People Connecting... one of a series of shots from a photoshoot I had tonight.
Tech Info: Three Photogenic 1250's fired from behind a white paper seemless, with two White Lighting X1600's to the right and left of the camera with grids feathered just to hit the edges of the face with the power lowered down a good bit. Flashes triggered by Pocket Wizards Plus II's and captured with a Canon 5D w/ 24-70mm f/2.8L lens.
We've had a pretty good winter, with lots of snow and cold winter weather that started early in the season and kept going at regular intervals. (I know I'm in the minority when I define that kind of winter as "good," but I think it's far better than the interminable mud seasons we've had for the last several years.) We had enough cold stretches that I'd have expected more lake ice along the shore than this, but things at Illinois Beach seemed a little muted. There were some nice formations, but they only barely reached into the water. With the long stretches of sub-arctic cold we've had, I'd have expected ice several hundred feet out into the water.
But then, I don't come up to Illinois Beach often -- Robin and I have only come up here in the winter twice before -- so maybe the currents are too strong here for a lot of ice to form. Maybe it all gets pushed south toward Chicago. I haven't been to Indiana Dunes this season, so I don't know what the ice has been like down there.
Side Note: If you've been following this page for more than 12 years, you might remember a trip we took way back in 2014 to see the ice caves of the Apostle Islands up on Wisconsin's Lake Superior shore. This is a rare situation when the National Park Service actually allows and encourages people to walk out onto lake ice ... but only in certain conditions. Lake Superior has to have had an especially cold winter, and the ice around the caves had to be firmly locked in between the many offshore islands in the area. Until this year, conditions have only been right for the caves one more time since out 2014 trip, two years later in 2016. We thought maybe things might work out this year, and were ready to rejigger our schedules to head up on short notice, but the notice turned out to be too short. The National Park Service did open the ice caves on February 16th, and from what I've heard, the crowds were wild. But then a winter storm came through the very next day, which churned up the lake and broke all the ice, and that was it for the Apostle Island ice caves. The first access to the ice caves in a decade lasted a total of 16 hours, and it might be another decade before it happens again. Or these 16 hours might have been the last time anybody will see the ice caves for the rest of human civilization.
But Robin and I are happy. We saw the ice caves in 2014, and they were spectacular. So the lesson we take to heart from this is that if something special happens, take advantage of it now. Don't wait for the situation to reach some tenuous form of ideal. Do it while you can.
Tyke is shaping up to Lou(note his bulging eyes), trying to get a rise out of Lou. She was more interested in sleeping than any antics, the confines of the Highsider providing security.
On the day we visited the New Orleans Art Institute, award winning local art was prominent throughout the museum. This struck me as a unversally tender and comforting interaction. The colors in the background added ethnicity to the scene. It was lovely.
To interact, is sometimes the only way to achieve goals. And maybe the smartest...
Best viewed on black.
Just had to pop in & say " Hi " ... Hope you are all well & happy ... had to leave a few hearts for all of you today ... I seem to have left part of my heart here in this group, even with all that is going on in my life, I think about all of you & miss the interaction dearly ... thanks for all of the support & well wishes for myself & my family, you have no idea how much it means to me ... don't know when I will be back on a regular basis but for now ... I send my love to all of you on this Valentines day :)

BIOPIRACY - In the recent past, patents on our genes have been purchased. Are we still the sole proprietor of our bodies? From this question arises a sense of arrested freedom in one's most intimate, solitary state. A mix of ready-to-wear and couture pieces is presented with artist Lawrence Malstaf -who specializes in the interaction between biology and physicality.
Models float in the air, embryonic, seemingly weightless and in a meditative suspended animation.
Metamorphosis is suggested through intricate enmeshing of materials. Imprisoned fire opal beads gleam through lacerated weaves, artificial fibers compose voluminous, architectural structures, the organic ripple of light on water.
A 3D printing collaboration with Julia Koerner fuses the artisanal with the technical to create a kinetic dress which dances as it amplifies bodily movement. Molded boots in collaboration with United Nude accelerate and reconfigure the silhouette.

