Driving through Troon this afternoon gave me a chance to catch a few shots with this (and the following) for my "In Front and Behind" shots. This is looking out from the rocks at Troon towards Prestwick and Ayr with the Heads of Ayr on the horizon.
Yes, take a shot looking in front and then take a shot from the same spot but looking behind you!!

Ringing in the New Year
I've taken a year off from taking photos since I was a little busy with other things :) Namely, my little bundle of joy above. JDQ. He provides a lot of inspiration and reflection on how things have changed in our lives- for the better. I"m looking forward to posting in this 52 project. And seeing other's photos. Have a great day!

This isn't a very heavily-edited or fancy photo, but it's very personal. A few months ago I got very, very sick. I stopped being able to process food, and I lost about 30lbs very quickly. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis, which basically means that my stomach was paralyzed and not able to empty like it should. It was painful and scary. I am doing much better now, but I still don't know what exactly caused the illness, how to prevent it, and if/when it will happen again. I still get very sick from time to time, and I find looking backwards and looking forwards to be overwhelming. This is the reason I'm taking a year off of school, and I have a long ways to go before I really feel healthy again. It's been a struggle, and I almost got below the 100lbs mark. This was taken after a recent flare up. I was shocked at how pronounced my vertebrae and ribs are (despite gaining some weight back from when I was at my worst).

I photographed my first wedding yesterday since Chris took his own life a couple of weeks ago. The groom's name was Chris. It was strange, but I was okay. I really was. I really am.
Sometimes I have moments when I wonder if I am not mourning properly. Maybe I should be more upset? Cry a little bit more than I do? Because I really haven't cried very much. I grieved Chris and our marriage some time before this tragedy. I don't know if I have any more sorrow in me. Quite the opposite, actually. I feel completely ready to move on. I am looking forward to meeting new people and doing things that perhaps I wasn't able to do as a married woman taking care of someone with so many problems. I am ready to live my life for ME for a change. I have a lot of guilt issues over this, but I'm told those will subside. I hope so, because I'm ready to start living.
Been contemplating it for a while, and decided to give this 365 thing another whorl. As of today I have officially survived a full thirty years of life and am beginning a thirty first. Seemed like an appropriate day to begin.
The past can't see you, but the future is listening.

Last year flew by so fast. I honestly can't remember what I did last year for NYE but last night's was great. Inviting 2013 in my life with sweet kisses and hugs from my love under fireworks is all what a girl needed.
I think that 2013 has a real treat for me - the good, the bad, the up's, those turns as well as them downhill drops - but I look forward to it all!
Happy New Year everyone! (:
Note: Photo above was taken sometime in December. Last night was just not a night for any capturing!

Weird thing - I'm not feeling the post-Christmas mood swing that so often happens. I find myself really upbeat and looking forward to next year.
Now I've got all that bullshit about turning 30 out of my head and done with I feel a lot more free . . . if you know what I mean? It's like it's been hanging over me the last couple of years, sad I know but it's true, but since I crossed the threshold between decades it's like I don't have to worry about it anymore. And that's cool.
I may be growing older, but it doesn't mean I have to grow up right?
And there's other things too - so much is going to happen next year. We're going to have another baby, both mine and Lydia's jobs will be changing as our department is restructuring . . . that sounds bad but I could just as easily come out of it with a better job. It's a bit complicated, but I'm looking on the bright side.
I've found a new hobby I really enjoy (photography, dur) and I can only improve the longer I'm at it.
And I've got an iPod. I didn't want one for years, now I've got one I can't imagine ever being apart from it. Even iTunes is growing on me. I spent a couple of hours yesterday copying and pasting album covers onto my iPod so I could use Coverflow and it was worth every damn second. And I found some games, including a music quiz that bases it's questions on the music you have on your iPod! I can't tell you how cool that is.
So this shot is meant to be me looking all optimistic towards the future . . . in reality it's me clutching at straws for an idea and staring out the window, ha ha! Still, the setting sun had a kinda nice effect on the wall behind me, and with a bit of tweaking in Lightroom and a couple of textures it looks alright.
Couldn't think of a way to get my iPod in shot though. Humph.
Armed with a new computer, new lens, new tripod, new remote. Damn hell if anything breaks this time!
and on a side note, does anyone know if 27 is too young to start botox????

We wild horses are born to rage. We are not allowed to stop, to be slowed down, nor to be tamed.

*Looking Forward contains on-going stories of the search of transformations, and thoughts that keep moving forward. They are as light as a butterfly.
... to this year's summer vacation. We just made our reservation for the same little summer residence as last year.
Hope you have a nice weekend and something to look forward to, as well!
a Hiking Day, 40 years ago.
From left to right: my father, myself, my mother, my grandmother.
Seemingly I was enjoying a popsicle they bought me.
It could be the Great Wall (Beijing, China), good season for hiking. Someone (could be my auntie or local paid photographer ) took the picture from lower angle.
Grand-mom used to live at Indonesia, she was visiting China for us, then the next year we left Beijing moving to Hong Kong.
They were, on peak of the place & time, looking forward to a far distant, from four decades ago.

Hard to believe that a little wasp could appear wisftul, but there it is.
Hey, I should write a kid's book -- "The Wistful Wasp."
I'm on it! Anybody able to illustrate?

Although the first sentence of Kant’s Prolegomena to All Future Metaphysics warns that it is intended not for pupils but for future teachers, the young Buber dared to read it and found in it a philosophical freedom that produced a profoundly quieting effect on him. Through it, he came to the view that space and time are not real properties that adhere to things in themselves but mere forms of our sensory perception, the formal conditions by which we grasp the world of phenomena.
