52 Week Photo Challenge
Canon EOS 20D and a mounted flash. Shot using a remote against my bedroom wall, white diffuser above my head and a gold reflector to the right.
The inscription reads: "Angels fly because they carry no burdens." It's a Richard Bach quote.
This one freaked me out... when I painted the hummer the first time, the colors were flat, garish and totally inappropriate for the muted background. I thought I'd wrecked the piece, but then tonight, I went in and painted over him with more muted tones and added shading, as well. Then I did as Paulette suggested and outlined some of his features with black water-based marker.
I like it a lot better now. :D
I decided to do a 10 week old pic showing the girls in their natural habitat outside. I can't wait for them to start laying me some pretty eggs. It can be anywhere from 14 weeks to 30 weeks from what I've heard. Ali and Ari should lay blue/green or even pink eggs and Mary and Molly should lay dark chocolate brown eggs.
Theme Of The Week - "Summertime"
Misha Barkton taught herself that trick to get attention. We always have to cook a hot dog for her.
A huge thank you to everyone who voted for me last week; you guys are awesome!
PS. I don't know what is up with the beer bottle. It was really there. I guess the sun was hitting it at a weird angle!
Welcome to Global Week – a celebration of the rich cultural diversity across all three campuses – running from Monday 3 to Friday 7 March 2014.
Last week, I ended up getting sick so I didn't get a chance to practice my week subject (Portraits). Between work and being sick, it was a fail.
So I will definitely put (portraits) back into the pile and practice that soon. But for right now, I picked the new topic (B&W). Today, we are currently dealing with a wonderful snow storm called Stella.
I sat myself in the closet on a stool & waited with my camera for some noise. Boy, that didn't take long! Ha:)
" The Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial, 50.5 acres in extent, is situated in a beautiful wooded area. The cemetery was established on December 29, 1944 by the 609th Quartermaster Company of the U.S. Third Army while Allied Forces were stemming the enemy's desperate Ardennes Offensive, one of the critical battles of World War II. The city of Luxembourg served as headquarters for Gen. George S. Patton's U.S. Third Army. Gen. Patton is buried here.
Not far from the cemetery entrance stands the white stone chapel, set on a wide circular platform surrounded by woods. It is embellished with sculpture in bronze and stone, a stained glass window with American unit insignia, and a mosaic ceiling. Flanking the chapel at a lower level are two large stone pylons upon which are maps made of various inlaid granites, with inscriptions recalling the achievements of the American armed forces in this region. On the same pylons are inscribed the names of 371 of the missing. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified.
Sloping gently downhill from the memorial is the burial area containing 5,076 of our military dead, many of whom lost their lives in the Battle of the Bulge and in the advance to the Rhine River. Their headstones follow graceful curves; trees, fountains and flower beds contribute to the dignity of the ensemble.
The cemetery is open daily to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except December 25 and January 1. It is open on host country holidays. When the cemetery is open to the public, a staff member is on duty in the visitor building to answer questions and escort relatives to grave and memorial sites. "

Obligatory belly shot at 15 weeks. I imagine in another few weeks or so, I won't be able to see my knees from this angle.
I was very lucky to get the opportunity to shoot at a catwalk show at London Fashion Week courtesy of Canon.
Not my usual type of photography but an extremely enjoyable experience and a chance to appreciate what a hard job it is for both the models and photographers.

For week 9, I waited until my photography clubs long exposure/sparklers photo event. I took a bunch of portraits of people playing with their sparklers, but this one truly captured the joy of sparklers!
Project 52 2013, Week 18:
Strobist Info: Two Nikon SB-26, camera left and right, inside 28" Westcott @ 1/2 power. Rim light sun.
At which time it appears to have been warm enough to linger over a gin and tonic in the early evening sunshine. That feels like a long time ago, but the evidence is here before your eyes.
And in case you were eyeing my exif data - here's how I did it

