We are coming back to normal life here in Russia. All mayonnaise salads finished off, cakes too. Few pics done, nothing worthwhile. Hope to be in shape soon both figuratively and physically :)

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.

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.
I was happy to be dockside again and back in my FE jacket. Squall or no squall we got our pots in cause that's what we do...

Travelling back in time, exploring dark corners of the past - this view seems ages ago. What once was is no more. Empty spaces got filled now. And all is full of love...

Harlequin Duck - male
Histrionicus histrionicus
I made my annual pilgrimage to Barnegat Light this morning to see the wonders that often hang out there like this beautiful Harlequin Duck - my favorite duck species.
The water was really high today so the ducks had less space on the rocks, making it easier to get a nice shot.
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.)

This is the back of the lodge where the band played. I didn't stay late like everyone else...was a party pooper and went to bed! lol...you can see the tops of the cabins out there...they were so cozy...had little fire places and I'm so glad...it's so cold up there in the mountains...wow! This place is in Idaho. Lochsa Lodge. :) Large view is best. I know these kinds of photos probably aren't as interesting to others...kinda wedding related stuff is what I mean. I'll be done with them soon! :)
