This location opened in spring 1977. It was damaged by fire on April 17th, 2002, which caused the store to temporarily operate out of here. After rebuilding, they moved back here in April 2003.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

I am thankful for the dreams-come-true that I am living today and I look forward to seeing how they develop over time. Balancing going with the flow with setting intentions is an art I am still working on. It could ... perhaps ... be my life purpose to work that out!

** It's makeup!
The Shame
It's pain
I
Hate
Myself
It's not
His fault
It's mine
It's
Mine..
He didn't mean to
He loves me
It's true
I can see it
It was
My fault
I think...
It only hurts a little
He said he's sorry
He means it,
I know
Love like ours
Is strong
The marks
Will fade
And with it
The pain
And perhaps
The shame
He loves me...
He loves me not?
Okay so this idea popped into my head last night. It is in no way a reflection of my life, so please don't be alarmed!
I decided I wanted to use a picture to shed some light on abuse that happens every day to so many women (and men). Its a horrible thing that really doesn't get as much press time as it should.
No matter how much you love someone, and no matter how much they say they love you, there is never a reason to be hurt emotionally or physically by someone else. No one, not one other person should be able to make you feel as if everything is your fault, that you aren't good enough or you aren't worth their respect. Everyone deserves respect, and if someone is hurting you in any way, they don't respect you.
Just something I was thinking about.
Anyone else have thoughts on this subject?

The December 12th 2009 march of the Peoples in Copenhagen united from 30,000 (low government estimate) to 100,000 (high participants estimate) people from all over the world.
See tr.im/Hw9Z
Their messages:
"We want global cooperation between people. We can do it together. Even 100 persons collaborating in 10,000 cities means 1,000,000 people..."
"We want an ambitious, fair and binding legal Treaty."
"I want the governments to act more strongly to stop climate change."
"From Malawi, to the developed countries: give us a fair deal so we can reduce emissions and everyone is less affected by climate change"
"From Brussels: I'm here to protect the life, because we have reached a certain point that we have to act NOW. If I don't for myself, I have to do it for my children, I really hope that this is going to be the real deal, and that we will end this week by significant change. "
"I hope that we will fix some limits that will be reasonable not only for business, but for the Earth. I don't care about business, I care about life, and we are playing a game that we will not survive for a long time."
"I'm here for the children, all the children of the world; because we have to change the direction now, and share this beautiful world we have, we live on, together now. We have to change, to start to live sustainably, and to think always about the children, because they have the answer for us, how we should live our lives."
"I would like to see for the end of the deliberations of COP15 that everybody would take responsibility for their country, to start to only use sustainable energy, to stop the cars, to just live so we can stay on this earth for a long long, much longer time than it looks like now."
"I'm wearing a survival ball, designed to withstand any climate catastrophy, nuclear blast, biological warfare, pretty much anything... I recommend that everybody get one soon, before the real climate crisis happens. I would like to see substantial climate legislation passed, that really reduces our carbon emissions, and protects the ecology."
"A trade union organizer: Traditionally, from the Trade Unions, we are organizers to the big demonstrations. We've been looking forward to a peaceful demonstration. It seems to be rather big, the last numbers I heard was over 100,000. That's very big in Denmark, and in Copenhagen. We have the same interest in climate change as anyone else. We have to do something about it, we have to put pressure on the politicians, so they start acting, stop thinking in profit but act in favor of the climate. They should tighten up, they have to go further than what I've heard today. Twenty to thirty percent cuts in CO2 is not enough!"
"Paramedics: in a big demonstration, ambulance cannot get in, because of violence or police barricades. If people get injured, or get ill, or have any problem right in the streets, then there is an urgent need of paramedics. I hope we don't have much to do. I want to bring the message to the world: it was said that we would be 100,000 people. I didn't count them, I don't know if this is true. But there are a lot of people, it's a strong voice!"
"Germany: I'm here for the global civil movement for radical system change, not climate change. I don't expect anything from the negotiations of the so-called political leaders. I think that we the people all around the world have to take this in our hands, to save the climate and to fight for climate justice, and not to put our hopes on false economical solutions and so-called political leaders who don't do anything. So I'm looking for, after the negotiations, for networking with people all around the world, for strengthening the global movement for climate justice."
"Cape Town: We're fighting against Free Trade. I'm with a group that came from Geneva to Copenhagen by the Climate Justice caravan. What we expect from these negotiations is for the leaders to live up to justice, and to pay for the years of ecological debt that's been caused by the capitalist system; and we expect the northern governments to ... finances and technology to the South without conditions. We condemn the market-based mechanisms that have been promoted in these negotiations. We want a new system, a new Treaty, based on reparations for the people of the South. For 400 years of capitalism and colonialism and exploitation from Europe, 10 billion dollars is really nothing. And if they are pledging, I certainly hope they`re pledging to the UN Adaptation Fund, and not to the World Bank. I think that hundreds of billions are required for reparations, and that governments from the South need to be vigilent, because they have been impacted drastically, people are poor, people are jobless, because of the system; so we need hundreds of billions, that our governemnts need, to make sure that the North pays its ecological debt. Thank you"
"Holland: I'm here to demonstrate because I don't believe that the government is coming up with a good climate solution for the climate problem. They put too much importance on economics. I don't think that the priority is where it should be."
"Holland: I'm here to demonstrate because I truly believe in a greener future, and I'm worried that it's not going to happen with our current governments. So I'm hoping to motivate them with my presence here."
"Holland: I see a culture which is really about the ego, it's really distance from each other, we have to come back to each other, and back to the world."

