LARGE View On White
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malapatan, Sarangani is bounded by a rich aquatic mangrove forest, where mangrove trees reach 10-20ft high, it has also serve as a barrier to the might waves of Celebes.
Going inside this aquatic forest is surreal. This is a shot from inside the “forest” with the sky matching its beauty and showcasing theatrical lights.
"It had to do with how it felt to be in the wild. With what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation of trees and meadows, mountains and deserts, streams and rocks, rivers and grasses, sunrises and sunsets.
It had nothing to do with gear or footwear or the backpacking fads or philosophies of any particular era or even with getting from point A to point B.
The experience was powerful and fundamental. It seemed to me that it had always felt like this to be a human in the wild, and as long as the wild existed it would always feel this way."
— Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn.
Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
There's a storm tonight, so I muted my music and turned off all the lights and just sat there listening. Listening to the way my breath catches when I didn't expect that last one, the way that somehow all the city noises stop in that moment....and somehow my thoughts do too.
So I sat there listening. Because I can't do anything else. You see, that city is me. Quieted by the storm because it reminds me that I'm small. And so are my problems. But you know what? It also whispers this: "I love you." #sweeterpoetry
|| Quick question. Call it an interest poll. If I were to post some spoken pieces onto soundcloud, would any of you be interested in hearing them? ||
Fall is beautiful. The golden sunsets and crisp air are perfect for getting ready for the holidays. This little field is right on my way home. I just missed the most beautful sunset. The tail end of it is in the distance... :(

"We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity.
When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything" 🍃💦💚 —Jonah Lehrer, Why We Travel: The San Francisco Panorama (McSweeney’s, scienceblogs.com/cortex/2009/12/10/why-we-travel)

Combined two images of the clouds. Darkened the right side and lightened the left side with Dodge and Burn in Photoshop. Used an Infrared Preset in Lightroom to add the dramatic infrared look.

Sunday • September 12, 2010
Went on my photoshoot yesterday and as I prepared to leave when it was getting on towards dusk; the clouds lit up spectacularly and it was just too beautiful to just up and leave! So I stayed another two hours!
I caught this spider in his web as I was laying in the sand shooting the lake, the dunes and the city; panning my lens around ... and into the viewfinder popped this little guy. I wasn't even thinking of a worms-eye view for today; and I haven't done one for a while. I had a lot to choose from and I just love how the webs caught the light!
Happy Worms-eye View Sunday everyone! Heading up to Great Lakes to pick up Rachel for the day. Seeing both my girls in one weekend is *happy happy joy joy*. But that means 4 hours of driving today. *heavy sigh* I've driven so much lately I feel like a long-haul trucker!
