In this Vlog, I commit to using a fixed telephoto lens to capture the images. The idea was to refresh my ideas about subjects, compositions and perspectives. Join me as I battle to make images fit within the crop of my 300 mm Canon Lens. the link to my Vlog is above

I'd also like to thank Jo Yardley for the gift of this wonderful sim. If you haven't visited all the awesome places at the Time Portal you should take a look. They'll take you back in time.
The Buddha Said — Alan Watts ft. Akira The Don
And so, that is a nice little tangle
If I put this in the language
Of oriental philosophy and religion
It would be something like this
The Buddha said that wisdom
Must come only from the
Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire
The Buddha said that wisdom
Must come only from the
Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire
One who abandons that desire attains nirvana
Which is supreme peace liberation
Nirvana means, in Sanskrit blow out
That is, exhale the breath exhale the breath
The opposite, dеsire, is to breathe in
Now, if you brеathe in, and hold it
You lose your breath
But if you breathe out, it comes back to you
It comes back to you
The Buddha said that wisdom
Must come only from the
Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire
The Buddha said that wisdom
Must come only from the
Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire
So the principle here is if you want life
Don't cling to it let go
Let go
But the problem is if I desire not to desire
Is that not already desire?
How can I desire not to desire?
How can I surrender myself
When myself is precisely an urge to hold on
To cling?
To cling to life, to continue to survive
To survive to survive
The Buddha said that wisdom
Must come only from the
Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire
The Buddha said that wisdom
Must come only from the
Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire
I can see rationally
That by clinging to myself
I may strangle myself
I may be like a person who has a bad habit
As a result of which he is committing suicide
And he knows that but can't give it up
Because the means of death are so sweet
See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime :-)

After being stuck behind this late-running train at the road crossing at Maheno, I set sail southwards towards what has become my favourite spot along the Shag Point coast.
Not being sure whether I'd suddenly stop to take a shot en-route, I ended up remaining behind a truck for most of the way and as I pulled off almost half an hour later, I figured I'd have plenty of time to get my act together when the scanner barked into life with 925's Hillgrove radio call.
Hillgrove being only a few miles to the north, I had to sprint into action to effect some mild trespassing over a farm gate with my stilts. And to think that I'd only just been worrying that there might only be another ten minutes of sun...
Clean duo DFB 7241 and DC 4012 are doing a good job keeping the roads clear just north of Shag Point with the Katiki Point lighthouse and Yellow Eyed Penguin colony in the distance. In a few minutes the train will stop at Bushey for a crossing and crew change with 926.

Just to annoy the the purists, I did remove a powerline in the top left corner and a haybale or three. Hardly committing a Burkholder I'm thinkin'
I was a young novice amateur photographer equipped with a Rollei 35, and I wanted to try my hand at photography in the metro. Not daring to photograph this sleeping character in the presence of the other passengers, I waited until they had all got off at the last station on the line. I barely had time to commit my crime when the sound signal announced the closing of the doors. I then ejected from the carriage in extremis, without having had time to shake the shoulder of this poor sleeper who was carried towards the tunnel where the metro turns around to go back in the opposite direction…
J’étais un jeune photographe amateur débutant équipé d’un Rollei 35, et je voulais m’essayer à la photographie dans le métro. N’osant photographier ce personnage endormi en présence des autres voyageurs, j’ai attendu qu’ils soient tous descendus à la dernière station de la ligne. J’ai à peine eu le temps de commettre mon forfait que le signal sonore annonçait la fermeture des portes. Je me suis alors éjecté du wagon in extremis, sans avoir eu le temps de secouer l’épaule de ce pauvre dormeur qui fut emporté vers le tunnel où le métro fait demi-tour pour repartir en sens inverse…
which the West calls “cabin fever.” True, it parades under different names, according to circumstances and caste. You may be afflicted in a palace and call it ennui, and it may drive you to commit peccadillos and indiscretions of various sorts…
Be sure that it will make you abnormally sensitive to little things; irritable where once you were amiable; glum where once you went whistling about your work and your play… It will betray your little, hidden weaknesses, cut and polish your undiscovered virtues, reveal you in all your glory or your vileness to your companions in exile — if so be you have any.
Cabin fever has driven men crazy. It has warped and distorted character out of all semblance to its former self. It has sweetened love and killed love…:-)

