This morning was a great foggy morning, but only over the Marymoor park. i nearly didn't notice it at first, but at the very last moment i decided to give it a try and i drove into the park. Low fog like this one is quite exciting to capture, when all the trees are popping out at the top. fascinating.

Excerpt from fpf.ccidahk.gov.hk/en/location/detail.php?id=76:
Tsuen Wan Jockey Club Tak Wah Park was designed along the classical Chinese garden theme. The park, with an area of about 1.63 hectares, is located in Tsuen Wan town centre. Being a Chinese-style garden that is rarely found in Tsuen Wan, Tak Wah Park provides a fine place for relaxation in the bustling town area. Sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, construction works of the park were carried out in 2 phases. Phase I was completed in 1989, while Phase II was completed in 1995. Modelled on the setup of a classical Chinese garden, the park has rock mountains made from Taihu rock, thick foliage, ornamental lakes, ancient village houses, a "pai lau", stone bridge, a stone boat, a pavilion and a verandah. A "Chess Garden" was built in the park, where giant stone-carved pieces of Chinese chess are used to display the endgame for the deliberation of chess lovers. In addition, there are 2 theme gardens in the park, namely, "Camellia Garden" and "Herb Garden", where different species of Camellia and herb are grown. Tak Wah Gallery and Environmental Resources Centre are converted from ancient village houses on the site. They are managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department and Environmental Protection Department respectively.

This hawk was shot through a large caged in area with my long lens. I had a hard time capturing this beautiful bird because I was trying to focus on him, not the fence that was directly in front of him. I had to get the dof just right so that the fence did not show up. This was one of the shots that actually came out pretty well.
Shot at Mill Grove at Audubon.

I feel I am a solitary cloud,
floating over hallowed ground;
summer wind and nature's bounty
spin my world around.
In morning's light of day
your poems shine with colour,
the whirlwind of true romance
makes them sparkle like no other.
In the beauty of your face
I admire nature's perfection,
pushed and so inspired am I
to kiss your dear reflection.
So let your bright light shine,
as we wander hills together,
from a sunny day in May
until the glory of September.
~from the poem Way To My Heart by Joyce Hemsley and John William McGrath III

We don't need no stinkin' ghost town! We've got Jeff. Jeff found this place on a scouting trip a few days before the workshop and took Ken and me there as part of a private tour that he took us on.
Jeff lent me his circular polarizer for this shot, since I thought I had left mine at home, and I could tell as soon as I looked through the viewfinder that it made a tremendous difference. Turns out my polarizer was in my camera bag all along, I just failed to look in one of the pockets.
Tulipano....: non tutti lo sanno ma il fiore che rappresenta il vero amore è il tulipano, il fiore perfetto per una dichiarazione d'amore in piena regola. La leggenda popolare racconta che il fiore sia nato dal sangue di un giovane suicidatosi per amore. Perfetto per dire che amate e amerete per sempre.

I know, the English name is Spindle, but in the Netherlands we call this shrub "kardinaalsmuts" which means "cardinal's cap" :).
The wood was traditionally used for the making of spindles for spinning wool; this use is the origin of the English name of the shrubs.
The fruit is a pink-red four- or five-valved pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange seeds. The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings. All parts of the plants are poisonous to humans if eaten.

