Traci and I went to Virginia Beach over the summer...it was my first time and I thought the waves would be so much bigger...they were almost nonexistent.
What happens when you graduate from college, only to find that jobs are practically nonexistent and your best friends aren't what they seem? Meet Julian, Mason, Perry and Nika: Four old friends who reunite after college graduation.
Sidney Woodruff, graduate student, talks about how to how different the Red Ear Slider and the Western Pond Turtle are as they record data from a Red Ear Slider with Emily Phillips (blue), a ecology graduate student, Natalia Younan (pink), a wildlife and fish coservation major, Raaghav Sexena, animal biology major, and Catelyn Bylsma (grey), evolution, ecology and biodiversity major, in the Arboretum on June 8, 2022.
The project involves assisting Dr. Brian Todd and Ph.D. Student Sidney Woodruff in a research study evaluating how native species respond to the removal of non-native species and waterway restoration. The research objectives are to investigate the abundance and population demography of the native Western pond turtle (Actineymys marmorata) and population response in growth and demography from the removal of non-native red-eared sliders. Natural populations of the Western pond turtle are found in the UC Davis Arboretum where red-eared sliders occupy the same ecological niche in high densities. Natural populations of Western pond turtles are found in the nearby South Fork of Putah Creek where the presence of non-native turtles is extremely low or nonexistent. This work can highlight the importance of waterway restoration in building a more resilient ecosystem while supporting the recovery and conservation of native species.

Shooting this year's sinulog grand parade was the most challenging of all.....crowd control was nonexistent and it was simply difficult.......even the contingents were having a hard time trying to get their way past the surging crowd.....I never felt this way the past 6 years shooting sinulog grand parade......definitely something was amiss this year.

When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.
And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.

This is only a fraction of the cycle rickshaws in this part of the neighborhood. The infrastructure here is so nonexistent that you'd think you're in a near-rural area, but Old Delhi is less than a mile away. The whole expanse along the river is populated by the very poor, who naturally have to deal with the worst that the monsoons have to offer.

This statue seems important somehow. I tried to see what she's looking at in her hand, but it's either really little or nonexistent. *update* I read that this is a statue of the elf, Nimrodel, for whom the fall and river are named.
Choice: I chose Jordi Koaltic because he has some of the most imaginative and creative pictures I’ve come across. He typically uses many inanimate objects to help enhance his photos. Through these inanimate objects, he managed to create impossible angles, nonexistent depths. All in all, he was able to create photos from scratch.
Intention: Some of Koaltic’s works have a lower angle with an object that is in the foreground and the person in the background, which is something I wanted to try. While my face isn’t in focus, it is still a major part of the picture.
Reference: “trace the great works to become familiar with their forms”
Outcome: Out of all my portraits I took this is the one that felt the most like Koaltic’s photos, which I am happy about. I has the same type of angle, focus, and color that Koaltic often uses.
Edit: I added some contrast and saturation. I also added a blue tint to the photo
We took advantage of the cooler temps and almost nonexistent humidity this evening by going for a walk. In case it's not obvious, Sydney was enjoying herself! I swear this is the happiest baby I've ever met!
I must say I felt very unsafe in the scootcar. First off, it was wobbly. Secondly, although it was supposed to go on the road, there is no side protection. Furthermore, the passenger side seat belt was busted. And, brake was almost nonexistent. So was the acceleration -- after we stopped at an uphill red light, the scootcar actually slid backwards when Daniel accelerated on full force. Oh, did I mention we achieved a top speed of 30 mph with both of us in it?

Bookmobile supporting Meredosia, Bad Catman, The Flips, and Looming at Black Sheep Cafe in Springfield, IL on January 17, 2014.
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 =)

Though I was threatened by someone for taking pictures out here, with them saying something like “I WILL F—-ING SHOOT YOU!” while driving by in their small yellow ford SUV, I think these pictures of Linn Street in Cincinnati’s West End turned out fantastic, and show how lovely the neighborhood is despite some of the activity that tends to go on in this part of the city, and the urban renewal that led to the street being as wide and anti-Social as it is today. These buildings were largely constructed in the 19th Century, with some dating to the early 20th Century, a time when Linn Street was much narrower and ended at Bank Street, with the connection to Mohawk Place and McMicken Street to the north being nonexistent for much of the area’s history. However, in the early 1960s, the road was deemed to be not wide enough for the industrial and commercial uses the city’s leaders envisioned for the area, and it was widened to four through-lanes, much like Liberty Street in Over-the-Rhine and Pendleton, wiping out all the buildings along its path, including several churches. The gap left in the urban fabric has had many attempts to fill it, with a notable failure being the playground that once stood on this portion of Linn, which was demolished around 2012 after it was taken over by drug dealers and gang members, whom still seem to be in business in some areas of the neighborhood, especially on this high-speed anonymous corridor and towards Liberty Street and the housing projects. Today, the negative impact of this roadway continues to blight the surrounding urban fabric, and I believe that the proposed changes to Liberty Street should be studied for Linn Street as well, as this corridor would benefit from slower traffic and a more humanistic, less anti-social design.

