Socializing and eating out tonight with some good friends.
This is a fine example of a popular but fake online image trying to impress people who don't give a s... about you: hey, look at me, look how nice, relaxed and easygoing I look and what a great time I'm having!
Of course, I don't show you the other 99.9% of my life where I'm exactly the opposite!
But pessimism and negativity don't sell online.

Morocco. Essaouira.
Essaouira's appeal is its charming blend of 18th-century medina, temperate climate, slightly alternative atmosphere, photogenic port, and wide sandy bay. Add to this the renowned warmth and easygoing nature of the local inhabitants, called Souiris, and it becomes clearer as to why Essaouira (pronounced "Essa-wee-ra") is currently riding the crest of a small tourism wave, becoming more than just a day trip from Marrakech.

You can't really understand the headaches and bated breath of helping to run a trip like this one until you consider all the possible things that could swoop in to throw you off schedule and ruin everything. Like, I dunno, a bicycle race bludgeoning its way right down the street you need to get forty people across in the next thirty seconds. Thankfully, it was a pretty easygoing and low-intensity bike race.
Old.
Jessie & I had a photoshoot downtown a while ago, and I didn't get around to uploading them until recently. I actually had forgotten all about them. But I loved the light in this one.
Could this be more right?? Flattering princess seams. Easygoing zipper front. Sharp collar. Girlish bow tie. Impish pointed cuffs.
Bhutan life.
In most places, one talks of the "clouds above". In Bhutan, there are the "clouds below", too.
...Mme Laza was a delightfully bright-eyed lady in her late forties (knocking at the gnarly portals of old age for a rural Malagasy).
She was the headwoman of a tiny hamlet deep in Madagascar's 'wild west' Bandit country. Even the wispy goatee that curled in a few long hairs from the tip of her chin seemed to sprout forth as a testament to her easygoing attitude. Chattering and laughing all the while she fixed us a meal of rice, cold shredded beef (with congealed lumps of something that I took to be stomach) and bitter cassava leaves. The beef tasted dubiously high and I was pleased when Eloi told me that this was the usual flavour of wild cattle meat.

American singer Bing Crosby (1903-1977) was a crooner whose signature song was 'White Christmas'. He often played 'happy-go-lucky fellas' in films which included the 'Road to...' comedies from 1940 to 1962, but he proved that he could act with The Country Girl (1954) opposite Grace Kelly. Crosby was a multi-media entertainer: a star on the radio, and in the cinema, with chart-topping recordings. He had 38 no. 1 singles, which surpassed Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
Bing Crosby was born Harry Lillis Crosby, Jr. in Tacoma, Washington, in 1903. He was the fourth of seven children of Catherine Helen "Kate" (Harrigan) and Harry Lowe Crosby, a brewery bookkeeper. Crosby studied law at Gonzaga University in Spokane but was more interested in playing the drums and singing with a local band. Bing and the band's piano player, Al Rinker, left Spokane for Los Angeles in 1925. In the early 1930s, Bing's brother Everett sent a record of Bing singing 'I Surrender, Dear' to the president of CBS. His live performances from New York were carried over the national radio network for 20 consecutive weeks in 1932. His radio success led Paramount Pictures to include him in the musical comedy The Big Broadcast (Frank Tuttle, 1932), a film featuring radio favourites. His songs about not needing a bundle of money to make life happy had the right message for the decade of the Great Depression. He was the star of such radio shows as 'Kraft Music Hall' (1935-1946), 'Philco Radio Time' (1946-1949), 'The Bing Crosby Chesterfield Show' (1949-1952), and 'The Bing Crosby Show' (1954-1956). His song 'White Christmas' became the bestselling single for more than 50 years until overtaken in 1997 by 'Candle in the Wind', Elton John's tribute to the late Princess Diana.
Bing Crosby's relaxed, low-key style carried over into the series of 'Road to...' comedies he made with pal Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour. The series consists of Road to Singapore (Victor Schertzinger, 1940), Road to Zanzibar (Victor Schertzinger, 1941), Road to Morocco (David Butler, 1942), Road to Utopia (Hal Walker, 1946), Road to Rio (Norman Z. McLeod, 1947), Road to Bali (Hal Walker, 1952), and The Road to Hong Kong (Norman Panama, 1962). He won the Best Actor Oscar for playing the easygoing priest Father Chuck O'Malley in Going My Way (Leo McCarey, 1944), and was nominated for his reprise of the role in The Bells of St. Mary's (1945) opposite Ingrid Bergman the next year, becoming the first of six actors to be nominated twice for playing the same character. He showed that he was indeed an actor as well as a performer when he played an alcoholic actor down on his luck opposite Grace Kelly in The Country Girl (George Seaton, 1954). Stagecoach (Gordon Douglas, 1966) with Ann-Margret, was his last major film. Though it did not get good reviews, his performance as the drunken doctor was praised. Playing golf was what he liked to do best. Bing Crosby died at age 74 playing golf at a course outside Madrid, Spain, after completing a tour of England that had included a sold-out engagement at the London Palladium. On 13 October 1977, the day before Crosby's death, independent producer Lew Grade announced that he was reuniting Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour onscreen for the film Road to the Fountain of Youth, ending several years of speculation as to whether the trio would reunite professionally or not. Bing Crosby was married twice: first, he married film actress Dixie Lee. They had four children and divorced in 1952. He married his second wife, Kathryn Grant, in 1957. They had three children and remained together till his death in 1977. His eldest son Gary Crosby criticised Bing's violent ways as a father in the biography 'Going My Own Way' (1983) which was touted as a "Daddy Dearest". Bing's children from his second marriage, including daughter and actress Mary Crosby, praised him as a kind and loving father in later life. Phil Crosby, Jr., Bing's grandson, formed a jazz quartet in the Los Angeles area and is bringing a semi-resurgence of interest in Bing and his music.

