Avis à tous les stressés !
Je transmets ce tuyau, parce que pour moi ça a marché :
A la télé j'ai regardé une émission, dans laquelle un représentant du Dalaï-lama affirmait que pour obtenir la paix intérieure nous devions toujours finir ce que nous avions commencé, et qu'à cette condition nous bénéficierions davantage de calme dans nos existences.
J'ai regardé autour de moi, j'ai fait le tour de la maison pour trouver les choses que j'avais commencées sans les terminer.....
Et j'ai fini une bouteille de rosé de Provence, une bouteille de Châteauneuf du pape, une bouteille de côte du Roussivon, une vouteile de bodka, un buteil de rom, le rest dwiski et zune poit de pière belch.
Tou nimaggine pa com jem sens vachamant mieu mintnan.

I pass this tip on, because for me it worked:
On TV I watched a program in which a representative of the Dalai Lama said that in order to achieve inner peace we always had to finish what we had started, and that on this condition we would enjoy more calm in our lives.
I looked around, I walked around the house to find the things that I had started without finishing them .....
And I finished a bottle of rosé from Provence, a bottle of Châteauneuf du Pape, a bottle of Roussivon coast, a bodka vouteile, a buteil de rom, the rest dwiski and a poit de pière belch.
Tou nimaggine pa com jem meaning vachamant mieu mintnan.
Psasse el mssage to all those con need of interior paits and to lure ke game lézèm
"one more thing". artist barry mcgee aka graffiti legend twist on exhibit at deitch projects.
i was checking out the swoon exhibit when this very nice man james directed me half a block away on wooster to deitch's sister gallery. the multi-level space is 50 times larger than the grand street location. so, so, so much eye candy here...
the dude at the top has a moving arm and spray can in hand.

My son's new Shure microphone. Nothing too exciting to say about it except it was harder than I thought it would be. I'll have to revisit this again along with other product shots. I must say it was nice to work at my own pace instead of the patience level of my young subjects!
Strobist:
AB 1600 with medium softbox camera right behind camera in front of subject and slightly above it
AB 800 honeycomb grid 30 degree subject right .. directly right of the row of glasses in the rear.
Fired with Cactus v4
On top of a white foam core board (waiting on getting some plexiglass, which will make a huge difference)
With a light blue foam core board for the background. All positioned on a card table in the garage.
This is the first year in a long time I can remember that my Dad's tomatoes have not looked great! Probably still tastes good, though! :)

Je remercie chacun de vous pour vos visites et commentaires très appréciés. Thank you so much everyone for your kind comments highly appreciated.
Guess who's turn it was to clean the kitchen. But chocolate milk and cigarettes were begging for consumption first!
Took this one quite by accident while snorkeling off Eleuthera, Bahamas. Was having some trouble underwater and paused to fix the problem when the shutter snapped this photo.
Han pasado muchos años, el libro no se publicó aún. Y don Cochengo ya lamentablemente no lo verá. Decía: "Nosotros los pobres no olvidamos nuestras costumbres y creo que no se olvidarán, los criollos no olvidan. Porque si ese trabajo existió de muy muchos años atrás, no puede terminar nunca... jamás! Mientras existan criollos. Ahora cuando ya... esté dominado el país por los gringos, será otra cosa, no?... cambiará... Pero mientras habíamos criollos, quien sabe si vamos a dar todavía lugar... porque vamos a luchar hasta lejos, a combatir esas cosas por nuestras tradiciones
Many years have passed, and the book hasn't been published yet. And unfortunately don Cochengo will not see it. He would say:
" Us the poor don't forget our customs and I believe that they will not be forgotten, the creoles don't forget. Because if that work existed many years ago, it can never finish.. never! As long as creoles exist. Now, when the country is dominated by the "gringos", who knows, it will be a different thing, right? it will changebut as long as there were creoles, who knows if we are going to give place.. because we are going to fight and combat theses things for our own traditions!"

