Not so sure about this but i had a little idea going on in my head in the bath, as usual. Just wanted to try this shot out. It's something i want to retry but maybe in a sequence. So this would be one of the shots as i am going under the water. Kind of sums up how i feel at the moment. I am still not well, hence the state of my face haha.

Spiders dangle in the shadows of the DYC* photographed safely several feet away from the cliff edge at Panorama Point in the Maze. Without any thought of his own safety, Mamoudou Gassama with spiderlike agility, scaled four floors of a Paris apartment building in seconds to save a 4 year old child dangling from the balcony. His selfless bravery earned the Mali immigrant an offer of French citizenship and a job as a firefighter. What a bright spot of humanity!
*Thanks, Courtney and Bill, for declaring DYC Day and inspiring this post!
Sacrifice: an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy.
People since the beginning, have been wondering what is the greatest sacrifice.
Some people would say its giving up everything for there kids for there happiness and success. Others would say its giving up there job, there money for others. But the real sacrifice must be a question of life and death.
The biggest sacrifice is giving up your life, something that you can never get back, for someone else. It is the most selfless action that exist.
Today, doing something that is for the sake of something/someone else is disappearing. Because we are so caught up with ourselves, we never think about the other 6 billion people on this planet. I personally think that this thinking is not helping anything. This is one of the reasons why war, pain, depression and ultimately death continues to exist. Because we are unwilling to help the person next to us instead of thinking of ourselves.
On another note, something very cool is happening today. I meeting with the head pro photographer for the magazine Worldwide Challenge. He has been the photographer for this magazine for over 25 years. We are going to shoot studio portraits. Im very happy for this!
Have a great Day!

For so long,
I saw only wrong.
But now, to remind.
It's a waste of time.
Close your eyes and see the skies are falling.
I wanted something.
Nothing, blank I don't know?
It's all deflecting.
Stones are easy to throw.
Only a moment I notice,
hours, days left behind.
Of wasted, useless,
selfless, none of a kind.
For so long,
I saw only wrong.
But now, to remind.
Not to go, back to the low.
That has drained my life so low.

