Wittenberg - Where Amsterdam feels like home
Eighteenth century on the outside and yet contemporary within, Wittenberg is a haven for travellers seeking a second home. This boutique aparthotel provides you with the freedom to unplug from the hectic into the calm – elegant but relaxed surroundings in the heart of Amsterdam. Behind its majestic, historic and canal-side façade, each apartment has been carefully designed to be unique, Dutch and modern. Wittenberg combines the attentive service of a boutique hotel with the convenience and independence of residential living.
Walk through the doors into an urban retreat of comfort, filled with natural light and bright interiors that create a sense of space. Each of our 115 apartments have been restored and enhanced to reflect the conveniences of contemporary Dutch design, whilst preserving the Wittenberg’s authentic and original ethos, charm and character. Wittenberg is furnished with a myriad of beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces exclusive to the guests of the property ideal for work, play, meetings, gatherings and/or some quiet down time.
Many have called Wittenberg “home” since 1772. Located in the east of the city by the Nieuwe Keizersgracht canal, this well-kept secret is comprised of boutique shops and hip bars and restaurants. For those of you that desire something a bit more mainstream, the botanical gardens and Artis Zoo are within walking distance, while Hermitage Amsterdam is just around the corner. And for those who have to leave the calm refuge of Wittenberg’s restoring walls to work, the city centre and business districts are easily reached by public transport.
Our House Hosts have been trained to be discreet and welcoming, available at all times to help you with any questions you have – or prepare you a cup of artisan coffee if that’s what you fancy. At Wittenberg, the pace, lifestyle and everything else is entirely up to you. So make yourself at home.
Dual 27" Thunderbolt Displays daisy chained off a 15" Macbook Pro gives me all the screen real-estate I would ever need for graphics work plus it gives me the flexibility to unplug quickly and take my entire machine with me to meetings. The best of both worlds.
On Sunday morning we sat in a large circle and gave some final thoughts. These two visual notes are a few of the great reflections we shared
MY final reflections will take the rest of the 2011~!
I wish I was an alien
at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir
you kept your house key on.

Tiny true story coming after a few disclaimers: First, so no one jumps to any conclusions; the cord looked just fine last night when I plugged it into my cell phone. Even if it had only been a tiny bit of this much exposed, there is no way I would have purposely used it anyway. Can you say TRASH?
Ok, I sleep in a recliner always. I don't even own a bed at this point in my life. At about 5 o'clock this morning a neighbor revved up his rather loud Harley Davidson Motorcycle, and it didn't just awaken me, it also caused a pretty dramatic startle reflex. Yeah, I get those (PTSD).
It was almost completely dark in my bedroom. I didn't have my close-up type glasses on. I reached down to unplug my phone and saw a tiny bit of what appeared to be some greenish threads. I was thinking perhaps some greenish clothing threads, or blanket lint, or perhaps even part of a pony-tail holder had gotten caught in the cord. Still in the dim light, and still without glasses, I tried to pick away at the material caught (or that I thought was caught around the cord). It wasn't coming loose. In fact the cord itself seemed to be getting split open, like with a wire trimmer. That was from me tugging at it. I gave up, turned on some actual light. I went ahead an unplugged it. I had trouble believing how an OK wire had gotten so bad during the night and with only a tame amount of picking and pulling. I decided that when I was startled and hurried to pull the handle that La-Z-Boy® recliners have in order to sit upright, the cord may have gotten pinched. There is a metal part where the handle joins the chair, and I believe it could have been enough to expose some of wire's guts. Then of course, I had picked away at it more.
I also peeled back a little more of it so the greenish stuff and some wires that looked like threads would show better for my picture. The inside of the wire had been exposed but not this much.
Obviously I didn't get hurt. But is it possible that it was very dangerous? It was still plugged in when I first picked at it. Whatcha think?

