Model: Tania d'Anconia
Photographer: Justin Bonaparte
Knowing how hard it is to get the lighting right and how difficult it is to get a child to act as a model, I decided to try to make my model work as my lighting assistant and play mate. She was amused by the sound of recharging and we both had good fun
Knowing I’ve eliminated toxic people from my life and have surrounded myself with love and minimal drama. 😎😎😎
Hard to find these now, but then it's never been easy for these and the Avantime of the same era. This one has an Irish 'ageless' plate attached, which makes no difference to knowing it's age, because of the styling. Current owner since 2008, which is a good enough run.
JI is a County Tyrone registration.
A blast from a multi-limbed past.
I quite like how the old 'imperfect' app captured the sub-limb-inal, before it worked out how to count appendages, and make things 'real'. There must be a way to combine both.
I knew when I finished my last shoot with Erin that I saved two test film shots for Amanda.
I knew when I left my house that there were still two in the camera.
Got Amanda some food while I proved a point at some sandwich shop that's eluded me til now right beside USC campus, then headed over to a little fountain on campus to be eaten alive by mosquitoes and start our shoot. She COULD NOT stop fidgeting which is tough on a Spectra, so pulled out the SX70 to try a couple shots I might use for the magazine.
And immediately forgot that I had new film in the camera.
"Oh, the film counter says I still have two shots left. Guess I left some expired stuff in here. Might as well just shoot whatever."
Thank god "whatever" worked out.
-So this may end up in the magazine, but it kinda breaks the "rules". But there are many other shots you'd simply love, so head here and get yourself a copy of issue 1.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Boston, Lincolnshire, 27th December 2019. Pentax Espio camera and Kodak Pro Image 100ASA film.
Going back to places passed in the past, not just by me but by generations of my family - my great, great grandparents ran a pub in this neighbourhood.
These are buildings and scenes that I see in my mind's eye daily in my current life, even though I haven't lived in Boston since 1992.
This scene is interesting to me because there used to be an old house on this plot - I am talking late 1970's. As I recall, it was a Victorian place and no one had lived in it for a long time. The rest of the site was a Mercedes Benz/BMW/Subaru garage.
My dad knew various business people in the neighbourhood and I used to visit them with him for his job when I wasn't at school. When I was about 6 we went to look around the house and I remember walking around this empty house. I was a big ABBA fan (because I was completely groovy even then) and I thought of the line "walking through an empty house" and how I was actually doing it. It's kind of scary to realise how popular culture had completely impregnated my childhood mind, and continues to have a "long tail" now into my fifth decade on the planet.
This site was developed over the years and has been shops for ages, and being near a bridge over a big drain it is a busy place where I passed by many, many times in my life when I lived there.
Yet what I see now and what is left of it is meaningless to just about anyone - even me. Maybe this is a way of thinking how "places" are in the heart as much as on the planet.
The Kodak film is not so good for an overcast day, but I had to keep shooting! I realised the Big Mini camera I had been using had stopped working properly when I was trying to use it to take this very photo, so I switched to the Espio. Be prepared!

Knowing there's a Hunter show coming up, and that grackle nosebands are not legal in most hunter competitions, with martingales only legal in the jumping portions, I tried Foxtrot in a standard cavesson. We're back to Mr Head In The Air Ex-Racer I'm Not Listening La-la-la again. I love that he's eager to work, but this stuff is so frustrating, when I know he goes so well in a grackle and a martingale. It feels like going back to square one. I think when he was trained for the track, a lot of shortcuts were taken to have him ready to run as a two year old. I love him, I adore him, but I hate what the people who started him compromised on to prepare him for a life of racing. I'm so lucky that Iara, Tango, and Sierra didn't have these shortcuts taken in their training. With this return to old form as soon as I put Foxtrot in hunter legal tack, I feel like he's not ready yet for the show ring. In class, I can cheat, rely on tack to encourage him to do what I want. I can't do that in the show ring. It's a frustrating setback from one point of view, because it reveals just how much of Foxtrot going well under saddle isn't because of training. Do I need to restart him from the ground up?
Hello. It's been a while, quite a while actually. As some of you know, i'm now working fulltime as a teacher. To have a fulltime work and an anxiety from hell have made it hard for me to have time and energy for my photography, i also have performance requirements, about how i'm teaching but also with my photography work. There is no good enogh for me. (Well THERE IS but i have a hard time with it).
But today i have two photos for you. I actually did overcome my fear of "i don't know what i'm doing". And enjoyed expressing myself again. This is my language.

