View allAll Photos Tagged Week!
Back after a long hibernation. Didn't get to touch my camera for a couple of months and I see that all of you have already on week 18. Feels like waking up after a long sleep. Sometimes life pushes you through various situations and one needs to prioritize.
Attended the #flickr10 photo walk today in #bangalore. This guy asked us to take his picture and posed for us.
PS: Please don't smoke. It Kills.
For the very first time, the Abode of Divine Mother rejoiced an entire week as the whole ashram filled with so many sweet offspring. Wherever you looked, there were babies, toddlers, courageous pregnant women and amazingly open-minded parents and kids from all over the world who came (some for the first time) to spend their holidays together in an unusual and, for many, a very new environment. A daily schedule was created to be appropriate for parents, school-age and kindergarten kids. Activities such as puja, yajna, Bhagavad Gita games, Mother Earth meditation, bhajan singing, dancing, sharing, free time and games showed that spirituality on the bhakti path is not something boring, but brings fun, joy and learning too. The stone for a new era has been laid and is now waiting to be built upon! Jai Gurudev

Right then, a new year,a new project.
After giving the 365 a go last year, and stopping because I found myself just taking pictures to fill the gaps, I've decided to do a picture a week.
Taking the time to MAKE a picture, rather than just TAKE one.
Hopefully this goes a little better than last year.

I went paintballing today with some friends, and this little guy was out there. That's his mask up there by the way. We had a great time, and while I was on the sideline watching, I took some pictures. Enjoy
Since last Polaroid Week I got a new position at my work which doesn't give me as much desk time therefore less time to get up take a walk the the sole purpose of taking photos. So with this past week being rather busy and/or poor weather and the fact I didn't realize it was Polaroid week until Wednesday...I managed to get some instant shooting in on the Friday! And having ten sheets of Type 72 (the unopened box of Type 55 is being used this summer) I went out and got five shots, not bad for ten year expired instant film, but one fogged on the one side I learned, you have to make sure your 545 back is nice and snug when shooting it with an Intrepid camera.

So, with the theme this week being "spice" my mind immediately went to the movie Dune. Now, how could I incorporate a mound of spice into a shot? Well, it's labor day weekend and I'll be BBQ'ing on the Traeger (wood pellet smoker) so why not use the dry spice rub that I'll use on my brisket for the shot? Why not, indeed. 2 of my favorite things. Slow smoke BBQ'ing and photography in the same place at the same time! And, the inner geek spoke to me and told me to use a quote from Dune just to add a bit of levity to a shot involving raw meat. I kept it simple with one 500 watt bulb camera right to create some shadows. With a bulb on the other side I lost the contrast in the spice mix and it looked too flat. Happy Labor day all!
Deer in the headlights much?
I work at 9 tomorrow morning, so I don't have much time to write a description right now. This week has been nuts; three midterms and never ending group projects are brutal.
Currently watching I Love You, Man, and an iPhone keeps ringing in the movie and I keep thinking it's mine. ACK!! OK SLEEP NOW.
La Roux - I'm Not Your Toy
When Finn was a puppy we watched a lot of The Dog Whisperer. A lot. One of the things that really stayed with me ]\was that my emotions flow down the leash. If I'm not confident that Finn will behave, then he will probably meet those expectations. If I tense every time we see a dog on the greenway, Finn will veer straight across to say hi (obnoxiously). If I am relaxed and confident, then he obeys me. If I look down at him with love and pride, he is much more likely to listen.
It goes down the leash. We say this to each other all the time. When I'm feeling worried or stressed about something and Olive is fussy, Ryan mutters the phrase. If he rushes bedtime because he's late to meet someone, I remind him of the mantra.
Well, it went down the leash this week. Ryan and I were both busy with work and we recently lost our twice weekly sitter (still miss you, Ms. Carly!) making things even more of a logistical puzzle. I worked the moments when I wasn't with Olive which meant that the house didn't get cleaned and the laundry didn't get put away. Ryan was working after Olive was asleep, which meant he was exhausted.
By mid-week, Olive was fussy and clingy but by Friday she was completely out of sorts. I was feeling overwhelmed and I'm sure that it was traveling straight down the leash to her. The weekend was beautiful but there was little time to enjoy it. On Sunday, the day before I flew out of town for three days, we decided to put responsibilities on hold and take Olive out for waffles.
There were no tables open at our waffle place so we sat outside. I got Finn out of the car so he could join us. It was sunny but a little chilly with the wind. I put Olive in her high chair and pushed her closer to the table – and crushed her fingers between the chair and the wrought iron table. She cried and cried and she had a little red line across her knuckles later that night.
We ate breakfast and let Olive run in the big grassy quad in front of the restaurant. I gave her distance, as I always do, letting her explore to her heart's content. I watched proudly as she turned around and got down on her knees to take the step from the curb to the road. I watched as she steadied herself with her little hand and then I heard her scream out in pain and I saw dozens of fire ants swarming all over her milky white skin.
Seven bites.
Her chubby little, perfect hand. I wanted to sit in that grass and cry right along with her but I couldn't because I was worried about allergic reactions. I have amazing, brilliant friends who told me just what to do and what to look for. I recalled how painful it was to get bit by fire ants and I felt so sad that she was now feeling that pain.
That night I was feeling guilty about what an awful day Olive had. And I was feeling sad for myself that we had such a horrible day when I had to go on a trip the next day and wouldn't have a chance to make it up to her. Of course she slept poorly. Of course she couldn't settle down and kept crying out and….
It goes down the leash.
Week 25/52 ~ "Water"
So this week I am finally home from a whirlwind trip. Well, home for two weeks and then we are off again. But it is great being able to relax and try something new. And you can bet there will be some Hammock time in the backyard this weekend.
So this week got inspired to try something totally different. I started following a photographer by the name of Joel Robison. Don't know if you all have heard of him (I never had). But I kind of liked what I saw.
This is my interpretation of an inspired image I saw. Doesn;t even remotely come close, but it was certainly fun putting together. Tripod and a few paper boats....Viola!!!
Happy Weekend to ALL!!!
BIG Huge HUGS....

