This is an attempt to reprocess some data from 2011 based on a new processing workflow I developed while working on my recent Sword of Orion shot. The original light frames captured some light pollution, which shows here, but I wanted to see if more nebulosity could be seen using the new workflow - which it could!
The M45 "Pleiades" star cluster (a.k.a. "Seven Sisters") is an open star cluster in Taurus. The stars are relatively new, having been formed within the last 100 million years or so, and there is a nebula or dust cloud which the stars are currently passing through.

Barbie and Skipper
Skipper comes home from school
Skipper === Hey Barbie, I'm home.
Barbie === Hey Skipper. How was school?
Skipper === It was good. Had lunch with Nikki and Courtney. That was they highlight of my day other than cheer practice. How was yours?
Barbie === Everyone knows about me and Ken...
Skipper === What?? How?
Barbie === I don't know...
Skipper === You think he said anything?
Barbie === I don't know. It would be unlike him to do so... But then again, I have a lot more to lose than he does.
Skipper === Well I mean.. he did lie to you all this time.
Barbie === I really don't want to think about it right now. As long as the entire truth doesn't come out, I'm okay with that.
Skipper === I understand... Hey!! Lets order pizza and catch some flicks on Netflix.
Barbie === Okay, I would love that actually.
Skipper === Okay. Let me go change first.
The only thing missing at this point is the drop-leg holster, otherwise, this is prolly what we're going with: s4x7 polo shirt, black, TRU desert digi pants, Tru-Spec chest rig in Coyote, an assortment of pouches in coyote or multicam. DI is also wearing the Hybrid gloves from WileyX, and the XL-1 Advanced goggles with Rx transition lenses. See www.darkthreads.com/ or contact sales@darkthreads.com for more info.
For somebody who hates to shave, I sure did take my fair share of shaving pics throughout the 1st 365 Days project. hmm. Go figure.
Really like how the colors turned out in this one. Still not 100% happy w/ the shadow. If I had kept the originals, I would have reassembled it from scratch.
This is in honor of my son who is serving with U.S. forces in Afghanistan. He is paying the price for me to be an American.
James, I'm proud of you and I hold you in great Reverence.
Update: James is about a month from getting out of Afghanistan. He recently received an Army metal for Valor due to his actions in the rescue of an Afgani soldier in combat.

Thanks to the good people in the Photography Critique group, this is likely my final edit of "Circle" (this version having a perspective change from "Circle (redux)"). Dug out an ancient copy of Photoshop Elements 4.0 to add a strip of pure black along the top to give room for a rotational crop; besides that, this image is mostly untouched. A lonely streetlamp on a dark night, illuminating some street and tracks.
Heart, love, veins.
Available Redux in Portland OR in February 2011http://www.reduxpdx.com/index.html
I recently inadvertently deleted many photos from my photostream. I've been trying to retrieve as many of them as I could - it hasn't been easy... Like this one, I've marked the 'deleted' photos as 'redux'. I lost all of the information that goes with a photo, including the faves and comments I received. I'm merely putting them back in my photostream so they are not lost forever. I've turned off the comments for each of them.
A detail of the stairwell in the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. I like that place for all the lines and the light coming from all sides. I feel, though, there is too much going on. This all glass and steel structure appears very light but at the same time there is always another angle, another wire, bar, or whatever that disturbs the perspective that I have just found. So, I will keep looking.
