It was my first day at Everest Base Camp and I was scouting the area for something to do. The day was almost over and I wondered down the little river a while before I found this spot. It was all very serene and there was not a person in sight. I didn't even notice the grazing Yack until is made a noise. You would think I would be able to spot a wild animal standing a few feet in front of me, but apparently I have lost my spidey sense. I setup my rig and waited for the light to get interesting while the Yack tried to make casual conversation with me. We talked about best places to graze and lady Yacks and all that jazz before I had to head back to camp. It was a nice quiet moment in the middle of no where.
Johann Elias Grimmel (1703-1759). "Jonah ejected by the whale" (1739).
The restoration of this painting was taken by the Lions Club Memmingen. Stemming from a Memming merchant family, had the born on October 28, 1703 Johann Elias Grimmel himself trained as a painter with Johann Friedrich Sichelbein and after his death with Jerome Hau in Kempten. During his twelve-year period of study at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Vienna (1726-38), in 1734 the Second Price falls to him in the held annually painting competition. After a brief interlude in Memmingen, he was appointed in 1741 as a teacher of drawing and painting at the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, where he died on January 12, 1759 on "apoplexy". The workshop tradition of Sichelbein connecting with the pathos of Viennese Baroque, Grimmel in his panel paintings for St. Martin achieves considerable painterly quality.
Johann Elias Grimmel (1703 - 1759). "Jonas vom Walfisch ausgeworfen" (1739).
Die Restauration dieses Gemäldes wurde vom Lions Club Memmingen übernommen. Aus einer Memminger Handelsfamilie stammend, lässt sich der am 28. Oktober 1703 geborene Johann Elias Grimmel bei Johann Friedrich Sichelbein und nach dessen Tod bei Hieronymus Hau in Kempten zum Maler ausbilden. Während seiner zwölfjährigen Studienzeit an der Kaiserlichen Kunstakademie in Wien (1726-38) fällt ihm 1734 der II. Preis im alljährlich stattfindenden Malwettbewerb zu. Nach einem kurzen Intermezzo in Memmingen wird er 1741 als Lehrer für Zeichnen und Malen an die Akademie der Wissenschaften in St. Petersburg berufen, wo er am 12. Januar 1759 am "Schlagfluss" stirbt. Die Werkstatttradition Sichelbeins mit dem Pathos des Wiener Barock verbindend, gelangt Grimmel in seinen Tafelbildern für St. Martin zu beachtlicher malerischer Qualität.

