This was taken last December. My son Cain is in the blue. I loved watching him wrestle but he doesn't wrestle anymore. :( He holds our state's record for the number of concussions in one season. ;o) He also came in fourth in the state finals. :)

Without him Helmsley wouldn't be clogged up. No one likes Traffic Wardens but this guy isn't such a bad bloke and is not a jobsworth.
another cute stamp carved by my sweetie. this is a very obscure kawaii character, there's only been like one memo made of him. such a shame, really.
Can you see him, his profile
Checking what's out there
Looking at the sunset
Together with me
We are never alone
Isn't that cool
Our helpers show themselves in different ways
Different clothings
Different bodies
Different scenes
Different voices
Different words
When you need them they appear
When you think you need them they mostly don't appear
Some things we need to deal with ourselves
Even tho we really could get some help
But that is not the kind of help they offer
Say thank you to the help when it comes, when your helpers are there, most likely silently
You might not even notice that they have been there at the time
But afterwards..
Yes
Afterwards..
A lightbulb lits and it all comes down in the correct way in your mind
Life is a mystery, isn't it
Grog’s bulging veins throbbed beneath his thick skin, a pulsating echo of his heart pounding in his chest. His eyes were clouded, his pupils dilated with feverish excitement.
The Crypt of Kings, a legend whispered around campfires, and its elusive treasure had haunted him night and day for decades. He had scoured the darkest depths, faced the most monstrous creatures, all for this day. His trembling hands gripped his weapon a little tighter at the sight of the massive doors finally standing before him.
A rosy glow filtered through the crack, a promise of unimaginable wealth. The solitary orc, teetering on the edge of insanity, was about to cross the threshold, driven by an insatiable thirst for gold and glory.

This is my entry for Brickscalibur’s "Perspective Matters" category.
Sometimes, you meet someone and talk to them for just a few minutes, and feel that they are larger than life. Although I will not go into detail about our conversation, that was Mr. Hill.
Mr. Hill is an award winning, self-made long rifle maker. With nothing to learn from except 2 books (there was no Internet back when he was learning!), his very first rifle brought in an award. He was showing some of his wares, and they were beautiful.
I had taken several shots of him, and asked him for one more, and that after I had taken it, I had something to tell him. I let him know that his eyes and beard were just like my grandfathers, and he reminded me of my grandfather very much. I actually choked up a little when I was telling him.
Mr. Hill, thank you so much for talking with my wife and I, and for this shot. And, thank you very much for reminding me of my grandfather.
The Calling of Saint Matthew is an oil painting by Caravaggio that depicts the moment Jesus Christ calls on the tax collector Matthew to follow him. It was completed in 1599–1600 for the Contarelli Chapel in the church of the French congregation, San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, where it remains. It hangs alongside two other paintings of Matthew by Caravaggio, The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew (painted around the same time as the Calling) and The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602).
More than a decade earlier, Cardinal Matthieu Cointerel (in Italian, Matteo Contarelli) had left funds and specific instructions in his will for the decoration of a chapel based on themes related to his namesake, Saint Matthew. The dome of the chapel was decorated with frescoes by the late Mannerist artist Giuseppe Cesari, Caravaggio's former employer and one of the most popular painters in Rome at the time. But as Cesari became busy with royal and papal patronage, Cardinal Francesco Del Monte, Caravaggio's patron and also the prefect of the Fabbrica of St Peter's (the Vatican office for Church property), intervened to obtain for Caravaggio his first major church commission and his first painting with more than a handful of figures.
Caravaggio's Calling of Saint Matthew hangs opposite The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. While the Martyrdom was probably the first to be started, the Calling was, by report, the first to be completed.[citation needed] The commission for these two lateral paintings — the Calling and the Martyrdom — is dated July 1599, and final payment was made in July 1600. Between the two, at the altar, is The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602).
The painting depicts the story from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 9:9): "Jesus saw a man named Matthew at his seat in the custom house, and said to him, "Follow me", and Matthew rose and followed Him." Caravaggio depicts Matthew the tax collector sitting at a table with four other men. Jesus Christ and Saint Peter have entered the room, and Jesus is pointing at Matthew. A beam of light illuminates the faces of the men at the table who are looking at Jesus Christ. This is a depiction of a moment of spiritual awakening and conversion, which was something many Baroque artists were interested in painting, especially Caravaggio.
There is some debate over which man in the picture is Saint Matthew, as the surprised gesture of the bearded man at the table can be read in two ways.
Most writers on the Calling assume Saint Matthew to be the bearded man, and see him to be pointing at himself, as if to ask "Me?" in response to Christ's summons. This theory is strengthened when one takes into consideration the other two works in this series, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, and The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. The bearded man who models as Saint Matthew appears in all three works, with him unequivocally playing the role of Saint Matthew in both the "Inspiration" and the "Martyrdom".
A more recent interpretation proposes that the bearded man is in fact pointing at the young man at the end of the table, whose head is slumped. In this reading, the bearded man is asking "Him?" in response to Christ's summons, and the painting is depicting the moment immediately before a young Matthew raises his head to see Christ. Other writers describe the painting as deliberately ambiguous.
Some scholars speculate that Jesus is portrayed as the Last Adam or Second Adam as titled in the New Testament. This is displayed in Christ's hand as it reaches out towards Matthew. It is almost a mirrored image of Adam's hand in The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, the namesake of Caravaggio. Twice in the New Testament, an explicit comparison is made between Jesus and Adam. In Romans 5:12–21, Paul argues that "just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous" (Romans 5:19, NIV). In 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul argues that "as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive," while in verse 45 he calls Jesus the "last/ultimate/final Adam".
Kevin is my favorite appraiser on Antiques Roadshow. We saw him walking, and we introduced ourselves, and he was kind enough to pose for a quick photo!
On social media, I won two tickets to the Santa Fe recording of Antiques Roadshow. I took a couple of lenses, and Kelly took her great-grandmother's ring. The ring appraised for a decent amount. The appraisers who looked at my lenses weren't very knowledgeable about camera gear.
A friend told me to upload my photos even if I think they suck or they aren't my "style"
I guess I'm listening to him.
A candid street portrait of a beautiful young lady in a fur-coat and mittens. She stands in the street in heavy winter snowstorm and waits for her gentleman. No, that was not a bus-stop. :-) Love is more powerful than any cold and blizzard. Feel free to say her some warming words in the comment section under the image. The beauty is not a model, she is a stranger. This is true candid street photo. Black and white version of square format. And yes, it was really cold and snowy day.

