#193 :O !
thanks flickr :D
sooc,
so when we were raking today we had to fill the trailer woth leaves, and this little flower was in there all alone with a bunch of leaves.
poor flower. ):
I don't know which one I'm keeping,
I had like twenty to pick from and I hate that because I like all of them haha.
I'd like to apologize about how bright it is in the back,
and if your eyes are bleeding again I'm very sorry.
SO hahaha sorry but today I was falling in my bathroom and I grabbed on to the towel rack and pulled one side of it out of the wall... haha, I mean really now... it's like when I'm trying to save myself from dying I break something else,
my mom was like "WHY IS THIS FUNNY TO YOU?! I CAN'T FIX THIS."
Oh goodness.
OH and I have something on my sensor,
so when my dad comes home I gotta get that off,
I'm too afraid to do it myself,
and Regina Spektor's new CD is so amazing,
my friend told me about it and thank goodness she did because I've been listening to it non-stop.

I just want to say that I think half my flickr is pictures of me,

I just feel like self-portrait photography is sometimes easiest for me.
I hope you don't mind.

After visiting an art exhibition at Studio 36 in Exeter yesterday I took a few photos of sculptures in the garden following a torrential downpour.

My brother-in-law is what's termed as an 'operating engineer.' That is, he's qualified to operate some large and heavy construction equipment.
One of the things he likes to show me are the various rock quarries where he's worked in the past. Usually out of sight from the main roads, access to them is most often by way of some obscured, unmarked entrance, often partially hidden by encroaching vegetation.
Depending upon the location, the appearance of the quarry might be an utter scrapheap or rather clean and well-kept as this one seems.
Not one to be too concerned by having to be seen in some status symbol overkill pickup truck, he's pretty content in driving around in this 1990's Ford Explorer. He does live where it snows in the Winter, so it is a 4WD type. Plus it's handy to have that feature when your job takes you into quarries with steep roads and iffy traction.
A 100-foot car - in the photo above, it looks like it's in pretty decent condition at first glance. Zoom in a little, and you'll see that the bodywork is perforated by having spent a couple of decades out during the wintertime when the county routinely salts the roads. Thus it appears quite presentable at 100 feet, but in reality it's a complete beater!
Taken in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah about 40 minutes after midnight with clouds and a bright moon. If you hit "L" to embiggen this image you can see some color in the rock.
Update: This is my second photo to be "Explored" by flickr. Hooah!
Explore # 127, December 31, 2008. My 25th of the year. Thanks to my flickr friends:)
This shot revisits some of my personal favourites. The look down, the footprints in fresh snow and the snow covered bushes. The shadows are an additional bonus! Ive changed this to black and white by draining the colour. Not sure if there is a better way to do this change:)
My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

