It's crazy what you can do with photos now. I put this sunset sky on a beach picture I took in bright and sunny weather.
I seem to always do this. I upload a photo for 52 weeks project and then I forget that there was one that I liked better. This one is better so I am going to change it...this is week ten.
Press L and I will love you forever!!!!
I wore this crownless hat for my wedding 44 years ago. It's been packed away in a cedar chest, I'm surprised it is still white.
this week: my employer kicked off a new game of redundancy roulette. my personal groundhog day. sigh.
Yay! The question finally answered! :)))
Know which day is best for your shop! I'll have a handy dandy little tool available for this soon! Special thanks to Sylvia Vincent for assistance and Excel wisdom! Actually, when I do put this up for sale, it will have to be called a collaboration. :D
These delicious pears are called Portuguese Pears in Brazil. Love them as much for their form and texture as for their taste.

This week subject: Hair.
Ricomincio a seguire i temi delle IGPine, dopo essermi fatta i cacchi miei tutta l'estate. :D
Niente di che, un' idea piuttosto semplice e banale. L' estate mi ha schiarito i capelli come al solito..ma settimana prossima mi aspetta il parrucchiere, quindi direi che mi dò una bella sistemata!
flickr sharpening is the devil. & another in comments.
this morning i rolled out of bed only to find that the light in the bathroom doorway was gorgeous.

Mastertons' Pouwhenua.
Pouwhenua or pou whenua (land post), are carved wooden posts used by Māori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are generally artistically and elaborately carved and can be found throughout New Zealand.
These controversial 20th century interpretations were installed at the northern and southern approaches to Masterton around 2015. The bill for pou came in at just under $92,000, or nearly three times the initial budget. Stage two of the project has never been started.
Better luck with my polaroid camera at the fruit and veggie stand this morning!
Missing the abundance of apples right now.
Ok so I missed last week's upload. Oops.. This whole 52 weeks project thing is weighing heavy on me. I've completely and totally lost all ability to plan out and take pictures. So because I'm not the type of person to give up, I decided to upload an old picture. There ya go!
Oh and I'm super sorry for not responding back to anyone. There just aren't enough hours in the day anymore.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
This statue of Neptune, by Joseph Rendall, was first erected in 1723. It was moved to its present location on the waterfront in 1949.

Well, I am finishing up a week of work in California. I tried to build in some time to go out with my camera, but the weather conspired against me for the most part: rain and marine layer. I was feeling a bit bummed. Luckily, I was able to spend some time with a friend at Filoli, and I hope I got some nice shots there.
This was taken back in November when we had a few nice evenings. I had to destaturate this a little as the pinks were a bit unreal.
Have a great weekend...and Happy Earth Day!
This is the St. Maurice River. It is within walking distance of my home and, because my home is on an escarpment, a permanent part of my landscape. Starting in my town and heading upriver there are 7 hydroelectric dams on her that end at Barrage Gouin. The St. Maurice was once a major route for floating logs south to mills that still dot her shoreline; altough the mills are becoming scarcer and scarcer.
The pano is created with 5 overlapped shots taken with my cheap, but fun, manual focus, 14mm rokinon. I then added a touch of processing to help with the sky I washed out by not thinking about my tendency to shoot in aperture, wide open; not the settings one wants for a landscape typically.

Explored!
Week 41/52
This shot has been a long time in the making. It was requested by a friend of mine, Mateus, when I first started this project. He wanted me to recreate this sculpture, by my life-long obsession Gian Lorenzo Bernini. I never found the right time to do it, but this week I felt this urge to take the shot. I was already buying the fabric when I realized that tomorrow is actually October 15 — Saint Teresa of Avila's day. So it's either a nice trick my brain did there or a coincidence, but a happy one.
Teresa of Avila is my favorite saint. She's the one I pray to every time things go wrong, she's the one I turn to when I'm sure I can't do this or that, or face a problem or a situation. She's the one whose words I look to, for guidance — so this homage was bound to happen sooner or later.
She was an unbelievably strong woman — the first to be named a Doctor of the Church. Practically alone, she reformed the Carmelites in Spain, turned an order that was loosing itself in the mundane world, into a place of prayer and contemplation. She fought hard for what she wanted, and never seized to work until the day that she died. Her writings (especially her words on her ectsasies) are inspiring to read.
Of course, there's something to be said about the fact that I am representing the angel as well as Saint Teresa in the shot — this came merely out of necessity. I didn't have time to get a kid (even my sister) to do it with me, so I had to do it myself. I understand that for someone who looks into a deeper meaning in this, it might come across as strange, when Teresa of Avila so deeply enjoyed talking about letting go of ourselves and giving our lives to others (and here I am, twice in one shot). But that was the only way the shot could happen, so it had to be this way. Just forget I'm the angel as well. :p
So there's not much more I can say about this shot, other than to leave you with some of my favorite words of hers.
"Be gentle to all, and stern with yourself."
"There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers."
"To have courage for whatever comes in life -- everything lies in that."

On a completely different topic, I've been thinking about reopening my Etsy shop. Do you guys think I should? I've been getting some requests for prints, and I'd sure like to make some money with my work. But at the same time… i don't know. Do you guys think I should?
[Note (January 2015): The window and the arrow were found during a google search. I'm not sure if they are protected by copyright — at the time when I did this, I wasn't completely aware of copyright policy and I did it innocently — but it doesn't take from the fact that I used stock imagery. I've tried back search and other ways of tracking, but I haven't come up with these photos. Either way, if someone knows the author of the window or of the arrow, and can direct me to them, I'll be really grateful. And to the authors of these photos: I sincerely apologize, and I hope that if you ever come across this photo and see your work, you let me know so that I can properly credit you, or take it down. Thank you.]

This week subject: Music (and cold tea).
A quanto pare se non ho proprio idee, faccio le foto a libri o simili. XD Sono monotona, si.
Questa settimana davvero disperata. Perdonatemi. Mi fa pena.
Perchè il tè? Con questi primi caldi soffro. Non c'è niente di meglio del tè freddo.
Quelle note non sono a caso. E' l'inizio di una canzone con cui mi sono particolarmente fissata in questi giorni. Ovvero questa qui sotto.
On air: Summertime Sadness - Lana del Rey.
