"Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get."~Ray Kroc

Maybe this is why I found the four leaf clover today!

Here is a new piece entitled The Sovereign Sweat.

 

I've been trying my hand at some Photoshop painting techniques over the last little while, something I haven't done in over a year since the Blind series in 2007. This poster design is influenced by old school movie posters, painted by people like Drew Struzan, Richard Amsel and Bob peak, as well as the James Bond book covers created by Michael Gillette.

 

Here is a detail.

 

I had lots of fun doing this piece, and might explore the style a bit more once I get my footing. I'm sure this poster will land in the Signalnoise Store at some point.

A tiny Lasioglossum sp. on Rudbeckia laciniata. I captured this image in my pollinator garden in August 2024.

Yesterday I heard on the radio a piece about actresses filing complaints about make-up artists and camera operators not hiding lines, wrinkles and blemishes in the new HD format.

I'm pretty sure true beauty only gets more beautiful the closer you get.

Working Swamp Milkweed flowers and having a bit if an issue with pollinia (packets of pollen) stuck to its feet.

(No es el mejor encuadre, pero me gusta tal y como está)

 

I'm sweating,

and breathing

and staring and thinking

and sinking

deeper.

It's almost like I'm swimming.

 

The sun is burning hot again

on the hunter

and the fisherman,

and he's trying to remember when,

but it makes him dizzy.

 

Seems like I've been here before.

Seems so familiar.

Seems like I'm slipping

into a dream within a dream.

 

Must be the way you whisper.

 

The sun is setting cool again.

I'm the thinker

and the fisherman

and I'm trying to remember when

but it makes me dizzy.

deeper

into a dream within a dream.

It's the way you whisper.

It drags me under

and takes me home.

 

Family Halictidae, Genus Agapostemon. Hanging out on some common milkweed in my garden.

Metallic Sweat Bee (Subgenus Dialictus)

i was hoping I had mopped up the beads of sweat across my upper lip...I guess not.

oops-

The sweat bees seem to really like the black eyed susans in my yard.

Huh! I've been working with chore and washing cloths...now I'm sweat and no make up! hahaha :-P

I was out looking for new species of bugs to photograph when I found this small striped sweat bee. I didn't mange to get a shot with perfect focus before it flew off, so this is a record shot for my prairie bee and wasp species set until I can do better.

This was 3 hours into my trip... I was so beyond hot.. I was almost numb....

and yes my glasses arent cute :-) they were a buck!

Along with a couple of ants, too. Seen in the field...

This one not in a dandelion for a change!

that's my sweat angel (in case you were wondering)

"You want me to do what? I think today is... more of a horizontal running type of day.."

Outtakes from this week's assignment in my 52 Week Project.

I am not sure what damaged this Sweat Bee's eye, but it is not unusual to see that kind of damage. The bee was acting normally, and flew off after it got tired of me sticking the camera into its face. Sweat Bees (Halictidae) are known to bed down together in groups, and there are over a dozen that are using one of my Geranium flowers as a hostel.

 

Possibly Halictus sexcinctus.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F14, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to over 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI and Clarity in that order.

I can't remember why I took this photo but I think it was probably to illustrate how much I was sweating. The first couple of weeks in Italy I felt like I sweat more than I had in all the rest of the weeks of my life combined.
