HMS. SURPRISE
Strike a pose at the helm of the HMS. Surprise just like Russell Crowe as Captain "Lucky Jack Aubrey." The ship used in the academy award winning film, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World found a permanent home at the Maritime Museum of San Diego in 2004. The HMS Surprise is a magnificent replica of an 18th century Royal Navy frigate.
HMS. Surprise is a 179-foot full rigged ship. Her designers and builders made a painstaking effort to recreate a 24 gun frigate of Great Britan's Nelson era Royal Navy. The result is a replica vessel unmatched in its authenticity and attention to detail. Originally christened H.M.S. Rose when she was launched in 1970, she served as a sail training vessel operating out of several East coast ports for over 30 years. the ship underwent extensive modifications for the production of the film in 2002. The museum acquired the ship in October, 2004. Plans include restoring the ship to seaworthy condition.

The first from the weekends adventures. We visited all 7 of the magnificent 7 cemeteries in London. Made up of Kensal Green, West Norwood, Highgate, Abney Park, Nunhead, Brompton and Tower Hamlets.
They were built to try and fight the overcrowding of cemeteries in the 1800's as decaying body matter was getting into the water streams and causing epidemics.

Golden light spills across the Aveiro lagoon as the sun sinks low over the Atlantic. The calm waters reflect hues of pink and amber, while herons, flamingos, and egrets drift gracefully across the shallows. Evening sea walks here are a quiet ritual — the air salty, the light soft, and the rhythm of nature unhurried. A peaceful moment where land, sea, and sky seem to breathe together.

Authentic commerce and daily life unfold at Cholon Market, also known as Binh Tay Market, in District 5, the heart of Chinatown in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This historic marketplace is one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant centers of trade and culture. From vendors selling fruits, spices, and textiles to the sounds and scents that fill its narrow alleys, the market offers a true glimpse into the rhythm of local life.
As a travel photographer, I was drawn to the authenticity of this scene — where tradition and modernity coexist seamlessly. The lively atmosphere, human interactions, and colorful displays reflect Vietnam’s cultural heritage and community spirit. Cholon Market captures the essence of Saigon’s identity: dynamic, diverse, and deeply rooted in history.
"Authenticity is everything! You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who's looking back at you. And you can only do that if you're being honest with yourself and being a person of high character. You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life."
Aaron Rodgers

Some cheesy Bruce Lee quotes (for authenticity, please read with a thick chinese accent):
"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves."
"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend."
EDIT: Okay for those having trouble with the accent, here's the man himself: vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&... :)
...your intuition,
...your inner voice,
...trust your emotions,
...most probably they have a very good reason for being there
...hear yourself,
...find your truth,
...see who you are,
...it's all you have to offer to this world
...invest your time into being the best "you" could ever be
...am thinking quite often lately, that this might be the only way to true happiness, but also to a successful life.
...kind of connected to this* yesterday,
...I am thinking that true personalities cannot be reproduced, much like true love cannot and unlike tangible things, which can be copied, reproduced or faked.
...am really inspired by authenticity and being genuine....and have been meeting many such people here....that shine with their distinct personalities and the unique ways in which they express themshelves....this is for all of you...so happy that we have been crossing each other's online paths :)
...wishes that we'll all be evolving in the best possible manners, touching deeper and deeper parts of ourselves through our work.

I captured this Atlas Mountain village in the early morning, at that precise moment when the dawn light begins to caress the mountainsides. I chose this vantage point to showcase the harmonious relationship between three elements: the cultivated fields in the foreground with their natural lines guiding the eye, the traditional village emerging from the earth itself, and the powerful Atlas Mountains standing guard in the background. The clouds bring dynamism to the sky while the soft morning light reveals textures and colors without overexposing them. This image captures how traditional Moroccan architecture integrates perfectly into its environment, using local materials to create a habitat that seems to have always been there - a testament to timeless harmony between human presence and natural landscape.
A candid moment full of warmth, honesty, and winter charm.
This portrait captures the kind of smile that doesn’t just brighten a frame – it brightens the entire day. No posing, no staging… just pure, genuine emotion in the heart of Frankfurt.
A reminder that beauty lives in authenticity, and that some of the strongest photos happen in the seconds in between.
Kashmir: The Live Led Zeppelin Show
Coral Springs Center For The Arts
South Florida ~ Broward County
Coral Springs, Florida U.S.A. - 11/3/18
[ Well, that's it for this great rock concert. Really superb show!
If you closed your eyes you would think it really was Led Zep!!
Strong-vocals and note-for-note playing. ~ Thanks for looking ]
The Entire Show ~ 12 Pics ~ flic.kr/s/aHsmvL8oW5
Kashmir, The Live Led Zeppelin Show was created by vocalist Jean Violet back in 2000. It has grown from the streets of New York City to now being one of the top Led Zeppelin Tribute bands touring nationally and internationally. Kashmir’s primary focus is capturing the live performance and raw energy of a Led Zeppelin show.
Time and time again audience members who meet and greet with Kashmir after a show tell them how they felt as if they went back in time to a Led Zeppelin concert that they attended or how younger members of the audience will tell the band how it was the closest experience that they will ever get to a Live Led Zeppelin performance.
Yes, the singer looks and sounds a lot like Robert Plant and the band shares the authenticity, appearance and sound of the great Led Zeppelin but more importantly the band wants to share the energy and the experience that Led Zeppelin created while on tour. The band calls it “The Zone” and they want everyone to share that same electromagnetic experience after leaving a Kashmir show like so many Zep fans did in the past while watching the great Led Zeppelin on stage! ~ High energy show that lasted over 2 1/2 hours! Bravo!
Located in Downtown Asheville’s Brew District, Hi-Wire Brewing embraces its craft from top to bottom – from its hand-produced beers to its artwork, hand-drawn by a local artist. Hi-Wire’s light-hearted circus theme embodies the fun, authenticity, and creativity of this deep-rooted craft.

