The melting of glaciers may have been caused by black soot and not so much by the climate change. While white ice is very good at reflecting sunlight and heat, black particles of soot or black carbon promote greater absorption of sunlight and heat, according to a study by National Academy of Sciences.

Rant aside, we’re at the back of the store now, taking a look at the magazine racks. Another complaint is that this store got rid of the comfy chairs the old store had in favor of just a couple of hard, backless benches like the one seen in this image, but that’s not my personal complaint – just one I’ve seen and heard mentioned a lot! I rarely sit down inside myself, but for those who do, I can certainly understand their disappointment…

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Effigy (c. 1199) on the tomb of King Richard I of England (front) and Queen Isabella of Angoulême (back). Richard I was known as Richard Cœur de Lion or Richard the Lionheart because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior.
The Royal Abbey of Our Lady of Fontevraud was a monastery in the village of Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, near Chinon, France.
The abbey was founded in 1101 by the itinerant preacher Robert of Arbrissel. The first permanent structures were built between 1110 and 1119.
The area where the Abbey is located was then part of what is sometimes referred to as the Angevin Empire. The King of England, Henry II, his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and son, King Richard the Lionheart were all buried here at the end of the 12th century.
It was disestablished as a monastery during the French Revolution.
The complex of monastic buildings served as a prison from 1804 to 1963. Since 1975, it has hosted a cultural centre, the Centre Culturel de l'Ouest.
A major restoration was completed in 2006. The abbey is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a historic monument of France.

Recently came upon this photo from my archives. It was taken in 2009 and is looking over Back Cove and Woodfords Corner towards Mt. Washington (I think) in the far distance.

Wings tattoos like some of the women who shop there. The mannequins at American Apparel’s downtown New York City store have pubic hair peeking through their lingerie. And at Dav...
In memory of my beloved father.
I miss him every day. Not to mention his little stories. One day, out of the blue, he recounted a short scene in a movie he saw more than 50 years ago: a guy was telling another the story of two young people madly in love with each other. The girl was still living with her parents; however, as a condition to move together with her lover, she asked him to leave town for a period of two years; additionally, during this period he was supposed to abstain from laughing (or even smiling).
The young man duly complied with these two (quite exotic) requirements and came back home after exactly two years. Close to arriving at the girl's house he noticed a lot of people in its garden. He entered the house and shortly thereafter started laughing.
At this moment, my father asked me: "Why did he laugh? You have five minutes to think about it!"
...The (not so surprising) answer? The man saw a coffin in the house; the girl had died several days before.
This is a drawing I did a few years ago, based a photo of a weightlifter - was never too happy with the way it turned out originally. I've been experimenting with the way I render color and light a bit recently., so I thought I might dig it out and play around with it. It's a bit more detailed and fussy than my drawings usually are -- not sure if that's a direction I want to go in, or if I should be pushing towards simplicity. But that's what sketching and drawing is great for. Always good to experiment with processes. Who knows, I might even start working with ink and paper again one of these days.
Sadly, I cannot remember her name, but I recently saw a stand-up comic whose words keep coming back to me. She was talking about masturbation but the point she made struck me as totally describing my relationship with photography. She said she could never get a sexual fantasy to reach fruition because... in her mind... she kept endlessly revising what she wore. And I'm so much the same with photography. I'm so obsessed with setting the scene (and it's never quite right) that I manage to (surprise) avoid shooting altogether. Which is ridiculous and absolutely must stop. Now.
So here's my new strategy - going back to doing things the old fashioned way. By which I mean strapping on my camera, heading out into the world, and seeing what I can see. These oyster catchers were lit in such a way that I couldn't really see them through my camera, so I just kinda shot in their direction. They're so damned cute, it's hard to get a bad picture of them. So yeah... I shot herons and fish and sea anemones and rocks and trees and dried up salt in tide pools. And... no, it wasn't amazing. And no, I didn't get any good shots. But that was not the point. The point was to stop trying so hard and just enjoy the act of shooting for its own sake. (Goodness knows I have enough other things to obsess about. Taking the trying out of photography opens up its therapeutic benefits. Which I really need right now.)
New camera new photo attempt. Same lighting setup as last time but the photos came out a little better this time (more over all light captured, though still some light and focus balancing issues), still need to get more practice with the new camera. With how large this moc is and its color scheme the only way I may get real good photos is outside on an over cast day (not likely to happen with this moc) or with good convention hall lighting.