My last shot is ending up to be the most popular in my short time here on Flickr, so yesterday afternoon I ventured out to the same spot in Brisbane’s bayside in search of some cloudy reflections .
Nature unfortunately didn’t play the game, and not a single puffy cloud was in sight :<
The sun had just set and I turned around to see this beautiful layer of colors in the sky and the moon begging for some attention!!!
This spot was given to me by Kane, check out his stream, it’s impressive!
“Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you're not takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else.” - Alexander William Gaskarth
I'm really proud of this photo. Oh and, I have developed a fascination for Masquerade Masks, so expect to see them later in my stream.
I feel like I need to do some soul searching because I have had no motivation lately. Hence why I'm two weeks behind on this project. Quitting will not be an option, however. Even if I'm a few weeks behind the whole time, I'm not giving up on this project.
School has been going pretty good. I'm still not a fan of it. I wish I just had all the tools to go out and get a career right now, but alas, I do not. I aced my first midterm in math though!
I hope that you are all doing great! :)
November 23rd,2009(sooc) ON BLACK
Today was beyond nice. i cleaned a lot:D(me love cleaning eheh), cleaned the stove, my bathroom, washed clothes, and tomorrow i'm going to vacum my room and wash some more things. I made a delicious lunch,eggs with tomatoes and onions, i read a lot, i edited all the pictures from the 17th until now, i dressed up, i danced around my room, i laughed my head off, i smiled, i did lots of fun stuff. I'm easily pleased and entertained so i'm never bored and i find things to keep myself busy or entertain myself. The simplest things make me happy. I worked for almost 4hrs tonight, and it was fun working with brooke. i've never closed with her before and it was beyond fun. She's so cute and she looks like taylor swift..in my opinion. just wish she didn't cover her beauty with all that makeup but hey whatever floats her boat. I found out that she wants to be a special needs teacher, like me:D:D her and i got so excited about that. At work i was dancing around and shaking my booty, i didn't care who was watching i refused to be bored at work, since it was sooo slow tonight. More and more that i'm thinking about it the more and more i want it to happen. Me not making more than 50k a year. It's not that i want to be poor, but there is something i just love about struggling. haha ok that may sound funny..let me explain*looks around to see whose she's talking to* I like using coupons for food, i like scrapping together money to buy things, i love shopping at thrift stores,for clothes,i love looking through trash cans to see if anyone threw away still good things, i love garage sales, i love target,i love deals, i love love having to work with what i have, i love mending my own things, i love reading, writing letters, and making home made things,gifts, and etc. I love going to sales. I love it all. I can't explain it. I guess because i grew up with it, and it was so fun and i always felt so at home in low class, poor areas. I feel off and not myself in rich areas, or around things that are really richy. I have nothing against rich people or people that buy really rich things, but i feel so homey, and comfortable in poor, low class houses, or areas, middle class as well. I LOVE handme downs, i love re gifts from familys, that have been passed down. I love things that are old and have been in the family forever. I love using "ghetto" things. I'm not saying i don't like buying things when i need to, but i like shopping at the doller store, and not buying really expensive things and clothes. Haha never mind i can't explain myself. I just never want to be rich..not that i'm scared i will loose this side of me, but i just feel better when i'm not rich. If i ever am rich i'll just keep doing what i do now, and save the money i have for things like trips to travel the world or what not. Plus i think having very expensive material possesions won't make you happy. There is one thing i want a lot of when i get older FOOOOOODDDD! haha indeed i will be cooking EVERYTHING home made when i move out, you can be sure of that, even if i don't have a lot of money i will scrape things together..i always do. haha but yeah today was so great and just what i need. don't work until wednesday night. oh and about the barcode..i love them..and also it's just a silly thing for jonel..of course he doesn't own me but it's like me saying "i'm faithfully yours and no matter what happens i will always stay by your side you can count on me to be yours." he calls himself the halima expert or as i say"limaoligist" ahha i can't wait until he calls me from ait so i can tell him about that. today and last night i felt great i didn't cry or anything, i'm so positive actually seeing jonel has made me even better than i was before i saw him. the first two days were horrible but now i'm stronger than ever. love it. I'm sorry it's been so long since i've uploaded i'm back now. and if you guys read all this haha i love you.

Elle levait davantage ses bras, et lui, avec une poussée plus forte, enfonçait son visage dans leur creux. J'étais obligé d'être le complice de cette profanation. J'étais obligé d'être spectateur de ce déhanchement inouï; d'assister à l'alliage forcé de ces deux êtres, dont un abîme incommensurable séparait les natures diverses...

I think I need a new camera. All the shots I took at this place have weird noise in them. the noise kind of looks like rectangular shapes and it's all of over the images in a kind of pattern. Seems to be a electronic problem of some sort :( I tried my hardest to get rid of most of it but it leaves the images looking a little strange. I suppose you can't really notice if you just take a quick look at them. Sigh ....

I woke up in the middle of the night by a huge thunderstorm, I got up in a nanosecond and drove under the storm to the sea, there were lightningbolt flying all over the place..
These babies was taken from the backside of the storm I mounted up the FM3a on a small video tripod on the passanger seat of my car and shot about 6-8 minute exposures as long as there was anything worth photographing... I got two photos with big lightningbolts on and this one is my favorite. I decided to no go to wide as I have experience of really small lightningbolts on wideangle photos, this is 50mm (fullframe and unmanipulated)
I used Fuji Velvia 50 Film in my Nikon FM3a camera 50/1.4 lens about 8 minute exposure.
Made at Fäboda, Jakobstad, Finland.
I like to hear what you think. I love creative comments, I have no problem with negative such as long as it's somewhat constructive.
EDIT: 9'th of March 2007, replaced the photo with a better scan (with less jpeg artifacts)
EDIT: 2'nd September 07, added a copyright stamp on the photo and made it too small to use in print, found it on a Chinese picture bureau, with a link right back to the large size on flickr...
Ne volim januar i bele zimske vragove
U svakom snegu vidim iste tragove
Tragove malih stopa, broj 30 i ko zna
Kako polako odlaze.
Vise ne prolazim ulicom Dositejevom
I nemam pojma kad neko pita gde je to
Tih 206 koraka, duzinom tog sokaka
Nikada nisam brojao
Nisam te nikad cuvao
Nisam te nikada mazio, pazio
Tvoju sam ljubav gazio, svemu smisljao broj.
Nisam te nikad stedeo
I nisam umeo stati i ostati
Sta ce od mene postati
Mali andjele moj.

