but it's not a frown so it should count towards Ekky's No Frown Found Friday infiltration.

I owe some of you an apology. This week I found a lot of "Are you okay?" mails in my Flickr inbox and I'm sorry I didn't respond to you. I'm also sorry I disappeared without a trace. I'm okay! I'd like to hang around and play again, if you'll have me.

Como en años anteriores aprovecho una de mis fotos personales, para desearos a tod@s aquellos que queráis recibirlas, mis felicitaciones navideñas, llenas de Paz, Amor, Alegría, Perdón y un saco de buenas energías positivas.

En este Nacimiento, hay un pequeño pero importante detalle: El Niño Jesús no está. Quizás se haya ido de visita a casa de los políticos para pedirles que terminen YA con las guerras. Que dejen de fabricar y vender armas.

Seguro que estará por Siria, Rusia, USA, España...o similar

Feliz Pascua de Navidad!!!!!

As in previous years I took one of my personal photos, to wish you all those who want to receive them, my Christmas greetings, full of Peace, Love, Joy, Forgiveness and a bag of good positive energy.

In this Birth, there is a small but important detail: The Child Jesus is not. Perhaps he has visited the house of politicians to ask them to end wars already. Stop making and selling weapons.

Sure it will be for Syria, Russia, USA, Spain ... or similar

Happy Easter!

Comme les années précédentes, je prends un de mes photos personnelles, pour souhaiter à tous s ceux qui souhaitent les recevoir, mes cartes de Noël, plein de paix, d'amour, la joie, le pardon et un sac de bonne énergie positive.

Dans cette naissance, il y a un petit mais important détail: L'Enfant Jésus est pas. Peut-être qu'elle est partie des visites à domicile les politiciens en leur demandant de remplir et de guerres. Pour arrêter la fabrication et la vente d'armes.

Vous êtes sûr de la Syrie, la Russie, USA, Espagne ... ou similaire

Noël Joyeuses Pâques!

NO, not for valentines day.

Ed just said a really stupid thing, this was the "im sorry" part of it.

Woah woah woah second upload of the day. I went for a walk at so-called 'golden hour' which we don't seem to get in England very often. It was all totally overgrown and I walked like 5 miles alone in flip flops and I was terrorised by cows, sheep and nettles. I did find good locations to go to when we have nice weather and I got a few ideas along the way. So it wasn't all bad.

This was a total pain to expand, but my largest expansion yet. I couldn't decide on colour or black and white so colour is in the comments. :] This is a small bridge, and I almost dropped my remote in the river.

i had the profound pleasure of spending yesterday with mister oliver byrant (a.k.a. "all is revealed"), purveyor of darkness and shadow and mood and intensity and unabashed brilliance. as i was circling the information booth in grand central station, wondering if he'd recognize me, i turned around to find this smiling face flying at me like a divebombing sparrow, arms akimbo, gobbling me up with the hug of an old friend i'd never yet met.

why is australia so fucking far away?

The Birdbrain will be considered as a bad pun in this very situation so don't even start it here guys.

202/365 Aaargh I got told I wasn't needed at work this evening, then got home and there on the answering machine was 'Actually we do need you'. I need to do my essay! But I need the money too :( I was all set for a reasonably relaxed evening. It's not gonna happen. Sigh. Anyway, I hope this is slightly better than my last efforts :)

I'm hoping this is the start of something good, and the past is the past right? Time for a change :)

So, still pretty depressed. School keeps it off my mind but as soon as I get home, it hits me again. This morning was particularly bad for me. I don't know if you have realized it, but I havent smiled in a picture in a whole week. Which is very odd for me. I just noticed it today. Anyways, the person doing this to me knows who he is, and I want him to know that I am so sorry for what I did last night. I'd take it back in a heartbeat.

Have lovely days, everyone.

"I Miss You" -Blink 182

In memory of all the butterflies I caught when I was a child...

I have something to confess. I hate almost all insects (that's why I mercilessly killed them with my foot a lot when I was little), but the butterflies. I love the butterflies. That's why every time young me saw a butterfly, I tried to catch it because I loved it so much, I wanted it to be mine. I was a really great catcher, so I put them in containers. Of course, they died soon, of course, my granny and granddad scolded me and called me cruel. I didn't like that they think bad of me, it made me feel sad and confused, but nevertheless, I continued to imprison butterflies every time I visited my granny's beautiful garden until my early teens. Why? Because I wanted a collection! It didn't matter to me, that every one of my butterfly collections existed only when I lived at granny's because I wasn't able to pack it in a way it could survive the plane flight in the luggage compartment. I wasn't allowed to keep it there too, so I left only to return and start again, over and over.