Meine erste Foto-Einzelausstellung präsentiert im Café Berio, Berlin
Vernissage 31. Juli 2018 | Finissage 22. September 2018
In meiner ersten Foto-Einzelausstellung zeigte ich meine Berliner Portraits und einige meiner Vogel-Fotografien; daher der Titel der Ausstellung. In meinem Fotoprojekt wollte ich einmal weg von den sonst bewusst gewählten Orten, an denen man ein Fotoshooting durchführt. Ein Studio oder eine ausgewählte Location haben für die Menschen meist etwas sehr Unpersönliches. Ich wollte dorthin, wo es am authentischsten ist; an die Orte, an denen die Protagonisten (überwiegend Künstler) zu Hause und in ihrem Element sind: auf der Bühne, hinter der Bühne und vor, während und nach einem Auftritt bzw. Event. Ich möchte dem Betrachter Bilder zeigen, die er nicht unbedingt während einer Veranstaltung wahrnimmt und Außenstehende gefangen nehmen, als hätten sie es live miterlebt.
Über 70 Arbeiten präsentierte ich in der Ausstellung; darunter Portraits von Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper und vielen anderen.
Vögel leben auf allen Kontinenten. Sie sind flüchtige, scheue Tiere. Auf meinen Fotografien lassen sie aber eine unwahrscheinliche Nähe zu. Das eigentlich Fremde und in der Natur nicht Sichtbare habe ich in meinen Vogel-Portraits festgehalten.
Mein Motto: "Authentizität ist das Schlüsselwort, das hinter meiner Fotografie steht. Ich ziehe es vor, mehr die menschliche Note zu zeigen und weniger die Retusche."
Die meisten der Exponate sind in der queeren Community entstanden.

My first solo photo exhibition presented at Café Berio, Berlin
Opening July 31, 2018 | Closing September 22, 2018
In my first solo photo exhibition, I showed my Berlin portraits and some of my bird photographs; hence the title of the exhibition. In my photo project, I wanted to get away from the usual deliberately chosen locations for a photo shoot. There is usually something very impersonal about a studio or a selected location for people. I wanted to go where it is most authentic; to the places where the protagonists (mostly artists) are at home and in their element: on stage, backstage and before, during and after a performance or event. I want to show the viewer images that they don't necessarily see during an event and capture outsiders as if they had witnessed it live.
I presented over 70 works in the exhibition, including portraits of Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper and many others.
Birds live on every continent. They are elusive, shy animals. In my photographs, however, they allow an improbable closeness. I have captured what is actually alien and invisible in nature in my bird portraits.
My motto: "Authenticity is the keyword that lies behind my photography. I prefer to show more the human touch and less the retouch."
Most of the exhibits were created in the queer community.

A young woman out for a walk on her parents property gives a hearty wave to a passenger train headed for the big city of Baltimore as it speeds through the farmland of South Central Pennsylvania. One has to imagine that the sight of these new and fascinating machines making their way through rural America had to have been a powerful symbol of hope for a very bright future for a young nation.
Viewers may question the authenticity of such a dense and dark smoke plume from what appears to be a wood-burning steam locomotive. Of course, York 17 is actually a replica of an 1860s-era Rogers product, and for practical and safety reasons, she burns waste motor oil. Obviously, creating a dark plume for the cameras is easy for an oil burner, but would a wood-burner be able to create such a plume? Friends who have extensive experience with actual wood-burners tell me yes. While the wood that is generally available today for use by museums and tourist railroads does not produce a great deal of smoke, back in the day, railroads would have sought out wood with a high pitch content. It burns better, has a high BTU content, and does indeed produce a fairly dark smoke plume. So, while the color of the oil-fired plume is a bit off here, a dark dense plume is apparently pretty authentic.
This image was captured in November of 2021, on the new Northern Central Railway, Pennsylvania's newest tourist railroad, just over a quarter mile south of the former Glatfelter Station, in the town of Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania.
“I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.”

