I salute and applaud the brave people from Charlie Hebdo and the French media who are helping them to create the next issue. Barbarism should and will never win!

This variant of Rosette is called Maltese Rosette because the outline of its “petals” resembles a Maltese cross. In contrast to the plain Rosette, which is 3D and uses curved folding, this one is flat and uses straight creases only. This is the first model I folded from OK Myusukaizeru paper but it’s too early to write a review yet.
because there's a bunch of these guys EVERYWHERE! A sign that Fall is just around the corner. We went to the park today and there were pinecones all over the playground. Kinda cool. Sofia had a blast picking them up and throwing them. She kept throwing them in the trash can though. She was helping "clean up". LOL She's funny...
Because of the Atlantic Ocean, the weather in winter changes several times a day. This is for taking of the different light situations great, but the wet conditions, as heavy snow or rain, is the death for the old cameras as Rolleiflex or Hasselblad.
Nevertheless I took that wonderful moment.

Because these birds don't always give me such great opportunities in this location, and to follow up on my mistaken belief that they'd shown up and then left the area back in mid- March, please put up with this very lengthy series of Red-winged Blackbirds (Agelaius phoneceus), male and female, from the south end of South Belmont Pond, Kelowna, BC. at the beginning off April.
In case you're wondering, they're arranged this way because, well, that's the way I wanted 'em. I'll leave it
to you to figure out whether or not there's a method in my madness....
And finally the best of the lot (IMHO) is buried just past the middle of the series....
So the next time some single-minded profit-seeking bastards want to come and mess with you and your community and try and irreversibly change it for the worse, follow the advice of how the New Era Estate came TOGETHER, fought them off and WON. So even if Russell Brand self-destructs and becomes that risible discardable figure, it won't matter much because local direct action is all we've got, with or without him. Anyway, other high-profile people can be sought to raise the exposure for the cause. In the end, 93 families have kept their homes in Hackney, East London, and these courageous resident campaigners will undoubtedly inspire countless others who find themselves in similar predicaments whether it be housing or fracking or the like. This for me is what brings hope in 2015.
No Internet today because of wicked storm last night, so had to go work at the library.
While there i found out my card no longer worked. As i was updating it this time, the head librarian just took my license and updated it and smiled and was as pleasant as could be.
They were last time as well when i first got it - but they did ask at that time " Are you sure you want this to say "Karen?".(They verify you are a resident by using your license, so they know exactly who i am legally). I opened my arms up at that time and said " Well, i will look like this every time I come here - so having it say Karen would really be nice". And her response was " You got it "

Because I love to play with my food and have always wanted a life-size blueberry muffin all to myself.
Because my elementary school age grandchild is not going to school and needs to stay home because of the COVID-19, she and I are doing an art challenge 3 days per week. The first subject is FRUIT. Here's one of my first Tuesday drawings. I did three.

Because shooting airplanes in flight isn't difficult enough I went and did it at night. Of course they were loaded with pyro.....
Because of the amazing feedback to my Thunderjaw I really wanted to make something for the fans and the developers of "Horizon Zero Dawn".
So I designed a Mini-Version of the Thunderjaw that you can build yourself!
Many thanks to Wayne de Beer for helping me improve the build and making these awesome instructions:
You find the needed parts here (the flex tube for the magazines is not included in the part list):
Happy building!
Because she was home alone, with only her son Mr Humphrey for company, she decided that she would do her work while sitting on the desk. Unfortunately, she was not allowed to do this in the office because everyone kept ogling her shapely glossy hosiery clad legs!

Because of the long drought conditions the local San Diego area has experienced, the coastal bluffs have had years to dry out and settle. When it rains, the earth absorbs the water and expands, causing bluff collapse.
"Because ... once you have started, there's no reason to pause. The change between the reality that is photographed as it appears beautiful and the reality that appears to us beautiful because it was photographed, is very short. Just started to say something: "Oh how nice, you should take a photo! and you are already on the ground of those who think that everything that is not photographed is then lost, as if it had not existed. And then to really live one must photograph as much as possible, and to photograph as much as possible one must either live in the most 'photographable way ever', or consider suitable for a photo for every moment of their lives.
The first path leads to stupidity, the second to madness .. "
Italo Calvino, 1971.
Special thanks to miss_skywalker for having pointed this quote to me, I think it is just perfect for this photo.
"...Perche' una volta che avete cominciato, non c'e' nessuna ragione che vi fermiate. Il passo tra la realtà che viene fotografata in quanto ci appare bella e la realtà che ci appare bella in quanto e' stata fotografata, e' brevissimo. Basta che cominciate a dire di qualcosa: Ah che bello, bisognerebbe proprio fotografarlo! e giа' siete sul terreno di chi pensa che tutto cio' che non e' fotografato e' perduto, che e' come se non fosse esistito, e che quindi per vivere veramente bisogna fotografare quanto piu' si puo', e per fotografare quanto piu' si puo' bisogna: o vivere in modo quanto piu' fotografabile possibile, oppure considerare fotografabile ogni momento della propria vita.
La prima via porta alla stupiditа', la seconda alla pazzia.."
Italo Calvino, 1971.
Un grazie speciale a miss_skywalker per aver fornito questa citazione, perfetta per la foto.
“Because nothing can make me run from you. We all have a past, some darker than others, but being broken doesn't mean you can't be loved. It just means there are more pieces of you for me to love.”

