- Joseph Arthur, In the Sun
**Explored**
It's gloomy out today. Not quite raining, but dark enough to ruin any hope of a natural light shot. So I had to play around with ghetto bathroom lighting again. Fun stuff. This shot is for one of the weekly challenge songs selected by Daynna for Musically Challenged.
I've been having some major self-image issues lately. I'm not saying that to fish for compliments. I know that my friends will always tell me I'm cute and that it's what's inside that matters most. And I love you all for that. But sometimes, despite this 365, I just feel like I spend so much time hiding myself. Even in my pictures, I show what I want to show. It's no more reality than a movie or magazine ad. I think I've spent my whole life worrying about how others see me. And that realization is disconcerting and uncomfortable right now.
365 Days (self portraits): Day 232
Musically Challenged: Joseph Arthur - In the Sun
This is the hallway to the main casino floor inside the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel. As you can see, the marble floor is highly reflective, they must be polishing it every couple hours or so... I was surprised that the hotel was actually bigger than the one in Las Vegas!
Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.

Citée HLM en banlieue toulousaine, Coquito, 45 ans, ancien militaire aujourd'hui handicapé et gravement malade.
Son appartement est son royaume, qu'il quitte rarement pour des séjours à l'hôpital. Avec environ 600€ par mois de revenus à quels rèves peut-il prétendre encore ?
Parmis tous ces objets qui meublent son appartement, chacun à une vraie histoire et font remonter à la surface tous ses souvenirs "d'avant", mais ils contiennent aussi et surtout un rève bien plus beau. Une petite gemme qui ne brille qu'à ses yeux, sa bouffée d'oxygène.
housing in the suburbs of Toulouse, Coquito, 45, former military today disabled and seriously ill.
His apartment is his kingdom, he rarely leaves for hospital stays. With approximately 600 € monthly income which dreams can he say?
Of all these objects that furnish his apartment, each with a real history and are rising to the surface all his memories of "before", but they also contain and above all a dream much more beautiful. A small gem that shines not only his eyes, his breath of oxygen.

Into a very nice Najran mud house, in the oasis, those kids do not live their, but come in week end time to keep the traditions alive, in their grand father house.
The mud house has 7 (seven!) floors!

Quote from one of my favorite musicians Frank Zappa. I didn't have this quote in mind when I put the trophy next to the record player for this shot, but in hindsight it makes me look like a genius now! I love it when a plan comes together.... even if it never was a plan to begin with.
Rooms here look as though they were frozen in time. Desks, books, beakers, etc all sit on the shelves waiting for someone to come and get them.
I juiced the contrast on this quite a bit, added 3 layers ( one a texture, one a high pass and heck if I can remember the 3rd one. Sorry ) to get the effect of an old picture. Had a great time on a shoot with my friends. Hope to do it again soon.

...using the wisdom from another recent attempt, I made the following changes:
1. Washed the windshield and side windows
2. Positioned the tripod right behind the passenger seat. I was able to secure it used just one seatbelt (the passengers), but it was a very tight squeeze and took several attempts to strap the tripod securely to the seat. One attempt backfired badly (the cut on my nose tells the tale after an awkward encounter with my Manfrotto tripod).
3. Fisheye lens
4. Lots of traffic (driving home from work northbound on I-35). I got all of these (and many more) during about 20 minutes of driving on I-35 between Norman and OKC. It helps that this stretch of interstate has 3 lanes of traffic, street lights in the middle and lots of commercial activity on both sides (neon signs).
...and I think it worked out great :)
One caveat (beside the lack of a convertible!) is cropping the fisheye image. I'm still clueless on defishing (PS + DXO Optics). I don't use PS and only have it on one computer I don't use. So for now I crop. Input on this is very much welcome!
My little granddaughter, Rosie May, dutifully modelling for me at our belated Thanksgiving day meal on Sunday. (Everyone comes to dinner with a pop-up backdrop, pair of SB-600s, PowerSnoots and a range of lenses, right? That's perfectly normal. So why don't my family believe me?)
Thought I'd never have another shot in Explore. This squeaked in for November 27th. Highest position - 244.
I love this scene inside an osteria, especially the concentration of these rounders and the background with the bottes of wines!

Casa Batlló, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Back to Barcelona for todays upload. This was taken last year when I had my old A77 and the trusty old Sigma 10-20, looking back at these images reminds me how much better my A99 is with the Zeiss glass, in a complete different league and well chuffed I made the leap to FF and invest in some decent glass.
This is one of the rooms inside the Casa Batllo, which was designed by the awesome architect Gaudi. This type of architecture is referred to as 'Organic Architecture' due its organic nature. Gaudi was so far ahead of his time and you often see this type of architecture replicated in modern buildings today.

Location Information
Casa Batlló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə βəʎˈʎo]) is a renowned building located in the heart of Barcelona and is one of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces. Casa Batlló is a remodel of a previously built house. It was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that. Casa Batlló evokes the creativity and playfulness of Gaudí’s work through the incrassate facades and creative floors. Gaudí's assistants Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, Josep Canaleta and Joan Rubió also contributed to the renovation project.
The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.
The building looks very remarkable — like everything Gaudí designed, only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, is rather astonishing with tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work.
It seems that the goal of the designer was to avoid straight lines completely. Much of the façade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencadís) that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the lance of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia, Gaudí's home), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.

