ARoS Aarhus Art Museum

From the outside this museum is just a big cube, in the inside you'll find the spiral stairway over 9 floors.

(and the well known roof installation 'Your rainbow panorama' by Ólafur Elíasson - picture will follow soon ;-)

 

Eventually a good place again to shoot with the Samyang 12mm again.

Ostern ist bald vorbei. Schnell ist auch die Frühlingsblütenzeit vorbei. Bald ist (hoffentlich) auch die Pandemie vorbei.

 

Easter will be over soon. The spring bloom season is also quickly over. Even soon the pandemic will be over (hopefully).

I've done it! I've got through the 52 week project.

 

I know that this is very late is posting but I promise it was taken on time. The reason for the delay is that I have been ill with either swine flu or tonsilitis or a bad throat infection (the Dr couldn't decide which). So I was ill for about a week.

 

During that time my picture time came up and this is the best I could come up with I'm afraid!

 

I'm pleased that I did this - I've learnt a bit about photography and a bit about myself.

 

4 of my 52 have made it into explore, 1 of those made it into a book. I've passed my driving test, discovered a new hobby in making jewellery, celebrated 5 years of marriage, got a tattoo and I've had a lot of laughs. Not many weeks have gone past where there hasn't been something that has made me smile.

 

Oh and I've turned 30, which I am assured is the new rock and roll!!

 

The next project will be a 52 week thing again but of Joey not me (although I may pop up in places!) - the first of which I'll be posting soon.

 

Thank you all for all of the support you've shown me over the last 52 weeks with your kind comments and words of encouragment.

 

It's been a good year :-)

Confetti falls from the sky for we have made it to the end.

 

This might have not been the picture I wanted but I tried my best so no regrets.

 

365/365!

 

I don't know what to say first. There is so many people I want to thank for their support in this project. I've learned so much from all of you.

 

I will continue to take pictures of Danbo (of course!), and I'll now have this project to look back on in the future as I improve my photography.

 

So.. that's it. I wanted to keep this brief.

 

I'm extremely tired right now.. :(

The St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans was one of the most interesting cemeteries I've been in. It's set up much like a town for the dead with the crypts being the houses. Concrete "streets" ran up and down the aisles between the burial sites.

Lyrics speak to the heart,

but the music speaks to the soul.

 

Souls commune.

 

Therefore a part of the artist lives forever in the hearts and souls,

of the ones that were nourished by his/her work..

“Now, that it’s all said and done,

I can’t believe you were the one

To build me up and tear me down,

Like an old abandoned house.

What you said when you left

Just left me cold and out of breath.

I fell too far, was in way too deep.

Guess I let you get the best of me.”

Day 366!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I made it! I have never stuck to anything like this before, so this is some achievement for me.

 

Anybody going again? Not me, I need a break from it for a while, because I really struggled to put much effort in especially in December, but who knows.......maybe 2014? Or maybe I'll just restrict it to 366's and do one every 4 years!!!!!!

 

This is a shot of the last dawn of the year taken in Bray, Co. Wicklow. Even though it was a very disappointing sunrise, I still do really like this shot!

(142011 Manchester to Sheffield) 31/1/20

I always like to keep politics out of my photos as people are entitled to their opinions and beliefs. But I couldn’t resist posting this with the inauguration just two days away as this experiment is finally coming to an end. I’m not even American, and the new President is not that inspiring, but anything is better than what the US and the world lived through these past four years.

 

That sign has been there for the last four years and it looks like they are not about to take it down.

Well, folks, here it is, day 365. There were times when I thought this day would never come... but now that it has, I'm not sure what to do with myself!

 

I want to thank those of you who have stuck with my ramblings all year, as well as those who dropped by only occasionally. If it weren't for your kind words, I may have given up, and went far away to live out the rest of my sorry life in shame.

 

I'm going off now, without a plan--and without a camera! When (if) I come down, I might post some updates for all of you...

 

But until then, I'll just go wherever the wind takes me!

 

Yours fuzzily,

Snugglepup

Wow. This is gonna be a long one...really...

 

Where to start?

