This grey heron stares its opponents down.
Dieser Graureiher starrt seine Gegner in Grund und Boden.
You tell me it's a search
A futile search we make.
A walk through the entrance
The magician flute sings and I pass the tunnel /
Dens
Waving hypnotism of a perfume
Rising and falling
In between sounds
I find myself in a ceremony
Trusting halves and havenots
A star
Guest amongst guests
The heat of the globe
Glowing through my flesh makes an offering
Blood to blood
Feuds and fumes
Arms pulled
Right
Love and longing
Fate and soul
Left
Alleys of self
Trials and tribulations
Arms pulled
Above and across the fires of the abyss
Arms pulled
Unwilling and weary, an Icarus
Let go and
I fall
and
I fall
I roam
Amongst tree trunks and ashes
I bow to leave the light on extended palms
I walk
I walk backwards, a woman on my own feet
Longing and desire
A power rising above wills
Ripping through
And through all
A woman
Not walking on her own feet
Shadow wanted feeding and was doing his best hard stare to make sure we understood, but the full effect can only be revealed using an iphone camera!
And some people wonder how catseyes on roads get their name...
The Magical House of Chocolates. In every hearts, there is a soft corner for these things. It works magically on all persons whether children or adult like a hypnotise tool.
El pantano que emergió de la niebla
La niebla confina un hipnotismo mágico durante las primeras y últimas horas del día. Su disipación, poco a poco engendra sorpresas extraordinarias en ocasiones, suscita un estupor fantástico y una fascinación misteriosa en otras, y origina que mi interior esboce una sonrisa y mis manos la encarcelen con mi cámara, para que finalmente ese halo "tenebroso y enigmático" desaparezca en una instantánea.
The swamp that emerged from the fog
The fog confines a magical hypnotism during the first and last hours of the day. Its dissipation, little by little engenders extraordinary surprises at times, raises a fantastic stupor and a mysterious fascination in others, and causes my interior to sketch a smile and my hands imprison it with my camera, so that finally that halo "dark and enigmatic" disappear in a snapshot.
Le marais qui a émergé du brouillard
Le brouillard enferme un hypnotisme magique pendant les premières et dernières heures de la journée. Sa dissipation, qui engendre peu à peu des surprises parfois extraordinaires, suscite une stupeur fantastique et une fascination mystérieuse chez les autres, et amène mon intérieur à dessiner un sourire et mes mains l’emprisonnent avec mon appareil photo, de sorte que finalement ce halo "sombre et énigmatique" disparaître dans un instantané.
La palude che emerse dalla nebbia
La nebbia confina un magico ipnotismo durante la prima e l'ultima ora del giorno. La sua dissipazione, a poco a poco genera sorprese straordinarie a volte, solleva uno stupore fantastico e un fascino misterioso negli altri, il che fa sorridere il mio interiore e le mie mani lo imprigionano con la mia macchina fotografica, così che quell'aureola "oscura ed enigmatica" scomparire in un'istantanea.

The taxi moves through the traffic like an urban shark at ramming speed, ruthlessly veering between lanes wherever an opportunity opens up, until forced to come to an inevitable, complete standstill at the Ratchada/Rama IV intersection where it is rumored Bangkokians spend 1/10th of their lives. As the frustration builds and I wish I had brought my shaving kit with me, magical lights come on in the office tower next to us, like a sea creature of the deep signaling its neighbors. Waves of blue and green fluorescent neon lights move up and down the building facade at varying speeds, a silent yet melodious ode to patience, calm and beauty. For several minutes, I am transported into an unexpected world of magic and hypnotism. And as the traffic light turns green and we are on the move again, I feel regret at having to leave behind this spectacle in the mayhem. In the city that I hate. In the city that I love. Bangkok, mon amour.

So my daughter bought me these very hip Hypno Glasses. If you look very closely (don't worry, I'm not trying to hypnotize you--haha) you can see the backlight reveals writing on the back of the glasses. It says, "WARNING! These glasses are a source of almost unlimited power. Do not let them fall into the hands of a stupid person."
On a technical note: It is exactly 3" from center to center of the lenses. I shot the White Balance in Tungsten to give it that ominous color for the backlight which happens to be my vacuum cleaner light. :)

This morning before the heat started sweltering we decided to head out on a walk in search of Pokémon for Sylvia's youngest. We found a few Pokémon Stops but I don't think any actual Pokémon were located.
That's okay though, it was a good walk and we swung around to hit up the marsh and to see what was there. A few turtles and quite a few ducks.
All in all, it was a good day with lots of fun for the girls.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