"Wilderness areas are first of all a series of sanctuaries for the primitive arts of wilderness travel, especially canoeing and packing. I suppose some will wish to debate whether it is important to keep these primitive arts alive. I shall not debate it. Either you know it in your bones, or you are very, very old." ~ Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There
Knowing that HOV1 (OP07 ARE) had been floating around Ormskirk doing the EL1 for Rotala South Lancs, I naturally made a beeline for it one Saturday morning on my way to Burscough which paid off!
The Full Moon rising over the canyon on the evening of Sunday, October 9, 2022, as seen from Yaki Point on the South Rim. The first full moon after fall equinox is often called the Hunter's Moon.
For those planning a visit to Grand Canyon National Park this fall, here is a link to 2022 sunrise/sunset times along with moon phases and moonrise times > go.nps.gov/sunset (4276)
What's your preference? Would you rather see a spectacular full moon rising over the canyon? or do you prefer a dark night sky with thousands of stars and the Milky Way overhead?
Knowing the dates of the full and new moons can help when planning your trip.
As an International Dark Sky Park, Grand Canyon is a great place to look up and see one of the darkest night skies in the country.

Knowing I'd promised my mum a good going over her garden while visiting the other weekend, the only chance I'd get for a walk before heading home would be an early one!
With the sun just risen I headed for a route I used as a child and in those days it seemed a right excursion out of the village, in my 'grown up' state Google maps informed me I'd walk there in 16 minutes 🙈
I was speeding down the road and saw a whole bunch of cops. So not wanting to get a ticket, I slowed down and then realized that they all had their guns aimed at a van in the middle of an empty lot. There had to be twenty others with handguns out, but this cop was the only one with such an awesome assault rifle.

Desktop wallpaper of my new favorite movie "Knowing".
Suitable for Macbook + Macbook Pro resolution .
I changed the background and removed the font so that all you see is good 'old' earth...
...And wouldn't you like to know what it is that has me smiling?
Its the way you're looking at... me!
Here's another pic from my 2010 archives!
This is another slinky, clingy one sleeve gray leopard print lycra spandex minidress from greatglam.com that I've matched up with my Osé Retina black lurex fishnet hose from hosieree.com over Hanes Alive Barely There support hose from onehanesplace.com
and those great thigh high platform stocking boots from electriqueboutique.com.
Its too bad that Osé has gone out of business because I really loved their Retina pantyhose with their sparkly lurex threads and I can't find anything like them anymore! If you know of something like them out there would you please let me know?

God's word｜VII Classic Words on Knowing God Himself , the Unique
70. How many creatures are there living and reproducing in the vast expanse of the universe, following the law of life over and over, adhering to one constant rule. Those who die take with them the stories of the living, and those who are living repeat the same tragic history of those who have died. And so mankind can’t help but ask itself: Why do we live? And why do we have to die? Who is in command of this world? And who created this mankind? Was mankind really created by Mother Nature? Is mankind really in control of its own fate? … For thousands of years mankind has asked these questions, over and over again. Unfortunately, the more that mankind has become obsessed with these questions, the more of a thirst he has developed for science. Science offers brief gratification and temporary enjoyment of the flesh, but is far from sufficient to free mankind of the solitariness, loneliness, and barely-concealed terror and helplessness deep within his soul. Mankind merely uses scientific knowledge that the naked eye can see and the brain can comprehend to anesthetize his heart. Yet such scientific knowledge cannot stop mankind from exploring mysteries. Mankind does not know who is the Sovereign of all things in the universe, much less does he know the beginning and future of mankind. Mankind merely lives, perforce, amidst this law. None can escape it and none can change it, for among all things and in the heavens there is but One from everlasting to everlasting who holds sovereignty over everything. He is the One who has never been beheld by man, the One whom mankind has never known, in whose existence mankind has never believed, yet He is the One who breathed the breath into mankind’s ancestors and gave life to mankind. He is the One who supplies and nourishes mankind for its existence, and guides mankind up to the present day. Moreover, He and He alone is whom mankind depends on for its survival. He holds sovereignty over all things and rules all living beings beneath the universe. He commands the four seasons, and it is He who calls forth wind, frost, snow, and rain. He gives mankind sunshine and brings the coming of night. It was He who laid out the heavens and earth, providing man with mountains, lakes and rivers and all the living things within them. His deed is everywhere, His power is everywhere, His wisdom is everywhere, and His authority is everywhere. Each of these laws and rules is the embodiment of His deed, and every one of them reveals His wisdom and authority. Who can exempt themselves from His sovereignty? And who can discharge themselves from His designs? All things exist beneath His gaze, and moreover, all things live beneath His sovereignty. His deed and His power leave mankind with no choice but to acknowledge the fact that He really does exist and holds sovereignty over all things. No other thing apart from Him can command the universe, much less can it ceaselessly provide for this mankind.

