The text describes me quite well:
I've been tryna call
I've been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I'm going through withdrawals
You don't even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
I look around and
Sin City's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
I'm running out of time
'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby,
I'm just calling back to let you know
I could never say it on the phone
Will never let you go this time
::Tom::
my eyes change color. they're either both green, both blue, or one is green and one is blue. tonight, they are the latter.
so my question to you is this: if eyes are windows to the soul, what does this say about me?
*Explored: Reached #178
There are times when you wonder if you can go on; wonder if there is anything left worth living for. Wonder if you will ever find true happiness again.
You shink inside yourself, alone and silent in your thoughts, searching for some hope. You feel drained and tired of life, trapped in the hole you have fallen into. Your head drops, you look at your feet. You hide your eyes that brim with tears from the pain. You despair for a voice.
Someone just to say, "You OK?"
That's all it takes. It's the start of a fix. Talking. Reaching out. Just to say, "I know how you feel". That's what friends are for.
We all go there. But the world is a better place when we pass a stranger and say "Hi" and smile. It keeps us all a bit happier.
The Zappeion Exhibition Hall was the first building in the world to be constructed in order to serve Olympic needs. Its architecture is in the neoclassical order, with a Corinthian portico, and an organization of spaces that is fully in harmony with the purpose for which it was built. This building, the three-arched stone bridge over the Ilissus River that had been repaired, also at the expense of Evangelis Zappas, and the surrounding gardens give us a charming picture of Athens in the early 20th century. The building has had a turbulent history, but no less so than the uses to which it was put. Rarely did it fulfill its initial purpose, and indeed it remained closed and deserted for years. During the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, the fencing events were hosted in its circular atrium; during the second International Olympic Games in 1906, the lack of infrastructure and facilities led to its being used as the "Olympic Village". In addition, starting in 1936 and for the next 40 years, it hosted the country's first state radio station. In 1940 it was converted into a hospital; the following year it was commandeered by the German occupation army after which it became a storehouse and later a barracks (1944). It was even bombed during the same year. After the war, the possibility was discussed of demolishing it. Fortunately, in 1960, general repairs were carried out under the supervision of architects A. Ploumistos and F. Panagiotopoulos. The most recent renovation was carried out in connection with the Olympic Games of 2004 which were held in Athens. The Zappeion Exhibition Hall has witnessed the history of Athens for the past 120 years. It has been a key site for some of the nation's most significant moments, and has always been integrally linked to the Olympic Movement. Even though its uses were varied, it has become a landmark in the Greek capital, thus fulfilling the donor's initial wishes...

Athens, Greece...
It's days like today I don't want to take my picture.

Andrew Bird - Imitosis
Bright Eyes - Waste of Paint
Etta James - Woke Up This Morning
Laura Marling - New Romantic
This image speaks of what I am feeling today – a bit droopy, a bit bluesy. But I know that this too shall pass.
Took this just this morning after the rains let up and before they started again. Didn’t do much in terms of post processing (are you taking note, sharaff?). Just converted my RAW image into JPEG using Lightroom.
I hope you all are keeping well, my friends, and not letting the rains or the snow or the grey clouds, or whatever bad weather you find yourself in, dampen your spirits. I owe many of you a visit, but I promise that I will pop in soon. Enjoy Friday and the coming weekend!

Looking down at Nicholas feeling down and looking down.
I got Nicholas to model for me again. I wish my other two "dumplings" would be as easy to photograph as him.
P.S No children were harmed in the making of this photograph.

Edit: There were some concerns about my personal well being because of this photo. I thought the meaning was obvious, but apparently that's not the case. This isn't a self-harm or suicide photo in any way. This photo is depicting my personal feelings of heartache and regret with regards to past relationships, and the visualization that heartache feels like a knife through the heart. It's a visual metaphor. At no point in time was there a knife blade anywhere close to touching me, and it was a pretty dull knife anyway. I appreciate the concern for my health, but it seemed to be directed in a manner that I should take down my photo instead of expressing myself artistically...which is not going to happen. This stays here.
From a technical perspective, this was fun to shoot.
I was originally going to have one clone stabbing another clone in the heart through a mirror, but I haven't figured out how to photoshop the clones to interact on such a direct level yet and actually make it look good. With mirrors, as far as I can tell, I need to shoot the action separately without a real mirror and then composite the shot into the photo where the mirror would be. This being mirror shots where someone is reaching through the mirror.
For anyone that notices a difference in image quality or lighting, I shot this on a Canon 40D with a Sigma 10-20mm (at 10mm) and a Canon 430EXII flash pointed straight up at the ceiling with a Gary Fong diffuser to distribute the light a bit more evenly. Some of the shadows in this shot are real, and others added in post. I think my shadow work is improving, but still not the best it can be yet.
Also, a good use for my "I <3 NY" shirt.
I am so distracted and uncreative today that I do not like anything I am doing for some reason. I really wish I could get outside to take some shots but there is nothing but rain and YUCK! ARGH!

I have been feeling pretty down lately. I don't know if it is from the recent visit come down or the lack of friendship I seem to be experiencing. I wonder how much of it is me isolating myself or if I am just not a good person.
This is how I feel today for some reason. I just have absolutely no energy. It is Christmastyme and I have no energy. What is wrong with me! Somebody Slap Me!