- La llum no era gaire bona degut als núvols, peró al creuar el pont vaig veure que el reflexe al riu i, aquesta vegada sí, vaig baixar del cotxe per poder fer la foto des del pont. La llàstima és que no ha quedat gaire il.luminada, peró m´agrada com es reflexen la casa i l´arbre :-)
- La luz no era muy buena debido a las nubes, pero al cruzar el puente vi el reflejo en el rio y, esta vez sí, bajé del coche para hacer la foto desde el puente. La lástima es que no ha quedado bien iluminada, pero me gusta como se reflejan la casa y el árbol :-)
To me, it looks like a little mud monster, drowing and calling out for help, lol! Taken at the fascinating Fountain Paint Pot location in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US. More info later about this hot, bubbling mud, but I must get ready to dash out, and the snow is falling (again), so I have to leave enough time to clear my car. Hopefully, it will be just snow and not a layer of almost impossible ice to scrape, too.
Ha, just HAD to share this YouTube video (thanks, Dave!). It never pays to tease a frog!
Shot 8 of 31 in my Black and White October Project
McWay Falls, Big Sur, CA
-----------------------------------
I will be working as a photo guide around Big Sur in early December and we are currently looking for a guide to take over in Yosemite. If you are either interested in participating or think you'd be up for guiding around Yosemite please see below:
Reallyclassglass.com announces their first destination workshop out of the
Kansas City area.
December 1-13, 2011
Depart Kansas City Thursday, December 1, heading to the south rim of the
Grand Canyon via Colorado. Tentative schedule follows:
December 1-2, travel to the Grand Canyon via Colorado.
December 3-4, Grand Canyon, South Rim
December 5, Sedona, Arizona
December 6, travel to Yosemite
December 7-9, Yosemite
December 10-11, Monterey Bay, Big Sur
December 12-13, return to Kansas City via, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado
The fee includes the use of reallyclassglass.com professional Nikkor super
telephoto lenses and Really Right Stuff, tripods and ball heads. Lenses
include the 600 mm F4.0, 400mm F2.8, 300mm F2.8 and 200mm F2.0
We will concentrate on always photographing during the golden hours
surrounding sunrise and sunset. Other photography time will concentrate on
the hours around those key times. We will post process images or travel
during the other hours.
Workshop leaders will assist in all phases of photography to include lens
selection, pre visualizing the image, filters and aperture and shutter speed
selection. Leaders are familiar with Adobe Lightroom 3 and Adobe Photoshop
but do not consider themselves experts. Little time will be devoted to
classroom instruction in post processing.
Participants may choose to ride in a comfortable 15 passenger van from KC or
fly to a destination and we will arrange for a pickup in Arizona or
California.
Destination Workshop Investment: $1,989.00. The fee does not include food
or lodging. Lodging choices during the trip will be national motel chains
such as Super 8, Hampton Inn, Drury Inn, and Comfort Inns. Doubling up is
encouraged to save money.
Deposit: A non refundable deposit of $400.00 is required to hold your spot.
The fee, though not refundable, can be used toward a future destination
workshop should a family emergency cause you to cancel. The deposit is due
by October 15 and the balance will be deducted from your credit card on
November 30.
All participants are required to sign a release of liability statement.
Local guides: Reallyclassglass.com feels it is important to maximize time
photographing and not in searching for the best vantage points. Whenever
financially prudent we will hire local photo guides familiar with the
locations. Mark G, who works for Really Right Stuff, will guide us in
Monterey and Big Sur. We are currently searching for guides for Yosemite and
the Grand Canyon.
Maximum participants, 10, and the minimum for the trip is 3.
Contact: Dave Bryan, reallyclassglass.com, 913-908-4879, dbryan12@kc.rr.com
Destination workshop location highlights.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River is 200 miles long, a mile deep and
from 5-15 miles across. The north rim is closed during the winter season so
we will explore and photograph from the south side. We can descend into the
canyon on Bright Angel Trail for the full 17 mile round trip to the Colorado
River below or depending on time and agility of the participants...do only a
portion of the hike. But you really have not experienced the canyon until
you have walked in it.
Sedona....the red rock spires dominate the landscape and we will see why
this has become a favorite vacation and photographic destination. We'll
also schedule a trip to the ghost town of Jerome, population 403. Steep
streets switchback up the mountain to view the old copper mining town.
Monterey Bay and Big Sur......Carmel, Pebble Beach, Cannery Row, sea lions,
pelagic and shore birds, 17 mile drive scenery, Monterey Bay Aquarium...what
more needs to be said. The Weston Gallery in Carmel features the work of
Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, and prepares us for Yosemite. Mark G will
guide us to some of his favorite photographic sites along Big Sur which
stretches 90 miles south of Carmel from Point Lobos all the way to the
Hearst Castle with 5000 foot mountains rising out of the Pacific Ocean.
Winter in Yosemite...special, quiet....beautiful. Snow....amazingly
different images.
And did we say that all participants may use reallyclassglass.com
professional Nikkor lenses as part of the fee?
The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope.
