Belted Kingfisher
The hardest part of these shots was that I had a small window of clarity, if the Kingfisher mover a little left or right I would not have been able to get a clear shot!!
You all have a great weekend!! :)
Probably the hardest thing I've ever tried to photograph.
So frustrating, so out of control but also fascinating..
Kudos to all who stepped up to the challenge.
HMM!

Johannes Lodewijk Nicolaas "Jan" Schaefer (16 March 1940 – 30 January 1994) was a Dutch politician and community organiser who served as State Secretary for Housing and Spatial Planning from 1973 to 1977 under Joop den Uyl's cabinet. He was a member of the Communist Party of the Netherlands (CPN) until 1965, before he joined the Labour Party (PvdA) in 1969. Schaefer was first elected to the House of Representatives in the 1971 general election, where held a seat with interruptions until 1990. He also served as an alderman in the municipal executive of Amsterdam from 1978 to 1986, in charge of housing.
in which to separate yourself from all those other people who are doing reasonably good stuff and to find a personal voice, your own vision, and to make something that is truly, memorably yours and not someone else’s. A recognized signature style of photography is an incredibly difficult thing to achieve... Photography is not an easy medium. It is, finally, perhaps the hardest of them all :-)

The so called simple subjects seem to be the hardest ones for me. These pencils behaved like divas. I'm learning a lot, I hope.
Some times old friends are the hardest ones to have. Life changes, you change, but life will go on.... this particular friend, is an old friend and one I am thankful to have in my life, EVEN when he photobombs my shots.. so it was too good NOT to use.
🎼: Can't Make Old Friends~ Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton ~
✈️ : Frogmore
What will I do when you're gone?
Who's gonna tell me the truth?
Who's gonna finish the stories I start
The way you always do?
When somebody knocks at the door
Someone new walks in
I will smile and shake their hands
But you can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
It was me and you, since way back when
But you can't make old friends
Everything changes... This may be one of the hardest lessons of life for beings who, by nature, resist change. In the virtual world, where people, places and things come and go in the blink of an eye, permanence truly is a fleeting concept.
The mighty light at Black Basalt Beach shines no more. For more than three years it stood tall as the distinctive landmark of one of Second Life's most beautiful and best loved places. Gone but not forgotten, the lost sims of SL live on in our hearts and minds. Like all things wonderful, the impact these places had on us becomes part of who we are. Few places in the virtual world have had as big an impact on as many residents as Black Basalt, and for this we should all be grateful and strive to carry this tradition forward, for it is what makes Second Life truly unique and special.
Thank you Rose, for the things you do in all the wonderful ways you do. ♥
The hardest thing in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which to burn. ... [David Russel]
The Iron Bridge crosses the River Severn at the Ironbridge Gorge, by the village of Ironbridge, in Shropshire, England. It was the first arch bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron, a material which was previously far too expensive to use for large structures. However, a new blast furnace nearby lowered the cost and so encouraged local engineers and architects to solve a long-standing problem of a crossing over the river. (Wikipedia)

This species is one of the hardest shorebirds to spot when it is settled on a shoreline or beach with its near perfectly camouflaged plumage with the sand. They are one of Ontarios' endangered species as a result of their inability to reproduce due largely to the increased population of human-tolerant predators like gulls, raccoons and skunks.
Their nesting habit of making a shallow scrape on bare sand an open beach leaves them very susceptible to predators as well. Population increases are being assisted with the employment of conservation methods by fencing off nesting areas on beaches to control predation. A mating pair will raise one brood of normally 4 chicks in a season.
This adult bird is patrolling and feeding along the shoreline of Lake Ontario either during a pause in its migration route or stopping to look for a partner to mate with and nest.

"Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."
-Jack Frost
HSS, all!
Even in the hardest coldness,

they just need more attention...

Whew what a weekend! Out of all of the Pitchfork Music Festivals I've shot, this one was by far the hardest for several reasons. The biggest ones were probably still my own anxiety about getting sick (I was double masking the whole time), and the fact that it rained pretty much the entire day Friday and I've already lost one camera due to unexpected rain. (It also rained a bit yesterday, too). But also, on our way to the park yesterday, my partner Cinchel got doored about two blocks away. He's ok and it could have been way way worse but it started the day with a very traumatic feeling. I'm not sure what I would do if I lost this human, to be honest.
One of the good things to come out of this festival was Spiritualized. As a whole, I dislike it when bands (especially those who aren't officially headlining) exclude some photographers or make photographers apply special. Spiritualized actually just picked 15 photographers out of all of us (There had to be at least over 100) and somehow I was picked. I know there were other publications that are more popular or widely read, etc. that weren't picked so I was actually pretty surprised but somehow I was on that list. To be honest, if I hadn't been picked, I probably would have just crawled into a heap of despair and disintegrated into the ether (Does this sound too melodramatic?). Well, the problem with me is that I always say or write exactly what I mean.
I first discovered Spiritualized when they opened for Radiohead at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1998 and they were one of the main reasons (as well as Low) that I wanted to photograph the festival. There's always a little bit of pressure I put on myself when I'm one of only a handful of people (or sometimes the only one) documenting something not just for myself but for others. I have a friend who is a huge Spiritualized fan who just couldn't come because of our current circumstances in reality and I feel those who can't be there deeply.
Anyhow, this is probably all a lot extra as usual. I'm working on Day Three coverage today but more photos of Spiritualized and a review and setlist are up here:
bigtakeover.com/concerts/PitchforkMusicFestivalHighlights...
I also took photos of a few others bands Friday and so far my camera still works. I didn't get nearly as many shots as I would have wanted (I was photographing less than half a song for some bands then putting my camera back in my waterproof bag immediately.
Isn't the expression "You get what you get and you can throw a fit but it won't change this postmodern reality anyway?"

One of the hardest waterfall shot's I've made was here. The crowds were huge. Understandable when one can easily walk to and view one of the highest waterfalls in America. I used my tripod more like a monopod due to the continual jostling and bumping.
Fed by underground springs from nearby Larch Mountain Multnomah Falls is the most visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest with more than 2 million stopping by each year to take in the views.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!
“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.”
We both always look forward...

It's sad, so sad (so sad)
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

The hardest part about this photo shoot was melding two very busy schedules. Combine a cancellation and a good dose of happenstance and spontaneity, and we finally made it work!

Let it go
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over?
Let it in
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels
Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These small hours still remain
Let it slide
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And I don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by
It's the heart that really matters in the end
Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These small hours still remain
All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But I can not forget
The way I feel right now
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away, but these small hours
These small hours, still remain
They still remain
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain

Flamenco night.
“The hardest step in learning flamenco dance is the first one the student takes into the studio.”
(Someone).
Flamenco (Spanish pronunciation: [flaˈmeŋko]), in its strictest sense, is an art form based on the various folkloric music traditions of southern Spain, developed within the gitano subculture of the region of Andalusia, but also has a historical presence in Extremadura and Murcia. In a wider sense, it is a portmanteau term used to refer to a variety of both contemporary and traditional musical styles typical of southern Spain. Flamenco is closely associated with the Gitanos of the Romani ethnicity who have contributed significantly to its origination and professionalization. However, its style is uniquely Andalusian and flamenco artists have historically included Spaniards of both gitano and non-gitano heritage.
