Happy 'roid week, day 2/image 1.
This was shot with a polaroid sx-70 sonar, long exposure with a bit of movement, the emulsion was transferred onto water color paper. The pressed flower was glued onto photo.
Although this is New York City, the vulnerable ones: African Americans and Hispanics are being affected more than Whites by Covid-19. New York City is just as unequal as any other city

Great Wednesday everyone!
Pose - by yours truly ;) Trying to get back to making poses (slo..w..ly... lol)
So... this answers the age-old question "what's the last thing a rabbit sees?"
On a different note, if you're familiar with Sam the Eagle (The Muppets) then I think we know who was the inspiration for the character.

The most vulnerable people in the United States include people of all ages, poor, under-educated, unemployed, mentally ill, drug addicts, immigrants, anyone whose skin isn't white, physically ill, ex-convicts, and those who are homeless. These people are virtually helpless and while our government can put men on the moon, we can't find it in our hearts to have enough compassion to put our own people in places of safety and care.
We can find a way to give tax cuts to billionaires but we can't find a way to provide affordable healthcare for much of our population.

Almost 5 year old female snow leopard (Panthera uncia), "Penny", at the San Diego Zoo", at the San Diego Zoo. Conservation Status: Vulnerable
....a work on the subject of emotion using dolls, they express it so well !
Thanks all ♥♥ have a nice day ☼♪♫
This tiny, delicate little antelope is a dik-dik. They know they are vulnerable and scatter quickly when approached. What is remarkable is that this little once did not bolt and look how it is camouflaged.
It is different to capture them as they are gone in a wink of an eye. Their sensitive ears and big eyes help protect against predators. Look at those beautiful eyes. I'll show a close up portrait in a later post.
IUCN status: Vulnerable (VU)
The Sarus crane is the tallest flying bird in the world standing 152-156 cm tall with a wingspan of 240cm. It has a predominantly grey plumage with a naked red head and upper neck and pale red legs. It weighs 6.8-7.8 Kgs. It is a social creature, found mostly in pairs or small groups of three or four. Known to mate for life with a single partner, its breeding season coincides with heavy rainfall in monsoon. Nests are constructed on water in natural wetlands or in flooded paddy fields. Usually a clutch has only one or two eggs, which are incubated by both parents for a period of 26 to 35 days. The juveniles follow their parents from the day of birth.

Female snow leopard (Panthera uncia) named "Naphisa" (born May 16, 2018) has recently moved from Zoo New England to San Diego to take part in the Snow Leopard SSP breeding.

when something is taken when you least expect it.
I had my laptop stolen from my house... there was a robbery last night whilst we were all out of the house. I lost a lot of work.. both photographs and written work. I have learnt to back up my work the hard way. I haven't lost a massive amount, as I back up now and again, but still it's frustrating. We had CSI round today to take finger prints, was so interesting to watch them dust around.
So annoying, there were quite a few pictures I'd wanted to upload... but now they are gone :( this is just an old shot I found, I had more hair then haha.
Well apart from that I have had nice things happen to me. Having such fun work experience at the moment, assisted a filmed photo shoot for a magazine cover, and will be assisting another cover shoot again soon. Such great experience, I'm learning so much.

This little beauty suddenly burst open and revealed the stamens with lots of yellow pollen, something I had never seen before...
Dicentra's flowering period: April to May, arching sprays of dainty, rose-pink, heart-shaped flowers appear in late spring above fern-like, fresh green leaves.
They come in white and pale pink too.
A single flower of Dicentra spectabilis, about the size of the tip of my thumb, it will never cease to fill me with wonder and marvel at the intricacy and beauty of Nature.

My photograph 'Goodbye my lover' was used as album art for a song cover of Jeff Buckley's 'Last Goodbye' by musician Patrick Thomas!
Patrick is an extraordinarily talented musician & I'm beyond honored that he asked me to contribute art. I had never heard 'Last Goodbye' before & was completely astonished with how it perfectly represented the emotions I felt when I took that photograph.
To listen to Patrick's cover of 'Last Goodbye',click here.
I truly feel that forms of art can play off of each other to create an unbelievably powerful emotional experience.
This is one of them.
I send a warm thank you to Patrick Thomas for his compassion & gratitude!

Southern Ground-hornbills are both culturally and ecologically important. They are hailed across their sub-Saharan range as the thunderbirds or rainbirds. They are also a valuable flagship species for the savannah biome as they are easily recognizable and with such large spatial requirements, any successful conservation action in even one of their expansive territories benefits all the other savanna and grassland species, including threatened species such as vultures, wild dog, and cheetah. Their populations continue to decline towards being "Critically Endangered" in South Africa. The reasons for their decline are predominantly loss of habitat to bush-encroachment and development, overgrazing, large-scale monoculture, loss of large nesting trees, besides secondary poisoning, lead toxicosis from spent lead ammunition, and electrocution on transformer boxes.

We’ve had no freezes yet and some of the plants think it’s spring. Like a “candle in the wind” it likely won’t survive the next 3 months even if covered during freezing weather.
So... these past days I was taking part on a workshop. I was invited to go as an assistant to the lecturing photographers, but I was then told that I'd participate on the challenges as well.
Which I wasn't prepared for.
The challenges consisted in telling a story with 36 clicks only. I started many and gave up on all of them, specially because it's impossible to tell a tale of self-portraits with 36 clicks only. I usually take 15 to get one good shot that I like.
Anyway, I ended up with a very mediocre story to show, which I'll share later, but going through the photos I took, I think that if I had more time and was allowed more clicks maybe I'd have something more interesting to show... hahaha
One of the things I learned from the other people participating on the workshop was to accept some kinds of light x shadow situations and angles that I wouldn't even think of using, but that actually work on a photo and look good and create an interesting atmosphere.
I took this photo on a friday morning and sunday morning we all presented a slideshow with our stories. And one of the slideshows was telling a very dramatic story, with a very dramatic kind of light.
This is the link to the video, if you wish to see: THE FARM INCIDENT (password = pwya)
If I hadn't seen Caio's slideshow I would have discarted this photo as a photo in which I had gotten the light wrong. Even if there is this vulnerability in the image which I like and which I so rarely see in myself. But in which I was most of the time during the workshop. I even had nightmares for two nights all going about my mediocrity. Heh...
In this photo, it seems like a moment in time was frozen as I was walking in to a scene. Me gusta.
Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) named "Sampson". This playful fellow is >20 years old and is the largest species in the parrot family. The hyacinth macaw is the rarest of the macaws and is found only in Brazil.
Sampson has a special yard at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park entrance where he enjoys greeting guests.

Thanks to a fun collaboration with a sweet dolly friend, Prickly Bird finally has a name: Quinnley.
The name combines all we see in this particular Poppy: a bit snobby, dramatic, regal and maybe even a tiny bit vulnerable. The name came after I hoped a photo might help me find another dimension to this Poppy than potential schemer (which would ensure she'd get to stay here a bit longer, too).
Quinnley even has a bit of an adventure in store this year: She'll be refusing to join my "lower-class" Play Poppys but won't be content languishing on a shelf either. We'll keep you updated as her plans unfold... :)