 

A year ago, I was posting random stuff on Flickr after Liina took an interest in Photography. As I perused through pages and pages of pictures in Explore, I began noticing lots of self-portraits tagged with "365". In particular, the shots of Rosie Hardy and ::Reflecting Truth:: caught my eye, and I began wondering if this was something I could do. So I decided that on my birthday, August 19th, I would begin my own project and see where it took me. For 2 weeks I took what one could argue to be some of the lamest 365 photos ever, lol...and then one day, a beam of light called FGR shone down from the heavens, and I was saved.

 

Having a theme every day changed everything. It gave me something to work for, and it brought out my creativity in a big way. But a funny thing happened when I got to FGR: I started getting comments from people I didn't know at all! I realized very quickly what a sense of community this group had, and for that I was truly grateful (no, not yet Clem, not yet). My 365 took on a whole new meaning.

 

Some time around November I did 2 weeks of a similar theme, and I realized that it really made things easy on my 365. So I started this tiny little group called Theme of The Week (TOTW) in order to see if anyone else might be helped by doing the same thing...960 members and over 8,600 photos in the pool later, I realized I'd created something similar, albeit very different, to FGR, and it has become it's own entity. I am constantly amazed at the artistry displayed in that group, and I am eternally grateful to all the members there for pouring their hearts into their photos.

 

This year has had a lot of ups and downs, including a difficult move to a smaller place, the death of my Grandmother, speaking to my father for the first time since 18 months ago, and many more moments that made this project what it was. It's truly changed me, and that's what this shot is about. However, the biggest "up" of them all was yesterday...so many of my friends, contacts, acquaintances and even complete strangers did tributes (over 70!!!) to my shots because Liina surprised me by starting a group for them and choosing it for FGR. The shots were amazing, but more importantly, the sentiments expressed there made me tear up more than once. It's amazing how much love there is in a website full of virtual strangers....

 

And now, speaking of love, I have to give some:

 

Liina - I can't say enough about my love for you. Thank you for all the incredible support, friendship and love over the year it took me to do this project. I could never have done it without you, and yesterday's picture is a testament to how much I love you.

 

Maite - You were my first. Comment, that is. And you've been there since that day I posted my first shot in FGR. I've laughed with you and at you, and I've cried when you cried. You're one of the most amazing people I've never met. Thank you for everything...

Brooke - I have never laughed so hard in my life, I think, until I met you. Your videos, your photos, your off-the-wall sense of humor just cracks me up to no end...but it's your real-ness that makes me come around again and again. XoXoXo

 

Pete - Okay, now it's your turn ;) Dude, the Austin meetup was by far the highlight of my 365. If you hadn't made that trip, my journey would not be complete, and now, because of you, I have a polaroid of 2 of the most awesome muthafuckas ever to walk the planet: You and I. Thank you for creating the group that helped shape what I've done for the last year.

 

Steven - Ever since I saw your first entry into TOTW I've been blown away by your incredible creativity. But your dedication to your friends has blown me away even more. Thanks for always being the sarcastic, lovable goofball that you are, but for also being such a fantastic man-crush :)

 

Victor - We may truly be brothers from another mother. Everything you said in your shot yesterday about our similarities made me want to hang out with you even more than I already do. I appreciate you every day my man...

Everyone who has touched my stream at any time has touched me as well, and obviously, this is long enough. Most of you, especially those who did shots yesterday dedicated to me, know how I feel about you already. My heart is warm and fuzzy because of you, and I can only say THANK YOU so many times before it gets old.

 

But for real...THANK YOU!

 

All my love,

 

Abe

What a year it's was!

 

I'm not even sure how to begin explaining what an experience this project has been.

 

I love you mom & dad! Thank you for your support through this project. For all those moments where you wondered if you should call to check up on my state of mind - but didn't. Thank you for understanding and allowing my creativity. Without you - well - I wouldn't be here! (ha ha)

 

I have an amazing group of supportive and loving friends - I'm not even going to name names because you know who you are! You are all very near and dear to me. Your support during this project means more to me than I could ever express. Thank you. A million times. Thank you. This photo is for you.

