This is my entry for the #16 - Spot the difference (present two images as a diptych with one or more differences to see if others can spot the differences) category in the 113 in 2013 Group.
What a difference a day makes. Winter comes to Westvale Pond, leaving a coating of ice for the Daily Challenge on weather. I decided to go out with just my 35mm and enjoyed dealing with its limits. On the plus side, it is my sharpest lens and feather weight (almost). Many have noticed the heart shape - I wish I could say that I did at the time, but not so. Explore 178.
To be different is to be IN, means to be different from others, to stand out, to be different, to be distinct, to have differences, to not be the same.
Depending on the context, it can have different connotations:
Positive: To be original, unique, to have one's own style, to be innovative.
Neutral: To simply have different qualities, opinions, experiences.
Negative: To be considered strange, non-conforming, different in a negative sense.
It's me. ♥

… Parmi les milliers de personnes qui circulent à chaque jours sur les rues, il y en a toujours une qui sort de l'ordinaire… Dans la photo urbaine, c'est ce qui attire mon attention et c'est ce que j'aime photographier… Encore une fois ici, cette jeune femme ne passe pas inaperçue et lorsque le moment s'est présenté, j'ai vite pris mon appareil photos ( toujours sur le siège de ma voiture ) et les résultats sont souvent intéressants malgré de fait que je n'ai pas trop de temps à réagir. Avec un peu d'observation, on voit que le pied droit ne touche pas encore le sol… … Photo prise au Marché By, Ottawa, ON

"The Difference" … Among the thousands of people who wald at each days on the streets, there is among them always one which stands out… In the urban photograph, it is what draws my attention and it is what I like to photograph… Once again here, this young woman doesn't pass unperceived and when the moment happened, I quickly tale my camera (always on the seat of my car) and the results are often interesting even though I don't have to much time to re-act With a bit of observation, you can see the right foot doesn't touch the ground… Photo taken at Byward Market, Ottawa ON
Los que poseen el espíritu de discernimiento saben cuanta diferencia puede mediar entre dos palabras parecidas, según los lugares y las circunstancias que las acompañen.

Those who possess the spirit of discernment know how much difference can mediate between two similar words, according to the places and circumstances that go with it.

Richard Conrad’s wonderful book is well written, with clear explanations and many good stories to illustrate very different ways of thinking. The Chinese story on this page has been a favorite of mine for decades.
These two pages were screen copied from the Kindle edition (c2019).
The moment when someone is marked as “other”.
Not by who they are, but by the finger that points.
Difference here is only a surface we choose to see,
like a stone mistaken for a person simply because no one looks deeper.
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."
― Douglas Adams
"I told the writers there are no bad ideas. And they really took that to heart."
― Liz Lemon, "30 Rock"

People say lots of silly things about failure. For instance, my high school principal tried to inspire/lecture us at our graduation by telling us, "If you don't have a goal to aim towards, you'll never miss your mark." I think this was just a confused version of "Aim for the moon, because even if you miss you'll end up among the stars." But to this day, I can't be sure if he was being stupid, sarcastic, or secretly ingenious at some deeply meta level.
Here's another thing people say: Failure is not an option. Words that have been muttered more than once by desperate men right before they make a really bad decision.
Some pretty dire stuff can happen when we refuse to accept defeat, refuse to acknowledge our failures or even our capacity to fail. When the stakes are so high, we might feel justified in resorting to all kinds of bad behavior we'd never excuse when failure *is* an option. Those words -- "failure is not an option" -- are really just another way of saying, "I had no choice." Really? None at all? Forgive me if I chock that up to lack of imagination.
Am I saying we should embrace failure and learn from our mistakes? Sure. But let's not fetishize failure. Let's not get so comfortable with failure that we use it to excuse mediocrity and broken systems and bokeh lighting.
A popular saying in Silicon Valley these days is: Fail fast, fail often. Such advice is easy to follow when the cost of failure is relatively low, when there's not much more than 1s and 0s at stake and you can always write a new bit of code. But it quickly becomes obvious how terrible an idea it is when failing fast and often means creating basic employment instability for workers, churning out cheap gadgets that just end up in landfills because nobody actually wants them, and burning through natural resources on an already feverish planet in pursuit of get-rich-quick schemes on a massive scale.
Maybe the most obvious result of the fail-fast approach is that soon enough we find ourselves living in a culture of failure, surrounded by discarded half-assed projects and half-baked ideas that don't really satisfy anyone's needs. This is not a culture of innovation and creativity, but of laziness, clutter and distraction. "We'll let the consumers decide. We'll just throw everything against the wall and see what sticks," say the folks with nothing to lose. I have in mind an old sit-com scene where a woman cooking pasta take this advice literally and throws an entire pot of spaghetti against the wall. What do you get? Just a big mess and a bunch of hungry people.
What we may have forgotten along the way is that you have to cook the pasta first. That's what thinking is for, after all: imagining scenarios in your head, playing out different ways things could go, preparing for the possibility that things will go wrong so that when they do you don't end up with marinara sauce dripping from the ceiling. It's much quicker to clean up imaginary messes. So while I admire the can-do spirit that doesn't shy away from failure, I'd like to see more of us taking a moment to figure out what it is we really want, to think through our choices and the costs involved instead of outsourcing that part of the process and trying to rebrand junk as the price of success.
Maybe I'm starting to sound a bit too much like my high school principal, but I guess what I'm trying to say is: The fastest way to fail is to think things through.

