Take a picture of this view, let this become a wonderful memory. Let me freeze this moment, let me take a deep breath, let me live it to the fullest, let me appreciate what I have, let go what I've lost and be thrilled about what's in front of me. Let me learn the deepest meaning of the expression "being in peace". Let me take a picture of this view, this moment, these feelings and remember forever this memory.
October 2016.
A few years ago, I had a film camera that I carried around with me that did not force the user to wind the film after every shot, allowing for multiple exposures. I made a point to only ever advance the film when I was just about to take a picture, and if I couldn't remember if I'd already used the current frame, I did not advance the film. These are images of things I wanted to remember, blurred into each other as a result of lapses in my memory.

De Rode Zee is een langgerekte binnenzee gelegen tussen Azië en Afrika.
De zee is nergens breder dan ongeveer 360 kilometer en loopt in het noorden uit in twee smalle baaien: de diepe Golf van Akaba en de westelijke, veel ondiepere Golf van Suez. In het zuiden mondt zij via de Bab el Mandeb uit in de Golf van Aden, een uitloper van de Indische Oceaan. De Rode Zee grenst in het noorden aan Israël en Jordanië, in het oosten aan Saoedi-Arabië en Jemen en in het westen aan Eritrea, Soedan en Egypte.
De naam is afkomstig van de rode blauwwieren die af en toe in grote hoeveelheden in deze zee voorkomt waardoor het water een rode schijn kan hebben.
De Rode Zee is ontstaan als gevolg van de platentektoniek. De Arabische plaat divergeert van de Afrikaanse zodat er een MOR (Mid-oceanische rug) aan het ontstaan is (analoog aan de huidige Atlantische MOR). Deze breuk zet zich voort in de Afrikaanse rift met onder andere de Kilimanjaro en het Victoriameer.
Enkele badplaatsen en duikgebieden aan de Rode Zee zijn Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Dahab en Sharm el-Sheikh. De Rode Zee is beroemd vanwege zijn prachtige en uitgestrekte koraalriffen, o.a. langs de kusten van Egypte en Soedan. Deze kustriffen behoren tot rijkste koraalriffen van de wereld. Omdat het water van de Rode Zee aan twee zijden door uitgestrekte woestijnen waarin weinig regen valt wordt begrensd, is het water er relatief warm en helder. De koraalriffen van het Noordelijk deel van de Rode Zee behoren tot de meeste noordelijk gelegen koraalriffen van de wereld.
De Franse onderwateronderzoeker Cousteau hield hier zijn eerste expedities. Bekend was ook zijn onderwaterdorp op het rif Shab Rumi voor de kust van Soedan. De onderwaterwereld van de Rode Zee toont een grote overeenkomst met die van de aangrenzende Indische Oceaan.
Enkele voorbeelden van het onderwaterleven zijn: steenkoralen, zachte koralen, Variola louti, carcharhinus amblyrynchos,carcharhinus longimanus, cephalopholis miniata, amphiprion bicinctus en anthias (wikipedia)
Memory Games is a popular piece of artwork featured on both the Clockwork Gallery and Gallerisation web sites.
Memory Games shows the projection of an imaginary underground system that displays computer and console games as the stations rather than the more usual geographical place names. This piece was designed to represent the world as a uniform place, where people from all around the globe have participated in playing the same games as each other. This makes us more alike than we possibly imagine, and without delving too deeply into politics begs the question; if we play together, why do we fight?
Memory Games is part of the Underground series of imagery designed by Chris Gray. This series examines aspects of human interaction and communication based on the way that mankind has developed connections. This ability is one of the corner stones of our success as a species. Underground explores various aspects of our world and how we associate with it.
Casey started as a foster dog in May 2015, but became part of our rescue roster after 2 months.
After 2 years with us, at the age of 13, she was rehomed and lived out what was to be her final Golden year in the comfort of a loving home.
After defying medical history for the years we have known her, Casey lost her battle to lymphoma earlier this week.
You are invited to view my online journal filled with photos and recollection of a Japan far removed from today, a Japan of the early 60s when the nation was reconstructing the infrastructure and learning the finer points of free-enterprise in both the private and the corporate sectors--a Japan that was totally infatuated with all things American, a Japan that was on the threshold of becoming the world's second largest economy. It was, for me, an education and a time that would shape my creative ideas for the nest five decades, a Japan that is so far away yet so near to my heart and mind.
Memory game cards that we designed for kids attending the Open day of a Japanese biotechnology research institute (The Mizuguchi group of the NIBIO institute to be precise). More about this on webloginjapan.com

OMG, Jane has got a gun!
As she cuddles in the afghan that Tatu crocheted Mini Nanea knows that even without the special edition of the newspaper that so many will save she will always remember clearly this awful first day after the bombing.
My mom crocheted the tiny afghan from single strands of embroidery floss. She also made a full sized one that sat on the back of my couch for many years. That one was worn out despite Mom mending it many times and is long gone, but I still have this little one to remember it by.

At the south end of the Virginia War Memorial's Shrine of Memory stands this 23-foot marble statue titled Memory, to reflect both sorrow and pride regarding those lost in battle during World War II and later wars; 50 tons of white marble were used to create this sculpture, which was designed by Leo Friedlander and sculpted by Joseph Campo and William Kapp. The next photo is a full-lenth view of the statue, while the preceding one is a closer view of the eternal flame. These and other photos of the memorial are in my Virginia War Memorial set. Best if viewed in light box.
I met up with Flickr friend Tim Carrier (tcpix) here last Saturday at the start of several hours of shooting together. We had hoped for a prettier day, but overcast weather seemed appropriate here.
