Construction, Week 38
Here's that promised shot of the store construction as seen earlier this afternoon, from an angle seen many other afternoons, most recently three weeks ago. Again, the only visible progress appears to be over at the pharmacy drive-thru frame-up. Maybe it's a good thing I'm taking a couple weeks off from new pictures in this regard...

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Theme of The Week - Family Heirloom
My Dad's Grandfather was a farmer. He made little cabins in the winter when there was nothing else to do. We have 3 of the cabins, a tobacco barn, and a wheat field.
Great-Grandpa said one of his cabins was in the Missouri History Museum... that may or may not be true.
Finally got round to sorting out my last photos from for my photo a week project last year! Had some issues with broken computer and receiving a new camera so got a bit behind.
You can check out the full set here - Project52. This was a lot less stressful than the "photo a day" project a few years ago!

52 Weeks for Dogs Group Challenge -- Photo Bomb
Po does think that every photo should include her. And where are the cookies anyway?
A link to a few more shots of her photobombing mugging for the camera:
this week's assignment was all about finding unique vessels for flowers...capturing the last of the lilacs and the first of the lavender

My husband loves to buy hats when we travel and this is a very small portion of his collection. He has been known to buy 6-8 different ones in the same location because he can't choose between them!
I found this collection quite difficult to photograph, I had 50 of them laid out on the table but resorted to capturing just a few to try and make it interesting.
Almost 39 weeks now.
We went to our first ante-natal class about a month ago and never came back.. I was okay with it but Niki was appalled by the matter of fact approach and how we were constantly reminded of pain and tearing and all the things that can go wrong… We felt if things do go wrong, we will trust ourselves to doctors who are there to give us the best treatment. We certainly do not want to be shocked into it.
So, we took up an alternative approach called Calmbirth. In the US, I believe it is called Hypnobirth. I came into the class expecting Niki to be hypnotised into a pain-free birth. However, the classes were very educational in explaining how the body behaves through labour and how the mother can calmly do controlled breathing to managed the discomfort (note: the word pain should never be used, when you are asked how painful, you will focus on the pain..).
Well, we’ll see how this approach goes soon I guess. For Niki, this is a more acceptable approach to labour and I believe a more encouraging one.
As for me:
I have been in hibernation for a little while now and obviously have not done much photography. The last several months of change - moving cities, changing jobs and preparing our household for a new member.. preparing to be a family for the first time.. Well, I hope you can understand photography is slipping to the side for a bit. I hope to rectify that now we've settled down in our little town on the border of Melbourne - this is quite a beautiful place and there are so many opportunity for beautiful photography here. Plus.. there's going to be plenty of baby photos coming up.. Still, I may squeeze in the odd artistic nude photography when I get the time to.
Going to do my best to do a 52 weeks of Cooper. Just to see how much he grows and changes over his first year!
Haven't decided if it will be the same overhead shot or just a different shot each week.. thoughts?
let the adventure begin!
okay, the title has nothing to do with the picture, but i couldn't stop singing, "they call me mellow yellow..." as i was editing it. lol!!
it has been a busy couple of weeks, a busy summer really, and the dogs and i were long over-due for a quiet evening at home... just relishing in that magical time when the sun starts to go down and the slightest breeze picks up and the day is finally bearable for a few minutes. i liked how the sun was hitting these trees across the road and making everything glow in fall colors. something caught june's eye and she stood here for quite a long time, just watching.
Fruit Bowl
I decided to see what choosing a different colour would look like. think it would have worked better if i had spread out the colours more to give a better cover of colour across each image.
This is my first week in a project 52 that is completely based on my selfish needs and desires as a human and photographer. The topics are simple and easy. Rather than shoot my kids or some pretty model that is supposed to reflect my 'soul,' I chose to photograph myself.
Here I am selling my soul to the internet. Here I am doing what I do every single day of my life. Rather than go out and do something real, I spend my days seeking approval and contentment from a glowing computer screen. My soul is digital and it drives me insane.

Looking down the Charles River toward the Weeks Bridge. It connects Harvard's Cambridge side (left) to its Boston side (right) and is only for pedestrians. Dunster House (red dome) and Peabody Terrace are Harvard residences.
Well, Ralph has beem getting tired of the 52 weeks project so he thought he'd pass on the reigns to his shadow since he is the only dog in the house. Unfortunately he's kind of attached to his shadow and his shadow refused to go it alone, So Ralph will be back next year closely shadowed by his protege.
finally getting around to uploading last weeks pic

