These three young girls were eating by themselves in a bar. In Poland it's very common for young people to take of themselves and no problem for them to be in a bar. They split the pizza and a soda and seemed very casual. Kids in Eastern Europe are very polite and crime is almost nonexistent so there are no worries with kids out on their own. No problem even hitchhiking at night.

Expired 35 film ISO 400
I had the greatest time with Abby and Ericka today, creating art by trespassing into an abandoned horse farm. It actually started when I found 15 year old expired ISO 400 film around the house, and decided to experiment with it. We live in a digital age that has grown so much so fast. It astounds me that the same film cameras my dad used for my childhood birthday parties are now collecting dusk. I’m lucky to say that I might be the last generation that lived in time when digital photography was nonexistent, and now it is everywhere. Look around your house, you’d be surprised at the photography gear you would find.
He haaaaaates having his picture taken - as shown by the fact that his ears are pretty much nonexistent at the moment this was taken. But - this is literally the first picture I've ever gotten of Chili looking into the camera - and we've had him for five years. (And it's definitely not for lack of trying.) Erin, 1. Chili 5,672.
Given the current state of Baltimore, I thought that this Bansky art piece would be appropriate. If all was equal, if poverty was nonexistent, if violence did not persist; I am sure that people would rather throw flowers than rocks.
Mendon Ponds Park is owned and very poorly maintained by the County of Monroe, NY.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary property is rapidly deteriorating due to an egregious lack of care. Trails are not cleared of debris... signs are useless. Park maintenance is essentially nonexistent. They do have a marketing department. Seriously, the taxpayers are paying the salaries of a county parks marketing department.

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”

THE NEW GLOBAL CONSUMER: DOING BUSINESS IN A DIGITAL ECONOMY
The digital economy is no longer part of the economy. It is the economy. How can traditional brick-and-mortar firms reinvent themselves, their supply chains, and their marketplaces to avoid the fate of brands once thought of as everlasting but which are now nonexistent? And how are new platforms – from e-commerce to shared services – rewriting the rules of the game? A conversation on how businesses can manage expectations for digitally empowered customers, and how technology is being used to enhance the customer experience.

Words cannot describe how good it felt to be shooting another show at Black Sheep after so long. It doesn't have the greatest lighting and the photo pit is nonexistent, but I just feel so at home there because that community of people is just incredible. They all support each other so much and it's amazing to be a part of that and to get to photograph it every so often. And then getting to be the guest photographer for Harm House's "Record of the Night" was absolutely awesome. Honestly, when I look back, I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am to the Black Sheep venue and community for everything they've done for me. This was my training ground when I was really getting started, and these are the people who took me in and accepted me without question and without reservation. That, and they put on some kick-ass shows =)

1993 Suède Sweden Svezia
Escapade en train à Blåhammaren, dans le nord de la Suède, près de la frontier norvégienne.
Il est conseillé de savoir lire une carte et utiliser la boussole, car les sentiers ne sont pas bien marqués et on ne rencontre quasi personne ... le temps peut aussi changer brusquement : en qq minutes on passé de l'été à l'hiver avec de la neige (meme en plein mois de juillet).
Week-end close to the Norwegian border, in the north of Sweden, at Blåhammaren.
It is recommended to be able to read a map and use a compass because the paths are almost nonexistent ... the weather can also change within minutes going from Summer into Winter (with snow mid of July).
Camminata vicina al confine con la Norvegia, a Blåhammaren (2 giorni).
Saper leggere una mappa e utilizzare una bussola è d'obbligo perché i sentieri non si vedono bene. E non c'è molta gente da incontrare ! Subito il meteo può anche cambiare da estate a inverno con neve a metà luglio !

