AHH. It's winter. I did not expect it to come this quickly! It's been so cold, so I'm hiding in scarves, and Skyrim. It's crazy, I went outside to take a picture, and had to run inside and get a scarf and warmer jacket.

This happened.

 

My hair is also a really light blue, now, I loove it! I might try to put a baby-blue dye over it, though. :3

Also, the texture I put over it was a picture of sparkling snow, that I took when it snowed for two weeks last winter~ <3

 

Also, Kaskade's album "Fire & Ice" is amazing. So, listen to this.

I'm exhausted beyond words. I'm getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night, no more than that. I'm bombarded with school and homework. Geometry quiz, two sections of history notes and Q&A, and an entire double-page spread for the yearbook all due on Friday, none of which I have started, none of which I have the damn time to do. I'm beat, so bad I want to cry. The worst part is, when I get into my bed, no matter how early or how late, it takes me hours to fall asleep. Hours.

 

I want a cure.

... il solito bacio, invece, per chi la guarda a grandezza originale :D

 

"La rocca fu costruita nel sec. XI, tra il 1073 ed il 1077, dall’abate di S. Scolastica Giovanni V, allo scopo di instaurare sul castello di Subiaco il dominio monastico.

Venne parzialmente distrutta dal terribile terremoto del 1349, nel 1461 venne abitata per un breve periodo da Giovanni Torquemada ( zio del più celbe inquisitore) inviato lì da papa Callisto III.

I lavori più radicali di ricostruzione e mutamento furono eseguiti nel 1476 dal cardinale Rodrigo Borgia, suo successore, il quale, nella parte orientale, elevò una fortificata torre quadrangolare.

 

Opera dell’architetto Baccio Pontelli, fu messa a difesa della vecchia fortezza con la quale comunicava attraverso un corridoio assai angusto e provvisto di trabocchetto. La torre, corredata di merlature e feritoie, baluardi e carceri, fu l’espressione-sintesi del programma politico del Borgia, che la disse eretta in onore di S. Benedetto, a tutela dei monaci, dei castelli abbaziali e dei confini dello stato pontificio. In tal senso parla un’epigrafe, incassata tuttora nella parte occidentale della torre.

La Rocca ospitò Vannozza De Captaneis, l’amante di Rodrigo che, tra il 1476 ed il 1486, vi diede alla luce i celebri rampolli del commendatario Cesare e Lucrezia.

Nel 1492, eletto Rodrigo papa con il nome di Alessandro VI, Rocca e commenda sublacense passarono al cardinale Giovanni Colonna, quale compenso del voto datogli in conclave, e per lui alla sua famiglia, il cui dominio si prolungò per 116 anni.

La Rocca conobbe i piacevoli ozi e la vita scorretta del commendatario Pompeo, il quale ne fece un baluardo contro papa Giulio II che, censurandone la condotta, gli ordinò di cedere carica e privilegi al cugino Marcantonio. La morte del Pontefice, però, vanificò l’imperativo della Santa Sede.

Fu solo nel 1513 che Pompeo, previa assoluzione da parte di Leone X, cedette la commenda al proprio nipote Scipione. Tre anni dopo le truppe di Pompeo attaccarono quelle papali che, per ritorsione, assalirono i feudi Colonnesi tra i quali Subiaco dove bruciarono alcune case e demolirono parte della Rocca.

Questa venne completamente smantellata nel 1556 dai soldati di Paolo IV, durante le lotte cruente intercorse tra i colonnesi ed il papato, che catturarono il commendatario Francesco e lo tradussero nelle prigioni di Castel Sant’ Angelo.

Rimesso in libertà, questi provvide ad effettuare nella Rocca rilevanti restauri tra i quali un suntuoso appartamento detto, appunto, dei “Colonna”.

Nel 1633 la commenda fu affidata da Urbano VIII dei Barberini ai suoi nipoti così che la Rocca per 105 anni rimase al centro degli atti del loro governo autoritario e severo.

I Barberini. però, nulla fecero per ingrandirla e fortificarla e quando nel novembre del 1753, Benedetto XIV tolse ai commendatari la giurisdizione temporale, la Rocca cessò di avere ogni interesse feudale ed importanza militare.

Nuovo lustro le donarono i lavori commissionati nel 1778 da Pio VI all’architetto Pietro Camporese che, nell’eseguirli costruì la carrabile, il portale, l’androne per le carrozze, l’orologio pubblico apposto sulle mura occidentali, dimezzò la rocca borgiana e decorò gli appartamenti con pregevoli affreschi.