Every day has its own surprises its own way of joy or sadness.... you can't control it but you can choose whether to standstill or to continuo the journey....
Things can't be perfect always.... so don't let one frailer stops you from being the one you want to be don't let anything get your spirit down keep on to reach your goals .

SETUP
D300 w/50mm onfloor propped up on my USB drive (sweet mcgyver tripod!)
2 SB600's camera left and right at 1/4 power each zoomed to 85mm
This weather I could almost stand
If the sun would shine a little brighter
Or even if the sun would shine at all
But lately it just seems to me
That this life has lost its mystery
And these cold fall mornings seem to bite
Just a little bit harder
And all my friends have settled down
Become their mothers and their fathers
Without a sound
Except for Cathy,
She bought a one-way subway ticket
And left us all behind

Siempre es preciso saber cuando se acaba una etapa de la vida.
Si insistes en permanecer en ella, mas allá del tiempo necesario, pierdes la alegría y el sentido del resto.O cerrando puertas. O cerrando capítulos. Como quieras llamarlo. Lo importante es poder cerrarlos. Lo importante es poder dejar ir momentos de la vida que se van clausurando. ¿Terminas con tu trabajo? ¿Se acaba la relación? Ya no vive más en esa casa? ¿Debes irte de viaje? ¿La amistad se acaba? Puedes pasarte mucho tiempo de tu presente revolcándote en los "porques"; en devolver el cassette y tratar de entender por que sucedió tal o cual hecho.
El desgaste va a ser infinito porque en la vida, tu, yo, tu amigo, tus hijos, todos y todas, estamos abocados a ir cerrando capítulos. A pasar la hoja. Al terminar con etapas o con momentos de la viday seguir para adelante. No podemos estar en el presente añorando el pasado. Ni siquiera preguntándonos por qué. Lo que sucedió, sucedió.
Y hay que soltar, hay que desprenderse. No podemos ser niños eternos, ni adolescentes tardíos, ni empleados de empresas inexistentes, ni tener vínculos con quien no quiere estar vinculado a nosotros.
No. Los hechos pasan y hay que dejarlos ir!
Por eso a veces es tan importante romper fotos,quemar cartas, destruir recuerdos, regalar presentes, cambiar de casa. Papeles por romper, documentos por tirar, libros por vender o regalar. Los cambios externos pueden simbolizar procesos interiores de superación.
Dejar ir, soltar, desprenderse.
En la vida nadie juega con las cartas marcadas y hay que aprender a perder y a ganar. Hay que dejar ir, hay que pasar la hoja, hay que vivir solo lo que tenemos en el presente. El pasado ya paso. No esperes que te devuelvan, no esperes que te reconozcan, no esperes que alguna vez se den cuenta de quien eres.
Suelta. El resentimiento, el prender su televisor personal para darle y darle al asunto, lo único que consigue es dañarlo mentalmente, envenenarlo, amargarlo.
La vida está para adelante, nunca para atrás. Porque si andas por la vida dejando puertas abiertas, por si acaso, nunca podrás desprenderte ni vivir lo de hoy con satisfacción.
Noviazgos o amistades que no clausuran, posibilidades de regresar... ¿a que?,
necesidad de aclaraciones, palabras que no se dijeron, silencios que lo invadieron. Así puedes enfrentarlos ya y ahora, házlo! Si no, déjalo ir, cierra capítulos. Díte a tí mismo que no, que no vuelve. Pero no por orgullo ni por soberbia sino porque tu ya no encajas allá,e n ese lugar, en ese corazón, en esa habitación, en esa casa, en ese escritorio,en ese oficio, tu ya no eres el mismo que se fue, hace dos días, hace tres meses, hace un año, por lo tanto, no hay nada a que volver.
Cierra la puerta, pasa la hoja, cierra el circulo. Ni tu serás el mismo ni el entorno al que regreses será igual, porque en la vida nada se queda quieto, nada es estático. Es salud mental, amor por ti mismo desprender lo que ya no está en tu vida.
Recuerde que nada ni nadie es indispensable. Ni una persona, ni un lugar, ni un trabajo, nada es vital para vivir porque cuando tu vinistes a este mundo llegaste sin ese adhesivo, por lo tanto es costumbre vivir pegado a el y es un trabajo personal aprender a vivir sin el, sin el adhesivo humano o físico que hoy te duele dejar ir.
Es un proceso de aprender a desprenderse y humanamente se puede lograr porque, te repito, nada ni nadie nos es indispensable. Solo es costumbre, apego, necesidad. Pero... cierra, clausura, limpia, tira, oxigena, despréndete, sacude, suelta...Hay tantas palabras para significar salud mental y cualquiera que sea la que escojas, te ayudará¡ definitivamente a seguir para adelante con tranquilidad.

She is Roosa. Have you met her? If you have, then great. Isn't she lovely? If you haven't, too bad, you're missing out a lot. Roosa wanted me to take some photos for her school project and here's two of my favorites.

Ce n'est pas le vent qui souffle de plus en plus d'air froid qui me glace le sang.
C'est l'idée de me retrouver là.
De renouer avec ce monde parallèle que l'on appelle un service spécialisé de transport adapté.
Spécialisé à nous isoler.
Spécialisé à rendre ça normal.
Un jour faudra ben se spécialiser nous autres aussi.
Se spécialiser à prendre le contrôle.
Se spécialiser à nous libérer.
