The best you can is good enough.
Its grainy, and perhaps not the most stylised i took but i liked how this picture made me question what was happening, what is wrong with her, happy? sad?
What is going on?
I dedicate the radiohead song to this one.
You can try the best you can

195/365 14th July Optimistic ! Expecting outside customers with torrential rain and storm force winds.
Even in sickness she's looking at the world as a new and exciting thing. Watching her learn and experience is exciting. It's captivating to see what life holds for her. She's the very definition of optimistic for me.

Home by the Lake - 1852
Frederic Church (1826 - 1900)
Frederic Edwin Church’s painting offers an optimistic view of America’s future. The industrious pioneer couple has carved out a modest homestead in the wilderness, where nature provides for their material needs.
By the 1850s, debates over the spread of slavery into the American West threatened the Union. Church’s pioneers represent small-scale farmers in his native New England, visibly separate from the South’s slavery based plantations.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

From Fotheringhay the road was a lonely one, three miles or so to my next port of call, which when I got there turned out to be a rather suburban village but with a solid little entirely Early English church at its heart. Entirely a Huntingdonshire church in style, with a stubby spire and big dormer-style lucarnes.
I left my bike in the Early English porch, which is vaulted in blocks of stone, handsome yet familiar. But then I stepped into what turned out to be the most interesting interior of the day. The most striking feature, and rather a surprising one, is that the roof of the nave is vaulted in wood. This was done in the 13th Century, and the bosses survive from that time - even more surprising, they all depict green men, nine of them. Why was this not done elsewhere?
The rood screen is one of the best in the area, and the medieval pulpit appears to be constructed of rood screen panels (can that be right? Did they come from the rood loft? Surely it is pre-Reformation, in which case perhaps they came from somewhere else). Lots to think about. A good church, it would be considered so in any county.
As I was about to leave the church three young women came in. They were walking the Nene Way, and were attired as you might expect attractive young women to be on such a sunny day. I didn't want them to be made nervous by the presence of a middle-aged man with a camera, so I nodded a greeting as I left, but in the event they engaged me in conversation, asking me where I'd come from, telling me what they were doing, where they were going, and so on.
In the end I had to make my apologies and leave as they didn't seem to want to let me go, not an experience I have very often these days, I can tell you. It rather put me in mind of the Sirens episode in the Odyssey.
And so I headed on, wary now of any wandering rocks and one-eyed giants.

I am Jaz. I love my family, friends, and I enjoy spending time having fun. I am a very happy optimistic person and try to put my best effort into everything I do. Art is something I have a passion for, I love everything from crafts to digital photography. I am constantly incorporating art into my life every day whether it be by color or through décor in my room. I also am a very outdoorsy kind of person. I am a fan of leather, browns, feathers and Native American types of patterns as well. I would rather be outside than on the couch and I would rather open a window than crank the air-conditioning. I like to play around a lot as well and just act like a complete kid. I absolutely love everything about my life and try to see the good in every situation.
Personally, I think art is a happy place for me, so I choose to use a lot of bright colors in my work. That also reflects my happy personality. I also try to have bright light in my photos because I feel that is when I take the best photos. In my opinion pictures look the best when they are taken in natural light so a lot of my photos are taken outdoors, this is also in part because I like spending time outside. When I can’t be outside I try to make my lighting reflect the look of natural light. Another common factor through-out my photos is high contrast, this is another element of my work that is reflected by my personality, not only do I think photos look most crisp with high contrast but I also think the contrast reflects that I am a very fun loving person but I am very serious about always doing my best. My photography is a reflection of my life, personality, and mood.
When planning my digital photography final project, I did not have to think very long or very hard, I immediately knew what I would be doing before I even started the course. The first thing that came to mind was my family, I wanted to include them no matter what. Then I began to think how I could incorporate my family into a project, without much effort on their part. I thought about what I love about my family and I realized it was the happiness I feel when I am with them. This is when I knew that candid photos would best represent my emotions. My family is consistently laughing, I wanted to take photos to portray to the viewer the sense of happiness and laughter we enjoy every day. I took over two hundred and eighty pictures in order to get the eight most perfect examples. It may seem contradictory at first but I chose to use black and white photos for two reasons. The first being that, I think of memories as being black and white, and secondly because my plan to mount them in a very colorful quilt. Although I used black and white, I also tried to up the contrast in order to give the photos a bright happy feel, and I blurred the backgrounds in order to make the viewer focus solely on the happy subject. I tried to tie all of my works’ main elements into my project, and I think I did pretty well with that. This is by far my favorite project of the class.

Do trees have a character? The birch's branches and twigs all hang down sadly, while this willow in my garden looks more jubilant... / Zouden bomen 'n karakter hebben? De takken en twijgen van de berk hangen allemaal droevig omlaag, terwijl deze wilg in m'n tuin lijkt te juichen...
