Trying to make this one look acceptable. A scene that looked (SOUNDED!) much better if you were actually there.

Hello guys!
well wow, we had such a fun time shooting this! We even filmed a little bit of it! You guys should check it out :) But anyways it was FREEZING while taking this and the wind didn't make it any better. But we still had a blast. This photo has been in my journal for probably over a year now. And we had the perfect opportunity to do it! So yeah I'm pretty stoked about that!
I hold on to the fragments of my known
Reality, in fear of letting go, of understanding
That it has changed.
Or is it me that has changed? And then
These fragments of memories are coming
Like a surf and washes away.
And when their gone I am left
With some other sort of
Reality.
Or maybe its only my limited ability to
Change an inherited point of view even
When I have no other option?

Un domingo aburrido para estar en casa . . . nada mejor que plasmar el momento
magico, y la mente despejar . . . . . en la imagen capturé los campos a las afueras
del pueblo, donde plantan trigo, y en primavera abundan las *amapolas*.

Canon EOS 400D Digital + Canon EF-S 18 ÷ 55mm f/3.5 ÷ 5.6

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...

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...
Isn't she a beauty? No, not the photo, this red-backed spider, Latrodectus hasselti. The photo is rubbish. What? Did you expect something better when I was lying on my back and peering up into a control box filled with valves, pipes, filters, wires, solenoids and three messy red-backed spiders. Think yourself lucky that I did this well!
We are all born lucky. The odds against our conception, birth, and survival to adulthood are astronomical. But we did, so let's get on with it.
How many times have I heard: "But you live so far away…couldn't you come here"? Yes, but it's just as far for me, and if you're whining like that, what motivation are you offering? Then there's the "Oh, no you have so many 'poisonous' things out to kill me". The latter might have a grain of truth. Could it be your whining that's motivating that emotion? I don't condone such thoughts, by the way, and we can explore that, if you like.
We have sharks: great white, tiger, bull. All can give you a nasty nip. Consider this: they are cosmopolitan species, not unique to this Great South Land. Could it be the habit of popping into the sparkling warm waters on golden sandy beaches that puts bite-sized temptation in their fishy way more frequently that if the water is murky, brown and frigid? No one will force you to come here and enjoy yourself. That's up to you.
Besides, horses, bees, domestic dogs and lightning kill more people than sharks. It's got something to do with their disinclination to come ashore for a snack. There are no extant predators that fill that role. No wolves, tigers, lions or bears. Okay, there are drop bears. You might get a concussion, a compression fracture of your vertebrae, or a nasty fright. I haven't seen one for a while. You should be safe.
Snakes? Arguably the most dangerous snake in the World is the eastern brown snake. Sea snakes are pretty bad too. But because you've decided to avoid the water, well, stop worrying about them. I've been struck at multiple times by brown snakes. Not once has any of them connected. I wouldn't be writing this if they had; possibly. One bit Bessie outside my door. With a bit of help, she lived. Dangerous? I guess. But you don't see one every day, just occasionally, and usually as they are slithering about on some mission involving a rodent they can swallow. Never has one hunted me for food, or attempted to swallow me. Don't think you can escape by going into the water. They are good swimmers too. Instead, stand still and wait till they go away.
Crocodiles, blue ringed octopus and stingers? See shark, above. Yes you might be stalked by a saltwater crocodile on land, if you are that clumsy that you repeat habitual behaviours, day after day, in the same place, and the salty is hungry. They can wait for you to do something dumb. The slow metabolism that enables that patience also means you just need to go somewhere cooler to avoid them. Oh, and yes, as you are already avoiding water: somewhere cold.
Mass casualty events? There aren't any active volcanoes anywhere you'd know. Ever heard of, err Heard Island? No, I guessed that. If you rank those that have happened, the massacre of our continent's original human inhabitants tops the list; multiple times. Ship wrecks are up there, and hostile foreign aggression, once; other times, not so much. The toll against POW escapees was bigger. Some floods have been deadly, and there's one nasty earthquake that hit a built-up area. That was ugly, and a bridge collapsed when a commuter train hit a bridge stanchion. A family member attended in an official capacity. That left many scars.
Our biggest civilian incident was a deranged individual with a semi-automatic weapon in 1996. Those weapons are banned now. And recently, there was another incident. In between? Nothing on the scale that wears the label mass casualty. Why? You might have to visit to understand that, and take note of the policy and practice which limits the likelihood of these things.
Here's some numbers about mass casualties. You watch the news. You've already seen stuff around the world. Here, we've had two events in 29 years. Every loss was someone, a person of equal value. They worked, paid taxes, studied, had aspirations, were part of the economy and society. We mourn them all. Just in 2025, this tragic year, there has been one event too many in a country of around 27 million lives. One per capita: 1/27,000,000. In a socially comparable country, there has been a mass casualty frequency of 1/875,000 people. Where would you feel safer? Thirty one times safer?
Back with the wildlife, we also have the nastiest venomous spider in the World. This isn't it. The Sydney Funnel-web is endemic to the sandstone country of the Sydney Basin. That's a big area! Yet almost as many people have seen a drop bear as has encountered one of these spiders. They can kill you, as sure as a drop bear can. I'd rather take my chances with the spider. The last verified death by envenomation by a red-backed spider was in 1956. They are so timid, they'll roll up and play dead if you poke them. I poked this one, and the other female here in this control box too. The male ran off somewhere; such is their bravado. I picked both of those girls up and took them away where I could not harm them, and let them go. My greatest discomfort was negotiating the return to vertical after lying supine to get this picture!
Perception and reality can be divergent.
“The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.”
The Gran Hotel occupies the extreme southern end of this side, and while it appears to be the same building as that which contains the Hotel Majestic, in reality it is separate. This building came into being as the "Mercantile Center" in 1899, built for Jose de Teresa, a merchant and ambassador of Mexico in Austria. At the end of the 19th century, Mexico made strides to modernize; one way of doing this was by introducing new building techniques. It was the first building built using the "Chicago" technique, using iron and concrete and was home to one of the first department stores in Mexico City. The interior of the hotel maintains most of the original decor created for when it was a department store. It is a decorated lavishly in the Art Nouveau style.