"The progress consists of change." Miguel de Unamuno.
Back to a city where you have lived is always special. There are memories in every corner, some places have changed and others remain almost identical, but we are no longer the same. In this new visit to Taiwan I could photograph again places that I immortalized years ago, and it was something fabulous to realize how much I had progressed as a photographer since then.
This view is the most famous of Taipei. If the sunset seems to be great you need to arrive here several hours in advance to be able to place the tripod, because there are always a lot of local and foreign photographers looking forward to capturing this amazing image of the city . Despite arriving two hours before dusk, the two viewpoints were completely occupied, but I did not resign myself to run out of the photo and I decided to try to find a place from the trails that run up the mountain. When it seemed that there would be no way, I found a small gap between some plants that I could also include as a foreground of the image. I could not leave Taipei without getting this incredible picture I had desired for so long.

"El progreso consiste en el cambio." Miguel de Unamuno.
Volver a una ciudad en la que has vivido es siempre especial. Hay recuerdos en cada rincón, algunos lugares han cambiado y otros permanecen casi idénticos, pero nosotros sí que ya no somos los mismos. En esta nueva visita a Taiwan pude volver a fotografiar lugares que años atrás ya inmortalicé, y fue algo fabuloso para darme cuenta de cuánto había progresado como fotógrafo desde entonces.
Esta vista es la más famosa de Taipei. Si el atardecer promete es necesario llegar aquí con varias horas de antelación para ser capaz de colocar el trípode, ya que siempre hay una gran cantidad de fotógrafos locales y extranjeros deseando capturar esta impresionante imagen de la ciudad. A pesar de llegar dos horas antes del crepúsculo, los dos miradores estaban completamente ocupados, pero no me resigné a quedarme sin la foto y busqué por los senderos que recorren la montaña. Cuando parecía que no habría manera, encontré un pequeño hueco entre algunas plantas que además pude incluir como primer plano en la parte inferior de la imagen. No podía marcharme de Taipei sin conseguir esta increíble fotografía que había deseado durante tanto tiempo.
“When did humans first create music?”
Due to an annoying blister on Rishabh’s toe, we decided against climbing the high dunes, and instead, waded along the enchanting Medano creek to keep thing easy for him. Medano is a seasonal waterbody that flows when snow melts in higher altitudes… four to five weeks every year. Today, the creek was flowing gently on the wet sand, barely above our ankles at its deepest grooves. Gifts offered by this meek river were being enjoyed by one and all – children and children-at-heart were splashing in it and others had found a wet seat on one of its many sand bars that were a foot or so high. Rishabh and I had settled down on one such sandbar. The creek was washing over our bare feet, which were visually fluttering in it. The wind was mild, the sunshine was bright, and the surrounding scenery (above) was impressive; it was a recipe for a peaceful few minutes. But peaceful it wasn’t.
A group of young adults, about 300-400 yards from us, were playing popular songs loudly on their hefty loudspeakers, which they had brought over for their picnic along with their devil-may-care-attitude. This was a national park – the Great Sand Dunes national park– and etiquette of such temples dictate enjoying the place without marring it for others. But these are young people who know everything due to google, and are used to gratification instantly, as if hedonic pleasure is some ‘a-minute-to-cook’ noodle. I sincerely feel sad for this generation. They dig a lot, but nothing much sinks in. They want to smell good, but don’t know how to smell wildflowers. They smile wide for their selfies, but to other human beings, they offer 'smile' emojis.
Rishabh was visibly upset with the wild bunch. To pacify, I reminded him that they were playing one of his favorite songs. “Not here!”, he said firmly. Equally agitated as him, I wondered if this old place had any medication for this new age agony. “Close your eyes and try listening to everything else”, I told Rishabh and did so myself. Slowly waves of man-made music faded from my ears. Cleansed somewhat, I heard the faint chortle of the creek. The giggle was not uniform, but it was rhythmic – the creek knew how to hold time in a rhyme, an art it must have learned from melting spirits of the mountains. Every now and then, a somewhat more vigorous wave would rush through a little sand-canyon and create eddies that percussed like a drum. Braiding with aquatic acoustics, large chunks of sand would now and then dislodge from the bar, splash on the flowing water, and create a roaring crescendo like an orchestra gong. Clearly, the creek was on a song, but only for humble ears that knew how to drop pretenses and court purity.
Somewhen then, breaking the creek’s hypnotism, Rishabh asked, “When did humans first create music?” My son often asks such questions– somewhat silly on the surface, but frustratingly deep to effectively respond. But this time, I had an answer. I said, “Perhaps, a long time ago, when a father and son sat patiently by a creek and heard it warble.”
PS: Zoom into those dunes for human figures, if you care about scale.

