Another piece I created using my Wacom tablet and digital paint. This beautiful black woman showing her strength.

Thank you guys for your support. It's so nice to have this as my outlet for frustration. I'm feeling better today and hopefully each day will become easier from here.
Big, old trees are beautiful aren't they. This tree with its enormous roots has seen so much.. hopefully it will still be around long after I'm gone.

Adventures in Seeing # 9 - Everything is Worthy
When I go down to the harbour, it's to be near the water, to see the boats and especially the reflections, but I often purposely seek out the details that we sometimes take for granted. There are hidden hooks and ropes and chains and all manner of things that are worthy of my attention.
In this capture, I love the structure of the thick linked chains, the texture of the rust and the contrast with the white painted chain.
The Sawtooths endure, their reflection yielding to water—strength becoming softness. That we might be rooted within, yet meet the world with kindness.

Last year was probably the hardest year of my life. I had my exams and I started college and also battled with phases of depression which I feel I have grown past now thanks to self portraiture.
I never used upload images of myself last year as my self confidence was so poor I didn't like a single picture of myself that I had done. I felt as though my photography was rubbish compared to that of summer 2011 and so around November 2012 I tried to make pictures featuring a model to get my views back.
As I had no one to model for me on the spot I had to use myself. At first, I didn't want to show my face in the photo because I hated the way I looked but I felt as though I needed too to get the idea I was going for. Eventually, I had created a few pictures of my whole face in and I decided I liked them because I was in it and then my self confidence grew.
I feel as though now, in the space of less than a year, I like myself more than I ever have done because of the self portraits I had done. I never thought they would have such an impact on my feelings and attitudes towards situations that happen every day.
I only have a few hobbies and one of the main ones are photographing and editing. I love doing my hair and makeup, getting my camera and tripod and then walking out into the countryside and setting up my shot. It gives me a great feeling when I feel I've made something I really really like and then to have other people like it as well is an even better feeling.
I can only say an enormous thank you to everyone that regularly views my work and comments occasionally. I am really very happy with how things are right now.

Story time: I was here in the very same spot last year during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. It was sad, it didn't end the right way and I left home disappointed.
In the post season, we got KD.. and we won the post season.
Starting in the 2016-2017 season, we wondered what would happen with the team chemistry. Kerr and team found what works. KD and Curry be the leads while everyone else follows.
It worked against the GOAT and Cleveland.
I came back to the same spot this year and listened to the end of the game on the radio.
We won.
Strength in Numbers.
I was going to call this image… “My Name Is Not Sharbat Gula…”
She was one of the world's most famous faces, yet no one knew
who she was… I was wondering who would make the connection…
My friend pfflyers1 was first…
There’s a giant difference from what I have shot and Steve McCurry’s…
The obvious one is I’m not good enough to carry Steve McCurry’s Lens…
Let alone his tripod…
Did I think about Steve McCurry image when I shot this? Yes…
was I trying to emulate him? Yes… Have I come close? I’ll leave
that up to you… Steve McCurry’s “Afghan Girl" is completely
different… His girl did not cover her face… and she was shot on location…
Maybe the similarities are the feeling of the eyes…
It’s all about controlling the light for me… I wanted my model to
feel as though she was outdoors… with shadows being cast from
trees or a shadow from a doorway… I painted her eyes with light…
that's why they sparkle…
Another play on a photo taken at the Kelley Ryden and Tracy Raver workshop. We were fighting to get shots ... beautiful model. Floor was wet with drool.
Petit à petit je retrouve me habitudes de Foltographe alençonnaise.... Et quelques subtils échos de ma disparition dans le labyrinthe der salpêtre...

Peel away the years of weathered wood and this old barn is structurally the same as it ever was. I feel like that some times.
