This is a beautiful castle commanding a high position on a cliff in the historic Loire Valley of France overlooking the city of Saumur. This photo was taken from the window of our room at the hotel Anne d'Anjou which I would highly recommend for the staff, comfort, food and location.
Originally built in the 10th century by Thibault le Tricheur the Comte de Blois, the castle was destroyed in battle in 1076. Henry II (plantagenet) rebuilt in the 12th century, Phillip II of France retook the castle as part of France in the 13th century.
By 1589 it fell into the hands of King Henry de Navarre, notorious in the French wars of religion and the first Protestant king of France.
By 1621 the castle had been turned into an army barracks, then later a state prison by Napoleon Bonaparte. The most notorious figure to live in the Chateau was the Marquis de Sade, famous for his writings in which he wrote about the link between sexual gratification, torture, and pain. His name is the origin of the word sadism. The dungeon area was quite oppressive, I felt a distinct eerie chill in the air!
By the early 20th century the chateau was acquired by the city of Saumur when restoration began to take place. Today it is undergoing repairs to many parts but is largely open to the public for a very small fee.
ODC-Instant Gratification
This reads your temperature through your ear. It takes a second to get it. Sure beats some of the other ways of taking one's temperature.
Used a bit to open aperture on this one. But I'm on the other side amazed by the dynamic range of film which is clear in this photo so I decided to post it anyway. On digital the windows would have zero detail in them.
Don't get me wrong I love digital as well, I just think that film photography has so much more to give. No chimping, every shot is thought out, I don't take 20 photos of the same thing. Also the fact that there is no instant gratification makes me forget about the shoot and distance myself from it.
Long rambling this time and all you got was a bloody bus seat :-)

..it's what you have to take with a polaroid i guess. i'm undecided on the medium for now. i love the instantaneousness, the immediate gratification. i hate taking a self portrait with it, because to look at the thing and think "eew my hair looks gross i'll take another" (see above) would cost an exposure, which is wasteful.
i'd like to do some more polaroids, though. maybe it will make me a more efficient shooter.

The College Football team for 1913/1914 achieved excellent results by winning 12 of their 14 matches. The Calendar for 1914 reports that the “Soccer side can look back on the year’s performance with extreme gratification, as after several years of vain endeavour they have succeeded in finishing head of the 3rd division, thereby gaining promotion for next season”.
Sadly however, the fortunes of the team were to be interrupted by the start of the First World War. Half of the team were killed in the War over the next four years. The photograph of the football team is the first in a series of images to be featured on the Archive Image of the Month as part of the College’s tribute to alumni who were involved in the Great War.
Visitors to the College Library can view reproductions of the photographs of the Football team as well as the Cricket team 1914 and the May Boat of 1914 which will also feature as successive images of the Archive Image of the Month. There will also be other opportunities to view these images at various events during this centenary year.
There are actually 12 members of the Football team in the photograph, although only 11 are named in the Calendar. The names of the individuals are given here with brief details of what happened to them in the War:
Back row: Gilbert White died of wounds 1915;
2nd row: James Needham survived, Wilfrid Perks killed in action 1916 William McColl died of wounds 1916, William Bott killed in action 1918;
3rd row: Frederic Bunn survived, Geoffrey Davies killed in action 1915, Basil Orme (Captain) wounded twice, Harry Hubbard survived, John Nosworthy survived;
Front/4th row: Francis Ford killed in action 1917 & Military Cross, Robert Evans survived.

My boyfriend recently mentioned how much he liked an earlier dishcloth I've knitted. "But why on earth would people devote time to knitting dishcloths??"
Well, yes, good question! But it's a fact that these dishcloths are pretty nice to work with, and they provide instant gratification :-)
as seen on Pinterest - the original one I saw had grass growing, I couldn't find grass seeds here at home but I did have moss growing - instant gratification!! Now all I have to do is keep misting it daily!
as much as this project is about my son, it is also about my photography and my editing skills. it keeps me from getting rusty and hopefully helps me improve my skills. this week i purchased radlab and i LOVE it! it gives me instant gratification and lets me choose from a ton of "effects", save my "recipes" and easily apply the same recipe to multiple images. the photo at hand was edited with radlab and i'm thinking this might actually help me streamline my workflow and push out more photos then i have in the past...

