Part of a ceiling detail from the Getty Center's main visitor rotunda. It has been twisted and tweaked by me. :-)
If you are interested, feel free to view a set of my other posts from the Getty, GettyCenter, and if you want to visit the real thing (on line at least) see the following link, www.getty.edu/. Here is a short description of the museum from the website, it is all true;
"The Getty Center in Los Angeles presents the Getty's collection of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present against a backdrop of dramatic architecture, tranquil gardens, and breathtaking views."
A close up of a Whooper Swan that I took on the outskirts of Reykjavik. I was taken to see them by my contact Helgi, they were very used to his visits so I got to view them at very close quarters
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
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

Photo prise à la forteresse de Râşnov. Ces touristes étaient posté au point le plus haut de la forteresse et admiraient le paysage. Je les ai repéré et j'ai attendu qu'ils aient une attitude photogénique :) J'ai titré "commander of the clouds" mais je crois qu'il disait "Mon intuition me dit qu'on aura une bonne bière dans le bistro qu'on voit là bas !"

Taken at the Râşnov fortress. These tourists were standaing at the higher point of the fortress. I spotted them and waited that they have a photogenic pose :) I choose this title but i think the guy was meaning "My intuition tells me we'll have a good beer in this pub down there".

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
See
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!
This is a good example to show how cold it was in the mornings...
We got up early to rent snowshoes for some back country hiking. There were only 10 pairs available in total, so we had to get there early enough to grab some...
On the way to the trailhead, we saw a tree out in a snowfield glowing bright white. We slowed down and eventually parked the car. It was a tree covered in ice crystals. It looked absolutely beautiful. I had to get close to take pictures, but on the first step trying to reach it, my foot sunk deep into the snow.
That's where the snowshoes came inn... I have never tried it before, so I was awkwardly strapping those things on to my feet and started wading into the snow. I still sunk in a little bit, but it was much more comfortable.
The tree was amazing. It was radiating light from the early morning sun. I took a couple of pictures from different angles. This one I liked the best, because you can see the snow field sparkling in the background. I really like how the background is out of focus and it almost looks like snowflakes are falling.
All the crystals were gone when we drove past the tree again later in the day. I think they only lasted for a brief moment before the sun melted them away.

day 300
1. I can't believe I've taken 300 pictures for this project.
2. I can't believe I only have 65 photos to go.
3. I can't believe there's only 65 days left in the year.
My friend asked me today if I was going to do another 365 project next year. In 2010 I did the 365 on a whim and it completely changed my life. In 2011 I did a 52 week project because I was scared I would stop doing photography if I didn't do a project. And this year I did it to document senior year and college. That's three years in a row of doing a year-long project. So I don't think I'm going to do another project for a while. But as I told my friend, I have so many photo ideas that I'm sure won't make it into the 365 that I'll still have a lot of things that I want to photograph. Plus, I want to broaden my client work and I love the creative process and photography itself that I'll never be able to stop. And I don't want to anyways. I love writing and art, but photography (and especially digital) has an instant gratification that not many things has. It will never cease to blow my mind how emotional and cinematic photos can be and how powerful they are. I have been thinking a lot about what my purpose in life is, and while I love doing a lot of artistic things, writing and photography are definitely my two passions. I feel bad for the writing side as that was my first love and my first calling, and I hardly ever do it (save for this blog) and I hardly ever talk about it. Once the 365 is over I definitely want to incorporate my writing into my photography, because I don't want to be neglectful of one and focus solely on the other.

This one is for ARNEL aka LENAREH, Pinoy Kodakero's poet laureate. Perhaps what I appreciate more about Arnel is his ability to see the lighter side of life. I truly enjoy the simplicity of his view on life as expressed in many of his images. I have enjoyed his “can you guess” posts, his blue sky set, his food and sari-sari shots. His stream is full of treasures which can certainly make you smile. And Arnel is generous. He almost always never leave my stream without a few simple verses of encouragement, sometimes of humor. I feel honored to be his friend and godmother to his young son, Nico. And I am looking forward to meeting him and his family in person and spend some time exploring and shooting some of the beautiful places in the Philippines in October.

L’antic terme del Pi comprenia part dels actuals municipis de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès i de Sora (Osona); (s’estenia des de l’església de Sant Genís del Pi, de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès, fins al mas Casa-ramona, de Sora). Depenia al s XI de la jurisdicció del monestir de Ripoll ; perdé l’autonomia com a terme avançat el segle XVI
Quan a la parròquia de Sant Genís del Pi prop del mas Casademunt, al NE del terme el lloc pertanyia a Ripoll des d’abans del 938. Els homes del Pi gaudien d’autonomia i d’organització civil pròpia, que depenia del paborde de Palau, del monestir ripollès. Avançat el segle XVI es desféu d’aquesta organització, i part de la gent restà sotmesa a Sora i part a Sant Agustí. L’església era proveïda pel paborde de Palau, i encomanada al rector de Sant Agustí al segle XVII.
L’edifici actual fou construït al segle XVIII, i el 1878 perdé els atributs parroquials. Malgrat això, en el petit cementiri observem la construcció recent de nínxols,flors i estris de naturalesa funerària, que son clares senyals justament del manteniment d’algunes activitats especifiques i pròpies de les Parròquies.
L’Alou és un petit nucli, al N del terme, format per un carrer amb força pendent al llarg del qual es troben les cases. Just al costat oposat de la Vall que conformen juntament amb la Parròquia i el Cementiri del Pi.

