This is from a contest/show I'm in called "The Internet's Most Talented Photographer", the challenge this week was "Erotica". I understood from the previous rounds that commercial photographers tend to judge photos as that, commercial. So I kept it simple this round and didn't go for anything that could be considered sleazy, the judges liked it and I'm in the next round. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBemseztxhQ&feature=channel_v...

They can grip, rip, hold and tear flesh, the talons of a hawk are very powerful. The Female Red-tailed Hawk that I encountered discretely shows me hers.

She is a custom WW by the talented Nanuka (thank you very much Naiara!) and my Christmas present from my mother
I´m completely in love with her :)
I had seen her before on the Nanuka´s flickr but I was told she was a a custom comissioned for my mom (I never knew that Fugazi was for me until I opened my Christmas present and I realized what was in the box). So thanks very much to my mom for such a great present again and thanksvery much to Naiara (aka Nanuka) for keeping this secret safe and making this beatiful and stunning custom girl.
It was an awesome Christmas present and one of the most nice days of my life.
hugs and happy new year everyone!
Algunos ya la conocereis por el flickr de nanuka, yo tb flipé cuando la vi allí porque me quedé realmente impresionada de lo bonita que era y además porque pensaba que la tendría pronto cerca ya que supustamente era un encargo que realizó Naiara para mi madre. Lo que nunca imaginé es que sería mi regalo de Navidad... Muchas gracias tanto a mi madre por un regalo tan maravilloso como este, como a Naiara por mantener tan bien guardado el secreto y por hacer una nena tan especial. Ha sido un regalo maravilloso, me encanta toda ella y sobre todo ha sido tan especial como inesperado, estoy aún en una nube!
Venía empaquetada en una caja preciosa y llena de detalles como ella, mil gracias a las dos de nuevo! Ha sido uno de los mejores regalos que me han hecho en mi vida!
Felíz año nuevo a todos!

I appreciate every day that I am, but I have met some extraordinary Ladies here on Flickr! Here's to You!
To flip a good sized Blue Gill takes a lot of skill as this Belted Kingfisher demonstrated for several minutes at a pond in Kent Washington this morning. Too big to eat he tried to force it down but the fish needed some "fashioning" before he could gulp it down.
My unbelievably talented friend Margie is arriving tonight from Canada!
I still cannot believe I will have the privilege of finally meeting her in person
and get to spend some creative time together here in Mexico.
Bienvenida Margie! Mi casa es tu casa :)
All of the gorgeous photos and artwork above are hers.
I highly recommend you give your eyes a treat at her blog:
1. gathered art materials, 2. pine and spruce cones, 3. shibori spiral indigo dyed, 4. adventures in spore printing, 5. wrapped, unwrapped and to wrap with, 6. unwrapped, 7. soaring like an arrow, 8. liberty spider on a screen printed web stone, 9. slow sparrow stitching
This challenge is very late and it was called "A Blush of Colour". I think I got a little carried away with the colour...it's definitely more than a blush. I did have fun. I wish I would have used Permanent Rose for the underpainting instead of Scarlet Lake.

