You remember the line: "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" Glinda asks this of Dorothy who just doesn't realize yet how powerful she truly is.
I have a purse by Anne Taintor that says "She had not yet decided whether to use her powers for good or evil." In reality, that is false advertising. I have in fact decided to use them for good. And truly: we all have power. I carry the purse to remind myself that we all have that choice at ever fork in the road. With a nod of our head or a wave of our hand or a word we can change someone's life.
Do we smile at the stranger and say hello? Do we hold the door for the mom with the stroller? If we see someone at work trip and spill their coffee on themselves - do we rush to help them up and dry off or do we laugh and point and call others over to see? Do we give of our time (and our money if we can) where we can? Do we stand up against bullies? If a friend is making a really bad choice regarding a man... do we just figure she's made her own bed and will have to lie in it or do we tell her to get the hell out before he sends her to the hospital? Do we take away the keys and not let the friend drive?
Our behavior, bystander behavior, can have ripples we can't even imagine. it's harder than looking the other way but a lot more rewarding.
Be a good witch.
I was at the park with cub scouts doing a trash clean-up when I spotted this tree perfectly framed by its neighbors!

I like photographing the frogs on our little pond and this one had an interesting expression. I think it is thinking "I ate so many bugs that my eyes are bugging out". I think I know the feeling.

As many of you know I bought a Fujifilm X-E1. I also bought a new Fuji XF 18-55mmF2.8 R LM OIS, it arrived this week. Last night I got the lens manual out, so I could read up on setting the aperture today. With the X-E1 there’s a switch on the side of the lens. Anyway, today I grabbed my reading glasses off my nightstand (that I keep in a case). I took them out of the case and someone had physically pulled and broke one of the ear pieces. I had them out last week reading the camera manual and they were fine. This is not the first time someone has come into my residence and broke a pair of my glasses. Last year I bought a pair of polarized prescription glasses. The first week I had them someone came into my residence and broke them. These are common acts of people involved in Gang Stalking. I take extreme care of my property (to the point I’m almost anal), but this kind of illegal entry and property damage is allowed in Yosemite National Park. Law Enforcement, Contractors and the Superintendent are fully aware of it and continue to allow these actions against Targets.

I stay very active bringing awareness to Gang Stalking, Community Based Stalking and Workplace Mobbing. Maybe we should try and make these changes one community at a time. So, here is a contact page for Yosemite: www.nps.gov/yose/contacts.htm. Once on this page; click ask a question or make a comment. This is your National Park, please take the time to contact them and tell them to put a stop to Gang Stalking, Community Based Stalking and Workplace Mobbing. All day; I had halfwits purposely walking and stopping in my compositions.
Apparently these simpletons don’t know they can be edited out.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my Photostream and all your support.
And I know what they call you, girl. Never put you down, baby. Salamat, Skynyrd. Exif zapped in pp software.
Bought a new Holga to replace the dead one. Although this is a tad different. I had a flash in my old one. I haven't even loaded any film into him yet so this is a dummy shot of course. I actually was inspired by another Flickrite for this shot.
I'm going to try very hard to get some good shots out of this baby. Fingers crossed!
I asked my partner to take a few shots with me. We set up the camera to take two shots, one after the other, and this is the result. I love this photo of us! I think it shows the love we feel for one another.
hi! say hello to my boobs. i saw some of these on Friend feed so i decided to join in the festivities 11 views and i barely clicked publish? haha

and a Happy Holidays to come :)
HBW everyone... yeah I finally got to upload on Wednesday
because my class is OVER!!!!
I don't think this Fox was going to jump over a lazy dog :-)
She looks like a red and white version of Holly :-)
When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. me

Ashlee and I came up with this idea a few days ago when we both realized we purchased these magnetic letters. This is our first stop motion together. Hopefully we will do more in the future.
The concept of this is self explanatory, at least in my opinion. But if you have any questions, feel free to contact either one of us. Thank you.
Tell us what you think, we love feedback.
And she just hissed at me all the time!
Two hypothesis:
1. Goku used to bully her a lot...Maybe she had felt his scent on me and got upset...
2. She remembers me, but she is so happy in her new home she was afraid I could take her from there... kkkk
I was so happy to see her so happy there! She finally got the home she deserves.
Isa is such a hostess, and it's always a pleasure to meet her!
By the way, this pic was taken while she still lived in my house...