Black Lullaby:
Close your eyes
At the advent of night
Go find your dreamland
Just walk into the light
Dream of cakes and candies
Dream of swings and slides
Dream of mama's kiss
She's waiting on the other side
Take my hands
I'll give you shelter from
The crimes humans commit
And seeds of hate they plant
Why there's cannons roaring
Why there's bombs and tanks
Why people kill each other
Neither do I understand
Tread lightly
She is near
Under the snow
Speak gently
She can hear
The daisies grow
Tarnished with rust
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust...
Song here if you wish to hear:
The tsar's speeches are becoming more and more idiotic. He pretends normality, meets with other kleptocrats and pretends that there is no war. Most ridiculous are his extremely strange tirades against the West, in which he simply turns around all the outrages he commits and blames them on the West. This is so bizarre...does he believe this himself or is this his kind of humour?

sometimes I find even the smallest things can be the most beautiful, trying a reverse ring and diopters before committing to a macro lens
"Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday."

This threat finally materialized in front of me. It was an amanojaku, an evil celestial spirit, small in size but dangerous, who has the power to provoke in a person his deepest but also darkest desires, which are not necessarily the same, and therefore incite him to commit reprehensible acts. He stood before me looking at me with his bright eyes 👹

I refuse to use focus stacking. It's easy to avoid: if the content won't fit within the depth of field available, pick a subject and commit to it. The resulting image may be more interesting and/or impactful as a result.
Stopped on my way home to take some pictures of the Snake River and the bridge into Twin Falls Idaho. I noticed a person on the wrong side of the railing, I looked through my camera and zoomed out to see more closely. I thought he was being stupid, or maybe committing suicide, then he jumped, thank God he had a parachute.

Note to whom it may concern: As a member of the Philippine Bus Enthusiasts Society (PhilBES) and its junior and affiliate group, the Philippine Bus Photographers Association (PBPA), both of which are communities/groups of bus and coach enthusiasts and amateur photographers, that focus on bus companies' history, technical specifications of vehicles, and other related subject matter, that is based in the Philippines, I would like inform you that the number plate of the bus on this photo has been blurred out to prevent it being used as evidence by any agencies, whether be it privately-owned or government-owned, to apprehend the said vehicle or the operating company of the vehicle on the photo at times when the said vehicle may be involved in any motoring mishap, incident, or accident. This is to prevent the involvement of myself, and/or any members of the groups stated to any such cases or the hassles and possible dangers presented with being involved at such cases. I would also like to stress out that I am NOT a part nor am I affiliated or connected in any way with any bus companies inside or outside the country. At times when you may experience any of employees of the operating company of the bus on the photo behave in an offensive manner; such that of reckless driving, lack of manners towards the passengers, incorrect and excessive charging of fare, and any other offenses they may commit, I do advise you report them to their respective managements for further action.
However, despite the limitation I stated earlier about the use of my photos, any person is free to download and use any of my photos to any general or civilian use such as advertisement and other promotional use, school works, or personal interests about the subject.

Commit your way to the LORD,trust also in Him,&He shall bring it to pass.PSALM 37:5*
Anytime people set goals for their lives that require great striving,intense frustation,repeated failures,&manipulation of others-that is an unrealistic goal.
It is not within the realm of their God-given talents&abilities. It is beyond GODs plan&purpose for their life.Now,Im not saying that the achievement of goals doesnt require effort,education,training,or the development of skills.
Those factors are always necessary in the attainment of any goal that is worthy.God doesnt give us talents&abilities that are fully developed.He requires that we sharpen them&mature in their use.
ITs another thing entirely to commit yourself to becoming an opera singer when you cant carry a tune in a bucket.