The only vacant shop on New Bond Street.
Don't stare at the screen for too long though otherwise you might end up signing a long lease with no break clause....
This is a B&W, square format version of my previous upload. Given my massive backlog of images I really do need to stop producing / uploading different versions of the same shot but in this instance I thought it was justified as they both have a different 'feel' to each other.
Whilst this version is much more 'graphic' and the composition probably 'tighter' (i.e, the 1/3 of the frame I've lost doesn't add anything with regards the images 'message') I do like the way subtle browns are interrupted by the blue 'One Way' sign. In the B&W version the significance of the sign is greatly downplayed so I guess it depends on whether the sign adds anything to the shot...... Whilst I'm not sure it adds to the 'message' some might consider the fact it's pointing in the opposite direction to the woman's direction creates a subconscious tension...... Anyway, I think that's quite enough thinking for a Sunday.....

As the street slopes slightly uphill from left to right this adds to the feeling of being an optical illusion.
I arrived in London several hours before the London Flickr Group Photowalk was due to start so I thought I'd indulge in a spot of street photography. Oxford St provided plenty of colourful vacant shop hoardings for background so it was interesting to see that the luxury brands that line New Bond Street seemed to be largely unaffected. I wonder what that might say about society........

This could be the eye of an alien storm, with blue lightning running through it.
Or it could be the iris of an eye of someone who is hypnotized.
Or it could be just the center of a blue glass dessert plate.
Odylic Force. —is the name given in the mid-19th century to a hypothetical vital energy or life force by Baron Carl von Reichenbach. In western popular culture the name is used for prana to refer to spiritual energies or the vital force associated with living things from Field and String (Invisible Lines of Power
Established in 1883, Bradley Lock and Key continues in business in the Historic District of Savannah, Georgia. The interior resembles a key museum, with old keys and machinery throughout the first floor.
The shop has remained in the Bradley family since its opening. The father of the current owner, William Houdini Bradley, was purportedly deeply involved in spiritualism, hypnotism and séances. The legend is that the father, Aaron, was close to the family of magician Harry Houdini, hence the reason for his son’s middle name, “Houdini.” The shop is also purportedly haunted. Shadowy figures have been reported moving through the aisles of old tools and other assorted oddities at night, and objects have been reported to move by themselves.

Hypnosis is a catch-all term for a wide array of phenomena surrounding the way our minds are influenced by suggestion. Sometimes the term is too broad and is lumped with phenomena marginally related making the word hypnotism almost meaningless.
American Psychological Association’s definition of hypnosis says hypnosis is a “state of consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness characterized by an enhanced capacity for response to suggestion.”
Consider what happens when you focus intently on a small rectangle of glass with shifting patterns of light and sound. How suggestible might you become? What kind of influences have you opened your unconscious mind to? Who might take advantage of this suggestibility and how might they use it in ways that benefit them and not you?

I think they are capable of hypnotism.
Also I think sheep are very underestimated. I mean, look at the legs...and look at what they carry around.

Finished uploading photos from the Rotolight Photowalk so I guess I should add a bit of variety before I start uploading photos of models taken on the Rotolight stand the the recent Photography Show........
I've uploaded a monochrome version of this photo of the only vacant shop on New Bond Street before but on reflection I think the colour version works quite well too given it's almost monochrome (if you know what I mean......).

From Wikipedia, "Bond Street in the West End of London links Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north. Since the 18th century the street has housed many prestigious and upmarket fashion retailers. The southern section is Old Bond Street and the longer northern section New Bond Street — a distinction not generally made in everyday usage.
The street was built on fields surrounding Clarendon House on Piccadilly, which were developed by Sir Thomas Bond. It was built up in the 1720s, and by the end of the 18th century was a popular place for the upper-class residents of Mayfair to socialise. Prestigious or expensive shops were established along the street, but it declined as a centre of social activity in the 19th century, although it held its reputation as a fashionable place for retail, and is home to the auction houses Sotheby's and Bonhams (formerly Phillips) and the department store Fenwick and jeweller Tiffany's. It is one of the most expensive and sought after strips of real estate in Europe."

Work in progress HERE and close detail HERE.
This is a digital work but I placed the circles one by one on a black
background. It took me quite a long time to finish the whole portrait...
I really like Lady Gaga's personality and imago. She has a beautiful mouth and I found a deep expression of nostalgia and fear in the purity of her eyes.
The original version of the above portrait is huge (over 10000 pixels wide).
