You can see an artist drawing this ballerina (and part of another, as well), if you look in the mirror. I shot this during one of our group's weekly life drawing sessions. I have a painting partially completed that duplicates this composition, and the photo was intended for reference in finishing the little painting. However, I kind of like it just as is -- as a photograph. I hate it when that happens. I lose some of my motivation to paint, when the photo works. In the painting, I would use a limited palette -- but here, there's a limited palette as well. So what is the function of the painting? You see what I mean? I'd leave the artists out -- would that make it better?

Day 33 of 365 – INHALATION APPARATUS
After having taken part in spin class for the last couple of years; on the recommendation of my friend Keith, I decided to try the step class with him. Now I think I’m decent shape, and my stamina has always been pretty good; so I figured what the hell…..”LET’S DO THIS!”
We started off nice and slow. Up, Up, Down, Down, Up..Up…Down…..Down. Piece of cake! Then it started……..And we’re off! That’s right OFF. I was totally OFF! They went up, I was going down. They spun right, I spun left. They kicked, I was stepping. Oh my god, I was spinning in circles.
As the class wasn’t a complete failure, towards the end I actually started to catch on to some extent. Talk about an extreme workout. I was actually enjoying it; however stupid I may have appeared. About 8 mins before class was over (in the HIGH INTENSITY portion) I realized I was seeing little white stars. “Holy crap……this can’t be good. Ok think quick, think quick! You can walk out now; OR you can pass out in about 15 seconds!” So I swallowed my pride (as I was one of only two guys in the class) and walked to the hidden alcove and sat down on the cooooool tile. After 8 mins or so I had marginally recovered; just in time for class to end. I spent the remainder of the evening re-hydrating and recalculating, and soaking my calves……lol. (Not really, but I should have)
Lesson learned: Eat plenty of complex carbs the morning of step class; I’m going to need that extra energy! WHEW…..spin class has NOTHING on step!
Oh yea, I’m secure enough to take a step class with 25 woman in the fish bowl (the room with the mirrors on three sides and the plate looking glass on the fourth) and then write about almost passing out. That’s right…..That’s how I roll!

End of January 1895, seven vessels including the Elizabeth have suffered a delay because of the frozen Rhine. The ship was loaded with dynamite, a total of 150,000 kg. At the Elizabeth 20 boxes with 866 kg of dynamite sticks exploded.
16 persons were involved in this accident which killed 13 and wounded 3.
Today, only this part of the wreck of the "De Hoop" is visible at very low water. So you can still take a look at this disaster of 115 years ago.

Petra is a famous city carved out of stone, hidden by towering sandstone mountains in Jordan. This lost 'red city' comprise far more than people generally imagine, Petra is covering a significantly vast area hidden in the mountains of Wadi Musa.
The name Petra, which means "rock" in Greek and Latin (derived from the word petrae), is actually a modern name for the place. This is because the city was carved from the friable sandstone cliffs of the area. The rocks take on a multitude of hues ranging from cream to orange, to red, and to dark brown. Layers of these rocks form whorls of colours which were incorporated into the Nabatean architecture.
If you want to see such a view you'll have to go to Marriott hotel above Petra. Even thought you still have to get up pretty early to capture the sunrise and early morning light, this was one of the easiest shoots I've done in long time. I have purposely stayed in this hotel so I could only walk outside on the hotel terrace to be able to capture such a view. I was lucky with the dramatic light this time, even thought the weather was equally same dramatic and very windy. If you are planning to visit Petra in February be ready for fog, rain, wind, even a snow (I've experienced all of it in one day).
Ancient city of Petra is hidden within those mountains.

Under the hush of a winter sky, the field is both stage and silence. All eyes rest on one boy, a single figure beneath the floodlights, shouldering the quiet weight of the moment. Behind him, the team waits. Before him, the dark stretches long. And the ball...waits to be lifted into flight by courage.