Had my first photo shoot yesterday with a friend and his family. They aren't butterflies, trains, or basic inanimate objects so I learned a whole lot of what to do and especially what not to do! If they happen to read this... thanks guys for helping me develop as a photographer!
Love has nothing to take but everything to give
There is not just one world – there are millions upon millions of worlds – and within all these worlds the eternal spirit soul wanders through the various species of life. Sometimes he takes the form of a human, sometimes a tree, and sometimes a creeper or an animal. in the course of his wandering, if he is fortunate, he receives the association of pure devotees.
If you want to make your life successful, happy, and peaceful, then try to give all of your love and affection to God and, with God in the center, give your love and affection to all living beings. Don’t try to control others by your order or your thoughts. Try to give your whole being. Love has nothing to take but everything to give.
The first point is that if we want to show love to others, it is essential not to cause them any pain or suffering, or to burden them for our personal happiness or maintenance. Our first concern is for the happiness and satisfaction of others.
We want to be completely selfless in our dealings, and for this, we have the example of the tree, which gives its bark, roots, fruits, leaves, wood, and shade. The tree offers everything to others with no expectation of remuneration. Why can’t we human beings be so selfless?
Eddie Ewing and Marge Nicholds-Ewing, ca. 1924, Los Angeles Co., CA. Caption on left: "How's this for a drib snap HUH?" (spelling as recorded); Caption on right: "Guess who this is?" Marge, my maternal Grandmother, and Eddie, my Grandfather, were 21 and 20, respectively. Marge was born near Bath, England in October 1902, and Eddie was born in Ontario, Canada, in October 1903. They both immigrated into the U.S. and were eventually naturalized as U.S. citizens. These photos are from an album Eddie assembled and partially labeled of their trip to Los Angeles and of their first years in L.A. They had only been married a short time during this period. My mother, their only child, was not born until March 1929. Marge and Eddie lived the life of the Roaring 20's, and Eddie played saxophone in jazz bands, at least for awhile.
Note how small the palm trees are in these photos. Anyone familiar with L.A. will remark at how tall the typical L.A. palms are today, compared to those seen here, 91 years later...
I was very close to my maternal grandparents, and with the turbulent relationship of my parents, a continuous crisis of separation, divorce and remarriage, my grandparents often seemed like my second parents. We lived with them more than once when my parents were split up. While they had their issues, Marge and Eddie were great people, and treated my mom and I, as well as my sister, Kerry Marie Egger, and, later, my brother Brian, with kindness and selfless devotion. They were together, through better and worse, until Marge died suddenly in 1969, at the age of 67. Ed died in 1981 at the age of 76. They both live in my heart always, as the ones who cared for me, took me traveling repeatedly to the Pacific Northwest, visiting the great National Parks and other scenic wonders. It is from them I learned to love nature, including plants. In later years, Marge was an enthusiastic gardener, and their backyard was a refuge of beautiful, exotic and interesting plants and spaces, even though they were not wealthy people, and never had a gardener that I remember. Both Marge and Eddie worked full-time in relatively humble, business-related careers throughout my childhood. Ed worked for some company whatever in downtown L.A. He kept the company's books, honestly, carefully and competently, for many years, but was terminated unfairly and harshly by some corporate dude... Left with next to nothing by them.
My mom, hard working, selfless, humble, and beautiful. She may sin at times, but she tries to be the best person she can be towards others. She puts others needs before anyone else's. She loves when there isn't anything to love. She follows and acts towards the word of God in hopes to be saved on Judgement Day, just so she can she see and hold her daughter, whom she lost after birth, again. She may hate me for posting this picture of her, but this picture of her will constantly remind me of the woman I was blessed with. Little does she know, her actions had made me become the man I am today. To put others before myself, to love when there isn't anything to love, and more importantly to love God. Because I too, want to see and hold my sister who gave me the opportunity to have the life she couldn't experience. Love you Mom!
"Sacred Heart of Jesus, teach me perfect selflessness since this is the only path to you. Since all I will do in the future will be yours, see to it that I do nothing that is not worthy of you. Teach me what I must do to attain the purity of your love, the desire for which you have inspired in me. I feel within me a deep desire to please you but am completely powerless ever to succeed in this aim without a very exceptional light and special help that I can only expect from you. Accomplish your will in me, Lord. I know I resist it, but it seems to me that I would truly like not to resist. It is you who will have to do it all, divine Heart of Jesus Christ; the glory of my sanctification will be yours alone if I become a saint. This seems clearer to me than the light of day, but it will be a great glory for you and it is for that reason alone that I wish to desire perfection."
– Prayer of St Claude La Colombière.

Quiet, like the snow.
And I know this isn't much but,
I know I could, I could be better.
I don't think I deserve it;
Selflessness.
Find your way into my heart.
All stars could be brighter.
All hearts could be warmer...♥

As you can probably tell, I took Sebastian and Emma with me for my week away. I also borrowed my sister's iPod, so expect a good amount of odd lyrics with pics :P
Wytherian soldiers are some of the toughest, most loyal, and selfless soldiers in all of of Historica. They always fight for the good of the realm and for their people and rightful king, whether it be guarding the king, patrolling the streets of Direhold, or even guarding the other cities and towns of Wytheria. Wytherian soldiers are always glad to fight alongside the Elves of Elgeria, other armies of Avalonia, and even to protect the King of Avalonia and other high Lords across Historica. They have a large Fortress at the base of the Alcan Mountains where soldiers will travel through the mountains aiding and rescuing individuals in need of protection against the Army of the Dead and Orcs.
👏 to the selfless work carried out by these amazing people around the coast of the UK.
The image shows a large mural painted on the side of the former Custom House Cafe in Weymouth, UK. The mural, created by artist Peter Sheridan, depicts the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat "Ernest and Mabel" (RNLI 17-32) on the water.
The mural was painted to commemorate the RNLI's 200th anniversary and depicts the lifeboat cutting through tumultuous waves.

