This is a long exposure taken on the beach at Ke'ei in South Kona last night.
I'm not sure I should even upload this, but hey, if I have to look at it, then so do you! LOL! As you can see the colors are very strange, and unlike some shots, I did not fiddle with the color at all in post -- this is as the camera saw it, other than some levels adjustments. Once again the GND filter somehow has exaggerated what at the time seemed like a very subtle sky color after sunset.
When I left the beach, I thought I might have some great shots, but once I looked at them on the computer, I just had to laugh!
I first came across this chap when I was taking money out of the Loyds TSB cash point on Saint Goerges road Kemptown and he said "have you got any money for drink and drugs sir?" I told him admired his honesty. "Sid the tramp" is what he calls him self not my words. He currently sleeps on the floor of a friends hall way so is not as homeless as he once was. The kids in the house where he sleeps take photos while he is asleep and have made a web site of the photos, unfortunately I can't find it! But he told me its some thing like sidthetramp.com with a bit of Yahoo in it so I suspect its on Yahoo's web space but i don't know how to find it.
I disgust even myself. Ugh. And no, I don't really look (or act) like this (as far as you know)
Maybe I should call these "Lessons in how to be unattractive"
"In my silver ship I sail
a dream that ended to soon
now I know exactly who I am,
and what I am here for
and I will go sailing no more
All the things I thought I'd be,
all the brave things I'd done
vanished like a snowflake,
with the rising of the Sun
never more to sail my ship,
where no man has gone before
and I will go sailing no more..."
"I will go sailing no more"

Even as the storm was coming in he continued with his fishing.
I was lucky as I broke into a run after taking this shot and managed to prevent my precious camera and equipment from getting drenched. Hope he managed some shelter too.

So today there I was minding my own business shooting 45 Fremont in downtown San Francisco when all of a sudden a Shorenstein Company employee security guard decides to give me the finger in my photographs of the building. Next thing you know I get the typical hassle. Except normally when the guards come out all polite like and all this guy instead comes out middle finger a blazing and telling me that I'm not allowed to photograph the building from the public space.
He goes on to tell me how he doesn't like to have his photograph taken, etc. (hint, if you don't like your photograph taken, probably best not to come swaggering out of a public building middle finger a blazin', remember any old asshole can have a blog these days). And insists on telling me how if I want to photograph the building I'm going to need to get approval from building management. blah, blah, blah.
Well, this guy got off on the wrong foot with me in the first place so I politely inform him that despite his objections that I'm on public property and as such have every right to photograph whatever I want and if he'd like he can feel free to call the police and the three of us can have a conversation. Of course he asks me why I need to be such an asshole and I remind him that he was the one giving me the bird, etc. etc. All I am is a lowly photography hobbyist but that since he was being so nice and all that he could look forward to his photo being on the internet.
He asks me if I *really* want him to call the police. Again, I answer nicely, yes.

Freshly caught- that was what they were. Sitangkai is in the basin of the Sulu Sea teeming with marine life. Being Muslim, the people of Tawi-Tawi rely on fish for protein. Beef is practically non-existent as the islands in Sitangkai are small. Goats and chicken are also few. But when you have a bounty of the sea right at your doorstep, you would not really miss terra firma meat.

I was on an open traditional temper boat when I took this shot. My subject of course was the sun-bleached cottonii seaweed being dried on the platform of this traditional house on stilts in Sibutu island. (This is an official business trip after all). The picturesque chance just presented itself: boards of attractive paint of teal over clear still waters at 8 early in the morning. The sun was not yet harsh and high so the reflections were long and lazy.

The farming of the seaweed cottonii, Eucheuma striatum, began in the Philippines in the 1960s under the auspices of the University of Hawaii, USAID and Marine Colloids, a US carrageenan firm. However, mariculture started seriously only in 1973 when a cultivar was discovered by a Sitangkai farmer called Tambalang. This variety was later recognized as a totally different species (and genus) and renamed Kappaphycus alvarezii var. tambalang in honor of Mr. Vicente Alvarez, a biologist of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources who became the first Manager of Marine Colloids and Mr. Tambalang, the true pioneers of cottonii cultivation.
Today, the Philippine still leads in the red seaweed farming and carrageenan manufacturing in the world.

