I am usually hostile when interrupted during the twilight hour because every minute counts at this time of the day and I usually have about 20 - 30 minutes of good light to get the shots I want.
So when a pretty young girl turned up with her camera and asked my help in getting the best picture of this view of London from the Hungerford Bridge, I obliged without any hesitation and temporarily abandoned my Panorama.
By the time, I took her through the scene modes of her camera and explained the best approach to get the shot she wanted, the light had changed and my panorama was ruined . . .
I've been back there since April but I never quite got the light I wanted so I am stuck with this one . . .
This is the Embankment Pier, the road behind is the Victoria Embankment and the bridge on the right is the Waterloo Bridge.

More from the plethora of images I came back with last weekend and another from Robin Hoods Bay. Some interesting rock formations in the bay, I couldn't resist a bit of ten stop magic on this one. Theres such a feeling of peaceful calm in this shot it's hard to believe how many families were rockpooling all around me.

(63/365) Years ago I was gifted two hollowed out ostrich eggs. No baby ever hatched hence interrupted incipience (beginning). I do wonder if somebody enjoyed scrambled ostrich eggs.

A child playing melodies in the street to help his family, thus they can find food. He is working in Damascus, which is still under the rule of Assad's Government, but does the Government care about its people?

A song, a dance, a fleeting moment,
captured, if only for
a second
before another comes along

Two artists who bring me joy through their photos.
(charcoal drawing on paper; 28 x 26 cm)
Even though nature may “insist” for us to choose between HAPPINESS and MEANING, it does not mean that it’s “impossible” for us to have both.
I think that I cannot “always” have both HAPPINESS and MEANING at the same time but as long as I can find MEANING in my life, I know I’ll find HAPPINESS there too “at certain times” no matter how brief or long it lasts.
I know I am happy whenever I make a piece of art simply because I enjoy doing it…but what does that mean? It means I have to endure a life full of uncertainties and "false hopes".
Despite all this, if I must choose, I’ll choose MEANING as I’m certain that I cannot totally “just” be happy. I believe, just like any other feelings ( e.g. sadness, grief, etc.), HAPPINESS too shall pass…it always does. MEANING, on the other hand, is definite as it gives us purpose…the reason to live “no matter what”. I would rather know that there is a meaning for ALL the things I’ve been through in life than to be a happy person by ignoring my past that I cannot “just” forget.
However, though I choose MEANING, I don’t live in the present “entirely” for the benefit of my future because for all I know I may die today. I honestly do not desire a longer life. I just want to “live” the life I’m given by learning from my past and doing the best I can with what I have until the day I stop breathing (period).
This is a "dark background" version of the 13'th portrait piece (Winona Ryder inspired) of my SHADOWS series where face features are created and accentuated by deleting parts of a shaded area. Actual lines are only used around the "eye area".
The SHADOWS series is a collection of portraits intending to show emotions OTHER than those typical portrayal of complete happiness and joy as I hope to convey those I believe are “meaningful” part of someone’s life.
BOTH interrupted. Yesterday's sunset at the Fox River interrupted by clouds. My son Henry's senior year of high school interrupted by a worldwide health crisis.
Of course there will be other days with spectacular sunsets as there are brighter things ahead for Henry. He has taken it in stride and has a good attitude about it. Reflective, I guess, of the mindset of he and his peers, born into a world where things happen close to home (Henry was born just a few days before 9-11). The sad fact is that Henry’s world is much less care-free than the world I knew at his age.
He has let his whiskers grow during this time schooling remotely from home – a badge he wears from the experience.
Henry recently committed to the University of Minnesota at Duluth for Fall 2020 (good Lord willin') where he will enter as a Biochemistry major in the honors program with plans to declare a second major (English) as he is able to in his first year.
Go get ‘em, kid. Tune out the noise, overcome interruptions and make a splash.
I finished this and rephotographed it on Oct. 23:

Just a quick sketch tonight, after getting our youngest to sleep. I had thought I'd do an homage to Escher’s three worlds--leaves floating on the water, trees reflected, and of course a carp beneath the surface. But I worked quickly and put in the artist's hand working a partial drawing, also I have a chickadee flying over the drawing, wings flapping to disrupt the surface and throwing his own little reflection into the work. It's a fun concept but I didn't really execute it well. It would take a good stretch of time to redo it larger scale and more carefully--time I probably don't have right now :-) so Ill just post the sketch.
We were surprised to find a bit of "white water" on the Cass River in Vassar, MI. A collapsed concrete structure formed the "rocks" that created this. Shot at ISO 64 with a polarizer and Marc's 2 stop ND filter to get down to about 1/8 sec. exposure.
Sunset interrupted

We were sitting on the beach enjoying the sunset. I was shooting a time lapse and that thing you always know is possible, and always fear, happens. Moments before sunset, one of the beach walkers stops and stares at this amazing act of nature unfolding before their eyes….and completely blocks your view of it! 😂.
The key to this story is the Timelapse. I can’t move the camera, and you can’t really yell at someone to move on the beach…so you get what you get!
