Three Sleeping Swans
Under the October Sun
the ice mirrors dark trees
At the frozen pond
I saw three sleeping swans
Hlif at the Pond in 101 Reykjavik, Iceland
Hoy toca una de sombras; de las que yo llamo de negra sombra. Pero como todo amante de la pintura o la fotografía sabe, las sombras son muy importantes en un cuadro, en una fotografía, en una composición. No es algo en lo que se fije el común de los mortales; pero son las que realzan los motivos iluminados, aquellos que queremos destacar, enfatizar. Así como los taoístas transmitían hace más de 2.500 años, que todo lo que existe en el universo es una dualidad entre lo brillante, y lo oscuro, lo sombrío, el equilibrio en el arte está en conocer y utilizar el juego de luces y sombras, que es lo que significa eso del yin y el yang, precisamente.
Pero empecemos por la música, que es una de las canciones más inquietantes, desasogueradoras de la historia de la música. Siento no poder poner el vídeo de Youtube, como es habitual, porque no la he encontrado, por eso hoy pongo el enlace a Spotify que se puede escuchar gratuitamente aunque no tengas cuenta ahí (Control + click). No dejéis de oír esta música de la gran Shirley Horn, creadora de canciones como Here's to life...

I watch you sleep - Shirley Horn.
...que ha sido de una poderosa inspiración; habla de una mujer que observa a su marido o amante mientras duerme....

Mientras tú duermes
Sonríes mientras duermes… te observo en mitad de la noche, cuando todo está oscuro, cuando los objetos más pequeños proyectan las sombras más grandes, más amenazadoras. Y sin que tú lo sepas, te observo en silencio. Nunca te lo he dicho, ni se lo he dicho siquiera a mis íntimas. Como lo de olerte los cabellos. Nunca me has dado motivos para desconfiar de ti, aparte de esa manía tuya, claro está, de tontear con todas esas faldas que se te ponen por delante. Siempre has tenido un magnetismo especial, de eso no cabe duda; un encanto personal que embelesa a cualquiera a poco que te trate.
Cuando eras joven, simplemente con tu presencia llamabas la atención; cuando entrabas en un local, las chicas abrían los ojos y se giraban a tu paso. Pero es que además es que eres inteligente, e ingenioso, y nos hacías reír… y eso desarma a cualquier mujer. Así fue como yo caí rendida a tus pies, aunque me hiciera de rogar. Y al final, fuiste a mí a quien elegiste de entre todas.
Pero esa sonrisa… esa sonrisa mientras duermes…
Ya sé que tú eres de esas personas que necesitan que las estén elogiando constantemente. Nunca entendí el porqué de esa puñetera inseguridad. Si tú vales más que la inmensa mayoría de la gente, que no te llegan ni a la altura de tus zapatos. Pero los hombres sois así, tenéis que mear en cuanta santa farola se os pone por delante; sentir que sois el gallo del gallinero, igualito que nuestro perro Tom.
Y después está esta maldita educación mamada de mi madre desde mi más tierna infancia, que me lleva a este servilismo emocional. O quizá esté impreso a fuego en nuestro ADN femenino, quién coño sabe. Pero ahí está. Que me lleva a adorarte, a sentirte como mi protector, mi maestro, sin el que no sabría moverme por este mundo caótico e imprevisible, como un niño desvalido cuando se pierde, por un instante, de la vista de sus padres. Y que no me vengan con monsergas las jodidas feministas de los huevos, cuando después te enteras que Tony, mi amiga la bollera, todo el día hablando de igualdad y respeto y ella va detrás de su amante como una perra lamiendo a su dueña, que la putea y la engaña todo lo que puede, y ella la persigue humillándose, mendigando su cariño y atención, a pesar de los desprecios que le hace, sobre todo cuando sabe que nos tiene a nosotros de público.
Sonríes mientras duermes… ¿En qué otros mundos estarás en tus sueños? ¿Soy yo el objeto de esos sueños? A veces, en esas noches eternas, en esas horas oscuras, cuando todo parece más negro de lo que realmente es, tengo envidia de esa almohada que sostiene tus cabellos, tengo celos de las ensoñaciones que tu rostro, en la quietud de la noche, no sabe disimular.
Pero después despiertas, con esa mirada tuya que llena de luz nuestra estancia, y me repites que yo soy el amor de tu vida, que qué suerte haberme encontrado y conocido, que desde entonces ya supiste que no me ibas a dejar escapar nunca jamás. Y entonces, las sombras de todos los objetos de la habitación se reducen a su justa dimensión. Y comprendo al fin, que cuando estás enfermo, que cuando estás bajo de moral, a la que llamas es a mí. La mano que te acaricia y reconforta es la mía, y no la de todas esas pollitas a las que embelesas con tus sonrisas. Que tu corazón y tu mente están aquí, en nuestra casa, con los tuyos. Y que yo voy a estar aquí siempre a tu lado, esperándote, y haciendo lo que mejor se me da, que es darte mi amor y mi vida. Pero ve con cuidado, porque ya te lo advirtió tu madre, cuando te decía «tú haz lo que quieras, pero ten presente que a una mujer no le puedes ganar en amar ni en odiar». Aunque sé que vendrán otras noches, y otros momentos oscuros en los que tú…
Tú sonríes mientras duermes…

After a model shoot she laid down in the grass, exhausted. I thought she just looked gorgeous so I took a few nice ones of her too.
I think it looks a little creepy, but that's my sister sleeping :P
I think we have to change the decoration of the room, this doesn't look nice!