Thankfully, when I got a bit older, I realized that what I did was wrong and in my last visits I caught butterflies only to release them immediately. You know, for the thrill of the hunt... For the sake of the craft I once mastered...

By the way, now I kill only pest insects (and only if I have a piece of paper because I'm also squeamish), and when I find a spider at home, I carefully carry it away (usually back to the balcony where they had a lot of webs). But I'm also aware of the fact that my childhood tendencies are still there, they only transformed, but never fully gone... :|

I'm so sorry, my butterflies. May you rest in the land of flowers.

Hey guys. Please read this I really want to explain why I haven't been around much lately, beyond my physical health issues. I just wanted to apologize to everyone of you. I feel like I've let EVERYONE down in some way recently and I want to just... apologize. So here we go:

Flickr, I'm sorry for my absence. I could say I was busy (I have been but, not busy enough to not fit in photography) or that there was something tragic happening that detoured me from taking photos. Those are all lies. It wasn't even the fact of motivation. It was the fact that for some reason every single activity I once loved is now an area of stress to me. I've basically abandoned everything in my life that once brought me pleasure. I've walked away from everything that people could critique me on. Art, Photography, Martial Arts. All of that. I use to live and breath those things, and now I can't even get the courage to participate in any of them. Its PERFECTIONISM, and its gotten the best of me. It's caused SO MUCH performance anxiety that at times its so hard to function.

I'll be the first to say, I have issues. Irrational issues at that. But I'm putting this out there in the world because its about time for people to understand whats going on. God knows I've had a hard time getting the courage to explain.

Which brings me to my second apology. There are alot of people out there who think I've dropped off the face of the earth. I such at communication. I have people who want to get senior photos taken and NUMEROUS teachers who haven't heard a thing from me. I PROMISE, I will get around to messaging or calling you, but its taking some time. :/

Friends. I'm sorry that I haven't been very... friendly. I feel like I've hurt a lot of people because of my inflexibility due to health and mental state. I've lost a lot of you guys, and I suck at getting around to explaining and actually bringing up the courage to speak to some of you. Again.. I'm super bad at communicating. Please forgive me. I'm not your ideal person to be friends with, but I am human?? I'm the WORST person to make plans. Again. Bad at communication, and following through with things. Not something you want in a friend... I know.

And I'm sorry that these tones suck. And that it slightly looks like I have a bun in the oven, I DONT (don't worry). Its just prints never look good on me. xD

I hope that explains atleast something...

"life starts at the end of your comfort zone..." And I'm trying to step out again. Its just been difficult.

Even though I'm a screwed up human being don't let that detour you from following my photography. It's meant so much to me that I've had numerous members come up to me with encouraging words.

Oh, yeah... my PRO account expires in like... 3 days. xD forgot to tell you guys that.

I LOVE YOU FLICKR.

I'm not dead.

I took a photo! Finally, its only been a week. I've been a horrible contact this week, actually I haven't really been a contact at all, and I'm so sorry! Homework and college apps and piano suddenly became so overwhelming, and I had to take a break from taking photos and going on flickr. I'm going to use the few photos I took on my trip last week that didn't include family members to fill in those days that I missed, and then use some old photos and some that I took today to fill in the days that I missed this week. So expect a huge spam of photos over the next couple of days:)

And I'm sorry I've had so many balcony shots like this lately, but the sky was just so pretty today:)

and I want to thank a girl, dreaming her life away for the testimonial:) her photos are amazing and so creative, and the testimonial really meant a lot to me:)

I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry.

I don't even like this photo.

I feel so inadequate today.

I don't want to go through all of this again.

For six word story.

Happy Macro Monday, everyone!

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.

H / Day 40 - July 8th, 2009.

H is for Hey Jude.

This isn't really a good picture. But it's one of those pictures that if you look at it, really look at it, then there's nothing else to say.

This is terrifying for me to post. 50% terrifying, 50% relief.

I truly apologize from the bottom of my heart if it makes you uncomfortable in any way. I'll take it down if you want.

I'm not uploading this to any of the ABC or 365 groups because I feel that it is far too intensely personal. I'm already regretting putting this up to be honest.

Hey Jude is so much more than a song to me.