The Kreuzherrenkloster (monastery of the Knights of the Cross with the red stars) Memmingen is a former monastery of the Order of the Holy Ghost in Memmingen in Bavaria in the diocese of Augsburg.
History
The beginnings of the Holy Spirit consecrated monastery date back to the 13th century. Counterfeit refer to the year 1010, which was before the founding of the city of Memmingen in 1160. It was probably in 1210 by the Staufian Empire bailiff in Upper Swabia, count Heinrich von Neuffen-Weißenhorn and his wife Hedwig, donated. This ones established at the eastern edge of the central city in front of the gate Kalchtor a hospital, equipped it with landed property and handed it over to the Hospitaller Order of Canons Regular of the Holy Spirit in Rome, whose main activity focus was the care of the sick and the homeless and the admission of pregnant women and foundlings. After a devastating fire in 1223, the monastery and the hospital had to be rebuilt, in this context, it is also for the first time mentioned in the municipal document.
Since 1353, the City Council took part in the management of the hospital, in 1365 the hospital complex was divided into a lower and an upper Hospital. To the now directly managed by the Imperial City Lower Hospital belonged the Poor room on the ground floor and several adjoining rooms, to the remaining with the monastery Upper Hospital belonged furthermore the Church of St. Peter and Paul and the upper floors of the monastery and convent building. In the room for needy persons concentrated the imperial city charitable organisations. Together with the Antonite monastery the Crusaders shaped the intellectual and cultural life of the imperial city.
In a fire in 1477, again large parts of the complex were destroyed. The hospital church was rebuilt in 1480-1484 as a Gothic hall church and the whole complex obtained the form of a towards to the south lain Hallhof open three-winged complex. 1484 was southwards adjacent to the church building a tower built. In the years 1709-1711 the church was remodelled in Baroque style and fitted out with Wessobrunner stuck by Matthias Stiller and his son Michael Stiller (plasterer). The ceiling paintings stem from Johann Friedrich Sichelbein.
Shortly after the mediatization of the Free Imperial City and the transfer to the Electorate of Bavaria in 1802, the monastery was secularized. All expendable and movable properties of the monastery in 1803 were auctioned, the last Canons 1804 left the house. Still until the year 1806, the church was used as a parish church, after which it served as a timber warehouse. The room for the needy until 1816 served for the accommodation of prebendaries, in the monastery premises Bavarian officials were housed. Although the church and the steeple first in favor of a new toll and customs building should be demolished, but they would do without it from 1819 on since other areas were vacated and the demand for a new building was not given. Therefore, from 1820 the room for the needy served as storage space. The church was rebuilt into a goods hall, in the northern and southern side wall each a large gate entrance was broken, orchestra and pulpit were demolished. The stucco in the lower area was knocked off and vault and basements were demolished in order to obtain a ground-level access. In the nave itself a false floor was inserted and a wooden crane mounted. To the north, the entire complex was provided with a classicist facade.
Due to the foundation of the German Reich, the building as depository and Customs Office was increasingly without function, which is why the City Council in 1920 requested to expose in the former vestry works of Memminger painters. After a water pipe breakage was discussed in 1932 to relocate the municipal art collection to the unused nave, for cost reasons but this solution was discarded, and only from 1947 on the upper part of the nave was used as an exhibition and concert hall. The ground floor was combined with the room for the needy persons and from 1960 as a hospital arch as an open walkway used. In the convent building various municipal facilities were housed: the sing and music school, the Stadtjugendring (city youth council) and psycho-social support center.
The as a whole neglected complex from 1998 to 2003 was according to original plans elaborately rehabilitated and restored. In the process, inter alia, the intermediate floor in the nave was removed and restored the room for needy people of the hospital. Today the church hall serves again as an exhibition and event space, the Poor facility as a café.
Buildings
Steeple
The compex consisted of a hospital with attachments for economical use, as well as an east adjacent church and a convent building. The complex burned down several times, as part of the reconstruction work it was repeatedly extended and modified.
Poor facility
The oldest still surviving part is the Poor facility. Its two-aisled, four-yoked and vaulted by a ribbed vault hall dates from the early 15th century. By hospital master Elias Bruggberger extensive construction were induced from 1675 to 1680, at the same time, he Poor facility was expanded to additional floors in which two large halls were housed. The room on the second floor was provided in 1691 with a wooden coffered ceiling, which is largely still intact.
Monastery church
→ Main article: St. Peter and Paul (Memmingen)
1477 the abbey church of St. Peter and Paul in a fire was destroyed and rebuilt in the following years as equally two-aisled and four-yoked late Gothic hall church. As is common in many hospitals, it forms an extension of the Poor facility. After hospital master Sigismund Teufel it was from 1709 remodelled in Baroque style and the ceiling vaults probably by Matthias Stiller with Wessobrunner stucco coated. In each field of bays there are ceiling paintings, probably stemming from Memminger painter Johann Friedrich Sichelbein. Supported is the around 14 meter high vault of three stucco marble columns.

The inspiration for this sweeping landscape photograph of the Santa Cruz coast was 100,000 monarch butterflies. This past weekend, I made my poor wife and baby wake up way too early so we could head down to the Natural Bridges sanctuary to catch a glimpse of the Monarch Butterflies before they made their migration down to Mexico for the Spring. I insisted that it was critical to get there before anyone else got there, stating that "It only takes one person to ruin the shot".
We got there, parked, threw on our mittens and rushed down to the sanctuary waving my camera around like a fool, expecting 100,000 beautiful butterflies to descend and start dancing along with us. What we got was a cold, empty grove with nothing but a fat blue bird mockingly squawking at us . Apparently, the butterflies were frozen and don't like waking up before noon. It also seems we missed the peak season by about three months, so my bad. I looked down at my daughter in the stroller who was giving me a disapproving stare, trying to keep warm in her little sheep hat. Sorry, baby, daddy will bring you back next year when the butterflies are plentiful and the weather is warmer.
On the way out of the sanctuary we stopped at a vista point to get this photograph of the coast line. This is the start of the journey the butterflies take on the migration down south. It may not be 100,000 monarch butterflies, but I dedicate this one to my little girl and her rosy cheeks. =)

