Members assigned to the 81st Civil Affairs Battalion spent time with their families and friends as bags were loaded, IDs swiped and hugs issued prior to the start of a scheduled 9 month deployment Dec. 15. Just 14 months in existence, the 81st CA Bn would be the first within civil affairs to deploy as a complete battalion. (Photo by Army Staff Sgt.

Well over 30 degrees this evening in Glendale, so the open air restaurants had their water misters spraying and there were plenty of kids enjoying the fountains. Heading off to Colorado tomorrow for the altitude portion of the trip.

Fully bridled draft horse ready for work? Or maybe for the show arena? I think he was off to work as he had a sad look in his eye when i was drawing him.

The summer is faaaaaaaaaar away

Candid photos from the event taken by Francesca Frasco. (fgfrasco1727.myportfolio.com/)

Went for a quad ride and mostly it was in the rain. Parts were a little bit scary just because the trail was slick, and we have good tires on the quad. Just trying to dry off and keep warm after the ride.

August 31/08 - 30/365

Luxembourg Gardens, Paris France

Note the seductive environment...

Horned Puffins taking off to sea on what is officially known as "Duck Island", just off the coast of Chisik Island in the Alaska Peninsula... (Locals call it Puffin Island, and rightfully so... I didn't see one duck the entire time I was there)

I was fortunate enough to take a boat here along with other photographers at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge. Again, the light was poor, but it was a great opportunity to photograph one of my favorite animals.

All the kids had fun at the 2007 Cast Off Party to kick off the Summer at the Friendswood Library!

Is Tag about to lift off?

Today Vince talked me into taking off of work, I'm really glad he did! I really needed a day off and today was so beautiful outside!!!! I don't think i could have lasted inside. We went to the lake front to catch the sunrise and when we got there the sky was already a little high but i really love how the images turned out!

I really love this elephant bag and matching shoes ^^

Balloons Over Anderson.

a few sliders in Lightroom 2 for this shot. Sun directly behind the basket giving off some great shadows.

Teton "dude ranch" horses with a rare day off.

these were the sweetest I've had in a long time. I usually go for tiny berries but these proved me wrong.

Bigger berries

I love when I glance over to my counter and love what I see!

I was lucky enough to win and take home the One-off SDgr Lorina Girl from the Volks 2015 Dolpa Tea Party in LA! The whole event was so much fun but this was the icing on the cake! I'm smitten. This is only a quick photo but I already love her in every single wig I've tried on her!

This Daniel Raphael, our model, from Model mayhem, showing how to make a scene...

This was the next location, across the park beside some cool graffiti..

Daniel was lit from the side, while sitting in shadows, plus a small flash to highlight the graffiti behind him.

This was part of Brent Pearson's Off camera flash photography course... what a great course... This certainly was en exploration into a new area of photography for me.. I had never tried flash work with models before... something to try again, now that I have some idea of what can be achieved.

Tak tohle je asi zatim nejvyší hrana na jaký sem kdy zkoušel slajdovat....A když si to tak vezmu, tak je to celkem pokrok od března, kdy sem na těch bruslích stál poprvý=)

Jumping off

So this is the highest ledge on which I tryed some slides do far...And when I remember how I rided there back in march this Year(my firs experience of in-line agressive). I think its quite a progress=D

I was off last Monday and played Patti Smith on my mandolin and finished/started a Moleskine.

Sediments on the banks of the Neckar river, shrinked by drying off. The polygonal plates framed by fissures are some decimeters sized.

"Fuck Off" är min tolkning till Fotosöndag och tema "Färgstark",

Porträttet på Iggy Pop från Köpenhamn 1977 som ger besökarna det långa fingret är verkligen färgstarkt och fyllt med kraft och karisma, även om bilden är i svartvitt. Med det medelålders paret blir det en bra och lite rolig bild.

"Fuck Off "is my contribution to Photosunday on theme "Colorful".

The strong portrait at Iggy Pop in Kopenhagen 1977 is filled with power and when he gives the finger to the visitors wieving the photo. It is colorful in many ways....even though the photo is black and white.

Just nu ställer fotografen Mats Bäcker ut rockfoto från perioden 1977-1986 i utställningen "RAW Power" på Värmlands Museum. Läs gärna mer om mitt besök och kolla på bilder från utställningen på min fotoblogg. jetuma.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/fuck-off-iggy-pop/
