February 12, 2015: 43/365 (2600/2992)- Another good day to shoot in the studio some during our lunch break. I really don't do much in black and white, not sure really why but I just rarely think of it. I do like monotone portraits though, and today I thought this treatment really working on this beautiful young lady, plus a different perspective from my usual head shots.
The mothership has returned to take us home!
Click here to see why they're all so happy to be leaving.
(with thanks to snowinglightly, for cluing me in!)
Just about to get fogged in.
This photo is unaltered except for resizing. Sometimes I'm surprised at the nice photos I sometimes get with my simple point-and-shoot.

Got to hang out with the mom today. We went out for breakfast(really fucking tasty breakfast), did some shopping, watched a few episodes of a show she really likes, and took a photo somewhere in between. Now to study scuba!
i looked for you
in the curve of a rainbow;
in the dew on the morning grass;
in the fire of the sunrise;
in the forest canopy;
in my heart
and i found you there
that's my chin..hard to tell.
you would not even believe how sick i am. lit-er-ally. and it sucks because it's so beautiful outside i wanted to take a million more pictures..i must have spring fever. ;/ anyway, i fully intend to redo this, i am not at all satisfied with the angle but it must do for now

laying in the grass on a warm spring day... talking about our day.
it doesnt get much better than that.
...or waiting for a spaceship to return? he is surely missing his companion :-(
And no wonder he is grimacing, he must have neck strain from looking up all the time. If he hadnt received this message in the 1970's he might not have been left behind....
Hopefully he may return to his home one day.
Wish him luck.
This is the first time I have posted three music tracks ~ special thanks to Beautiful Rust and Lorraine F for the inspiration

Wind Machine

This is one of Vollis Simpson's Whirligigs. It is located in the park at the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh.
"Simpson’s fame came near the end of his life. He was born in 1919 to a farming family with 12 children. As a boy, he helped his father supplement the family income by moving houses. After retiring at 65, he started tinkering around with his collection of odd parts. Using some of the same rigs he’d developed for moving houses, Simpson began constructing enormous windmills in his yard. The Whirligigs incorporate highway and road signs, HVAC fans, bicycles, ceiling fans, mirrors, stovepipes, I-beams, pipe, textile mill rollers, ball bearings, aluminum sheeting, various woods, steel rods, rings, pans, milkshake mixers and many more such materials form the support and moving parts.
In 2010, a plan was announced to create the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park in Historic Downtown Wilson, NC. Simpson died in 2013 at 94, but not before seeing the first of his creations installed in the park that bears his name."
It was windy, so I had to lean against the pole. The sky kept changing. I added a Lightroom HDR preset and added the borders in Photoshop.
