Some people think a DSLR is a magic box that will take perfect photos every time.
There's no camera in the world that will do that... except mine :D

Brad thinks he looks like Brad Pitt so changed his name - don't tell him, he has a big enough head already!!! 42 tall and fully cotterpin jointed, mohair with brown glass eyes
I was not very pleased with how most of my Rodin museum pictures come out, so you’ll have to wait for Traci’s which were much better!

Note:
Roney is one among 15.000 lost children still roaming the streets of São Paulo.
It is in deepest regret and sadness that I inform you of Roney's cold-blooded murder on the early morning hours of January 15th. May he find peace wherever his journey has taken him.......
IMPORTANT NOTE:
On June 27th. we also lost our beloved Claudiney.
Hint: Think today's "interurban" transit system. You do NOT need to be exact to get the point. The bright section can be seen from a busy street thanks to its large windows. What you see in the photo is actually one of the newer buildings on the historic site, built in the 1980's.
I think Flickr needs a bigger description box on the upload page. Still figuring it how the website works lol.
Didn't spend the day doing much except dim sum in the afternoon with my parents and grandpa. Hope grandma's doing well. Haven't seen her in awhile, but it's always awkward seeing her. I never know what to do or say, but it's not like she'll remember. It scares me sometimes knowing that when she passes away, I may not cry or mourn. Can't really remember a time when she didn't have Alzheimer's. But I remember a time when we were on the way from leaving dim sum at Woodside and in the car, she'd ask me again and again about the book I'm reading. Or that time she flipped out at my grandpa when I said their nursing home felt like a hospital. I got a mini lecture on that by my cousin. Idk. I'll just take it as it is when the time comes.
Streamed a bit of the SoCal? Crossfit Regionals and it really makes me miss it. After a WOD it always makes me so capable. I mean you feel nice after going to the gym but this is like ecstasy compared to marijuana.. not like I would know. But a harder drug vs a softer drug naw mean. Starting my nutrition draft essay and hopefully it turns out well. Don't really have high hopes for it.
All professionals talk about strategy, but few really understand what it means, or how to apply it correctly. How to Think Strategically challenges biased thinking and allows readers to enjoy the rewards of sound strategy and strategic thinking.
In the business world, 'strategy' must rank as one of the most bandied-about terms whenever there's a discussion on how to grow a company, win a new client or beat the competition.
Unfortunately, it is also one of the least understood — with many conflicting takes among professionals and scholars on what strategy actually means. The casualty of all this confusion is the quality of strategy that is actioned — and the results that follow.
Those who have mastered strategic thinking repeatedly see disproportionately good outcomes from the resources at their disposal; the rest leave themselves vulnerable to serious errors of judgement which can lead them to addressing the wrong problem, or doing things in such a way that the costs far outweigh the benefits.
How to Think Strategically: your roadmap to innovation and results — a new Financial Times series book released this month by Pearson, the world's leading educational publisher — promises to do away with this “boardroom babble” once and for all by equipping professionals with a clear framework of “the strategy roundabout”, methods such as “lean testing” and tools that will enable the reader to develop a strategic mind-set and devise a winning business strategy time and again.
The 280-page handbook tackles both theory and practical applications, providing an easy-to-follow roadmap that takes readers through the whole process of strategic thinking and provides a powerful framework of theories, tools and tips illustrated with a wealth of real-world case studies.
By the close of the book, professionals of all levels will be able to formulate a robust, compelling strategic plan capable of handling any situation or objective — efficiently AND effectively.
Co-authors Davide Sola and Jerome Couturier, professors of strategy and management at ESCP Europe Business School, have assisted businesses large and small in sharpening their strategies in their capacity as strategy consultants for McKinsey, A. T. Kearney and 3H Partners, a company that advises multinationals and governments about entrepreneurial solutions.
They say that although everyone has an innate ability to strategise, and do so quickly, most fail to take strategic thinking beyond intuition and vague notions of 'goals', 'situation analyses' or to-do lists. While helpful, none of these alone constitutes a strategy.
Professor Sola said: “Many people in business, even at management level, are very confused about what strategy really means. They do not have a clear theory to follow. This leads to hit-and-miss results with as many bad, and costly, business decisions as good ones. “Strategy embraces goals, objectives, planning, resources and more, but it cannot be reduced to any one of them.
“How to Think Strategically is a step-by-step practical guide to getting to grips with, and embracing, strategy as an invaluable tool to achieving individual or company business goals.”
The book is divided into two sections:
Part one explores what strategy is, highlights the factors that lead to success and explains how to turn strategic thinking into strategy
Part two focuses on putting strategic thinking into practice with a step-by-step walkthrough on devising and implementing a business strategy, and how to identify and deal with any challenges that arise.
To accompany the title, and help bridge the gap between theory and implementation, a handy Strategic Plan Generator App is also available which allows the user to apply their new-found skills by crafting a strategic plan.
How To Think Strategically is, in all senses of the word, the defining guidebook to strategy and strategic thinking, clearing away confusion and in its place instilling a mental blueprint for success.

