The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns;
the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose
They say that hope makes the world go round. Whether we admit this as an universal truth is a different argument altogether . But my world does revolve around hope. The impossible optimist that I am, I live on hope. I hope clean drinking water would be available to all and every child would have a fair education. I hope to wake up one day to a world where there is no poverty, no fanaticism, no war, no genocide. I hope that each of my days start only to end perfectly. I hope my friends and my loved ones would be by my side at all times. I hope that one day transcontinental travel time would let me see my mum almost as soon as I start missing her. I hope to be able to cook up a fabulous meal in a jiffy. I hope to be able to possess a Louis Vuitton without having to spend a fortune on it. I hope that these cups will magically breed cakes overnight. I hope of new hopes every day.

Another day, another dollar spent.
I'm also not grumpy today, so hells to the yes on that.
I also think this might be a record, as I took only 2 shots. For setting up a manipulation, even with me being one to half-ass things, still I am impressed by that number.
Inspiration for this? A lot of shit hitting the fan and me seeing a jar in my closet. *click*
My kid is bored. I better go play happy entertaining mommy. :)

Random Fact: A henley style shirt is called so because it is a no-collar knit with buttoned placket, and they were worn by rowers in Henley, England. It was originally a rower’s shirt.
I loved the open expression which flitted across this woman's face for a brief instant: otherwise she was quite stern. She was selling betel nuts and other vegetables in the tiny village market of Thanh Thuy about 8 km from Hue.

This happy little carved head adorns a gateway on Taquile Island, in Lake Titicaca Peru. We could all do with some of his take on life, eh?

I am always trying to be the optimist in life- to find the silver lining, to be the spin doctor. It’s not always easy and I’m not always successful, but what I have learned in these later years is that every journey has its pitfalls. Every one of them. I learned that if I let that pitfall sideline me or set me back, I will never get anywhere. Every day is a new day and a new opportunity to pick back up where I left off…

Its like answering the famous question ...
Is the glass half-empty OR is the glass half-full?
In this case...
Will i climb Or will i Fall?
Optimism is about shifting the odds in our favor. Its about training oneself to make good decisions when faced with crisis situations. Its about hanging in there and working against negative forces . Its the confidence inside us , our own capability to improve our own situations!....
BELEIVE IN YOURSELF!
playing with post processing
awaiting yet another snowstorm of measurable inches ~sigh~.......... so was looking thru a kaleidoscope/teleidoscope with my camera again. found this pic that i liked but the dust and cat hairs distracted, so i was taking them out and playing with sliders and *voila* an abstract ~grin~
often wondered if i should leave the 'how i did it' out-- would that make it more mysterious??
oh, i just realized i could use this for:
scavenger3 "how did you do that?"
and
scavchal16-- i'd say an optimist ~grin~
looks hot hot hot on black ~grin~
This photograph captures an impressionistic quality through its soft focus and vibrant colours, evoking the style of the Impressionist painters who sought to convey the effects of light and atmosphere. The play of light on the subject's skin creates a gentle, warm glow that enhances the natural tones and textures. The soft shadows and highlights give the skin an almost painterly quality.
The subject’s red hair contrasts vividly with the green, leafy background, drawing the viewer's eye and adding a touch of vibrancy to the composition. The blurred foliage in the background further accentuates this contrast, creating a sense of depth and focus on the figure. The model's smile is serene and content, adding an emotional warmth to the image and instilling a sense of hope and optimism, encouraging viewers to find similar moments of peace and joy.
The tendency to be hopeful and to emphasize or think of the good part in a situation rather than the bad part, or the feeling that in the future good things are more likely to happen than bad things
"An optimist is the human personification of Spring." ~Susan J. Bissonette
M4H Project 52/Week 18: Weather.
I know I shouldn't because I'm an adult and all, but secretly, I love dandelion weather.
A photograph taken a year or so ago, when on holiday in Dartmoor. The weather was hideous we were fairly high up at this point, and the cloud started coming thickly down until it submerged the whole area. I admit that at this point I personally wished that i had not read quite as many Steven King books. The irony of having an ice cream van, ever hopeful of a British summer though amused me.
Workplace photo probably taken in the late 40's in New York City. Great faces. Thoroughly American look. None of my Italian vintage photos from the same period communicates anything similar. The vast majority of the women were Italian-American, first and second generations. "Me" is my mother.

She remembered the day he left as though it had been a mere hour ago. A bright, warm day, especially for September. The sort of day that creates a sense of optimism and fills you with joy. Too contradictive for the events that were unfolding. She had been drained of any happiness she once had, however optimism was the only thing left that she could cling on to during the dark days ahead. Optimism for those days to end. Optimism for him to return unharmed, and to be in his arms once more. She remembered the arrival of the telegram as though it had happened decades ago. The sort of memory you beg and pray to forget, but that will always be in the back of your mind, waiting to strike. The optimism was drowned in a sea of fear, the dark days stretching out like a tunnel with no visible exit. No end. No escape.
Here's the second image of my shoot from yesterday! I've always had a soft spot for modern history since high school, and when I formed an image in my head the other day of a mourning woman wishing her husband could ever come back from the war, I couldn't resist making it into reality. Just after shooting this I fell over and scratched right up my leg, it's bruised impressively now. Despite hurting myself, I still had more of my own photos to take around the water as well as needing to pose for some for my friend Gabi, so by the time we were heading home those shooting pains I was getting up my leg were terrible, I could barely walk back to the car. But hey, my first big shoot injuries happened now so maybe the next won't be so bad!
I've decided to do a print exchange so if you're interested comment below with the image you'd like and I'll get back to you with my choice from your stream! :) will post a proper thing for this later - uploading this photo from my mobile!
The tie is one I collected from a Pfizer drug rep when Viagra first came out. For some strange reason, this hopeful guy is the only one I could get to wear it for me!
This Is an illustration based on a quote about optimism, could not find the author of the quote so if anyone knows please give us a shout!
The illustration should hopefully be included in a self published book with all the proceeds going to support those in need. Those are the only details I know, more news soon..
London General route 11: Fulham Broadway, Fulham Town Hall - Liverpool Street Station.
Approaching Liverpool Street Station.
Check out the construction workers smiling towards me and the camera in realisation of what I am photographing. This added to my optimism of route 11 being given Borismasters. I was highly anticipating a nice ride, and other Borismasters that passed me on the route whilst en route Liverpool Street were surprisingly empty so that kind of confirmed to me that the buses would not be packed and horrible like route 24's first day of Borismasters. Note there is no hybrid sticker.