I decided to take some time off. Every bird needs some time away from my nest…and by the looks of my nest, and the many complaints from the maids, I need time off. Hah…Robin, once the feared boy wonder…now plays pranks instead of stop crime.
I don’t know who said I should go to the Observatory. But if I remember someone’s getting shot with an umbrella. This place sucks. Who thought it was a good idea to put an observatory in the middle of a big city?! All I can see are helicopters and bat signals!
Whelp, that’s enough vacation! I’ve had it! Back to the war, it’s time to end this thing!
The Penguin moves from the Western Subway Station (#82), over the Gotham Zoo, to attack and takeover Gotham Observatory (#81).
I popped the question and she said yes! :D
We went up to the top of a parking garage. She loves to see the city lights at night so I decided to take her up there and ask her. I'm glad to start a life with her and see where this journey takes us.
I found vomit, broken toys, a tea-cup on its site.... but here you see... it wasn't him.... he is the angel himself....
I love

Dress, vintage, thrifted, and shortened three inches. Belt, Gap (thrifted). Earrings, thrifted. Pumps, thrifted. Purse, thrifted.
I tried, I really tried, to create an outfit with only $20. I found everything but the purse last Saturday at the St Vincent de Paul shop on Colerain Avenue. My receipt is incredibly hard to decipher, so I can’t tell you how much each item cost, but the total (including the bag I found at Goodwill a few years ago) was under $16.
I blew my budget when I took the pumps to the shoe repair shop for new heel tips. The shoes are all leather and have very little wear, but the old plastic heel tips had disintegrated with age. New tips set me back $10.65, putting me over the $20 limit.
Despite blowing my budget, I was excited to wear my 100% thrifted (if not less than $20) outfit to a showing of Brother Bailey’s Pageant of Moral Superiority and Creation Science Island Jamboree. My newly renovated shoes never made it to the show, though. After about 30 minutes of wear, my feet were killing me, and I changed into some back-up sandals (not pictured, but definitely more than $20 alone, even at TJ Maxx).
As I expected, the shoes were the troublesome element of a $20 outfit. Still, it was a good exercise in thrift, forced me to consider secondhand shoes, and was an education on how much of a bargain (or not) shoe repairs can be.
Fitting in baby shoot assignments during a short break from wedding work is a perfect way to keep yourself busy. Bearing in mind this was an extremely demanding assignment which tested my nerves and skills to the max, the end result has come out rewarding :)

When I go out shopping en femme, my main consideration is usually blending-in although wearing any type of dress or skirt runs counter to the prevailing trend. Yesterday's outfit was probably not in that blending-in category! Anyway, the only reaction I received was from the very cheerful sales assistant who said "You're very Summery". Every time I go out, I see more and more evidence that people are just too busy with their own lives and concerns to pay any attention to anyone else, including little old me!
yesterday, i posted a different angle of this raindrop, and Lisa (chiligirlll) detected and admired the pastels and pinks in the image, and since this angle displays a good measure more of what Lisa likes, i suspect this shot will please her all the more.

