Like many families right now, we're doing 'remote learning', and today one of Frost Juniors school tasks was to "Make a Star Wars movie set" out of LEGO.
This is his photo. His idea was to make a cool photo showing his two favourite figures battling above lava. We set it up on our kitchen table using only basic household items.
Along the way, we talked about concepts such as framing, and lighting. What to put in the shot, and what to leave out. Where the focus of the shot should be, and how to best achieve it. About how we could separate Kylo from the background using effective lighting, and how those lighting effects could be achieved. And just generally had fun playing together.
How was your day? Are you remote learning too? Hows it going in your house?
Central Park was looking particularly Autumnal this past weekend. Probably the last really great weekend for Fall foliage here.
This is totally inspired on this wonderful shot of Chuppy!
Even Lassie has found that book and wanted me to teach her something about photography!
“Lassie, look thru the hole in the camera!”
“What camera?...”
“Lassie! There’s a CAT!”
“OMG!!! Gimme the cat!”
You can see, she has those ears and eyes when it’s about cats!
The best way to wake up Lassie: say the magic word CAT!
Tomorrow I’ll show you her shot!
in the end even dogs can do photography! Proved!
Happy Beginning of the weekend!

About the title: photography is like flying for me, because I can take everything and feel free like flying!

This weeks blog post features images and stories about my beloved burrowing owls ... that I miss dearly. While we have burrowing owls as well in western Colorado, they're not full-time residents and are not as social as what I'm used to in Florida... from what I'm told. Check out the blog if you like and feel free to let me know what you think. :-)
This particular young one is not flying yet, but it certainly has learned that it has wings ... as it runs about with them outstretched and beginning to learn how to navigate with them. These owls have a keen curiosity about their life as they grow up. So much so, I believe that you can see it in their eyes! An endless source of entertainment they provide, I can't wait to fly back "home" to spend some time with them.
Thanks for stopping by to view.

This is why the famous University of Pittsburgh building is named the Cathedral of Learning.
Partial and edited quote from Wikipedia:
"The Cathedral of Learning is a Pittsburgh landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Standing at 535 feet (163 m), the 42-story Late Gothic Revival Cathedral is one of the tallest educational buildings in the world. The Cathedral of Learning was commissioned in 1921 and ground was broken in 1926 under general contractor Stone & Webster. The first class was held in the building in 1931 and its exterior finished in October 1934, prior to its formal dedication in June 1937."

"Learning to Fly"
This last month my wife and I just bought a home. It has been a very exciting time for us but also very challenging. I have learned so many things that I never had to do before; buy paint for a whole house, use joint compound to fix walls, change light fixtures, etc. I am very surprised at home much I have done and with very little help.
I am more aware of my need for God to be my compass in life. He has provided for all my needs and been faithful even though I haven't been in most things. Trusting God is like birds leaving the nest.
I have been pushed out into the world.. its time to learn to fly.

The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.
The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).
The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center
I like scenes like this . . . the parents or elders teaching and passing down the cultural traditions. We need more of that.

In 2018, an indigenous Zapotec woman teaches my wife, a Taiwanese woman, to use the metate to make a large tortilla using techniques that are a 1000 years old.
San Marcos Tlapazola, a rural Zapotec village known for the "Women of the red clay"
Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast how
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock, set
Mixtures, rich
Propellers, fully forward
Flaps, set, ten degrees
Engine gauges and suction, check
Mixture set to maximum percent, recheck
Flight instruments
Altimeters, check both
(Garbled word) - on
Navigation lights, on
Strobes, on
Confirm three-eight-echo ready for departure
Hello again, this is now 129.4
129.4, it's to go
You may commence your takeoff, winds over ten knots
Three-ieght-echo
Easy on the brakes, take it easy, its gonna roll this time
Just hand the power gradually, and it
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
This is an "Afterglow"- it's the light even after the sunset, but it mostly appears at the other side of sunset

I'm open for possibilities. I'm open for choices. I always welcome new ideas. I'm always eager to learn. I'm never going to close my mind from learning.

Have a great sunday!
Fijne zondag!
Morgen start weer een nieuwe fotocursus... Benieuwd wat er zal gebeuren!
Just doing a few jumping shots with Ms. Monnie & Aj ,';0]...
Don't think Ms. Monnie quite got the hang of it as she never really took off!
Aj tried to hold her hand, I thought it was sweet.
