A FULL FRAME FISH in HK
View LARGE here farm3.static.flickr.com/2656/4060239021_a0cf7ba9d9_o.jpg
Something to remember HK by....I have been here so many times but never tried shooting the place...I mean really shoot it the way I wanted. Borrowing my partner's terminology for a full frame camera with a 15mm fisheye (thanks to Raymond Cruz for the lens), I tried to bend matter and light.
The distortion is to taste and i love it.

In honor of Earth Day 2010: "Think globally, act locally!" I spent 3 1/2 hours in my spice garden yesterday to do my part in reducing CO2! And getting back out there today to start planting my tomatoes! :D
"Earth Day is Every Day!"
"Autumn arrives, array'd in splendid mein;
Vines, cluster'd full, add to the beauteous scene,
And fruit-trees cloth'd profusely laden, nod,
Complaint bowing to the fertile sod."
― Farmer's Almanac, 1818
...is actually a repeated pattern as it takes place much more often than just this lovely season.
Living with white requires some attention - not having pets and children at the moment helps - and of course frequent cleaning procedures.
The covers of these fairly old Ikea sofas have survived a few dosins of washes, as they are being washed almost every second month!
Here, as being put on fresh, no previous ironing required ( chosing the "light ironing" programm in the washing mashine helps a bit though)
Picture taken late inthe afternoon...
Another glorious sunrise over Padre Island. Press "L" and let the light shine down on you!!

Happy Sunrise Wednesday!
ETA: Two of my very sweet Flickr friends need some light from heaven above so this is dedicated to the both of them. ♥

This is our sweet Shani. She doesn't have the best relationship with the camera for some reason. She scoots away or turns quickly when she sees anything pointed at her. I got lucky on this day.
Another storm cloud image. Used an infrared preset and boosted the red, orange, yellow, and green colors. Removed the pole that the hummingbird is on and used the marquee tool to make the overlays.
I'm really missing Rachel today. On our last evening together, we went to the park.
To talk.
To swing.
To watch the sunset.
I miss you already... I miss you always
I miss you already... I miss you all day
This is how I feel...
“In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad gita, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial; and I doubt if that philosophy is not to be referred to a previous state of existence, so remote is its sublimity from our conceptions.
I lay down the book and go to my well for water, and lo! there I meet the servant of the Bramin, priest of Brahma and Vishnu and Indra, who still sits in his temple on the Ganges reading the Vedas, or dwells at the root of a tree with his crust and water jug. I meet his servant come to draw water for his master, and our buckets as it were grate together in the same well. The pure Walden water is mingled with the sacred water of the Ganges.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
It has been a year of many changes. I'm not sure what the future holds, but I am very much looking forward to 2013.
Thanks to everyone for your support and friendship, and for sticking around with me. I appreciate it very, very much.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. I wish all of you the best for 2013!
The rest shall be left behind, but this remains. One moment of split sunlight bringing a distinct curiosity and a desire to just stay. Stay because this isn't the same without you. Because you make silence sing. #sweeterpoetry

Peaceful and beautiful morning in Prague

Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁
...
One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, but along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:
She is the 100% perfect girl for me.
He is the 100% perfect boy for me.
But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fouteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.
A sad story, don’t you think?
Yes, that’s it, that is what I should have said to her. .
