Pastel painting. A huge Thank You to Flickr's alirezanajafian for so generously allowing me to paint his incredible photo.
This is a painting of an old Iranian gentleman. Unfortunately, I do not know any more of his life's story than what is displayed on his face. I have worked and worked on this when I could but somehow I feel I have failed to capture the essence of his life. A good rendering of the wrinkles has eluded me so far as well.
I will probably do additional work on it as time allows in an effort to make the wrinkles more believable, although I do fear overworking it.
Watercolor on 1/8 sheet watercolor paper. I worked on this in my Friday painter's group and I always overwork paintings there for some reason. Decided to do some embellishing and call it good.
Watching a ton of muscle and sinew saunter up to the edge of a 25-foot cliff can be hair raising. But trying to estimate the exposure compensation when shooting into the shadow side of a dark animal on a bright snowy background is nothing short of shuttering. I always choose to try to most properly expose my darks in the subject, in that way preserving the details in the shadows. You risk “blowing out” your highlights but this the dance of the wildlife shooter. Post processing has become intricate enough to allow a certain amount of rebalancing of shadow and light. I prefer not to have to “overwork” an image. Of course, the art of photography is creating the image that pleases you the most, and as long as you are not shooting journalistic photos, the canvas is yours to manipulate.
@Heedictator We dont need you to say "please wait for me" because we'll always wait for YOU. and we dont want to hear you saying "you all can like me again when you still want to like me". Because we will ALWAYS do :) I proud of you, i really proud of you. My SUPER MAN ♥

I wonder how can Super Junior continue without Leader Leeteuk when he enlists in the Army. But for Heechul, I wonder how can he continue without Super Junior and us. Finally now I know what I should wonder is how can I continue without Kim Heechul :)

Happy Fence Friday!
(even if I’m busy with overwork...)

I spent 7 nights and 8 days in London in August with my family, Tiziano and Giulia and their families.
I’m trying to show 100 shots that I’ve made there, that represent my “London point of view”.

Captain FJ Walker gazes out from the Pier Head as people mill around on a bright sunny day.
The grey portacabin has only recently been placed there - it is a tourist information office. One might have thought it could have been placed in a less conspicuous position.

Plymothian Captain Walker often known to his men as "Johnny Walker" was based on Merseyside during World War II.
Captain Frederick John Walker, born on June 3, 1896, in Plymouth, England, was a renowned British naval officer and a leading anti-submarine warfare commander in World War II.
His maritime career began in 1909 when he joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman aboard HMS AJAX.
During the Second World War, he commanded several escort groups, contributing to the protection of Allied convoys from German U-boat attacks in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Under Walker’s leadership, his escort groups achieved significant success. His strategic methods resulted in the sinking of numerous U-boats, with a total of 20 submarines sunk during his command, and ensured the safe passage of essential convoys transporting troops, supplies, and equipment across the Atlantic.
His accomplishments were pivotal in shifting the outcome of the Battle of the Atlantic in favour of the Allies.
HMS STARLING, a Modified Black Swan-class sloop, became Walker’s flagship in 1943. Under his command, the ship joined the 2nd Support Group where it played a crucial role in the Battle of the Atlantic, engaging in fierce battles with German U-boats and contributing to the Allies’ efforts to secure the Atlantic supply lines in various decisive attacks.
Walker’s tactical brilliance and innovation were on full display during his time commanding HMS STARLING. He joined the initiative at the creation of the Support Groups, which consisted of a group of escort ships able to reinforce any escort groups in need of assistance. These groups were decisive in several engagements were otherwise we would have suffered serious losses as they could actively hunt down U-boats without having to protect a convoy.
Tragically, Walker suffered a cerebral thrombosis on 7 July 1944, and he died two days later at the Royal Naval Hospital at Seaforth, Merseyside, at the age of 48. His death was attributed to overwork and exhaustion.
As best one can given the smoky atmosphere throughout Canada and the northern United States from rampaging Canadian wildfires in the provinces of Nova Scotia, Québec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
All told, the Canadian government estimates there are now approximately 414 fires raging across Canada (239 out of control) encompassing 1,396,659 square miles, the equivalent of 5 million football fields). In Canada, the majority of wildfires are caused by lightning striking dry forests and yes, a large number are also caused by humans through carelessness. This past winter was drier than normal and a very hot, dry spring turned parts of the country into a giant tinderbox.
Overworked Canadian forest firefighters have been reinforced by 700 additional firefighters from the United States, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and for that help we are very appreciative. PM Justin Trudeau also asked the EU for assistance and as a result there are another 280 additional firefighters coming from France, Spain and Portugal as well. Huge thanks to them also.
Canadian government Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair has said the arrival of cooler weather and rain in some parts of the country will certainly help the firefighters. Canada has 362 million hectares (almost 900 million acres) of forested land across the country.
This overworked Cassin's vireo is trying to raise this "adopted" Brown-headed cowbird-quite the task. Skamania Co, WA, 15 July 2021.
Minimal processing, it looks like I overworked the clouds, but they really had this much detail and contrast in them! New Mexico is wild with these sunsets.
Sometimes I really like an instagram photo and then it takes me three weeks to actually sit down and overwork it.
This is my uni's entrance and I can't get over how pretty the whole surrounding is. :)
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is now playing at the Palace Theatre, London.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne. It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is one play presented in two Parts, which are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings.
This is just another shot of the overworked Daddy with all of his children. They are grown, and I think gone now. Mom and Pop stay all winter though so we shall see. He is the 3rd from the left with the funny little top knot as he was molting big time. He whole head goes bald. :) I think raising 3 babies was a fantastic show of good parenting!
The Samsung Galaxy A15 (the only smartphone I've ever owned) is my last resort in taking photographs. But better this than to miss a shot entirely.
To be fair the camera does a good job, and I have the option of selecting a 50 MB image size. Still only jpegs (which gives me so much less to work with than a RAW file), and the resolution is still "impressionistic" let us say.
There's a story behind these two images today. The sculpture (next image) was taken at about 1.30pm on my way to the Specialist Clinic at the Launceston General Hospital for a 2.00pm appointment. After waiting and waiting and waiting, my specialist was finally able to see me. I left the hospital at 5.30pm! But rather than complain about our poor overworked hospital staff, I was genuinely grateful when this scene caught my eye as I walked back to the parked car.
The twilight was perfect, and the old building, the tree and former gas lamp that had been converted to electric, captivated me. Click.
WOMEN - with all my respect to their dignity -
dedicated to Coco with friendship and esteem.
Take a look to her mosaic gallery !
Mosaic made with some shots of mines on the beach
The location is at the beach of Spotorno, at my region, Liguria, Italy, nearby my town.
There are many women coming here from Africa during the summer just for working with the tourists, not a splendid work, but I hope that at least they are not overworked...
I use to buy something now and then, they are so gentle, really exquisite persons.
And so elegant, better than a mannequin in a fashion show !