And I really believe almost all the foreigners in Huangdao district of Qingdao had never been through that alley. Why? Mainly because the area are newly developed, covered by fancy buildings and "cleaned" big streets where everything can be found. But for the people like me, who loves adventure and authenticity, losing my way in the old and dirty alleys hidden between news towers and only frequented by locals is where I like to be in China.
This is China~~
by Sartre’s definition the Invisible Painting doesn’t use substitution symbolism.
In any language we don’t use things when we need to convey certain information. So there’s total substitution of things with symbols. Sartre offered the idea of culture based fully on symbolism. It certainly is true in the fact of science and art using languages that always substitute things in the construction of expressions.
Musical, Art, Literature has own languages with full substitution of things to symbols.
That how in Sartre’s opinion though people who realize their human call to contribute to culture nothingness is brought into the culture.
The authenticity of true creation can be defined by the language that can’t be a language of substitution.
Paul Jaisini who creates his invisible paintings. His artistic language knows no such method as to substitute thing with a symbol of this thing. Thus the language of invisible painting by Paul Jaisini is the authentic language and is nothing like what we know to be any other language where symbols are used to substitute things. That is a short way to show how by Sartre’s definition the Invisible Painting of Paul Jaisini is not bringing nothingness creating authentic works of art with the language that doesn’t use substitution symbolism.

Nestled in the tranquil countryside, this spring destination enchants with its unique architecture, which combines rustic elegance with artisanal originality and the authenticity of its creators. Surrounded by lush nature, Sunbird is home to a variety of animals, including birds and cats, who have found shelter and freedom here. Every corner reveals a serene setting—from flower gardens to shaded trails—making Sunbird a sanctuary of beauty, peace and welcome.
Hoc opus eximium, tam mirum, tam pretiosum Rainaldus prudens operator et ipse magister constituit mire, sollerter et ingeniose.
Rainald, the skilful workman and master builder, executed this wonderful, costly work and did it with incredible skill and ingenuity.
De ore leonis libera me domine et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam
Make thou me safe from the mouth of a lion; and my meekness from the horns of unicorns.

The front cover is taken off, and placed next to the box. There is a clear plastic window over the doll, that has graphics and text in white. Then the plastic window taken off, and the backing cardboard removed from the box. The doll is securely attached to the backing, and is supported by the included display stand. The Certificate of Authenticity is removed from under the backing, and placed in front of the doll. Then the CoA is put away to take clear shots of the doll.
I purchased the D23 Exclusive Limited Edition Red Jasmine 17'' Doll on her release day, Saturday August 15, 2015, from the Disney Store in the D23 Expo 2015. She is a red colored and enhanced variant of the LE 5000 Teal Jasmine, which I pre-ordered on August 4, 2015, and will be released on October 13, 2015. She is LE 500, and costs $119.95.
My doll is #226 of 500. She is such a beautiful doll, and is by far my favorite item from the Expo. She is on my desk right now, so I can admire her beauty up close as I work on my computer.
I will post photos of Red Jasmine boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed.
The Willys Jeep is a staple at reenactment displays during airshows, adding authenticity to World War II-themed setups. Often paired with period uniforms, equipment, and other vintage vehicles, it showcases the versatility and importance of the Jeep in military operations. Its presence helps immerse audiences in the history of the era, offering a tangible connection to the vehicles and roles of the Allied forces.

A quick little vignette I made for the 47th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Although it's hard to tell from the lighting, the grey lunar rover on the left is made entirely of classic light grey pieces to add to the retro authenticity! The backdrop is of course my celestial matte painting called "The Moth Nebula", which I've created last winter.

