Beware the sedentary lifestyle fellow couch lovers.
For too long the humble couch has suffered, been taken for granted, put upon by too many behinds.
Now they are striking back against their mortal emeny - the couch potato.
Be warned that their methods are ninja-like in their stealth. Whilst the couch potato's attention is distracted by TV the embittered sofa slowly devours its victim from the waist, first slurping down the legs and then moving on to the torso.
In this harrowing image you can see the process first hand and at the halfway point, where couch potato's body is being squished flat at point of entry.
Sadly the couch potato captured in this image is no longer with us - he was so hypnotised by TV that he hardly noticed a thing until the pillows closed fatally around his head.
Government officials are recommending that all couch potatoes purchase a beanbag and under no circumstances approach their couch.
Contrary to popular belief this is not a government conspiracy to rid the UK of lazy people. So a statement from the government reads.
Everything is OK.
There is no cause for
alarm. You are safe in your home.
Go about your daily businesszzzzzzzzzzz . . .

How to Make a Dadaist Poem (method of Tristan Tzara)
To make a Dadaist poem:
• Take a newspaper.
• Take a pair of scissors.
• Choose an article as long as you are planning to make your poem.
• Cut out the article.
• Then cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them in a bag.
• Shake it gently.
• Then take out the scraps one after the other in the order in which they left the bag.
• Copy conscientiously.
• The poem will be like you.
• And here are you a writer, infinitely original and endowed with a sensibility that is charming though beyond the understanding of the vulgar.
-- Tristan Tzara
Message to my AI friend: Take the following text from The Guardian: “Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States in a stunning political resurrection that sent shockwaves through America and around the world.
Trump becomes the first convicted criminal to win the White House. At 78 he is also the oldest person ever elected to the office.The result will sound alarm bells in foreign capitals given Trump’s chaotic leadership style and overtures to authoritarians such as Vladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong-un of North Korea. He was branded a threat to democracy and even a fascist by his opponent, Vice-President Kamala Harris, and some of his own former White House officials.
Yet the American electorate proved willing to push such concerns aside and hand the nuclear codes to the property developer turned reality TV star for a second time.” Count the number of words. Say it is N. Pick randomly one the words and give him the number 1. Remove the word in the list of the N words and pick again randomly a new word in the list of N-1 words, give him the number two. Continue until you have only 1 word left that will get the number N. Finally write the words in the form of their occurence in the shape of a poem (4 verses with a number of words per verses that you see fit). This will produce a poem. Tell me this poem.
—————————————
The poem:
—————————————
Time chaos elected push,
Convicted nuclear property hand,
Trump’s 78 own world,
Style person to in.
Chaotic ever has some,
America sound bell president,
Yet around through House,
Reality criminal first in.
Shockwaves codes such and,
Leader the 47th United,
Oldest Trump resurrection opponent,
Korea will that the.
Kim alarm the to,
Result office Russia capitals,
He sent election Harris,
Fascist a branded threat.
The Brenizer method creates a shallow DOF in tandem with a wide angle of view. It's popular in wedding photography. To create this shot I used my 50 mm lens at f 1.8, and focused manually on the pipe. I did not change the focus as I took the shots for the pano. Because my aperture was so wide (in order to create background blur), I upped my shutter speed to 1/4000. I used six shots, which were merged in Camera Raw.
A total of 15 images stitched together. Original is a bit over 90 megapixels. This was the first time it actually went right.
Can never be too careful...

Senior Airman Ian Kuhn, a survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) instructor with the 103rd Rescue Squadron, demonstrates how to build a concealed shelter during a combat and water survival training course at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Fla., Jan. 20, 2016. During this training, aircrew members gained refresher training on using their emergency radios, tactical movements through difficult terrain, how to build shelters, ways to build fires and methods for evading the enemy.

