I added the border treatment to enhance the sense of the blizzard that I was out in to take this picture. I recall that the temperature that day was around -30C (-22F) but a lot colder with the wind factor added. The sun came out and made it possible to get some great shots, but the wind was blowing the snow around like crazy !

The old Mongtomery Ward building, built in 1928 on West 7th Street in Fort Worth, has recently been renovated for restaurants and specialty retail spaces on the first floor. Floors two through eight are planned as residential lofts in the near future.

 

**Besides boosting the contrast, no other photo manipulation was done.

these are pictures taken from my 2nd photo session with Asrul. Ive taken more than 200 shots so to pick only a few was really tough...

 

Asrul helped me to edit the photos last night.. there were many times when we just gasped at the photos that we produced.. I said we because in photography there are two parties involved.. the photographer and the subject..

 

6 months ago, I never dream of taking such photos..

 

Now Im taking photos that even I get chill while looking at it.. cos its just more than the photos.. its the whole process of getting there. Its the whole process of sharing artistic ideas and trying to materialize what you have in mind..

 

Im lucky because Asrul is artistic himself.. so he can see my visions or ideas and help me materialize it.

 

From this 2nd session, even though Asrul is no more shirtless, its even more sexier.. for me, anyway.. It was his straight eye contact that made my knees shake.. haha

 

Im loving the result very much.

The Red Fort in Delhi at night - all lit up just before the sound and light show that takes us through the life of the fort, and parallelly the life of Mughal Delhi over the last few centuries... Built of sandstone (which gives it the name) by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan between 1638 and 1648, the Red Fort today plays host to the Prime Minister and the national flag on Indepedence day...

 

I couldn't see much of the fort since it was shut by the time we reached - so detailed photographs will have to wait till I make the next trip to Delhi... But here is more on the beautiful fort from the ever-dependable wikipedia...

Thank you all !!

Entrance of the Castle

 

The Château d’Havré, long left in a state of ruin, owes its resurrection to a few enthusiasts determined to restore a monument that forms part of the history of the great families of Hainault, in particular that of the de Croÿs. It was this family that made the Château d’Havré the seat of a duchy.

Today is gloomy and damp as anything. So, lets go back in time...

A fledgling that wandered over to our campsite during a recent visit to Lake Ray Roberts in North Texas....

 

He was covered with ants and chirping in pain and so we picked him up and cleaned all the ants off him. I have read an article recently that said that moving a fledgling out of danger is a good thing to do.....so we relocated him to some deep grass.

 

I hope you'll view this at the larger size where you can see the detail much better.....

Taken at Ferry Beach in Scarborough, Maine.

Just realized I'm going in to my tenth year of free public art projects. Since 2005 I've been leaving FREE works of art in public places throughout southwest Michigan. These works of art are typically drawings and paintings done on cardboard or scrap paper. Anyone who finds the art is encouraged to take it home and enjoy.

 

Over time, I've received emails from individuals all over the world offering to place my art in their neighborhoods. Thanks to the generosity of these individuals my art has been seen on the streets of Israel, Iran, Austria, Brazil, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland and England. Below are photos of some of the recipients.

 

Special thanks to various photographers for taking photos of the recipients: Dogtired, My Dog Sighs, Korp, Rex Dingler, Bonus Saves, Herbert Gundran.. apologies to anyone I forgot.

 

"Farmaishi program" Means that "Programme on DEMAND". This version of the photograph appears as the demand of our sweet Doc. Taken on last saturday morning, Lahore Pakistan. The place is my hostel in UET.

After the girls' bath today Kirsten drained the water. Hayley wanted to stay and play with the toys so I filled the tub up for her and added Kirsten's bubble bath. Needless to say Hayley had a great time. I bounced the flash off the ceiling to decrease the harsh light and shadows. Kirsten suggested I make them into a collage. It was inspired by hers.

Eid Mubarak to all you.

Rhoda makes for a great portrait shots... that is except when she's trying to hide from my camera. But here she's playing her guitar so she allows me to take a portrait shot of her...

The trees that whisper in the evening

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Sing a song of sorrow and grieving

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

All she saw was a silhouette of a gun

Far away on the other side.

He was shot six times by a man on the run

And she couldn't find how to push through...
