**Presiona (L) en tu teclado para ver con fondo negro. Luce mucho mejor así.
Mar adentro,
mar adentro.
Y en la ingravidez del fondo
donde se cumplen los sueños
se juntan dos voluntades
para cumplir un deseo.
Un beso enciende la vida
con un relámpago y un trueno
y en una metamorfosis
mi cuerpo no es ya mi cuerpo,
es como penetrar al centro del universo.
El abrazo más pueril
y el más puro de los besos
hasta vernos reducidos
en un único deseo.
Tu mirada y mi mirada
como un eco repitiendo, sin palabras
'más adentro', 'más adentro'
hasta el más allá del todo
por la sangre y por los huesos.
Pero me despierto siempre
y siempre quiero estar muerto,
para seguir con mi boca
enredada en tus cabellos.
.- Ramón Sampedro

The Sea Inside
Inside the sea,
Inside the sea.
And in the weightlessness of the bottom
where dreams come true,
two souls meet to fulfill a single wish.
A kiss lights up life
with a lightning and a thunder,
and in a metamorphosis,
my body is no longer my body.
It is like entering the center of the universe.
The most childish embrace
and the purest of kisses
until we are reduced
by a single desire.
Your gaze and mine,
silently repeating like an echo,
'Deeper', 'Deeper'
beyond all blood and bones.
But I always awake,
and I always want to be dead
to keep my lips forever
entangled in your hair.
.- Ramón Sampedro
I'm not sure if I really like this photo, but I'm posting it anyway as a reminder to myself, and maybe a cautionary tale for others. Today's challenge was "BLACK, WHITE AND GRAINY" so I thought it would be a good chance to use the Film Grain setting in my camera. The setting worked great, but each shot needed, in my opinion, a bit of tweaking. Well, come to find out that using the built-in settings/filter in the camera prevents one from doing any kind of post processing.
The only way I could live with this one was to crop out alot of shadows that were on the right side of the photo instead of lightening them as I normally would, resulting in a rather cycloptic effect. Apart from the cropping and border/signature, this one is SOOC.
Overall, a great big "meh" on this one, but I did learn something about my 2 year old camera so there's the silver lining, and one of the many pluses of Our Daily Challenge group!

Model - Abbie Woodley.
Haven't uploaded in FOREVER.
Its the start of a 2 week Easter Break so i hope i get some new shots of Jess Booth this week.
Unfortunately i will not being shooting Gemma for a long while so expect some new shots of Jess!
This was from a shoot i did yesterday with Abbie which we had a nice catch up. We spent most of the shoot sitting and talking and planning better shoots in the summer. I find it really hard to shoot in sun light so summer is going to be a challenge this year!
It's time to head to the beach. The wind blows through your hair. The warm sun bathes your skin. Soft golden sand caresses your feet. The waves sing to a perfect rhythm and the coconut trees gently sway against the breeze. If you love the sun and the sea, the beach is the right destination for you. So grab your sun tan lotion and your Frisbee and go frolicking to the beach.
Experimenting with flashes and in this case, patience. Unlike the water droplets where droplets were constantly falling, this photo required me to drop the olive with my hand.

a new little lego moc. wanted to keep it simple and use just a some pieces and a minifig and a little lego creature.
To me she looked like a Ballerina with the pot at her hip and the bucket in her hands, her steps were of a dancer! I was thinking if she learns either Baratha Nattiyam or any other dance, she would excel in it.
This sweet girl does her chores around the house before going to school. Her parents are construction workers.

Here is my third and final entry to the tips and bricks contest, a microscale build of set 497 Galaxy Explorer. I made sure to include every detail, from the ship to the base and satellite, to even the small rover. It does fit inside the 20x20x20 requirement, and I made sure that the ship does not extend past the base, which is 20 studs long. This was also my first attempt using a new editing software called gimp.
Thanks for checking it out!
