I ,a shy and quiet boy since young, was a target of the bullied throughout my 8 years of childhood. The memories of being bullied continuously have had a little or more effect on my confidence and activeness. I shut myself off from the society, claimed myself a weak person and brought myself with a gloomy, tired and scary look.
I’ve never believed in myself…
I came to photography when my dad lent me his camera when I was 6. From the first clicks, I already felt "this is where I belong". Photography helps me recreating the world seen through my eyes and felt by my soul, helps me remembering faces, smiles, memories of a passing time. And it even reminds of the things which are supposed to be forgotten.
I chose dark art because dark art is a fine illustration of the world I am seeing - a world of melancholy and sadness. Through dark art, I can dig deep into the darkest place of a human, right there, people are living in the own nature: weak, crazy and also vulnerable. Being an introvert person, dark art is also a way of relieving the soul, showing people who I am, what I am and what I’m capable of - something that I rarely share with anybody. As a result, I became more open with everyone, gave more laughs and talked more to the people around me. "You look way more better then?" - my friends said in satisfaction.
I never stop doubting myself ...
I’ve been reeling from my "what should I do" and "I’m not good enough" thinkings, which makes me deviate from my original path. Always wish to be like other photographer pals: big relationships, big interacts and having a support team while I am alone all the time,… I gradually forget that I’ve lost myself, forgotten that my path was different from all of them. I am an independent existence, I exist uniquely and I should’ve not been anyone’s copy. It’s been a difficult time right now, I was once again separated myself from everyone, even the ones I love so much. Always bringing suspense and fear of any situations. And even when writing these words, those emotions are making my hands shake and my heart beats so fast.
I know that there aren’t any obstacles that cannot be overcome if I dare to face, and I know that nothing can stop me if I truly believe that I can do it in my heart. However, "How?", "How can I really believe in myself?”, "How can I become more confidence?", "How can I make this? "How can I do that ...?", “How…?”, “How…?” and "How ...?". I’ve spent a great deal of time resting, thinking and rearranging things that were still unfinished. Those fears are still here, those thoughts are still here, and the answer I still cannot find out but at least this time I will try, something at least makes me feel better. And I hope someday I can find my own answer and be happy with it.

MY FRIENDS, IN THIS DAYS I AM OFTEN THINKING ON HOW RELATED the events of our personal life and our world ARE ( wars, tragedies, earthquakes here and there, floods, hurricanes etc..)
IT MAKES MY FEEL VERY "SMALL ".
I WISH YOU A THOUGHTFUL WEEK!
The butterfly effect is a metaphor that encapsulates the concept of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory; namely that small differences in the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system.
The term "butterfly effect" itself is related to the work of Edward Lorenz, and is based in chaos theory and sensitive dependence on initial conditions, already described in the literature in a particular case of the three-body problem by Henri Poincaré in 1890[1]. He even later proposed that such phenomena could be common, say in meteorology. In 1898[2] Jacques Hadamard noted general divergence of trajectories in spaces of negative curvature, and Pierre Duhem discussed the possible general significance of this in 1908[3]. The idea that one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect on subsequent historic events. [WIKI]
Yes, I realise this topic has already been talked over many times on our humble photo gallery. This time however, we have another big developement in front of us.
The famous Polish ban on photography had not really been in power, no matter what any person said. You were fully permitted to photograph anything you want, as long as you were on public grounds, which is a reasonable idea. All is to change now though.
My first post in this "no photo" topic has been published on 6.02.2024, when the Polish Ministry of National Defence published a draft of the ordinance containing the description of a "Photography forbidden" sign, along with many other things. This ordinance is what is required for the photo ban to be implemented in practice, as per a law published all the way back in 2022. The draft remained all that, just a draft, up until... this very day, 3.04.2025. It is now a full-blown ordinance of the allmighty Minister himself.
The published version can be seen on the official government service Dziennik Ustaw - dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU
The ordinance itself, numbered 432 can be seen here - dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU/2025/432 - contains a PDF file with the ordinance and a graphical display of the sign.
From now on, any person responsible for the security of an object of critical infrastructure (whatever that means...) will be able to hang out these legal signs and there is nothing the poor citizen can do about this, even when standing on public grounds.
*The ordinance comes into effect 14 days after its publishing, you have time until the 17th of April. For real now.*

the cheetahs were one of the only big cats out and roaming while we were visiting the Cape May Zoo today.
I was challenging myself at trying to shoot "out" the fence, by focusing through the holes in the chain links. I thought the effect here was interesting.
Almost like the cat is walking through an opening, or is on this side of the fence.
Not the heat effect but the light: confused, and even more confused shadows... The mural remains a distant detail...
This is allegedly CSX train Q639, headed to TRRA's Madison Yard from Rose Lake Yard at CP Junctionon the Illinois Transfer...but from this angle, looks like vintage BNSF.
Progress Rail Leasing has the market on motive power this day, with former ATSF SD75Ms 238, 231, and 250 doing the honors, and all in their as-built numbers, not counting a brief encounter with the number "8" during their reign on BNSF.
Luckily, the clouds from winter storm Avery have rolled back just in time for a bit of sun before sunset.

Lotus leaf and water droplet: ultrahydrophobicity
Lotus leafes show up ultrahydrophobicity, that means that a water droplet has a contact angle > 160 degrees, and there is no wetting of the surface.
Lotus leaves have a micro-nano structure. The micro structure shows up as tiny balls with an diameter around 10 microns and an average distance of 20 microns. This structure is made visible with a rather low magnification objective (7.5x) here, but with the help of a very small water droplet (diameter 0.2 mm), which is used as an additional lens, the micro-structure becomes visible.
On top of this micro-structure is an even smaller nano structure of small wax particles, which can not be seen here.

500PX,
There are two Disney Store Limited Edition Brave items that were first noticed on the US Disney Store website on May 14, 2012, but were not part of the new arrivals group. In fact, when they were first noticed (by browsing on keyword 'brave') they were both already sold out. By next day, they were already not searchable by keyword (but the pages were still viewable via a direct link or product code). I wonder whether these were actually for sale at some earlier date, or are merely placeholders for a future release.
The items and web links to them are as follows:

My friend, "pixels in my head" sent me a tutorial for the "lomo effect" and I had to try it. The original version of this image is posted 5 photos before this one. I don't know if I accomplished the desired effect, but it is fun. Please check out Dewaun's photostream to see his lomo effect image:

He has also posted the tutorial website.
What do you think? I'm going to have to experiment some more...
Feeling a little derailed this weekend.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Sliders Sunday.

So tried to follow Mr. Emerson's advice here and go down a bit different processing road. This is a few blocks away from our house, a few days after we got all the snow. I forget where we were coming back from, but the snow looked so cool coming down and on the road!
Let me know what you guys think!
