Two weeks ago I went to Karlsruhe together with my mum to visit a huge art gallery, which was a great insight into other people's minds and contained lots of amazing artworks. The second we stepped into the stairway of the bed & breakfast we stayed in, I thought 'I want to take photos here'. I feel like I kind of forgot that this is what I was so used to doing some time ago, taking photos in locations most people don't even notice, showing the beauty of them, and putting my own thoughts and feeling in there somewhere along the way. So I went back later and actually took some photos, and I really hope I will find my way back to the natural habit of all of this.
(I quickly edited this photo to post it on instagram before, and finally sat down again today and overworked it.)
This is just for fun, I used to take snaps of progress on my painting... when paints on paper are drying... I hope it will be interesting for somebody...

It is very difficult to title an image like this because it can be so polarizing. I've created images like this in the past, and hearing responses to if this feels like a negative image or positive, if the hands are pulling or pushing, holding or dragging, is incredibly interesting. Depending on our past experiences, the way we see the world, where our minds are at right now, we will interpret this image differently.
That is why I was compelled to create another image using hands in this way - it is evocative because hands are controversial as a symbol. Loving, nurturing, overworked, strong, violent, caressing...they can mean so much.
I'd like to invite your interpretation today. I believe art grows stronger when thoughtful people take it in. What kind of symbol are hands to you?

I kept daydreaming couldn't close my eyes
2 am in the morning, and I can't even analyze,
my mind is shut, but I kept dreaming somehow,
lately, it been messed up it was hard to remember my name,
its was darker than all graves, and I was my own slave,
I guess I need to sleep,
I guess that's what happen when you are overworked and out of oxygen,
Achievements I am after are impossible and they so close to being unseen,
I wasn't born for this, and I know I was in fear,
couldn't wrap my head around what does this means,
the unknown is hard but it's harder to feel,
sleep is what I need and the only thing that I crave,
but more importantly a hope is what I need.

an older piece with overworked background....after a scrub under the tap it looks. a lot better....experience is a great teacher.
I captured this picture on my first evening in Budapest. After having walked 15km, it felt great to just rest, while triggering the camera remotely and capturing long exposures. That way I could give my overworked feet some rest and could enjoy sunset at this unique architectural masterpiece.

The first trains carrying Jews arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau in March 1942. Often several trains arrived daily carrying Jews from almost every country in Europe.
Each of the trains carried in excess of a thousand victims. Prisoners had been packed into cattle wagons with no room to sit, no food and two buckets: one for water and another to use as a toilet. The journey could last days on end, with the prisoners not knowing where they were passing through or where they were going. Many victims died during the journey as a result of suffocation, illness or hunger.
Initially, arrivals at Auschwitz-Birkenau would be unloaded on a ramp alongside the main railway lines at Oświęcim. The prisoners would then walk the short distance to the camp. However, in preparation for the arrival of 440,000 Hungarian Jews during the spring of 1944, railway tracks were laid right into the camp, through the now infamous gatehouse building.
On arrival at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the trains would pull up on the unloading ramp in front of the awaiting SS officers and guards, kapos and the Sonderkommando.
The Jews were thrown out of the railway wagons and made to leave their belongings behind them. They were then ordered to form lines ready for the selection process. This was when the Nazis selected which Jews would be sent straight to their deaths in the gas chambers and which Jews would remain alive temporarily.
More than 80 percent of those who arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau were immediately murdered. The majority of the remainder died as a result of overwork, mistreatment, disease or lack of food.

One of those photos that I processed to bnw but have came back to now that I have a few more colour techniques under my belt. This probably looks a bit overworked as I've been meddling with a number other peoples' actions and techniques.
I'm currently reading Vincent Versace's Welcome to Oz, I'm only on the first chapter but already i've learned so many things that help with my post-processing workflow. That said, this shot doesn't lend on much that I've learned from the book, in fact it probably goes against Versace's principles!

