Big storm going on in Jersey tonight.. last night also. Tornado warnings. Hopefully all is well, and nobody gets any serious damage. (These storms have really caused some issues for many areas).
>>We're about to head to bed!
Back to work tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great week!
Just a simple candid street style Snapograph taken at London UK of an Artist that is disabled but hugely talented, being able to draw with his hands and his feet. This guy is not homeless and yes I did ask first if I may photograph him and thanked him by way of purchasing one of his creations.

>>This photo was a submission for this week's challenge on 52Frames.com . The subjecft was "RED".
- I used my brand new 24" reflectors that I just got in the mail.
>>> (This was shot inside using direct sunlight from the open door & bouncing it off of my silver reflector... ) Also the nail polish was shot using white printer paper as the background (3 sheets) and I photoshopped out the lines. .
I just wanted to say.. I am quite happy with how the lighting came out here for this, using the reflectors.. *In my opinion*, it looks pretty close to studio light (on a smaller scale of coarse).
I got the reflectors for headshot/ portraits outdoors with lighting issues. I can always "edit it later" yeah, but why have more work for myself if I can kind of correct it during the shoot? Exactly!
I plan on getting some bigger reflectors now.. Now that I know how much I love them! :) Very cool. I'm happy.
& Yes I plan on buying (within the next month or so) some new studio strobes (going to start with one.. and probably go up from there after I figure out what I want/need.
- It feels good to be able to get the things I need for my photos, and try new things... Teach myself some new techniques. And get what I need/want for my photography & not worry about it disappearing.. (like before).

Next week I'm getting together with someone and we're doing some product photography for her business. It's going to be great, I'm REALLY looking forward to it! (& If we have time we might do her business portraits as well, that day.. IF NOT we could always do them the next week, ya know!)
I've never felt so good with my photography. Because I'm doing what I love. The right way. Clear mind. Creative mind. Having fun, learning.. and growing.

>> I believe this is a "muscovy duck". The photo was taken at the Hammonton Lake Park, in Atlantic County, New Jersey, USA.
Photo backstory:
Years ago someone dropped off two of these ducks to the park. They were a big hit and everyone loved them. Most of us had never seen ducks like this before, not in this area anyway. We had all guessed that someone had gotten these ducks at pets and didn't have a place for them as adults, so they dropped them in the Hammonton Lake Park. (I grew up on and used to live on Park Avenue, right down the street). Anyhoo, these two ducks flourished at the lake for a couple years at least.. (Even though very native to this area. I hear). I hear they usually live in China, Japan, North Korea and other areas..
The locals, including myself, fed these ducks daily. I'm not sure where they kept warm in the winter, but I am almost positive that the locals must have made sure these ducks stayed warm.. because like I said they were doing VERY WELL there for at least a couple of years!
One day when I went to the park to take photographs, feed the ducks and walk around.. I noticed that this duck was alone now. *Very sad*. All by himself, he seemed so lonely. Because he was totally alone, he was A LOT more tame than before.. *And they were always very tame*. But he literally followed me everywhere. I fed him, and he kept following me making noises.. I'll never forget it. So I walked over to the senior center (which is in the park by the lake, where the duck resided) because I knew if anyone knew what happened, the seniors and people who run the establishment on the lake WOULD KNOW. I asked them what happened to the other duck. They told me that, (They Heard) That lose dogs went after the ducks.. and captured one and ate him alive. They said all they seen were feathers! *I was horrified.
This saddened me so much.
Now, many of you are not familiar with Hammonton (where I grew up and still work now).. and I'm telling you all now.. lose dogs attacking animals or people in Hammonton is NOT impossible but VERY rare. >>If your dog is caught off a leash and wandering, the police are called and you can pick up your little one at the police station.. I'm sure if this happens multiple times you will be fined, etc. I'm not sure the ins and outs of it, but I do know that you're not supposed to have lose dogs in town.. So this was a crazy thing to happen, and so sad. So for the next year or so.. I would go back and visit this lonesome - handsome - unique duck and feed him, talk to him.. and photograph him. He was just the sweetest thing. He never stopped talking and waddling after me/and others. He was adorable. As soon as I pulled in, he'd come waddling over for the bread I had in tow (he knew). He became my little buddy !
But then one day he was gone. Some days he'd disappear and reappear.. but he never came back. I went back multiple times, and never seen him since. I often wonder what happened to him.. I asked, nobody knew. Maybe someone picked him up, or grabbed him for dinner (insane but possible). But it was heartbreaking for me, because I became very attached to him.. as I'm sure many park visitors did too.
RIP Sweet Mongolian Ducky. You were such a sweetheart. Whatever happened, I just pray that you didn't suffer.

I hope that you all are having a fantastic week. Happy Wednesday! Today is my technical "Friday".. However my two days off from my deli job are the beginning of my busy schedule outside of the deli. Doctors, OTHER appointments, (keep in mind I have appointments for everything from hearts, to eyes, to feet... for ME, JUAN & MY DAD) So... I have all those appointments, any and all errands we have to run, my photography jobs, any dog appointments for Reese (which we do have one tomorrow actually!) and anything else you can think of... I usually use that time *in between my busy appointments and house cleaning etc.. to CATCH UP ON MY PHOTO CHALLENGES! If I get the time...
Anyway.. so it might be my "Friday", but as many people don't even think to consider.. It is also the beginning of my crazy errands that I have to squeeze into a two day window!
I'm sure Juan gets quite annoyed sometimes, when we have multiple appointments.. and have to run all over -driving etc. Especially, because he drives me to and from work all week too... And where ever else he needs to go.. Yes I'll be getting my license back again one day soon.. that's on my *shrinking* list of stuff TO GET DONE. (I've been getting so much done on that list, so grateful!)
Anyhoo.. been very busy these past few weeks.. Trying to get everything done! And I'm really proud of myself that I've gotten so much done on that list (in the past couple of weeks)..
Because of the size and the content of the list, honestly I felt a bit overwhelmed and I was procrastinating with a lot of it.. because I didn't know where to begin and I was a little scared of beginning the process.. *It seemed hard*. It wasn't exactly easy, but I did start to get the main most important items on the list DONE.. and I'm super proud of myself for that!
Still got a good bit of things on that list that I gotta do, and soon.. So crossing my fingers and praying for the strength to continue on.. and not let myself feel overwhelmed and push it off any longer. I gotta get it done! So my next two days are going to be filled with THAT also...

DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES; THANK YOU FOR VIEWING, FAVING AND COMMENTING MY DIGITAL OBSERVATIONS.
As 95% of all international flights are cancelled, every available parking bay is filled with redundant aircraft. An eerie sight.
It started off grey and miserable first thing but by the time we had finished our shopping and headed for the coast the sun was shining and the temperatures we in the mid twenties. We had a lovely long walk along the beach at West Wittering which at this time of year is a dog walkers paradise. We were just getting in the car when we saw a two dogs 'running' along having a great time. Only difference was these two had wheels at the back. The one you see in the photo here is Jasper and the little one behind is Otto. I got talking to the guy who was walking them and he told me they were from a charity he helps run called Broken Biscuits who take care of disabled dogs (and cats). These dogs were having a great time. Check out their Facebook page.

Changed this one to photo of the day! Seems to represent the day better!
I had another one where they posed for me, but I seem to like the unposed versions better most of the time. More natural and real.