i think it depends on the "selfie" or "self portrait".
life moves exponentially faster these days,
or rather we've become conditioned to demand more instantaneous gratification in all areas.
who has time to set up a camera and get the light and angle
just right, running back and forth chimping shots anymore?
some people do, i suppose.
mostly, i think it comes down to intent.
the "selfie" tends to be self gratuitous - think kim kardashian.
the "selfie" wants to be seen and admired and liked and favorited, but is ultimately forgotten. the "selfie artist" places themselves in a redundant loop which can never be escaped because the viewer connects so superficially and so fleetingly.
after the initial dopamine surge, the end results still prove unsatifying for the self objectifier because ultimately there is no true and thoughtful connection.
the "self portrait" tends to be more reflective of the personality of the soul who wishes the viewer
find some aspect of himself
reflected back while viewing.
the "self portrait" desires less so to be admired,
and craves more so to be understood.
the "self portrait" starts a conversation with
words exchanged subconsciously.
the "self portrait" wants a two way connection
the "selfie" is strictly a one way.
I needed a little dolly instant gratification, I had somehow completely forgotten that Pullipstyle was a Luts dealer and they had a small selection of Tiny Delfs in stock so this happened ^^;
Idlis are never instant. These are! And they are delicious!
The recipe is on my friend Anita's Mad Tea Party
I just shipped off my 35mm SLR along with a couple of lenses to a happy eBayer. It sold for about 10 percent of what I paid for my DSLR kit, but now that I have a DSLR, I have no use for film. I much prefer the instant gratification, straight-to-the-computer transfer and versatility of digital photography.
At Kparatao, near Sokode, we attended the fire dance. Tradition tells how the Kotokoli tribe was always feuding with the Tamerma tribe and often women and children were in the huts by the fire when fighting broke out. Not being able to escape quickly, they regularly ended up getting burned. The tribe therefore made a pact with the god of fire – thus the fire dance was born to show their respect and gratification to the god. Not all members of the tribe are able to participate in the dance, which induces a form of trance, only a selected few.
St Margaret, Luddington-in-the-Brook, Northamptonshire
Leaving Great Gidding, I decided to defer gratification and not head straight on to my long-intended goal of Little Gidding, but to head in the opposite direction to Luddington in the Brook, about a mile to the west. This didn't appear to be in my Huntingdonshire Pevsner, and after cycling for a few hundred yards I discovered the reason why, as I passed a sign welcoming me to Northamptonshire. The village is delightful, but I couldn't see the church even though it was on my map. I asked a bloke washing his car, and he directed me up a back lane to where I could see the pretty stone spired church across a field of sheep. A footpath led me through the field, much to the surprise of the sheep, and the little church was in a tiny churchyard accessible from the field.
It was locked without a keyholder notice, but the real star here is the huge range of grotesques and gargolyes clustered along the top of the walls. Fascinating. By now it was the hottest part of the day, but as I turned south- eastwards for the first time it was into a fairly strong wind full of Sahara dust which would keep me company all the way back to Huntingdon.
==================
A pleasant cycle ride in the Huntingdonshire Wolds, on the brightest, warmest day of the year so far. I set the alarm for 5am and got up to make coffee, have breakfast and see the world grow light. At a quarter to six I cycled down to Ipswich station and caught the 0600 train to Peterborough. Arriving at 0730 I lugged my bike across the long bridge to the far platform to catch the train to Huntingdon, where I arrived at 0800. Huntingdon is on the east coast main line, but this is a small station - the woman inspecting tickets looked at mine in disbelief. "You came from Ipswich this morning? You must have started early!"
I pushed my bike into the High Street and Market Place, and bought provisions for the day. The market was being set up, and few of the shops were open. It was pleasing to walk around a small town getting itself ready for the day when I had already travelled almost a hundred miles. I set out along the ancient Great North Road, the Roman Ermine Street, for a cycle ride in the Wolds. Over the course of the next eight hours I would visit 17 churches, of which I saw the inside of eight. It must be said that most of the others had keyholder notices, but I wanted to get as many churches for my money as possible (£35 for a day return!), and so only went for a key twice. Having said that, it was clear that west Cambridgeshire, the former Huntingdonshire, is not as good for open churches as south Cambridgeshire or east Cambridgeshire. My real goal for the day was Nicholas Ferrar and T S Eliot's Little Gidding, but there would be other delights and surprises in store. It would be a day of stone churches and stone spires, of gargoyles and grotesques, of almost no stained glass at all, medieval or otherwise, except for one fabulous moment. It would be a day of hazy hills and lots of spires off in the distance that brought A E Houseman to mind.