Quello che vedo non è mio. Mentre quello che sento in ciò che vedo è mio: la sensazione, il sentimento, l'emozione, l'armonia, il pathos, la ragione, il racconto, l'attimo. Dunque, ciò che fotografo non è mio, mentre è mio ciò che sento in quello che fotografo. È questo "sentire" che voglio comunicare agli altri, condividere, e sarebbe assurdo rinchiuderlo in qualche stupida rivendicazione di proprietà, materiale, commerciale o intellettuale che sia. Con le mie foto non sto vendendo, lucrando, guadagnando; sto parlando, per essere ascoltato e non per essere comprato. E il mio parlare non ha copyright. Buona visione. E buon ascolto
Questi sono alcuni degli scatti realizzati al mercato nei pressi del Castello medievale di Bran, comune della storia regione della Transilvania, dimora dimora, secondo la leggenda, del sanguinario conte Dracula, personaggio ispirato alla figura del principe Vlad III che nel XV secolo fece parlare di sè per la ferocia e la crudeltà del suo animo .
La fortezza tuttavia, non è il vero maniero appartenuto all'imperatore Vlad ma era utilizzato dal sovrano come residenza di caccia. Curioso è l'aver appreso che i rumeni sono venuti a conoscenza di Dracula e di tutta la leggenda ad esso annessa ai primi anni '90, dopo che l'ex dittatore comunista Ceacescu è stato destituito dei suoi poteri.
Sapere questo ha suscitato curiosità prima e riflessione poi: mi trovavo li, in mezzo alla popolazione locale portatrice di tradizioni in parte costruite e piegate al consumismo frenetico, recitando la mia parte da turista occidentale, inconsciamente privo del reale contatto con quel mondo di genti diverse . Ero in Transilvania per vedere il castello di un vampiro? Ero in Transilvania per poi raccontare di esserci stato?
Come il pezzo di una carovana di passanti ciechi e sordi che si autocompiace perchè viaggia e conosce, che prende tutto per oro colato, che non si pone un perchè, un percome. Ecco come mi son sentito. Volutamente cieco.
La Romania non è una leggenda. Non è un vampiro.
Sono persone.
Che non conoscevo e non conosco.

The tourist tunnel that runs under the Huangpu River connecting old and new Shanghai is one of those experiences that leave you wondering what the hell just happened. It is something to the effect of tourism-shell-shock via flashing lights, dancing puppets and hypnotic-disembodied voices. We were totally unprepared when we paid for a one way ticked and climbed into the little shuttle-pod (luckily the baby was fast asleep in the stroller). As soon as the thing started moving, the crazy light display assaulted us and a strangely proper-sounding English voice seeped into our ears talking some crazy nonsense like, ” … liquid hot space magma ..”, and ” … paradise and HELL!” (at which point the lights would flash an angry red color). I was trying to setup my camera while avoiding going into a seizure when the ride was suddenly over. I know it probably lasted longer than a couple minutes but I must have been put under hypnotic trance or something.
The shuttle-pod came to a stop at the other end of the tunnel and my wife and I just looked at each other with a wide-eyed stare before bursting out in laughter. I didn’t manage to get any good photos out of it, but luckily we found that the exit gate was too narrow for the stroller so we just made a u-turn and got back on for a return ride. This time I was ready and I used all my Jedi skills to focus on the task at hand to get this cool picture. If you are ever in Shanghai, and you are looking for something utterly nonsensical to do, you should check it out.

If anyone is missing an astronaut suit, don't worry, I borrowed it temporarily. I just wanted to see what my co-workers would do if I showed up to work wearing it and pretended nothing was out of the ordinary. At first little Timmy in Finance was a bit intimidated when I showed up asking for the quarterly reports. He just stared at me from the corner of his eye and pretended I was not there, but after a few minutes passed in silence, he handed them over. See, everyone trusts a man in a space suit.

Another sunset shot at San Gregorio Beach during the photowalk led by Jay Patel and Varina Patel . This one reminded me of an ink blot. What do you see?

Inflatable sex dolls in a swimming pool, Westdene, Johannesburg, South Africa. Gently moving in the current of the swimming pool pump, these dolls had a pathos together which I struggled to capture in these photographs.
I got a lot of mileage out of Jason, the PhD in Dance, and his performance for our studio lighting class. It was nice to just have him do his routine and for us to just have to keep our eye pressed to the viewfinder or composing through the liveview.
These are some of the shots that intrigued me through the first go around, I'm still experimenting with negative space, and different POV's.

I have only been to Yosemite a couple of times but I never feel quite prepared for the experience. The park seems like a place stuck in time where you are likely to encounter glowing spring wells, sprites hovering around massive trees, and large carnivores with attitudes. It is hard not to let yourself be engulfed by its charm and end up wanting to move in, elf-style.
