Walking along the prom to retrieve my car after a party. Spotted this bloke and his dog out for some early morning perambulation through the debris of the recent storms and took a couple of shots.
I didn't even notice the splashes of reflected colour until I'd got it off the camera! Beer + Brain + Late Night = ? + ! + *
It's kind of apt, really, given the Sony paint splash adverts!
This is not hugely retouched. I've used the LAB colour popping technique to brighten it up a bit (which results in the slightly surreal sky) and slightly tweaked the contrast of the pebbly area. Oh, and I've cloned out a pole from the guys head.
Esse foi o up escolhido pro esmalte Nero, da Crush. Uma camada só desse PP sobre ele e todo o efeito duplo - duochrome e holográfico - apareceu lindamente!
Consigo perceber as cores azul, roxo e verde durante todo o tempo. Infelizmente não consegui foto dele ao sol pra evidenciar o lado holográfico, mas ele aparece mesmo em luz artificial e pude curtir mesmo assim.
Achei maravilhoso e fico olhando pras unhas o tempo todo!
E imaginar que já tivemos representantes assim na indústria nacional... (hits mari moon, ludurana supernova) - uau. Ainda bem que tenho alguns aqui pra mim, rsss... Esse veio emprestadinho da Cata <3...

The fabulous Carly Hildebrant emits beautiful movement once again. I've learned to keep my mouth from sounding, and instead let the double exposure speak for me.

This was supposed to be Bella's photo shoot to get a Christmas picture for her daddy. Bella wasn't cooperating, she wanted off the chair and Julianna wanted on. Once she climbed on I noticed the obvious, it was a perfect match for her outfit! This is the ONLY pic I got of her looking at me. I love it when life just works like that.
I was not even looking at the plate when this happened. I was reading while gathering together the flaky pieces from a wheat cereal bar spread with treacle which I had been eating. Had a happy surprise when I saw an "angel"?" Chinese dancer?" left on the plate.
During my last two trips to New York, I had for some reason visited the Manhattan end of the Queensboro Bridge, and on both occasions I've passed by the Serendipity III Restaurant & General Store.
The famous place was made more so by a 2001 romcom (romatic comedy) named Serendipity, featuring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

Happy Waterfall Wednesday everyone. Total serendipity. I was shooting the White Salmon river when this native wildlife came into view.

I had been to Goa before few times before. It was always fun, but most beaches were always packed with tourists and locals. I used to dream of finding beaches where there would be no one but just me!
This time, I took matters into my own hands - got Goa's map and started scouting for those kind of beaches. I had asked couple of people about such beaches and they told me that I could not find such a place in Goa, because these days everything had become too commercialized.
But I still had hope.
Then someone tipped me about some beaches to the North of Goa. I had never been to the North side and wanted to explore. So I packed my camera gear and a map and headed North at 8 am - pretty early to be going to a beach! But again I thought that would work in my favor because less people would frequent beaches at that time.
On the way to Morgim beach, which is the first beach in North Goa, I couldn't help but notice turquoise water to the left. It wasn't Morgim beach where people go but it sure seemed interesting enough as I saw a blue boat docked to the shore. Also it looked like the whole place was abandoned.
I parked my bike in the shade and moments later found myself looking at this beautiful sight. It was somewhat like a piece of memory from my dream - a beautiful beach all to myself. And this was just the beginning. As the day progressed, I hopped to few other beaches which were equally beautiful and there was almost no one around. The heat all day was pretty intense and getting tanned was inevitable. But everything was worth it when I returned home and looked at the photographs.

After our morning drive to Enix and Felix and great mountain views we've decided to go and see the sunset by the Mediterranean Sea. What a spectacle that was, even without cumulus clouds that would make it more interesting. The sound of the waves hitting the beach always makes me relax and open my senses. One can completely forget ones worries and just give oneself to Mother Nature and let her do what she pleases.. It is SUCH a pity I don't have a beach near by...

While shooting a video for our environmental science subject, my group found this empty lot near my friend's house. It was actually the first time I've been to some empty place filled with cow dung and different kinds of plants. It was a fun experience trying to dodge all the cow poop and finally seeing a bit more of nature for the first time. I've been longing to get to some place closer to nature and this little trip sort of quenched my thirst.
Anyway, I can't really edit this photo well because my computer is at its almost-dying state. :( I really can't use photoshop for more than 30 mins because whenever I do, my computer just keeps on dying. So although this is not how I want this photo to look like, it will do for now. It's sort of a candid shot anyway, so yeah. Haha, thanks to my group mate, Aerenz for being my model even though she doesn't know it. :)
I hope you people will like this ... and also i have a facebook page which is quite dead i need your help to make it feel aliveeeee!!! :P
There is an element of serendipity to light leaks. They may be highly irritating ... or sometimes they blend in with the rest of the image. These three persons walking in front of me were out of focus anyway, but the atmosphere of light flirtation is still retained...

The future is called "perhaps," which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the only important thing is not to allow that to scare you. ~Tennessee Williams
At present I'm jobless!
This morning I went to the convocation of the teachers to choose the place in Tuscany (as all the other teachers do in Italy in every region every year at the end of august when they don't have yet a permanent contract from the Ministry of Education -like me) and I ( and many other colleagues) discovered that this year the Ministry cut more than half of the available positions comparing to last years. So a lot of people became jobless!
Just because I was the first jobless of the list, when all the other available positions were chosen by teacher before me in the list, I have the highest chances to be called in the next weeks for some position, which will be probably added later.
What to say?
This is the crisis. I decided not to worry, to wait and see what happens.
Perhaps it's a sign of destiny telling me my life will go in other directions.
Everything became temporary, actually life itself is temporary (!) and I decided long time ago to adapt myself to this state of affairs!
I took this shot yesterday during my trip on the Salerno -Reggio Calabria (italians know what I'm talking about): an highway where there are more interruptions that free stretch of road, with works that are going on for at least 20 years and where, going slower than a turtle, you can take a lot of shots like this because at least the view is wonderful!!! :)))
It was then that she realises that perhaps, something beyond her quixotic instincts and shabby mishaps was bringing her towards something spectacular, entirely unexpected;
that there was perhaps an ineffable reason behind that which drew her, entranced all in her sphere;
and all in their imperfections were nothing short of wondrous, still, even if they were no more than a vision or a whim in passing.

A wonderful afternoon spent in the Dorset Wildlife Trust reserve on Brownsea Island included several serendipitous, close and prolonged encounters with Red Squirrels. See also: www.flickr.com/photos/stevejm2009/4717899599/
I'll introduce you to some more photos of these gorgeous characters throughout the week ahead. www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/
Wandering the backroads this morning when we saw a lady frantically waving from the side of the road. I stopped, she said "have you seen the sunflowers?" (frantically pointing over her shoulder).
In truth I would have driven right by. Thank you Margaret-Ann for pointing the way !
Chosen, by me, as my "Photo of the Weekend" and Blogged
I was busy photographing dragonflies when I looked up and realized I was being watched.
