The last of my Glacier images from this summer. I'm using this image, which is a Marc Adamus compstomp, to ask all my contacts for a little help. I would never make it as a professional photographer partly because I feel pretty uncomfortable promoting myself, which is as important to being successful in this business as actually shooting good pictures. When I see the work of some of the real talents out there in Landscape Photography, I can be honest with myself about where I stand in the grand scheme of things.... and it makes me thankful that I have another source of income so I don't starve. :)
I may not have much confidence in my own work, but I WILL brag about recognizing those photographers who are really exceptional. I ran into Ian Plant and Joe Rossbach in Canyonlands while they were teaching a workshop last year. Familiar with the immense talent they possess behind the lens, I was struck by their friendly demeanor and good nature. Ian was good enough to share some advice with me when I was shooting slot canyons for the first time, and I've assimilated tons of useful information through his daily photo blog. In short, as astounding a photographer as he is, he's a better man.
It has come to my attention that Ian is in the running for a trip to the North Pole. I'm selfishly asking for your help in sending him on his way. I say selfishly because I really REALLY want to see the amazing images he comes back with. Take a look at what he did in Patagonia, and you will see what I mean. For Christmas, if you want to get me something (I'm an extra-large, by the way), I would really appreciate it if you would go HERE, register, and vote to send Ian on this trip. I guarantee you will be pleased with the results.
This is the last image from my family Glacier trip this summer. Ryan showed me this spot after I begged him for a few months, and we spent several days here trying to get decent light. Steve and I shot this mere minutes before we were enveloped in thick fog for over an hour. It dawned on me about 30 minutes after getting socked in that this was the very same location that a bear poked his head up behind that tree when Steve, Ryan, and Jesse were here the year before. This made me nervous, as we couldn't see 10 feet in front of us for quite some time. I would like to personally apologize to the mountain goats that came roaming up their goat path. Apparently they don't like bear spray in their eyes, but hey, all paw/hoof steps sound the same to me when you can't see anything!
Yes, this is a composite. I zoomed in on the moon because at 16mm it looked like the lint I occasionally find in my belly button. Back to work. Thanks for making 2010 such a great year.
I guess I'm not supposed to put my website address here, so it's in My Profile if anyone cares.
Título: "Help"
Por esa ayuda que nunca se pide, pero que se grita en silencio. Por esa mano amiga que te levanta a peso muerto.
Modelo: Leila Amat
A processional tableau depicting "Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus," from Poblacion, Makati City. Commissioned from a Paete sculptor for the Samahang "Likod Simbahan."
Photographed right before the 2009 Good Friday processions. Photo courtesy of the Francisco Vecin Photo Collection.
In my batch of figures from Star Wars: The Force Awakens I also made 3 of the Original Trilogy characters: Chewy, Han Solo, and General Leia.
Chewbacca
With Chewy, I knew I had to make him significantly taller than the normal sized LEGO minifigure. With help from Dylan/TheMooseFigs, Billy/billbobful, and their respective limb extension techniques, I was able to make Chewy the right height and keep his proportions correct. After extending the limbs, I used Procreate to sculpt onto his legs and arms so they wouldn't look so thin compared with LEGO's head/torso mold. Then I painted everything a dark brown, added the initial areas of dark tan/brown, then did a lot of dry brushing to try to get the two colors to fuse together. Toes were also painted on.
His Bowcaster is made out of a LEGO Crossbow, 2 LEGO Rifle scopes, BrickArms M4 muzzle, BrickArms Sten Gun collapsible stock, wire, and procreate.
Han Solo
Han is my favorite hero from the OT, so I was really looking forward to making his figure.
His legs were initially reddish brown, then I added on the dark brown boots and dark brown holster/belt which was outlined in a more of a glossier black since regular matte black would blend in too much. Some silver and gunmetal details were painted on for the buckles and such. The torso was a plain white torso with the collar painted on in dark grey, then other details and wrinkles were added on in a light grey. His jacket is a modified CapeMadness vest painted dark brown, along with his arms. On his vest, I glued on a modified TinyTactical Chemlight unit which was painted up. Other details were painted onto the vest in black and gloss black. Han's face is the regular Han Solo face with the color of the eyebrows altered and some wrinkles added on. The hair was washed in dark brown. His weapon is a BrickArms DL-44 with a gunmetal muzzle, brown grip, and washed in gunmetal/silver.
General Leia
There weren't a lot of reference photos for Leia out there, so some of this figure is a little inaccurate. She wears a sand grayish-green jumpsuit, so I had to mix that color. She has black boots, and a black belt with silver buckle. On her torso, I painted various details in black as well as dark green. Her vest is a modified CapeMadness trench coat painted purple, and details added on in gloss black. Her face is the TLG Leia face with the eyebrows painted and some wrinkles added on, and the hair was painted dark tan, washed in brown, then washed in grey.
Let me know what you all think, I'd really appreciate it!

