using a mysterious watercolor like medium i created this character study. some stuff i loved som i hated but overall i think its a fine exploration
I was sure I can never have the time to do deliberate photographic studies, let alone - on a predefined subject and with a deadline. November sunshine proved me wrong: I had 5 minutes, the subject was 'shadows' and I saw them, in my own sitting room and garden. Next day I even found time to crop and clean them a bit, and here they are - for your critique :)

I haven't posted in quite awhile due to a lack of interest and maybe other priorities.
One of my main priorities these days is getting rid of accumulated junk! This includes old clothing, like this satin gown. I realized that I acquired WAY too much clothing and accessories over time, and it was taking up lots of space. Some of my clothing was improperly stored, so it isn't worth wearing anymore. Other items, like this gown, I decided to donate to the thrift store community. That's where I found it to begin with, and that's where it's headed to once again.
One thing that was sobering was dealing with the sheer volume of clothing I acquired and making decisions about what to keep. Believe it or not, I threw away about 45 large bags of clothing -- the kinds of contractor bags that landscapers use to haul away leaves.
My process of shedding goes on and I make more secondary choices about what clothing I have left. I still have far too much.
Another sobering thing was realizing how much money I had spent over time at thrift stores. It never felt like a lot on any given day or week, but over time it does add up. Part of me would like to have that money back so I can go on a few fun trips or get something else really special. But I realize that buying clothing a bit at a time over the years somehow relaxed me and gave me something to look forward to.
Enough self-therapy. Here's to shedding my excesses!!
Cackling Goose CACG* (Branta hutchinsii)
Elk Lake
Saanich
Greater Victoria BC
DSCN0195 cacg interesting
So here we see
[From right to left ] 2 Minima..then 2 that are larger ..then one more which seems too big in the body for Minima... and looks to be portly even by Taverner standards.. a neck ring and its odd structural aspects could make Aleutian a possibility
the 2 larger are almost certainly Taverner's Cackling Geese
This is an interesting flock even if subspecies differentiation is not conclusive
2 sub species
of CAGC
by audio and photo doc review
If you look at the obviously smaller ones would be Minima (Ridgeways)
very small with tiny bills
Smaller = "Ridgway" Cackling Goose CACG* (Branta hutchinsii minima)
aka "Minima" subspecies
Taverner’s (Cackling) Goose
CACG* (Branta hutchinsii taverneri ) are bigger bodied
and proportionally longer necked
Part of a self induced ongoing White Cheek Goose Study / Review
"Minima" subspecies
is usually our most common overwint'ring cackler
but
this in recent Years it seems that the numbers of
Taverner’s
are Increasing as an overwinterer in our area

Yet again „the walk“, I guess you know every single tree as well as I do right now ... BUT: I tried few things with the rendering, both while taking the shots and when processing them. When shooting I used a Kenko Nostaltone Orange, which is basically a diffusor and warming filter combined. That's where the color and softness comes from. I used a zoom lens all the way open, which gives vignette and fall off and a bit of additional softness. when proscessing them in LR and PS I payed attention to „fill the highlights with color“ and control the highlights in general. There was a beautiful „soft sunshine“ today (partially cloudy), and the light was so nice I hope I could capture that a little bit at least.

Hi everyone! It's hard to believe these additions to the ice tree series were taken only two days ago...the high was around 60 here today, under a sunny sky...all that remains of the ice display is a pile of ice on the shaded ground...after I finish this series, I PROMISE I'll fill your viewing with flowers, sunshine and anything unwinterlike!!! Have a wonderful evening...and stay warm! : )
OG Sour Diesel, kinda like a New York egg cream, or a Baltimore lake trout, if you know what I mean. So mild, it may improve certain studies!
Over a year ago my class visited the house of a Montreal architect after a site visit for a nearby project on the Plateau.
I didn't expect to ever post these images but looking through my library in what I hope will be a big clean up / paring down, I thought a series of images might be worth posting as a group - a study of a staircase in the house that remains particularly memorable.
In school we seemed to place an inordinate emphasis on stairs but I think there's good reason since it is one part of architecture with which we are forced into physical contact.

"Monument for the living 2001-2008"
A sculpture of a high rise building in Beirut, abandoned while only half finished, as civil war erupted across Lebanon. The building acted as a base for snipers throughout the conflict, and remains in place to this day; too large to implode, and too tall to knock down, the building has become a monumental reminder of the horrific conflict.
