Will you ride after reading this? Was only able to read this after :P But i will surely ride again. :)
Why am I so afraid to crash down and lose my heart again? I don't know, I can't see, what's come over me
Maurizio Cattelan
Not Afraid of Love
Avec ”All” au Guggenheim en 2011, on pensait que « tout » avait été dit. Comme souvent avec Maurizio Cattelan, nous étions sur une fausse piste…
Ce qui devait être le salut final d’une carrière éblouissante, faite d’œuvres qui ont marqué l’époque, de scandales, de profondeur, de fracas et d’humour, n’était qu’une (ir)révérence de plus.
Cinq ans plus tard, Cattelan revient au travail. Il a choisi la Monnaie de Paris pour son exposition la plus importante en Europe, et la plus importante depuis sa rétrospective New-Yorkaise. Cette exposition à la Monnaie de Paris, sous le commissariat de Chiara Parisi, est une exposition qui sera profondément « habitée » par Cattelan. Un choix d’œuvres, dont l'image reste pour toujours accrochée à la rétine, seront exposées dans les salons XVIIIème siècle de la Monnaie de Paris.
Irrévérencieux, génial, facétieux, drôle, grave, provocateur, cynique, potache, Maurizio Cattelan n’est jamais là où on l’attend. Les visages de Cattelan sont autant d’uppercuts qui nous laissent KO.
Et c’est là son paradoxe ultime, sa capacité géniale à transformer une fuite en pirouette sublime : Cattelan n’aura jamais été aussi présent dans une exposition, et pourtant chacune de ses œuvres hurle son absence.
L’effigie de Cattelan, l’art de la mise en scène, sera le cœur battant de l’exposition à la Monnaie de Paris.
Un début de réponse à son interrogation aussi pince-sans-rire que métaphysique « y-a-t-il une vie avant la mort ? ».
Recently I found myself released. It’s an unusual feeling, one that I had not truly known because I hadn’t realised how bound I had become.
The euphoria is amazing and fills the body with adrenaline.
After some time, the high ebs, like the tide on a beach.
There then remains a space to ask questions and wait for the answers to show their face.
I was afraid, which is why I became bound. If I am to become totally released, then what is it that I am afraid of?
I am afraid of love. Love, beautiful life creating, romantic committed love. I’d prefer to live life without it, being fulfilled with the love that I have from family and friends…..however, hope always creeps in xx

Are you afraid of heights ? Mt. Whistler Blackomb's peak to peak gondola, Vancouver, Canada
Press "L" or click on the image to view large
Taken during my recent trip to beautiful Vancouver. On left the BC place stadium.
This was one of daring journies, I must say , riding over the worlds highest gondola.
About Mt. Whistler’s gondola :
If you're afraid of heights, forget about riding the new Peak to Peak Gondola at British Columbia's Whistler Blackcomb ski resort. Passenger cabins hang as high as 1427 ft. (higher than four-and-a-half Statues of Liberty) and travel nearly 2 miles without passing a single support tower. It's the longest unsupported span of any lift of its type. Construction of the $52 million gondola began in 2007 with its steel towers. This year, five monstrous spools of cable were shipped from a Swiss factory, through the Panama Canal, and up to Washington state. A train then took them to Whistler, where they were loaded onto a 48-wheel trailer that was pushed and pulled by haul trucks up a winding gravel road at an average speed of 1 mph. It took three months, and the help of helicopters, to string the cables across the valley. The gondola, which opens in December, will allow visitors to the largest ski resort in North America to move quickly between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, and ski both, without having to descend to the base area. The Peak to Peak should get plenty of use: The resort will host the alpine skiing events at the 2010 Winter Olympics, which will be based in nearby Vancouver.
1. Drive System
A 2400-hp drive terminal on Whistler Mountain powers the gondola. Under normal operations, it runs at about 900 hp--the extra capacity is required for startup. The drive's two AC motors spin a 15-ft. bull wheel, which serves to move the haul rope--the cable that pulls the passenger cabins along stationary track ropes. A hydraulic-mounted bull wheel at the return station on Blackcomb keeps proper tension on the haul rope.
2. Towers
The cables are sup-ported by four galvanized steel towers (two on each mountain) that were raised in sections by a boom crane and bolted together by a team of Swiss climbers. The highest tower tops out at 213 ft. Combined, they weigh 441 tons and sit atop 141,000 cu. ft. of concrete poured into foundations.
3. Sky Cabins
The gondola's 28 sky cabins travel at 17 mph, clearing the 2.7-mile gap in 11 minutes. Each holds 28 passengers, allowing the system to carry 4100 people per hour. Two cabins have glass floors, giving thrill seekers a view of the valley below. When a cabin reaches a station, it detaches from the haul rope and slows as spinning pneumatic tires carry it through the terminal on a guide rail, allowing passengers to exit and board. It then accelerates to the speed of the haul rope, at which point it reconnects and whisks off over the void.
4. Rescue Vehicles
In the event of a power failure, a 270-hp diesel-powered backup drive can send four rescue vehicles out on the track ropes to retrieve stranded cabins. "If all else fails, we can get people out of that big span," says Warren Sparks, the general manager of Doppelmayr CTEC Ltd., the lift's manufacturer. Each rescue vehicle has an arm that can latch onto a cabin and pull it back to a tower, where passengers are lowered by rope and harness from heights that can surpass 200 ft.
5. Early-Warning System
To avoid catastrophes (such as when a jet severed a gondola cable in Italy in 1998), the Peak to Peak has an early-warning system known as OCAS, or Obstacle Collision Avoidance System. OCAS uses radar to track nearby aircraft. If it detects a threat, flashing lights are activated on the towers and an audible warning is broadcast on all aircraft radio frequencies. "The typical red balls you see on electrical wires are less effective for high-speed airplanes," Sparks says.
Enjoy the moment !!!!

I would highly appreciate, if constructive criticisms are given for improvement.
I decided to try something a little different in my editing style to make my photos a little more dark and mysterious. This one is just practice but I love the result! :)
sometimes it´s hard to take steps ..especially when you don´t know where they might lead to..
a woman once taught me..if you know you have to do something and you are afraid to do it.. "do it afraid"..it´s better to embrace the victory then never experiencing it..fear must not control us..we must master it..
In my painting class today I happened to notice this broken glass/bottle in the sink. No one acknowledged it, no one touched it, and all I could think about was photographing it. I had to wait til after class because I didn't have my camera on hand but I find it very beautiful. So fragile.

I am not afraid to live each moment fully with everything I have to give
I am not afraid to do everything it takes to truly live
I am not afraid to be honest and be vulnerable
I am not afraid to be seen and heard yet remain humble

There are a lot of things in life that can land you squarely in the closet, or finding yourself afraid to share at least a part, if not all, of yourself. And in the closet is where I now find myself. Aside from the gay kind of “in the closet,” “Fertility” is the other real biggie. Fertility issues (the inability to conceive, the need for IUIs, IVF, recurrent miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, MFI, “women troubles,” hormonal problems, physical problems, etc, etc, etc) are some of the hardest to talk about. Partly because no one really wants to hear about that (just because I haven’t had a friend that didn’t over-share in the sex department doesn’t mean I really want to hear all about the wedge pillow you just got), and partly because everyone has an opinion on the subject. No one wants to hear crap like “it wasn’t meant to be” or “at least you know you can get pregnant!” after a miscarriage or an ectopic. No one wants to have anything to do with infertility – I can’t even imagine what it’s like to try for years on end (though the next doc I hear say “at least you know you can get pregnant” gets an ultrasound wand up HIS vajayjay) (yep, I said vajayjay).
I am now, after a “chemical pregnancy” (shitty euphemism for an early miscarriage) and an ectopic pregnancy in the space of 3 months (4 if you count to the end of treatment for the ectopic) on top of a lot of wackadoodle cycles after stopping the pill when we weren’t yet “trying,” officially in the Fertility Closet. Aside from our families (by that I mean parents and Chris’ sister), I’ve told one friend of ours that we’re actively trying, and that it hasn’t been all that much fun. That was when I thought this last one was just another chemical, boy did I underestimate that one (and HOW).
It’s not that I’m ashamed. Even though it means I get to greet every future positive pregnancy test as something that could kill me (no more peeing on a stick, then running into the other room yelling “we’re gonna have a baby!” for us – side note, I fucking HATE that commercial), I actually felt relieved that the last one was an ectopic – at the very least it cut out some of the guilt because there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. Doesn’t take care of the sadness, or sense of loss and being downright cheated, but it does cut out a good chunk of the guilt. Not all the hopes and prayers and “please be a baby and in the right place”s could have prevented it. Really, I just don’t like sharing things about myself, I don’t like being the center of attention, and I don’t like people trying to talk to me about my problems or make me feel better.
And besides, no one seems to think my sense of humor is… acceptable in this case. Things like “Next time, I need to tell them that any change they find up there is mine” about the ultrasounds falls on deaf ears. Chris won’t even let me tell them that I’m letting him take the next ultrasound for me (I get the feeling the reaction would be priceless). And that’s the tamest thing I’ve thought in quite a while.
So anyway. Here I am. Gently coaxing myself out of the closet with a picture on a photo site. This may take a while.

afraid to come out in the sunlight where they'll be carried off and tortured by having grotesque faces cut into them.
... creeping out of the basement fireplace to get Kim Darby and make her ONE OF THEM!
1973's "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" was always one of those "did you ever see... can't remember the name... scared the crap out of me when I was a kid" made-for-TV movies.
I was afraid it would start to rain from one moment to another, but the later the day the brighter and friendlier it became.
This classic Boeing 747-300 series started its career as JA8166 with Japan Airlines, and has had its first flight on 17 Jan 1985.
It was then sold to Orient Thai Airlines, and delivered to the airline on 18 Sep 2009.
Ever since it is a frequent and very welcome visitor to Hong Kong.
