Tribute To George Michael by Daniel Arrhakis (2016)
With the music : George Michael - One More Try
and : George Michael - Careless Whisper (Official Video)
Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (1963 – 2016), known professionally as George Michael, was an English singer, songwriter, and record producer, initially a member of the music duo Wham.
He was best known in the 1980s and 1990s with his style of post-disco dance-pop, with many best-selling songs such as "Last Christmas", "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", "One More Try", " Careless Whisper", and many others ....
My special homage to this unique artist that marked a entire generation, a generation who fought for freedom and the acceptance of the right to a different sexuality !
Work based and modified of George Michael in a collection of photos from 1988 of his FAITH Tour by the photographer Chris Cuffaro :

even if we raise walls not to see the pain
and we put boundaries to not recognize love.”

anche se noi alziamo muri per non vedere il dolore
e mettiamo confini per non riconoscere l'amore.”

All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina (Sicily);
I made photos related to "street photography";
I made portraits of people I did not know, this certainly thanks to their sympathy and availability, I thank them very much;
I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.
---------------------------------------------------------
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina (Sicilia);
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho realizzato dei ritratti di persone che non conoscevo, questo certamente grazie alla loro simpatia e disponibilità, li ringrazio davvero molto;
ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

Just visible in the far distance is the blast furnace of British Steel, Redcar, which was brought down by explosives on 23rd November 2022 in preparation for future regeneration of the site. The landscape will be completely different without it, having dominated the skyline since 1979

Thanks to all that have followed me this year, stopped by and been good enough to fave or comment on my photos, it is much appreciated. I hope you have a peaceful Christmas and Happy 2025!
On Sunday we went to Goodwood Festival of Speed, which you must go to if you like cars and or motor racing as it's such a fun day out. We were supposed to be meeting my Grandad there but unfortunately he was admitted to hospital that morning, so if he couldn't come to Goodwood then Goodwood must come to him. Hence I took a stupid number of shots of cars and one of Lewis Hamilton [you have to squint] and a few other famous people [according to my dad] who I didn't know from Adam. Sadly he won't get to see them.
So this is for you GD, I like to think that in your last hours high on all that morphine that you were driving bloody fast, smoking a big fat cigar and sticking your fingers up at the world. xx
Do you like to do the Floss?
Are you anxious for your next victory royale amongst 9 year olds?
"The F%#k You Say To Me You Little S%#t ~ Ninja" is your favourite meme?
You enjoy dancing on top of your kills ingame?
then carry on because this is not for you then :p
You can Grab this Spetsnaz Helmet at DRD for free as a groupgift this month and look totally badass.

I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen with my eyes!
Shimmering in silky tones I discovered these, a mix if white and pink I had NEVER seen before!
The petals look 'waxy' but feel silky soft!
The peony was originally introduced as medicine.
In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means ‘medicine from China’.
However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed. In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.
THANKS for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

This is my entry to the Postcard Mail Art Exhibition at the Birmingham Zine Festival.
The festival is happening from the 10th-12th September with a zine fair being held on the 11th. It should be a cool and crafty weekend, so if you're in the area it's well worth checking out. I'll be mooching about at some point I'm sure.
And if you've entered something to the Postcard Exhibition too then you might just get this in the post!
when the people come together they make things start... series
______________
Its time to change as we assess ourselves
And dont be blind by the material wealth
Free the Spirit cause it might discard
Through the eye of a needle
And your way is barred
To another level but 1 step higher
me myself and I just try to inspire
Those who have and those that wait
You could have my hand well if i was a saint
Freedom Fighters Fight For Love
Im praying to the skies above
Freedom Fighters fight for love
Haaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaa
They once built a wall A man made solution
Many Feet high a barbed wire intrusion
On humanity and its family ties
no matter how faint you could hear the cries
droplets of tears have over the years
Been wrote to the wall
And now it disappears before me
means its pieces apart
when the people come together they make things start
Freedom Fighters Fight For Love
Im praying to the skies above
Freedom Fighters fight for love
Haaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaa
Let ya Sunflowers away from the rain
deprived of water yet they maintain
that its neccessary to stick around in space
when they wont even feed the human race
They rape my land now theres nothing left
a child in my womb and no milk from my breast
Im the worlds problem but wheres the solution
if youve you made enough profit now take your pollution
with you
Please
Love can help
We can help it
Love can help
We can help it
The words have more power than the gun
by the freedom of speech its still denied to some
Channing square was a cry of hope
politicians did nothing not even a life rope
never let your dreams disappear
because the future of words can cause such fear
its set by many or even if you remember
we have the power to change things too
Freedom Fighters Fight For Love
Im praying to the skies above
Freedom Fighters fight for love
Haaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaa
Freedom Fighters Fight For Love
Im praying to the skies above
Freedom Fighters fight for love
Haaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaa
to the skies
pray to the skies
pray to the skies