I took a walk around the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool, the worlds 5th largest, looking for shots for this week. I had thought the sheer amount of open space would provide perfect framing opportunities, but in the end I just found it overwhelming.
My shot came from a row of lights in a gallery above the smaller Lady Chapel at the back of the building. The contrast between lit and unlit walls provides good framing even though the subject is in the centre of the image.
Week: 38
Circumference: 43"
Belly Button: Looks like its pouting. Maybe it is.
Enjoying: Enough energy for a day-long improv class. Making some progress at 1.5cm dilation.
Feeling: Some signs of labor. The baby definitely dropped. I don't know why they call it lightening since it feels very heavy. I feel like the inside of my tailbone is bruised.
Movement: She's been squirmy. Especially at night. A little less so today but still in the "things are OK" range.
Sleep: A lot harder to come by this week. Either my brain is racing, I'm uncomfortable or a Braxton-Hicks contraction wakes me up. One dead-to the world sleep last night since the contractions let up for about a day.
Food: Pretty much standard eating habits. Got some fruit popsicles which have been tasting very good. Been craving chocolate pudding. But that is completely normal for me.
Anticipating: The end of the waiting. I've been tying up as many loose ends at work as possible.
On Thursday night we finally finished our taxes. I hatched a plan: get the kids down, head to the main post office downtown to mail the taxes, and then swing by the waterfront to get a photo for the “bench” theme this week.
While I was packing gear, my older son Sam asked me for about the 10th time whether he could stay up late and “count stars.” As the days are lengthening and bedtimes are unchanged, the previous nine answers have been “another day.” Since I was going out anyway, and it was clear night (a rarity this time of year in Oregon) I told him he could come with me to the waterfront and we could count some stars there.
Well, these days my younger son Jim wants to do everything Sam does. In fact, very little happens that is not done as a family unit. Next thing I know all four of us are in the car.
In the end, we all had a lot of fun. Taxes got mailed. Stars were counted. Pictures were taken. I felt a little guilty about keeping the younger set out well past bedtime, but by the time we got home we had two sleepers, both much the happier for our adventure.
Finally, there is no question that this type of shot is at least partially inspired by Dustin Diaz. If you have somehow managed to not see his work, check it out here. It's awesome.
Honest critiques always welcome.

The Granada's castle for the Painting-a-week group.
It's a very fast drawing(30 min. Sorry Sandy, i just wanted to post ;))with no reference :S
The tower is called "La torre de la vela" and hides a really nice tale that i will tell u soon ;)
It's amazing to see the sunset when the lights are on and giving that special light from within the wood (it happens for about 9:30 p.m. on summer)