Today's special guest is one super cute and lovely girl among the most talented and appreciated young SL bloggers. In a very short time she could conquer many of the most famous Second Life brands with her talent and her fresh, adorable style. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the cutest, the sweetest, the gorgeous (as well as my lil SL sis): Ms. Andie Panda !
Cla - Hi, sis! I've finally dragged you here hehe. Are you ready? Okay, let's get serious and let's start! First of all, thank you so much for accepting to be interviewed
Andie - Aw, thank you so much for asking me to be part of this series, sis. I’m super excited to tell a little bit of my Second Life story!
C. - Let's go back to your first steps on Second Life. Your partner Pengu in NSLS ep.2 told us how back in 2019 you and him started your SL together (www.flickr.com/photos/164400702@N02/52248516615/in/datepo...). What was, at that time, your first impression about this little magical word?
A. – Yeah! Um, I first became aware of SL a couple years before I joined. Only in passing though, I didn’t really know what it was other than being a virtual world. So, the first time I made an account and logged in I was pretty amazed by how expansive the world was. There is so much to explore, and to get involved in. Of course, for me, all the different clothes and mesh bodies and heads were what really drew me in. I was pretty immediately taken with the idea of creating this totally unique avi that could look like anything I imagined it to. To this day I love reinventing my look and exploring the endless lovely sims that make up SL.
C. - With time you got interested into SL photography and blogging. Now you blog for some important SL brands like Tres Blah, Foxy, Mellowcute, Foxcity and many others. Can you tell us how and when did your blogger experience begin? What is your style, the magic ingredient that makes your sl photography unique?
A. - It was really Pengu who introduced me to SL Flickr, and since then I have been in awe of the beautiful art that is uploaded daily. He got into taking pictures before I did, mostly because my laptop at the time was not able to keep up. I would take pictures and they would just be so pixelated, but I would post them on my Flickr and be so proud of my 10 likes!
I really got into blogging in June of 2021. That was when Pengu got his first sponsorship, and to be honest I was a little jealous! I spent most of that summer blogging for a couple newer brands and really focusing on growing my follower count and learning editing software and Black Dragon which changed my photography game immensely. Foxcity was my first major sponsor. Our mutual friend, Ethan Lane, pushed me to enter her blogging contest and I was one of the people chosen, I remember feeling really intimidated but that was when blogging became more than just snapping a cute picture. It’s really about representing brands to the best of my ability because I love their work.
As far as my style, I don’t know that I could nail it down in one specific category. I’ll go, you know, months of doing lots of girly and pink and pretty pictures and then on a whim I’ll want to do darker and grittier things. Last October I really embraced Halloween and did a lot of witchy, more gothic pictures. So, I guess what makes my style unique is that it is always changing!
C. - I know you like to "collect" SL mesh heads, just like me. Do you have a favorite one?
A. – Collect is a very nice way of saying ‘spend way too much money on’ hahahahahha. Um, much like with my style fashion-wise, I feel like I am constantly reinventing my avi to fit with whatever mood I am feeling at the moment. When you and I first met I wore Lelutka Ceylon pretty much all the time. Prior to that I was wearing a lot of Glam Affair skins and I loved the Genus heads. Right now, I’m wearing Briannon. As far as a favorite, it’s so hard to pick just one. I still have fond feelings for my Genus Baby head and the original Lelutka Evolution Nova head.
C. - We all know love is a great source of inspiration, and we can see your sparking creativity at its best in all your couple photos with your partner Pengu. Some of those pics are currently featured, until the end of September, at The Gallery of Photographic Art for the "Three couples telling their stories" exhibit (here the slurl for our viewers who'd like to visit it: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Goldbach/210/153/25 ).
Would you like to tell us something about your story? What is your (second) life with Pengu -and Pengy, the little penguin who joined your family- like?
A. – Aw, Pengu. He is a huge part of my life in and out of SL. Our friendship first started when we bonded over a shared enjoyment of writing stories and from there, we found out we have a lot in common. He’s so funny and so kind. And he is endlessly supportive of me. He is the one who really gave me that nudge to start getting into taking pictures, and from there encouraged me to get into blogging. He makes me laugh and he always knows how to pick me up when I get down on myself. I could never say enough about what an amazing person he is and just how much I love him.
I think at our cores, Pengu and I tend to be more introverted unless we are around the amazing friends we’ve met in world. So, a lot of the time we are just quietly at home, planning pictures or going to shopping events. And of course, whatever we do, we cannot do it without Pengy. I like to joke with Pengu that Pengy is a bit of a diva, and that he has been in more collab pictures than Pengu and I combined. But I love the little guy. How could you not, he’s adorable.
C. - You also are a very good writer, and you just mentioned how you met Pengu thanks to your mutual passion for writing. Last year, this led you two to create a great romantic series titled "August" about two lovers who lose and then find themselves again (www.flickr.com/photos/pengu_wes/albums/72157719750391407). The story is very beautifully co-written by you and Pengu and masterfully illustrated by you both in your respective versions. Would you like to make more photo-series like that? Can we expect for more of those?
A. – Oh yes, the August series. That story was one that Pengu and I dreamed up together probably a year before we turned it into the photo series, and it was so amazingly fun to see characters we’d created be translated into a new format. It was just really special. As far as would we do another series, you know, I think that if the inspiration were to strike then nothing is out of the question. We have several other stories that I think would make for a fun, engaging series. So I guess we will see what the future brings!
C. - Is there one photo you particularly love, among all the ones you took, and we can watch on your Flickr?
A. – Oh man, it is difficult to choose a favorite! I have so many pictures that I love and that have done well, but I think the first one that comes to mind is www.flickr.com/photos/andie_panda/52014566831/in/dateposted/
It was such a fun picture to take, I love the vintage vibes, and I feel like it really captures Pengu and I’s relationship!
C. - Our interview is almost over. I'm gonna set you free, sis. But not before inviting you to ask yourself a question and give yourself an answer.
A. – I’m going to use my question to ask you a question, sis! I would love to know what picture from your Flickr is your personal favorite?
And thank you again for having me. This was so much fun and I am super excited to see who is next!
C. - Haaa, you got me, sis! Now I realize how hard is to respond this question. Well, the pics from my flickr I love the most are the ones I took with the ones I love. Those are certainly the most meaningful and important, my little memories. So I'm gonna take this chance to remember of our first pic taken together www.flickr.com/photos/164400702@N02/51357074571/
Thank you kindly Andie for answering my questions and let us to know better about the wonderful girl you are, your fantastic photo skills and your interesting sweet world!

