22/100 - Mother Nature

"Bryophyta" (Moss)

The theme of mother earth was a very inspirational one. I strive off of nature, most of my work happens in nature, and I think it's very important to my creative process. I have actually planned an entire series on this theme.

I wanted to portray with this concept that we are all a part of the earth, and we will eventually return to it. Moss is a low covering plant with no true roots, and I think it compares nicely to humans. While we think we are roots and can leave a mark on this world, we don't really. Eventually we will return to the earth and something else will come from our demise. We try as hard as we can, spreading in all directions, trying to find a great something to give life meaning, but the only thing we can be certain of is after death, our bodies become fuel for life.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

Try not to be a man of success, but rather try and become a man of value.

In Remembrance of STEVE JOBS 1955 - 2011

I wish to express my condolences to Steve’s family and close friends with this quote from Albert Einstein.

Try not to be a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

~~ Albert Einstein

I think Steve knew this from the get go. He was fortunate to become a man of both. People who are visionaries that intuitively know how to use their intelligence to express and bring their dreams into fruition are few. Steve was one of those people who will now remain in our history books, but his vision will live on with all those who he left to continue creating. He’s not done yet. His legacy is in tact.

Although I don’t own a Mac computer nor do I have an iPhone, iPod or iPad ... doesn't mean these inventions haven’t touched my life. I do however use the technology to create and express my dreams and sometimes, I wonder where we’d be without it. I am grateful for his existence for it changed my world and the world as we know it for the better.

I believe, he was simply meant to be. How lucky are we that this impressive man existed in our world? ... Priceless!

I leave you with this ...

He is Gone

You can shed tears that he is gone,

or you can smile because he has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that he’ll come back,

or you can open your eyes and see all that he’s left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him,

or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he’s gone,

or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,

or you can do what he’d want of you ...,

Smile, Open your eyes, Love, and go on.

~~ Author Unknown

Thanks Steve, you will be missed, that is certain. But because of you, that little icon of an apple will always mean dreams come true if you believe in yourself to make a difference in the lives of those around you.

This is a re-edit I’ve been working on. As I strive to do from the beginning, my photography must be about quality over quantity. This of course is not limited to how the shot was processed. The old version was blown out and not color balanced too well. I’m really trying to hone my Photoshop skills and scrutinize my photos even closer than before. I hope this will be apparent in future photos.

Striving for Perfection by Julia Einsweiler

I felt like doing a ballerina type shot. I'm not a ballerina and I don't have ballet slippers so this hurt quite a bit. In the future I would really like to work with a real ballerina or a good ballet dancer who has ballet slippers. I rotated this shot to make it upside down, so the long legs are actually the reflection.

No. 216 West 138th Street, Strivers' Row, Harlem, Manhattan, New York, New York, United States by Billy Wilson

5

"The St. Nicholas Historic District, known colloquially as "Striver's Row", is a historic district located on both sides of West 138th and West 139th Streets between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard (Seventh Avenue) and Frederick Douglass Boulevard (Eighth Avenue) in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is both a national and a New York City district, and consists of row houses and associated buildings designed by three architectural firms and built in 1891–93 by developer David H. King Jr. These are collectively recognized as gems of New York City architecture, and "an outstanding example of late 19th-century urban design":

There are three sets of buildings: The red brick and brownstone buildings on the south (even-numbered) side of West 138th Street and at 2350–2354 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard were designed by James Brown Lord in the Georgian Revival style; the yellow brick and white limestone with terra cotta trim buildings on the north (odd-numbered) side of 138th and on the south (even-numbered) side of 139th Street and at 2360–2378 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard were designed in the Colonial Revival style by Bruce Price and Clarence S. Luce; the dark brick, brownstone and terra cotta buildings on the north (odd-numbered) side of 139th Street and at 2380 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard were designed in the Italian Renaissance Revival style by Stanford White of the firm McKim, Mead & White.

The district was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The district's name reflects the nearby St. Nicholas Park.

David H. King Jr., the developer of what came to be called "Striver's Row", had previously been responsible for building the 1870 Equitable Building, the 1889 New York Times Building, the version of Madison Square Garden designed by Stanford White, and the Statue of Liberty's base. The townhouses in his new project, which were originally called the "King Model Houses", were intended for upper-middle-class whites, and featured modern amenities, dark woodwork, and views of City College. King's idea was that the project would be "on such a large scale and with such ample resources as to 'Create a Neighborhood' independent of surrounding influences."

The houses sit back-to-back, which allowed King to specify that they would share rear courtyards. The alleyways between them – a rarity in Manhattan – are gated off; some entrance gates still have signs that read "Walk Your Horses". At one time, these alleys allowed discreet stabling of horses and delivery of supplies without disrupting activities in the main houses. Today, the back areas are used almost exclusively for parking.

King sold very few houses and the development failed, with Equitable Life Assurance Society, which had financed the project, foreclosing on almost all the units in 1895, during an economic depression. By this time, Harlem was being abandoned by white New Yorkers, yet the company would not sell the King houses to blacks, and so they sat empty until 1919–20, when they were finally made available to African Americans for $8,000 each. Some of the units were turned into rooming houses, but generally they attracted both leaders of the black community and upwardly-mobile professionals, or "strivers", who gave the district its colloquial name.