Thank you Jennalee for helping me this morning and painting on my back. I can't thank you enough but I ended up going with this instead. I hope you're not upset. Thank you again for painting on me though :) But I think you understand this. Of all people, you do, my love. Remember when you were asking me this morning about meaning? Now we both know.

Pictures of Titan up soon soon and HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY. It's your birthday tomorrow. I have a sick card for you. Which may or may not include a dinosaur.<3

my many apologies to all my brilliant Flickr friends whose beautiful work I have neglected over the past weeks. I am in the throes of my biggest project of the year and all my time has been usurped.

I will be back in two weeks, renewed and reinvigorated...i promise!

Ralph like to mark his territory. The first day he met Lola, he peed on her back leg.. As for Willard, well he just gets in the way and has had his head peed on. The day that I was standing near some weeds and he ended up peeing on me, was going too far....... I had to change my clothes before going to work. Fortunately, these peeing episodes haven't happened in a long time and may be over!

-Tori Amos

i've been doing a bit of soul searching lately. corresponding with an estranged friend who wronged me.... and then i wronged her... and so we're in this weird therapeutic place opening up old wounds and talking it all out. it hurts. last year was bad year. i'm ready to work on me. i've apologized to those i've wronged. (the ones that mattered anyway) and i'm working on being a kinder, better human being.

in lighter, happier, more exciting news....

i ordered my camera today.

my 5D mark iii will arrive on wednesday the 11th. i am beyond excited. can.not.wait.

May I present-"Happy C-ehN-ehD-eh Day. That's how we spell Canada here in Canada. If you aren't Canadian, or haven't lived here, don't worry, you probably won't get this. lol And, may I say, officially, speaking for all Canadians, "I'm sorry." (Another inside joke.) This shot is an angry Canadian mob, protesting the price of gas, and, excessive taxation. In between chants of "Lower Taxes" can be heard a whispered, anxious "I'm Sorry", by each of the protesters. ;-);-)

and when the angels come

they'll cut you down the middle

to see if you're still there

to see if you're still there

and underneath your ribs

they'll find the heart shaped locket

an old photograph of you in daddy's arms

and then they'll sew you closed

and give you back to the water

from where we're all born

from where we're all born

and you'll feed the ghosts

and you'll feed the living

you'll be a stranger

and you'll a friend

you'll be the leper

and you'll be the healer

you'll be the hero

and the tragedy

and when they sew you closed

they'll give you back to the water

from where we're all born

from where we're all born

and when they burn your body

all thats left is sand crystals

two tiny handfuls

all the rest is water, water, water

all you need to know

is you were born of water

you are made of water

you are living water, water, water

all you need to know

is you were born of water

you are made of water

you are living water, water, water

all you need to know

is you were born of water

you are made of water

you are living water, water, water

What a Rose Can Say

A rose can say I love you

And want you to be mine,

a rose can say I thank you

For being so very kind,

A rose can say congratulations,

Whatever the occasion may be,

a rose can say I miss you

And wish you were here with me,

A rose can say I'm sorry

If I've hurt you in any way,

a rose can say get well

soon,

May God bless you today?

A rose can say I wish you happiness,

And the best for you each day.

A rose can say farewell

When someone goes away,

A rose can say hello,

I'm thinking of you today,

there are just so many wonderful things

That a rose can say,

A rose can say goodbye

When a love one is laid to rest,

No matter what there is to say,

A rose can say it best.

Secret #22: I'm sorry!

I say these words far too often. I always like to apologize when I have hurt someone, but I say it even if it is not my fault! I should really start valuating my words more.

Today I'm sorry for not uploading for almost a week. I am taking pictures, I skipped only one day, but I am just too busy to edit. I realized that taking my photo every day is taking too much time lately and I had a really hard week, so decided to slow things down on my project. I just had some catching up to do at the university. I will upload really soon, I promise! I love you all! Have fun meanwhile :)

p.s. The photo was SOOC but I did a little editing on Picnik

no photoshop

the street looked so beautiful tonight!

it was so foggy outside,

and the it was right after the sunset, so the sky was BEAUTIFUL.

so, this looks like i softened it, but honestly, thats the fog!

and those colours are real ! i sweaar! the orange is from all the streetlights, and the navy is the sky obviously ! :)

im sorry to say this is most likely my last upload.. for good.

thank you to all of my wonderful contacts, who have so graciously taken their time to answer my dumb questions about photography, or just left nice comments :)

goodbye :(

Oh, the things I did for the absence of a certain man's love.