Rese, insomma, la Rocca una degna dimora per l’abate commendatario cancellandone, però le originarie caratteristiche di fortezza medievale.

Infine, l’occupazione napoleonica del 1799 la depauperò di ogni preziosa suppellettile così che, attualmente, i saloni sono adorni solo di notevoli affreschi della seconda metà del settecento di Liborio Coccetti e dei fratelli Zuccari.

Nel 1915 la commenda venne soppressa per volere di papa Benedetto XV e la Rocca restituita definitivamente all’abate di S. Scolastica. "

He was standing on the side walk a few feet away from the busy cross section. He stood still with his eyes closed and he would smile at times. I couldn't help but jump to the conclusion that he probably is daydreaming. Maybe he was dreaming of a different life, different place, or different situation. Whatever he was dreaming about he was definitely happy. I could not help but smile when he smiled, his smile was full of joy and happiness. I was truly happy for him that even for a couple of minutes he was able to go into his own world and escape reality.

This building was a bugger to shoot. and the white white sky didnt help either.

I ended up using a red filter, hence the spooky aura.

 

Took bad i couldn't go slightly wider, this composition is on the annoying side.

Sadly, I remember nothing about this shot - other than it was with my other 'special slides'. All it reveals, that it was shot on Ektachrome and it was processed in a February of 197x (even the date stamp is incomplete).

 

The best thing though is that I did not make the mistake of mounting it in glass frame. Contrary to all that was believed at the time they have become problematic with microscopic dust having invaded every facet and I have to take them apart to be able to scan them at all.

It's been a very long day at work today, left the house at 7:30 this morning, got back at 9:30 tonight and have had a somewhat hectic time inbetween (productive though!) I'm quite surprised I managed to remember to take a photo of the day tonight with the little brain function I have left! LOL!

 

There is (as often the case!) a bit of a story here. Some of the older children at school were selling flowers this evening as part of their enterprise project. When I left to come home there was just one sad and lonely and very wilted gerbera sitting in a bucket of water. It looked such a sad specimen I couldn't resist taking it home, giving it a trim and some water and then immortalising it with a photo! There's something quite satisfying about taking an ugly duckling and turning into a swan! ;-))

Anyway, the Gerbera has perked up and I'm waffling, I should really go to bed! Will catch up tomorrow! :-)

Water erosion, it's amazing what it can sculpt. This is in Rattle Snake Canyon just outside Page Arizona. It’s all about light so if you ever shot here watch you highlight to shadow ratios. The histogram curves put me just inside both ends of exposure. I lowered the gamma to .89 to darken the shadows to bring out the depths of texture. As well I brought up the blue level and a bit of saturation.

c l i c k

This was not my original idea, I had something planned out, and it would have really been something. but, it didn't work out. That's something that happens with me, i can never plan out a shot, i get too excited about it and it falls short. This time I just couldn't get past the NO TRESPASSING gate. but, I love this shot more than I think that original shot.

totw:: movie lines- from casablanca, but more so, from "As Time Goes By."

like my switch from yesterday's shot to this? haha from OMG scurry to aw flowers. heh

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m done.

And my oh my, that’s nice to say :) So I’ll now go through the typical 365 final shot description part…

 

I started flickr because someone told me about it and figured it would be a pretty good place to get some feedback on my photos other than my friends on myspace and facebook. I didn’t have much to use, and my stream was less than buzzing with comments. Then I found this group for a “One object 365 days project” and thought that would be pretty cool. Each day do something different with the same object. So I chose this little stuffed rat “Felix” and got pretty far, around day 23 I found FGR. Then little by little my “One object 365” dropped and I started doing more self portraits. Then, when I decided to do a Self Portrait 365 project I dropped my other project and started one Tuesday in August. The date meant nothing to me, and it doesn’t now. August 12th. It was just a day. Just a day that started this whole mess of amazingness. Just a day. But, I really think every time August 12th rolls around, I’m going to remember it was the start of something more awesome than I ever though possible.

 

I didn’t grow up knowing I wanted to work with art. I switched around with my “future plan” a lot. But I’d always loved to take pictures. I used to own a Polaroid and I would run out of film faster than we could buy it. Then I obviously went mad and sold it. Dumb. It wasn’t until high school that I realized that I belonged in some sort of art field. And it wasn’t until flickr that I knew it was photography. And, now, it’s switched again. I’ve fallen in love with theatrics. Theatrical makeup is where my heart is now. And I’ve got you all to thank for that. I used to play with my makeup in my mirror late at night. Trying to do what the makeup artists do in movies. Halloween soon became my favourite time of year because I could actually SHOW people what I did, without looking foolish.

