Theme of The Week - In the Style of Ray Metzger
Collar popped, in my basement, with light shining through the crack in a pizza box
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!
one from a few weeks back when davina came up for a visit.
this is such a lovely dress and it was really nice to give it another outing.
Went on a rock climbing trip to Nevada. AMAZING SCENERY. I woke up an hour before dawn so that I'd have time to find a spot to take photos. I ended up driving down a winding highway with epic landscapes and instead of stopping to shoot I kept wondering what I would find around the corner. Suddenly it was two hours later, and I had 20 minutes to just hurry up and get a photo before my friends left to climb without me.
XI Week 14 2-9/4/20
Ok lots of catching up in posting to do.... here's week 1 of 6 to get me up to date. Lockdown has got me even lazier with posting. But I've still been shooting a bit. More soon.
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.

[ 21 / 52 Weeks - 21 - 27 may ]
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.
Week 47 already. This year is coming to an end so fast! (I'm sure I felt that way last year as well) We finally managed to get outside while there was still some daylight left.
If you are not French, it’s likely you haven’t ever heard the word “Saintonge”, and have no clue what it means. If you are French, it’s probably the same thing. Unless, that is, you are a fan of Romanesque, in which case you know that Saintonge, that small region of France centered around the town of Saintes (hence the name), not far from the Atlantic Ocean, just North of Bordeaux... features the highest density of Romanesque churches of all the country!
I had never visited that area of France, and so in the middle of October 2021, I took that long overdue trip and stayed two weeks in Saintes, driving left and right daily to photograph all the most significant Romanesque churches... and unfortunately leaving out many others, as they are so thick on the ground!
Being by nature a human activity, even the best and purest of arts can, in time, overdo itself and teeter upon the brink of baroque, exaggeration and overabundance. Built around 1160, about ten years after its magnificent neighbor in Rétaud (which we have seen a few days ago), the Notre-Dame church in Rioux is largely regarded among specialists as having gone slightly over the top in terms of outside decoration.
I have seen the exact same thing with the enclos paroissiaux (“parish enclosures”) in Brittany: the desire to do better and grander than the neighbors, combined with the existence of generous financial means, often leads to an overdoing of things in which the spiritual appears to be drowned in a wave of refinement and superficiality.
This almost exaggerated decoration is often cited as one of the chief reasons why this church was only listed as a Historic Landmark in 1903, while its neighbor in Rétaud was listed in 1862. In the late 1950s, François Eygun, Director of Historic Antiquities, wrote: “This is no more the elegant richness, but the exaggeration of a quality pushed beyond the limits of the reasonable and into bad taste.”
We, visitors of the 21st century, may take a more lenient approach... or maybe it is our own taste that has been distorted over the years by lack of backbone, cheap and self-fulfilling enjoyment (read: selfies!) and reality TV... I will let my viewers decide.
Strangely enough, the façade is probably the most understated part of this church. The top part of the bell tower is from the 15th century, but all the rest shows a remarkable restraint, with only the Virgin in a mandorla and abstract motifs on the voussures around and over the main door.
Theme of The Week - Getting High
Its been a rough couple weeks,
On March 24, one of my co-workers collapsed after finishing teaching his class. He never regained consciousness and passed away at the hospital.
On April 3, my friend Jeanine passed away from cancer. She started with cervical, then breast, then lymph, spinal fluid, and brain cancer. She was the strongest and bravest person I have ever known
A bit of a gray day this week when we were down at the beach so I made this kind of high contrast photo.
Della had a health concern this past week. I saw some blood on her back end after she went to the bathroom at the beach but no blood in her stool. When we got home as I was cleaning her up blood started pouring out from her backend. The trouble is she is so furry it was hard to tell where it was coming from. Of course it was after hours and the vet office where I work was closed. Fortunately I have a key and went down and got come clot it powder to stop the bleeding.
Della seemed fine through all this. The next morning I brought her to the office and we shaved all around her butt area. The doctors really couldn’t see anything the matter. So my husband took her for a walk, she seemed fine, had a normal stool and no blood anywhere He brought her back so the doctors could do a rectal exam.
My husband was holding her head and I was at the rear end with the doctor.
The doctor had just said it looks a little swollen by her anal gland and as he gently put some pressure from the outside of the area it exploded in his face and all over the wall. I suppose I shouldn’t have laughed but it was really funny and the doctor was laughing too. What wasn’t funny was the amount of blood coming out. He then did a rectal exam and said he didn’t feel any masses but the amount of blood was very unusual.
Della has never in all her life had an anal gland issue. She was not scooting or licking at herself. So the plan is antibiotics for a week and recheck her to see how things go. She is not eating as well as she used to so I am concerned the antibiotics are going to upset her stomach.
Keep your fingers crossed for my old girl. She was a real trooper through all the examining, shaving and washing.
It's been ages since I've posted here in flickr. I feel really disconnected from this place that has helped me grow as a photographer which is why I've decided to start up a 52 week project. I'm gonna try and post on here at least once a week.
Well a lot has happened since my last post. I guess I should go into it but I'm too lazy right now. I'll just explain later ;)
Until then.. HI FLICKR :D
Another year is ending tonight. And I still have no idea who I am. The only thing that changed is my perspective. Slowly I enjoy the search, the facets, the possibilities.

What did this year teach you? Did it change you? Did you change it?

Week 13 of #laurazalenga17weeks themed #selfportrait
the earth rattled and the floor shook. i fell down through a gaping crack into a never ending pit of nothingness. my eyes felt as though they were going blind. limbs, being stretched from all different directions. something thick, engulfing my lungs, suffocating me. a screaming, but not my own. i wasn't alone.
things have been strange lately. i've had a lot of weird dreams and i spend half of my time reading. i find it funny that my 18th birthday was on week 18 of this project.
Since all we've had for the last couple of weeks is drab and gray, all I got is drab and gray, This color version looks very similar to the B & W I played with.
Hope you all have a great Friday and yes the pup helped on this one.
Large of black is better
Better late than never, I have missed the first couple of weeks.
I took this photo in the hope the viewer would see the dreamy light that caught my eye.
I was running out of ideas for this week, as apart from a couple of spiders, there were no other crawlies around.
I saw this flock of crows settle on a half dead tree, whilst driving through Woburn deer park. With a little addition of a full moon, courtesy of PicMonkey, I have a creepy picture at least!
Year X Week 43 20-27/10/19
Just a couple more till I've caught up. This is from Vegas or the 9th island, depending on who you ask. Here are the gorgeous showgirls from one hotel or other, in front of another hotel being very welcoming. More soon.
I've been away from flickr much longer than I wanted to... it will take some time to catch up with all of your photostreams.
Another week found the Zephyr's equipment rotations bringing the 156 back to California. It's seen here, still paired up with AMTK 53, leading number 6 along San Pablo Bay at Pinole moments after 727 disappeared behind the bluffs.

great blue heron in their natural habitat =)
Dernier week-end de mai!!!Espérons que le soleil nous inondera de sa lumière et de sa chaleur! Enfin!!!Bisous tout le monde!
Background wise this is the first of my Tomato seedlings which are Sweet Million F1 (cherry tomatoes) I shot everything in the greenhouse which has a nice diffuse lighting due to the cloud and bubblewrap thats in there for insulation. Then it was a case of setting the camera up on tripod, setting the olympus 60mm lens on 1:1, putting it in manual focus, focussing on the leaves, taking the shot then taking a shot of the stem in focus too and then blending the 2 in photoshop. The G3 doesn't focus stack unlike my Olympus EM1.
