"there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.
people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.
people just are not good to each other
one on one.
the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.
we are afraid.
our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.
it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.
or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone
untouched
unspoken to
watering a plant."
— Charles Bukowski

The tomato plants are still surviving in my greenhouse and the tomatoes are slowly ripening. I tried shooting this for the Macro Mondays Green theme, but liked my weeping spruce shot better for that theme. I think this shot works for Texture Tuesday though. HTT
in our culture of busyness and distraction, important things get lost: compassion, creativity, and presence. when i'm in a rush or lost in thoughts, i more easily box people into "other." but when i pause, i see our interconnection. it's not my pain or your pain, it's just pain. i can breathe in the collective pain, and breathe out love, acceptance, and compassion—compassion for myself, for friends, for strangers; compassion for the world.
A little lace, a little leather and a rough concrete wall.
B&W shows the shadows and different textures so well. I kept the overall image "softer" than my usual B&W images which are normally in sharp focus.
I hope you like this image.

This was taken at Picacho Peak State Park in Arizona. My friend, BillyZ and I went out with a strobe, soft box and a reflector one afternoon to exploit nature stuff. This is the skeleton of a saguaro cactus that was decaying slowly in the Arizona desert.
Lighting stuff: Lit with a Yongnuo 560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box from camera left at 10 o'clock to create the side lighting that reveals shapes and textures. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. Fill light came from a reflector on the right side.
Other pictures that I've taken of cactus are in my Cactus and Succulents album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant album. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
Hand held panning bulb shot of 10 hanging light bulbs on a string. I took this shot while i was on a boat pointing towards downtown Portland at dusk. The lights in the background are from the buildings
