I would never call myself a car nut or car enthusiast, to be honest. A friend and I saw an advert for a car show some time back and we decided it was a good way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon. Our very first time at a vintage car show and it didn't disappoint.
So I have decided to start doing more things outside of my regular comfort zone. Never in a million years did I think about cars as a subject but trying something new is always Let's see how that goes. My blog post explains in a bit more detail and I've included the link to it in this caption.
I am so proud of this one, guys. Because this isn't the original image. This is actually a composite because I removed the background which was full of cars and people and changed the boring sky to this gorgeous blue. It's not perfect But I'm happy for the practice. Sometimes, you have to make your own reality....know what I mean? It's more about the craft and the feeling sometimes. ;)
To all of you, enjoy the weekend and have an awesome week ahead, wherever you are!

You have experienced intense harm and evil so devastating that you find yourself questioning reality. It’s so easy for you to question yourself, to believe this means you are weak and it comes more naturally to turn this inward and severely criticize yourself. And you’re doing the hard work of looking for beauty and goodness wherever you can discover it and finding ways to try to express and validate your very real experience when you can’t find words for it. Maybe that is strength.

Recently I became very fascinated by digital pinhole photography. This image was created with a modified pinhole body cap. I think I’m drawn to this type of photography because I feel it relates to my life and it seems to teach me far beyond photography. There are strict limitations that can drastically alter how images are captured and the final outcome of the photos, there is a lack of clarity compared to how I normally capture images with a lens, it’s difficult to predict exactly how the image will look and beauty and meaning can be found in the process and the final photo. It gives me a chance to practice embracing the unfamiliar, change, finding beauty in imperfection and growing in new ways.
____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.
Mumbai has seen a surge in wall art and murals, with local art schools transforming the city into their canvas. Creativity takes flight as facades burst into a plethora of vibrant hues. The wall seen here belongs to an old, dilapidated fish warehouse at Sassoon Dock— and what a stunning makeover it is !

Desgraciadamente esta es una realidad de la que no podemos escapar. Nuestra gente en especial nuestra juventud cae presa de las drogas, y es poco lo que los gobiernos pueden hacer para resolver esta problematica. Espero esta foto levante conciencia en todos aquellos con sensibilidad hacia estos semejantes!!!
Ah, I have to face reality, this is winter in Toronto, Canada and it is extremely cold! "Humber Bay Park is a waterfront park located in Etobicoke, part of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The park consists of two landspits situated at the mouth of Mimico Creek." Wikipedia
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend:)

A small but fantastic monument - an "iron painter" standing in front of an empty frame. Behind you can see the german river Elbe from your own perspective.
Take a close look at this little girl with the toffee apple. She was there standing against that wall, but now she isn't. The photographer who made this installation is playing games with our minds. I wish I knew their names - the photographer and the little girl, but in the end the point's been made.

Monte Verena, alba. Le montagne lontane, ammantate di brume, creano un effetto illusorio di infinito orizzonte.

Special thanks to encounter - Laura and hibbary for the textures.
Montreux, Switzerland. This is the view from the promenade that follows lake Geneva's shoreline. During this time of the year, there is a fantastic Christmas market along here. (You can just see some of the tents if you look carefully.) There was some fog about, which is why it's a little hazy. The pinkish clouds seem to be a result of pointing the lens pretty much into the sun. Left them like that, as I liked the effect, but in reality I don't remember them being that pink.

Homer: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who traveled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home. . . --Homer's Odyssey, Book I
The New Dungeness Lighthouse is a 5 mile trek along the Dungeness spit. Someone created driftwood directional markers at the foot path to the lighthouse that read Welcome to Serenity and Reality 5 miles. Leave Serenity behind while the tides are low or that 5 miles back to reality will be a harsh reality.
HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY!
I have not SLUD for quite a while. It's nice to be back.
These "flames" are sort of the opposite of shadows. The are the images made when winter afternoon sunlight filters into my garden apartment:
The light is first filtered through bare winter limbs of a of a garden bush. It comes in through a floor-level frosted window, and then through the metal ranks of an old-fashioned floor-standing hot water radiator.
I did a lot of sliding of various kinds so that you can see what I saw. I really like the result, I hope that you do too,

you can change reality with a little faith.

I'm going through a 'bird phase' for some reason.
I have three more. hm. not sure why.
Anyways, back to my weak coffee and planning my daily chores. haha. fuuuuunnnn vacation. ;-)

Periodically atmospherics cast an otherworldly panorama. This image was shot about an hour after sunrise on the Washington side of the mouth of the Columbia River.
I trudged through the snow to photograph these two cars, one passenger (Maine Central) and one freight ... and, yes, this is the way they looked in reality. Thus the title ... Surrealistic Realities. The coloring on these old rail cars looked so surreal as to be utterly fascinating to capture with my camera. This, like many of my recent rail related shots, is on the freight line leading to the Hoosac Tunnel in Massachusetts.
After a wonderful holiday season it is time to get back to the realities of every day life. Here is wishing you simplicity, peace, and love in dealing with what the New Year brings.
Cold,wet and a bit miserable. I'm glad the snow has receded for now,after two months of it the novelty has worn off slightly.
For her, day-to-day thoughts have nothing to do with the conflict in Iraq.
They don't involve gas prices, future career choices, or the upcoming election.
The greatest decision she has right now is this: Should Suzy's dress be blue, pink, or perhaps yellow?
That is her reality. Pure, simple, sweet reality.
Let's go with pink...
(Thanks, AlexEdg, for the texture)

Just looked at this ORKUT website. I'm glad such sickness is not part of our childrens' reality. Absolutely makes my stomach turn. I have a flickr friend, bullfrogs*and*butterflies who has a child featured on one of the profiles there. The fake profile actually shows a "sexiness rating" of 2 1/2 hearts! So sad...
