It's quite hard to post those photos. Bullfighting is very long traditional event in Spain but people like me from outside of Spain might think it's brutal. For me it's more like documenting what I saw not I liked it so much. I think it should be forbidden.
From a technical point of view it has three parts called “tercios” or “suertes”: sticks, barbed darts and finally the matador’s stick with a red flag attached to it. The president of the fight, which includes six fights lasting 20 minutes each.
When the bull enters and during the first part, the matador in his traditional costume raises the red and gold flag. He makes sweeping motions with the cape and helpers both on foot and on horseback drive their lances into the bull, gauging the liveliness and characteristics of their opponent.
During the second part of the fight three pairs of darts are driven into the bull’s neck. In the final and the most distressing part of the fight the bullfighter becomes a killer.
This is the most dangerous part where he attracts the injured animal towards him. At the last moment he must kill the beast with a single thrust of his sword.
"For one week a year, thousands of locals and tourists gather, and pay to witness the a ritual which is advertised as glorious and entertaining (for the benefit of pompously dressed up males with questionable skills in avoiding collision with a big animal) but is in fact nothing short of gorry, gruesome and truly sad. Old and sick bulls are chosen to be killed in those rituals, and they are being weakened for weeks before the "fight".
They put laxatives in their food and heavy sandbags on their backs. They are often beaten. They file their horns down to the tender quick and they drug them. Prior to the Running, electric prods and sharp sticks are used to rile the bulls in a frenzy. Petroleum jelly is put in their eyes to blind them. Wet newspaper is stuffed in their ears and their vocal cords are cut to prevent the audience to hear their cries. Lances are driven into the bulls' neck muscles so they can't lift their heads. By the time the matador appears the bulls are weak from blood loss and disoriented from being chased in circles.
When the "fight" finally begins, the bull is already on the verge of collapsing, held only by his last instinct of survival. All dignity is stripped down from him and he is confused, desperate and suffering. Then, in the ring, the toreador slaughters the bull by stabbing the bull repeatedly in the spine. The bull's death is slow and not just ugly, it's petrifying and maddening. Often he wears long blankets to hide their entrails, which spill out when they are gorged and disemboweled."

Sit back and relax. We are here to think for you! Why spend hour after hour worrying about life, we will worry for you. We can be trusted!
Here's how this one was accomplished: I was laying on my back in the grass looking up at the subjects, with the 18-55mm lens. Beside my head on the right was the bare (I think I'd use a diffuser if I could do this again) SB-600 flash off the camera, triggered by CLS. Manual flash at 1/40 power (built-in at 1/16, should've had it off...). The idea was, expose for the sky, then adjust in the flash for correctly exposed subjects. Still learning how to be more efficient balancing flash, aperture and shutter speed. I can get it done, but it takes me too long sometimes....
She tried to think of the most subtle way to come out to her family... and thought doing a much hated chore happily might work
(I miss my lens, but am told patience is a virtue so must oblige... and boooooo! to flickr sharpening/colour changing. Meh, what's a gal to do?)
Books with pink covers. That's the only criteria. And I have to say that the books are flying off the display.
Made by me :) DON'T steal
Sooo I was REALLY tired this morning before I went to school. I found this pic of Nick and made the Nick Jonas Thinks you are seeing now :D
To think that I had blonde and long hair last year O..o I´m still happy that I cut it off..I hate hair its annoying ò..ó !Also I think that long hair does not suit my style ... I look girlier tht I would like to with it .. Therefore I doubt that I´m ever going to let it grow again :D
I think this is supposed to be Elvis, but he looks more like the Rev. Jim Jones. I don't know about Elvis, but I hope Jim Jones is in some sort of hell. He killed over 900 men, women and children. Sorry for being so morbid, but that it could happen… still pisses me off!

Doesn't this look almost tropical? Well, this is about as far as I made it, and even then, I was leaning over and holding the camera out at arm's length. Odds are, the river is probably chest-deep at its deepest... and I wasn't (un)dressed for it. :) So this is as good as it gets. But look at that view... it was worth the trip and the whole effort, I think.
I think I have the term right taken on my new smart phone on our weekend away. apologies as always for the serious face I wasn't sure what if I was doing it right and forgot to even try to smile. I was happy, honest!
I think the elevated walkway needs to be elevated some more from the looks of all of the ice hanging from it.
The Thinker (le penseur) by Auguste Rodin
Bronze
H. 180 cm ; W. 98 cm ; D. 145 cm
Cast made by Fonderie Alexis Rudier in 1904. Transfered to the musée Rodin in 1922.
When conceived in 1880 in its original size (approx. 70 cm) as the crowning element of The Gates of Hell, seated on the tympanum, The Thinker was entitled The Poet. He represented Dante, author of the Divine Comedy which had inspired The Gates, leaning forward to observe the circles of Hell, while meditating on his work.
The Thinker was therefore initially both a being with a tortured body, almost a damned soul, and a free-thinking man, determined to transcend his suffering through poetry. The pose of this figure owes much to Carpeaux’s Ugolino (1861) and to the seated portrait of Lorenzo de’ Medici carved by Michelangelo (1526-31).
While remaining in place on the monumental Gates of Hell, The Thinker was exhibited individually in 1888 and thus became an independent work.
Enlarged in 1904, its colossal version proved even more popular: this image of a man lost in thought, but whose powerful body suggests a great capacity for action, has became one of the most celebrated sculptures ever known. Numerous casts exist worldwide, including the one now in the gardens of the Musée Rodin, a gift to the City of Paris installed outside the Panthéon in 1906, and another in the gardens of Rodin’s house in Meudon, on the tomb of the sculptor and his wife.

The Musée Rodin in Paris, France, is a museum that was opened in 1919 in the Hôtel Biron and surrounding grounds. It displays works by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin.
While living in the Villa des Brillants (in Meudon, suburb of Paris), Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his workshop from 1908, and subsequently donated his entire collection of sculptures (along with paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he had acquired) to the French State on the condition that they turn the building into a museum dedicated to his works.
The Musée Rodin contains most of Rodin's significant creations, including The Thinker, The Kiss, Monument to Victor Hugo, The Burghers of Calais, La Cathedrale, Monument to Balzac, Study for the Naked Muse, without Arms and The Gates of Hell. Many of his sculptures are displayed in the museum's extensive garden.
The museum is one of the most accessible museums in Paris. The gardens around the museum building contain many of the famous sculptures in natural settings.
Behind the museum building is a small lake and casual restaurant.
The Musée Rodin collections are very diverse, as Rodin used to collect besides being an artist, some paintings by Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh which were in Rodin's personal collections are also presented. The museum has also a room dedicated to works of Camille Claudel.

Well I think it is done, but have now noticed her left cheek is looking a little orange, may need to change that. Also you might notice that her wings have flown away!
I think the way we photograph flowers reveals a lot about how we look at things in general.
Flowers are so rigidly defined in our perceptions as "pretty." We hardly ask what makes them pretty, or what elements of them are perhaps not appealing to us when regarded consciously. We mostly choose focus on them in a fashion that seems rote, and sometimes almost prurient.
My thoughts while taking this were simple: The curl of the flower is beautiful, and I want to avoid a sharply focused stamen.
