When you’ve lost everything and all the initial feelings wear off and thoughts are processed, it can feel like your drowning. How did you end up sinking so deep? How are you going to get back to the surface for a breath of air? Are you going to get back at all, or is this how and where it ends? Is everything over?

 

No matter how far it feels, this is a fight for your life. You have to push, you have to fight! One more kick, one more stroke! Keep going! You won’t be defeated, not this time. You can make it. You’re good enough to do this. Don’t worry about what comes next, don’t stress over what came before, just make it up to catch your breath. You’ll be ok. Just don’t... give.. up...

I think the word "Alone" has been touched on over and over in this series of photos, however it needs it's own space because it may be the hardest of all the pills to swallow. It's one thing to go through a situation where you've lost everything, but to go through it by yourself is by far the worst feeling in the world. Often times what separates those who make it back on their feet, to those who never recover, is one simple thing. Support.

 

We're all different people, and everyone who falls has their own reasons for falling. One thing we all have in common though is that any single one of our individual falls can be broken up by another person choosing to get involved. What hurts more than anything in the world is falling, and seeing everyone you ever considered a friend just watching. No one offering to help, no one trying to prevent or even slow your decent, just watching, pitying, and coldly turning the other cheek. There's no feeling lonelier in the world than knowing in your time of need, when it's finally YOU who needs help, that everyone, even the ones you helped at points when you stood tall and they needed a hand, will just let you fall.

 

If you know someone who is struggling, no matter what that struggle is, let them know you see them. If you care about them, let them know. You might be the reason they recover, you might be all they needed, but you'll never know unless you try.

Stripped Bare

I've taken a sunrise photo at this location a few years back, but every sunrise is different, and this time if you look to the right of the tree you can see the crescent moon!

Theme of the day: Stripes

HMM :)

Have you ever felt like no matter how many people you've been there for in your lifetime when they needed someone, that no one seems to be there for you when you really need a friend? Are you the first person who volunteers to help, and feel like you're the last person who gets any help back? When you're in your hour of need, do you notice people tending to look the other way instead of putting their hand on your shoulder and telling you it'll be ok?

 

It's really hard when you've hit rock bottom and realize who your friends really are, in some cases you may not have any at all. Not real ones. It's these moments that show who someone really is, any one can pretend to be your friend when you're on the top of the world, when there's something they can gain from being close to you. The others make you feel even more alone, tossed out, rejected as they carry on without you.

 

If you're reading this, and you ever need a friend, or a shoulder to cry on, I'll be there for you.

The Soul of black and white Pictures ONLY

This is a sequence of shots that i blended together of an egret coming in for a landing at the top of this tall tree.

After you've been forced to change paths it's easy to feel lost, alone, and afraid in the darkness. Naked and vulnerable, exposed for the world to see and judge, all defenses stripped bare and left open like fresh wound, to feel anything other than afraid would just be bad instincts. It's okay to be scared, it's okay to feel afraid, this is when you should feel frightened, this trial will test you and try to break you.

 

Whether it succeeds is up to a number of factors, none of them bigger than your own willingness or unwillingness to give up. Other people may or may not be able to, or choose to help you, but no one will ever be a bigger factor than you will be for yourself. None of us are in complete control of our destiny, even the very most successful people have setbacks and take losses, but how we respond to those losses in the end is what defines us and determines if we spend the rest of our lives naked and afraid, or back in the driver's seat of our lives.

Not too far from Chittagong Airport is a nice waterfront strip along the banks of the Karnaphuli River. There were boats and ships moored everywhere but this was one of the few days where the sun didn't shine and it was overcast and very hazy but there was enough colour to lift the mood a little.

This week I found, quite by chance, on my FastStone software, a possibility called 'image strip builder'.

 

So I tried it and this is my second attempt, posted for

Saturday Self-Challenge: something I found.

 

The flowers came from my archive of pink flowers - and I couldn't resist also adding a border to the image.

 

Happy weekend, everyone!

Who knew that the simple parking lot of a strip mall could provide the backdrop for the magnificent panorama of a summer-storm sunset?

You know, I love it, when the music's loud

But c'mon, strip that down for me, baby

Now there's a lot of people in the crowd

But only you can dance with me

So put your hands on my body

And swing that round for me, baby

You know, I love it when the music's loud

But c'mon, strip that down for me

Oh, strip that down, girl

Love when you hit the ground, girl

Oh, strip that down, girl

Love, when you hit the ground

A rural strip mall in rural upstate New York on a sunny winter day.

All losses are caused by different reasons, but a select few of them happen because something was straight out taken from us, or we were taken ourselves. Imagine being not only stripped of your clothes, your dignity, and your pride, but also being forced to go along for the ride. A ride that involves no acceptance, no going with the flow, no ability to fight, just being absolutely forced to comply with everything and everyone being taken from you.

 

This can all be metaphorical to describe a situation in your life, but it can also be exactly what it describes. Sex trafficking is still a very real thing and is one of the worst kind of losses you can go through as a human being. Did you know that over 27 million people a year are forced into jobs, not just sexual ones, but hard labor jobs as well? You hear about the numbers sometimes of women and girls forced to be sex slaves, but you don't hear about the number of slaves working on farms, ranches, in mines, and this doesn't even include the number of inmates locked up on bogus crimes and forced to do the jobs society has deemed undesirable. Silenced, subdued, shackled, and sometimes raped repeatedly, there are depths a person can fall into that are unimaginable while the rest of the world declares "We should do something." While sipping their starbucks, and going to get a massage on the weekend at the spa from one of the trafficked women in town.

 

Next time you feel like you've lost everything, just remember there's a lot further you could fall, and your situation can most likely be fixed a lot easier than some other people's darkest days.

Starkly beautiful in the early morning light.

I don`t why farmers leave a strip of wild area in the middle and around the edges of a field, if someone knows I would be interested to know as well.

This is two images blended together to get the foreground nice and sharp and one to capture the colour in the sky where I used a lee reverse grad filter to hold back the brighter area.

Taken a few minutes after the previous shot the clouds went a deep red then faded to black leaving a pastel strip along the horizon which slowley faded to darkness. I sat on the beach until the stars came out :-)

Sometimes you need to strip away the colour and distractions to see the terrifying rugged landscape that makes a mountain.