There was once a time when Ethernet had two flavours: Thick and thin Ethernet.
These three parts belong to the thin Ethernet party. They are two terminators with 50 Ohm resistance and the T shaped connector to put in a computer into the loop. You had to be careful not to unplug any wire, as it would terminate all traffic on this specific section.
The shot is focus stacked from 7 shots.
Anton Tutter did a great job wiring Elton's new Weigle.
All components have quick release fittings, so let's say a fender had to be removed, you'd only have to unplug connectors,, no cutting of the wiring harness, pretty nice.
For the next build he had a few suggestions, and this is how he decided to communicate them to me. (he knows I'm very tactile and this would be best)...
I over-laid a few pieces on top of his note.
Here are a few details from Elton's bike,

We all know someone who have lost their homes, their retirement savings, lives destroyed. Their whole world have come crashing down to the ground, all because of the Wall Street Banksters. 14 Million Americans now living in poverty while the Government gave trillions to these criminal Bankers who continue to preprtrate the massive Ponzu Scheme, trillions of our money. These Banksters are accountable to no one, not even the government of the United States. It is time we the 99% unplug these monsters. Support the Occupy Wall Street protests everywhere.

This is really random, sorry.
But, the image on the right is SOOC! I thought it was too neat to NOT include it, so I made this raaaandom dippy. But this is meeeeee. I haven't done anything like this in a while .. all smiles and cute new hair and whatnot.
I've been pretty lazy with my 365 over the past few weeks .. but I'm going to fix that.
Today was sooo nice. I did nothing. I watched MTV and TLC all day (Like, come on have you seen 'I was pregnant and didn't even know it' ??). Then I bothered my parents for a while. I actually feel pretty bad for them sometimes. I was that baby that you had to unplug EVERY electronic in the house, turn off every light, and silence any noises for the 20 minutes a day I would sleep. I was the toddler that NEVER slept, and ran around at top speed, never stopped chatting gibberish in my high pitched voice and kicked my little sister. I was the child who was ignorant and thought that I knew better than my parents. Heck, I still am that baby/toddler/child that basically make my parents lives hell. But when I'm not being stupid and doing dumb things like putting metal pots in the microwave or setting garbage cans on fire ( BOTH by accident) I'm actually a pretty cool daughter. I get great marks. I play lots of sports. I put all of my frustration and anger into art. I think that they like me somewhat, because they did keep me. They had many chances to get rid of me over the years C:
But now I have little time left in their home. I've already started dropping hints about the fact that I DO NOT plan on going to university anywhere near home. Well, the ONLY place I want to go is to my beloved UBC. That's why my hair is back to normal colour: I hope to get early acceptance in the fall to UBC at the Toronto University Fair. It's the only thing that I want in this world. I figured that having normal coloured hair would be better than my ususal dead blue/orange/green/pink/black hair.
Tomorow I have to take my camera to Henry's. You can't see it in the picture, because I used clone stamp to get rid of it, but there is like, a Jupiter sized piece of dirt in my camera. Yeah, I treat my camera like CRAP. I'm hoping that a) they'll clean it for free, b) they'll clean it FAST and c) they won't have to send it away to get it cleaned. On Wednesday I'm going to the AGO, so I want to have my camera.
That was long!
So, how was your day?
** SO - I wrote that all out .. took a stop back to admire my work and noticed soemthing. You may not have seen this (I didn't even notice) but because of the actions I used in ps and the editing the shadows under my arms actually looks like such bad sweat stains xD I guarantee you that those are JUST shadows. I'm kind of embarassed, and was going to just re-edit it, but a good friend convinced me that no one would notice. So if you DID notice and was like, grossed out .. you should know that if that WAS what it was, there would be NO WAY that I would include that in a photograph.
Just thought I'd let you know xP

I never heard about cleaning your blades, I would just replace them. But it's a great best practice to clean your blades regularly to extend the life and keep the cuts razor sharp (just remember to unplug the saw!)

