From a recent publicity shoot, I introduce you to the gorgeous, quirky and absolutely fun, Kat. I have called this image "Surrender", with tongue-in-cheek, cause based on the time I spent with Kat, I feel that she has way too much spunk and gumption to readily surrender.

I've traveled a tough road over the last 8 years, all self inflicted. I've recently come to the realisation that surrender & acceptance can be a wonderful thing. To surrender & accept life & see that there is immense beauty around me has been a truly eye opening experience. We are all bound at times by faults & limitations but if we take our focus off of these we will see the most wonderful moments. Thank you for stopping by & taking a look at some of my images.......

shot from my Oly....
I lived a lot of different lives, been different people many times. I lived my life in bitterness and filled my heart with emptiness.
It was a cold afternoon, just as all of them had been in the days. Days that seemed like decades. Hours that devastated my mind. Seconds that killed the fire. But the time had come. I met him at the place we both knew so well, and as I was approaching,
a smile hushed over his lips.
“You got it?”, he asked and his brittle voice cut even deeper in my heart than many miseries that I had brought to myself. “I think so.”, I murmured undecidedly and uncertain. I felt uneasy. I always did. Not only uneasy, but also empty. Empty and full at the same time, as if I could explode and implode within a second. But the time had come. No longer could I bear all of this. No longer did I want to hold the key. I lifted my arm with the last feeling of strength I felt rushing through my veins.
“Here it is. Surrender has come to poison my senses. This little life I’m living is no longer mine. And as my body crawls down the path, run away and never come back. Run to the world I wish I’ll never know … the world I wish I never knew. The places I never wanted to see. The people I never wanted to be. Run away with this surrender and turn black.”
“I will.”, he said. “I know I will.”
(day ninety-seven)
“You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination.”
As much as this falls has been overshot, there's a good reason why it is shot so often. Here, I wanted to focus on showing the sheer power of the water hurtling down hundreds of feet and spraying everything in sight. I also wanted to show the scale of the falls by placing my friend and guide Colby Brown right at the base. The challenge was figuring out the right shutter speed which would show movement but not render the water silky smooth. Given the sheer volume of spray projected at me and the camera, I had to have my lens cloth on the lens at all times and took it out only to take a burst of images.
"Surrendering is letting go of resisting to what comes up. It is not the same as being stupid or blind (gullible). Be OK with either outcome. Withdraw intention from the matter. Surrender resisting. Surrender to God’'s will."
When you surrender everything to God, you can't have a say in the outcome. Do not look for a result, personal volition is removed, whatever God's will is, that's it."
"The way to God is constant surrender."
The Process of Surrender
* Spiritual seekers know that the core of all pathways to God is surrender, but to what is not clear. Without a decisive technique, many seekers spend years surrendering on content and complain that they are no farther along than before. The mind goes right on with its endless production and, therefore, one cannot surrender content as fast as it is produced; it is a losing game.
Next, one hears that it is not the content but attachments to the content that is the problem. This brings some relief but also brings the next question: How does one let go of attachments? It is necessary to examine to nature of an attachment. It is based on a belief and a desire. The belief is that a mental content will bring happiness and solve problems; therefore the attachments is to the implied promise that it is the thinking itself that is the road to happiness (wealth, success, love, etc.)
To let go of the thinking therefore seems frightening because it is also seen as the main tool of survival; plus it is 'me'. As 'me', it is viewed as unique, personal, and precious, and it constitutes the main data base of identification of 'who I am'.
The fear of loss of self-identity brings up resistance. As we get closer to the discovery of the source of the ego's tenacity, we make the amazing critical discovery that ''we are enamored with our self".
* There are two types of surrender
1. Surrender as attitude and
2. Surrender of specifics.
Surrender as attitude is when you say “whatever will be will be”. You go with the flow, either way will be fine. See the positive in any outcome.
* Constantly surrendering your will to God allows you to notice the spontaneity of life without putting forth your own agenda. You pull back. You are the witness. You pull back from being in the middle of the drama to being the witness, to being the watcher, to being the whole context in which everything occurs. You make that a style, a way of being in the world. You are not doing. You are allowing.

Lone tree by the shoreline of Pagbilao Province, Quezon, Philippines. Finally got to take out the 5dmk3 from sunrise to sunset for some test images. It's been 3 months since my last time out on the field, a good time to get out for some getting in shape shooting. The Mark III exposes clean and fast in Infrared, but do take note that the other considerations in shooting IR images such as, light spills and leaks, position vs the sun, focus shifts, covering your camera etc etc are still mandatories.