Between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, is 139th Street, known among Harlemites as 'strivers' row.' It is the most aristocratic street in Harlem. Stanford White designed the houses for a wealthy white clientele. Moneyed African-Americans now own and inhabit them. When one lives on 'strivers' row' one has supposedly arrived. Harry Rills resides there, as do a number of the leading Babbitts and professional folk of Harlem.

By the 1940s, many of the houses had decayed and were converted to single room occupancies (SROs). Much of the original decorative detail inside the houses was lost at this time, though the exteriors generally remained unaltered. With the post-1995 real-estate boom in Harlem, many of these buildings are being restored to something resembling their original condition.

Harlem is a neighborhood in Upper Manhattan, New York City. It is bounded roughly by the Hudson River on the west; the Harlem River and 155th Street on the north; Fifth Avenue on the east; and Central Park North on the south. The greater Harlem area encompasses several other neighborhoods and extends west and north to 155th Street, east to the East River, and south to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Central Park, and East 96th Street.

Originally a Dutch village, formally organized in 1658, it is named after the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands. Harlem's history has been defined by a series of economic boom-and-bust cycles, with significant population shifts accompanying each cycle. Harlem was predominantly occupied by Jewish and Italian Americans in the 19th century, but African-American residents began to arrive in large numbers during the Great Migration in the 20th century. In the 1920s and 1930s, Central and West Harlem were the center of the Harlem Renaissance, a major African-American cultural movement. With job losses during the Great Depression of the 1930s and the deindustrialization of New York City after World War II, rates of crime and poverty increased significantly. In the 21st century, crime rates decreased significantly, and Harlem started to gentrify.

The area is served by the New York City Subway and local bus routes. It contains several public elementary, middle, and high schools, and is close to several colleges, including Columbia University, Manhattan School of Music, and the City College of New York. Central Harlem is part of Manhattan Community District 10. It is patrolled by the 28th and 32nd Precincts of the New York City Police Department. The greater Harlem area also includes Manhattan Community Districts 9 and 11 and several police precincts, while fire services are provided by four New York City Fire Department companies.

New York, often called New York City or NYC, is the most populous city in the United States. With a 2020 population of 8,804,190 distributed over 300.46 square miles (778.2 km2), New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. The city is within the southern tip of New York State, and constitutes the geographical and demographic center of both the Northeast megalopolis and the New York metropolitan area – the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With over 20.1 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and 23.5 million in its combined statistical area as of 2020, New York is one of the world's most populous megacities, and over 58 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of the city. New York City is a global cultural, financial, and media center with a significant influence on commerce, health care and life sciences, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, dining, art, fashion, and sports. New York is the most photographed city in the world. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy, an established safe haven for global investors, and is sometimes described as the capital of the world." - info from Wikipedia.

The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Strive, child, for the way of God is narrow and thorny, not of course, but of our passions, and since we want to eradicate from the heart the passions, which are depicted as thorny roots, to plant useful plants, we will of course labor very much and our hands will bleed and our face will sweat, maybe we will despair seeing all the roots and passions!

But we, with our hope in Christ, the healer of our souls, let us daily devour the land of our hearts working on this cleansing. Patience, mourning, humility, obedience, obedience, all work together. in cultivation.

We must put forth all our strength, and God, seeing our trouble, comes and blesses us and becomes our prosperity.

The bother is transient and transient, while the very wages in heaven, struggling and accounting, hold on to hope, for it shows that the house is founded in stone, stone is our Christ.

you want to know something funny? i laid on the ground to get a shot of the brick patterns and had to do it quickly, because it was right in front of a big athletic facility. when i got home and uploaded the images, i realized i had unintentionally captured this sweet little plant.

i am beginning an exercise in conquering my self-rejection. i think we all have a bit of it, whether it's of dangerously large proportion or only a fleeting problem. human nature is very susceptible to its force. we could all use a bit of a break from ourselves, don't you think? like this little plant. minding it's own business; who cares if it's growing in "the wrong spot". it will keep on keeping on just the same...

definitely click this pic.

Hello! Hope you still remember me, haha (: I know I've been offline for a while now...but somehow flickr just hasn't been a big part of my thoughts. School and other things have taken over at the moment. (this image suits my mood right now actually.)

Even my photography is suffering :I getting a new lens soon, though! Canon 50mm f 1.4 (: yey. Then I can have even more fun with light. (when I get time. but thankfully there's a break soon.)

Have been visiting your streams, and I'll comment as I get more time. (: right now it's... busy, busy, busy... feels like I'm just repeating myself though. :o

oh, well. We all have these moments in life (: Hope you're all well anyhow! Thank you for sharing your part of the world. Missing ye' all (;

Lately it has happened to me I do not see the results that I want, then I thought maybe there is something that is binding us and that we can be ourselves who did the hard knot. The rope means something we have to let go, a memory, a person, an opportunity that was not for us, the mesh is the barrier that must jump and the higher you get, you would see your landscape full of colors ...