Leeville, Louisiana
on Bayou LaFourche
LaFourche Parish
Some of the greatest fishing is right here.
Leeville was settled by flood victims. On October 1, 1893, a hurricane wiped out the area's main settlement, Caminadaville, which sat on a spit of land bordered on three sides by the Gulf and on the fourth by swamp. Nearly half of Caminadaville's inhabitants perished in the storm, most by drowning, some when the buildings they had taken refuge in collapsed.
Survivors sailed up the bayou in their damaged canots and began buying land from an orange-grower named Peter Lee, who was selling plots for $12.50 each. For sixteen years, they fished, planted rice, and held fais do-do dancing parties in homes with covered verandas.
Then, in 1909, the Leeville Hurricane struck. (A contemporary newspaper account described survivors of that storm subsisting on drowned rabbit.) Six years later, a third hurricane forced residents to flee north once more. According to local legend, the storm surge carried one house from Leeville nine miles inland. The owner simply bought the plot underneath it and moved back in.
In the nineteen-thirties, Leeville rebounded briefly. Oil was discovered in the area, and by the end of the decade there were ninety-eight producing wells in town. The pay was good and regulation nonexistent. Blowouts routinely rained sulfur and brine onto the houses, into the cisterns, over the trees. Tin roofs corroded and vegetable gardens shrivelled up. When the wells ran dry, oil production moved offshore and Leeville was again deserted.
There were no more jobs, and the town itself had begun to wash away. Where once men in straw hats picked oranges and harvested rice, today there is mostly open water.

Dinner Suggestion
“Roasted Asian style salmon”
Here is one of my favorite low carb taste through the roof in taste dinners meals. If you are looking for something lighter or if you are training to lose weight this is a fantastic way to have the salmon as the star along with some healthy veg and salad. Takes 20 min to put together easy stuff and the marinade you make will be good for many recipe applications. If anyone says healthy food is boring try this!
Ingredients:
Benny’s Asian marinade
2 cup light soy sauce
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup miram
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
One tablespoon dark sesame oil
5 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Mix all ingredients together and adjust the flavors to what you like keep in a bottle in the fridge for 2 weeks
4 oz skinless salmon filets
Handful fresh green beans
Olive oil
Unsalted butter
Kosher salt
Mixed greens for salad of your choice
Method:
Start by coating your salmon filets with the marinade and let sit at room temp for 15 min you can do this in the same pan that you will roast them turning every 5 min to make sure its coating all side. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and add a little canola oil to the pan and now roast the salmon with all the marinade until you start to see the fats coming out of the fish and the marinade starting to get rich and caramelized between 15-20 min depends on the oven and cut of the fish. Make sure to baste it every few min this will keep the fish moist and develop the marinade on the salmon in layers. While the salmon is finishing add some butter to a sauté pan and add your beans and a touch of kosher salt. Sauté until the beans are a little soft, take off the heat and keep warm. Now to bring it all together add a touch of olive oil to your salad greens and about 1 teaspoon of the salmon marinade from the bottle and mix this should be a very light coating almost nonexistent but it will work. Plate the salmon drizzle any of the marinade from the pan on top, add some toasted sesame seeds and finish with the beans on the side. This is an amazingly healthy light dish that is one of my go to meals when I am working out or even losing weight for a tour as this is virtually no carbs and very little fats.
Healthy eating!

Roads in Ghana are often in bad shape- this is especially the case for the Northern Regions where road infrastructures are often inadequate or nonexistent, hindering the effective distribution of produce. Poor road networks limit the access of rural farmers to marketing centres.
Asperula purpurea (L.) Ehrend, syn.: Galium purpureum L.
Purple Woodruff, DE: Purpur Meier, Purpur Meister
Slo.: škrlatna perla, škrlatna lakota
Dat.: July 30. 2016
Lat.: 46.35803Long.: 13.70286
Code: Bot_993/2016_DSC4167
Habitat: an opening in mixed Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies wood; clear cut under (local) power lines, almost flat terrain; calcareous, skeletal, colluvial ground; full sun, warm and dry place; elevation 545 m (1.790 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: soil.
Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soča and Trenta, right bank of river Soča; near Matevž farmhouse, above regional road Bovec Vršič, East Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC
Comment: Few plants known to me are more difficult to be photographed in the field as Asperula purpurea. It is small, very tender and its flowers have not much more than 1 mm in diameter. Its leaves can be less than 1 cm long and only a fraction of mm wide. Apparently, when it grows on sunny places it is specially small and tender. So, it shakes restlessly even if there is no observable wind. At the same time only macro photography can show its details. Since it is widely branched in all directions one would need considerable depth of field for sharp pictures. This is of cause nonexistent with macro work. Also focus stacking technique cannot be used, because the plant is in motion all the time.
This South European plant growing also on Balkan Peninsula, Carpathians and Apennines originally belonged to Galium genus, but was later repositioned to Asperula genus. All Asperula species growing in Slovenia are beautiful; however this beauty requires to be admired with a hand lens.