Everest Basecamp – mount everest, who does not know this mountain. The highest mountain in the world with a height of 8.848 meters (29,028 ft). who always wanted conguered mountain climbers climbers reliable. This mountain is deadly for novice climbers, so for those of you who are still a beginner, do not try to try to conguered this mountain. not necessarily because of his conguered climbers can reliably especially novice climbers.
The following is the Everest base camp
At Everest Base Camp, climbers will Often spend 4-8 weeks, acclimatizing to the altitude. During that time, the “Icefall Doctors” will set up ropes and ladders in the notoriously unstable Khumbu Icefall. Seracs, crevasses and shifting blocks of ice of make the icefall one of the most dangerous sections of the route. Many climbers and Sherpas have been killed in this section. To reduce the risk, climbers will usually begin Reviews their ascent well before sunrise when the freezing Temperatures glue ice blocks in place.Camp I
Above the icefall is Camp I at 6.065 m (19,900 ft) Camp 1 is mostly a temporary camp with most climbers just spending one night at this camp.Camp II
Base Camp II, Advanced Base Camp (ABC) is established at 6,400 m (21,300 ft). The Western Cwm is a are relatively flat, Gently rising glacial valley, marked by huge lateral crevasses in the center roomates Prevent direct access to the Upper Reaches of the Cwm. Climbers are forced to cross on the far right near the base of Nuptse to a small passageway known as the “Nuptse corner”. The Western Cwm as the topography of the area geneally cuts off wind from the climbing route. The high altitude and a clear, windless day can the make the Western Cwm unbearably hot for climbers.Camp III
From ABC, climbers ascend the Lhotse face on set of ropes up to Camp III, on small ledges situated at Approximately 7,200 m to 7,400 m. From there, it is another 500 meters to Camp IV on the South Col at 7.920 m (26,000 ft). From Camp III to Camp IV, mountaineers are faced with two additional obstacles: The “Geneva Spur” and the “Yellow Band”. The Geneva Spur is an anvil shaped rib of black rock named by a 1952 Swiss expedition. Fixed ropes help climbers in scrambling over this snow covered rock band. The Yellow Band is a section of sedimentary sandstone. The route from the base of the Lhotse face to the Summit is almost always completely fixed with static line.Camp IV
On the South Col, climbers are very close to 8,000 m and can only spend limited time at those altitudes even with supplemental oxygen. Climbers typically only have a maximum of two or three days they can tolerate at this altitude for making peak bids. Clear weather and low winds are important factors when Deciding on a summit attempt. If weather does not cooperate within Reviews These short few days, climbers are forced to move down, many all the way back down to Base Camp.
From Camp IV, mountaineers Reviews their summit push will start from 8 pm to 2 am with the hope of reaching the summit (still another 1,000 meters above) within 10 to 12 hours. Climbers will first reach “The Balcony” at 8,400 m (27,700 ft), a small platform where they can rest and gaze at peaks to the south and east in the early dawn light. Continuing up the ridge, climbers are then faced with a series of impressive rock steps the which usually forces them to the east into waist deep snow, a large amount of sudden grave hazard. At 8,750 m (28,700 ft), a small table-sized arena of ice and snow marks the South Summit.
From the South Peak, mountaineers go after the knife-edge along the Southeast Ridge the which is known as the “Cornice traverse” where snow griping to irregular rock. This is the most bare part of the climb as a misstep to the left would send one 2,400 m (8,000 ft) down the southwest face while to the immediate right is the 3,050 m (10,000 ft) Kangshung face. At the end of this traverse is an imposing 12 m (40 ft) rock wall called the “Hillary Step” at 8.760 m (28.750 ft).
Tenzing and Hillary were the first mountaineers to rise this step and they did it with prehistoric ice climbing equipment and without fixed ropes. Now, climbers will ascend this step using fixed ropes Previously set up by Sherpas. Once above the step, it is a comparatively easy climb to the top on fairly angled snow slopes – though the exposure on the ridge is extreme especially while traversing very large cornices of snow. After the Hillary Step, climbers must traverse Also a very loose and rocky section that has a very large entanglement of fixed ropes that can be troublesome in bad weather. Climbers will typically spend less than a half-hour on “top of the world” as they Realize the need to descend to Camp IV before darkness sets in, afternoon weather Becomes a serious problem, or supplemental oxygen tanks run out.
That Everest base camp you will visit when you are mountain climbing Everest. if you are big enough guts, you should climb this mountain. but if you are in doubt it is better not try to climb this mountain.

**SOOC = Straight Out OF Camera**
Day 6 of sooc week and I decided to grab the camera and take random shots. Here is what I came up with. 1 more day to go until I can get back to my sweet sweet Photoshop.
For those of you who want the backstory about sooc week...
I am a graphic designer and I have to say I am extremely obsessed with processing my photos. This week series is me trying to not to use any photo editing not even cropping. I must say already waiting 10 minutes for uncropped/unoptimize photos to load is already annoying LOL.
Happy Monday! Week 2, year 2 of my bullet journal and lots of lovely new pens and tape for Christmas to help keep up momentum. Samuel is ill again unfortunately, so we're now on day 3 of being confined to the house. Even with the wind and rain lashing the windows, cabin fever is definitely threatening.
52 weeks of 2017, week 40 Collodian effect.
I fiddled with several effects and then applied GIMP grainy filter, info in comments.
This week let’s have some retro fun! The theme for the week is the “Collodian Effect”, a retro look back in the day of wet plate photography. Well, in the day, it wasn’t retro, it was the face of photography. Today we can get picture perfect images and “develop” them with software. We can tweak them to have whatever look we want. Looking back at the photographers of yesteryear (and the poor perfectly still models), we can appreciate how lucky we are. Using the magic of software and your personal creativity, produce an image that looks as if it was taken and developed back in the day of wet plate processing.