Il existe des instants où le corps ne danse plus pour être regardé.
Il danse pour résister.
Chaque mouvement devient une réponse au chaos, une lutte silencieuse contre ce qui cherche à nous faire vaciller. Suspendue entre équilibre et chute, la danseuse trace dans l'espace une géographie fragile faite de courage, de tension et d'abandon.
Les lumières semblent l'encercler comme autant de présences invisibles, mais elle continue d'avancer, portée par une force intérieure que rien ne peut éteindre.
Dans cette posture incertaine réside toute la beauté de la danse : accepter le déséquilibre pour mieux trouver sa vérité.
Parce que parfois, la grâce ne naît pas de la perfection.
Elle naît du combat.
EN There are moments when the body no longer dances to be seen.
It dances to endure.
Every movement becomes an answer to chaos, a silent struggle against whatever seeks to make us fall. Suspended between balance and collapse, the dancer draws a fragile map through space, shaped by courage, tension, and surrender.
The lights seem to surround her like unseen presences, yet she keeps moving forward, carried by an inner force that refuses to fade.
Within this uncertain posture lies the true beauty of dance: embracing imbalance in order to find truth.
Because sometimes grace is not born from perfection.
It is born from the struggle.
Sometimes the smallest faces carry the biggest emotions.
In this quiet moment, tears tell a story words cannot. Vulnerability, innocence, and resilience meet in a single expression. There is no performance here. No posing. Just pure feeling, captured as it happened.
I am drawn to moments like this because they remind us that strength is not always loud. Sometimes it lives in softness. In honesty. In letting ourselves feel.
This portrait is part of my ongoing fine art work exploring childhood emotion, connection, and human vulnerability through natural light and intimate framing.
Thank you for taking a moment to pause here with me.

This appears to be a staged event or party portrait of two women posed behind a set of vertical metal bars, with a dense web of fluorescent pink, yellow, and green string stretched across the frame.
The scene has a strong club / performance / Halloween / neon-party feel.
The woman on the left is wearing a green-and-black patterned dress with black lace sleeves and a bright neon fishnet wrist cuff.
She has curly hair, vivid eye makeup, and red nail polish.
The woman on the right is wearing a black dress with a deep neckline and is holding one of the bars while looking downward with a slight smile.
The bars and string create a visual impression of captivity, entanglement, or a human spiderweb.
The lighting looks like direct flash, which makes the skin, metal bars, and fluorescent strings stand out sharply against the darker background.
Compositionally, the image is busy, graphic, and high-contrast, with the string web acting as both foreground texture and conceptual framing.

In the silence of an afternoon, he rests—not out of laziness, but reflection.
Every wrinkle on his face is a line in a story unwritten. A stare shaped by the noise he’s endured, the love he’s absorbed, and the time he’s held still in his chest.
He doesn’t ask for your attention. He doesn’t perform.
He just is—present, heavy, seen.
This is Ncop. And this is what quiet strength looks like.

With Ruth Ann driving in North Dakota last October as we headed home from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, after visiting my brother and sister-in-law, I took several shots of the interesting clouds and light; the sun broke through for this shot and imparted a nice glow to the fields. Taken along US 281/US 52 SE of Carrington, between 1st St SE and 2nd St SE (see map).

I'm finally getting around to putting together a slide show of our trip to red rock country in the fall of 2012, and I came across this image from Canyonlands National Park in Utah. As a confirmed procrastinator, I put it off as long as I could, but I have a deadline. We don't get much weather in San Diego county where I live, so it was pretty exciting for us when the thunder and lightning started shortly after this picture was taken.
Taken on a stormy day at Canyonlands National Park.

'Balikhela' is one of the oldest and most popular traditions of Bengal's folk culture. Recently, this festival of life was organized in a rural town in the golden light of dusk. Thousands of eager people gathered to watch the fierce and heroic fight.
Although this game was once organized for the entertainment of the landlords of Bengal, it has now become a symbol of the unity and bravery of the people of rural Bengal.