Don't you ever get bored of fancy graffiti and just want immediate gratification? I still do, but unfortunately I'm in my mid 30's with a family, so this is as good as it gets, Scrap metallics with Painter's Touch Dark Blue. Not quite the same. *sadface*
Alan Westin who defined privacy as “the claim of individuals, groups, or institutions to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent information about them is communicated to others” explained that “just as a social balance favoring disclosure and surveillance over privacy is a functional necessity for totalitarian systems, so a balance that ensures strong citadels of individual and group privacy and limits both disclosure and surveillance is a prerequisite for liberal democratic societies. The democratic society relies on publicity as a control over government, and on privacy as a shield for group and individual life.”
It was, therefore, surprising to have the former Attorney General assert that privacy is not a Fundamental Right. Privacy is a guarantee of due process providing an assurance that the government operates within the law and guarantees a fair procedure.
In fact whether the Constitution was read as a textualist would (Justice Scalia defined textulaism as an interpretation “guided by the text and not by intentions or ideals external to it, and by the original meaning of the text, not by its evolving meaning over time”) or whether it was construed as a Living Constitution that favours a broad not a conservative or mechanical approach “not condemning civilized society to remain under the regimen of its barbarous ancestors” the conclusion is inescapable that privacy is in fact guaranteed by the Constitution.
Privacy can be best understood by identifying an “intruder”. N A Moreham,Senior Lecturer in Law, Victoria University of Wellington in a scholarly article on privacy quoted Stanley Ben who described an intruder as one who “fails to show a proper respect for persons; he is treating people as objects or specimens — like “dirt” — and not as subjects with sensibilities, ends, and aspirations of their own, morally responsible for their own decisions, and capable, as mere specimens are not, of reciprocal relations with the observer. These resentments suggest a possible ground for a prima facie claim not to be watched, at any rate in the same manner as one watches a thing or an animal. For this is to “take liberties”, to act impudently, to show less than a proper regard for human dignity.”
Denial of privacy thus robs one of dignity. But the right to live with dignity has been held to be a core constitutional value by our Supreme Court and guaranteed by Article 21. And as privacy is an assurance of dignity the guarantee of privacy cannot but be implicit in the Constitution.
Even otherwise as Edward Bloustein says: “The man who is compelled to live every minute of his life among others and whose every need, thought, desire, fancy or gratification is subject to public scrutiny, has been deprived of his individuality …. Such an individual merges with the mass. His opinions, being public, tend never to be different; his aspirations, being known, tend always to be conventionally accepted ones” Visibility itself provides a powerful method of enforcing norms and as Westin tellingly puts it “naked to ridicule and shame they will be put in control of those who know their secrets.” As Moreham said freedom of expression – again guaranteed by the Constitution – would lose much of its value if people do not have the chance to learn to think for themselves and have anything unique, creative and controversial to express. Similarly freedom of action and belief – also guaranteed by the Constitution – will be lost where one is kept under the spotlight and on the stage in perpetuity robbing life of its spontaneity sparkle and exuberance, pillaging imagination of its resourcefulness, curbing individual genius and even idiosyncrasies, and enforcing conformity.
The right to privacy though unspecified is yet clearly reflected in the language of the Constitution and the existing state of law also clearly showed that the society believed that such a right existed. Merely being alive and alert to this fact even without being activist was sufficient to acknowledge the same.
The utter incongruity of the exercise of constituting a Bench of Nine Judges to decide if Privacy was a Fundamental Right at the instance of the Government which denied the proposition is apparent in the wholehearted endorsement of the decision as a vindication of its stance. What then was the need to rely upon the judgments on M.P.Sharma and Kharak Singh to insist that larger benches of the Supreme Court had held privacy not to be Fundamental Right, insisting that the framers of the Constitution had expressly excluded the right from the list of Fundamental Rights and asserting that the right was merely a common law right – an argument of the Attorney General which sat rather uncomfortably with that of the Additional Solicitor General that the right was recognized in different statutes? It could have been conceded that Sharma and Kharak Singh did not lay down the law correctly, that on a contemporaneous not historical exposition of law the want of explicit inclusion of privacy as a Fundamental Right could not be considered decisive and that a common law right was elevated to the status of a Fundamental Right and clearly emerged from the guarantee of Article 21 and other facets of freedom guaranteed by Part III of the Constitution.
Split verdicts often create doubts about verdicts and are open to criticism of policy and expediency trumping law. The Supreme Court spoke in one voice in recognizing the right to privacy. The unanimous decision of the Supreme Court is a momentous moment in India’s legal history decisively showing that existence of the right to privacy as an undisputed reality and vindicating India’s position as a confident, mature and vibrant liberal democratic state.
i was overly drunk and cold at this point, so dimitri had the brilliant idea to seek out food. we stumbled accidentally upon this tiny spanish/mexican dive lunch counter, which i fell in love with. it was like being back in SF. they had two menus, "friday" and "saturday". awesome caffe con leche, rice and beans and all that. i had the beef stew. d had 2 fried pork chops. awesome. two spirited somewhat evil children were seated with their zoo keeper right next to us. they told santa they wanted uzis, hand grenades, and atomic bombs for christmas, which they would use to blow up bush. no, not kidding. while AJ's autograph claimed that he rules, dakota disagreed and scratched it out, only to write repeatedly "dakota is sexy". which AJ disagreed with, apparently. these kids were, like, 7 or something. kids these days. typical santacon moment.