Paranoid personality disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis characterized by paranoia and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others.
Those with the condition are hypersensitive, are easily slighted, and habitually relate to the world by vigilant scanning of the environment for clues or suggestions to validate their prejudicial ideas or biases. Paranoid individuals are eager observers. They think they are in danger and look for signs and threats of that danger, disregarding any facts. ( Waldinger, 1997). They tend to be guarded and suspicious and have quite constricted emotional lives. Their incapacity for meaningful emotional involvement and the general pattern of isolated withdrawal often lend a quality of schizoid isolation to their life experience
Sleeping Swan II
A re-edit of an image I took 2 years ago today. Since then I feel I have grown as a photographer in many ways including gaining far more skills in post processing.
I have been using @captureonepro for nearly a year now and as I needed to learn how it worked, it almost reset my editing approach. I think I had become too complacent and reliant on presets. I have found many benefits to Capture One Pro which I will put down in a future blog post.
This image was edited in Capture One Pro and the first thing I noticed was the colours. Capture One’s RAW processing appeared to make the colours pop more than before.
Let me know what you think.

We went to visit the kids again last weekend. Trying to get in as many visits as we can, before the mountain passes get too snowy.
Here is Kali and Grampa taking a little mid-day nap!
This was a rare sight indeed even from day one puppy Asha sleeping or was she? I remember reading that dogs at home spend a lot of their time sleeping and especially when little pups. Asha very rarely slept during the day, she was always so full of beans from day one so that is why looking at this sleeping Asha on her first day home is a rare thing indeed. Puppy Asha was a follower and we were her flock, anybody who left the room she instinctively followed them to see where they were going. She had to know where all her flock where in the house before coming back into the living room to be with the rest of the family.
I remember very vividly the times seeing puppy Asha lying like this and thinking she was asleep and very gently getting up so as not to disturb her, but the slightest wee creek from getting up of the chair wee puppy Asha's eyes opened immediately and she was up in a flash and ready to follow you. There is a golden rule that when your dog or cat is asleep you do everything in your power not to disturb their sleep, even sit for a extra hour with them on you lap when dying to go to the bathroom until you can hold it in no more.
This rule applied to us all and when we seen puppy Asha apparently deep in sleep like this, we all tried to get up without making a sound, but none of us were ever able to get up and leave the room without puppy Asha hearing the slightest wee creek and then bouncing wide awake ready to follow. It got to the point that in the end we gave up trying to sneak out of the room quietly as not to wake her up as that was impossible to do and I do wonder if Asha was ever fast asleep in the first place...lol.
I just want to add that there is no such thing as personal space when you have a border collie, when I needed to go to the bathroom puppy Asha thought this was her own personal play time and would quickly run to find a ball or toy for me to play with her while in the bathroom. All I know is that when you have a puppy/dog who wants to play while you are in the bathroom and you know it means so much to them. You can't say NO, you just do it to make them happy. I think that is what Love is all about you do things you don't particular want to do as you know it makes that person/dog happy. When your dog is happy you are happy.
This is the memory that comes across so strongly when I look at this picture...
A wee add on...This just sprung to mind talking about personal space. I remember when puppy Asha started following me into the bathroom I felt uncomfortable with her being there, embarrassed even. Then I said to myself, well Asha does her business in front of me and not only does she do her business in front of me I have to pick it up and put it in a wee bag and dispose of it. Asha wasn't embarrassed so why should I be?. This cured me of my embarrassment...lol
Inspired by Tori Amos' Song.
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies ...With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy
Today is my birthday. The name Mateo means "Gift from God". I can't think of a better gift for my birthday than my sweet, adorable boy! Every day with him is a gift.
I miss him sleeping with me every night, so lonely in bed without him. Sometimes I forget & I feel his presence, especially at night when I'm alone in my bedroom. For 8 years, he was my shadow...my companion, longer than any of my human relationships.
We went on a long walk today. This is one of Gimli's favorite sleeping spots. He is using a rock as a pillow.

Saw this tent in Ichon Park today underneath Han River Bridge in Seoul. I think the guy likes symmetry and placed his tent bang in the middle. Thanks tent person!
Mural "Don't sleep on your dream" by Belgian painter Noir Artist (Lucien Gilson) at Rue de Nimy 117 in Mons, Belgium.
-------------
Noir Artist (Lucien Gilson) est un jeune artiste plasticien et peintre muraliste formé à Saint-Luc Liège. Il réalise des toiles, peintures, dessins, fresques monumentales, art mural, trompe l’oeil, décoration et design urbain, ce travail « au noir » laisse peu de regards indifférents.
Inspiré par la pub, le pop art, l’art baroque ou encore la calligraphie, NOIR Artist décline avec grâce ses obsessions picturales hyperréalistes et ses envolées plus abstraites. Par sa fresque « Don’t sleep on your dream », Noir Artist a apporté sa touche de figuration surréaliste au projet.