 

This project has been a learning experience.

 

I've learned that I love creating characters - naming. becoming. being. - whether it's before or after the photo is taken, creating stories for my photos has been a wonderful creative outlet.

 

The hardest lesson was on day 201. That photo made me realize what others have been telling me for a long time. I *am* pretty. (ok, I can all hear you say "I told you so" you can stop, you were right) Now, that's not to say that I don't have my days. We all do. But now, when I have "a day", I can look back to that day to help me get out of the rut. It's a great feeling!

 

I feel like There's more I need to say. But the words aren't there. There are no words.

 

I know people will ask so I will tell you that I will not be following this project up with another 365 days project. I may not even do 52 weeks. But I know I won't be able to give it up completely. I will still show up here and there in my stream. And if you are experiencing serious withdrawl - look back on this past year and know what a great time I had!

  

I'll leave you with this song.

-----------------------------

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

 

It's something unpredictable,

but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

 

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth it was worth all the while

 

It's something unpredictable,

but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

 

It's something unpredictable,

but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

 

It's something unpredictable,

but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

-----------------------------

  

I did.

A dead tree above Danebridge, Staffordshire

Le Beverley was a adult movie theater in Paris, France. It was one of the last pornographic cinemas when it closed its doors on February 23, 2019 after almost 50 years in business. Photo taken about 2 months after closing. A nostalgic moviegoer wrote C’est fini (it’s over) on the facade. The "CINEMA" sign on top has become almost unreadable.

Do you remember the words?

 

I do.

 

Do you remember the smell in the air

the night that you said goodbye?

 

...or the taste in the back of the throat...

so metalic, and senseless,

I never saw you as that relentless...

 

but now I do.

 

How did it make you feel,

to leave with me sprawled out on the floor?

And was it really that necessary

to slam the door...

when you made your point so well...

with the words that sent darting pain

into my heart,

and every emotion that caused me to love you.

 

And though every whisper

that resonates from my lips,

is suppressed by the sound of your footsteps...

I can't help but repeat them

again and again and again...

 

"You would have been loved forever...

my dearest,

and most hated

friend..."

 

i'm back.

 

hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   

i'm sad about being back, but......... it happens every september. it's kind of strange to be back.

 

i miss san josé.. and all my friends there.

i miss everything about san josé in august.

 

it has been an amazing august, as always.

strange, but great.

   

i have quite a bunch of pictures to upload here.. plus the ones from paris i didn't upload.. so.. it'll take a while.. haha.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqLvbpcsPj4

 

(this song is like dancing in los genoveses beach at sunset, when no-one's watching..)

 

Scratches on the table...

breaking up my pen strokes...

I take another drag of my smoke...

another drink from the bottle, that I once broke...

 

All the words are stirring in my head...

but there's trouble translating them to hand...

Like the time I tried to write you a message in the sand...

and waves kept washing it away...

like they knew what I was really trying to say...

 

I put everything out on the cluttered surface...

making a mess of the mess,

and I guess

you could say I'm giving you all my kryptonite...

with all those talks, that went late into the night...

we know who's gonna win this fight...

 

I bared my chest...

prepared for plunging swords...

and lashes from whips...

And still I remember the last words,

repeating from your lips...

as I tried to pull you back by running fingertips...

down your hips...

across your lips...

 

I don't believe that sincerity,

is measured by the number of words that are written...

or the number of pages turned since I've been here sittin'...

Maybe instead...

it's measured by the pressure,

that I'm putting on the pen...

 

And now...

 

...pain drips promises on my words...

 

...ink blooms appear where I've signed my name...

 

and now I know,

that this will never be the same...

*Deep Breath* ...and it's over. 365 photos. Not one day Missed.

 

I thought about not saying anything, just posting a photo and 'The End', but you know what? I spent an entire year of my life on this project, so now I'm going to write about it... You can skip if you like. ;-)

 

Since way back on Day 1, I knew how I wanted the last shot to look like- I wanted to be simple, just like I started, and sit in the exact same chair in the exact same spot..... I didn't know that a year later I would actually be a few states away from that spot and chair. But, I did keep it simple.