The mural was unveiled in May 2025.

Flickr is messing with my colors, but its a little better on black
Look in our window
Sounds of arguing family
Thorns in our side
Painted in the blood
of the selfless
Shadows of ourself
Yet our roof still stands
forever a fan

Jay Heritage Center (JHC) Founder Catherine "Kitty" Aresty and New York Preservation Advocate, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel were recipients of the 1st Annual "John Jay Medal for Service" awarded at JHC's 20th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, October 13, 2012. In keeping with the legacy of one of America's greatest Founding Fathers, the John Jay Medal recognizes individuals who demonstrate a selfless spirit of commitment and engagement with their community.
As an early member of the Jay Coalition, Catherine "Kitty" Aresty helped harness the energy of thousands of volunteers and citizens to save the Jay Property when it was threatened by commercial development in the early 1980s. She was one of 5 dynamic women who formed the vanguard for preservation of the site, finally securing a victory in 1992 but her total commitment to seeing the property restored for public use extends more than 30 years including 22 consecutive years on the JHC Board.
Similarly, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel's career spans more than 40 years. She has been a pioneering champion of preservation and the arts, credited with bringing the first public art to Bryant Park and the first public performance to Central Park. The first Director of Cultural Affairs for New York City, she was the longest term Landmarks Commissioner in the city’s history, spanning four mayoral administrations from 1972 to 1987. Her expertise and advocacy of historic preservation has garnered her countless honors and prestigious appointments from nor fewer than 4 US Presidents. Dr. Diamonstein-Spielvogel is the current Vice Chair of the New York State Council on the Arts.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey and Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino served as Honorary Co-Chairs of the evening which drew over 170 people from Manhattan, Westchester and Greenwich to the National Historic Landmark site. While the event also marked an important 2 decade milestone for the organization, adding to the festive feeling was the recent announcement of a public private partnership between JHC, New York State Parks and Westchester County to manage and restore the entire 23 acre Jay estate as a historic park and educational resource.
See the announcement here:
www3.westchestergov.com/news/all-press-releases/4358-asto...
The site has been a member of Westchester County's African American Heritage Trail since 2004 and was added to the prestigious Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area following its nomination in 2008 by County Legislator Judy Myers.
JHC President Suzanne Clary commended the men, women and coalition of non-profits that first saved Jay's home but also emphasized the "new coalition" they are forming with other museums and preservation groups like the NY Preservation League, The Landmarks Conservancy, Audubon NY, the World Monuments Fund and more. Congresswoman Lowey recognized the power of bi-partisan support that continues to guide JHC's success. Ken Jenkins, Chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators presented a proclamation to both honorees and added his strong words of support for the Jay Heritage Center's mission to revitalize one of Westchester's premiere heritage destinations. Steve Otis, former Mayor of Rye brought accolades from Sen. Suzi Oppenhiemer and personally congratulated the two medal awardees on their vision and tenacity; he reminded the audience how dilapidated the Jay site was when first acquired and how miraculous its transformation had been under JHC's trusted stewardship. Both honorees gave moving remarks and thanks and underscored the continued need to stay "passionate" about preservation.
The theme of the night was Roaring 20s - guests dressed in everything from raccoon coats and spats to flapper dresses and boas made for an evening that was simply "the bees knees!" Proceeds benefit JHC educational programs.

Always the epitome of grace, Belle is enchanting in her golden silk gown and brings hope for a curse Prince who did not have love in his heart. And in a tale as old as time, Belle and Beast each learn acceptance, understanding and the meaning of true love.

In a pure and selfless act of love, I got my partner a fancy new ice cream/gelato maker and a few books to go with it for his birthday. :))
To all the brave & selfless men and women who have put on a uniform to defend freed, please accept my sincerest thanks.
In memory of my great-grandfather and his 3 brothers who selflessly gave their lives during the First World War.