"Attention, everyone!"
Oh, it's the police.
Who did what this time??
Did you unplug your popcorn popper?
Yes!
Well, somebody did something!
"Some of you have sent complaints to the Bijou Planks management about the increase in dangerous crime since the war began."
Who sent that?
I might have. I send in dozens of complaints a week. Just to keep them on their toes.
Oh, good idea!
I haven't seen any violent crime in here.
Except from us, you mean.
Oh, yeah.
Well, those decrepit old yahoos in the balcony have started making nose.*
I thought they were all dead or comatose.
"So, you will be happy to know that the Bijou Planks takes customer safety very seriously."
They do??
Since when??
"In answer, they have hired me. I will be patrolling the theater to quickly subdue any criminality."
Criminality?
Criminalonious undertakings.
Ah.
"And, you will notice they spared no expense. Unlike what is usually associated with the Bijou Planks, I am not a minifig or a PVC, but a fully functional 1:18 action figure. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, you have an actual action figure protecting you."
'Action figure' means an articulated figure, right??
"That's correct. I am fully articulated."
You're 5POA!!
And you look goofy.
'Spared no expense'! Ha! What are you, Ja-Ru??
If they were sparing no expense, why not get a Hasbro Joe?
Oh, or one of those new Joy Toy that have been coming into Paprihaven?
Yeah, now those are fully functional!
"I am an action figure, okay? I'm, you know, action oriented! Okay?"
Are you Ja-Ru?
"I'm one of an increasing number of action figures who refuse to be categorized or branded."
He's unlicensed.
JEH-NAIR-RICK!!!
Your hand extends beyond your waist, how are you even going to draw your gun with no elbow joints??
He doesn't even have a gun.
What!?
"I am equipped with a wide variety of safety equipment such as a flashlight, and a carabiner, and lots of pouches."
Man, the Planks management is CHEAP-O!!!
Hiring the cheapest generic cop figure they could find.
'Action figure'! HA!
"Just call me if you need me! I'm right here on patrol! Oh, wait, there was a new slogan. I think they put it in my pouch..."
And you can't get it.
"Well, I remember it! It's, 'Saying thanks, with a safer Planks!' Was that it?"
Good grief.
NEXT!!

@UN Climate Conference (COP23):
Why do we allow, that politicians and "global players" usually play such an unfair game with us and our planet ?
A few things that everyone of us can do right now:
Consume Less
The easiest way to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions is simply to buy less stuff. Whether by forgoing an automobile or employing a reusable grocery sack, cutting back on consumption results in fewer fossil fuels being burned to extract, produce and ship products around the globe.
Think green when making purchases. For instance, if you are in the market for a new car, buy one that will last the longest and have the least impact on the environment. Thus, a used vehicle with a hybrid engine offers superior fuel efficiency over the long haul while saving the environmental impact of new car manufacture.
Paradoxically, when purchasing essentials, such as groceries, buying in bulk can reduce the amount of packaging—plastic wrapping, cardboard boxes and other unnecessary materials. Sometimes buying more means consuming less.
Be Efficient
A potentially simpler and even bigger impact can be made by doing more with less. Citizens of many developed countries are profligate wasters of energy, whether by speeding in a gas-guzzling sport-utility vehicle or leaving the lights on when not in a room.
Good driving and good car maintenance, such as making sure tires are properly inflated, can limit the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from a vehicle and, perhaps more importantly, lower the frequency of payment at the pump.
Similarly, employing more efficient refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances, such as those rated highly under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program, can cut electric bills while something as simple as weatherproofing the windows of a home can reduce heating and cooling bills. Such efforts can also be usefully employed at work, whether that means installing more efficient turbines at the power plant or turning the lights off when you leave the office.
Stop Cutting Down Trees
Every year, 33 million acres of forests are cut down. Timber harvesting in the tropics alone contributes 1.5 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere. That represents 20 percent of human-made greenhouse gas emissions and a source that could be avoided relatively easily.
Improved agricultural practices along with paper recycling and forest management, balancing the amount of wood taken out with the amount of new trees growing, could quickly eliminate this significant chunk of emissions.
And when purchasing wood products, such as furniture or flooring, buy used goods or, failing that, wood certified to have been sustainably harvested. The Amazon and other forests are not just the lungs of the earth, they may also be humanity's best short-term hope for limiting climate change.
Unplug
Believe it or not, U.S. citizens spend more money on electricity to power devices when off than when on. Televisions, stereo equipment, computers, battery chargers and a host of other gadgets and appliances consume more energy when seemingly switched off, so unplug them instead.
Purchasing energy-efficient gadgets can also save both energy and money and thus prevent more greenhouse gas emissions. To take but one example, efficient battery chargers could save more than one billion kilowatt-hours of electricity — $100 million at today's electricity prices — and thus prevent the release of more than one million metric tons of greenhouse gases.
Swapping old incandescent lightbulbs for more efficient replacements, such as compact fluorescents (warning: these lightbulbs contain mercury and must be properly disposed of at the end of their long life), would save billions of kilowatt-hours. In fact, according to the EPA, replacing just one incandescent lightbulb in every American home would save enough energy to provide electricity to three million American homes.
And there is so much more we can do to reduce our carbon footprint ...

