" Hey, I´ll take a look behind the corner again, Sean. " He answered with a tired yes. It was my layer. But Sean couldn´t sleep, even if he was very tired. I walked these few meters to the corner of our provisional camp. We were on the way back to the headquarters, but then, the warthog got damaged by a horde of Grunts hiding behind a sand hill. They attacked us surprisingly in the night. So we are waiting for some help, at the moment. When I reached the corner of the little sand wall, I didn´t trusted my eyes. I thought we wree safe here. The headquarter´s boss said there weren´t any enemies close to us. But now, we have a huge problem...

This Goddess has her head in her hands. Who do I listen to?, she thinks. I've got a woman in front of me looking for answers, and my advisor to the right says one thing and the one on the left says another. Woe is me - whats a Goddess to do?
This picture may very well be better without the advisors or the woman. The original photo was looking up at a window curtain. No goddess, strange advisors, or woman wanting answers. But I like playing around, and this is the result.
New Year's Day is always an outdoor day for me. I use to stay up late on NYE but over the years I have begun to favor an early bedtime in order to get a head start on the fresh year - generally heading out somewhere to be in nature. This year saw me hiking Silver Falls State Park. But I have talked about my New Year habits in previous posts over previous years. The thread of today's image is actually involving Harman Phoenix 200 - the film used to make this image.
I will say, I have not completely made up my mind on this film, though my opinion of it has evolved since my first roll with it. It is definitely interesting stuff and I am glad Harman is making it. How long it remains available is still to be seen though. But even if it is phased out, it seems like that will be just to make room for a newly evolved color film.
But it does surprise me sometimes how film photographers don't quite seem to realize how malleable a material film is to work with. I see it sometimes at work. Customers will drop off film and then be amazed to discover how much work we can do to an image at the printing or scanning stage. Some think the image is more or less baked into the film and there is only one possible way that it will come out of a printer. But this also happens online too, especially with the rise of home developing and home scanning. Folks will develop a film like Phoenix then scan it (sometimes poorly) and characterize it by the results they get as if those are the only results possible. One example of this is the fact that Phoenix has a purple base. Most color films have a dusky orange film base. But Phoenix must share technology with XP2, a black and white C-41 film also known for a blue-purple film base. This purplish base makes it trickier to scan since a lot of film scanners are calibrated to see, and negate, the orange film base. And since we are dealing with negatives where everything inverts, that purple base of Phoenix inverts into a yellow-orange color cast in the positive scans. That is to say unless you work to correct/calibrate for it. My initial tests with this film only had modest color corrections and I just kind of let it be yellowish. But then I saw some optical prints we had done in our lab where our printing tech had put in a bit more effort to see if he could correct Phoenix to something a bit more neutral. The results impressed even me and at first I did not even realize the prints I was looking at had come from Harman Phoenix. So having seen this as an example of what the film could do I spent more time scanning my next couple of rolls. Specifically I used the Nikon Coolscan's ROC (restoration of color) feature to automatically correct the color cast. It did an impressive job but also had a tendency to add too much contrast. So lately I have been dialing in the color corrections manually and ending up with results like this image and without the heavy yellow tinge of my earlier images made on Phoenix.
I guess my point is multi-pronged. One - be careful about rushing to conclusions, especially when you have relatively little evidence to work with. Two - don't believe everything you read online because the folks giving you info might be failing at point One. Three - Remember that you are blind to your own blind spots. Meaning you have them, but you cannot see them. And it is easy to forget about something you cannot see. I had begun to characterize my own expectations of this film without realizing it and it took the print work of our lab to make me conscious of the bias I was forming about Phoenix. Four - keep your mind open and be curious, don't stop asking questions and don't stop looking for the answers to them, even if you want to think you already know those answers.
Anyhoo, just some Phoenix-related thoughts that may or may not be applicable in other ways.

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

The answer is "yes", I do travel to zoo's and photograph the animals for websites. Just in case anyone is curious.
I live in Idaho but travel to Oregon and WA.
Photographing zoo animals to help bring realism in a photo is what I like to do on my off time.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?
Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can really see the sky?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer is blowin' in the wind....

Ever since I got interested in bird photography three years ago it seems like everyone I talked to about Bald Eagles inevitably asked "Have you been to Conowingo Dam?" My answer has always been "not yet." That changed on 31 October 2018, and now I see why everyone asked that question. In late autumn and winter Conowingo Dam commonly plays host to a large congregation of Bald Eagles, sometimes more than 100. The day I was there (a weekday) there were more photographers than eagles, and I'm sure that is often the case (I cannot imagine how many go there to see the eagles on a weekend). And though it was supposedly a "slow day," it was still spectacular. I'd estimate there were between 25 - 40 eagles there that day.
Multiple spillway gates on the far side of the dam were opened during my visit, that kept several rock outcrops where eagles often perch inundated, and also lured most of the eagles very far away from where photographers have access. There were only 3-4 times when an eagle made a hunting pass on the near side of the dam, so most of my shots were more of a scenic nature than close-up action. The cascading water and spray from the spillway did provide a dramatic background for those distant shots. FYI, the dam is 94-ft tall and almost 4,700 feet long.