The North Carolina Museum of Art has a large display of sculptures of French artist Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). This is my favorite. When I was there, the late afternoon sun coming in made every photo almost impossible. Neither the color nor the black and white convey the full impact of this masterful depiction of anguish. I never realized how much emotion can be conveyed in bronze. This viewing experience has enhanced appreciation of sculpture in general and of Rodin in specific.
Edward III, King of England, claimed authority over France at that time. In 1346 he began an 11-month siege of the port city of Calais in an early battle in the Hundred Years’ War. Unable to take the city by attack, Edward decided to starve the city into submission. His plan succeeded. He would spare the lives of the citizens of Calais if six of its prominent leaders would come to his encampment; they would be barefoot and without headwear, nooses around their neck, and hand over the keys to the city and beg for mercy. Six burghers ultimately volunteered in this act of selfless heroism. They expected to be executed but were saved through the intervention of England’s pregnant queen, Philippa of Hainault. She feared the killing of the burghers would be a bad omen for the birth of her child. Pierre de Wissant is one of those six burghers.
To honor this act of self-sacrifice, the city of Calais commissioned Rodin in 1885 to execute a monument. His finished work was The Burghers of Calais (Les Bourgeois de Calais). Rodin used the head of Pierre de Wissant alone in a larger-than life sculpture. The modeling of the head was done in 1884-1885 and enlarged in 1909. The figure in the North Carolina Museum of Art was cast in 1980 by the Musée Rodin.
The bust shows Pierre de Wissant with parted lips, eyes nearly shut, head leaning slightly to the side, and an elongated neck—all features contributing to the pathos of the situation of self-denial and sacrifice. His features reveal the emaciation resulting from the effort to starve out the city. His decision shows in the facial agony to sacrifice his life for his fellow citizens. Rodin remarkably creates a human being in flesh and blood using only bronze.

**Consider yourself tagged if you see this picture. Sorry if I missed anyone, just considered yourself tagged :)**
1.)Favorite Disney Princess: Belle! She is intellectual, Selfless and Doesn't care what other people think about her.
2.)Favorite Disney Movie which includes a Princess: Beauty and the Beast!
3. Which Disney Princess, not included in the official Princess cannon, should be added? Kida. To be honest I'm not a huge fan of Atlantis, but her I loved her as a character. Her design, her character, her personality.
4.) 4. Favorite Disney Princess song: "I Wonder" and "Part of Your world" (Reprise).
5. Which princess are you most like and why? Hm. I'd have to go with Cinderella. Most of childhood and youth I was always the one cleaning and doing chores while my step brothers (seriously) would just bully me and make me do even more work, while still making me feel crappy. Then, I finally met my Fiance, and after a few years, we finally moved in together and I was finally free from that turmoil.
6. Which princess dress is your favorite? Belles Ballgown!
7. If you could have any of the princess side-kicks in real life, which one would you want? I'm not a sidekicks person. I honestly prefer to do things on my own.
8. What ethnicity or country would you like to see the next Disney princess from?
I'd love to see a Hawaiian Princess. Especially since they truly existed. But At the same time not, because I know disney wouldn't be ballsy to tell the true tales of our Hawaiian Princess'.
9. Would you go see a Gay/Lesbian Disney Prince/Princess movie?
Yeah, but hopefully not to the point of in your face stereotyping. Media isn't always that great with same sex characters. Some are, like Laika and Dreamworks, but Disney has yet to be very subtle about it.
10. Favorite Princess Sequel?
This is hard because the sequels are awful. Mostly because the characters are written horribly and doesn't even pass a candle to how the story and characters were written. Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas is kinda guilty pleasure. But I despise how they wrote Belle and Beast.
11. Which Princess do you think had the best home life/childhood? judging from all their upbringings, Belle.
12. Which Princess would you most want to look like?
I'm a guy, but I've done that kinda thing. So, Aurora.
13. Most attractive Prince?
The Beast. No, not his human appearance.