About a month ago, I posted the previous image Into The Dark, mentioning how we unplug from all the conveniences and trappings of modern culture. When we do this, we like to travel around the less visited spots in New England, sleeping in a tent, soaking in the scenery from some of our favorite places.
About the second week in, we traveled up to far northern Maine, just short of the Canadian border, to Flagstaff Lake, near the Bigelow mountain range. This is the view from our campsite. If it looks a bit familiar, it's the same location where I shot Flagstaff Lake Sunrise in 2009.
When you have a great scene in front of you, it's tempting to try to recreate a previous success. I fought the urge to do just that, trying my best to come up with new compositions and angles. Besides, the conditions never seem to cooperate for a repeat performance, so I cleared any previously held notions and just regarded the new view, the clouds draping the mountains, and yet another spectacular sunrise event.
And it's done! I can haul it around without taking the cover off, if I want to. Just have to remember to unplug it first.
This is not a hard project, it just seems like it when you have to write out every little step, in actuality you should be able to make one of these in just an hour or two once your fabric is ready.
I choose to not add a lining, seemed like a waste of fabric considering what light use this will get. You can add one if you like, but reverse the layout of the right side/left side panels when you attach them to the main piece so they'll fit nicely. (This only applies if your side pieces are asymetrical.) Make the lining and insert it into the exterior and stitch along the bottom before applying the binding. Cut a slit in the top where the handle opening is and hand tack it down to the opening after turning under the raw edges. A couple of stitches in the seam allowances near the top, also, would be a good idea to lock the layers together.
I hope you're able to make sense of this tute, let me know if you have questions or to point out any mistakes I've made, please!
While hiking, I have been seeing a growing number of people taking only a brief view of the surroundings and then burying themselves in their electronic devices. This ongoing project highlights the need to re-examine our need to unplug and just enjoy the beauty of this world.

I switched off all my machines including my phone on the weekend and discovered a new hangout cafe! Just what I needed! Thanks to the owners and amazing staff at The Missing Piece for making my first visit such a treat. Will be back soon for more sketching and eating your great food!

