I went to the lake last Wednesday, the day the snow came in - we had 7 inches of snow overnight that night, which is highly unusual for us. Several ducks were enjoying the lake, when they took off en masse. Soon I saw the reason: this bald eagle had flown in to check on the dining options.
Another shot from yesterday morning after I'd been rudely awoken by mother nature. I'm glad I made the effort to get out of bed! Taken at Ocean Reef, Western Australia. For those who are interested, this is a single shot of 30 seconds at f/8, ISO100

The rookery at Resoft consists of three small islands in a relatively small pond. Cattle Egrets (I'd estimate a thousand, maybe more) currently dominate the rookery. A Cattle Egret was photographed ensnared in monofilament (fishing line) hanging from a tree on one of the islands. This distressed bird came to the attention of the authorities who sent workers in boats to free the bird. This intervention (I'd never seen humans on any of the islands before) profoundly disturbed the nesting birds, which took to the air in flocks multiple times as the rescue operation progressed. This photo and the next were taken one tenth of a second apart. They document one of the disturbances. The question is: Is the life of one Cattle Egret worth the disruption to a rookery of a thousand birds? Let me know your opinion. Resoft County Park, Alvin, Texas.
A visit to the forest was very much needed to stretch my legs for an hour. I walked around just as the mist was lifting! But! Just Imagine how it could have looked if I had got there earlier ...And it was really misty!

You can't change anything without causing some degree of disruption. It's impossible, that is exactly what change is. Some people are uncomfortable with the disruption that change causes, but the disruption is necessary if anything is going to change.`(Afeni Shakur)
A new fighter design - perhaps influenced slightly by the the style of craft in the video game "Destiny".
Finally got some parts in to finish my large mecha but I'm deep into a home renovation/rewiring project at the moment, so here is a fighter I managed to get together over the course of the last couple weeks. When I get a break I will resume "mech"ing it up.
Nadine Ijewere is leading the way for a new generation of artists. Through her unique visual language, the 28-year-old British photographer shows that fashion is fun, and beauty multifaceted – regardless of Eurocentric norms. Everything’s possible, there are no limits. Ijewere doesn't care about old rules, she prefers to write her own. Nadine Ijewere shot numerous VOGUE covers and campaigns for brands like Nina Ricci and Stella McCartney. “Beautiful Disruption”, the photographer’s first institutional solo exhibition, is on display at C/O Berlin now.

Emil Ferris is one of those humans who you can just sense their utter brilliance. I literally think it's an amazing gift to share the same respiratory space with such an amazing human. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Emil after the Q and A following The Music Box Theater's documentary of Art Spiegelman entitled Disaster is My Muse (This should be available on PBS in the upcoming months according to the director)
I was telling Emil Ferris about this nonfiction book I was reading called Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck, who speaks about how a creativity cycle can disrupt an anxiety cycle. I think many of us artists in this current political climate are feeling increasingly restless and hopeless. Channeling that into art is a good idea at this time.
In any case, this is a great film and Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters (Book 1 and 2) is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!
In these current times, the monsters are humans who have been given absolute power to enforce their wills and desires on all. Every day is a new horror and destruction of human rights. Some will try to counter this by praying ceaselessly. Others, like myself, will continue to maximize their time on Earth by doing art every spare moment. It is perhaps the only way to cope with the madness of reality and maybe enough of us could create a new world out of the embers left.

in front of the congreso de los diputados in madrid. order and power carved in stone. yet life moves between the lines. a woman with an umbrella, alone in the rain. moments of humanity breaking through the rigid geometry of the facade. flat light, deep shadows. a fleeting moment that disrupts perfection but somehow completes it.
If you click on the image you will see how much electricity was in the air. Tons of little tendrils.
The disruption in the otherwise smooth surface of the lake is due to the recent passage of a Mute Swan.
The technology that powers landline telephones in the UK will be switched off in 2025. Landline operators in the UK will switch every home phone in the UK to an internet-based connection instead of a traditional copper-wire landline.
The main road through the village - closed on and off for over a month! If it hasn't started in your area it will.
I bet this leads to no end of complications (and probably expense).
I wonder if they will take down all the old overhead copper lines? the copper must be worth a fortune, (the telephone network in the UK has been in use since 1876).
What happens in 2023?
September 2023 will see Openreach issue a full ‘Stop Sell’ of new supply and there will be no new lone installation for ISDN.
What happens in 2025?
It will be imperative that you switch to alternative solutions by this date, in order to avoid ultimately being left without a service. Your provider should be aiming to migrate all services and offer alternative solutions.
Salisbury was the first place in the UK to trial a total changeover to VoIP in 2020, and over 95 per cent of its 20,000 premises are now using VoIP.
CSX local L369 disrupts the quiet town of Cloverport as they snake their way along the Ohio river to Owensboro. The CSX Spirit of Our First Responders unit, 911, was leading this day due to some power trouble in Louisville. They had 5,900ft of train and dropped a good portion of that at Skillman.
When I gave a Composition in the Field Class in San Francisco we passed along a bar on the street side of the Ferry Building. It has a nice wall of beer cans. We learned about patterns. Also, a photo with a pattern gets more interesting if there is something that disrupts the pattern, here the water container.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a JPG exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