Bhutan life. The colorful characters are to tell the audience what the audience is likely to meet in the afterlife so that, when it happens, they won't be afraid.

Beans is an easygoing pleasant big guy who is 3 years old, and comes pre-equipped with clown makeup. He came to us from the Lincoln county shelter - he had a brother named Pork (!) who had no such makeup and who was adopted in Lincoln Co. He is heading to his new home 19 May 2015.
Easygoing lace rib cardigan in quick knitting worsted weight. Worked seamlessly from the bottom up with raglan shaping and crew neck. Stockinette side panels make waist shaping easy, and simple ribbed edgings are classic and neat. The long sleeves are worked in Stockinette Stitch with a lace rib accent panel.

Young beautiful woman embracing her boyfriend. Pretty young guys looking at camera and smiling near the easel outdoors, their t-shirts colorised by themselves.
I had a photoshoot yesterday with a 4.5 month old baby girl, whose parents I know. The pictures are set to be Christmas gifts for grandmas & grandpas. :)
This session was the easiest session I have done yet. It took less than an hour to do, and she was really easygoing and happy for nearly every second of the shoot. Plus, she's adorable!
I had fun and I think her parents are pleased with the results -- which pleases me! :)

Welcome to Bayamo
Elegant and old, this relatively hush city spells oasis to the traveler weary of confrontation. Predating both Havana and Santiago, it has been cast for time immemorial as the city that kick-started Cuban independence. Yet self-important it isn't. The ciudad de los coches (city of horsecarts) is an easygoing, slow-paced, trapped-in-time place, where you're more likely to be quoted literature than sold trinkets. Cuba's balmiest provincial capital, it resounds to the clip-clop of hooves; nearly half the population use horses for daily travel.
Bayamo has played a sacrificial role in Cuba's convoluted historical development. 'Como España quemó a Sagunto, así Cuba quemó a Bayamo,' (As the Spanish burnt Sagunto, the Cubans burnt Bayamo) wrote José Martí in the 1890s. While an 1869 arson blaze destroyed many of the city's classic colonial buildings, there's still plenty left. Neither did it undermine Bayamo's intransigent spirit or its long-standing traditions." - Lonely Planet
Bhutan life. School. Bhutanese children are reasonably bilingual (read, write, understand and speak) from the second grade on up. This is more than can be said for most other nations' seven-year-olds.