Vernissage 31. Juli 2018 | Finissage 22. September 2018
In meiner ersten Foto-Einzelausstellung zeigte ich meine Berliner Portraits und einige meiner Vogel-Fotografien; daher der Titel der Ausstellung. In meinem Fotoprojekt wollte ich einmal weg von den sonst bewusst gewählten Orten, an denen man ein Fotoshooting durchführt. Ein Studio oder eine ausgewählte Location haben für die Menschen meist etwas sehr Unpersönliches. Ich wollte dorthin, wo es am authentischsten ist; an die Orte, an denen die Protagonisten (überwiegend Künstler) zu Hause und in ihrem Element sind: auf der Bühne, hinter der Bühne und vor, während und nach einem Auftritt bzw. Event. Ich möchte dem Betrachter Bilder zeigen, die er nicht unbedingt während einer Veranstaltung wahrnimmt und Außenstehende gefangen nehmen, als hätten sie es live miterlebt.
Über 70 Arbeiten präsentierte ich in der Ausstellung; darunter Portraits von Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper und vielen anderen.
Vögel leben auf allen Kontinenten. Sie sind flüchtige, scheue Tiere. Auf meinen Fotografien lassen sie aber eine unwahrscheinliche Nähe zu. Das eigentlich Fremde und in der Natur nicht Sichtbare habe ich in meinen Vogel-Portraits festgehalten.
Mein Motto: "Authentizität ist das Schlüsselwort, das hinter meiner Fotografie steht. Ich ziehe es vor, mehr die menschliche Note zu zeigen und weniger die Retusche."
Die meisten der Exponate sind in der queeren Community entstanden.

My first solo photo exhibition presented at Café Berio, Berlin
Opening July 31, 2018 | Closing September 22, 2018
In my first solo photo exhibition, I showed my Berlin portraits and some of my bird photographs; hence the title of the exhibition. In my photo project, I wanted to get away from the usual deliberately chosen locations for a photo shoot. There is usually something very impersonal about a studio or a selected location for people. I wanted to go where it is most authentic; to the places where the protagonists (mostly artists) are at home and in their element: on stage, backstage and before, during and after a performance or event. I want to show the viewer images that they don't necessarily see during an event and capture outsiders as if they had witnessed it live.
I presented over 70 works in the exhibition, including portraits of Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper and many others.
Birds live on every continent. They are elusive, shy animals. In my photographs, however, they allow an improbable closeness. I have captured what is actually alien and invisible in nature in my bird portraits.
My motto: "Authenticity is the keyword that lies behind my photography. I prefer to show more the human touch and less the retouch."
Most of the exhibits were created in the queer community.

Opening the box of the Harrods Anna and Elsa LE100 dolls, to get a better look at them. We can do this without damaging the packaging in any way, by sliding the multiple covers off the box until the dolls are in the open. We can also get a look at the Certificate of Authencity, which is below the bottom of the inner box. The set is #39 of 100.
First look at the Harrods special edition of the Disney Store's Limited Edition Anna and Elsa Doll Set. I purchased it through a reseller, as it was only sold at the Harrods London store. It was released on November 1, 2013, in an edition of 100. The retail cost is more than four times that of the separately sold LE Anna and Elsa dolls (which will be released worldwide on November 20, 2013, in an edition size of 2500). As might be expected, the dolls are considerably different in details than the ''regular'' limited edition dolls. In particular there is considerably more crystals on the outfits, and embroidered snowflakes completely cover the outer gown (cape) of Elsa. Also, Elsa's skin has a pearly shiny surface, very similar to the skin of LE Ursula, although it has a much paler purplish color.
They are 17'' fully articulated dolls, with doll stands and certificated of authenticity. Anna is in her coronation gown, Elsa is in her Snow Queen gown.
“truth and light”

Truth is most often used to mean being in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or standard. Truth is also sometimes defined in modern contexts as an idea of "truth to self", or authenticity. In today’s world, it is often impossible to distinguish between truth and what only appears to be true. I suppose there are as many versions of truth as there are people. Despite this, a real truth does exist even if we are unable to identify or grasp it. We often strive to look to others to reveal the truth to us, yet more often than not, we have the answers within us.

I urge to look within.

The True Cross is the name for physical remnants which, by a Christian tradition, are believed to be from the cross upon which Jesus was crucified.[1]
According to post-Nicene historians such as Socrates Scholasticus, the Empress Helena, mother of Constantine, the first Christian Emperor of Rome, travelled to the Holy Land in 326-28, founding churches and establishing relief agencies for the poor. Historians Gelasius of Caesarea and Rufinus claimed that she discovered the hiding place of three crosses that were believed to be used at the crucifixion of Jesus and of two thieves, St. Dismas and Gestas, executed with him, and that a miracle revealed which of the three was the True Cross.
Many churches possess fragmentary remains that are by tradition alleged to be those of the True Cross. Their authenticity is not accepted universally by those of the Christian faith and the accuracy of the reports surrounding the discovery of the True Cross is questioned by some Christians.[2] The acceptance and belief of that part of the tradition that pertains to the Early Christian Church is generally restricted to the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. The medieval legends that developed concerning its provenance differ between Catholic and Orthodox tradition. These churches honour Helena as a saint, as does also the Anglican Communion.
