So, I get to the ferry to go into town, and town wasn't there. At least, the lower half wasn't. It was surreal, to say the least. These are some shots I took waiting for, and on, the Louis B Porterie.
Looking back on the Algiers dock. If you squint really hard you can see the top of it to the left of the cranes.
The green-backed trogon (Trogon viridis), also known as the Amazonian white-tailed trogon, is a near passerine bird in the trogon family. It is found in tropical humid forests in South America, where its range includes the Amazon, the Guiana Shield, Trinidad, and the Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil. It formerly included T. chionurus of the Chocó region as a subspecies, but under the common name white-tailed trogon (a name now reserved for T. chionurus)
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.
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.)

Another back to school card. I colored the school and the owl (HA printables) in colors of rainbow. The sentiment the owl holds says ´happy return to school`. Tfl

Thank you Mackenzie Leander for climbing on this sketchy roof top in your short little dress, you're an angel. This picture could easily be interpreted freely, I know what it means to me and it relates to the quote. Someone cared a lot for her, and she hurt them.

Carrying the weight of the world makes for a strong back.
An update of a shot I took for my 52 project a few years back - this time managed to construct a white background which I think makes for good contrast.