 

Did I enjoy doing the project? Yeah, I really did. To be honest, I never fully got used to it though. There were so many days that it was purely a hassle. But I don't regret it at all- it's been fun.. :] When I first started, it was mostly just snapshots of my day. In the past year, though, by being forced to make myself shoot, I inevitably got a little bit better. Self-portraits aren't something I would have otherwise starting doing (I prefer a subject that's not me) so I'm really glad I've gotten the practice.

 

Will I start again? Maybe... If so, definitely not right away. Like I said before, it was a hassle a lot of days, so if I do it again I'm sure it'll be when I have time, I'm more equipped and maybe even have someone else to do it with me.

 

Will I do a 52 weeks thing? I told some people I'd most likely start 52 weeks after finishing, but I don't think I will now. I actually think part of what I liked about 365 was the constant challenge it was (yeah, sometimes I even liked that part :P) I think with once a week it might loose the sense of urgency. Knowing me, I'd probably forget a lot and come up with worse shots. ;-)

 

Not one single of my self-portraits has been shot with the help of a remote. Frankly, I don't think I'll ever start again if I don't have a remote. It would have a helped on a ton of days, especially on days like 282, 255, 322 or 115...

 

I do use a tripod some days, but I only started using it sometime in the 60s and it's *technically* been broken and held together by tape since the early 100s. Quite a bit of shots have just been hand-held like on days 296, 168, 207, and 357

  

Facts:

 

-For over a year now, Day 17 has been my most interesting photo of all time.

-Thanks to waves of people image searching 'Thank you' Day 103 has turned out to be my most viewed photo.

-Taking two positions, Day 255 is my most commented and most fave'd photo.

-114 have been in Explore (that a surprise for the amount of not good, never-would-have-otherwise-been-shown-in-public kind of SPs I have)

-I visited 14 states (TX, OK, AR, MO, AZ, CO, TN, IL, IN, OH, KY, GA, NC, SC) in the last year. (BTW, I know people think I travel a lot, but actually, 9 of the 14 states I had never been to before!)

-The hardest shot to get was probably Day 256

-If you read all this I'm totally impressed

 

So there you go! Thanks for bearing with me. The End.

365 days yr 3 1096/1096(-0) 365/365 31december2010

January 7, 2021: Trump is Guilty. Rise and Resist at Trump Hotel.

Tribute to the final episode from Friday night, inspired by the wave of toasts John Hodgeman was retweeting.

 

Anyways, pretty ending. Everyone involved needs to take a bow.

Ich finde das Bild nicht eigentlich schön, aber irgendwie drückt es aus, wie ich mich fühle. Es ist alles sehr dramatisch, aber ich nehme jeden Sonnenstrahl und jedes Blümchen, das noch blüht, dankbar an.

Well, it took almost a year and a half to do what is supposed to be done in a year. Man this was harder than I thought. I have loved the support from all of my flickr friends...but seriously....I am tired of my face!

For Mar. 27-Apr. 2, 2022.

"So Long Suckers"

2016 has been roundly condemned as a very bad year. Celebrity deaths, Syria, Brexit and Trump. Here's hoping 2017 turns out a little better for everyone. And for me, the 4th 365 project has truly been a struggle, and I can't lie, I'm quite glad it's over. Happy New Year everyone!

Only the color and the contrast were adjusted with PS.

The woman is perfected

Her dead

 

Body wears the smile of accomplishment,

The illusion of a Greek necessity

 

Flows in the scrolls of her toga,

Her bare

 

Feet seem to be saying:

We have come so far, it is over.

 

Each dead child coiled, a white serpent,

One at each little

 

Pitcher of milk, now empty

She has folded

 

Them back into her body as petals

Of a rose close when the garden

 

Stiffens and odors bleed

From the sweet, deep throats of the night flower.

 

The moon has nothing to be sad about,

Staring from her hood of bone.

 

She is used to this sort of thing.

Her blacks crackle and drag.

 

Sylvia Plath
