shot from my Oly....
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.......
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.
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.”

"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.
*David R. Hawkins
“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.

..... or is it forced upon? or just a convenience?
religion is looked upon differently by each person, to me each is a different form of surrender to faith, some for convenience, some for the benefits, some in times of need and very rarely for nothing at all - the absolute surrender.
ps : I won't be able to comment regularly for sometime - will be in to post photos whenever possible though ;)
Happy independance day India ;)

This image is part of my metamorphosis series on humans becoming nature. Here a man has come to accept his transformation, he’s at peace and in deep surrender.
The first step of change in life is accepting and acknowledging it. Only when you’ve accepted something then can you embrace it and start learning/growing from it. When we change we experience loss and shed a part of ourselves to gain and attribute the new parts that are forming. But accepting change is not some ethereal ideal, you have to be willing to plan and take the necessary actions that are the steps and stages for growth.
As this year is coming to a close this image is important for me to reflect upon the personal changes I’ve experienced this year and what it took to get me where I am now. I was in a very different and dark place earlier this year but have emerged from such pain into much more joy with many new friends who have helped me along the way. I’ve never been so excited for the things I have planned for next year! Thanks to my friends for playing such important parts to my well being and I hope you are able to take some time out to reflect upon your year and the journey it’s taken you. Thanks to everyone else for following my journey, I hope in some way I have given some inspiration to your lives and hope you will spread your own to others.
The palace reliefs were fixed to the walls of royal palaces forming continuous strips along the walls of large halls. The style apparently began after about 879 BC, when Ashurnasirpal II moved the capital to Nimrud, near modern Mosul in northern Iraq. Thereafter, new royal palaces, of which there was typically one per reign, were extensively decorated in this way for the roughly 250 years until the end of the Assyrian Empire. There was subtle stylistic development, but a very large degree of continuity in subjects and treatment.
Compositions are arranged on slabs, or orthostats, typically about 7 feet high, using between one and three horizontal registers of images, with scenes generally reading from left to right. The sculptures are often accompanied with inscriptions in cuneiform script, explaining the action or giving the name and extravagant titles of the king. Heads and legs are shown in profile, but torsos in a front or three-quarters view, as in earlier Mesopotamian art. Eyes are also largely shown frontally. Some panels show only a few figures at close to life-size, such scenes usually including the king and other courtiers, but depictions of military campaigns include dozens of small figures, as well as many animals and attempts at showing landscape settings.
Campaigns focus on the progress of the army, including the fording of rivers, and usually culminates in the siege of a city, followed by the surrender and paying of tribute, and the return of the army home. A full and characteristic set shows the campaign leading up to the siege of Lachish in 701; it is the "finest" from the reign of Sennacherib, from his palace at Nineveh and now in the British Museum. Ernst Gombrich observed that none of the many casualties ever come from the Assyrian side. Another famous sequence there shows the Lion Hunt of Ashurbanipal, in fact the staged and ritualized killing by King Ashurbanipal of lions already captured and released into an arena, from the North Palace at Nineveh. The realism of the lions has always been praised, and the scenes are often regarded as "the supreme masterpieces of Assyrian art", although the pathos modern viewers tend to feel was perhaps not part of the Assyrian response.
There are many reliefs of minor supernatural beings, called by such terms as "winged genie", but the major Assyrian deities are only represented by symbols. The "genies" often perform a gesture of purification, fertilization or blessing with a bucket and cone; the meaning of this remains unclear., Especially on larger figures, details and patterns on areas such as costumes, hair and beards, tree trunks and leaves, and the like, are very meticulously carved. More important figures are often shown larger than others, and in landscapes more distant elements are shown higher up, but not smaller than, those in the foreground, though some scenes have been interpreted as using scale to indicate distance. Other scenes seem to repeat a figure in a succession of different moments, performing the same action, most famously a charging lion. But these were apparently experiments that remain unusual.
The king is often shown in narrative scenes, and also as a large standing figure in a few prominent places, generally attended by winged genies. A composition repeated twice in what is traditionally called the "throne-room" (though perhaps it was not) of Ashurbanipal's palace at Nimrud shows a "Sacred Tree" or "Tree of Life" flanked by two figures of the king, with winged genies using the bucket and cone behind him. Above the tree one of the major gods, perhaps Ashur the chief god, leans out of a winged disc, relatively small in scale. Such scenes are shown elsewhere on the robe of the king, no doubt reflecting embroidery on the real costumes, and the major gods are normally shown in discs or purely as symbols hovering in the air. Elsewhere the tree is often attended to by genies.
Women are relatively rarely shown, and then usually as prisoners or refugees; an exception is a "picnic" scene showing Ashurbanipal with his queen. The many beardless royal attendants can probably be assumed to be eunuchs, who ran much of the administration of the empire, unless they also have the shaved heads and very tall hats of priests. Kings are often accompanied by several courtiers, the closest to the king probably often being the appointed heir, who was not necessarily the oldest son.
The enormous scales of the palace schemes allowed narratives to be shown at an unprecedentedly expansive pace, making the sequence of events clear and allowing richly detailed depictions of the activities of large numbers of figures, not to be paralleled until the Roman narrative column reliefs of the Column of Trajan and Column of Marcus Aurelius.
