Sorry for the poor photo with the flash glare, I'm in a hurry!
I have used this photo before and it always makes me feel reflective so I thought this was appropriate for the challenges I am facing right now in ALL areas of my life!
So glad LOAD is back to refocus my life to the important things! Thank you Lain! :)
Long Exposure Fireworks - refocus during exposure. Taken during Philippines' performance at the Grands Feux du Lac Leamy, Gatineau. August 17, 2013.
Hover fly (male). Large and banded in high contrast. To view in 3D gently cross your eyes until you are seeing three blurred square images in line. Pay attention to the one in the middle and wait for your brain to refocus your eyes on the screen. When that happens you will know - your visual system will lock on to the image in 3D.

You owe no one anything. It is not your obligation to give someone your time. No one should feel guilt for not explaining themselves. Answer to yourself. You are the only judge that matters.

On Location Editorial Photography in Phoenix Arizona - Just for FUN (Funography)
A photograph of myself and friends from Refocus Phoenix. Refocus is all about getting out and making photos with friends. The theme was (sort of) parking garages, however we found that many corporate parking garages weren't to keen on us hanging out, however we had a great time doing some other cool stuff.

Sometimes you just need to refocus on what is important. For me that is God's word as written in Scripture. The Bible used is from my Catholic High Days. Although this wasn't my original Bible, as it was taken as a prank, I managed to get this one shortly after and it has been with me since my graduation from Catholic High. I don't wear glasses yet, these are props I use when I want to look a little different when I model for other photographers.
This series of pictures is for my participation in Baltimore's "Fun-a-Day" Project. "Fun-a-Day" is an annual event happening all around the country! 18 locations, including Philadelphia, California, many more!
Baltimore's Fun-A-Day will take place, February 25th, at Brick Haus Art Space. 2606 Greenmount Avenue, Baltimore, Md 21218. from 4-9 p.m.

I LOVE the film Carmen Jones . This film and its precursor Broadway hit - both featuring an all-black cast - are based on Georges Bizet's classic operatic tale of love and obsession, Carmen.The film helps me refocus on the never-ending battle to learn and apply its simple lesson.
What's consistent throughout all variations on Bizet's story (which itself was based on a novella) - including a 2001 hip-hop version starring Beyonce - is the object lesson on the dangers of misguided love/lust/unbridled passion. Fire or a flame is frequently used in promotions of performances, for good reason.
I can and do freely admit I have on more than one occasion allowed myself to be consumed by the thought of someone - or even the idea of being WITH someone. Often, the woman who has ignited that dangerous flame in me could be described the way Carmen describes herself in this song.
But I remain grateful that I am LEARNING a very important distinction:
What Carmen is describing? Dat's FALSE Love. What I really want (and hopefully deserve)? Dat's TRUE Love.
Dat's Love
as performed in the 1954 motion picture Carmen Jones
starring Dorothy Dandridge, 1922 - 1965, and Harry Belafonte, 1927 -
(vocals by Marilyn Horne, 1934 - )
(song adapted from the Carmen aria, Habanera)
Love's a baby dat grows up wild,
An' he don' do what you want him to;
Love ain' nobody's angel child,
An' he won' pay any mind to you.
One man gives me his diamon' stud,
An' I won' give him a cigarette.
One man treats me like I was mud~
An' what I got dat man c'n get.
(Refrain:)
Dat's love!
Dat's love!
Dat's love!
Dat's love!
You go for me an' I'm taboo,
But if yore hard to get I go for you,
An' if I do, den you are through, boy,
My baby, dat's de end of you,
De end of you!
So take your cue, boy,
Don' say I didn't tell you true.
I tol' you true,
I tol' you truly,
If I love you dat's de end of you!
When your lovebird decides to fly
Dere ain' no door dat you c'n close.
She jus' pecks you a quick good-bye
An' flicks de salt from her tail, an' goes.
If you listen, den you'll get taught,
An' here's your lesson for today:
If I chase you, den you'll get caught,
But once I got you I go my way!
(Repeat Refrain)
