The "Year Zero" CD from Nine Inch Nails has a heat sensitive coating on the CD, meaning that you put a black CD into your player with the "Year Zero" logo on it in white writing and when the CD is finished playing you have a white CD with "nine inch nails" in black writing on it....
Basically, for this shot, I rubbed my finger across the nine inch nails writing on the CD until you could see it, then fired off a few shots... these are both the same shot, just processed differently in Adobe Lightroom.... Just changed the WB temp and tint to get the different effects...

Taleen & Sarah, Burrito Babes Founders, met while taking social work classes at USC. After learning and growing together, they wanted to figure out a way to give back. Feeling very sensitive to the hunger issues of the world, they put their heads together and Burrito Babes was born. Through this community building organization, Taleen and Sarah hope to inspire people to build and sustain community, while giving all of their profits to hunger-based organizations.
Sarah Young & Taleen Askejian - Founders - Burrito Babes
Sarah: We are redefining the term, “babe”. We’re asking everyone to be a babe for themselves and a babe for the community and what that means is believing in yourself, believing you can create change, helping your neighbor, and helping your community, and hopefully create a movement of a bunch of different babes and bring them all together and say we are the individuals making a difference.
Taleen: Our dream is to have a restaurant in Santa Monica, one that’s more like a community center vibe, and share a good experience inside the restaurant as well as give back to the community. Customers get a heart shaped token with every purchase, and there will be three different organizations to vote on where our profits are going. There will always be a food-based hunger organization, a local-based LA organization and an international organization.
Sarah: The idea is that you would come in, and hopefully, these are big dreams, the restaurant can be divided into two different spaces. One that has long community tables, there are never any single tables cause we want people to be sitting together and when our servers bring the food and if they know somebody, we want them to talk to people by name, and introduce people to each other, and facilitate conversations so people can get to know one another. The other side would be couches, and more comfortable area; people can come and talk about volunteer activities, anything that brings people together. We will have a wall of games and books; we are providing almost a living room space for individuals, and burritos are the way that we are facilitating that.
Taleen: We met in class. Both our first years in a clinical practice class at USC. So Sarah, and I’ll go into detail (laughs), she was three seats ahead of me on the right. This class was sort of ridiculous in a lot of ways. It was early, the teacher was interesting… so, I didn’t know Sarah that well but whenever something happened that was funny, she would turn around to see if anyone else got it, and I would always get it, and just be like, "Yeah I know." (laughs)
We were also in a group project the whole semester. It all started then, and we took classes together every semester after that, and then last April we had the opportunity to learn more about the way these things worked, and went together to a student organized a field trip to Sacramento, and that was the weekend where we talked about the process of doing this sort of work. Then we talked about burritos; well we always talked about how we loved them. We had another class where we needed to work toward a final project that we could have in our back pocket when we graduated, one that we could move forward with if we decided to. Sarah told me, “I want to do this Burrito Babes thing, you in?” And I thought okay, we both think absolutely crazy, this is going to work! You really need another person that’s like, “Yeah let’s do this, for motivation and you need encouragement, so as we started working on this and two or three weeks after we started working on it we said, let’s do this, why not! There’s nothing to lose.
Sarah: It might take longer than we are going to expect, but this is going to happen, and people might look at us like “You’re a little nuts,” but that’s what you have to do, you have to believe in what you’re doing, and you need to have that to ask for money and support, and we believe in each other. We bring different views to the table and we want to make this happen. We are just trying to challenge the status quo. We really think we change things, and really get people to think more about a collective group rather than themselves. We say we bonded over burritos and social justice.
A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
and closed them beneath the kisses of night.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant," 1820
This lovely little flower has appeared in my garden this year. Don't know what it is but it wraps itself up tight at night and unfurls in the sun. If anyone has any idea what it is, please let me know.