Because I haven't asked if he needed a glass of water.
Because I haven't asked if he needed to talk.
Because I haven't asked if he needed to listen.
Because I haven't asked if he needed to give a call.
Because I haven't asked if he needed money to go home.
Because I haven't...
and this makes me feel so sad.

Because why would you not walk around with a bongo strapped to your back? Bongo actually belongs to Jango but he's temporarily in retirement while I save up to get him a new face.

car shows are still horrible venues for a photographer, I would love to get this beast out in a closely mowed open field with a decent background.
I am listening to the song by Chinese diva Faye Wong, "Because Of Love" (duet with Eason Chan).
In the lyrics, it says time loses its impact on the lovers. They become forever young because of love.
"因為愛情 怎麼會有滄桑
所以我們還是年輕的模樣"
When I was shooting the cherry blossoms at Minoru Park yesterday, the wind blew off the flower petals and they showered like rain.
I was standing under canopy. I felt like time was frozen and at the same time time flied in light speed.
When I came out of the shade, it is like the start of a new century.
Happy weekend!
Just another frame of this amazing scene, because truly this is what I came for!
Those who follow my photography know that two favorite rail subjects I seek out all over are 'Freight Under Wire' and 'Trains Where Trains Shouldn't Be' (aka street running). Well in Michigan City, Indiana you can do both at once.. I was fortunate to make this happen for the first time last year but alas then it was only light power and a freight against the light.
This time I got the holy grail of an eastbound freight in the morning!
So I'm gonna post a few of these just because before returning to the rest of the shots of this chase.
Having dropped most of their train at Bailey Yard in Burns Harbor, original CSSB GP38-2s 2003 and 2000 from the ten unit order delivered by EMD during the Chessie System ownership era have a dozen or so in two headed east toward the Carroll Ave. shops. A half mile east of the prior shot but still in middle of 11th Street, we see them again swinging through the famous s-curve between Lafayette and Cedar streets and starting up the great as they come through the York Street intersection near MP 33.6 on the South Shore mainline.
In the background can be seen the gothic steeple of St. Mary the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic church. Built in 1868, the central steeple was heightened to its present form in 1927 and is a prominent backdrop in many South Shore images.
Alas scenes like this are on borrowed time which was my impetus for returning so soon. If you want these iconic shots you better come quick because a massive nearly half billion dollar project to double track the line all the way to Michigan City in order to shave 30 or more minutes off transit times and allow greater train frequencies is supposed to start construction soon. This will lamentably lead to the end of street running and the removal of nearly all the homes and structures on the south side of 11th street and the straightening of this curve. In fact, many more than last year were already bought up and either already demolished or boarded up with big no trespassing project signs on them. And of course the downtown midstreet passenger stop on 11th street has already closed so the line already felt different than 11 months prior. To learn more check out the project web site and the detailed PPT presentation on the project: www.doubletrack-nwi.com/images/DT_PRS_DTVirtualOpenHouse_...
But change is the only constant in life, and the CSSB has been modernizing and rebuilding since the Insull era. In fact in 1956 the long section of street running in East Chicago was bypassed and in 1970 the street running into downtown South Bend was abandoned...so I suppose this is just a continuation of what has come before.

they answered (both, together, of course) when I asked them why they are wearing the exact same clothes...
we continue to swap scalps, just for fun.
Leeloo is wearing a Sunshine Holiday scalp here, and as expected, she still looks super cute and adorable!

All the photos in this montage were taken by me within the last 5 years. One of the most magical times at the pond is when there is a morning mist..I have been blessed to witness many visions of Heaven there. The photos are real and not manipulated. I hope you like them.

Because you are made only from paper.
Drawing/Painting/Paper Scales. Made for the group exhibition "I Like Drawing" at Nerve Gallery. If you wanna buy, go to the exhibition (opening the 27th and 28th of June) or wait until the exhibition ends in August and then maybe it won't be sold by then. Otherwise, just admire this photo.
If you recognise this a little, that because it was a drawing from 2007, brought to the future by my now more skillful pencil and paper-cutting and painting skills.
Because I fell in love with the haunting, flutey songs that I heard when hiking through local forests, I had been looking for a cooperative Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) to photograph for quite some time. Frankly, the thrushes are songsters of unmatched beauty to my ear. Their calls are simply composed of notes and tones I would never have expected a bird to make. To me, they intone video game sound effects from the 90s! You may hear the song here.
How do they accomplish these vocalizations? They, like other birds, don't have a larynx. Instead, they have a Y-shaped syrinx that allows them to sing two notes simultaneously. And they are masters of this trick, singing duets with themselves that would put human crooners to shame.