Also, see it on Mocpages
This build was quite a challenge, As most of you know I usually build plant heavy, castle(ish) scenes, and I hadn't built a city MOC in over 7 years..
So this definitely got me out of my "comfort zone" and looking back now, it was rather refreshing. :)
Thanks for viewing! Have a great day! :)

one recently weekend afternoon, i happened to drive around downtown after a quick coffee break with my sister. somehow, i drove through this freeway overpass. i came down my car with tripod and a 10 stop filter... thinking some long exposure sunset shoots would be nice....
but when i saw all these cars and peole heading different directions to their own way, all the sudden, i felt like a headless chicken (aka - KFC :P). not feeling like to set up anything, not inspiring. i then point & shoot a few single exposures and headed back to pick up my son.
have you had one of those blurr moment before, just don't feel like to shoot anything? bleh bleh... bleh bleh bleh....

Mario Benedetti.

Música : Eres para mi la más bella del mundo
Sabes que para todos no serás el mundo
Pero siempre habrá alguien que para él o ella seas todo su mundo,…
El centro de su universo…
Aquél o aquella que sentirás que te mima y cuida
Que te hará sentir especial y diferente….
Distinto o distinta…..único…única.
Y que te exhibirá orgulloso u orgullosa de ti ante todos...
Y , de repente…
Nos hará sentir ser el más bello centro del bouquet de su vida
Y sin necesidad de preguntas...
Sin necesidad de respuestas.…
Así nos querremos, también,...Tú y Yo.

Listen Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best
I wasn't looking but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
Sometimes I wish someone would
Nobody does it half as good as you
Why'd you have to be so good
The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running, but just keep it coming
How'd you learn to do the things you do
And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Baby, baby
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best
Carly Elisabeth Simon (born June 25, 1945) is an American singer/songwriter and musician. She is also an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and two-time Grammy Award winner. Simon was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994.

i loved it watching on black, you can try : )
>>This picture is dedicated to this special person:
I took this as part of a photo-walk to shoot birds. At first we thought it would be very easy to photograph birds, they’ll be just sitting on branches and all we need to do is zoom to 200mm (this is the max I have) and click. But it was quite opposite, there was not a single bird on any tree (don’t know what the heck were they doing that early morning) and 200mm was no-way enough to shoot birds.
With this great enlightenment and frustration we started capturing all weird things – fallen leaves, hanging spiders, broken twigs…etc etc, it was then this old man (may be in his 70’s) gave a pat on my shoulder. He smiled at me and showed me these leaves brightly lit by all beautiful morning light, and said, “I think you should try on them". Looking at these leaves I was like "WOW, Thanku Sir" with all smiles.
By the time I finished clicking and turned back, he was far away from me, fast completing his morning walk routine : )
>>It was only a sunny smile and little it cost in the giving but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.

She is the hider. NOT the seeker. During our walk i told her to go hide so Lola could find her, and this is her interpretation. To be a 2 year old. :)
Another from my first attempt at RAW in CS2, enjoying it. I used a bit of vignetting in this one too, more obvious here.
So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. - Genesis 3:14
I was in dire need of a photo-shoot. So we (Amanda and I) decided that I've never taking a picture of my snake, Valentine. He has a small heart shape on the top of his head hence his name.
He is an Albino Corn Snake, The snake isn't poisonous, and he doesn't have sharp teeth. He eats dead mice about once every ten days.

Comment:
Between 6th and 7th Street there is a small area that is infested with drug dealers and gang members. I was told many times not to walk in that area. You think I listened? Well, whilst in that area I came across this man. He has caused quite a commotion amongst you. It was a hot day…brilliant sunshine but he was sat in the shade….back resting against a wall. I approached and asked if he minded me sitting next to him for a while. He said no…so I parked my ass down on the curbside. He asked me what I was doing with my cameras and I explained I was a crazy Englishman who didn’t value his life. He laughed of course, which was beautiful to see because I have never seen a face as sad in all my life. I gave him a cigarette. In fact I gave him the whole pack. I went on to explain how I took pictures of homeless people and shared them online. He smiled again. I wondered what I said that was so funny. He went on to explain that there are MANY photographers who go down to that area but in the majority of cases they hang their lenses out of the car window and never get out. “That’s fucking wrong” he retorted. I nodded my head and asked would he mind me taking his picture. “Of course not…you asked” he replied.
We talked some more. Mostly about shit that doesn’t matter but for those few hours or so…it kinda did….you know….
Shot with my very nifty 50mm F1.4. Has to be the best lens purchase I have ever made.
The difference between whether you say, 'I wish I would have,' or 'I'm glad I did,' at the end of your life is whether or not you take DECISIVE ACTION during your life.