The end of an era as another long standing Bristol company calls in the demolition crew and ceases trading!
Fantasy then and now at Sweetington Hall. Curiously the circular copper portraits depicting Queen Elizabeth II appear in the 1899 photo, thirty one years before the Monarch’s birth. Spooky.
I always love it when they include old archive photos in stately home guide books. I like being able to step back in time and notice all the little changes that may have occurred over the years. It is not unusual for me, when visiting such a house, to bemuse/alarm a friend by idly commenting that “in 1880 the curtain tassles were different” or something equally mad.

Letterpress coaster series we produced for Anthem! www.anthemww.com Besides turning out beautifully (mainly due to good appropriate design work) the piece is also a good example of using 2-color printing and other letterpress learning.
I do love reflection shots and mannequins and adore when they come together in an unusual way inside a shot. Who could have foreseen that this seated mannequin would end up with headlights for eyes? Not me--I definitely got lucky here!
This shot that was taken a little while back on Madison Ave. at night. It's one of my least favorite places during the daytime, but one of my favorite places to visit and photograph at night.
I'm realizing that stores must have access to more than one type of mannequin. It's not a question of fashion, as one can have the featureless variety next door to the more humanoid, which we see here. No one has infinite storage space, so I imagine many of the mannequins are rented out for the duration of the window display in question. (I'd have to be there a lot more often to see what kind of mannequins each store uses to see if there are radical differences from one weekly or monthly window display to the next.)
The mannequin's headlight eyes do give her an "otherly" look. Something's not quite right... Is she looking at us or through us? She is definitely eerie-looking--uncanny, as well. Her gaze is disquieting, as if she were a character in a horror film. Her pose is odd as well, particularly her left foot--as if she were about to spring to her feet, and jump through the window...
I think it's the combination of her gaze and her pose that gives her the spooky allure.

The large green hill is just a placeholder from my old layout (no its not the difference!), to gain a visual impression of a large green embankment. The final embankment will look nothing like this one.

Homme de couleur
Quand je suis né, j'étais noir !
Quand j'ai grandi, j'étais noir !
Quand j'ai peur, je suis noir !
Quand je vais au soleil, je suis noir !
Quand je suis malade, je suis noir !
Quand tu es né, tu étais rose !
Quand tu as grandi, tu es devenu blanc !
Quand tu vas au soleil, tu deviens rouge !
Quand tu as froid, tu deviens bleu !
Quand tu as peur, tu deviens vert !
Quand tu es malade, tu deviens jaune !
Et après tout ça,
Tu oses m'appeler,"Homme de couleur " !!!

It's amazing what a difference some paint and determination can make!!!! So pleased with how this turned out. Turns out all those hours in my childhood spent helping/watching my dad restore wooden boats ( his hobby) taught me a thing or two about salvaging furniture. I got the ultimate seal of approval with a WOW! Impressive work! from my dad via text ( which is a huge deal for him to text lol!) I'll be posting some pictures from my real camera soon and some process shots. The secret to a successful furniture flip is NOT SKIPPING STEPS. A few extra hours isn't that bad!