Ms. Cheeky's Workshop Exercise # 4: Shoot What You Love
Another candidate for this exercise. Another version posted in the comment below. As you all know by now, it's so hard to get a pictue of my Lisette, unlike Jake. When she just sees a camera, she starts shaking, and has done so since she was a tiny puppy. I've decided to try to get her over t his, or at least to get more pictures of her. And several of you have given me some great suggestions to help-- bring them on. Lisette has such soulful eyes, and such a sense of joy about her. She can also be very serious, as she is here. She is ten years old. I do turn the camera noise off, and give her lots of treats; but the camera and posing are simply dreaded. A few minutes before this photo was taken, she was shaking like a leaf and glassy eyed-- from the camera. One of those photos is posted in the comment below. So we played a little, I praised her, more treats, tried again- and at least I got two better shots of her. She still is stiff- her joy does not quite come through. So the challenge for me was to get a photo that captured her soulfulness. Here she is more serious and curious, having heard a beloved neighbor talking next door. She's looking off in the neighbor's direction.
Her nose used to be very dark black, but as she's getting older, it's getting lighter.
For what it's worth, she's a daughter of Treson, a famous show poodle, who also was terrified of thunder and noises. I guess he was better posing for the camera though, as a show dog. But I think she comes by her fear of many noises genetically. She's an early Treson daughter, one of his first pups after he became famous, bred by his breeder and owner. We have never shown Lisette, pampering her only with a pet's life.
For the exercise: Rule of thirds: tried to get her eyes in the upper right third, but it does not quite make the Rule of Thirds. Usually I crop my pictures closer- so not sure if this works or not. Decluttering- not perfect here, as the garden border is distracting. I could not get her to move closer to the plants and stay relaxed, so this was the best shot I got. And her scarf is a bit distracting- but also adds pizass. The light was from behind me, but she was in the shade of a large tree.
Open to all feedback and criticism and suggestions.

Onoclea sensibilis. Growing near an Atlantic White Cedar Swamp, Woods Hole, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. 29 September 2010. Seen during the TDWG TechnoBioblitz.
Queensland has a plant called sensitive weed. It is probably a local name. When touched it closes it leaves, hence the name "sensitive". It has sharp spikes and little purple flowers.
The new macro lens was given a real workout today and there was one keeper. This is it.

Sensitive Issues
"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12 (NIV)
Humans are tender creatures. All of us are. Even though many times we pretend things don’t bother us, many things really do. I remember a situation that began with a phone call late one night from a frantic wife. She called us for help because she and her husband were having a terrible fight and he was packing to leave.
When we arrived at their home, it was chaotic. She was in the living room with the children. They were all very upset and crying. He was in the garage loading his car to leave. Karen tried to comfort her and I talked to him in the garage.
Here is the short version. The husband was the type of person who hid his personal pain beneath a tough exterior. The more hurt and afraid he felt, the more dominant and intimidating he acted. He’d found out weeks earlier that his wife had some physical problems that were pretty serious. He was concerned and told her to go to the doctor. She didn’t. Every time he reminded her she would just brush him off.
On the night of the fight, he became very dominant and forceful with her about another issue. However, what was really bothering him was the thought that she might die. He cherished her and couldn’t stand the thought that her medical problems might be terminal. His fears took over and emotions got out of control.
As we sat with them and talked things out, she watched him sob uncontrollably as he talked about how much he loved her and how afraid he was something might happen to her. She admitted that the reason she didn’t go to the doctor was because the possible cost. As you can see, both were bothered by something and both of their concerns were valid. However, because they didn’t honestly discuss their feelings, the situation nearly ended in tragedy.
I’ve learned over the years that everything matters. Because of that, I am honest about my feelings and sensitive to Karen’s. I realize that when I’m bothered by something Karen says or does, there is usually more to her behavior.
Rather than reacting to what she says, I’ve learned to pursue what is going on with her on a deeper level. On many occasions, this has kept me from reacting with rejection, withdrawal or verbal aggression. It has also caused me to deeply respect the sensitivity of Karen’s heart and my own as well.
Talk It Out | What underlying issues in your relationship are you reluctant to bring to the surface and talk about? This would be a good time to begin a conversation about sensitive issues that really matter and allow your spouse to see it from your perspective.
Walk It Out | Call your spouse at an unexpected time this week, just to say, “I’m thinking of you.” God bless

Made of the Earth, for the Earth. I love trees, as a sensitive person they are very intruiguing to me. Their age and longevity lends us wisdom, their substance of being, rooted in the Earth, but always reaching toward the light, have always given me insight into how the world around us works. Their symbolism is powerful, as the world tree they connect heaven, our realm, and the underworld, and the tree of life, they connect all forms of creation. They whisper on same the wind, that can also shape them over time.