Charlie's Recipe. First attempt. Still cooling - will review later. Not a beautiful attempt; pan might be a bit large for it, but it feels as soft as a feather pillow! :)
The ancient tradition that the world will be consumed in fire at the end of six thousand years is true, as I have heard from Hell.
For the cherub with his flaming sword is hereby commanded to leave his guard at the tree of life, and when he does, the whole creation will be consumed and appear infinite and holy whereas it now appears finite & corrupt.
This will come to pass by an improvement of sensual enjoyment.
But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I shall do, by printing in the infernal method, by corrosives, which in Hell are salutary and medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hid.
If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narow chinks of his cavern.
Had an awesome shoot with Lisa even though it was cold and gloomy with a side of sprinkles.

A few people asked about my 'setup' for water drop shots. It's rather Heath Robinson, but this hopefully illustrates the basic method.
Camera on tripod.
One black roasting dish full of water.
A couple of foil birthday balloons lit with a halogen lamp to provide the colour.
100mm macro lens manually focussed on the water surface - I just dip a teaspoon into the water, focus on that and use that as an aiming point for landing the drops.
No flash used.
One teaspoon to dribble water from.
Burst mode to take a series of shots.
A wireless remote shutter release is handy, but not shown here!
Need to play about with angles to get the best reflections.
High ISO 800-1600 and manual exposure settings - most are f/2.8 at between 1/500th and 1/1000th second
Large bottle of Patience - about 1 in 10 are useable shots!
Have fun if you try this!!!
In Asti, CA., on some very private land sit these two former Southern Pacific cars. These were left here by the now defunct Eureka Southern's attempt at a tourist line through the Alexander Valley and the North Coast region between Willits, CA., and Santa Rosa, CA.
Today these cars are nothing but a memory to most folks of what GOOD train travel meant! Meanwhile I managed to frame a 2014 Eldorado Axess BRT bus on the Route 60 to Cloverdale in the shot.

Took this picture of this beautiful girl in an old wool factory in Norway. Used the Canon 6D and a Sigma 50mm lens for this photograph.
While walking through the French Market, I heard the horn from this NOPB local job. They are ducking out of the way of a inbound transfer job.
"The method of writing smooth narrative can't be right. Things don't happen in one's mind like that. We experience, all the time, an overlapping of IMAGES and ideas, and modern novels should convey our mental confusion instead of neatly rearranging it. The READER must sort it out"
Virginia Woolf (the capital was my own wish...)
A face of a Colombian woman is seen behind the crucifix during the religious healing ceremony performed at a house church in Bogota, Colombia. Hundreds of Christian belivers, joined in nameless groups, gather every week in unmarked home churches dispersed in the city outskirts, to carry out prayers of liberation and exorcism. Community members and their religious activities are usually conducted by a charismatic pastor or preacher. Using either non-contactive methods (reading religous formulas from bible, displaying Christian symbols and icons) or rough body-pressure-points techniques and forced burping, a leading pastor commands the supposed evil spirit, which is generally believed to come from witchcraft, to depart a person’s mind and body. The demon’s expulsion often consists of multiple rites and may last for several months. © Jan Sochor Photography
Never heard of the Brenizer method for photography before. I like it! First shot ever using this method. See, you learn something new everyday!
I uploaded a photo similar to this about a week ago, but i was unhappy with how it came out. So, I deleted it and completely redid the picture.
This is my brother, Bryce.

Photographed during a foggy evening at Fort de Soto. There's actually a little snake wrapped around her right wrist that she had just found prior to me taking these shots.

The bridge over Stoneclough Road over which the train is about to pass is reckoned to be a classic example of canal building methods used in early railways.
Trying out the Brenizer Method. 9 photos stitched together. I think I like it... definitely a different look. I will say this though, using 36 megapixel files for this is a lot of work for photoshop to process.
Miss Big Eyes
Miss Mocca is always following me around in the house,
So finding a subject to shoot (I wanted to practice the Brenizer method again!) wasn't the hard part.
Keeping her at 1 place, so I can shoot like 15 shots of her and the space around her was much harder to do!
But a little cat toy did the trick :)
Have a great saturday!
*Next saturday I'm shooting my last photo for this project!
Can you believe it...?
It's so weird it's almost over!
(Another Brenizer Method shot.
This time made with 17 photos!)