Well… Big 'Roadtrip 2010' has finally come to an end. I just returned to home base in Mesa, Arizona, a few days ago. I left in mid, May, so It's been nearly seven months on the road. I've had the same routine for the past several years. 6-7 months on the road, then spend the winter in Mesa to catch up on computer work.
This trip has been interesting. Not great, but, interesting. Alright… To be perfectly honest… It's been my worst roadtrip in the five years that I have lived in the motorhome! Yeah, there have been a few good moments. But… They have been few and far between. It ended well. The last couple of weeks have been great for photography. Bisti Badlands was awesome. I had some great shooting at Monument Valley. But… In general… This has been kind of the Murphy's Law trip. Anything that could go wrong, went wrong. Anything that could break, broke.
The weather was the biggest kick in the ass. Motorhomes are just not built for temperature extremes. The air conditioning is not great. The heat is not great. When I decided to live in a motorhome, the whole idea was to go to warm places in the winter, and cool places in the summer. That didn't really work out this summer. I knew this trip had to happen, and I'm glad to get it over with. The company I shoot for covers everything from St Louis to San Diego. Last summer I just covered the western half of our territory. Coast of California. Utah. Western Colorado. Basically… All the cool stuff. That meant that, this year, I had to shoot the eastern half of our territory. Timing just didn't work out too well. I spent the first couple of months in northern Arizona, and New Mexico, where it was HOT! Then, by the end of july, I had moved on to Texas, where it was really, really, REALLY, HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like… About 105 degrees for two months straight!!! Then on to Louisiana, where it was HOT, and HUMID! (though, I actually rather liked Louisiana) Then on to Oklahoma, where it was STILL HOT!! After all the heat, I just wanted to get as far into the mountains as possible. I drove to a friends house in Colorado. He lives at 9000 feet elevation. When I left Oklahoma, it was 102 degrees. The next morning, when I woke up in Colorado, it was 28 degrees. Yes, seriously! That was a shock! It has been freezing ever since. I went to Denver, where it was COLD! Boulder was COLD! Colorado Springs, was COLD! The last leg of the trip was in New Mexico, where it was REALLY COLD!!! I had several nights in the single digits. The motorhome has never seen cold like that before. My final, REALLY cold night was in Farmington, NM. That one really did me in. It got down to 5 degrees. Even with an electric heater placed down by my water lines, and my faucets left dripping all night, my water system still froze and cracked in about five different places.
So… I'm glad to be back. I don't love Mesa. But… It's warm here. I know where everything is. It feels really good to be back in a familiar place after months of being in various random places. So, now it's time to look back through all the crappy photos I have shot of all the crappy places I have visited this summer. I will be posting a random assortment of all that crap over the next several months, as well as some new photos of the crappy scenery around Mesa. There should be lots to look forward to!
Now that I have gotten the eastern stuff out of the way. Next summer's trip should be a GREAT one. I would really like to see Yosemite and Lake Tahoe again.
'Everyone is beautiful, which means that I am beautiful too.' - Just in case you couldn't read my poor hand writing
Whoever reads this, you're beautiful and someone out there is crazy about you. So smile. Life is too short to be unhappy.
Just a little something for Amy's 'I am beautiful' project for self harm awareness day.
You can view the finished project video here.
Please excuse my huge teeth and the little mustache crease my smile makes.
Anyway, this image marks the start of accepting how I look at myself, because I don't think I am beautiful at all. I need to start believing it because I have wasted almost seventeen years not being comfortable about how I feel about myself. - Thanks to the images of 'perfection' in the media and comparing my flaws to other peoples' perfections I'd be happy with the way I look.
Manifiesto: En defensa de los derechos fundamentales en Internet
Ante la inclusión en el Anteproyecto de Ley de Economía sostenible de modificaciones legislativas que afectan al libre ejercicio de las libertades de expresión, información y el derecho de acceso a la cultura a través de Internet, los periodistas, bloggers, usuarios, profesionales y creadores de internet manifestamos nuestra firme oposición al proyecto, y declaramos que…
1.- Los derechos de autor no pueden situarse por encima de los derechos fundamentales de los ciudadanos, como el derecho a la privacidad, a la seguridad, a la presunción de inocencia, a la tutela judicial efectiva y a la libertad de expresión.
2.- La suspensión de derechos fundamentales es y debe seguir siendo competencia exclusiva del poder judicial. Ni un cierre sin sentencia. Este anteproyecto, en contra de lo establecido en el artículo 20.5 de la Constitución, pone en manos de un órgano no judicial -un organismo dependiente del ministerio de Cultura-, la potestad de impedir a los ciudadanos españoles el acceso a cualquier página web.
3.- La nueva legislación creará inseguridad jurídica en todo el sector tecnológico español, perjudicando uno de los pocos campos de desarrollo y futuro de nuestra economía, entorpeciendo la creación de empresas, introduciendo trabas a la libre competencia y ralentizando su proyección internacional.
4.- La nueva legislación propuesta amenaza a los nuevos creadores y entorpece la creación cultural. Con Internet y los sucesivos avances tecnológicos se ha democratizado extraordinariamente la creación y emisión de contenidos de todo tipo, que ya no provienen prevalentemente de las industrias culturales tradicionales, sino de multitud de fuentes diferentes.
5.- Los autores, como todos los trabajadores, tienen derecho a vivir de su trabajo con nuevas ideas creativas, modelos de negocio y actividades asociadas a sus creaciones. Intentar sostener con cambios legislativos a una industria obsoleta que no sabe adaptarse a este nuevo entorno no es ni justo ni realista. Si su modelo de negocio se basaba en el control de las copias de las obras y en Internet no es posible sin vulnerar derechos fundamentales, deberían buscar otro modelo.
6.- Consideramos que las industrias culturales necesitan para sobrevivir alternativas modernas, eficaces, creíbles y asequibles y que se adecuen a los nuevos usos sociales, en lugar de limitaciones tan desproporcionadas como ineficaces para el fin que dicen perseguir.
7.- Internet debe funcionar de forma libre y sin interferencias políticas auspiciadas por sectores que pretenden perpetuar obsoletos modelos de negocio e imposibilitar que el saber humano siga siendo libre.
8.- Exigimos que el Gobierno garantice por ley la neutralidad de la Red en España, ante cualquier presión que pueda producirse, como marco para el desarrollo de una economía sostenible y realista de cara al futuro.
9.- Proponemos una verdadera reforma del derecho de propiedad intelectual orientada a su fin: devolver a la sociedad el conocimiento, promover el dominio público y limitar los abusos de las entidades gestoras.
10.- En democracia las leyes y sus modificaciones deben aprobarse tras el oportuno debate público y habiendo consultado previamente a todas las partes implicadas. No es de recibo que se realicen cambios legislativos que afectan a derechos fundamentales en una ley no orgánica y que versa sobre otra materia.
Este manifiesto, elaborado de forma conjunta por varios autores, es de todos y de ninguno. Si quieres sumarte a él, difúndelo por Internet.

I got a response to my email and a reprieve for my stupidity.
*sigh of relief*
I delivered my artwork to the gallery.
I typed up my title lists and price lists.
I finished up several semi-big projects around the house.
I got caught up on processing and uploading my 365 pics.
now I find myself with time on my hands.
what shall I do?
hmmmm....