Tribute
A partial photograph taken of Prince's 1984 record album cover:
Purple Rain
Prince and the Revolution
( Vintage album from own personal vinyl collection:)
Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016) was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer and actor. Prince was renowned as an innovator and was widely known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence and vocal range. He is regarded as the pioneer of Minneapolis sound; his music integrates a wide variety of styles, including funk, rock, R&B, soul, psychedelia and pop.
Prince was born in Minneapolis and developed an interest in music as a young child, writing his first song when he was seven years old. After recording songs with his cousin's band 94 East, 19-year-old Prince recorded several unsuccessful demo tapes before releasing his debut album For You in 1978, under the guidance of manager Owen Husney. His 1979 album Prince went platinum due to the success of the singles "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover". His next three records—Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982)—continued his success, showcasing Prince's trademark of prominently sexual lyrics and incorporation of elements of funk, dance, and rock music. In 1984, he began referring to his backup band as The Revolution and released Purple Rain, which served as the soundtrack to his film debut of the same name. A prolific songwriter, Prince in the 1980s wrote songs for and produced work by many other acts, often under pseudonyms.
After releasing the albums Around the World in a Day (1985) and Parade (1986), The Revolution disbanded and Prince released the double album Sign o' the Times (1987) as a solo artist. He released three more solo albums before debuting The New Power Generation band in 1991. He changed his stage name in 1993 to an unpronounceable symbol Prince logo.svg, also known as the "Love Symbol". He then began releasing new albums at a faster pace to remove himself from contractual obligations to Warner Bros.; he released five records between 1994 and 1996 before signing with Arista Records in 1998. In 2000, he began referring to himself as "Prince" again. He released 15 albums after that; his final album, HITnRUN Phase Two, was first released exclusively on the Tidal streaming service on December 11, 2015. On April 15, 2016, while he was on tour, Prince's private plane made an emergency landing in Illinois and he was admitted to a hospital with flu-like symptoms. On April 21, 2016, he died at his Paisley Park recording studio and home in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year of his eligibility.Rolling Stone ranked Prince at number 27 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

featuring the incredibly talented Nirrimi Joy Firebrace
Nirrimi in reality is so much more than what you see or know of her online. She's funny, charming, silly with an infectious laugh. Her love for her daughter, her self belief and strength in facing negative attention is inspiring. At first she was nervous about being photographed but I'm so happy we did this.. literally moments before I jumped into a taxi to leave the country. In that moment I soaked in everything beautiful that I was leaving behind. I loved the air with breezes carrying with it the laughter of life long friends, the sweet smells of flowers, the soft earth beneath my feet, the little pricks of indignant ants as I careless moved about and this girl in front of me with wide water eyes and the reason I was even here..

