As I go to different places to photograph the landscape, I also look and document the plant life. Knowing the difference between native and non-native plants will give insights into how the land has changed. I've been photographing native and non-native plants and flowers for a while. This photo was taken close to where I grew up in the Mojave Desert.
I've been playing around with the color in these, decreasing the luminance of the areas I don't want to emphasize and doing a bit of color grading. I have no problems pushing my black and whites into unrealistic tones and contrasts, but I've always had a block when it came to color. I told myself to let go and use color like I use tones in black and white.

A Hummer H3 (2006-2010) and a Gen1 Honda Insight Hybrid (2000-2006), at the parking lot of a McDonald's restaurant somewhere west of Dearborn, Michigan. Just from an EPA fuel economy standpoint at face value, one travels about 4 times as far as the other on the same amount of fuel. Not making a value judgment here. One carries twice as many passengers than the other. Fortunately, there are many more choices available in the field of transportation!

The latest Design Insights for my years-long project to build the entirety of Imperial Rome are now posted on my Patreon page! These insights cover the VELABRUM; the region of Ancient Rome which sat at a crossroads between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills.
Like the Arch of Janus depicted in the sneak peek rendering, this post marks a turning point in the progression of this project which I first announced on the Kalends of January. It has taken some time to lift off the ground, but the steadfast support of all my patrons has helped me reach a point where the design updates will now be coming fast & furious over the next several weeks of intense design efforts.
I very much still need your support in making this project a reality! It's no stretch to say that this is my most comprehensive - and exciting - project to date. It takes a village to realize any ambitious undertaking, but this is certainly not without its rewards. I encourage you to visit my Patreon page and consider contributing. In exchange, patrons will be the first to see all the newly designed areas, with exclusive perks and further insights / access for the higher tiers.
To put it another way, the soldiers are being mustered, the generals have made their offerings at the Temple of Mars Ultor, and the legions are now marching toward the frontier for the long campaign season ahead! Onward - and festina lente!
Good morning flickr-friends!
I've to do a thousand pictures for my photography works but I'm too lazy now! ;/

We interrupt our previously scheduled program of photos of historic sites to bring you this human interest story.
I loved my 2001 Saturn. It really broke my heart when GMC discontinued making Saturns. Actually, no. It made and makes me angry that they let that division (and Pontiac and Olds) go and kept the.... Well, you get the idea.
I intended to keep my Saturn until it just wouldn't run. But it was using oil and I got a leak in the radiator. It was just time, I guess. 176,000 miles is a lot of miles.
But none of this explains my stress in buying a new car. Normally I think I could buy a new car everyday without breaking a sweat. But let me write two words and see how you react: car payments. I haven't made car payents in seven (7) years. And money is already tight.
I'm not a new car kind of guy. I don't get a testosterone lift out inhaling the interior of a new automobile, but the (my) Honda Insight is a tech lover's delight. It's a hyrid and has enough engineering thingies behind it to make every operation a fascinating study. Great car so far. Mileage: 43 miles to the gallon and increasing. Update 1/24/11 - 52 miles per gallon.
NB: I’ve lost track of the year, but the above photo was used in a Honda commercial on TV.
Here's a link to it, although it's a crude copy from TV.
In my more than ten years worth of work, this is the first time I have ever revealed the full design process for any project! Become a CORINTHIAN patron today to view the *entire* digital redesign of Eiffel Tower, and learn about how I was able to use parametric design in Stud.io to make this possible!

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

NASA's InSight lander just hitched a ride to Mars on an Atlas V rocket! ETA: November 26, 2018. This was the first interplanetary mission to leave from California and it was a joy to watch it go! This is a long-exposure shot of the rocket streaking through the sky seen from about 85 miles away from the launch site at Vandeberg AFB. #NASA #InSight #Mars #ULA #AtlasV

View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey

InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to study the "inner space" of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core.

The last of my portrait series. Meet Shiou - award-wnning architect. He has such a wonderful sense of style and just projects lots of intelligence and self-assuredness. The first few shots he had his glasses on and was looking straight into the camera. Towards the end, I asked Shiou to remove his glasses and 'play with them'. He took them off and immediately settled into this natural state of rest. I snapped. I glanced at the LCD and smiled.

Modeling the new black & gold & "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Dynamic Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Odyssey Physics here:
herosodysseyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D810's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