In 8th Grade, I invented a safety feature for electrical outlets. It uses an attachable magnet that goes on the male plug (and stays on the plug when you unplug the appliance) and a magnetic reed switch inside the electrical outlet. The current doesn't turn on inside the outlet until a magnetic field is present. That keeps kids with forks or knives poking into the outlet from being electrocuted.
I won 1st place in Physical Science at the school and the Regional Science Fair that year. I didn't get to go to State because I was only in 8th Grade. If I had been a Freshman, I would have been invited to go to State competition.
My Dad commissioned a law firm in 1975 to do a patent search. They found in Argentina (U S Patent 3,868,160), someone had a similar invention that used a magnet and two others (No. 3,846,598 and No. 3,699,285) that used the ground prong to push the circuit into a closed state and one other (No. 3,596,019) that was just like my idea except it used a pin attachment on the plug to turn on the circuit in the outlet. Another similar invention was a power cable coupler (Patent 3,496,500) intended to be used in marine environments that had a sliding collar with a magnet in it that matched a reed switch inside the coupler housing and actuated it after the cable was plugged in and locked. I never saw those items on the market. The lawyer said otherwise it was a perfectly patentable idea.
Other ideas I've had but other people patented first:
Legos with batteries, wires, lights and motors inside and put together to form a circuit. I have a rejection letter from Samsonite (the US license holder of Lego products at the time). Now Lego is selling my idea.
Dental Floss Picks (I came up with this idea in the mid '70's too, but didn't do anything with it)
GPS Enabled Polaroid Cameras (now Ricoh has announced a GPS Enabled Digital Camera)
Urinal Toy (pee on a sensor and get a high score)
I have a couple more ideas that I haven't seen patented yet... but can't afford the process of getting the patent! It is frustrating waiting too long and seeing your ideas make someone else money.
Are there any other frustrated inventors out there?
hello hello y'all! i am back and starting a 52 project that maybe i'll actually finish this time.
i've had this photo idea in my head for YEARS and finally got to execute it. i'm super stoked about how it turned out. this photo was v inspired by these two photos: one and two
s/o to my bestie sam for helping me make final touches to this pic. without ur guidance i would be LOST
anyways...... see ya next week!
That was how the foster Mom described Fox. Well, he's been with us for a year now, and our household metabolism has perked up considerably. He's charmed his way into our hearts and our household, and he seems real happy to be part of our lives as well.
A lifetime of dog pack membership--and this is the first "boy" mutt I've taken in. ("If female dogs are called bitches then we should call male dogs bastards.") Well, this guy is a handful, but we have our fun. My neighbors know I've got a PsychoRezMutt, and yet they're fans as well. "You so crazy, Fox," they say, "--but we love you."
And any of you old geezers out there, who might be wondering about what to do with your "free time", once you unplug from the 9-5--my advice: go get yourself a high-maintenance, super-smart, separation-anxiety-prone Rescue mutt. Like the lady said, "no dog for a couch potato"--(I've dropped 15 pounds over the past year with this guy!) A salute to all the good people who work in animal rescue, and help match up people and their "pets".

Fire at Friog highlights importance of smoke alarms and electrical safetyPosted 14/02/2018 16:55:43
Listen
Fire Officers are reminding residents of the importance of smoke alarms and the dangers of electrical fires after a couple were alerted to a fire in their Friog home early this morning (Wednesday February 14th).
Crews from Dolgellau, Aberdyfi and Barmouth were called to the semi detatched property in Friog, Gwynedd at 06.06hrs.
Firefighters used one main jet, two hose reel jets, two sets of breathing apparatus and a thermal imaging camera to tackle the fire.
The occupants were asleep when the fire broke out but were awoken by the sound of the smoke alarms activating.
The fire originated in a bedroom of the property and caused substantial fire damage to half of the property.
The cause of the fire is thought to electrical involving an electrical heat mat.
Mike Owen from North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said:
“This incident highlights the importance of working smoke alarms – if the alarm had not roused them, the consequences could have been fatal.
"It's so important to operate appliances according to the manufacturer instructions and to check electrical items and leads for signs of damage or wear. Always buy from a reputable source and keep heated appliances away from combustible materials.
“This fire clearly shows the danger of electrical fires - they can strike anytime, anywhere. Our advice is to be as prepared as possible in the event of fire, by ensuring that working smoke alarms are fitted in your home and that you have clear escape routes to enable you and your family to exit your home as quickly as possible.
"There are some simple steps you can take to help prevent an electrical fire in your home. They include:
- DON'T overload plug sockets
- DO Regularly check for worn or frayed wires
- DO Unplug appliances when not in use
- DO Keep appliances clean and in good working order
- DO fully unwind extension cables prior to their use.
Why not try out our 'ampage' calculator on our website and facebook page – visitwww.nwales-fireservice.org.uk - it tells you if you are overloading your sockets and helps you to stay electrically safe." Steeped in history this grade 2 listed cottage dates back to the 15th century and was originally home to the prior of a cell of Cisterian monks who transported travellers across the estuary to Barmouth. It later passed to notorious pirate David Williams whose initials are carved into the beam of the inglenook and the wall outside the front door with the date 1773. Comprising entrance hallway leading to lounge, dining room, kitchen and shower room on the ground floor with 2 double bedrooms on the 1st floor. The attached former barn is renovated to 1st fix stage with lime plastered walls and planning permission to convert into a 2 bedroom dwelling. The cottage retains many original features including ledge and brace doors, beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplace, panelled walls and has the benefit of modern day necessities of a recently refurbished kitchen and shower room with under floor heating. The rear garden is fully enclosed, prettily and maturely planted with many different elements including wood stores, greenhouse, pond and woodland area.

