Ken & I saw Sting from 3rd row seats in Chastain Amphitheater, Atlanta - this is the VERY first shot I snuck with the Nikon! OMG! Yes, FANtastic!! Got hassled at the gate over the camera- YES. Talked my way through two VERY kind event people there- YES! Did NOT shoot with flash- absolutely NOT! High ISO, 18-55mm lens. And well, with 3rd row shots, that was GREAT as a view, but we were sitting practically in the lap of one of the security guys . . . ! It's not like I am selling these memories- just sharing them, and not like we didn't pay dearly to be where we were- we DID! It was AWESOME! Somehow, I don't think Sting would begrudge me these awesome mementoes- I didn't do him out of a cent of what he worked for!!
And yes, he can still belt 'em out! He sang nonstop for the entire concert and was rockin' the skinny leather jeans! His voice is SO amazing and not ONE crack or lack there! EVEN better than expected!
Oh. And one more thing- the Chastain Amphitheater venue is GREAT! Very small and laid-back; more personal- we would LOVE to go back to ANYthing else there!

So, Amy Winehouse died today.
This is my tribute.

If any of you followed my stream and posts about a year ago, you'll know that I was going through a really hard time emotionally, with lots of questions about who I was and who I wanted to be. To be honest, those still aren't resolved, but I do feel much better equipped to deal with the in between. So now that I'm not a heartbroken mess, it brings into stark focus the fact that at this point in my life I am choosing how the rest of it will go. I'm done with my second year of college and things have only gotten more fuzzy. For the past month or so I've really been stuck in the haze of it all... I feel like all the passion has been sucked out of my life. I get excited about things, but I never get... enflamed? Thrilled? Deeply engaged? I don't know. But it's very difficult.
So. Fast forward to this morning. I roll over, grab my laptop, and the first thing on my news feed is that Amy Winehouse is dead - and I think to myself, is this some sort of joke? Someone had to have made a satire. There's no way she didn't make it. There's no way she's not gonna win.
Because, see, I've been a fan of hers for years - since I was sixteen, I think. Unfortunately all that anyone ever heard about her, if they bothered to hear about her at all, were the interesting bits like drug addiction and abusive relationships. Most people missed out on the fact that she was an absolutely beautiful woman inside and out, with a way of putting her thoughts into the most elegantly honest songs. She never stopped being her. She was fighting a battle that millions of other people are, and I desperately wanted her to win.
I was stunned by the news - not surprised, just taken aback. I don't think anyone could be surprised. Then I realized something odd: although I did think it was really a shame that she would no longer do anything more, no albums, no tours, I wasn't really sad. I don't know if there was a way for her to ever be happy here, in this world - something that I also wonder often. Sometimes people are born that just don't fit into the mold. I'd like to believe that wherever she is now, she's happy. Maybe now she has some peace.
There's a song that's been gaining popularity on the radio lately called "If I Die Young," and towards the end of the last verse the singer says, "funny when you're dead how people start listening." I guess that sounds pretty negative, but there's a positive version of it, I promise. I went on a drive after I heard the news to take some pictures and listen to her albums, and the clarity of everything just hit me. It was like someone dropped me in a giant church bell and it was ringing with the sense that it was just fine. So, um, I guess everything is going to be okay. It always seems to be in the end.
Oh, and I'd just like to note that this was the only take of this - I got it on the first shot. And this is SOOC. I don't claim to know much about the supernatural, but it was a funny thing.

Today was back to school. How fast the summer went and just how fast my son has grown. Already grade 2!!
Took this picture as I past in the hall.

The U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said. “They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone. Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software – which does not exist today – would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone’s physical possession.”
Apple’s position on the matter is clear: acquiescing to the FBI’s request to develop a tool to unlock an iPhone, even if it belonged to a murderous terrorist, would set a dangerous precedent and slippery slope.
China is watching the dispute closely. Analysts say the Chinese government does take cues from United States when it comes to encryption regulations, and that it would most likely demand that multinational companies provide accommodations similar to those in United States.
Last year, Beijing backed off several proposals that would have mandated that foreign firms providing encryption keys for devices sold in China after heavy pressure from foreign trade groups. …
While it’s still not clear how the law might be carried out, it is possible a push from American law enforcement agencies to unlock iPhones would embolden Beijing to demand the same. China would also most likely push to acquire any technology that would allow it to unlock iPhones.

Never mind the FBI in the UK, GCHQ have been monitoring your communications for years, they didn't even bother to ask.
Edward Snowden, former intelligence contractor told the BBC's Panorama that UK intelligence agency GCHQ had the power to hack into phones without their owners' knowledge.
The UK government declined to comment.

somehow it feels like the front but I still prefer it to be the back. I'm not so sure why I added buttons that day during sewing. But it looks zakka style to me.
Thank-you so much for everyones support over the past few months as I struggled to find out what was wrong with me knee! After having an ultrasound, 2 x-rays, MRI, and seeing a few different doctors I finally found Dr. Watson. He performed athroscopic knee surgery on me today and discovered that my knee cartilage had been damaged and was extremely loose. He told me that even the suction from the surgery could have pulled it out. I had the damaged part removed, and am well on my way to making a recovery. I should be able to start walking around a little in a few days, and once I am fully healed should be able to kneel and run once again! I am so happy that the problem is finally diagnosed after 4 months of unknowns.
The dogs are going to make recovery so much easier. Just having them there, cuddling with me and staying close.
I did go for sunset shooting but did not make it since I went to the wrong spot. There was fog an hour before sunset time. Only can share the butterfly I took this afternoon. Just love the back lighting through its wings.

one of the original projects published in Shadowfolds book of Jeff Rutzky and Chris Palmer, my biggest shadowfold project till now
made on 50 cm square of blue lining fabric, not the best choice for shadowfolds but it was part of experiment :) ... after it was cut to obtain circle as you see it on pictures, final size is 27 cm (diameter)
the size was quite small and fabric quite light and wobbly, ironing was especially difficult, and you can see a lot of imperfections in detail, but i like overall view and feeling from this piece
started before Christmas and finished during winter holiday in Slovakia
Jeff managed to copy the pattern to the fabric, my thanks goes to him :)