While working on a bigger project, I tangled a cardboard photo frame yesterday - for some instant gratification :) used Sakura Pigma Micron 08, a common black felt tip and a black permanent marker - because Sakura was not working too well on the surface. Yes, I should have treated it first, but I had no gesso, nor acrilics handy... Well, next time, I shall do it right.

A beautiful sunny winter day and my first time visiting Foster Beach. The ice formations were amazing! I have more photos to sort from both cameras, but here are some quick ones from the iPhone for instant gratification.
I think I got sunburned - I didn't even think of it ahead of time but of course I should have put sunblock on my face
...I got a polaroid camera for the wedding and I think it was one of the best things I did...everyone loved it...everyone wanted to have their picture taken and then we hung all the pictures of the day on some gray twine with tiny black clothes pins so everyone could look at them...I know I had a few people take some....shame on you...LOL.... I was able to have them scanned without damaging them so I will get them printed for the thankyou notes....
Number 1 pic in today’s Guardian magazine 2nd from last page….there was a time when you won a camera..Now all you get is self gratification.......Hurrah!.... I thank you
Kantan = Easy
Muzukashi = Difficult
Do you like tough projects, or quick and easy ones? I like the instant gratification of whipping up a scarf, a simple dress, or a familiar pattern. When I see a pattern with lot sof pieces to cut, trace and sew, my mind just shuts down and I feel overwhelmed/bored!
Today I'm wearing a RTW t-shirt that I appliqued onto years ago, and a me-made necklace. I have have quite a few sweatshirts, t-shirts and dresses that i've appliqued onto over the years... It's the perfect hour-long project, and it makes wearing the clothes more fun forever after.
How about you? Do you look for simple, kantan projects that will be fun and easy, or do you relish the challenge of something more muzukashi?

Our strawberries are ripe! They’re such a delayed gratification crop since you plant them one year and don’t start harvesting till the next. Last year I planted them and dutifully pinched off the blossoms in order for a larger harvest this year.
My efforts were rewarded because our strawberries are producing like crazy. We’ve been out picking them every evening.
Quilt completion is several months away so whipping up some tiny hexies the size of a dime and turning them into a keychain gave me instant gratification and a great way to use super small scraps. Two flowers are sewn back to back so it is double sided.
My first ever go at a Polaroid pic, and a pinhole at that. Complete estimation of focal length and pinhole diameter to gain an f number, and from that an exposure time. Expected a disaster, so pretty happy with this for a first attempt. Damn its wide-angle.