Meerkats are supposed to like hot temperatures and to be more active in summer than during the cold months of winter. Maybe this one is simply overworked. The zoo has new meerkats and they seem to be even more busy than usual digging tunnels and remodelling the enclosure according to their ideas.
A Prayer of Renewal
Reenergize my spirit when it creeps into the cave of gloom. Bring it forth into the light of your radiance.
Reestablish attentiveness to the wonder found in nature’s continual unfolding of the seasons, each one with its own inherent beauty.
Reinvigorate a desire to enter each day confident of your grace to maintain a positive perspective, no matter what unexpected turbulence or distress confronts me.
Renew an ability to find satisfaction in my faith without having to poke continually at truths that remain unresolved.
Resist my attempts to foster complete control, and thus I miss the adventure of risk-taking and the invitation to step out of tightly bound securities.
Reclaim love grown cold or dormant due to neglect, misperception, or the deluge of overwork that quickly steals affection from my heart.
Restore order and balance in my mind. Clear it of tangling thoughts, judgements and issues that stealthily poison my enjoyment of life.
Resurrect the undivided passion I once had for bringing the best of my inner goodness to each and every part of what claims my attention.
Reveal what keeps playfulness from emerging, forfeiting the freedom to express the laughter hiding inside of me.
Release the door of my heart to let me enter the tender moments and unforeseen experiences holding great happiness if only I am open to them.

...pretend it's a steam locomotive!
SM42-1239 (ex-1034) is awaiting departure time with its evening regio train from Poznań Główny to Wolsztyn, which should have theoretically been run with a steam engine (it even says so on the DB app :))
Many might have heard of what had been happening at the world-famous steam locomotive depot in Wolsztyn. For those who haven't here's a quick recap:
For a solid part of 2022 and most of 2023 there were ZERO steam locomotives in service at Wolsztyn, which until recently took great pride in being the last place in the world doing daily steam service. This of course was quite sad for us railway enthusiasts, but oh well, things happen.
What happened later turned out to be even worse though. Once Pt47-65 returned to its hometown after a lengthy repair in Kolín, Czechia (yes, there are no places in Poland which service steam locomotives as of now), strange things started to happen. The town still advertises itself in the same way that it used to, however in reality, it rarely provides the advertised services. The workday services between Wolsztyn and Leszno are rarely hauled by the steam locomotive, and the Poznań services have been almost completely suspended (There was a steam service on 13.01.2024, last train with a steam loco before that in early November 2023, previous one - God knows when). It is really not a pleasant sight to see a family running towards the train at departure hour and the children saying 'Hey! But that's not a steam locomotive!'.
Of course every sensible person understands that the finantial situation is not the best and you can't run services 7 days of the week with just one locomotive at the depot. However, it should also be obvious, that when you aren't capable of doing something, you shouldn't advertise yourself to be! The opinion of a lot of people is it makes no sense to run workday services to Leszno to get on the nerves of normal commuters and that it would be better to just run the train once or twice on the weekend on the route to Poznań, which is almost exclusively used by steam-thirsty tourists. By stating that clearly, you avoid the problems of overworking the locomotive to death and get rid of the bad PR, when a steam service is cancelled.

Hey everybody. I'm not dead. Just overworked and stressed with schoolwork I should {theoretically} do. I'm starting to triage homework assignments -- deciding which gets done and which won't -- like soldiers wounded on Omaha beach. Gaping abdominal wound? I can't save him. He's another letter home. Bleeding leg? I can fix that. Sulfite powder! Applied. Stick a morphine syringe in his leg, paint him with a M using his own blood and on to the next guy. And so on, while the bullets whizz and clap and thump as the cacophony makes my ears ring. Otherwise, life's great.
Yes, I know this is a shot that every single Flickr and Instagram London photographer has posted versions of at some point. I even had a go back in 2015.
But I wanted to give it another go. And even though it's something of an overdone cliché photographically it's still a worthwhile exercise as everyone's take is different on various levels.
This is always a challenging image to produce given the extreme dynamic range of this scene. Many of the other shots I've seen of this (including my previous one 7 years ago) show evidence of some degree of HDR processing to try and wring out as much dynamic detail as possible.
But often this results in an image in which you can 'feel' the processing a bit too much; i.e. they've raised the shadows a bit too much in the tunnel and reduced the highlights a bit too much in the sky and scenery beyond.
My goal this time was to try and come up with an exposure that didn't look overworked in Lightroom. I also cleanded up the considerable amount of chewing gum that was in the foreground. So ... it's still a cliché, but this is my own personal take on the scene in March 2022.
On hot, dry summer days 50 years ago back on our farm, an approaching rain storm was cause for joy...for my dad because it was a "million dollar" rain and for me as an overworked teenager it was a break from outside labor.
I did not have much time to spend on this, but then again, I realize I tend to overwork most of my sketches... It is snowing again tonight and I was ready for something GREEN!