Another attempt at face removal. Bit better than my first attempt but think I need a model rather than posing myself lol.

Una de las mejores fotos que vi en la promo de True Blood del 2011, y decidí vectorizarla completamente. Trabajo de horas y horas.
My mother says I have been overtaken by a "cooking frenzy." This is, in large measure, true. I have not had a lot to photograph lately and cooking, for me anyway, is very therapeutic. So, even though I spent some time at work, answered lots of emails, sent several query letters about jobs and did other bits of this and that, I have still tried to fill me late afternoons with cooking.
There is something of a slump in the bar business and the photography business this time of year. Being idle makes me a little stir crazy and as I presently have nothing else to really devote my attention to once the day's work is done, I have been in my kitchen.
What you will find below is a sort of Beef Bourguignon or Beef Burgundy recipe. It owes a lot to the basic pot roast concept and relies heavily on hearty winter vegetables. You might want to read the recipe all the way through before trying it yourself as there are a few options of how to follow through with the process. The grilling, for instance, adds a little smokiness to the dish but is not necessary if you don't feel like firing up your grill. I can also see this dish being very successful with a reduction in some of the root vegetable and the addition of other winter staples like parsnips, whole garlic cloves or fennel bulbs. Anyway, have fun with it. These sorts of cuts of meat are very forgiving provided you give them long enough to break down a little over low heat and a long cooking time. If you try to rush it, you will end up with a tough roast, and no one appreciates that on a plate. Without further ado:
Beef Bourguignon
1 Beef Roast, about 2lbs (preferable Chuck or Round)
1 Large Yellow Onion, Diced
1 Bunch of Carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal
4 Medium Turnips, peeled, ½ inch chop
5 Medium Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled, ½ inch chop
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
3 tbsp Your favorite Dry Rub (you can mix up a batch of mine, recipe can be found here)
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Dry Mustard
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Dried Thyme
1 tbsp Dried Oregano
2 tbsp Canola Oil
1 tsp Smoked, Sweet Paprika
1 tbsp Paprika
1 Bay Leaf
1 Can of Lager Style Beer
1 Bottle Red Wine, just whatever you have around. It doesn’t have to be a Burgundy
3c Vegetable Broth
There are two ways to do this. One really just adds an aesthetic flourish but both
accomplish the same in, which is to brown the Roast. First heat your grill to its maximum heat (about 500F). Clean the grill well and oil the grate with the Canola Oil using an oil soaked paper towel held with tongs. Cover the Roast with the Dry Rub and allow to the meat to stand for a while so that it approaches room temperature. Sear the two largest sides of the Roast for about 16 minutes total, turning 90° at 4-minute intervals to achieve nice grill marks and flip it half way through the grilling.
Add the Olive Oil to a large, heavy bottomed, pot and heat it over medium heat. Take your seared Roast (or raw and if you are skipping the grilling part) and sear each side that didn’t get grilled (or the whole thing), one side at a time or until a nice fond has developed on the bottom of the pot and there is a notable browning of the meat. Remove the Roast and set aside. Add the Onions to the pot and stir. Then add in the Beer and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze ( get up all the tasty bits). Add the Garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, still over medium heat. Add about 1 cup of the red wine and allow the mixture to reduce until most of the liquid is gone. Add your herbs and spices— Dry Mustard, Salt, Pepper, Thyme, Oregano, Smoked Paprika and regular Paprika. Stir the whole concoction together then place the Roast in the middle of this flavorful and fine smelling mixture.
Surround the roast with the chopped Potatoes, Turnips and Carrots. Then add the remaining Red Wine and the Vegetable Stock. Stir enough to bring some of the Onion and spice mixture up from the bottom. Slip the Bay Leaf into the pot and allow the liquid to come back to a boil (about 5 minutes). Then reduce the heat and cook, securely covered and on low, for about 3 and 1/2 hours or until the Roast is fork tender. Flip the roast from time to time to ensure even cooking. Once the roast is falling apart, pull it apart a bit and allow to cook a while longer so that the liquids can permeate the interior of the Roast.
If you prefer your vegetables to hold a bit more of their shape then wait to add the Potatoes, Turnips and Carrots until the Roast and liquid combination has cooked for about an hour.

It is true. I have made the decision that I am leaving the wonderful world of flickr. Things are so busy that I don't have time to keep up with it - and so I am removing my images and letting my account expire.
Not to worry - if you want to stay in touch, I would love that! Please feel free to join the fun on facebook and see my latest work before anyone else : www.facebook.com/UncontainedPhotography and of course my website and blog are at : www.uncontainedphotography.com
Thank you all for an incredible experience. You will be missed.
Waiting to get in to the True Diversity Dinner
True Diversity Dinner, Snow Goose Restaurant, Anchorage, Alaska, September 25, 2009. The True Diversity Dinner was sponsored by several Alaska bloggers and information lists who had been active in the summer 2009 fight for the Anchorage equal rights ordinance A) 2009-64. After the ordinance passed but was then vetoed by Mayor Dan Sullivan, we decided to hold the dinner as an alternative to the Mayor's Unity Dinner (renamed from what used to by the Mayor's Diversity Dinner), because, we decided, "we all deserve a seat at the table." For further information, see the True Diversity Dinner website or my posts about the dinner www.henkimaa.com/tag/true-diversity-dinner/.