heic2106 — Hubble Photo Release Hubble Inspects a Contorted Spiral Galaxy
This spectacular image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the trailing arms of NGC 2276, a spiral galaxy 120 million light-years away in the constellation of Cepheus. At first glance, the delicate tracery of bright spiral arms and dark dust lanes resembles countless other spiral galaxies. A closer look reveals a strangely lopsided galaxy shaped by gravitational interaction and intense star formation.
This striking image showcases the unusually contorted appearance of NGC 2276, an appearance caused by two different astrophysical interactions — one with the superheated gas pervading galaxy clusters, and one with a nearby galactic neighbour.
The interaction of NGC 2276 with the intracluster medium — the superheated gas lying between the galaxies in galaxy clusters — has ignited a burst of star formation along one edge of the galaxy. This wave of star formation is visible as the bright, blue-tinged glow of newly formed massive stars towards the left side of this image, and gives the galaxy a strangely lopsided appearance. NGC 2276’s recent burst of star formation is also related to the appearance of more exotic inhabitants — black holes and neutron stars in binary systems.
On the other side of the galaxy from this burst of new stars, the gravitational attraction of a smaller companion is pulling the outer edges of NGC 2276 out of shape. This interaction with the small lens-shaped galaxy NGC 2300 has distorted the outermost spiral arms of NGC 2276, giving the false impression that the larger galaxy is orientated face-on to Earth [1]. NGC 2276 and its disruptive companion NGC 2300 can both be seen in the accompanying image, which shows a wider view of the interacting galaxies.
NGC 2276 is by no means the only galaxy with a strange appearance. The Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies — a catalogue of unusual galaxies published in 1966 — contains a menagerie of weird and wonderful galaxies, including spectacular galaxy mergers, ring-shaped galaxies, and other galactic oddities. As befits an unusually contorted galaxy, NGC 2276 has the distinction of being listed in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies twice — once for its lopsided spiral arms and once for its interaction with its smaller neighbour NGC 2300.
Notes
[1] The actual alignment of NGC 2276 can be inferred from the position of its brightly glowing galactic core, which is offset from the distorted spiral arms.

This young lady dragged me on to the floor for a few dances, then promptly went to sleep on my friend June's shoulder and had to be put to bed by her mates early. It only happens when you are a Tgirl.

I'm not sure if this was a love-in or a falling-out. One minute they appeared to be head butting and the next just rubbing heads.

Originally, this was going to be finished in a weekend, but I decided to use the mirror background which I promptly ran out of. Once I got more mirrors, it went pretty fast. But then...This was a real challenge to grout, but definitely worth it in the end :)

COUP DE GUEULE : Mon compte vient d'être censuré sans préavis par le staff car j'ai omis de signaler en modéré les photos dénudées, bien que très soft de mon épouse, certaines de mes photographies ne figurent donc plus dans les groupes auxquelles elles étaient rattachées je m'en excuse !
Aux pudibonds qui ont jugé utiles de signaler ces photographies aux instances de Flickr je dirai qu'ils eut été plus judicieux de me contacter directement et j'aurais fait le nécessaire dans les meilleurs délais. Si vous avez jugé utile de les signaler c'est que vous avez pris le temps de les regarder alors à l'avenir passez votre chemin , surtout ne me "suivez" surtout pas !!! Bon vent !!
______________________________________________
My account has been censored without notice by the staff because I failed to point to moderate the nude photos , though very soft of my wife , some of my photographs therefore no longer included in the groups to which they were attached I apologize !
To the prudish who judged useful to report these photographs to Flickr instances I will say that they had been better to contact me directly and I would have taken action as soon as possible . If you have seen fit to report is that you took the time to look in the future then go your way , especially dont " follow " me, especially not !!! Good wind !!
