When experimental becomes just mental, it is time to take a few steps back, return to the solid ground, collect the confidence and try again. To achieve happiness requires work, but it is possible. Maybe more difficult is to recognize it...

Colour photos suit the times when Ivy (my Mum) briefly recognises me. It may last seconds, maybe two minutes then its gone. She goes back into another World, her private World.

I am so honoured to be presented with a certificate of recognition from sorority Delta Theta Nu. This means so much to me!

 

I was so shocked and very blown away to be told "You are seen". It brought tears to my eyes as life is not easy. Yet we still make the best of every situation and push through trying our best to sprinkle positivity. Thank you once again to the ladies of DTN! I appreciate you all so much ♥

As seems to happen over and over, I quite literally stumbled upon this scene the other evening. I was working a local car show that was nearing its conclusion. The setting sun was providing magnificent shadows and backlighting. As the sun was on the verge of disappearing behind the roof of the background building, I happened upon this gentleman standing in the bed of a monster pickup truck as he was furling his flags. I asked him to hold the flag aloft and wave it around. Shooting directly into the sun I really couldn't see much, I just locked in the focus and exposure and let the shutter go on continuous mode for several frames. I thanked him and moved on, unaware of what I had captured until the following day. This was the takeaway image. The gesture and flag position, the rays overhead and the sun glowing like an orb. Doubt I could have posed this any better had I planned for it.

Sitting on the window-sill and enjoying the low afternoon sun. Illuminated and in sharp focus is the "good" eye, the one I use for photography. The other one plays second fiddle. However, none of them was really involved in taking this self-portrait. It was the artificial eye of the camera in connection with a clever algorithm (automatic eye recognition) that kicked in when I pressed the shutter release (via a long cable). This is one of the situations where camera technology enables me to do things with ease that, if done manually, would have been quite difficult to achieve.

Sending sympathy and love to those affected by the California fires.

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

 

Perhaps I am beginning to understand that white silence is violence.

 

Australia's history is problematic for 232 years, and counting. Though we can be proud of the 59,768 years before that; before colonization.

I was appalled as a child when I learnt in 1966 that we had not previously counted our First Nations People in our population census. I was just a kid and it seemed simple to me: you count all the people and you come up with a number for the total population. Why weren't we counting all the people?

 

So the years passed and I grew up and my learning became more sophisticated and I was confronted with the legal concept of terra nullius. A latin term meaning "land that is legally deemed to be unoccupied or uninhabited". So that is how Australia is occupied: with no recognition of any indigenous inhabitants. WTF! This kid is increasingly uncomfortable with this history.

 

I am ashamed today that my country continues to allow a disproportionate rate of black deaths in custody.

 

We need to change. I look forward to sacrifices to my white privilege in order to achieve this.

Recent research in Cambridge has shown that sheep can recognise human faces when encouraged by a wee treat, such as Baa-rack Obama’s and Emma Watson’s. Our neighbours may of recognized me, but they were not used to me jumping into their space in order to shoot the setting sun.

 

A Cokin diffuser filter was used on camera.

A recognition for "Can I come in" one of my miniature works.

Glaub nicht dais ich werbe.

Engel, und wurb uch duch aych! Du kommst nicht. Denn mein

Anruf ist immer voll Hinweg; wider so starke

Stromung kannstdu nicht schreiten. Wie ein gestreckter

Arm ist mein Rufen. Und seine zum Greifen

oben offene Hand bleibt vordir

offen, wie Abwehr und Warnung.

Unfislicher, weitauf.

This is a National Site of Recognition for Thalidomode Victims and Their Families. It lists a timeline of how the tragedy unfolded. In 2020 the Australian Government acknowledged the victims and provides lifetime support to the survivors ( how many decades later!)

I went to see my Brother today.

 

He later admitted that he didn't recognise me when he answered the door. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing...

A certificate of achievement in calligraphy waiting to be awarded.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

(Note: Typically, I immediately eliminate any photo w/a sun flare. In this case, slight as it is, it seemed to serve an appropriate accent. Comments, of course, welcome...)

i was blown away by the quality of this street art on the side of a 10 story building in Sydney.

 

It is the striking face of Aboriginal elder Jenny Munro, a campaigner of aboriginal rights, painted by acclaimed street artist Matt Adnate.

 

Framed by dripping blue, black and red paint, Ms Munro looks into the distance with a mountain sunrise painted in her irises.

 

The portrait of Ms Munro took Adnate five days to paint, and It's a face filled with reflection and strong resolve.

In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.

Happy Pakistan Day.