 

I owe so much to this photo sharing site and this 365 project. It’s silly sounding, but it’s true. It has become a sort of therapy for me. I’ve let so much out with each picture I’ve posted. I’ve shared with you all more than I’ve shared with my family. I had no idea it would be so easy to tell you all everything that I have. My secrets, and quarks, random facts and tidbits. I suppose it’s because it’s just text on a screen rather than face to face.

 

I’ve met so many amazing people. Please, if I don’t include you personally, if you’ve followed me this far, know you mean a lot to me :) These are in no particular order.

-Abe.Oh Abe. I don’t even know what to start with. You’ve helped me so much more than anyone knows. When I was ready to give up you were there ready to pick me up. I’ve cried to you, and laughed with you. You’re an inspiration. Each day, each time you ABE a damn photo ;-) I am reminded how lucky I am.

-Liina. :) You, like your sweet hubby, have helped me so much. I hope one day, I’ll be able to meet you in person just to give you the hug you deserve. ♥

-Steven. I just can’t think of the words. You’re more amazing each day. I doubt you even know how much I look toward you. Each time you upload something it’s something new, something exciting, something beautiful. You’re one of the most amazing artists I’ve ever ‘met’ And hell, you’re funnier than most people in the world :)

-Erin and Ashley. You girls are freaking amazing. Everything you do. Erin with your film work, oy I just love you. :D and Ashley…you’re just the bees knees!!! Hehe. I love you girls. I know one day, when I move to LA we are going to have a road trip and have slumber parties and we’ll play with makeup and have pillow fights and prank call steven and vic :)

-Justin. My asian friend. Heh. You’ve been just one of the best contacts. You’re always so honest in your photography. And lets face it, you’re just awesome. Who else gives asian hugs? No one. Not like you. Hahaa

-Jenni. You were one of my first favourite on flickr. :) I think the first picture I saw of yours was “To Flickr with love”. I knew I had to follow you from what I saw. You’ve been the biggest inspiration here. Your art is just perfection, and you’re so natural at it. It looks like just another part of you. I’m completely envious of your ability to show so much in a photograph. From the simplest photographs to the most complex, I’m always amazed. Whenever I find myself in an idea slump I always find myself looking through all your photos and each time I’m amazed.

-Michelle. You’re my lovely, and I miss out note battles :)) you know you mean a lot. ♥♥

-Maite. Aw, maite mouse :) you’re like the cool aunt who buys me beer and sneaks me into bars. I look up to you. And your epic paleness ;-) Love you. Xoxo

-Carrie. You’re like the cool sister-in-law who drinks the beer with me Maite bought and dances in the club. You’re just wonderful. YOU’RE an angel sent down to make the world brighter ;-) I love you. xoxo

-Brookie. My skype buddy. You are just fucking amazing. You’re so real, that’s something I truly admire. You know what you want, and you’re doing anything to get it. I’m so proud to call you my friend. I wish I knew what else to write. You know how much you mean to me. You’ve been someone I can talk to about anything with. You’re an amazing person. A beautiful person. I hope you know that. ♥

 

And everyone else:: Hannah, Annick, Ellie, Tom, Julia, Jen, Vic, Joel, Charlie, Pete, Wendy, Tony, Rea, Dave, Martha, Paula, Kimmers, Pixie, Rich, Charlie, Ryan, Bex, Gooner, Flooz, Mike, Amanda and K. I love you all. I wish I could write to everyone. I know I’ve forgotten someone.

 

I know I’ve written a novel. But, I can’t help it. I just have to thank you all for following me through this crazy journey. Now I'm ready to start a new one.

NO not a year two. Not any time soon at least. but Something better. I've learned so much through this project. I've got to put it to use other than photographing myself everyday.

 

Thank you guys so much. for everything ♥

 

I wont disappear. I've got my 52 weeks. I'll be around watching your streams ;-)

I love you kids.

Explore # 56 Aug 13, 2009 .................Bottlenose dolphin View On Black

 

Atlantic Bottle Nosed Dolphin.................. Has to be seen in original size!

 

Nose Dip will give you an idea :-)

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Bottlenose dolphins, the genus Tursiops, are the most common and well-known members of the family Delphinidae, the family of oceanic dolphins. Recent molecular studies show the genus contains two species, the Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops aduncus), where previous thought was that this was one species. Bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate seas worldwide.

