I haven't been anywhere dressed for a while, mainly due to lockdown, but I have had the odd times when I've been experimenting with different foundation, powders etc.at home, for when I do eventually venture out again. I was trying out the "baking" technique under my eyes here with concealer, beauty blender and loose powder that is all the rage at the moment and followed a youtube tutorial. I'm not sure if its worth all the bother to be honest, I should probably just get some tear trough filler and botox, there is only so much makeup can do! It's my own hair here, plus a few clip in hair extensions for added volume

With a leather black dress like this.. the age-old question is: "Should I wear black or red heels with it?" 😉
To settle this question, I put up a voting poll in my Instagram Stories.
43% liked the outfit with black heels.. but more importantly: 57% preferred the red heels. Can't say I was surprised but I still love the black heels myself. It just makes my legs look soooo long!!
Check out the BLOG for photos with the black heels! 👆
Had to make a quick run to the store for some snacks so I can finish watching Dead to Me on Netflix.

It's a hard decision to post such a picture. I've look at it for so many days now and I hesitated sometime spending long moment in front of it. I hope nobody will see disrespect for doing it. Beyond this woman, beyond the crazyness investing all the picture, I see connections lost between people. I see souvenirs as a reality. I see loneliness as a companion in life.
There's no beauty with living in the street. There's harshness, there's illness in body or mind, there's violence and death. Respecting people I shoot is for me to show them as they are. Not better, not worse. It's a hard work. In a way, I'm like a stain on this picture : I would have to post it without having taking it.
Though technically this is an awful shot, it is, for me, a first key point in my work in the street.

119 Pictures in 2019 - #90. "Silky"
This piece of silky fabric is one of the oldest in my inventory - and it helped to define my three cardinal rules for fabric purchases, as it breaks all three:
1. Avoid fabric that is shiny - especially for backdrops
2. Avoid fabric that creases (makes for more work post-processing)
3. Avoid fabric with hard to clone patterns (see above)
Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and used as a drape, this fabric is lovely.

"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized." -Daniel Burnham
It is my distinct honor to welcome you all to The Windy Pixel and it's inaugural post! Consider this a photographic conversation with the city - an excuse to get out and experience a city we too often taken for granted. We take the words of that great Chicagoan Daniel Burnham to heart and we have big plans for this website - we aim to document this hulking metropolis in a new and interesting way and collect an engaged and photo-hungry audience along the way. Come here every day to see a new photograph and read our musings. Like what you see? Grab a free desktop wallpaper (below) or buy a print! Know a great piece of Chicago? Send us a mail or leave a comment and share your secrets. Most importantly, stop by every day and leave a comment - we'd love to hear from you!
That rare and long-awaited moment of capitulation being just around the corner, when the springtime sun graces us with warmer temps and the promise of the verdant season to come, and with no intention of rekindling any bad memories of this bitterly cold winter, I post the following photo. When I was an undergraduate, I used to ride the 6 along Lake Shore Drive very early in the morning. My interest in photography was on the upswing and I wanted to capture the feeling of looking over the ice at the city beyond. But alas, I was a sleepy college student and I didn't miss many meals back then. The image I had in mind bears little if any resemblance to the one below, but like all things in life, it is the result of fortuitous distraction on the road from point A to points unknown.
Early January had seen plummeting temperatures and the lake was solid ice behind the breakers. We'd left hoping for a sunrise, but instead we got these gorgeous blue and pink hues through the overcast skies and the early morning lights of the city burning to the south. Michigan's blue waters rolled in gentle swells. The slushy waves nibbled at the ice sheets, slowly cracking and breaking away little bits as deeper waters surged to replenish the shelf. I stepped out onto the seawall to capture the city twinkling over Lake Michigan's icy grasp. Sublime, perilous, frigid and colorful - Chicago in a nutshell.
On a happy evening a while ago BMT (Before Mask Time) I’m seen here bookending some beautiful friends on the right while Dee Wallace is the left side bookend.
Last night, 9/27, I learned Dee passed unexpectedly.
On 9/24/20 Dee texted me:
"I miss you! Would you like to talk? Zoom? Facetime?"
When I asked for a specific day or time to connect over the next few days, she responded:
"I'm free most of the time. Sunday night and all-day Monday is Yom Kippur. Otherwise I'm available."
Believing there was plenty of time to catch up and not sensing any urgency - I did not respond. Now I feel awful knowing we never will again meet in this life.
Well, with Dee's passing I'm reminded again of important life lessons.
Let's not take our relationships for granted and most definitely let’s make the most of every moment.
It’s not the first time I’ve learned this lesson and now wonder why it is so difficult to be mindful.
Thank you all for reading and understanding.
Please, there is no need for condolences nor sadness now.
Instead, please simply do your best to have no regrets.
Thanks!

French type of tourist camera from about 1890-1900 for 13 x 18 cm film. The camera was sold by Barend Groote & Co who with his brother Hendrik had a store with photographic supplies at Kalverstraat 43 in Amsterdam.
The camera is sporting a no name aplanatic lens - here with a clip-on yellow filter; the shutter is by Butcher & Son. It's a simple camera with hardly any movements. To make horizontal pictures one could rotate the camera's back panel 90 degrees which simultaneously rotated the bellows; the frontpanel has horizontal and vertical shift.
When travelling the camera can be folded into a nice flat package.
STNG as it should have been... Emperor Picard The Magnificent upon his throne, surrounded by his loyal subjects, Princess Troi-Leia (slave girl and fortune teller), Sergeant Buff (Klingon barbarian bodyguard and Sushi chef), Bone Crusher (witch doctor and dungeon mistress), and the fool.
Kinda makes me wish STNG had done a "Mirror Universe" episode!