Good health, good luck, and happiness

躺平、躺平主义是2021年开始在中国大陆流行的网络词语，指中国年轻群体中出现的“与其跟随社会期望坚持奋斗，不如选择‘躺平’，无欲无求”的处事态度。躺平的具体内涵包括“不买房、不买车、不谈恋爱、不结婚、不生娃、低水平消费”、“维持最低生存标准，拒绝成为资本家和中共赚钱的机器、被资本家和中共剥削的奴隶”[参1]。
在中国经济下滑及新冠疫情的背景下，躺平被视为中国年轻群体出于对现实环境的失望，对阶级固化、内卷化、中产阶级萎缩、在职贫穷、过劳等现象的回应。--- WikiPedia

Google translation:
Lie flat and Lie flat doctrine are online words that have become popular in mainland China since 2021. They refer to the attitude of "rather than following social expectations and persisting in struggling, it is better to choose to lie flat" and have no desires or demands" among young people in China. The specific connotations of lying flat include "not buying a house, not buying a car, not falling in love, not getting married, not having children, and low-level consumption", "maintaining the minimum standard of living, refusing to become a money-making machine for capitalists and the CCP, and being exploited by capitalists and the CCP." slaves” [cf. 1].
In the context of China's economic downturn and the COVID-19 pandemic, Lie Ping is seen as a response to phenomena such as class solidification, involution, shrinking middle class, working poverty, and overwork out of disappointment with the real environment among young Chinese groups.

okay here are scans of yesterdays work. Kodak 2238 shot at ISO 100 and half the roll developed in H&W Control for 60 minutes stand with 1:75 dilution. The other half for 1:15 for 20 minutes with constant agitation. I couldn't attend to it to agitate correctly and it did overwork everything. I love the painterly effects.... These are interesting and mostly useful, especially for scanning. What I DIDN'T upload is the 2 or 3 that were absolutely underexposed only a few yards from these. Lighting angles alone make all the difference between enough and too little exposure. There were a couple that had the nighttime effects the trailer is one of those and I thought I would see what interesting things happened when I adjusted it, although there was very little room for adjustment.

Editing: desaturation of color, and a slight change in tones. She has seven toes?!
Bindi in an empty cup (it kinda looks like it's half filled with water, but that's just a ridge in the glass).
I know this is the second time I've put her in a cup, but she is just too fast to get clear shots of unless she's restrained in some way. Even with the cup, I could barely click the button before she'd crawled out.
I have a few other pictures from this shoot that I like, but not too many because I'm careful not to overwork my most adorable model. =P
Also, I've realized that I REALLY hate picking which photo I want to use, and then deciding which edit I prefer. ARG.
(P.S. - the seven toes thing is just from her moving while the picture was being taken. Really, she has the normal amount.)
***ETA: Yay yay yay you guys! This one made it to explore, #114!!! Gosh, that was unexpected. Thanks for all the favorites/comments! You all ROCK my world! :D :D :D ***

