When two people take a photo, no two photos will be exactly the same. Each is an expression of the person who took it. When two people gaze through a window, they will not see the same view. When we look into the window of our souls, make no mistake, we see a different us, then everyone else sees. No one understands your heart better than you. No psychiatrist, no clergy, no friend, no loved one. Unfortunately, sometimes the image of ourselves is blurred, and darkened by the misconceptions of self that we bring to the window. And, then, not even we can see the real self. Maybe it's time to clean the glass, turn on the light, and look again. maybe it's not so dark, and, blurry as we imagine. Deep thought number 2, for the day. That's it. My brain is all used up for one nite.

Can't believe theme week is coming up again so Wally is trying to think of a theme. Can you help him? The deeper he thinks, the more derpy he gets.

Before I took this shot, I tried to make some photos from this lovely sunset. My camera has some difficulties to focus on these sticks. The sight on my display made me stop and change the settings to manual focus, because of the instant feeling I had. It felt like an idea for an unsolved problem that isnΒ΄t figured out right now. You think you are on the right way but you cannot hold it.

so I got this idea to buy this cloak, and then I finally ordered it. They said 7 to 10 days. Took them over 24 days to finally get it to me. I have been trying to get around to taking pictures I want with it. But weather hasn't helped out any, and the paranoia of someone stealing my camera. while I am out blind taking pictures, or incapacitated to chase them down has limited me. But yet I try and draw inspiration from a couple different people I follow on here. People and pictures listed in spot of people in photo. So go check out my inspirations in their profile bubbles below. They are inspirations in different parts of this picture. I never seem to give people enough credit. So this is my little way of giving back.

Priscilla exploring the city

Shot this in the Finger Lakes, New York while we were camping.

 

You know, I've been thinking about this shot after I posted it. The car, arguably one of the most important or at least, essential inventions in our day to day life. Of the 20th century in our first world countries anyway. Only a house is a bigger investment on average. It got us here where I shot this. It's protected me from the elements, my home away from home. And yet look at what it's doing to our planet, to our climate.

 

At the same time look at this sky. We aren't but a speck in the universe both in size and time. What does the universe care about the things we are doing to ourselves, to the things around us? If we are not careful we'll just be space junk. Humbling, really. It must have been the thing in my subconscious that decided to leave the car in the shot.

Alone with nothing but my thoughts is enough to drive me crazy. A self portrait shot in an abandoned Chapel. VisArG.com

He was not actually moody or sad. Probably just a little tired and reflecting...

Some of my conclusions at Stanford's VLAB 2014.

 

I am reminded of the closing chapter in Danny Hillis' book The Pattern on the Stone: β€œWe will not engineer an artificial intelligence; rather we will set up the right conditions under which an intelligence can emerge. The greatest achievement of our technology may well be creation of tools that allow us to go beyond engineering – that allow us to create more than we can understand.”

Canon EOS 1V

Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L II IS USM

Kodak Portra 400 VC film expired April 2002.

Son and father head out into the Cleveland air

Young man reads a book under a lamp in a dimly lit room

  

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain

I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones

Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

 

And I'll be gone, gone tonight

The ground beneath my feet is open wide

The way that I've been holding on too tight

With nothing in between

 

The story of my life

I take her home

I drive all night to keep her warm

And time... is frozen

The story of my life

I give her hope

I spend her love

Until she's broke

Inside

The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

 

Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change

Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill

Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still

 

And I'll be gone, gone tonight

The fire beneath my feet is burning bright

The way that I've been holding on so tight

With nothing in between

 

And I been waiting for this time to come around

But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

 

The story of my life

I take her home

I drive all night to keep her warm

And time is frozen

The story of my life

I give her hope

I spend her love

Until she's broke (until she's broke inside)

Inside

The story of my life

More tinkering with gear. Today this lovely "on the fly" portrait was done without posing on planned setup. Lovely lady was watching TV and I asked if it was OK to snap away. She said yes and I asked her to be natural and not pose.

 

Canon EOS 5D Mark III with Hasselblad 80mm f2.8 CFE T*, with Vizilex ND Throttle (Hasselblad V to Canon) adapter. Canon Speedlight 430EX II on camera flash set at 1/2 power. Had the ND on the adapter set at about 5 stops. Lens was wide open.

 

Not sure but I think the ND filter is giving a color cast particularly the background which was beige color. Need more testing to be sure. Anyone with any experience with ND with flash indoors or Vizilex ND adapters?

My smart, sad little granddaughter in an unguarded moment. God bless this sweet child.

On the very top, looking down, at dawn.

Pink and pale blue sky.

We met this seagull meandering, apparently steeped in thought, on the banks of the Thames exposed by low tide.
