Timing and the right use of shutter speed is essental in creating interesting wave patterns. For me to capture this I experimented in suing shutter speeds from 1/4 to 2 seconds.

“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

“ 'Anything I learnt would have to be justified by private benefit rather than by the interest of others. My discoveries would have to enliven me; they would have in some way to prove ‘life-enhancing’.
The term was Nietzsche's. In the autumn of 1873, Friedrich Nietzsche composed an essay in which he distinguished between collecting facts like an explorer or academic and using already well known facts to the end of inner, psychological enrichment”

Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.

When the museum architecture is as inspiring as this, what’s exhibited has to be grand. The Joslyn did not disappoint. Omaha, Nebraska. Sister is on 49/50 states before the 31st anniversary of her 29th birthday in June ‘26.
LIFE AND DEATH
Celebes Sea being an ancient ocean basin and part of western pacific ocean can be a friend or foe, in one time silent and still as a melody and the next as violent and vibrant as a rock song.
This is one of my fave in yesterday's session. Remnants of a once mighty sea spruce, it lies desolated in the shore, with a young tree blossoming in the background, withstanding the might of the waves.
PROLOGUE: It has been a while since I did some serious landscape shoot. Finally a chance to be alone with the sea.
SARANGANI: A Revisit to Paradise
More than a year has past since I last visited this place, with more than 3,000 kms of coastal area facing the mighty Celebes sea. My last visit has enabled me to capture memorable landscapes that have given me awards and recognitions. Truly this revisit is special.
A 45 minutes travel from Gensan, I set out to capture hopefully, enduring and timeless landscapes.
Blessed with a golden light and mighty winds with crashing waves, it was a perfect scene.
These are my takes on my first day in this landscape utopia.
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer. 🍃🍃

“Learning became her.
She loved the smell of the book from the shelves, the type on the pages, the sense that the world was an infinite but knowable place.
Every fact she learned seemed to open another question, and for every question there was another book.”

This a portrait of one of the locals..his face tells a lot of stories and the war he has seen.
A business trip to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam made me realized how much I missed shooting travel and streets.
Gearing away from my comfort zone of shooting landscapes, I try to wander the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh.
These are my capture of Ho Chi Minh with side trips at Cu Chi and Mekong Delta.

We were so busy last Thursday, I didn't even take one photo! Rachel really wanted to see photos from Jackie's trip to Belize and we came across this one! I can't believe I haven't done anything with their trip photos! And there are so many good ones! Bad Mom! So today, I am working on them so I can create a photobook.
As you can see, Jackie is also creative with the camera! She has a great eye! This photo blows me away! She said that every single day, there was an awesome sunrise & sunset. So wish I could've been there with her!
Photo: By Jackie
Editing: By me: all I had to do was a bit of noise reduction and straighten the horizon line
Simple one this week as I've been super busy!

Gosh what a summer it has been...Actually, What a year it has been!!! These words pretty much sum it up for me and I've done exactly that..Those 4 sentences, I'm doing and really amazing things are happening. You may not be able to visually see it but I know. Back to school tomorrow and throwing myself back into my Project 52 which I need to get back on track, lots of wed-editing and a trip to the doctors to see about my painful hips..Lots of cuddles welcome. Keep you posted about that! Abi xx
The majority allowed the dogma. They idled and retreated into nothingness where they will stay.
Others wouldn't comply. These individuals grew in one way or another.
Disconnected from the irrelevant, they too remain faceless, but by choice.

Thanks fo your comment(s) and fave(s).
Used the hi-ball glass again. Put a glow stick in the glass and white EI wire around the base of the glass. Used the laser pen to add the swirl.
Added two texture layers, removed all the color except for the pink. Created some overlays.
“Nietzsche also proposed a second kind of tourism, whereby we may learn how our societies and identities have been formed by the past and so acquire a sense of continuity and belonging.
The person practising this kind of tourism ‘looks beyond his own individual transitory existence and feels himself to be the spirit of his house, his race, his city’.
He can gaze at old buildings and feel ‘the happiness of knowing that he is not wholly accidental and arbitrary but grown out of a past as its heir, flower, and fruit, and that his existence is thus excused and indeed justified'.”

Downieville, CA - Afternoon walk with the dogs & a few family members on Thanksgiving Day. Several days of snow had fallen and things were just starting to let up. Quiet Magical Snow everywhere & on everything. Fresh test roll of #kodakektar100 through a newly acquired hand me down #minoltax570 - Minolta Cameras & Glass have a definitive look and are highly underrated in my book. Minolta X-570? = Keeper.