It's the weekend and I'm back in the kitchen making food for next week. I made 4 dozen of these Crunchy Peanut butter Cookies. I always leave a tin out in the breezeway so we can grab one on the way out. I also give one or two to the mailman who is very overworked. I gave him a cookie once and he thanked me profusely saying "this is my dinner!"
A European robin, (Erithacus rubecula) singing from a nearby tree. Likely the male, he looked fairly scruffy, suggesting that he is frantically feeding some chicks on a nearby nest. He was in good song though, so not sure if he was full of the joys or complaining loudly of overwork, or perhaps just announcing that the territory belongs to him - I like to think maybe the former.
My first Chapel of Hopes and Dreams picture was uploaded to Flickr in 2008. When I stumbled upon it the chapel was still there but the picture was completely overworked. This is my new version which is simpler believe it or not, and the colors are much better. Look it up if you'd like. I have no idea at this point where I photographed the original chapel, but I'm sure it didn't look like this.
The T40s (or Trekkers) were a product of precision Swedish engineering. Manufactured in droves for the purpose of large scale geological surveying. They would be sent out in packs to scout Northern Sweden for adequate drill sites and military installations. It’s signature processor and odd central hub design was widely perceived as impractical by the military world. But the large hub made space for many compact systems, including remote 3D remodeling, geological surveillance systems from radiation recording, density sensors and ore locator interfaces, creating the perfect surveillance drone. These small Trekkers roamed the cold north in a semiautonomous mode, navigating with their own AI interface, then remotely controlled from a central command station for vital operations or at important locations. After roughly 5 years of constant service, these drones were overworked and many simply malfunctioned in the field do to being in poor care for such harsh conditions. In an attempt to utilize these drones past their seemingly expired service days, the Swedish government utilized them and their navigational functions to service city workers and the elderly. Many were stolen very easily during this time. Mostly by militias who gave these drones the attention they deserved, many of these eastern European militias were able to turn these small bots into weapons of precision. Their wide bodies serving as blank templates for armaments and repurposed transportation. The perfect companion in this day’s dangerous environment.
Lilac can be used in a variety of recipes, here are a couple of my favorite ones.
Lilac Simple Syrup
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cup lilac flowers, stems and green parts removed
5-8 blueberries, for color
Combine the water and sugar over medium heat on the stove like other simple syrups. Heat until dissolved. Add the lilac flowers and simmer for 10 minutes. Add about five blueberries if you want a brightly-hued syrup. Remove from heat, drain through a sieve, and store in a bottle refrigerated.
Lilac Blossom with cashew Scones
3 cups flour, all-purpose
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup toasted, chopped cashews
1 cup lilac flowers
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together. Cut the chilled butter into small cubes and toss into the dry mixture. Using your fingers work the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized lumps of butter are present Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, chopped cashews, and lilac blossoms. Fold them together in the bowl. Knead the dough by hand, making sure to not overwork it. Gather and roll the dough into a ball. Lightly flour the ball of dough and flatten it out, by hand, into a 1/2-inch thick disk. Cut the dough into triangles and place onto a greased baking sheet. Lightly dust with sugar. Bake 12 to 16 minutes.
The mighy A340 climbs nose high shortly after takeoff. Half of its long fuselage has vanished into the thick cloud base above, within an instant of this frame being recorded she will be gone, the low defeaning grumble of her 4 overworked motors the only thing left behind ....
But...the thought kept coming to do the little oil cans I had left in the window to remind me of my sweetheart, so even before I got out of bed, I was thinking of what to do to keep it simple , using the colored watercolor pencils and ink. I drew the window sill lines first with a pen...then sketched the cans and the old fashioned pencil sharpener with watercolor pencils...then painted and added ink lines last. I do that lots of time, and think I must reverse the process more than Liz does...maybe that is why she is teaching, and I am the student?
I am mostly pleased with the fact that I stopped this before I overworked it! Oh, and those are razor blades for the mat cutter that wasn't interesting enough to draw!
Been playing with lighting and photography. This photo and others to follow have been inspired by Gregory Crewdson and various song lyrics

Seriously overworked image but it was fun, hope it doesn't make your lose your dinner!

