Taking another walk in the evening around a very quiet High Street.
Kraven the Hunter: Maniacal big game hunter who wants to defeat Spider-Man to prove that he is the greatest hunter in the world.

If they had to fight, who would win?
#79 in the Duel 365 series.
Spring is finally upon us. This being Canada, however, we are still seeing evidence that winter was here in full force.
We visited the USS Hornet today, a retired U.S. navy aircraft carrier permanently moored in Alameda. Alameda was at one time a very busy Naval Air Station until it was closed in 1997. Redevelopment of the vast property seems to be stalled. Perhaps eventually homeowners will be able to enjoy this great view of the City across the Bay. When we came out onto the deck at the end of our tour, the city was completely obscured by fog.
Visiting on a drizzly midweek day was perfect timing as we had the ship almost to ourselves. It is chock full of interesting exhibits about not only life on a ship, but many of the other Essex class warships. We were guided through the engine room, mess halls and sick bay by a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable docent
The Hornet participated in important battles including the Doolittle Raid and the Battle of Midway and recovered the Apollo 11 crew and capsule. She was in service from 1943 to 1970.

This is a once in a lifetime for me and even more special with the northern lights three days earlier! May be a bad photo but it's a solar eclipse and I have no camera or filters as school won't let me take them in (well my dad won't)! I'll probably try and do something more creative tomorrow to do with it.

"Turn the page, lift up the pen,
Time to share my thoughts again...."
I've been writing and recording music for the past 15 years or so. I've played in a variety of bands, but have been mostly working solo for the last few years (most of that time on a project called Monica's Last Prayer).
Had the idea to do a couple more song-inspired shots - but instead of promoting somebody else's work, this time I thought why not create some images to go with my own music?
So here's the first one, 'Blue'. This is the opening track to the next album, 'Prayerbook' - which I've been writing and recording one track per month this year (or trying to, at least!).
Here's a link to the song: Monica's Last Prayer: Blue. Not sure what musical realm this stuff populates - and it certainly won't be to everyone's taste. I just tend to write and record what I like to listen to - which generally means melancholic (others would say miserable) and emotive (others would say depressive). At least it's all my own work. Hehe.
Anyway, there you go. A bit of shameless self-promotion never hurt anyone ;-) Consider it a rounded multimedia experience!
Oh, these shots will probably be slightly more graphic and abstract than most of my others - as I'm trying to come up with potential album art while I do it... Two birds, one stone - etc.
Spotted this over lunch hour and thought it would make a natural high key. Had to wait a bit for the clouds to drift by in the background.

Day 79/365
This shot was taken at Spadina Subway Station at the Walmer Road exit. I liked the red, white and grey tiles and the lines. The mirror gives it a fisheye look. This shot makes me turn my head and then feel a little dizzy.
Keine Zeit ein richtiges Foto vom wunderschön verschneiten Berlin zu machen.

Old Clothes Pegs
I guess I need to upgrade my old clothes pegs.

You could drive by either of these places 100 times and never give them a second glance. But they're both special in their own right and deserve a visit. You have to look past the façade…
SuzyQ Doughnuts beat Tim Horton's and Dunkin' Donuts hands-down. It's not even a fair fight. They're twice the price, but 4x as good. suzyq.ca
Art Is In Boulangerie, has to be the best all-around bakery in Ottawa (especially if you're into sourdough bread and real French patisseries with more butter than your liver can handle) and has the best Sunday brunch around. www.artisinbakery.com/

We all hate our photographs taken I think. Especially othose of us behind the camera. At least I do anyway.
So, I figured I would grab the lensbaby (as I am hoping to take the majority of shots with this lens) and took a few shots for my photo a day.
So there you have it, me - shooting me.

Just meditating on the meaning of the words Vernal Equinox as the sun sets upon the Smoky Mountains. You ever get a word stuck in your head like Vernal Equinox, Vernal Equinox, Vernal Equi...It just sounds so weird you just can't stop saying it.

2 AB800s one on each side of model bounced from studio ceiling @ full power.

On the other side I have another cold-sore so only half of me can feature otherwise extensive PS work would have been involved. I missed my Monday selfie again this week....life and work seem to have gotten in the way...but in the absence of a better idea I ended up my subject for tonight. I will say close ups of eyes with a macro lens in low light and on live view is not easy so I resorted to my trusty 50mm.

Thanks again for all the continued support there's been an awesome amount of views, comments and faves to my photograph this last week :)
I know this isn't Thanksgiving-y but I loved it so I wanted to use it =) Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
female statue on the Royal Sun Alliance Building in St Vincent Street, Glasgow. Designed by Sir John James Burnet this figure is the Seafarer's Wife. I like my title of Woman of the Shadow better as in this light she is more akin to a femme fatale or a resistance fighter :)

Jessica was nice enough to model for some shots today so I could try out something new. I really love these photos, and the ones on my blog! Thanks for modelling, Jessica :)
... who had to study these today. 5 years since my last appointment. chipped. missing fillings. who knows what else?
I finally signed up to a new practitioner. I let my check-ups lapse after my old dentist retired, and I didn't take to her replacement. Still I'm proud I've made the first step. I just hate to think how much it's going to cost me.
Every day I take a walk. It helps me relax, and of course its part of maintaining my weight loss. Some days I take my cell in case I see something worth taking a photo of.
Today, I went with a friend to take some test shots across the street from where we work. As soon as we started snapping shots of a big sculpture in front of the building, security came running out telling us the whole property was copyrighted, and we couldn't take pictures without permission. So we did what anyone would do... went around the corner to where he couldn't see us to take my 365.