Week 6: My City
Project 52
This picture was taken at Sunset Park in my current city of Florissant. What makes this picture special for me is that the tower lines you see in the picture actually run across the river directly into my original 'city' of Black Walnut, MO. When I bought this house the power lines running down the street reminded me of the power lines that ran through my great grandparents' farm - turns out they were the same ones!
24th - 30th December 2012
Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed
I came so close to running away, giving up on everything... and yet I didn't.
Maybe I can do this.
I'm back at my parents for the week and while I don't enjoy it very much, it was nice to see my family and friends again. I went outside looking for a location to shoot, but everything was muddy and not interesting. Then I looked through the trees, and not at it, and I had an idea.
Merry Christmas everybody and a happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all. Here is my entry for Week # 01, NEW. This is a wheel from the new bike I bought for my wife. Nothing like a new bike that runs and shifts smoothly! With new tires, there are always the little pieces of rubber that stick out and eventually wear off with use. These tires have a lot of these. I love the spoke pattern on these wheels too.
This was originally a photo for 64 Colors Round Two.
The week for grey happened to be Asexuality Awareness Week so I thought I'd show of pride as a grey asexual (meaning I occasionally experience sexual attraction, whereas asexuals generally don't). The asexual pride flag consists of black, grey, white, and purple stripes. Coincidentally, I have socks in those colors though they're in the wrong order (I got them before I found out I was grey). For more about asexuality, check out AVEN: www.asexuality.org/home/overview.html

Week one of my one year self portrait project. Shot in the bedroom where I grew up, at my parents house.
There were free moustaches in the students' union, and suddenly the world was introduced to Sam McTash: quick at the draw, slick with the wimmin, and a mean taste for liquor.
(I was trying to make a 'tache like Nick Cave currently has but this scuzzy cowboy appeared instead.)

Summer Movies
Nothing like the early weeks of May as the Summer Movie Season kicks off. That means "BLOCKBUSTERS"! This May looks like a good one with Iron Man kicking off this week and Indiana Jones later on. Not to mention that we get Dark Knight, Hancock, Wall E, Kung Fu Panda and more.
I know that with quick turnarounds on DVD releases and torrents, movies can be had at home for little or no cost. But, I'm a fan of a good movie experience. Nothing like big crowds, the smell of popcorn permeating the hallways and a the great picture and sounds.
As a youngster, we'd surely spend our summer days visiting some local theater be it the $1 show running B-grade 3D films, the Capitol Drive-In, and the upscale Winchester Century Domes.
It's a bit funny how things cycle. We have a couple of monster plexs nearby. Literally, 36 screens within 5 minutes of the house. But, we find ourselves heading to the Domes more and more. Smaller crowds but still a quality experience. I've been told that the Domes were very, very upscale in the 60s. It was considered far more than a casual drop in. People would get fancied up to go there and the candy was served from fancy platters and not just giant tubs.
It's not that way anymore but those theaters still maintain a bit of the ambiance. But, it'll change eventually because that property could easily be turned into 100 Plex if they wanted. Someone will realize that the are only running 6 screens and turn it into some extension of Santana Row.
In the meantime, we'll enjoy our popcorn. And Slurpees.
A new age for me starts now.
I searched for a digital reflex camera since month and yesterday I bought this baby :) - a Canon EOS 500D.
First I wanted to buy the 450D because there was a special bargain. But then I gave some thoughts to the future and decided to invest only 50 Euro more.
This week I was on the way to get some documents which I need for my apartment hunting.
On saturday evening I met Andrea, a Flickr friend, who visited Berlin. She wants to move to Berlin and so she was here to get an idea of the different districts of Berlin. She also do '365 days', so take a look at her stream ;-)

Some of you may remember my shot from week 30 when we were house sitting.
While he wasn't in the shot, he is the dog that everyone aside from Rigby, was looking at out of frame.
Funnily enough, Rigby was really the only one that paid any attention to the decrepit old dog.
Dino was the reason that we were house-sitting that week. His owner feared that he may die in her absence, so she opted out of boarding.
He was fine with us during that week. Came on the occasional walk with us, ate his food no problem.
Last week he lost the use of his legs entirely. He couldn't move at all. His owner decided that this was the best course of action for her elderly Yorkie. We will be holding a memorial for him sometime in the coming weeks.
Rest In Peace Dino, you will be missed by many.