Ok first impressions -- at F2.8 it does better than most, with a little softness mostly around the corners. (The DA* 50-135mm F2.8 was sharper at F2.8 but everything else still applies to that lens as well)
The SDM is quieter than the canon USM that I've heard -- with my ear pressed to the lens I could barely hear it!! Its not as fast as I had expected, certainly less hunting than the normal AF but in bright sunlight I'm sure its plenty fast.
By F5.6 this lens is razor sharp, as to be expected. Chromatic aberration is almost nonexistent!
Processed with lightroom defaults and no post processing whatsoever
Of course, both lenses are fully weather sealed
There are several species of Flamingo in the Americas. This large specie (to 1.3 m) is found in most of South America except for the extreme northern regions. While the action of these resting birds was nonexistent, the colors presented are always pleasing. The intensity of the color is dependent on their diet. Young birds are born a light grey.

Helena's original freckles had become almost completely nonexistent after head swaps to two different bodies, so I retouched them while I had the watercolor pencils and fine tipped brushes out. They look very pronounced in this closeup, but in actual size and normal lighting they are only faintly visible. For me, as far as freckles are concerned, the lighter the better, since they end up getting magnified and darkened tenfold in photographs. I want her looking sun-kissed, not polka-dotted or like she's got chicken pox!
Not surprisingly there are at least half a dozen waterfalls in Letchworth State Park, including Inspiration Falls, the tallest waterfall in the state of New York. Measuring at over 100 metres in height, it was nonexistent during this hot and dry period.

Sorry for being a slacker visiting photostreams. Have been lazy and trying to be inspired again. It's tough, though, with work and the hard drive crash and all. Hope you all understand.
I'll be travelling a lot for work over the next month, but hope to be a better netizen over the course of that time.
Have a great one!

The striped skunk, Mephitis mephitis, is an omnivorous mammal.
Its diet consists mostly of insects such as beetles, grasshoppers and crickets as well as earthworms, snails, crayfish, wasps and ants. It preys on vertebrates like frogs and small mammals including voles, mice, moles, rats and squirrels.It also eats bird eggs. Plant matter the skunk eats include blackberries, raspberries, black cherries, blueberries, grains, corn and nuts. Skunks eat mostly insects and mammals during the spring and summer. During the fall and winter, more plant matter is consumed. In settled areas, skunks also seek human garbage. Less often, skunks may be found acting as scavengers, eating bird and rodent carcasses left by cats or other animals.
Skunks are one of the primary predators of the honeybee, relying on their thick fur to protect them from stings. The skunk scratches at the front of the beehive and eats the guard bees that come out to investigate. Mother skunks are known to teach this to their young.
Most predatory animals of the Americas, such as wolves, foxes and badgers, seldom attack skunks – presumably out of fear of being sprayed. The exception is the great horned owl – the animal's only serious predator – which, like most birds, has a poor-to-nonexistent sense of smell.
Crepuscular animals are those that are active primarily during twilight, that is during dawn and dusk.
The young are born in May or early. Skunks tend to have litters of 4 to 8 with 2 and 10 being extremes.
After an eight week nursing , the litter then hunt with their mothers and eventually they disperse.