canon 6d
Interested to find out how manageable high iso n how clean can this newly anticipated full-frame contender??
Can Canon 6D truly unplug to deliver those charming whistle among competitive rivals? So far, some relevant mighty headlines free echo had been spreading on the common street with favoritism praise by satisfy user .. but how true it is????
Practically me, no insight technical metrology though , summarise to drill on the interesting highlight of ISO aspect with down to earth unbiased information as I own both the Canon 5d2 n 6D n other canon latest camera.
Here, pushing n testing some of the unusual limit of raising ISO 800 beside the normal ISO 100 with just single count exposure during my night landscape shot ! It seem to picking up some minor dark shadow noise, I don't really see any different up to this point even with my old 5Dmark2. The following iSo may interest more when u start pumping up, differences may appear especially those attempt longer exposure at night with slight struggle noise from ISO2000-3200 when call in. However, 6D exhibit much acceptable cleaner n finer color noise pick up by our common visible eye, when kick harder into ISO3200-6400 region, it slowly turn sucks for my personal limitation preference if pro-longe exposure more than 20s would briefly terrify an image during dark or dimly lit condition, but , still a useful iso helper during good daylight combat to gain for faster shutter speed by day with very less worry.
For ISO 6400 onwards, noise condition varies much with canon top of the line good quality glass that able to shot at widest end. However, a normal third party lens will show it true color, the forbidden ugly yucky noise start rising from f4 onwards.
Ignore the 250,000 ISO. Chances of other lower ISO is mere nonsense or gimmick from major popular website guru-reviewers who testify as still usable, a skeptical commercial tactic or been undertable compensated for self benefit reason to claim positive remarks had screw up many earger buyer into wrong believed.
Final verdict appear that, not really so desirable once after the holy mark iso 3200. Don't fall into the legendary rumors of it high capability of sweet superb ISO terminology , any attempt above that, it simply ruin your image.. Canon's yet need indepth technical improvement with such technology here. Unless people can really afford high end wide opening f1.2 super fast lens pair with such heavenly spec advance camera. If not, forget about it high ISO fantasy at the moment. Focusing was average as less miss n hit continue depend on combination skill during servo tracking mode. Be amaze with the primitive ONe Shot mode. A killer keeper with fantastic result at most time. Overall Color display is towards nice warmer vivid tone, however, exposure may tend to lean on brighter side but acceptable unless u take the effort to manual compensate -2/3 stop depend on what u r metering at.
Congratulate those who're still holding on their 5DMark2, please continue to enjoy the fundamental robust mechanism of fullframe though some may feel somehow back dated but rest assure the substential reliable engineering n technology did proven numerous awards recognition winning shot taken by it predecessor without doubt praise by the world.
I see little trade off for those preparing giving up their mark2. With Canon 6D paper, U may acquire what today's Canon intelligent imaging digi 5+ processor inside with the ability climb up to +3 ev that canon claim able to shot at moon light condition but, but ... remember not a guarantee 100% token it will absolutely strike during critical precious moment that make u hate their promise, I'm seriously afraid photographers may loss more of other essential function what ur 5d2 previously had are awefully missing from 6D.
Last words, keep ur 5 D2 n continue shooting. I'm feeling regret at some point .