My good friend Lewis came down yesterday, hes really into the same things as me, like Photography and Music, so its always great to catch up with him and when we talk about ideas he always seems to inspire me without even knowing it, he makes me want to improve my ideas and venture out of my comfort zones.
Ive been so fixated on other peoples work, ive spent most of my time just trying to emulate their ideas and styles just so i can get a idea of how they think.
with this image I really stepped out of my comfort zone, Ive taken the parts that i love from other peoples images like the colour, toning.
head out on your own and make new adventures, but remember that sometimes you find new paths just by following others ...
caught this guy yesterday morning when I walked down to the mailbox for the mail.
(LOL.....NO! I don't usually carry my long lens to the mailbox, but I had seen him flying from tree to tree through the window, and figured I'd take a chance I'd be able to get a capture.)
I watched him fly up into the top of a big pine, and "disappear"
I aimed the camera and snapped off a bunch of "blind" shots,and managed to catch him as he was leaving.
This picture is dedicated to my most favorite artist of all time! Listening to him gives me feelings / moods (no further details)! Love to listen to him while taking pictures (at night) and bringing me into the zone... giving me the mood to take / edit pictures like that...

check him out!
non c'entra niente con questa foto ma, se vi va, guardatevi questo fantastico bellissimo David Bowie
I search for him everywhere...

I am inspired by Vincent's work as an artist, especially by his bold use of color to express emotion.
This image is a composite I created in Photoshop by layering two of my photos, one of which obviously is Vincent's self portrait, the other is a photo I took of some autumn leaves.
Faith is praising God in the storm. Trusting Him in the valley. Following Him in the darkness. God will be faithful to you when you trust Him no matter what place you find yourself in today.

As the sun drew long shadows of him on the ground, turning everything to black and white, he peddled on. The rhythm of the cycle wheels urging him on instinctively to reach his destination...
The story is forming in my head but not quite coming out as I want it to :D Hola all!! yes, I am tripping over black and whites and whites and black, you get the drift right :D I was standing in the balcony with my brother and the shadows being cast on the people and things below was so interesting that I just had to capture it...and I thought the cycle shadow made the most photogenic subject :) Its different from what I usually do, so hope you like it!!
Hope your weekend has been great so far...mine has been super(well!), I got to be a brat and throw tantrums for no reason at all :P anywho, hope the rest of the weekend is super duper great and tantrum-less for all of us :)
"What surprised him most, however, was the logic of his wings. They seemed so natural on that completely human organism that he couldn’t understand why other men didn’t have them too."
- Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings

partly inspired by Márquez' short story A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings or Un señor muy viejo con unas alas enormes. there couldn't be better words to describe magical realism than the quote above. if you get the chance to get hold of the story, please give it a read, it's absolutely magical :)
Raúl modeled for me while I was in Madrid, sadly this is the only concept we got to shoot.
thank you for stopping by, let me know what you think! :)
I saw him lying on the floor, camera in hand, put in infront of him and snap. Didn't even look through the lens! To get him to look I called him ... he's actually looking at me!
If you look at the full size image you can see me lit up in the flash in his eyes!....
remember God, not the guy in the picture, me. lol
i was listening to this spiritual music as of posting. just went with it.

....and my parents didn't feed me after that :-(
This herring gull chick fell down four storeys on Sunday evening and ended up on scaffolding outside my kitchen. The parents could hear him but weren't going to feed him. After 12 hours I raked him in with a shrimping net and fed him (you see some of the food on his beak and down!). I got in touch with a local wild life rescue centre where he has now gone to spend some months with others the same age until he is ready to be released. So a happy ending after all!

After photographing Jarik as a newborn (and his mother as pregnant with him), it was fun to meet this adorable guy again for his one year old photos last year.
His family and dog also joined in on some photos, which I will show later on.
Check out more photos of him in the links below the line!
