If you are a small rodent, you just might be in eyesight of this northern hawk owl in the woods of Gatineau.
Maybe is afraid of the little orange kitty of my daughter and her boyfriend.
This is the first time they are so close with each other. I know they will become friends , but for now: Maybe is still a "little bit" afraid.
Look at her eyes ...
afraid I've had a nasty strain of Pneumonia recently......more like a fever......keep falling asleep can't breath so well & disorientating ....just the job for Christmas
yep I missed Christmas & my birthday & don't remeber actually doing this image.....that was about 12 days ago & the last thing I did until coming round a couple of days ago & now getting over it but just so tired....3 weeks of being in & out of reality & not the nicest way to spend the Hols...
I do remember wishing it was Spring & the bulbs were out in the garden & now just glad to be here.....a scary trip indeed
A reminder of just how vulnerable we humans are & how close to to wind we sometimes sail without even knowing
Hope you have a Very Happy & Healthy New Year
I've been taking a lot of photos lately, Finally seeing a little change in my work... hopefully for the better.
The hummers are numerous, ravenous and pugnacious. This one interrupted a fight with another bird and stopped by for a drink even though I was standing just a few feet away.
This image will tell you two things about me. The first is that I am not really that afraid of death (though the thought of dying does give me pause). The second then being that me and siestas don't mix.
The story? It's a short one.
I made this image on Saturday during our Exposure Northwest workshop. We had gotten the group up at sometime well before 5 am to see sunrise at Steptoe and knew we were going to be out past 10 pm with sunset at Palouse Falls, so we decided to give them a break in the middle of the day in the form of a siesta. Many of the group headed off to their respective hotel rooms to get some sleep. I tried to for about an hour, but I just don't do the whole staying dormant thing very well when there are photos to be made. So I rounded up two from the class, Greg and Claudia, and we drove out to Palouse Falls a bit earlier than everyone else. I really wanted to do the hike down to the bottom as I had never been down there before. Instead, we only made it as far as Castle Rock and the lip of the falls, which was not surprising because being photographers we were constantly distracted along the way and took way too long. But we made some nice images so it was a fair trade.
It was pretty exhilarating to stand right up to the edge. There was one guy already camped out near here, but he was clinging to a rock and kept telling me I was crazy for scrambling around the way I was with my cameras. Don't worry, it really wasn't as crazy as it looks though.
For this image, I swung my center column out horizontal and over the lip of the cliff with my Holga pinhole attached and a cable release. I kind of had a fun time making sure the camera was composing how I wanted to since it was too far over the edge for me to look over the camera itself. Then I let it rip for about four seconds. Really was as simple as that. The trick was getting close enough to the edge. :-) But as Robert Capa once said, "If you're pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough". I am pretty sure he wasn't thinking about cliffs and waterfalls though.
When I feel most pretty in public, I also feel most afraid.
I don't practice my art for other people. Yet, other people influence the way I feel.
Many (most) are not very polite when asking....
"Why do you dress like that?"
On the surface this question seems to provide an opportunity for useful dialogue.
Perhaps they have genuine curiosity.
Yet, hostility is evident by the questioner's eyes.
"Here we go again." I sigh.
Hey......
Transgender people are not new. We have always been here.
Isn't it time for the world to acknowledge and accept differences that individuals do not control. It is NOT a choice.
Sheeesh - I need a better response.
What would you say?
Couple notes on this photo:
1) A hooded cape is very useful for concealing details of appearance (figure, gait, etc.) - yet its uniqueness draws immediate attention.
2) When out with friends, I'm much less fearful. You see, it is highly unlikely a stranger will defend me from public hostility. it has never happened. In fact, my experience is that a taunting mob might form. Sad. However in this situation, I was with Cristy Garcia, and for sure know - no one would dare cross us. Or else!

I replaced the original color photo I had uploaded because I favored B & W, but the color's back in comments.
At our recent airshow, they had an Air Force F-22 Raptor perform a demonstration.
I was in complete awe as this thing seemed to defy physics.
Truly an amazing plane!

Come take my hand, come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road.
WARNING, explicit lyrics, please don't listen if you are of a sensitive disposition, like a soft shield fern for instance.
I thought of this track, partly because it's one of my favourites
but also because of the dramatic, turbulent waters and the solitary person on the clifftop, just thinking.......

Afraid of all the things they do or the words that they say
Let's live the way we want to live and hope they go away
I really hope they go away
I really hope they find a nice place
I hope they find it somewhere
I hope they go away"

I just started this short proyect, this is the first one I do, so I wish it to came out well. it's named "7 days in the darkness" it'll be a semblance of my biggest fears.. being honest I don't stand the darkness, I always sleep with a light turned on, who knows what is stalking us in the darkness of the night.

I'm afraid I can't go anywhere and understandably like many others I'm stuck in a Covid rut at the moment so the most exciting thing I will be opening is the lid of the wheelie bin. It's even getting difficult selecting pictures for you as I keep thinking you've seen me in everything I own including my birthday suit. Well at least I try to spread them out if I can and also try not to keep putting the same one again. If you want me to stop just let me know.