A Japanese rock garden (枯山水, karesansui), sometimes called a Zen garden, is an enclosed shallow sandpit containing sand, gravel, rocks, and occasionally grass and/or other natural elements. The main elements of karesansui are rocks and sand, with the sea symbolized not by water but by sand raked in patterns that suggest rippling water. Plants are much less important (and sometimes nonexistent) in many karesansui gardens. To maintain such gardens means that the plants, rocks, or other focal points are on occasion moved, turned or removed altogether. The gravel is occasionally raked smooth and re-raked to create new lines if weather or human elements disturb the lines. Rock garden creation and maintenance is considered to be an art form. Karesansui gardens are often, but not always, meant to be viewed from a single, seated position.
It's a beautiful Saturday morning, at the moment. The sun is out! It's presence has been fleeting as of late. Well actually its presence has been very much nonexistent for the past two months to be more accurate. The shot above is a pretty apt
representation of what spring has looked like for us here in the Pacific NW. Liquid sunshine.
Created this shot in the back yard yesterday after I got home from work. Used a snooted SB600 for backlighting, after I spritzed water all over the branches and blooms with a spray bottle. Then in photoshop I created a rain overlay. It was between rain showers when I ventured out to do this. Much easier on me and all that electronic stuff. Thus the need for a overlay. I wish I had picked up the dog poop back there before hand. Land mines present made for a less than pleasant experience , having to move back and forth adjusting the light.
Have a great day! I'm going out to see the sun!
Intellectual property (IP) is a widely accepted engine for prosperity in middle-income and developing countries. However, IP enforcement is lax or nonexistent in many middle-income countries, hampering incentives for innovation and broad based economic growth. An improved IP regime is not only good for the United States and its allies, but also for economic development more broadly. Join us for a discussion with a panel of experts on the critical role of IP as a missing link in the development conversation, and how the United States should combine its development, diplomacy, and trade policies to promote positive changes in the IP regimes of middle income and developing countries.

The Biggest and Brightest Full Moon of 2010

Full moon craziness
Many people think full moons cause strange behavior among animals and even humans. In fact several studies over the years have tried to tie lunar phases to births, heart attacks, deaths, suicides, violence, psychiatric hospital admissions and epileptic seizures, and more. Connections have been inclusive or nonexistent.
The moon does have some odd effects on our planet, and there are oodles of other amazing moon facts and misconceptions:
* A full moon at perigee also brings higher ocean tides. This tug of the moon on Earth also creates tides in the planet's crust, not just in the oceans.
* Beaches are more polluted during full moon, owing to the higher tides.
* In reality, there's no such thing as a full moon. The full moon occurs when the sun, Earth and the moon are all lined up, almost. If they're perfectly aligned, Earth casts a shadow on the moon and there's a total lunar eclipse. So during what we call a full moon, the moon's face is actually slightly less than 100 percent illuminated.
Presenting the Mistral – A Gas Freighter of the Belt
In the weightless void of space, industrial freighters like the Mistral are built for efficiency, not aesthetics. With its reinforced truss structure, independent thruster arrays, and massive cargo tanks, it is a workhorse of the Belt, ferrying precious volatile gases across the solar system.
At the forefront of the vessel, what might appear to be a command module is actually a massive impact shield, designed to protect the ship from micro-meteoroids and debris traveling at deadly speeds. In the unforgiving reality of spaceflight, even a stray pebble can spell disaster, and the Mistral ensures its cargo reaches its destination intact.
Unlike bulk freighters that rely solely on inertia, the Mistral boasts a full set of maneuvering thrusters, three primary engines, and precise vector control, allowing it to make delicate adjustments during docking, refueling, or evasive maneuvers in high-risk zones. Positioned atop the central structure, a large access hatch provides direct entry to the ship’s systems and cargo bays, facilitating rapid maintenance and cargo transfer.
Recreating such an open and lightweight space structure in LEGO is a challenge in itself. The Mistral’s support framework has been carefully engineered to withstand the immense weight of its tanks, preventing structural collapse under gravity—an issue nonexistent in microgravity but crucial for terrestrial display.
A testament to function-first design, the Mistral captures the industrial beauty of spaceflight: a vessel built not for comfort, but for the harsh realities of deep-space logistics.

Stivan, a small settlement on Adriatic Sea island Cres in Kvarner bay, is an almost abandoned place. Incredibly stony ground, almost nonexistent arable soil, not close enough to the sea shore to be of interest for tourists, offers little to survive. Some old fig trees and olive trees and sheep, this is all one can rely on. But it is situated in a great landscape, in an open, rather flat (as the whole south part of the island) Mediterranean landscape, harsh, wind-swept and sunny, with mild spring and autumn climate and hot summers. Yet, 200 years ago men was capable not only to survive here but also to live full lives and to build large stony farmhouses like this one on my pictures. Now it is a ruin worth nothing, defeated by time and overtaken by Wulfen's Spurge (Euphorbia wulfeni).