Just because the rodent season is over, it is never sufficient to rest on one's laurels. A successful season past is no guarantee for the future. Every season presents an opportunity to work on skills. For example, a snow encrusted twig makes a more than suitable substitution for a prideful presentation to one's partner. While a bit less tricky to catch, other hazards clearly exist complicating the activity.

The upper courtyard was reserved for the priests of Angkor and can only be reached by these near vertical staircases. I loved the detail of this lady's spread fingers as she climbed as I do the perspective given by the lady below.
At the moment we are in the middle of decorating and all my junk (including, as some have said, all my camera gear lol) is packed away in boxes. However I have kept some stuff out in case it is needed, I am not sure why I have included a sensor cleaning swab as I am not brave enough to mess with my camera sensor at all!
The drawer is 11 x 6 x 5 inches and the image of the entire drawer is used for 124 pictures in 2024 group theme # 46 Higgledy-piggledy. The area of the shot for MM is approx 2.75 inches square.

Make a wish and place it in your heart.
Anything you want, everything you want.
Do you have it? Good.
Now believe it can come true.
You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true.
But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it.
You just might get the thing you're wishing for.
The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it.
So make your wish.
Do you have it?
Good.
Now believe in it. With all your heart.
i wont tell you what i wished for.. :)
*Explored!*
First wig try, I'm not sure yet if it's the definitive one.

Blow on the dandelion and make a wish. As the seed blows through the air, your dreams will be scattered through the universe.

Commissioned by the City of Montréal Situated at the core of the recently developed Interna-tional Civil Aviation Organization Plaza (ICAO), Dendrites is the newest monumental public work by the artist Michel de Broin. The word dendrite refers to the branched projections of a neuron, which propagate cerebral stimulation; the term is derived from the Greek Dendron, also the word for tree. Extending, across both sides of Notre-Dame Street in the downtown core, the work is comprised of two sculptural stairways directly modelled on the neuron structure.
Construct-ed of weathering steel, the piece takes on the ochre colour of the tree trunks it references, while simultaneously alluding to the industrial past of the central urban site and its iron infrastructure. Through the natural process of oxidation, the sculpture’s steel surface undergoes a microscopic crystallization of iron particles recalling the formation of dendrites. This dynamic process creates a nuanced parallel between the form of the stairway and its underlying material and can also be read as analogous to the ever-changing form of the networked city surrounding it.
Recontextualized, in this new sculptural configuration, the underlying stairways still function as circulatory structures allowing for the movement of people while also beckoning towards an in-nate human desire for vertical ascension; the urge to reach the highest branch of a tree or peak a mountain to contemplate a new horizon. Dendrites offers such an experience, allowing the public the opportunity to climb its branches and glimpse an alternative view. Dendrites direct-ly responds to this integrated urban vision – offering passers-by the opportunity for active participation. By climbing in the branches, they animate the sculpture much like the foliage of a tree.
Today was November 11th, 2011. 11.11.11. Only comes every 100 years. And why is it so special to everyone? Who knows. Maybe because 11:11 is the only time of the day where all numbers are the same. And some myth was to make a wish on 11:11, so 11:11 is defined as a wishing number.
I set up 11 candles in my room and turned all the lights off, I didn't think I'd be doing pictures but it just looked so cool that I did, and they'll be up later. By the time I was done, the clock striked 11:11. I pulled out my list on my phone. 11 wishes. One minute. It was time. It's the one minute in 100 years where every second of time is the same. Who knows, it could be useful. I blew out a wish on every candle, and when I got to my last one, I struggled. The last thing on my list. But it was my greatest wish. After all of them, for the last 3 seconds of 11:11, I rewished by greatest wish, and I knew in the end it would be that.
What I learned is though, even though I doubt any of my great 11 wishes will come true, you should still do it. I think it's important for people to have wishes and dreams because it makes up the person they are and without wishes and dreams you wouldn't have much to look forward to. So make every wish you can and dream every dream you want, because if you really love it that much you will follow it you can achieve it.
and for all the veterans out there, I wish you make it home safe. <3
. I dream i have a million wishes. I never know what to do, i just want happiness. I think I found it. <3
- I've had the idea to do this for ages. I'm quite happy with the outcome. Hope you enjoy. Thank you for all the lovely comments and faves :) <3

Firstly i have to say a huge thank you to everyone for making yesterdays shot make it into explore, a huge surprise to me! Thank you so much.
Today i woke up feeling marginally worse after failing to get any real good nights sleep, however i didn't have time to feel sorry for myself. Tomorrow i'm going to my friends wedding and after brushing off the cobwebs off my old suit noticed i had put on an extra two inches round my waist! So it looked like i had to but a new suit. I spent two hours picking one and i'm paying for it now.
I am also out tonight for another close friends birthday, no rest for the wicked. The things i do for you guys.....catch you later, i'm off to collapse!
Oh and i did a lot of photoshop on this, i looked absolutely sleep depraved!