 

Bottlenose dolphins live in groups called pods that typically number about 15 dolphins, but group size varies from solitary bottlenose dolphins up to groups of over 100 or even occasionally over 1000 animals. Their diet consists mainly of forage fish. Dolphin groups often work as a team to harvest schools of fish, but they also hunt individually. Dolphins search for prey primarily using echolocation, which is similar to sonar. They emit clicking sounds and listen for the return echo to determine the location and shape of nearby items, including potential prey. Bottlenose dolphins also use sound for communication. Sounds used for communication include squeaks and whistles emitted from the blowhole and sounds emitted through body language, such as leaping from the water and slapping their tails on the water.

 

There have been numerous investigations of bottlenose dolphin intelligence. Such testing has included tests of mimicry, use of artificial language, object categorization and self-recognition. This intelligence has driven considerable interaction with humans. Bottlenose dolphins are popular from aquarium shows and television programs such as Flipper. They have also been trained by militaries for tasks such as locating sea mines or detecting and marking enemy divers. In some areas they cooperate with local fishermen by driving fish towards the fishermen and eating the fish that escape the fishermen's nets. Some encounters with humans are harmful to the dolphins: people hunt bottlenose dolphins for food, and dolphins are killed inadvertently as a bycatch of tuna fishing. A bottlenose dolphins can jump up 16 feet out of the water.[citation needed]

The Palace of Fine Arts was built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which was held in San Francisco. None of the buildings were meant to be permanent. However, the Palace of Fine Arts was so beautiful that it was not torn down after the fair. Miraculously, the palace survived the 1989 earthquake with little damage. The Beaux-Arts style structure features and dome and Roman-style curved colonnades. Surrounding the palace is a park with a duck pond. Adjacent to the palace is the San Francisco Exploratorium, which is a discovery museum with hands-on exhibits on science, art and human perception.

 

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS:

"The Palace was not designed as 'a Valentine for San Francisco.' Maybeck visualized its colonnade streaming with people, finding a reward within the great doors."

 

The task of creating a Palace of Fine Arts for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition fell to the architect Bernard R. Maybeck, then fifty years old and known for his innovative ideas. Setting to work on this new project, he chose as his theme a Roman ruin, mutilated and overgrown, in the mood of a Piranesi engraving. But this ruin was not to exist solely for itself to show "the mortality of grandeur and the vanity of human wishes .... " Although it was meant to give delight by its exterior beauty, its purpose was also to offer all visitors a stimulating experience within doors.

 

In playing host to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, The Fair, which opened on February 20, 1915, San Francisco was honoring the discovery of the Pacific Ocean and the completion of the Panama Canal; it was also celebrating its own resurrection after the shattering earthquake and fire of 1906.

 

The problems of choosing the exact site in the city had finally been overcome and groundwork had been going on for some time. Last of the buildings to be erected, on the lagoon and close by a group of Monterey cypresses, was Maybeck's Palace of Fine Arts. With its exhibition hall to house the work of living artists (dominated by the Impressionists), its colonnade, and its rotunda -- plans for all of which had dazzled the Commissioners when the huge brown-paper sketch was put before them -- it fulfilled the architect's dream: it was as beautiful reflected in the water as it was against the sky. And when the Palace was completed (Roman in style although a freely-interpreted, purely romantic conception, and Greek in decorative treatment) its exceptional harmony gave it instant appeal to the public.

CAT:

Vilafamés és un municipi del País Valencià que es troba a la comarca de la Plana Alta (Castelló de la Plana).

Va pertànyer històricament al Maestrat de Montesa. Fou conquistada la plaça el 1233 per les tropes reials, i donada a poblar el 30 d'agost del 1241 a G. Ramon de Viella i d'altres. Englobava dins del seu territori els llocs de Moró i Vall d'Alba (aquest últim s'independitzaria com a municipi el 1925), passant cap el 1264 a poder dels santjoanistes. En fundar-se l'orde de Montesa, va revertir al seu senyoriu, seguint les vicissituds històriques dels pobles montesians. Fou unionista i agermanada, en contra del seu senyor, el maestre. Contra la pròpia orde s'enfrontaria al consistori de Vilafamés l'any 1635, quan hom va sol·licitar a la Santa Seu la compra de la jurisdicció alfonsina, incorporant-se des d'aleshores al Patrimoni Reial. Durant les guerres carlines del XIX Vilafamés fou escenari en repetides ocasions de les escaramusses hagudes entre isabelins i les tropes comandades per Cabrera, Serrador i Forcadell.

 

ESP:

Vilafamés es un municipio del País Valencià situado en la provincia de Castelló, en la comarca de la Plana Alta.