Experimented with drawing a local barn, then used kid's watercolor to overwork the drawing. 1 st. attempt..
Despite the limited space, the new police station is packed with all the necessary features for its daily operation. The Command Center for Operation and Response Team (CCORT) stands in the city under sand blue, black and grey major colors, getting rid of the usual bright blue palette.
Giving way to the vehicular entries, the reception is moved to the first floor led by a wide staircase which becomes a welcoming and prominent feature along the street. Above it are the detention section, interview rooms, and one record room.
Going further up will be the main office for the officers, accompanied with pantry and the female restroom. Half of the area is a double volume space to receive more daylight through the big window. There’s also a meeting room which can be used as a war room if needed.
Above them will be the laboratory and equipment room, where evidence can be analyzed and where weapons and tools are stored. There are also the male restroom and one meeting room. Speaking of the restrooms, both of them have shower in case the overworked officers need to take a break.
Finally you will reach the top floor where the director’s office and flight control room are located. One can also reach the rooftop which is an Orca pad. The parking receiver is usually closed, and extends out upon Orca landing. The charging equipment sits on the side. Seldom do we see an Orca here actually since it’s usually parked for charging and equipment check.
Now, VCPD (V City Police Department) has a solid base for daily operations, providing all the services and support to the citizens in the town!
Right before Liz's lesson was released, I had been thinking about Tommy Kane's "draw your kitchen" assignment over at Sketchbook Skool. Thus this probably has a bit of Tommy Kane's "overworking" influence.
I spent about four hours on this drawing, beginning with about ten lines roughed in in pencil. Given the complexity of this view, and how some of the significant, yet smaller, elements (such as the cardboard box and small appliances) got away from me, I'm thinking that I should have roughed those lines in as well. As it was, those items ended up a smaller than they should have been, and I think that would have been most easily corrected in the "drafting" stage, when I was not so much "in the details."
I laid out my supply of Micron Pigma pens (1, 08, 05, 03, 01, 005), and started with the 1 for the foreground elements. Then, as I worked into the distance, I generally switched to smaller tips and lighter lines -- although not universally.
i did find, for example, that when rendering the cast shadows of the cupboard doors, that I needed a larger nib. If I continued, for example, with the 01 nib, then the shadows looked too weak. I discovered that even within a given cupboard door, I had to use about three different nib sizes (from the 005 nib to barely graze in the woodgrain to a 05 for the cast shadow). It was the same, too, for the foreground elements (only using a range of the fatter nibs), although for some of the final crosshatching, I used the 005 nib regardless of location, since I found that gave me the most flexibility (meaning, that I could easily make patches that were light to dark with the same pen) in adding various cast shadows.
i did find that it was more enjoyable to draw the guidelines first. I could be fairly confident that my big chunks were in the right place, and from that point on, I was freer to noodle in the details.

No1 London Bridge was the first stop on last weekends Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk. It's a building I'd never managed to get any good shots of before and although I quite like this one I think it looks 'overworked', almost verging on HDR, having tried to deal with the excessive contrast in the original shot. Next time I'm passing if conditions are looking better I'll have to try to take the same composition.
The walk was organised by Steve Gosling and was titled 'Hidden London' and although I know London well there were a couple of new bits I saw.
For those that enjoy a photowalk, the next London Flickr Group Photowalk is planned for Saturday 18th October, more details here for anyone interested in coming along : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...

From the buildings website, "No. 1 London Bridge proudly sits along the south bank of the Thames, comprising contemporary, riverside office space adjacent to London Bridge Station. The building currently offers from 6,417–26,796 sq ft of bright and open plan workspace with river views. The 3rd and 8th floors of the east wing are delivered fully fitted with high quality furnishings, with the 2nd floor offered in Cat A condition.
No. 1 London Bridge benefits from its ideal location between Tower Bridge, More London and Borough Market / the South Bank. The building forms part of a 24 acre campus under single ownership stretching between London Bridge and Tower Bridge – providing community events and a fantastic selection of on-site such as the artisanal coffee spots and contemporary dining experiences at Hay’s Galleria."

17th March 2020:
France is now on total lockdown. Mainly due to the number of people in Paris who ignored the first clampdown and spent most of the weekend in the parks or along the riverbank in vast numbers.
We are allowed out for food, to go to the chemist, or walk the dog. But, either have to get permission via the Government website - now overworked, or take a note with us to explain why we're out. I hope it includes getting out for a bit of exercise, or the next 15 days are going to be very long.
Before the lockdown I managed to get out for some fresh air and some photos, although I went to the places where I knew other people didn't go, or not too many.
This is in my famous car park in someone's garden. Madame told me, at the end of last year, that their gardener offered to paint it for them, on what was a rather boring wall.

Sun's out, guns out!
Since the Himmelboot was conceived to project military power and support the army, it is armed with various weapons.
It carries six bombs the crew can drop by cutting the cords, plus two bow-mounted swivel guns. No heavy cannons are able to be mounted, in order to keep the extra weight to a minimum and not overwork the engine driving the boat.
On the nose a harpoon gun is also mounted as primary weapon. Deadly, but without much noise or ricochet that could destabilize the ship.
Notes: Keeping that balloon in place was truly a pain. It's way more flimsy than I'd like. A grown-up can swoosh this thing, because you now how to handle it, but a kid would destroy it in seconds. I didn't want to attach it the way Lego does in their sets, because that means leaving out the bottom part of the balloon and I hate that visually.
Chris works in the office with me and we decided to do a series of fun shots. This is one we all liked.