PS: forse avrei dovuto titolarla "Cento sfumature di viola" ;-)

Workhorses of the orbital space-stations, docking barges were often overlooked and overworked. The ships were usually owned and operated by independent companies, who would paint them in distinctive colour schemes. Four examples are illustrated here.
Happy Pride Month, Crewmates!
This chapter is dedicated to celebrating the most delicious, fruity month of the year where the rainbow flags fly high and we let the world know that we're not going anywhere!
That being said, I want to take a moment to announce that I will be taking an unexpected but necessary hiatus from The Captain and the Engineer for a little while. I have every intention on continuing the story but this will give me a chance to prepare for the upcoming chapters which are very involved.
I also want to make sure I don't overwork myself too much and therefore will be taking some time for me and my mental health.
Thank you for your understanding and patience ahead of time!

I did a little more inking on this and rephotographed it. Think it's improved... Hopefully not overworked!
Stop and smell the roses:
To take time to enjoy the finer or more enjoyable aspects of life, especially when one has become overworked or overly stressed.
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.
KEEP CALM AND STOP TO SMELL THE FLOWERS
You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.
Walter Hagen
There are many simple ways to practice mindfulness. Some examples include:
Pay attention. It's hard to slow down and notice things in a busy world. Try to take the time to experience your environment with all of your senses — touch, sound, sight, smell and taste. For example, when you eat a favorite food, take the time to smell, taste and truly enjoy it.
Live in the moment. Try to intentionally bring an open, accepting and discerning attention to everything you do. Find joy in simple pleasures.
Accept yourself. Treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend.
Focus on your breathing. When you have negative thoughts, try to sit down, take a deep breath and close your eyes. Focus on your breath as it moves in and out of your body. Sitting and breathing for even just a minute can help.

...is for dreamcatcher.
lately, i've been having really weird dreams...you know the kind that are so weird and complicated that you forget exactly what was going on within an hour of waking up? either that, or really stupid dreams about writing papers or forgetting homework... i'm obviously overworked. but excited for spring break!! x]
what have you guys been dreaming about lately??
but who wouldn't be? Copenhagen central Railway Station is perhaps the most passenger-unfriendly railways station I've seen, and that includes some hard core ones!
No central Departures screen and the local ones don't always work. The lady in the Information booth is overworked and tired. The building is very pretty though
I've worked late every single night this week, and tonight's 8.30pm finish, making a 12 hour day, on a bloody Friday night, just topped it all off. I plan to be acting out this picture for real very soon.
Still, at least it's over now. Next week should be a lot easier as there is now a code freeze.. should is the word though...
PS Yes I am still making my way through the Thursday Next books - on the 4th one now :)
Some might say I've overworked this fisheye shot of City of London skyscrapers. I'd probably have to agree with them.........
I was aiming for 'dark and foreboding' with this grainy monochrome but I think it's ended up 'noisy and murky'.

From Wikipedia : "The City of London is a city and county within London. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the agglomeration has since grown far beyond the City's borders. The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London. Administratively, it forms one of the 33 local authority districts of Greater London; however, the City of London is not a London borough, a status reserved for the other 32 districts (including London's only other city, the City of Westminster).
The City of London is widely referred to simply as the City (differentiated from the phrase "the city of London" by capitalising City) and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile, as it is 1.12 sq mi (2.90 km2) in area. Both of these terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's trading and financial services industries, which continue a notable history of being largely based in the City. The name London is now ordinarily used for a far wider area than just the City. London most often denotes the sprawling London metropolis, or the 32 London boroughs, in addition to the City of London itself. This wider usage of London is documented as far back as 1888, when the County of London was created."

