They are so defenseless and vulnerable when they're this young and yet, there it was, out and about, even though making uncoordinated short flights, already learning all about the big scary world :) Happy Earth Day
The yellow on the wing tells me it's a Goldfinch but I could be wrong so help confirming or correcting the ID
Thank you very much Shaun for confirming the ID of the bird

Busseau sur Creuse, 23 France. Taken from the same position as the previous photo, but looking north towards the road bridge, which carries the D50 road across the river. I'm not sure how old this is, but I suspect it was built near the end of the 18thC. This was the first time I've used Foma 200 since it's recall, and sad to say, it still seems very vulnerable to scratches, but this might be due in part to the fairly primitive finish of the Hongmei! Taken for International Commie Camera Days 2013, with a 1970's Chinese made folding camera.

"Libera la vulnerabilità,
essa, risiede in ognuno di noi,
ciò non significa sintomo di debolezza."
Angela Sclaunich
One of the most beautiful things in Iceland for me personally: Glaciers. The immense size and shapes... Just love it and photographing it is very satisfying with all the shapes and colors. Unfortunately these giants are melting fast. So powerfull and immense, yet so vulnerable
This is Seward Johnson's full-size reconstruction of Edouard Manet's painting "Olympia", which is in the Musee d'Orsay. It is most striking -- one steps through a door into a full-size bedroom, with the prostitute Olympia and her servant (and cat) rendered as though one had stepped into the painting. All in all, an astounding feeling to view this marvelous piece of art.

Last week I took my friend Alfredo and his bf Casey to do a shoot in Central Park and when we finished I wanted to take some extra shots for a nice portrait of them together that conveys feelings of love, intimacy and vulnerability. After editing it a bit I noticed the foliage looked kind of heart shaped so I just enhanced it a bit to make it more prominent.
About being vulnerable.

This is a self portrait that I took a little while ago, but I never had the guts to post it, I cropped it a little higher though, and now I feel better putting on the internet... I was experimenting with lighting and shadows.
does age bring on a certain vulnerablity?
"When we were children,
we used to think that when we were grown-up
we would no longer be vulnerable.
But to grow up is to accept vulnerability...
To be alive is to be vulnerable."
Madeleine L'Engle
Happy Birthday to vulnerable me~

Sometimes I just want to ask people what makes their heart happy, where they retreat to when things get hard, if they prefer to be in the mountains or at the sea or maybe they love both, what kind of weather their soul needs, and which thoughts stand out when they are drunk in the middle of the night.

If you weren't aware, our endemic Hoiho or Yellow-Eyed Penguin, is the rarest penguin on the planet with populations believed to be hovering around 1,700 breeding pairs. Around 600 are believed to be distributed around the South Island and Stewart Island, with the rest residing on our Sub-Antarctic Islands further south.
Predation by introduced pests, habitat loss, and human disturbance are all key contributing factors to the decline of the Hoiho's numbers with major and strict interventions having to be put in place to try and protect them where we can. Viewing hides, frequent trapping, and restricted access areas have been set up in coastal regions where these penguins frequent in an attempt to bolster their chances of rebounding.
Hoiho feed 2-25km out to sea each day, with parents taking turns incubating eggs, and frequently spend all day out at sea hunting, leaving early in the morning and returning late in the afternoon. Notoriously, upon returning to shore, individuals will usually wait and scope out the beach for threats before trekking up into the vegetation they've nested in. Humans are regularly identified as a threat and the penguin will wait in the water, slowly digesting the precious fish it needs to feed its chick with while it waits for the threat to pass.
To me, this image highlights this stunning penguins vulnerability. Something about the way this individual is precariously positioned above the ocean struck a chord with me about just how fragile their existence is. Living on battered, cold coastlines like this and dealing with as many day to day challenges as they do, it's no wonder that it's a struggle to survive. The least we can do for them is to ensure human related stresses and threats don't compound that further.

17 year old female polar bear (Ursus maritimus) named "Tatqiq" at the San Diego Zoo. Conservation status: Vulnerable
Not exactly a good shot, but this is a very important capture for me, as this is such a vulnerable and rare species, mostly due to loss of habitat and intensive hunting for cagebird trade. And, till now, it's not being possible to reproduce the species in captivity...
We had the information that a flock of them used to flight over the place around 2 p.m.. So we went there and waited. We were already about to give up, because they were really late this day, but, around 4 p.m. we began to hear them, in flight. Two of them have perched in a tree, a little far. Although the light was already fading, we still got a few shots of them.

I always thought the hair and makeup did a good job of disguising me as a person and used to see modelling in the early days as a 'performers' job - the real me just wasn't there. But what I've learnt as I've improved is that a good model can be anything she needs to be to get the shot - but the best models are the ones that aren't afraid to push themselves out of their comfort zones, show vulnerability and shoot emotive work and concepts that really mean something to them. When I first starting doing those kinds of shots, for me, it all changed and my work got that much better as a result.
I won't ever do erotica or bondage work (you're on the wrong page if you're looking for that) but I'll show you what I've learned of life through an artist's eyes as a model and as a photographer.
My emotive portraits go some way to showing that but this year I'll also be aiming to shoot more conceptual work - photos with a purpose. They're more effort and harder work but the results speak for themselves.
In the meantime, hope you like this latest emotive portrait from this fabulous team -

If I gave you every piece of me, I know that you could drop it
Give you the chance, I know that you could take advantage once you got it
If I open up my heart to you, I know that you could lock it
Throw away the key and keep it there forever in your pocket
If I gave the opportunity to you, then would you blow it?
If I was the greatest thing that happened to you, would you know it?
If my love was like a flower, would you plant it, would you grow it?
I might give you all my body, are you strong enough to hold it?
If I show you all my demons
And we dive into the deep end
Would we crash and burn like every time before?

This is another one of the category "on flickr about one million times already" but I like it that I made it to achieve this style that I have seen so many times.
Thats why I want to show it.
Everybody who feels bored about it please move instantly or tell me in the comments. I like it.
