It's time for a photo for this couple in The Narrows of the Virgin River in Zion National Park, Utah.
got to meet up with two old colleagues from Japan to eat some Chinese after they were forced to eat a week of meat and potatoes during their training. Anyway, we stopped for some gifts at the $1 store and enough time to take a photo with some dollar props as well.
It's been a while in the making, but the first of the Aphorism books is finally finished and up at Magcloud.

I thought to use a proverb or quote on the "value" of time, or the "coin" of it. But instead, I choose something more relevant to me now. I give to you, from one of my favorite authors, Tennessee Williams:
"Time is the longest distance between two places."
(He wrote "A Streetcar Named Desire")
On another note: Just how long is a moment?
Another in a series of pictures I plan on. I want to repeat this picture without the quarters too, it's busier than I expected it would come out, but its well past my bed time.
6th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment (6 RAR)
The 6th Battalion was first raised at Enoggera on the 6th of June 1965. The Battalion has served twice in Vietnam and has recently served in East Timor and currently has members serving in Iraq. The Battalion was involved in the famous battle of Long Tan and one of its companies received the United States Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation.

A sea of people, including family and friends of returned Australian soldiers will line the streets of Brisbane on Saturday to welcome home the soldiers of the 7th Brigade and to mark the end of their contribution to operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and East Timor in 2010.
The Welcome Home Parade will honour the Brisbane based 6th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment (6 RAR) who are returning from active duty in Afghanistan.
The march across the city will be made up of Artilleryman, Signallers, The Light Horse Brigade, 6 RAR and The Engineer Regiment.
Starting in Southbank, returned soldiers will march over the Victoria Bridge and make their way into the CBD, marching down George St, Adelaide St, and looping around to Ann St where they will finish up at King George Square.
Graham Smith from the 6th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment Association says this is an important time for the returned soldiers.
"We are so highly thought of all around the world in terms of soldiering and these boys have represented themselves very well.
"They've been in arduous (and) very dangerous circumstances, they haven't complained, they have acquitted themselves in the greatest traditions of 6 RAR and the Australian Army and I think they deserve to be acknowledged for what they have done, on this day, rather than waiting for Anzac Day, when we acknowledge the Australian contribution to defence right around the world", he says.
Speaking to ABC Local Radio in Brisbane Mr Smith explained that the march also was a time to honour the memory of the soldiers from 6 RAR that have fallen in the line of duty.
As a result of the Australian defence support in Afghanistan this year, six serving Queenslanders won't be returning home.
In August 2010 6 RAR Private's Grant Kirby, 35, and Tomas Dale, 21, were killed by a roadside bomb.
One month earlier another 6 RAR Private, Nathan Bewes, 23, was killed and the Brisbane-based 2nd Combat Engineer Regiment also lost Sappers Jacob Moerland, 21, and Darren Smith, 25, in June.
Whether you agree or disagree with Australia's involvement in overseas defence, Mr Smith, who was part of the original 6th Battalion that was formed in 1965, says the march is particularly important for the soldiers themselves.
"The significance of this march brings me back to when I returned from Vietnam in 1967, and we marched through Brisbane...that was such a proud occasion and it just made me feel, and I'm sure it was the same for all my mates, that what we endured for the 12 months previous was worthwhile that we were appreciated.
"It will be special, and I'm travelling from my home in Wide Bay to attend", he says.
The RX58 on the Stade on a wonderful, warm, balmy evening last week. The boats were bathed in lovely low light and I was happy just to sit there and while away the time!
Thanks for your time

So, time does fly when you are having fun. I have been married for almost 10 years, I am almost 30, I have a son, a house....SOOOO much has happened these last ten years. It's crazy!!! Anyways, I chose the time 7:14 because my wedding anniversary is July 14th so it's symbolic of the last 10 years.
WIT: A tripod and a slow shutter speed. In Lightroom 2 I cropped it.
European art often reminds people of mortality and the passage of time.
Taking photos of paintings inside a museum requires skills and equipment that I lack, so these photos are only meant to give you a sense of what you can see inside Haarlem's Frans Hals Museum. You can probably find better photos of the art somewhere else.
nothing like a little down time with a good book....The book is about "Ghost Pirates" :D @ home @ second life
What about when it's gone?
And it really won't be so long.
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singing from at all.

PPSOP - Art of Food Photography, Assignment Three, Part B: Shoot two or three subjects with a single, small light source and reflector. Really try to show off the texture of your subject. Part C:Shoot the same subjects from part B, adding a second, overhead light source along with your reflector. Final Submission.
F/8, 1/250s. 105mm Nikkor Micro Lens on studio stand.
As the Assignment called for two shots, I tried both – with the addition of ND Gel to the Grid (small light source) and decided the sandwich shot with the soft box fill was the strongest of the two. The softlight coming from above filled in the shadows to lower the contrast. The ND Gel was noticeably softer, I am glad I tried this experiment.
The issue I have with the ND was that it reduced the intensity of the light leaving me with a maximum f-stop of f/8. Due to the width of sandwich, I think I would have preferred to use a higher wattage light to enable me to stop down with the ND and obtain greater DoF.
My time was crunched, so I only had one (rushed) go at this… Further studies are in my future, to be sure.
I can surmise that higher wattage will lead to quicker degradation of the sandwich fillings, so I’d best have a few on hand!
Setup for the shot: Lowe’s tileboard tabletop with subject placed on white paper. Old-fashioned soda bottle and chips brought in as props. 30° grid set on light, placed at 210° from subject, up high just skimming top of bread and bouncing off reflector board about 45-60° camera right. Medium soft box placed on boom over top of subject.
This is my first attempt at using my Nikon D5100's time lapse feature. I used Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 to create the video. Music is by Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com.

I still like the pure black background best.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone
