I went down a small ravine and explored a bit by going upstream(the water isn't too deep so I was able to walk in the water). And then, I saw this scene I was awestruck, so I took this photo. I didn't continue on since I didn't want to get too far(I only knew one way going down). The water is clean on this stream compared to others I have seen, It only has that slight smell of leaves, which I think is natural.
A bonus outtake in my Facebook to see the silly stuff I did there. :)
Years ago, I knew a photographer who told me of the hours he'd spend erasing power lines from an image. All I could think was: "Must be a hard life hating reality so much." It's been a long time since I learned to lean into what's ugly, revel in the beauty found there. It's a ragged business of ordinary life lingering, here at the corner of Greenfield and Gaspereau River Road. This many-branded XTR station – preferred supplier of independent stations – has a compact Kwik-Way store inside, and a sign stating: "Gaspereau Gas & Convenience". It might seem sleepy at this exact moment, but at just past 5PM, evening traffic home from Wolfville and elsewhere makes this a popular stop. Lit by weak white lights, three-fourths shining, some dim bulbs on the building and no shelter for rain. My ears are filled from the nearby river that gives this valley, road, community, and gas station its name. Raging and slightly spilling over its banks, at the far end of another rainy day. Just a couple degrees about freezing, barely scraping by this side of blizzard weather.
It's a struggle to explain how attracted I feel to places like these on the edge of night. Just a couple aging pumps, gotta pay inside, maybe grab some mass-produced snack that's not expired. Go back on your way in a couple minutes, deeper down the shadows of South Mountain. Maybe you're heading to one of the many dead ends in Wallbrook, Robinson Corner, or Greenfield. Slipping off secretively into Black River Lake, or the lands of Lumsden Dam. Driving until the road runs out is always my favourite experience, and I've been all over those today. Watching out the window for what stares back through the trees, wondering which windows are watching me. A man parked his truck out of frame as a favour to me, and we waved to each other's shadowed faces we couldn't see across the way. Blank and anonymous friendliness – some days, it's all I want or need.

Been away awhile; Spent the better part of a week in New York City, former home while in graduate school, former being key... I love to visit - You are anonymous and you can be a fly on the wall and just watch, watch in amazement, at the gloriousness of life that is around you, surrounds you, envelopes you, sucks you in, sucks life out of you... oh wait, I digress. I love New York, a great place to visit and to take a lens to the street. It got the better of me and I now know I'm not a big city walking dude (at least on a permanent basis), but I do love going back.
This atop the Empire State Building - Kinda fun doing the touristy thing every once in a while :)

UPDATED:
picky & fussy once "assigned" me to take a picture of the Empire State Building in my own way - last summer while i was visiting there... she actually caught me on my way out, so i wasn't able to get the shot... but, this time around, i remembered the assignment and got the shot... i actually should have called that out originally in this post, but neglected...
in the meantime, check out her wonderful stream :)
Charles Correa is the architect of the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon. «The buildings are arranged in such a way to create a 125 m long pedestrian pathway leading diagonally across the site, towards the open seas. This pathway is ramped up so that when walking upwards one can only see the sky ahead. At the top of the ramp there are two stone monoliths, straight from the quarry. When one reaches the highest point, one sees a large body of water which apparently connects to the ocean beyond. In the centre of the water body, just below the surface, there is an oval shaped stainless steel object, slightly convex so that it reflects the blue sky and the passing clouds above; it could be anything - the back of a turtle, a tropical island, a treasure chest - all included in the mythic adventure that inspired the discoveries.» (excerpt from www.fchampalimaud.org/images/uploads/November_Newsletter.pdf)
A rakish tilt.
What does it mark?
One doesn't know.

Kylo Ren and the Joker meet at a encounter of the “Sociopaths Anonymous”.
I suppose we all agree they are both sociopaths lol :)
Kylo starts to complain about everything: about a girl from a desert planet who stole his Lightsaber, a general who does not appreciate his tactical genius etc, etc…
Joker is getting so bored he wishes he was in a cell inside Arkham Asylum instead of listening at this guy.
However, the Clown Prince of crime thinks as he conceals his pistol, there is a way to make things funnier.
If they could find a way to kill each other lol the universe will be a better place for sure lol :)
Kylo figure is the Star Wars Black Series one and Joker is from Bandai “Figuarts” line and its articulations are impressive for a figure of this size :) He is the version from Injustice video game/comics.
I wanted to use a static pose here but the figure is capable of very dynamic poses :)
I hope you like this photo :)
I wanted to create some contrast between the illuminated figures and the dark area around them to create a feeling suited for the two evil minds but I’m not I’m not completely satisfied with the results.
Your feedback and opinions are very appreciated and helpful :)

Em Theresa in my studio, experimenting with shadows from the Gobo to try and censor the image. Great shadows, nearly nailed the censoring!