I apologize for my lapse in answering emails and posting new images for the last 4 weeks. I just returned from nearly 4 weeks of international traveling that included trekking in the Himalayas and some time in Thailand. I hope to have some images processed soon from the trip, but for now I have to continue posting some older work.
This is an image from a short trip I took to Death Valley a couple weeks before I left for Nepal. I spent some time here at nearly -300 below sea level, and two weeks later I was trekking at 16,000 feet under the tallest mountains in the world. I hope you enjoy the image.

...to answer a question, the interiors were recently done and so were very clean and decent., however the exterior and the guests were not....and as I drove around to the back where my unit was at, it was disgusting. It was like the last 100 cars had emptied out their ashtrays on the pavement...like thousands of cigarette butts...then there was the picnic table chained down which had a shopping cart next to it and the remnants of someone homeless living there along with bottles in paper bags. To top off that scene, there was the overweight seedy guy on the 2nd floor balcony intently watching my every move, his apparent ho who appeared eventually out of an adjacent room and the guy who just hung around sitting in his car, all watching me...and so I looked at the unit, measured the doorway, rode in between the parking bumpers and over the curb into the room and closed the door behind me.
I have recently been told by an old high school friend of mine that he used to do the same thing...so maybe I'm not the first to do it, but it worked.

Back to the Pittsburgh series. Last week (2020-08-06), in a re-run of a vintage episode of Jeopardy! (an American game show) from 2002-05-06, the Final Jeopardy was in the U.S. Cities category.
The question was "Founded in 1758, it’s named for a British Prime Minister who was a noted defender of the American colonists."
The answer to that is of course Pittsburgh, which is named after British statesman William Pitt the Elder.

God answers prayers ....
"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." ~ James 5:16
I could have shared one of my experiences back in 2011 when in Spain ( where this picture was taken from ), God does answer prayers and I noticed it's when I am on desperate need or in the last minute when all means has been used up. However, I am feeling tired writing it down at this moment of posting , just my day . If I put it in writing , perhaps I hardly put it well together as I needed to refuel / charge - up . Perhaps I'll do it on my next posting. But I assure you, God does answers requests . The reason I can't stop talking about Him. He has humour too.

If you're suspecting of being oppressed by witchcraft , spells ,
hexes, curses, even some demonic presence in your surroundings
or your house fells haunted, don't shiver or be frightened.
Curses , hexes can affect your finances, your job , your relationships.
Have faith in Christ , take the name of Jesus and by
the blood of Jesus use the given authority using His name -
you can cast out demonic presence , or even stare a demon in the
eye and never be scared of those dark critters, even principalities
in dark places neither be afraid of them.
When you take on to confront a witch or a warlock
be strong as you have the authority to cast them away even
bring judgement into them through the blood of Christ !
I do exercise this authority with the blood of Jesus
as Christians should all do, casting out demonic
presence, sanctification of the place etc through
declaration with Jesus Blood. But don't play around
with name of Christ and if you're not ready ...as it may backfire
on you especially when dealing with demonic entities.
You need to be born-again and and have the spirit of God in you
and much better if you have gained the Holy Spirit's
anointing in you. Your anointing isn't evidenced
by a paper certificate from your pastor or priest.
You will know for sure if you have the anointing of the Lord.
No one will tell you but the spirit of God in you.
Everyone who have accepted Christ Jesus with all
their hearts should have the Spirit of God in them.
This interview with Ruzz Dizdar is
helpful of those who are new and of those taking interest
in this subject .
Be a spiritual warrior for Christ . This is the time
to even more push forward to witness the world the
revelation of the power of God as this world will
be soon swallowed into all out darkness ... spiritual
darkness abound , the portals of hell are opened !
If you don't know , just watch your TV, and if you can't even tell
and distinguish then you have the problem, you can't see.
What is good is perceived wrong, and what is dark is
considered amiable .
Have a nice weekend everyone and God bless.

The face of a young woman appears over the woman on the right of the photograph. The reverse of the photograph reads: 'Why is the child always pushing to the front?' and 'Do we get messages from the higher spirits?' - perhaps questions the women wanted answering. One of the sitters, at Hope's request, has signed the plate for authentication.