One joins the Sinulog for several reasons: obligation, piety, community volunteerism, remuneration. But when you already are in the thick of it all, you soon realize that you are also there to have fun. These guys are seriously enjoying themselves and I applaud them for it.

Today is Valentine day 2006. Instead of roses, I select the love fishes to celebrate this day with Flickr member. This fish,in Japan, is called "Koi" which means Love. It's quite difficult to take photo of fast moving fishes with sunlight in shade. Photo is taken at Chok Chai farm house, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
To take this shot, I inclined more than half body over the pond and my friend just held my hand preventing me falling down to the pond. However, I dropped skylight filter into the water, but got it back later.
Which love fish do you like ?
ele quer mesmo é ficar atrás das nuvens, esse safado! =P
obrigado a todos MESMO pelos comentários, visitas e faves! =D
valeu mesmo! =)
My first language is Cebuano and I thought my vocabulary of the language is adequate. Was I wrong. Recently, in the Cebu Pool, we discussed the meaning of mabulokon, as in the traditional greeting Mabulokong Bag-ong Tuig for the new year. I argued that the word means meaningful. Later on, I learned mabulokon really means colorful. So to you all, Mabulokong Bag-ong Tuig! (And we have 5 hours more left here in New York- tick tock...)

Ramena beach is popular to both tourists and locals. Situated in just one of the 3 gigantic bays of Diego Suarez, the immaculate white sand coast of Ramena is among the numerous pristine beaches that enveigle the senses of sunlovers. For locals however, public buses are scarce except during Sunday when day beach trips become regular for those who want to partake of a piece of paradise. We took a taxi to this beach on a Sunday and with 20 kilometers of beach to choose, empty stretches are the rule and crowds are non-existent.
For the nearly 3 hours that we were there, I chose to skip taking a dip. I practiced with my Rebel camera as the lighting was perfect and the people could not be any more generous with their smiles- or in the case of this child leaning on her napping mother, her lazy stare.

Of the countless frolicking children competing for my attention, these two are just those whom you could not refuse. They may have little in life but are rich in energy and hope. Pure in spirit and boundless with charm, they appreciate their beach like no other.

eu já estava indo embora da barra da lagoa quando me deparei com essa bandeira ao vento nesse céu inacreditável.
pra mim, uma das melhores que tirei em floripa.
Chihiro sings and dances meow rock music, while Toji watches her on the first row!
Sing with her:
Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People, people
Throw your love around
Love me, love me
Take it into town
Happy, happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
(chorus)
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around, love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it, take it
There's no time to cry
Happy, happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
(repeat chorus)
Hey, here we go!
Shiny Happy People

It was Children's Day in Brazil. I went to a slum called "Morro do Macaco" ("Monkey's Mount", behind the boy on the photo), with the Hummingbirds leaders from CARF (Children at Risk Foundation), invited by Gregory (its founder).
Inside this slum there is an large orphanage, supported by its own founder, her family and some people from the community. The Hummingbird project was opening his wings there, to share love, knowledge, education, creating new possibilities for those children.

Era o Dia das crianças no Brasil. Fui à favela do Morro do Macaco (atrás do garoto nesta foto), acompanhada dos monitores do projeto Beija-Flor, da Fundação para Crianças em Risco, à convite do Gregory (seu fundador).
Dentro da favela existe um grande orfanato, mantido pela sua fundadora, família e algumas pessoas da comunidade. O Projeto Beija Flor abriu suas asas alí, unindo forças, para compartilhar amor, conhecimento, educação, criando novas possibilidades para as crianças.
Neste dia de mar e nevoeiro
É tão próximo o teu rosto
São os longos horizontes
Os ritmos soltos dos ventos
E aquelas aves
Que desde o princípio das estações
Fizeram ninhos e emigraram
Para que num dia inverso tu as visses
Aquelas aves que tinham
uma memória eterna do teu rosto
E voam sempre dentro do teu sonho
Como se o teu olhar as sustentasse
(Neste dia de Mar e Nevoeiro – Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen)
Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders
"Miami has the Dolphins,
The greatest football team!
We take the ball from goal to goal,
Like no one's ever seen!
We're in the air,
We're on the ground,
We're always in control.
So when you say Miami,
You're talking Super Bowl!
Cause we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1
Yes we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1."

This is for brighten up your day, J!
