, many types of portraits.

CasaSugar had the chance to ask designer Jeremy Conway a few questions about the place. The most interesting was learning that her plum and cream print rug was a Marni design from The Rug Company - isn't it gorgeous? The designer said the paint was a custom shade, but that it was very similar to Benjamin Moore's Electric Blue.
A similar piece at the Chicago Tribune gives away a few more secrets - according to set decorator Lydia Marks, "The settees were custom-made and upholstered in Silk Trading Co.'s Amanda Lee linen. The one-of-a-kind mirrored coffee table came from New York's ABC Carpet & Home, and was topped with smoked glass."
For more pictures, check into CasaSugar soon, as she is promising more pictures. You can also see a full write-up on Carrie's fab apartment makeover (plus notes about the other ladies' places) in the new issue of Traditional Home, on news stands now