Sandy Nance, owner and founder of Black Diamond Ranch, sits on her horse Sept. 4, watching competitors in the Cowboy Races. Though funding for the Diamonds in the Rough program, which helps children and young adults with special needs, has been almost nonexistent in the past few years, Nance said she will do whatever it takes to continue the camps.

The weather here is pretty spectacular. Warm-ish weather aside, the vast majority of days are characterized by perfectly blue skies without a cloud in sight. Overcast days are rare and rainy ones are almost nonexistent. Almost.
Every now and then, we'll have a solid downpour. Being stuck in the rain always sucks, but I must admit that their is something wonderful about the sleepy, lazy feeling of a rainy day spent at home.
The most recent rain didn't even last an entire day, but we had a solid morning full of that soothing pitter-patter. There is something incredibly calming about the sound of rain that I sort of miss. The grass is always greener...

I just dropped the car on Skunk2 Pro-S coilovers. There's also a Progress RSB, and front/rear camber kits on this car.
Needless to say, the car handles like it's on rails now. I take a turn and body roll is nonexistent.

Our beginning is as inevitable as our mortality. We each live our lives at a different scale. Some shine bright with a legendary status, while others may feel they fade into the background; forgettable. Our balance is our harsh certainty of not knowing what will come tomorrow. I tried to convey a message through my piece that in life, we are all significant, we just need to find our link. Each circular piece represents a person’s life and the realities of each individual’s existence. Even though each is different, they play an essential role in the connection. If we were all the same, life would be boring; lacking the eccentricities that make us each beautiful. Every spherical piece was hand picked at the OmniSource scrap yard. Some of the pieces are rusted, while others seem to be untarnished. As human beings, we make mistakes; perfection is nonexistent. We can learn from our errors or let them torture us. Either way we are scarred. Our flaws are emotional images that show we live life. The written aspect of the piece is about James Hundley, a father of two, college graduate, counselor at Homeless Health Care Los Angeles, and recovered addict. His story is just one of many in the cycle of life.

Directionaly signs were almost nonexistent--and when they were present, their main purpose seemed to be to tell passersby that they should be careful with themselves.
Surprised to find one of these guys in my trap in the dead of a cold winter. Although they don't hibernate they become very inactive (torpor) during NE winters. I assume the near nonexistent snowpack has something to do with it. Before release I warmed this animal up, fed it and gave it all the whole milk it would drink.

Just a selfie of me enjoying another beautiful sunset display tonight after work... Rain may be nonexistent but at least nature still provides these fiery sunset displays for us to enjoy! Pic taken from by the 900 McCarthy Blvd building around Milpitas, CA. This was just a minute or so away from my work. (Thursday around sunset, December 3, 2020; 4:57 p.m.)
*“I watched the sunset last night. And given the utter brilliance of it, I likely sat in the company of thousands who found themselves awash in its blaze of colors as well. But sadly, it is just as likely that I was surrounded by thousands of others who never saw the colors because they were awash in lesser things. And I realized that far too often I am in the company of those people. Therefore, I’ll be sitting outside tonight.” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough.
Atlanta Braves baseball from 20 September 2019 (the night they clinched the division crown). The new park (opened in 2018) gets panned a little because it's usually pretty hot in Georgia and a heck of a lot of seats are in direct sun.
It's a relatively generic stadium (in the new mold of generic stadiums), but it's nice. The area outside the stadium (bars/restaurants) is actually a bit more interesting/unique than the stadium itself.
The biggest drawback is that the Atlanta Braves no longer play in Atlanta. (That and parking is almost nonexistent up there in Marietta near the stadium. We were scratching our heads looking for the actual parking lots.)
As for the game...it was a great game. First time in my life I actually got to see a division-clinching game. (They'd clinched a playoff spot a few days before.)