A NS Coal train being pushed by 4 manned Helpers at Cassandra, PA. The Summit at Gallitzin on this former PRR line is just a few miles away, and then it is downhill all the way to Altoona.
Rio Grande SD40T-2s No. 5386, 5405, 5342, 5385, and 5400 are ready to cut into an inbound Savage coal train at Helper, Utah on Feb. 15, 1999.
These fisherman are waiting to help you get a photograph - just an amazing site!
If you haven't visited Burma now called Myanmar get there quick!
Four years ago they had 3000 tourists and last year they had 3m tourists. The country is really well geared up for Tourism and wonderful to see. I thoroughly enjoyed my recent trip with All Points East.

UP 8310 and three GEs just helped a coal load climb Soldier Summit on Main 1. Here at Colton, the manned helpers have crossed over to Main 2 so they can return to Helper. Before heading down the hill, the conductor will assist the coal load in putting their train back together.

This was the first wren to tumble out of the nest. It was very noisily calling for help, which it got. Although I saw 6 wrens fledge I only managed to photograph 3 of them, and only two successfully as the others disappeared into the undergrowth.
A lot has changed in Helper over the years, much of it revolving around the decline in rail traffic since the height of the Denver & Rio Grande Western days. Falling demand for coal and shifting traffic patterns after the UP takeover have reduced rail volumes considerably, UP's LROHP (Roper to Helper local) that day a microcosm of today's reality, hauling only a single hopper for the trip east. One could say a sad state of affairs; although we'd all love to see Rio Grande's 2020 leading passenger trains again in place of armor yellow, that won't be happening anytime soon. Any town that suffers a structural decline in economic activity has to try to reinvent itself, this mural attempting to depict the "new" Helper hoping to bring in some tourism dollars, while acknowledging its roots, for better or for worse.
For those that need glasses like me, the mural reads:

"Capture a surreal situation in everyday life."--Dave Mason
I was working on a dolly picture yesterday, when a little helper appeared on the scene! He is Tofu, my 6-month-old blue point Siamese kitten. Such a pretty boy!! (His sister was somewhere nearby, but she was being good--this time!--and not getting on the table.)
Maryland Midland's UBHF train gets a shove from the only two GP38-3s left on the roster as the heavy train of cement hopper loads passes a cemetery in Graceham MD on October 23, 2020.
The stray utility pole which blocks the 2061's cab a bit was once a part of the old code line for WM's block signal system through here. The main is now dark territory with little use for the utility poles that supported it and so as the cross arms rotted and fell off one by one, the pole remained. It is now serving a different purpose supporting a bluebird house which has been mounted on the south side about 4-5 feet from the ground.

"the help" .... ... yesterday Baby Jesus was born, for those who are Christians this represents an immense act of God's love for his children ... and it is to that God-Man that we often resort to asking for help .... who among us ... has never needed help ...?! .....
I photographed people I had never met before, I thank them for their sympathy and availability: I met Antonio and his girlfriend, who came to Taormina to spend the last day together, the next day Antonio will leave to go very far, unfortunately leaving his beloved, to see her again who knows when ... I met the Japanese companion of my dear friend Cesare, who flew to the sky many years ago, I knew about his companion, but I had never met her before ... I photographed a sweet Chinese girl that I met on three different occasions, each time with a little more confidence….
these are just a few minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved (confused-blurred-imprecise-undecided) ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus made during the shooting phase, deliberately lengthening the exposure times, and not as an effect created later, in retrospect, in the post phase -production.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"the help"...."l'aiuto" ...ieri è nato Gesù Bambino, per chi è cristiano questo rappresenta un atto d’amore immenso di Dio per i suoi figli...ed è a quel Dio-Uomo che spesso ricorriamo chiedendo aiuto.... chi tra noi...non ha mai avuto bisogno di aiuto...?!.....
ho fotografato persone che non avevo mai incontrato prima, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità: ho incontrato Antonio e la sua ragazza, venuti a Taormina per trascorrere l'ultimo giorno insieme, il giorno successivo Antonio partirà per andare molto lontano, lasciando purtroppo la sua amata, per rivederla poi chissà quando….Ho conosciuto la compagna Giapponese del mio carissimo amico Cesare, volato in cielo tanti anni fa, sapevo di questa sua compagna, ma non l’avevo mai conosciuta prima…Ho fotografato una dolce ragazza Cinese che ho incontrato in tre occasioni diverse, ogni volta con un pizzico di confidenza in più….
sono queste solo alcune storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse (confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise)...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagni sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, allungando volutamente i tempi di esposizione, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling
I know I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet talking ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom
Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some hot, hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom
