Week 1 Selfportrait
Not everyone likes to look in the mirror, some people rather look away...
if life gets in the way of your plans,
forget about them and just live it.
that's what I did this week. I had fun, I was hardly ever at home and I enjoyed it.
I spent time with Nina and the other day we went shopping and then she came over again in the evening and I went to the open air pool with others and in the evening we made cocktails and I think I made new friends. this was a good week full of life and without paying attention to my to do list.
[may 24 - 30, 2010]
Golden Week (ゴールデンウィーク), also known as Ōgata renkyū (大型連休 ) or Ōgon shūkan (黄金週間), is a Japanese term applied to the period containing the following public holidays:
April 29 - Shōwa Day (昭和の日)
May 3 - Constitution Memorial Day (憲法記念日)
May 4 - Greenery Day (みどりの日)
May 5 - Children's Day (こどもの日)
In short the Country basically takes the whole week off to go someplace. We're no exception as we headed out in the RV to Chiba for a lot of fun in the sun!

Okay, so for this week I used a disposable camera to take pictures while I was working with inner city kids in Cincinnati. This isn't what you guys are probably used to from me, I am definitely not a journalistic photographer. Really I just spent my time enjoying myself and letting the kids have a good time. This collage is just intended to show my week. All of these were taken by me except for the two of me. I promise more photos this next week, because I'm actually in town.
well, i had planned to take my week 4 pic at the cabin but silly me forgot to pack my lens :( so yesterday me and slaine braved the weather and headed on to the moors for some windy pics ha :) my hair seems to go a bit mental in the wind, at one point i thought it was trying to kill me, wrapped round my face and i almost fell.....
had a very relaxing week off saw a cute runaway baby cow run past our cabin, luckily they mananged to get it back safe :)
my week off didnt stop the weird thoughts popping in my head ;)
topics of conversation were: do you ever see siamese twin snails?!, cavemen, dinosaurs, giving birth to eggs,and that owl that forced me to order takeaway..... erm theres probably a good reason why i own a strait jacket hehe :)
went to see my nanny on friday with my sister nem, had a good giggle :) although the hat i was wearing kept pushing down on my eyebrows, trying to make me frown.... dont worry, i fought against it ;)
the zip on my boot broke what the hell am i supposed to wear when they go in for repair?! :(

Spring is finally here and the whitewater rafting season has started!!
In summer time I work as a rafting guide as well and I had two trips to run this week, so I went to Hokkaido Outdoor Adventures (HOA) which is a rafting company I work for.
This company is located in the place called Hidaka where is surrounded by full of nature.
Right behind the company there is a river called Saru river and that is where I took this shot.
I love rivers and I don't get bored just looking at the water how it flows and especially this time of the day.
It was such great trips, the water was high and weather was the warmest for this year.
I can't wait for Summer!!!
I hope you also had a wicked week!
If you are interested....

We've seen many of these dragonflies when we went down to the small stream in my village. They are so beautiful.
I would like to read more this year. I love books and reading, but really didn't do much reading in 2015. I love History and have a lot of Non-Fiction history books and Historical Fiction books. I am going to start 2016 with David McCullough's The Wright Brothers.
This was one of my favorite outdoor plants this summer, a Swedish Ivy, that I've moved inside to enjoy now. :)

Sorry for the late Update, this will usually be up on Sundays but I wasn't near a computer this weekend. Now on to the news!
Ok the first story is that Ant-Man had a pretty good presence at Comic-Con, with the new director Peyton Reed and other cast members, including Paul Rudd playing Scott Lang, Michael Douglas playing Hank Pym, and now officially confirmed, Evangeline Lilly playing Hank’s daughter, Hope Van Dyne (probably going to be Wasp), and Corey Stoll playing Daren Cross aka… YELLOWJACKET! There was also some footage shown and it’ll probably get leaked soon, and when it does, I try to show it to you guys!
Our Next story is that Legendary Pictures has announced a new King Kong Movie called ‘Skull Island’ and teased that Mothra, Rodan, and King Gidorah could be in Godzilla 2. Could this mean we could get Godzilla vs. King Kong in our future since they are both owned by the same studio now?
The next story is that along with Ant-Man, Avengers: Age of Ultron had a strong presence at Comic Con, with a very entertaining panel, some footage, and even some props shown off on the floor like Black Widow’s motorcycle, Cap’s broken shield, a Hulkbuster hand, and even Ultron mk 1 suit. But I think the coolest thing was this mural of all the Avengers fighting off armies of Ultrons, even the Vision!
Our third story is the Warner Brothers Panel. We got our first look at the AMAZING Wonder Woman costume, and some footage for Batman v. Superman! Though I was rather disappointed with no Rock casting as Black Adam or Shazam, and no other DC films announced. Also, there was the Hobbit panel moderated by Stephen Colbert, which was very funny. There was also a new trailer that was amazing that you can watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSzeFFsKEt4 .
The third story is something that I already touched on and that is that a new Lego Batman set was announced with Green Lantern and Sinestro! I’m so glad they are including Sinestro and not another Batman villain like the Flash set.
This next story is like the Lego set where I kinda already talked about this is what the Thing will look like was leaked and you know, I like it, I like how real it looks!
Well that’s all for today so see you guys next Sunday for another This Week in The News! This is AntMan3000, signing off…

Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having FUN. By Brian Wilson
This was taken the last time I visited the Beach.. I had posted it as part of a little slide show so felt it was alright to repost for this week's word...
Tried some levitation this week! My second strobe has arrived so placed one outside the door and one behind me to subtely light my feet and jeans. The trick was achieved with the help of a chair and then taking another image without chair but with strobes still firing.
Strobist info:
One Yongnuo 560 outside at 1/4 turned sideways. One Canon 430EX II placed diagonal to feet at 1/32.
I was fortunate to be invited to play in one of the top golf courses in Canada, Hamilton Golf & Country Club, this week.
As spectacular as the course is, I was not able to capture its beauty under an overcast day until I reached this hole. The fairway was lit up momentarily by the gorgeous late afternoon sunlight. The long shadow and the cloud above framed the simple yet challenging green perfectly. Timing is everything.