The best remedy for those who are afraid,

somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be

MIS MEJORES DESEOS PARA TODOS!!! MUCHAS FELICIDADES Y PROSPERIDAD PARA EL PRÓXIMO 2010!!!
Volar de día nos permite visualizar cielos espectaculares a través de las ventanillas... Sentirnos libres y emocionados al ver tanta magia... Y a veces nos encontramos con estos "mares de nubes" como copos de algodón. Esta es una vista a unos 7000 metros de altura entre Colombia y Ecuador. No es una toma de gran calidad porque fue realizada con un celular... pero me gustó la vista... y quería compartirla con todos ustedes.
Rabo de Nube
Silvio Rodríguez
Si me dijeran pide un deseo
preferiría un rabo de nube,
un torbellino en el suelo
y una gran ira que sube.
Un barredor de tristezas,
un aguacero en venganza
que cuando escampe parezca
nuestra esperanza.
Si me dijeran pide un deseo,
preferiría un rabo de nube,
que se llevara lo feo
y nos dejara el querube.
Un barredor de tristezas,
un aguacero en venganza
que cuando escampe parezca
nuestra esperanza.
(1977)
Y una sugerencia para escuchar... Rabo de Nube: Silvio Rodríguez y Luis Eduardo Aute

I try to catch the sunlight
You're drawing down the moon
You know
That some small flying thing
Will be here soon
I'm casting into cyberspace
The tendrils of my web
A hungry, unknown artist
Not
Another dull celeb
The beauty of my photograph
Will catch you if it can
Spinning world illusions
All for unsuspecting men
I ask you
For a little while
To stick with me
Immersed in poem-pictures
Life suspended
On the cyber-tree
The web of granma spider
Will drain you of your blood
While
Cocoons of poem-pictures
Can transform your mood
If you think you are a caterpillar
Climbing up a leaf
I bring a transformation
And a solace for your grief
Unlike the hairy spider
I am not a creeping thief
From your dreary daily burdens
I bring relief
If looking into beauty
You fear that you will die
I offer you a rebirth

A butterfly

Hello flickr, how have you been?
Thank you all for the well-wishes and emails during my absence. I'm fine, I've just been lazy. I needed to check out for a while, and I did just that. It's likely I won't be around as much in the near future: its winter and I seem to lose a lot of motivation. I have a hard time finding the beauty in things when I can't feel my toes and its dark @ 4:30pm. I'm still trying to shoot and I've got lots of archive stuff (see above) so I don't think I'll be going dormant. A photo a day seems like a bit of a stretch though.
Photographically speaking, 2009 was a pretty amazing year for me. Much of my success is due to the amazing network of contacts and friends I've developed here. Your commentary and criticism is fantastic, your work is inspiring. All of you drive me is some way to become a better storyteller through photos. You all rock, I really can't thank you enough.
So, Happy (much belated) New Year. I wish you the very best in 2010, I cant wait to see what you have to show in the coming year!
Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
I've been away for so long
I let you go for so long
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
Thank you, Essence of a dream for this wonderful texture!
Sailing it makes me feel free ... here I let your imagination to "wonder" ... one can sail even go to "Neverland" , as long as you feel free, and that is what sailing is, the sea, blue it al that makes me feel so good ... so I wish you all a smooth sail to your favourite place; some come, some go but then its life... just enjoy the remaining summer days (here they last all September) sending you my blues ENJOY !

Pinoy Kokadero driving along Quezon Avenue
The photo above is a Philippine Jeepney. It is the most popular public transport all around the Philippines. I believe Quezon Avenue is quite a popular avenue in Manila (capital of the Philippines).
This is a tribute to ALL Pinoy Kodakeros out there! And most especially to those who continually keep this group fun and very enjoyable.
I keep learning new things from the members of this group.
Having said that... I don't want to discount my non-Filipino friends... You too are also my sources of inspiration! Without your support... I wouldn't be enjoying photography as I am enjoying it now... so many many thanks!

Ps. OK, so I took the Christmas lights out again... After uploading the photo last night... I had this idea to take some more bokeh shots... I'm sure some of you are finding this quite boring now... sorry! I felt like taking more bokeh shots... Oh well... :)
