This image's story I think is pretty self explanatory, a sad picture but a beautiful one as well.
Another image I took during this past semester for school. This was a picture I took earlier on in my process of learning how to do underwater photography. I have been teaching myself through online videos, websites anything I can get my hands on. I have learned the importance of taking pictures in diffused light, since it allows me to have a somewhat Renaissance look to my images with the way it lights and sculpts the body in the water.
The surrender, which took place 21 – 27 November, saw 332 weapons handed in at police stations across Greater Manchester.
Samurai swords, kukri knives and a machete were among the haul of weapons dropped off by residents.
The anonymous surrender was supported by Rhian Jones, the mother of Dominic Doyle who was tragically stabbed to death on a night out in Tameside. He was just 21 years old when he died.
The knives will now be donated to the British Ironworks Centre, who will melt them down and transform into a statue in memory to those that have lost their life to knife crime.
Chief Inspector Debbie Dooley said: “During this one week alone, more than 300 knives were surrendered by members of the public, meaning there are fewer weapons on the streets that could potentially fall into the wrong hands.
“We’re pleased so many people took the opportunity to safely dispose of their bladed items and would like to thank the community for helping us to reduce knife crime and make the streets safer, which will ultimately save lives.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle said: “There has been a fantastic response from the public to this campaign and I want to say thank you. Your support has led to the surrender of more than 300 knives, taking them out of circulation and putting them into safe hands.”
To report a crime, call Greater Manchester Police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Inspired by the Dag Nasty version of The Ruts track Staring At The Rude Boys (from the awesome album Field Day – 1988)
...a voice shouts loud
“we’ll never surrender”
a voice in the crowd
“we’ll never surrender”
a hand in the air fight propaganda
never surrender, never surrender…
The final image in this series. I think it was Oscar Wilde that said, "the only way to get rid of temptation, is to yield to it."
Surrendering is not a weakness. At the contrary it is strength. The surrender stops living in boiling water and starts living in a secure place.

Surrender (28"h x 26"w x 8"d) by Kaleo Ching

Poem by Elise Dirlam Ching
This long road:
neck arched as the heron's
to seek through moss on forest fingers
where silver throated owl makes song
and larvae of the spirit
work in silence to make a new world.
Oh, fertile darkness where misery sulks
a drunken shadow with no attachment
and moist earth trembles toward the light
that glows regardless of all suns.
All the while the heart full knowing
thumps its way to the pull of the polestar.

There's a bike trail I frequent that runs alongside a creek. At one point it passes beneath a bridge, where you can still see the detritus left by earlier flooding. To me, there's something both alarming and oddly comforting to see the evidence that such a small, tame little creek can be transformed into a ferocious torrent.
I went up to Powell Butte as part of a field trip for a Newspace class I am taking; The Enigmatic Landscape taught by Christine Eagon.
So first thing, I was completely inspired by Rosie Hardy's photo, so this definitely isn't 100% original. I added my own twist and interpretation of it, of course, but I wanted to give credit where credit is due.
I absolutely loved this concept though. I instantly felt something and could relate to it. The past few years has been crazy in both good and bad ways. I have evolved and changed into a person I never thought I could become and it's an incredible thing.
As I look back at my journey I have seen myself surrender to my demons and have allowed them to completely consume my body and soul. I have also seen myself fight through it once I realized there is so much more to me and so much potential in my life. I have surrendered to trying to find my way and fix myself on my own. This life is not meant to be lived alone, bot not in an unhealthy codependent way. We can gather so much wisdom from each other if we are willing to listen.
Sometimes it's good to surrender - by surrender I mean giving ourselves a break, but never giving up, although letting go is another huge lesson I have learned, but thats for another time - because once we step back and look at our life or particular situation from a different perspective epiphanies and/or lessons can be learned. We can find a new route to take we otherwise would not have taken.
I hope all is well with you all. It's good to finally be back.
It's been a bit chilly the last couple nights. Well, actually a LOT chilly with temperatures I don't remember even seeing last winter nevermind this winter. That's keep me from wandering far with the camera or setting up long exposure photos after work. I saw this on the way out of the office, a little white flag marking where the sprinkler heads are for the spring landscaping work but when I saw it I had another vision altogether.....
1945
war is over, the German garrison has negotiated a ceasefire with allied forces, disarmed and disconsolate, the Haupt-Bereichsleiter, (zone leader ) leads his men out of the fortress for the last time, to begin the long journey back to Germany.