Days went, and hours past, but the thought was still there not even thinking of leaving. Rochelle's friend had not long ago gotten cancer. She had passed countless surgeries, with rochelle impatiently waiting outside, but the cancer would only spread...everyday was a fight for survival...but one day, it went up to the point where the doctors had quit, and simply turned off her life support... Only seconds after Frankie finally turned and looked at her.
"you are the best friend I have ever had...and don't you cry for me, and I'll always remember our good memories..."
Then slowly, her eyes shut, deafening the atmosphere by a loud buzz of the machine tracking her heartbeat... Rochelle cried and stayed the whole night by her friend, waiting for her to maybe just open her eyes once more, or maybe just to go out for some shopping and a girls night out.
She realised that you don't know what you have till it's gone, and how tragic it was watching a simple wire unplug from the wall... But this time it wasn't the power leaving.
It was her friends life.
Peak trains laying over in the running shed. The overhead track to the left of the lights is the power supply, via the cables, to the shed socket on the train, enabling it to be driven out of the shed. Quite a few were pulled down by drivers forgetting to stop and unplug.
Similar to a previous photo I posted, but the plane that left Dulles here had all their lights on, and I used a more diffused Photoshop treatment to it, with a bit of a warm glow to it.
Anyway, coming next: my first fashion shoot and some pretty cool sunset photos from Ventura last night. Stay tuned, or unplug and go get a coffee. It's freezing out!
Sometimes we all need to 'unplug' / take a break from the World Wide Web. I wasn't gone a 100% but enough to focus on my family, my daytime job and my photography. I have to say it has been well worth it!!! Because I have had BIG, exciting things happening & I'm still in shock! I'd never guess these big company's would find my work. And no, it is not with Getty images which is probably why I am so excited.
So with that being said, I've been on cloud nine for the past few weeks :)
However, I'm still crazy busy with life itself and with more projects coming up but when I get a few extra mins, I'll jump on here to check out everyone's work. I feel like I've missed so much. :/ Well, I hope all my flickr friends are having an amazing weekend!!! I hope to be back very soon! :) - Sarah
While hiking, I have been seeing a growing number of people taking only a brief view of the surroundings and then burying themselves in their electronic devices. This ongoing project highlights the need to re-examine our need to unplug and just enjoy the beauty of this world.

normally i dislike having my photo taken, specifically by anyone other than myself (i don't mind taking photos of myself that much, honestly, but sharing them with other people is another matter)...
the reasons for which are many and would require an essay length explanation, but it is an openly primary reason i prefer to project my feelings or creativity and ideas on to other things besides my own body, for example such as dolls and figures, or game avatars and so on.
lately i was looking through a lot of flickr self-portrait groups though and really enjoying many of the pictures i was seeing, so maybe it triggered a desire to do something different...
also i was overly-hyperactive and energetic this morning and in the early afternoon, and all that energy and happiness is mostly dissipated now, so it seems appropriate to commemorate something transient like that.
these were taken around 1:45pm today. it was very hot and humid and sunny so i just ran around my backyard for a while because i didn't have much time to take many pictures at all due to having 1~2 hours doctors' appointment coming up in the rest of the afternoon.
of course, when i got home from the city, there was immediately a massive thunderstorm that lasted at least 2 more hours and i always unplug my PC during storms in case the house gets hit by lightning. so i didn't even get to look at the pictures i took until about an hour ago.
well, i'm not sure how comfortable i am with taking these kinds of photos, but perhaps someone somewhere will enjoy them... pushing one's self out of your own comfort zone is an important thing to do in life anyway.
Today our little town was doing a kite day to encourage families to unplug. Only about 20 families showed up but It was still fun to see all the kites up in the air. This was our first time flying a kite and I loved it... I found it to be very relaxing once the dang thing was up in the air.
On a side note I am so behind on this 365. I needed to take a tiny break but I plan on catching up and getting my motivation back.

"This is a parallel world. This is exactly what we expect it to be.
This is the Internet. The web. This is the same world we live in, but we can't see it. Only a few people can, and only if they are out of their mind. That's what it takes to be able to live it. Codes, viruses and sensations. Display, letters and fake fame. Like in our world. So, if you would have the chance now to be able to see it, would it be y or n? Plug it or unplug it? Error. Probably."
