Those crazy Chinese - Any old excuse for a dance!
I've noticed this before in Shanghai, especially the early morning ballroom dancing.
while photographers find it a BEAUTY to capture and showcase...
could be a nightmare to so many, dashes to cosmetic surgeons with a sight of a few of their own.
and yeah...in the mood for b&w lately i am =)

Anitra is new to us/me. She is a friend of some models I shot with recently; she liked our work and decided to give us a try. Excellent choice. A few random observations - Anitra is gorgeous with an awesome, adventurous personality; she is also a kick boxing instructor so she is quite flexible. She said she had never shot with anyone before but she was a natural. We did this shoot on the roof of a parking garage on a gorgeous September 2023 evening - what an excellent shoot. Anitra enjoyed herself and I hope she keeps shooting with us!
those are some strategic feathers.
yes or no? it's a harness from Salt & Pepper. Do I need this? maybe someone would gift it to me... hm
Not sure exactly what they're good for, but they do give this old Caddy some serious Honey Badger attitude in a crowded parking lot.
One walk at the nature park (orange), one lunch date in San Francisco (blue), one 40th birthday party (pink), and one hike (green)...whew!
I had a great time with this challenge! So glad I started the first weekend so that I had time to take shots in different locations! If you look through Pudding's sets, you'll probably see her blue eyes more than any other, followed by pink. I just love love love those BL blues!!
Caesar giving me his "leave me alone" look. The Christmas tree lights aren't the only thing that is glowing. Caesar's eyes could give the tree a run for its money!

Those silver darlings. The rugged beauty of Sarclet Bay in north east Scotland is captured in this stunning historic landscape. The remnants of the old Herring fishing industry stand against the backdrop of the rocky coastline, creating a timeless scene of natural and man-made elements merging together. The calm waters of the bay reflect the tranquil atmosphere, while the rolling hills and distant cliffs add depth and grandeur to the composition. This picture embodies the timeless charm of the Scottish coast, with its rich fishing history. From the Middle Ages onwards, herring—one of the most used marine resources—has provided Scotland with a precious, cheap, plentiful and nutritious source of food. Fishing was first a subsistence activity, and it then developed into an industry. Once in unbelievable abundance—the Old German word ‘herring’ means ‘multitude’—herring attracted thousands of boats from all over Europe to the Scottish waters, and at the peak of the herring boom, Britain exported a quarter of a million tonnes a year.
Political and religious institutions, the Crown and Government supported and encouraged the economic sector through exclusive rights, licences and bounties. Yet, severe competition and intensive methods of fishing endangered the species.
Silver-coloured, as slick and bright as mercury, the fish has poetically been nicknamed ‘silver darlings’.
Incredible!

Late postings of the fabulous Leonard Cohen concert last week.... not too happy with these photos since there are many backs of heads in them, however, I didn't want to ruin the experience for all those behind me and I wanted to enjoy the concert as well! as it was, I know I missed a few moments adjusting the camera etc... Nice to "enjoy the moment" but also nice to have some memories to look back on! Enjoy
Day 42 of Un Anno Nella Vita...
So I was going through old pictures that I have, and I came across this one.
I believe it was...8th grade?
Carly, Myself, and Andrea.
Wow.
The orange/red mess on the left is on the print, not my fault!
For those of you not down with the sk8r lingo... 'An Ollie Tutorial'
My son, Alex [almost 13], after much practice, is now very good at these. This opens him up for an expanding world of bruises and such because the tricks only get more complex and dangerous from here. While I fear for his bones, I'm proud that he stuck with it.

Those kids eating tide pods are probably playing with these toys, and that is why they are eating Tide Pods, Who wants to play with shit?
...just give me the chills. I dunno whether to rush out and get one of my own or laugh at the absurdity of wearing them with sandals!
Hmmm, most likely the former. ;)
Those are German paratroopers by the trough in Honsfeld. One of them is tying his boots. It is well known that the Germans used to prefer the American boots, and I suspect this paratrooper is putting on boots from the dead American on the left. The road to Bullingen is on the right and Kampfgruppe Peiper came in from the left. The Germans ran over these Americans, crushing the bodies
For those who don't know, these gypsy bantam chickens were brought to Key West by Cuban and Caribbean Islanders for the purpose of cock fighting. When the island banned cock fighting, all the chickens were "freed" so they roam the lsland. No one is allowed to harm them or feed them. The roosters are quite territorial and they announce their territory by crowing and not just in the morning.
For those confused about her name, it comes from the Shortening of Jupiter (Latin) who most know as Zeus, the Lightning God.