A collaboration between myself and the extremely talented Jen Brook
Jen is a fantastically creative model who's been collaborating with Photographers for her 'Dream Catcher Project' for just over a year now. When I received the e-mail from Jen I was so excited to work with her and knew that it'd be a brilliant experience.
The way her project works is Jen sends a photographer a concept or idea she has in mind, and then as a team, they'll work together to create a polished outcome. Well for me it was a little different. I received the word 'Pumpkin' and I think there was something in there about 'muted tones' and so 3 months later, in the early days of September we shot a full conceptual story. I've been wanting to post these images since I shot them almost a month ago now, but we both agreed that it'd be best to release around October and the Halloween season!
This shoot took so much planning and organisation and I'd really like to thank everyone who was involved, particularly my contact at the Pumpkin farm who let us shoot there and have full freedom of his land! And my wonderful MUA who did an excellent job, despite being under the weather.
Plenty more images from this series to be posted, keep your eyes open!

Partner, you are super talented and that pushed me to create something I think is pretty cool. I hope you love these as much as I enjoyed making them! Sewing machine cover made using the Beyond Measure pattern, slightly adapted in size to fit my partner's machine. Fabric bowl made using the 7" size of the Nesting Fabric Bowls pattern. The idea of adding binding around the top came from Amy/badskirt's version.
The talented & gorgeous Ms. Ella asked me to take a shot of my iced tea and here it is. It's not a great shot but this is all that I have today.
I took last night off from flickr'ing to process some of my friend's baby photos. =) Have a nice weekend, everyone...

When we visited Central park recently we saw this guy playing this instrument, he was really talented, we did ask what the name of the instrument was, but sounded like something bigger than wheelbarrow and harder to pronounce let alone spell, the sun has finally made an appearance here hope it stays for at least some of the weekend
UPDATE- thanks to Michelle in NY for telling me the instrument is called a dulcimer, they way he said it it sounded a more complicated name to me LOL

On a recent trip to France and was about to wrap up my walk-around shooting day in Montpellier, France. All a sudden, I ran into this gorgeous artist. She put up quite a performance on the street, I was immediately attracted by her dance, thank you very much for the great performance, wish you all the best in pursuing joy of dance.

This is very similar to this photo from my last 365 project, and for good reason. The evenings before and after I took that photo I was assisting the students that I work with in a theatrical performance, much like I will be doing tonight.
The students that I work with are incredible, they are diverse and talented in many ways and have had to overcome challenges their entire lives. They aren't the students that get asked to dances or get picked to play on teams during gym although it's something that they desperately want. They are students with Autism, the ones with Downs Syndrome, the ones who typically get labeled as different or weird or many other terrible terms.
But, in this theatre class, they are actors. They are set designers, they are collaborators, they are students. For the past 3 years our school has developed a theatre program designed specifically to showcase inclusion and diversity and to celebrate the talent and accomplishments of ALL our students, regardless of ability levels. In the play tonight the cast is made up of students and adult supports that are putting aside diagnosis or disability and focusing on theatre and the chance to show the community what people can achieve when given the opportunity.
I go into work each day, yes because it's my job, but moreso because I look forward to interacting with these students, helping them learn and accomplish their goals and help them to feel like they belong in the school community. Tonight I'll be standing behind them, watching them step forward into centre stage and I know that I'll be beaming with pride and admiration for what they're doing and what they're achieving.

This is my best/favorite painting that I had ever done. It was a photo of a horse on the cover of a magazine, and I liked it, but I completely changed the background color LOL
I did it for our art exhibition way back when I used to be at school (Grade 12). It took me a month to complete it, I used to work on it in my breaktime, and in art classes!
it's the last painting I've done, I haven't painted or sketched anything since 2002!! I feel like I can't do it anymore, and I feel like I lost it.. college work took my time and attention..! :s allah y'3arbel el klyeh !!
this one is dedicated to "Le'3z" (This is the painting) LOL

The amazing and talented Jenna has a new music CD out so we took a few new photos for her. You can visit her page here:
The plan for the photos was fairly simple, just pick a clean background in soft light, shoot at a wide aperture for the bokeh, and maintain focus on the eye. She sure does all the rest nicely....:) Thank you for you kind visits my friends!
