Este año he estado bastante distraído de generar mi meta de hacer una serie fotográfica más personal, y aunque todo mi trabajo es personal, entre tanta cosas, siento que cada palabra es una excusa.
En tanto me he concentrado en otras actividades y de hecho me siento muy muy feliz de haber logrado objetivos que no tenía planeado.
Fui contratado para crear la imagen de portada de una banda musical así como crear retratos a cada miembro, las puertas empiezan a abrirse poco a poco, y de hecho, me hace sentir tan feliz ver el trabajo de varios años empezando a dar frutos.
Con esta foto pretendo crear ese personaje que se siente de una u otra forma perdido y sin rumbo, no sabe donde ir y no recuerda bien de donde viene, y me pongo a pensar en el concepto y creo haber estado en ese estado mental por un tiempo, y como dicen por allí, nunca es tarde para darse cuenta, siempre y cuando se tome la decisión en algún momento.
He regresado a hacer videos (pero bastante lento, aún no domino nada bien esta área), y decidí grabar un poco de la tarde/noche cuando tomé esta imagen e incluyo además mi proceso de edición.

Meeting me
This year I've been pretty distracted to continue on my goal to make a more personal photographic series, and even when all my work is personal, among so many things, I feel that every word is an excuse.
As I've concentrated on other activities I actually feel very happy to have achieved goals that I haven't planned
I was hired to create the cover image of a band and create portraits of each member, the doors begin to open slowly, and in fact, makes me feel so happy to see the work of several years beginning to bear fruit.
With this photo I intend to create that character that feels either lost and aimless, do not know where to go and can not remember where he came from, Inspired in a Brooke Shaden's image, I start to think about the concept and I have been in that mental state by a time, and as they say over there, it's never too late to realize, as long as the decision is made at some point.
I have returned to make videos (but quite slow, not yet mastered this area), and decided to record some afternoon / evening videos when I took this picture and also I included my editing process on photoshop.
You can visit my very tiny Youtube channel and watch a couple of things I've posted and share it if you feel you liked it :)

Akatsuka Orchid Gardens in Volcano, Hawaii, showcases over 1,000 orchids and tropical plants, including many cattleya orchid hybrids. Mr. Akatsuka's 7-tier criteria for introducing orchids includes flower form, bloom & plant size, ease of growth, color of blooms, fragrance, substance of flower tissue & season of blooming. This richly colored cattleya made the grade.
Hope you have a lovely day! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

Somehow its bad for my health to read aok's stories 'cause I'm always ending up creating new Altmer characters... And thinking about possible events... ^^
The Mount Royal Hospital underwent a number of changes of mission since it was founded as an Immigrants Aid Society home in 1853. By the time this chapel was dedicated in 1955 (if you enlarge the shot by two clicks you should be able to read these tarnished plaques), the primary mission of the hospital was Acute Geriatric Care. As I said yesterday, this was a place where people came to die.
Somehow that makes this Chapel or Meeting House all the more significant. As a Quaker myself, I am intrigued by the designation, "a Meeting House for Meditation and Worship". Meeting House has been used by Quakers since the 17th century as a place for silent worship and meditation. Traditional Quakers, following George Fox (1624-1691), do not believe in clergy or consecrated buildings or churches. I realise this is different in parts of the USA.
But there's even more intrigue to be found here on these dedication plaques. Ambrose Pratt was a controversial writer in the early part of the 20th century. A journalist who began writing for "The Australian Worker", he became increasingly more conservative as he grew older. This was especially so after the major split in the Labor Party in 1916 (over the issue of conscription). Pratt became a member of "The Group" in 1931, and he wrote the resignation speech of Joseph Lyons from the Labor Party. Lyons from Tasmania went on to become the only Tasmanian Australian Prime Minister (1932-1939) who died in office. His wife Enid Lyons was the first woman elected to the Australian Parliament and the first female member of Federal Cabinet.
After his retirement, Ambrose Pratt became heavily involved in the Melbourne Zoo at Royal Park (and in fact was responsible for setting up the Healesville Research Station which is now the Australian native fauna section of the zoo). And it would seem he was also on the board of the Mount Royal Hospital. Now here's the final piece of the puzzle: I have no evidence that Pratt was a Quaker, but later in life he took a very close interest in Buddhism and particularly the philosophies of India and Tibet. So I imagine the term "Meeting House", was to express this ecumenical interest.

Sir Edward Hallstrom (1886-1970) did the honours of opening the chapel. Like Pratt he was a major participant in the zoos of Sydney and Melbourne, and his links to Mount Royal would seem to be his strong philanthropic interest in medical services. Hallstrom is one of those rare figures with two portraits in the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.
Looking a bit like they are about to re-enact the Last Spike Ceremony, Mower Shays #s 4 & 5 sit nose to nose on the old Chesapeake & Ohio Greenbrier line near the tiny hamlet of Wanless, WV. The occasion was a 2017 photo shoot on the Cass Scenic Railroad, which featured portions of the line from Cass to Durbin, WV, while that route was in the process of being rebuilt. In this image, Shay #5 is hauling a string of empty log flats and is acting as our photo freight, facing south. In the foreground, Shay #4 was hauling a short string of the tourist cars that the park normally uses on the Whittaker and Bald Knob runs. The latter train was carrying the photographers and railroad staff.
Although the C&O Greenbrier Division does loosely follow the Greenbrier River over the 15 miles between Cass and Durbin, the river is often far enough away from the tracks so it is not visible for much of the run. Although not as scenic as the riverside portions of the line, it was areas like this one that survived the 1985 flood, which wiped out much of the riverside trackage.

I really enjoyed meeting Alex in Athens last Thursday.... so much so that I forgot to take any proper pictures of her!! Only two of her holding up her camera at me. So here's one of those to mark the occasion.
On the other hand, I love the one she took of me www.flickr.com/photos/79073990@N00/4532518134/ .... thanks, Alex x