Ocupa una posición estratégica sobre lo alto de una mole que forma parte del extremo septentrional de la Sierra de les Conteses. Esta ubicación le confiere amplias vistas sobre el llano que se extiende a sus pies y los paisajes circundantes. A su vez, su posición a medio paso entre las tierras del interior y el litoral, hace que el municipio disponga de las características propias de una población de interior con las ventajas que supone su proximidad a la costa por lo que goza de las características climáticas propias de una población mediterránea, con inviernos suaves y veranos calurosos.

Las primeras evidencias de ocupación del entorno de Vilafamés, se centran en los hallazgos arqueológicos realizados en él , donde se localizaron restos antropológicos. Sus orígenes se remontan al Pleistoceno Medio, según el descubrimiento de los restos del llamado "homo erectus vilafamensis" en la Cova de Dalt del Tossal de la Font con una antigüedad de 80.000 años. Una continuidad en la ocupación del medio estaría reflejada en la Cova del Matutano, yacimiento del Paleolítico Superior. Las primeras manifestaciones artísticas aparecen con las pinturas esquemáticas de la Edad del Bronce.

Por lo que respecta al núcleo urbano, el mismo topónimo AVilahameç, ABeniffamez, denota su origen en época musulmana. De este periodo se conservan entre otros elementos, la cimentación del castillo que corona el cerro sobre el que se asienta el municipio y el trazado urbano de la zona contigua al mismo, de estrechas callejuelas tortuosas. Quedan asimismo vestigios de las antiguas fortificaciones constituidas por lienzos de muralla y restos de torres.

So this Diorama spawned because of the last one I built. This was done simply because I felt the tiny diorama needed a friend. I had so much fun building the tank, I'm very proud of it! I actually totally forgot to put an Aayla Secura Figure in this Diorama (I currently have one on the way that I just bought, so it'll be here real soon and I'll post an updated photo of the MOC with her in it)

The tree design on this MOC was very different for me, used a lot of SNOT and Mixel Joints and I think the design is really cool, it needs to be played with more but I figured I'd test it in this built and expand on things later :)

 

Next up is another Bionicle, then another Clone Wars MOC, Just the one though, there won't be 'Five' of them, but they will 'Echo' some of my favourite episodes (WINK WINK)

This image was shot on my back lawn while laying in the grass with the 500mm propped up on a coffee cup

  

Learn to express rather than impress. Expressing evokes a "me too" attitude while impressing evokes a "so what" attitude.

2nd floor landing and stairwell, abandoned DLP Rehearsal Studios, Dallas, Texas.

 

Alternate Title: "She's Got Legs" (with apologies to ZZ Top)

Alternate Title #2: "Mannequins, 50% off!"

Alternate Title #3: "My Half Sister" (Thanks Mojavegirl!)

 

Camera position for this shot is almost directly above the one for this shot.

 

This is an interesting little place; a long, two-story building with a half-sunken basement in what is now a really rough industrial neighborhood, it had obviously in it's past at one point been used by a company called Austin Industries, based on the reams of files and cancelled checks found in several of the rooms. At some point a few years ago though, it had been repurposed as a band rehearsal studio complex, and throughout the building there were posters, handbills, and flyers to that effect. Interestingly, when I found out about this abandonment, I thought that it sounded like a place I had rehearsed with a band several years earlier (I’m a musician when I’m not photographing), and sure enough, it was! It was interesting to see it again, abandoned, in total darkness, and trashed beyond recognition.

 

Here's an aerial view if you're interested in how it looks externally.

 

The east end of the basement was under a few inches of water from a broken pipe that was leaking at a pretty good rate; frankly, I was surprised the water was still on, as the place had obviously not been used in some time and had been scavenged and trashed by vandals and appeared to be the home of a few homeless folks from time to time...fortunately not while Phil and I were there though.

 

It took quite a while for us to explore the whole place; 3 floors with lots of little rooms on each side of the long hallway, most of which were filled with some sort of trash of one sort or another; a bass drum case here, a mannequin there, a tacky guitar-clock here...lots to see! So the extended exploration coupled with technical difficulties we were both experiencing that night really cut down on our photo ops.

 

This is a place I wouldn't want to go back to without a mask or respirator of some sort; there's basically zero ventilation, as all the windows and doors are boarded up (well, except for one!), and with all the trash, water mildew, residue, possibly asbestos and who knows what else...it seemed like a good place to develop some respiratory issues.

 

Night, very, very slight amount of ambient sodium through the block glass window, blue, green, and red-gelled strobes, LED flashlight and mini-maglite. White-balanced at 2500K.