Listen to "Armstrong" - Claude Nougaro : www.radioblogclub.fr/open/120324/nougaro/Claude Nougaro - Amstrong
"Bois d'ébène" était l'expression utilisée par les négriers français quand ils parlaient des esclaves. L'ébène de la clarinette pourrait être le symbole de l'oppression des noirs et l'or des clés celui de la richesse accumulée par les esclavagistes.
La ville de Bordeaux fut malheureusement le premier port négrier de France pendant près de 200 ans.
Bien que Louis Armstrong ait toujours joué de la trompette, cette chanson me paraissait appropriée.
"Ebony wood" was the expression used by the French slave traders when they spoke about the slaves. The ebony of the clarinet could be the symbol of the oppression of Black people and the golden keys the one of the richness accumulated by the slave owners.
The city of Bordeaux was unfortunately the first slave trader harbour in France for nearly 200 years.
Although Louis Armstrong always played the trumpet, this song seemed to me appropriate.
Armstrong
Claude Nougaro
Armstrong, je ne suis pas noir,
Je suis blanc de peau.
Quand on veut chanter l'espoir,
Quel manque de pot.
Oui, j'ai beau voir le ciel, l'oiseau,
Rien, rien, rien, ne luit là-haut.
Les anges ... zéro.
Je suis blanc de peau.
Armstrong, tu te fends la poire,
On voit toutes tes dents.
Moi, je broie plutôt du noir,
Du noir en dedans.
Chante pour moi, Louis, oh oui !
Chante, chante, chante, ça tient chaud !
J'ai froid, oh moi
Qui suis blanc de peau.
Armstrong, la vie, quelle histoire !
C'est pas très marrant.
Qu'on l'écrive blanc sur noir,
Ou bien noir sur blanc,
On voit surtout du rouge, du rouge,
Sang, sang, sans trêve ni repos,
Qu'on soit, ma foi
Noir ou blanc de peau.
Armstrong, un jour, tôt ou tard
On n'est que des os.
Est-ce que les tiens seront noirs?
Ce serait rigolo.
Allez Louis, alléluia !
Au-delà de nos oripeaux,
Noir et blanc seront ressemblants
Comme deux gouttes d'eau.
Armstrong
Armstrong, I am not black,
I am white-skinned.
When you want to sing hope,
What a hard luck.
Yes, I see the sky , the bird in vain,
Nothing, nothing, nothing, shines up there.
Angels... zero.
I am white-skinned.
Armstrong, you’re laughing,
We see all your teeth.
I rather have the blues,
Blues inside myself.
Sing for me, Louis, oh yes!
Sing, sing, sing, that keeps warm!
I am cold, oh me !
Who is white-skinned.
Armstrong, life, what a story!
It’s not very funny.
Whether you write it white on black,
Or black on white,
We see mainly red, red,
Blood, blood, without truce nor rest,
Whether you are, indeed,
Black or white-skinned.
Armstrong, one day, sooner or later
We are only bones.
Will yours be black?
It would be funny.
Go on Louis, Alleluia!
Beyond our tinsels,
Black and white are as like
As two peas.

in 2010 I visited a friend of mine in Paris. On the last day I decided to spend a whole day in the famous Louvre museum. On the right side of this long corridor was the room with the most celebrated painting by Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa.

"Chapel in the Sky" - this is what is at the top of the Chicago Temple Building. It's hard to tell, but this is up in the point of a skyscraper. I'm including a shot with the window open so you can get a perspective.
This chapel holds seating for about 30 people. It was installed up there by Myrtle Walgreen in memory of her husband, who started the Walgreens drugstores. The wood used came from Walgreen's property.

The following Christmas I received this Sindy wardrobe, the original ones were pink and white. One of the feet is broken and the rail for the inside of the door has been lost.
The clothes inside are a mix of some of the ones I had as a child and some I bought later as an adult.
The drawing room is where family and guests were taken a bit like the den of our day.This view was quite subdued and we had to STAY with the group of visitors ,I always tend to try to be last to capture what I can without causing a disturbance ,also we were asked to stay on the carpet so it was trying to capture a scene without a person or the guide asking me to hurry along .lol! Much easier to get the scene correct in the camera first! Not much for photoshop but am willing to learn...terribly happy they allowed cameras inside!!
The reason the owners agreed to sell after some time was REPAIRS were so costly in a 10,000 square foot home and the roof leaked terribly.Vandalism was also of great concern,in the drawing room the facade of the fireplace the mantel had been removed due to this!
hoodies are my absolute favorite. period.
the sun is out today, and it's making me soooo happy inside! i just love when the warm sun shines in my eyes :)
i'm anxiously awaiting my friend stephanie's post about our conversation last night. she's doing a truly inspiring project called 500 conversations and i can't wait to see what she writes about our convo.. we had a GREAT one!!! I think it's great! you should all check it out, and look to see when our convo recap gets posted.. she even took a silly pic of me :P
i should be doing about 15 things right now, but i'm rather distracted, and i think i'll go take a nap with my puppy <3
later flickr lovelies!!!

It's raining today so I was forced to do a inside shoot. I decided to do a floating one cause that was my back up plan in case I couldn't go outside. I got the idea for it after seeing a commercial for that new movie The Fourth Kind. My sister want's to go see it, but I dunno, it doesn't look that good to me for some reason. I mean they make the alien seem like the bogey man.
I have to go to work in like an hour. I need money real bad. I went shopping yesterday and I spent way more then I was suppose to. My large format camera fund has taken a bit of a set back, it needs to be replenished. So off to work I must go. Straight into the jaws of the baby eater a.k.a my boss. All tho for some reason she has been really nice to me lately. I dunno, seems very fishy to me.
Halloween is next week, WOO HOO! Can't wait, it's gonna be great! :D I need to buy mini Polaroid film! :O O shit, where am I gonna get all this money? That's it, I'm selling a kidney!