Project [ Three.6.Five ]
First today I traveled to Morgantown to look at some apartments and hopefully have a great update and move in date settled by the end of the day. So I actually took this photo at about 1AM and really it turned out almost exactly how I wanted to thought it would only be appropriate to finish how I started.. so I'm very happy about that haha
This here is my moms Mounds Cake. it seriously tastes like a Mounds bar....so Sometimes you feel like a nut, but not today. Not knowing when I'll be back it may be pretty late so sorry i'm not here on day 365!!!!
But furthermore what we're all here for..
Today I completed my first 365 Project, and from day 1 to day 365 i never really understood why I did it, I know why I wanted to do a 365. Its been proven before that I originally wanted to get back into photography, once a passion was quickly dissolved. Film was coming to an slow decline and expenses were gathering. So I foolishly backed out, not for me, it was fun while it lasted, the money won the contests attended, was it even for me anymore. Well on a search to find a reason to get a DSLR. I set out and purchased a Fujifilm s600fd, the perfect camera cause you can't change lenses therefore I didn't have a reason to spend money. Well, it was the perfect thing used it for 269 days and then for graduation my parents got me "Sasha" a Canon XS and boy did I see a difference in my photos. They were crisper, cleaner, and just awesome. But lets go back to the beginning shall we?
January 1st 2008 some good friends of mine [DiggPirate] and [toasty oats] started a journey, what journey a 365. They are currently in Egypt for spring break but I know they know how much of an inspiration they were to me...
So encouraged and enlightened I decided to start my own project on my 21st birthday March 12th, 2008. A year in photos was a goal I wasn't sure I was going to meet, didn't really expect to make it a month or two, but with the on going inspiration given to me by my 2 friends i kept going and going and going. Not really sure whether or not I was going to pick up on any followers, I wasn't really worried about it, I made a choice to do something that I felt I wanted to finish.
So really, I feel as if this project has been so much more than just a photo a day for a year, I'm sure all of you can account for this, when i say that I can remember what happened on almost every day just by looking at the photo. Its memories, and a lot of moments I love to have documented.

Now where do I go from here? Year 2????
YES, I will be back...
Year Two will be another big step, a year that will be a new beginning I plan on taking a 365 Pic Day 1 on the first day of being moved into my new apartment, as many of you may know I recently accepted a job in Morgantown WV, 4 hours away from home and what better way to remember a year away and my first year of a new job and a new beginning than a 365. So themanilow will be back in action once again, i know jump for joy! The 365 has become a huge part of my day and the connections I have made the friends I have created, I couldn't leave. Really its a habit, and I'm young. So why the hell not.
But now is the part you all probably don't want to read the thank you section, there has been so many people that have been there with me for me and involved. most importantly i want to thank my family, with out their weird questions, and helpful attitude they certainly made this year fun, and it was a way for my momma to see me everyday while being away. So another reason I can't leave hahaha love ya momma.
But here is a shout out to some people... (you can stop reading now and just do a search for your name to see if i like you or not)
Exactly 1 month in on Day 30 a few people commented on my photo, one of which is this AMAZING gal [pam.ela] she commented and i started to follow her stream, it took about a solid month to two months before we realized that we started on the same day. Both started on our birthdays and both were going to finish at the same time. This was exciting, someone else sharing the same day as you i was stoked, well we've been friends since that Day 30 and she is just one cool person and If i had to share my birthday with anyone, she is one I'm happy to share it with...So Pam, Congratulations to you! thank you and hope you continue to lurk in flickr world
Another person commented on Day 30 that was influential [Fishst1k] he was one cool guy and we became pretty close friends talking, sharing ideas, and just being solid friends. Then he had a great thing happen to him and Cole Benjamin was born, and in the best interest of his son and his family he completed a very successful 225. And has been blessing us all with wonderful pictures of his lil guy.
I wish i had the time to thank everyone with such indepth but if you don't mind I do want to point out some more epic people that I've encountered and have been there for me throughout this project with words of encouragement and always there to talk to when needed
One great couple that comes almost immediately to mind is [Donald Kilgore] and [so*fierce] I've been blessed in so many ways to have met them and to have them as friends, One cold day in December we ran into each other in California, PA and had one heck of a time being ourselves
[Nerboo] - You've always been there to talk, a listening ear and a rambling mouth and have been a hell of a friend
[badbwoy4lyf] - Harvy, i could never figure out how you did it but your photos really kept me going.. true inspiration for sure man.
[KayTeeJoy] - You probably won't see this but you were also a cool gal, probably one of the few I'd let call me your "Mr Muffin Man"
[mnoller] - though you've came and gone, you were there and had a heck of a run. became an uber close friend and were one joy to have as a contact.
[Lauren.Takes.Pictures] - I really wish you were still around, I miss you and hope you do see this because you were such an inspiration. Thanks
[crustydolphin] - The gal everyone wanted to be friends with actually taking time out of her day to comment and become an amazing friend while in the process - random e-mails and great contactyness made her awesome, and a reason to look forward to Thursdays (hahahah)
[j o o b o o s] - Words can't say what you've done for me during this project, you are just simply awesome.
[m1nna] - One of the few that would actually talk to me the next day after leaving a drunk comment singing "you are my sunshine"
I really could comment on all of you guys but I do at least want to shout out to a few more.

Seriously it doesn't mean that you didn't mean crap to me if I didn't mention you, there obviously has been so many people that were influential to me. So really THANK You All.
constructive criticism, and encouragement was greatly appreciated.
So really, this isn't goodbye, this is I'll see ya later haha
I'll still be here, but it will probably be crazy. So until I step in front of the camera again, be good. Don't miss me too much.
peace killers.
