These wounded fingers belongs to a middle age lady at Chiang Rai wet market. Her wounded fingers are caused by the nonstop making of the floral shape pandan leaves.
Pandan leaves are commonly used in Thai cooking because of its nice fragrance, whereas in this case, the leaves in floral shape are for display in the house in order to get rid off the odour smell.
Early 20th-century anonymous caricature of Freud. I'm fairly sure it's in the public domain.

I did not notice that this leopard was wounded on her side until I started to post-process this photo. She appears to have a gash on her side to the right of her shoulder.
Anyway, I brought three lenses to Africa -- the 180-600mm, the 70-180mm and the 24-120mm zooms. The vast majority of my photos (about 85%) were taken with the 180-600mm lens. For the most part I am happy with the way the photos turned out and I am very happy with the 180-600mm lens, especially the fact that it has an internal zoom. I believe it should have been very troublesome to take care of an external zooming lens in the dusty conditions of arid Africa. The one complain I have about this lens is that when the background is very busy and close to the subject (as in this photo), the lens shows its shortcomings. In my opinion, the photo looks somewhat unnatural in the way the lens handles the subject and the background isolation. But then, what do you expect from a $2,000 lens with this focal range.

Now, the world can be an unfair place at times
But your lows will have their complement of highs
And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you
Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride
Explored November 3 - #136 when I saw it.
Thank you all so much for your support :-)

Ah, the music of the spheres, the old Jew quipped,
plowing his walker down the pawnshop counter.
Whatever, I nod, and cradle
the beautifully scarred mandolin in my open palms -
rutted ebony fingerboard,
caramel-grained face of rusty spruce,
two strings missing, bridge cracked.
Torture, I thought, teaching myself
to play this thing,
then pondered all the other agonies
it must have endured -
the lovers wooed and lost, the bottles dodged
in barroom discourses,
loneliness of widowers on their porches at night,
their hard music rising in starlight.

Like old bones, my beloved mandolin has succumbed to fluctuating
temperatures and the rigors of time.
Its last owner had kept it stowed in a cupboard for decades, long
after her Italian lover's spirit had returned to Napoli. In due course
she was able to relinquish this physical remnant of her past, and
so it seemed destined to become an important part of mine.
Old instruments are redolent with memories and experience.
Perhaps that is why they sing so hauntingly.

This is a recent image in my "Remnants of Past" series, which is pre-occupied with recreating childhood dreams and memories with my daughter as my muse.
I am desperately trying to finish this series because if I do, I will probably have a solo show at a local gallery. I just don't feel "done" yet (maybe I will never truly be done?) and I am not in a big hurry. Well, it just can't be rushed.
I purchased the dress for very cheap on eBay -- I think it is a flower girl dress. I had it in my closet for years since it was so big, but it finally fits! And I found the cool feathers at a craft shop in NYC.

A bit of an impromptu shoot, Thomas and I came across a burnt down forest, which was rather spectacular. I've uploaded some 'behind the scenes' pictures onto my facebook page, so join me there if you wish! :)

I hadn't noticed, quite a few years ago, when this shot was taken, that this Australian Fur Seal has a good reason to be a bit snappy. It appears to have a number of wounds on its neck and shoulder. My first thought was "shark", but the cuts seem to be equally spaced out, so I suppose a boat propeller could be to blame.