These are winter backroads that I never, ever drive on, lol! In fact, it has been so long since I drove outside the city, that I can't even remember. As you can imagine, it's so difficult or impossible to know just where the road ends and the ditch begins. You certainly wouldn't want to be part way up the hill when another vehicle appeared over the top in the opposite direction! However, Tony, driving just a small car, did brilliantly! This is another winter scene taken on 5 January 2014, when three of us spent a whole day driving in such conditions, searching for birds to add to our list for the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count. We covered one quadrant of the large circle around the town of Nanton. As you can see, the weather was bright and sunny for us that day. What you can't see was that it was brutally cold that day! On the hour-long drive south of Calgary, we hit -34C (-29.2F)!!!!! It did eventually warm up a few degrees and thankfully, there was no or very little wind, which makes all the difference. The only walking we had to do was when we called in at various farms and homesteads. One backroad in particular had too much snow on it, so we had to leave that one out. Also, there was just too much snow in many of the farmyards, so we weren't able to check out all the trees and bushes as thoroughly as we would like to have done. I absolutely love the scenery on this Count. Not sure where all the Hawks and Owls were hiding that day, but we did see 2 Golden Eagles and 2 Bald Eagles, plus various smaller species.
After driving (being driven, for me, which was pure luxury) the backroads from about 8:00 a.m. till around 4:00 p.m., we returned to the wonderful home of the Truch family. Not only do Bill and Leah Truch and their son, Mike, always welcome everyone with open arms, they also provide a much-appreciated breakfast snack for us and then, at the end of the day, a delicious supper. Have to say that I love travelling these scenic backroads, but I also really enjoy getting together with everyone afterwards to thoroughly enjoy a delicious supper. One of my favourite Bird Counts and perhaps the most favourite. Thanks so much for doing all the driving, Tony, and thanks, Leah, Bill and Mike for all the effort and time you put into your warm welcome! Can't wait for next Christmas!
A photo a friend of mine took while I was spinning a set in VR.
Neat detail: I have screens/overlays in vr showing me two things,
1. Using my webcam pointed at my mixer in RL, I can see my mixer in VR. Angle the overlay screen overtop of the fake vr mixer and now I see my true mixing board in vr space.
2. Same idea but for my software. Capturing my software window into an overlay, I now in vr, I see my software right above the mixer.
Combine this with controllerless hand tracking, and that's how I DJ in vr without taking my headset off, and you get stuff like this image :D

My portoflio was published on the issue 22 of the Camerapixo Magazine... happy about this, here the link:
“The more stupid one is, the closer one is to reality. The more stupid one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence squirms and hides itself. Intelligence is unprincipled, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.”

Due to a minor derailment in Boston on Wednesday DOBO didn't run overnight. Thursday's New Hampshire Northcoast gravel train ended up making a rare morning run out of Ossipee. Despite being delayed for track work in Rochester, the train made a very early arrival in Dover allowing for this view that is normally shadowed by the time the train arrives. The good news was the GP18 was back out on the road today, the bad news was the FURX unit was leading!

September 29, 2016
on the tarmac, reality and reflection converge in a dance of motion and stillness. a plane, cradled in the golden arms of the terminal’s embrace, becomes an echo on the sunlit glass—a doppelgänger caught between takeoff and touchdown. hues of industry and azure blend above, where another craft, borne from the realms of digital alchemy, floats in the boundless canvas of the sky. here, in malpensa's gateway, stories unfold in whispers of winged chariots, ferrying dreams across the globe.