The only crazy little thing I could come up with on short notice was Papayahead. White Sands Resort, (not-at-all-like) Mombasa, 25-Mar 2007.
Selfie in an old abandoned water tower plinth. This is a structure which once supported a huge water tank as used in the age of steam.
Shot with a Sony 14mm G Master lens tilted way back towards the sky and a top tip for making yourself look considerably slimmer than in real life ;-)
A thing I thought I would never lay my eyes on again was an Amtrak heritage duo. Which somehow happened despite the Silver Meteors love for Amtrak's ALC-42 locomotives, Amtrak heritage units 164 (Phase IV) and Amtrak 161 (Phase I) both lead Amtrak P098 over McGirts Creek in astounding light. Considering 2 minutes before this train would show up in frame, the sunlight would be nowhere to be found.
. . . is that the sun doesn't rise until well after 7am. I can handle most ranges of cold, but getting up early is one of the most difficult things in the world.
Hopefully this is a sufficiently different view of the overshot Space Needle. If there's one thing challenging in photography, it's to show people something that they haven't already seen a million times over, or just even a slightly different way than the other million.
Sorry I haven't been around as much. As often happens, life gets in the way a bit. I'm lucky to have two big trips coming up that should provide some ample shooting opportunities. At the end of spring, I get to go to Alaska with my parents - I've never been there and am *really* looking forward to it. Next week though, I'll be down in the bay area for a few days - so to any San Francisco photographers who wouldn't mind showing me around a little bit, I'd much appreciate it :)
Update: I geotagged it so you guys can see where this is shot from.
I heard on the grapevine that there was a couple of otters in the local lake, so I thought I would go see..
Sadly they were nowhere to be seen, but I did manage to shoot this "Big Bird Thing...
Think I could get into this wildlife photography lark...
I was wading in the water and saw a large spiral shell, so I tried to pick it up. It was hard to pick up, so I pulled harder--and this *stuff* came out of it and wrapped around my hand! I let go of the shell, then flipped it back over and took this photo.

“In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colourless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again.” - Barbara Kingsolver
Part inspired by the Flower Fairies illustrations, I grew up with these as a kid and always identified with the Blackthorn Fairy most, because she looked totally badass! Climbing on thorns, tattered clothes, my kinda fairy.
Today has been lovely, I woke up pretty shattered from yesterday's wedding and went to do some couple portraits about an hour's drive away - I'm able to sing in the car again (loudly) and I feel like this last week I've felt really grateful to be alive again.
That was one of the hardest things to get my head around after he died, I had no idea how I was going to ever WANT to be in this part of my life again. I read somewhere that life is only ever comparisons - the state of oneself with an old self, circumstances with other circumstances, etc etc. I loved life SO much before him, with him, that I couldn't see how it would ever compare. Letting go of the idea of comparison has been huge, moments are only ever moments, so if I want to sing loudly in the car then I will damn well sing until the moment comes to an end. And as my collection of wonderful moments grows, hopefully so will my overall perspective on the "enjoyableness" of my current present! Boom.
And yes, I was totally naked in a boggy moor on the roadside, here. RIP, my dignity.

Having struggled with Elements 12 for god knows how many years and only upgrading to Photoshop CC late last year I thought it was about time that I tried to get to grips with it properly as most of my uploads follow the same tried and trusted process flow.
So one of my many 2018 New Year resolutions is to try new things and see where it takes me. I'm not tying myself down to a 365 or a 52 week project but will post images in the hope of some good tips from you all. So here's my first attempt... I don't know if this is colour popping or selective colouring but it was far easier than I thought although I'll have to go back to the videos and make notes as I've a memory like a sieve or is it a goldfish... see I've forgotten already!
About the picture, we were just on our way for coffee and cake when Mrs R spotted this pink taxi... that's a bit different! Out came the camera and no sooner had I taken the first shot the taxi driver spotted me and wound his window up and turned his back on me... must be shy I thought! I rushed off to catch up with Mrs R who was on a mission to find the biggest cake, but checking my framing in the rear screen I wasn't happy with the symmetry (you know me) so went back for another go. Oh boy, was that taxi driver unhappy with me... he got out of his cab, shouted something, waved his hand in an ungentlemanly manner and stormed off to the pavement - that's him on the left.
Well... if you want to go unnoticed... don't paint yer cab pink!
“I am terrified by this dark thing
That sleeps in me;
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.”
― Sylvia Plath, Ariel
Somehow this started as a picture of trees and wound up as a Bird Thing. I try to go where the image takes me and hopefully it works out. You don't want to see the one's that don't.
I wish that without me your heart would break,
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake.
I wish that without me you couldn't eat,
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep.
I couldn't decide which crop I liked the most, so there's a close-up and an uncropped version in comments!
School starts tomorrow and I'm sad because I loved this summer, I did a lot of cool things and met so many lovely people. I joined two flickr meet-ups and it was such a nice experience.
But I'm also happy to meet some people of my class again, and there's one person I really look forward to meet more often when school starts.. I'm tired, I feel like sleeping and lazying around all day. I hate this feeling, it's a negative one.
I'm going to Gill's now, we're gonna have a BBQ and laugh and dance and talk.. I haven't seen her in a while (not once during the vacation) and I miss her and her family so much.
Hope you all had a nice week!

A build/figure a long time in the making. Longer than I think I realize. I’ve been brainstorming on how to make a good looking Swamp Thing that didn’t make use of a big fig base as I wanted him to be more scaled down than the monstrous stature that is a big fig. I feel like this is a good middle from a normal figure and a big fig. The build, with how the legs are posed, stands only a head above a normal figure, giving the build a menacing look. I have plans to use this base for future characters which will be fun to figure out.