I think that this is a tiny orbweaver of some sort because of the beautiful, but tiny web that it made in the azalea branches. This spiders actual size is about the size of a pen head and it's web about 4 inches by 4 inches, pretty amazing if you ask me, but I am a nerd, that goes without saying LOL :)

Me: "I have no idea what you are on about..."
The F1 2012 season is up and running! Amazing work today by Jenson Button. It looks like it is going to be a fantastic season - bring it on!!
I think this might be the 102nd floor observation deck in the Empire State Building.
This stereoview card is from a collection my son purchased online. They are someone's personal photographs, and they were all taken between 1933 and 1936, mostly on vacations. The photographer is unknown, but judging from the notes on the back of some of the cards, I believe they belonged to George and Helen Kirk, who may have lived in Wisconsin.
***Randy Atkins has provided some additional information. George and Helen Kirk lived in Elgin, Illinois, where George was the chief engineer for the Elgin Watch Company***
The formidable Kia Soul was born and bred on the rhythms and energy of music, so of course you can say it’s a Soul Rebel as Bob Marley poignantly chanted about. When it first hit the streets in 2009, the small, boxy ride was full of positive vibrations that made owners alike feel good about their ride while spawning joyful emotions during commutes. For 2019 the third generation derivative is showy as ever with enough flavor to satisfy a crowd full of urban hipsters.
Class 47 no 47975 hauls 323201 through Rugby on 18 February 1993. I think this was the first time I had seen a Class 323 and I'm not sure now what this working was, or where the unit was heading. According to Wikipedia the first 323 "finally entered revenue-earning service on 7 February 1994."
47975 was originally D1723, built by Brush Traction in 1964. It was allocated 47132, but this number was never carried and it was renumbered to 47540 in October 1974. It was renumbered in the Departmental series as 47975 between August 1990 and December 1995, when it reverted to 47540. It was withdrawn in May 1998 and was, for a while, preserved at the Wensleydale Railway, but was scrapped at TJ Thomson of Stockton in April 2016.
I think this gas station has got beautiful lines that makes a good composition easy. This was a early morning visit for coffee and sandwiches. You can see my brother inside. We were on our way to Germany. A seven hour drive from Mölnlycke, Sweden.

Minimalist I know. I think of an egg with a black "white".
This was a shot through welding glass held to the front of my 70-200mm lens. The full-frame sensor shows its disadvantage! No matter. I witnessed the transit though clouds hid the sun periodically so I'm happy I was able to get this much.
See you in over 100 years, Venus!
Although I would like to think that I have become a better photographer over time, I am confident that I have become better at processing my digital pictures. Part of this is thanks to new and more sophisticated software, and part of this is refined technique and practice.
As opposed to the Old Days of slides, negatives and prints, modern digital files don’t “go bad” just sitting around, and they are (or should be) easy to locate and easy to re-process. One of my New Year’s jobs is to do some file management, insure that my backups are up-to-date and start a new storage “catalog” for the new calendar year. In preparation for this year’s turn-over, I am going back through some old digital photo catalogs and reprocessing some interesting ones.
This is something that I took in 2004, about a month after I bought my first digital SLR; a Canon 10D with a consumer-grade 28-135mm zoom lens. The company that I worked for at the time was French, and we “had” to take business trips to France from time-to-time. Of course, we always took an extra few days off after the meetings to wander around Paris (or wherever).
This is a portion of the Notre Dame cathedral. I got this surrealistic effect by converting the original image to B&W in NIK Silver Efex Pro-2, and then I brought both the B&W version and the original color version into Photoshop as layers and blended them together. Something similar could probably be achieved with a polarizing filter, but I didn’t have one at the time.

So this guy has a lot of statues in his front yard see. Seriously - he's got about 20 of them. All the 'ladies' have their nippledge areas painted bright red. Either the guy really likes nipples or he's censoring them. I think I'd like to go to a shop, buy him a sh*tload of pasties and leave them in his mailbox.