Monument to those Killed
Austin Dam was a dam in the Austin, PA area that served the Bayless Pulp and Paper Mill. the T. Chalkey Hatton firm built a large concrete dam across the valley. The dam was 50 feet high, 540 feet long and cost $86,000 to construct. It was designed to be thirty feet thick, but was built only twenty feet thick. The dam opened in December of 1909 and within only a few months of its completion, problems were detected. The dam bowed more than 36 feet under the pressure of the water it was holding and the concrete started cracking. The bowing was alleviated by using dynamite to blast a 13-foot space for the excess water to spill over. The cracking was claimed to be normal because of the drying cement. Then on September 30, 1911 the one year and nine month old dam gave way and destroyed the Bayless Pulp and Paper Mill as well as much of the town of Austin. The damage was approximately $10 million. It also resulted in the deaths of 78 people. A young girl named Mary Fran Simmons, a new immigrant from Galicia, warned many of the townspeople about the impending disaster with her extremely limited English, simply pointing and repeating, "Dam! Dam!" The paper mill and dam were subsequently rebuilt, but the mill was lost in a fire in 1933.

The market town of Selby is dominated by the former Abbey, now the town's parish church but originally built to serve a Benedictine monastery. It is one of those rare cathedral-sized survivors of the Dissolution that have come down to us through parochial use largely intact while the vast majority were left in ruins or disappeared altogether. Thus Selby is an architectural gem and reminder of what we have lost elsewhere.
The monastic complex itself has entirely vanished, what remains is the entire abbey church (unusually complete, more often such great buildings were only partially preserved, if at all). Much of the Norman building remains, the nave being a good example of Romanesque architecture, whilst the choir is a fine exercise in Decorated Gothic from the 14th century with an attractive east window whose glass closely follows the original design. The three towers add great dignity to the building, however these are mostly early 20th century additions, necessitated by other episodes in the abbey's history less fortunate than it's being spared by the Dissolution.
The church's fortunes took a turn for the worst in 1690 when the upper half of the Norman central tower collapsed, demolishing the south transept as it fell which remained in ruins until more recently. The top of the tower was later rebuilt in Georgian style but this was removed by the end of the Victorian period during a thorough restoration of the building (no doubt a replacement was intended but not immediately realised).
Disaster then struck in 1906 when a major fire engulfed the building (starting in the organ-chamber off the north transept) and destroyed all the furniture of the choir and the high ceilings of nave, choir and transept, leaving the church in a pitiful ruined state. Remarkably the town rallied behind restoration and the entire church was repaired and back in full use within three years of the calamity.
More remarkable still was additional transformation of the exterior that followed under architect John Oldrid Scott who finally rebuilt the upper stage of the central tower and the south transept (both truncated since 1690) in 1912. Finally in 1935 the west towers were raised to their present height (they were never completed in medieval times) giving us the majestic triple-towered church we see today for the first time in its history, and a church transformed more successfully and dramatically in the space of a few years than anyone generally might realise from its homogeneous appearance today.
Stepping into the great church today one is often aware that so much has been restored in the early 20th century, but the work has been beautifully done and some old features such as the wooden font-cover survived the blaze. Other elements were less lucky, the 14th century glass in the east window suffered badly and what we see today is a careful copy of the original (a few fragments of the original can be seen in the north choir aisle nearby). Throughout the church the high ceilings are adorned with gloriously gilded bosses that enliven the interior, most again are copies of the burned originals but successfully echo the medieval spirit.
Selby Abbey is one of the great churches of England and can't fail to impress the visitor. It is generally open to visitors and I found the locals very welcoming. I hope to return again some day.

For those of you visiting from the "ID Please" group: I once learned the name of this species, but have since forgotten it and feel terrible about it because they're basically common garden plants, and very pretty ones at that. The following and previous photos are all of two plants - one with yellow flowers, one with red. I have some shots of berries and flower buds as well, so hopefully that will help some in identifying the species. Thanks and cheers!
