Everything else AWAKE course content
I had a plan and this was not it but I will continue to work on my idea.

Everything, everything, everything is over between us, everything
I don't have the strength anymore to believe and hope in everything, everything
Everything, everything, now I tell you everything, everything
Of this emptiness between us, everything, of your desabused hands
Everything, everything that unites us
All that destroys us in the body is now over
All those misunderstood moments, those undecided moments are written
In the past tense today... it's over...
We, we were not like the others, we
We decided to be among others, we, the strongest, the craziest
We, we had nothing to prove
We had nothing to waste, except, except our freedom
We didn't see anything go by, we didn't see anything get torn apart
Not even the strength of these years
We've been playing for all we've got, we've been saying we don't care
We've got the universe all to ourselves, we've got it all
Get out, get out of my blood, my body
Get out, you who still keep me, get out, in the hollow of your regrets
Speak, speak, tell me without trembling
That you don't care anymore, speak, cry and I'll understand
You know, you know, you know I can hear everything
Leave, stay, or even surrender, let the sky above hear me
Everything, everything, everything is over between us, everything
I don't have the strength at all, to believe and hope
Everything, everything, everything is over between us, everything.
Everything, but I keep hoping crazy
That one day we’ll say it again
"We"
Is everything I need

You can turn your back against me
But I am here to stay
Like the sea
She keeps kissing the shoreline
No matter how many times he pushes her away

Change happens. A difficult concept to accept at times.
Off for an MRI of my head. Fingers crossed.
And an election tomorrow. We can do this. Breathe.

Holiday snaps, first two rolls with my new Minolta CLE!
A small shallow pond near a branch of the Copper river. It has small in and outflows and there were many fish, suprisingly.
Inspired by Brain Adams - Everything I do...
At work right now and really missing my mum. Would of been her birthday today. So this on is for her.
Taken using my new studio lights set on full power (reflection in eyes is my arm and cam lol)
... Everything under the sun, come what may!
Two of our grandchildren, beside the sea and 'under the sun' at Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, near Royan in France, ..... way back in 2008 ;-)
This picture has notes. If they are not where they should be when you open the page, going to lightbox and back again should do the trick. It's simply a Flickr quirk. No comment!
View in lightbox and zoom in to have a much closer look!

By the way, I firmly believe that, if Ansel Adams were alive today and could have seen my picture, he would surely have said: "By Jove you're right, it's not knowing where to stand that counts, it's knowing how to sit!" Alas it was not to be and so we must go on believing that: "A good photograph is knowing where to stand".
Life is so unfair :-(

But what is it about the seaside ....?
..... Apart from the fresh sea air, the stroll along The Prom¹, the hot sticky doughnuts, oozing jam and, dare I say it, those even hotter, scantily-clad, sun-tanned, Brazilian beach volleyball players, "oozing charm from every pore." ²
Mmm! What wouldn’t I give for just one of those doughnuts! ;-)
Well one thing's for sure, it's a paradise for the little ones; an ‘island' in the sun with sand galore to build their dreams .... Until, of course, the tide comes in, which in their jargon means: GAME OVER! And which, in turn, implies: back tomorrow, weather permitting ...
And with daddy ... If there's no volleyball! ;-)
Unless, heaven forbid, it's a pebble beach at low tide on a drizzly afternoon where the water's edge is way out on the far side of a vast expanse of mud flats and where wellies and sou’westers are the order of the day :-( Only joking, of course; things could never be that bad, could they? ... Or, could they?
Do let me know if you need sand! I obviously can't send you any but you will have my deepest sympathy. You see, I was born and spent my early childhood within easy walking distance of a pebble beach. The tide was always out and it rained all the time but, as the saying goes, worse things happen at sea - 1939 was drawing to a close :-(
In 1940, with the phoney war behind us, the beach - barricaded to guard against possible invasion - suddenly became "off limits" to everyone, young and old alike :-(
... Except for Dad's Army, of course ;-)
Oh for a stony beach on a wet day! Funny how things always seem to be so much more alluring when they’re out of reach!
Water's edge : That very fine 'dividing line' between land and sea at any given moment in time. And, at this very moment you are witnessing such a moment. Alas, that moment has long since gone for ever but, thanks to photography, its memory lingers on. And thanks to Flickr, I can share it with you, for what it's worth. Isn't life wonderful?
You must be wondering why my 'dividing line' is so straight. Well, my little camera is equipped with a military application in the form of a button which says; "press here to straighten all ground-to-surface demarcation lines". Sounds very technical, doesn’t it? I shouldn't really be telling you all this because it's very hush-hush; so mum's the word. I just wanted you to know that my dividing line represents not only the 'water's edge' in my picture but also the 'cutting edge' of modern, military-orientated, camera technology. Shh!!!
And now, to the strains of the brass bands playing;
"tiddly-om-pom-pom",
I must bid you farewell and thank you for calling.
Till next time, I hope,
Colin …   (ツ)

P.S. A pebble beach (new tab) does have its advantages;
- No sand between toes, up nose or in eyes, ears or sandwiches,
- It's normally free and there's always plenty of space for everyone.
- It's ideal if you are looking for somewhere to do penance
- It's also a good place to build real stone castles, if you feel up to it.
- And, above all, it's just the place to be if you don't like volleyball or
  Brazilians for that matter.
I can't think of any others ;-)) And, in case you're wondering, the photo (of Southsea beach) was taken long before I was born! ;-)
The paddle steamer, along side Clarence Pier in the photo, was used to ferry holiday makers across the Solent to and from the Isle of Wight around 1900 and thus, long before I was born! You've got to believe me! ;-)
Footnotes:
¹ La Promenade
² Not my words, alas, but those of Alan Jay Lerner (My Fair Lady)
BTW, are brass bands still around?
And a few little items I forgot to mention:
• Choc ices, lettered rock, jelly, fish and chips or, if you prefer,
  jellyfish and chips ;-)
• Suntan and/or calamine lotion, whichever is your greater need
  and donkey rides (UK only ;-)
• Amusement parks and arcades, and all the fun of the fair;
  a very quick and efficient way of offloading your petty cash,
  pocket money and bus fare home
• Plastic seashells and souvenirs of local interest, made in China
• Plastic bottles and a variety of other marine debris
• Saucy seaside, "wish-you-were-here", picture postcards
• And, a Brazil T-shirt for Father's Day. Happy memories daddy! ;-)

The best way to view my photostream is to select lightbox, while on full screen, and flip through it by clicking on the arrow to the right of each picture in turn. You can also zoom in on some of the pictures, (about half); this one, for example. This is how I view your pictures!
Everything is a question of perspective... ;o)

In case you were missing something. Contax III, Kirkland Color 100 (expired, made in Germany, probably Agfa), ECN-2 development.
This is part of the floral display on a wedding cake at Oakdene winery, near Torquay on the Great Ocean Road, where we whiled away some time waiting for the weather to clear so we could go out shooting.