My final stop on my tour of Anglesey was South Stack. By the time I left my last location I was fairly fed up with the way my day had gone and I was ready to turn around and head home. I pulled in somewhere for a drink and I wondered down a footpath, from the cliff top I could see South Stack lighthouse and I knew I had get closer and get a shot. I headed over, made some dinner and started shooting. I was very happy when I managed to capture this shot, in my opinion it made the rest of the day worth while.
This shot is an HDR of 4 shots, well I say its an HDR I did it manually rather than using any HDR software, I prefer working with layers in Photoshop as I do not have much luck with HDR images. I have spent quite a while on this shot and I am not sure if it looks overworked, I would like to know your thoughts.
Your favourites and comments are always very appreciated.
I went out this morning with hopes of some light breaking through the clouds, but of course it was not to be. So instead of being totally discouraged I manages a few frames with what was available and came away with this shot of the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley.
Photographers note... I had to fight myself to not overwork this shot as I feel I sometimes do with shots I take like this when the light is just "blah" because it is so tempting to open up the shadow, brighten this and that, and then the shot is something it wasn't.
I wasn’t terribly happy with a similar submission of this image having overworked the processing slightly to gain more detail whereas in hindsight I preferred how it looked just as I had seen it through the viewfinder which tends to wash out colours in strong sunlight. I have to remind myself occasionally that I wouldn’t have taken the shot in the first place if I wasn’t happy with the light and being overly concerned with detail is maybe an unnecessary habit of mine at times.
- This was the moment when the early morning mist cleared whilst on Exmoor and I realised I was being eyeballed by a lone sheep, well at least I hope it was a sheep!
Thank you for passing by :)

The choice was too difficult! Part of Handel's Messiah ( which is my all time fave music) or Royal Mail's Agatha Christie's stamp tribute. Apologies if I've overworked Macro Monday!
What a way to overwork your nose - all that fragrance in one place! This shot was taken in the Stanley Park community garden.
First night in Vegas and the first things I notice is this bottle of Veuve Clicquot at The Laguna Champagne Bar in The Palazzo.
Must have been a good omen as it was a great trip.
The cocktail waitress was a bit bitchy, but I think she may have been a bit overworked.
I regret not trying the 'Bottomless Bubbly' for $20 that they did from 8 to 10 PM.
Not Veuve - Domaine Ste Michelle Brut. But for $20.....

Norfolk Island has a dark history of settlement with several phases. The Islanders talk about the Polynesian phase, first Convict Settlement, Second Convict Settlement and then the relocation of the Pitcairn Islanders, ancestors of the Bounty Mutineers and their Tahitian mates. The Kingston and Arthur's Vale Area (KAVA) is a UNESCO World Heritage Area. Consisting of many fine buildings associated with the now ruined jail. Most of these buildings were made of limestone quarried from the nearby Phillip and Nepean Islands, This is one of the views from the Queen Elizabeth Lookout on the hill leading down to the KAVA area.
To the far right is the former Barracks on Quality Row. The top right the buildings around the Kingston Pier (obscured by trees). The Convict Settlement have an absolutely brutal history with mainly young men (14-17yrs) lasting about 6-12 months before dying from overwork, disease and starvation.

The church was mentioned first time in 1253. The building was extended and overworked several times.

40 x 50 oil on canvas
Seven large "plein air" works from June to July 2015 continuing the theme of the previous two residences of 2013-14 . These works are painted in oil on canvas and were largely done out of doors. This series is my response to the high contrasts of summer and a reflection upon Walden and my affection for the place. My current work is an assimilation of the "Plein air" work from 2012-14 and trying to work larger and more consistently on each painting. Whilst the imagery may appear very traditional, believe me these are places I have a great deal of affection for and therefore I feel some liberty to inject the work with sentiment. As for mark making and surface, I have kept the colours pure and the marks free and not overworked or tidied up in the studio. There are evidences of drips and dribbles, dashes and blobs all over the surface, for me this is evidence of the working process and not to be erased. As with all my work a sense of pattern and trying to resolve what's before me in strong geometry and colour.
a slightly overworked image, interpreted from the previous.

This is an abandoned Albertsons in San Francisco. Due to limited land in San Francisco, it had rooftop parking. It was built in 2002 and closed in 2006. There were three Albertsons that opened in 2002 in San Francisco. Another new Albertsons opened in San Jose.
Albertsons had a policy where managers would get bonuses on how little labor their stores used. This meant that the stores ran with as few employees as possible. It led to severely overworked employees and understaffed stores. Morale at stores was low and employees were very resentful towards Albertsons and its corporate policies. Customer service suffered.
Save Mart revived the Lucky name and changed everything. They increased staffing levels and brought back friendly service. The days of Albertsons are now over.