Indian Hill & Iron Range steam locomotive returns back to the tiny engine house at the end of the day, 8-11-58. View looking north. Original slide in my collection, Louis Cerny photo.
Having spent time climbing around on the abandoned rotary car dumper (located at Calumet Ave. and the Lakefront in Whiting IN.) as a kid in the late 1970's, I've always been fascinated with this operation.
Had to build something for "Dronuaray" so I did. This was built on the dying out time of my builder's block. Unarmed, even though it may seen like it. I see way to many with big ol' guns...
If this looks familiar to some, it is because it's a recrop of a photo already in my photostream. This variation was suggested in feedback from a Flickr friend Matt (a.k.a. Facing The World) who suggested I try cropping some off the top and the left side.
Cropping is an art form in and of itself and one is always learning. Non-photographers often criticize portraits that have part of the hat or the top of the head cropped, even though doing so can frequently result in a more intimate connection to the all-important eyes.
With the original crop of this photo I was lazy and left too much foliage to the left which did not contribute much so getting rid of it makes sense (thanks Matt).
In my original version of the photo, frankly, I got hung up on including all of her hair, thinking it was essential to the portrait.
Flickr is a place for displaying but also for learning. One must remain open to feedback from friends so here is the suggested version. I have included the original (below) to make the comparison easier.
As is so often the case, tastes vary and there is not always a right or wrong. I leave it to you to decide which you like best and either way I think you will agree that she's a beauty.
to thank you for your kind comments and awards!
- Dédiée à tous...
afin de vour remercier pour vos gentils commentaires et awards!
sorry.. I just can't get enough of these beauties...

Back to Costa Rica, San Gerardo de Dota this time.
It is really incredible how fast those little hummingbirds fly. And I've got a trash bin full of proof that it really is extremely difficult to catch them in flight. So when this Green Violetear hovered just long enough for the focus to catch on I couldn't have been more happy.

I didn't plan on ever uploading this, but I've been deprived of time to take new pictures and I really wanted to upload something. It's kind of growing on me though :)

This was an incredible scene where the clouds formed birds which looked to be moving towards the light and then there was this puddle with superb calmness for me to catch the reflections too. :)
Move to the light my friend, to the light ..
Full-screen view recommended.
This view to the northwest shows tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad at Beowawe, Nevada. At left is the former Southern Pacific track. At center are two connector tracks one of which has been abandoned. At far right is the former Western Pacific track. Both "former" tracks were shiny from heavy use.
Ever since I discovered the name "Beowawe" I have been curious about the landscape there. So, when driving west on Interstate 80 in 2011, I left he freeway and drove south to check out this tiny community. It's a lonely place with very few inhabitants. I hoped to see a train during my hour-long mid-day visit, but none showed up.
Beowawe is south of I-80, about mid-way between Carlin and Battle Mountain.
He looks pretty comfortable to me, even though his pillow looks kind of hard and lumpy! Took this at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. Look how white his tooth is! LOL! =o)

I seem to shoot in phases these days. Suddenly the bug bites and I want to take a picture or two. That happened today following brief contact with Jim.
Thanks Jim.
The orchids are a lovely gift from Steve & Linda.
Thank you Steve and Linda.

I decided to have some fun and revisit old Bionicle head ideas that never got turned into full builds, redesigning and improving them along the way. The results still aren't full builds exactly, but they're presentable at least. In this case, I'd had the idea for the head for four years, but decided to add antlers in a random moment of inspiration just because.
Building this little weirdo was entertaining enough that I made two more, which I'll post tomorrow and the day after.
