I feel totally disconnected from these photographs I've been doing. Aside from the one of my feet in the bathtub from last week, I don't feel like I'm putting anything at all into my art. I want to take it to the next level, take photos with conviction and have them mean something to me and make writings to go along with them. Having trouble expressing myself since I know a lot of my family looks at my photo stream. Those of you that make risque and/or emotional work, how do you deal with not censoring yourself...how can we over the hurdle of judgment from people who may not appreciate or understand work we make?

Minsk is one of the oldest towns in Eastern Europe. First mention was in 1067 as a town of the Duchy of Polock. Minsk is now the capital and largest city in Belarus, situated on the Svislach and Niamiha rivers. It has stood for over 900 years. However most of Minsk has been rebuilt after it was reduced to rubble by the Nazi's during World War II.
The historical centre was replaced in the 1940s and 1950s by Stalinist architecture, which favoured grand buildings, broad avenues and wide squares. All the buildings of Minsk downtown were created in different years. But all of them are unified in architecture composition. Minsk is reminiscent of the Soviet era with its prominent KGB building, and Soviet images and symbols lining its streets.

Today wasn't my best day ever.
It started with a disappointment because I maybe have to wait another 2 weeks before my flashlights will be send to me, but when I called the company they were really rude and told me some lies to believe. I hate it when people don't take me serious and try to fool me like I am some stupid blondie.
So I was a little pissed when I got off the phone.
An hour later my son came up to me in panic because there was a policeman at the frontdoor. My neighbours have been complaining again for nothing, so I made him clear that this will be last time they annnoyed me, because after 10 years of bullying I am at the end of my patience.
I used my agression for inspiration:
Be prepared to meet my Evil side.
(No neighbours were injured in this shot.)

Casa de Campo de Madrid (Spain)
La Casa de Campo fue propiedad histórica de la Corona Española y coto de caza de la realeza. Tras la proclamación de la Segunda República, fue cedida por el Estado al pueblo de Madrid (1 de mayo de 1931), estando desde entonces abierta al público.
En su interior se encuentran situadas diversas instalaciones, como el Parque de Atracciones, el Zoológico, el Teleférico (que conecta la Casa de Campo con el Parque del Oeste, al otro lado del río Manzanares), parte de los recintos feriales de IFEMA (Institución Ferial de Madrid), el pabellón multiusos Madrid Arena, la Venta del Batán (lugar tradicional de encierro de los toros en los días previos a su lidia en la Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas) y diferentes instalaciones deportivas populares.

From the first annual Fashion Trashion show put on by the Studio Art program at University of Minnesota, Morris. The students in the beginning art classes designed and constructed outfits out of trash and recycled materials, and then put on a full runway show with judges, jokes, and way too much fun. They had an enormous SRO turnout - far larger than anyone expected. It was a great end to the day of the Undergraduate Research Symposium day - a wonderful dessert at the end of a rich and varied meal.
Jess Larson asked me to take photos at the event, and in the end I took well over 1,000 photos. As of today (19 August 2009), I've managed to go through the first half and sift out the obviously broken ones. Siobhan Bremer asked if I could jump ahead and sift through the photos of the Dasani "wedding" dress since she'd like to use that in a project. Hence this little set.
UMM folks should feel free to use these however they see fit. It would be nice to know when they're being used, however. Thanks.
Thanks to everyone involved for putting on a really tremendous show!

La Catedral de Morelia es un recinto religioso sede de la Arquidiócesis de Morelia de la Iglesia católica en México. Se encuentra ubicada como su nombre propiamente lo dice en la ciudad de Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán, México. La catedral se localiza en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, conformando la traza del Centro Histórico de Morelia. El edificio fue construido en el siglo XVIII en la época de la Colonia Española, es de estilo barroco y esta realizado en cantera rosada que le da un color peculiar y característico.
# Arquitectónicamente la Catedral de Morelia comparándose con otras Catedrales de México, es similar a la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, Catedral de Puebla, e inclusive en su interior a la Catedral de Guadalajara.
# La catedral es la edificación más emblemática y representativa de Morelia dada su altura, ya que cuenta con dos altas torres, que se divisan por todo el valle de la ciudad. Por su altura, las torres de la Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) son las cuartas más altas de México, después de las torres del Santuario Guadalupano (Catedral Inconclusa) en Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m), de la catedral de Villahermosa (80 m) y del Santuario de Guadalupe, en San Luis Potosí (68 m).
# Cuenta con una Iluminación escénica de singular belleza colocada por la empresa que iluminó la Torre Eiffel de París. Los fines de semana la catedral ofrece un espectáculo de luz y sonido con esta iluminación.
# La catedral está dedicada a la Transfiguración y en su interior alberga dos imágenes muy veneradas, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús que es el santo patrono de la ciudad, y el Señor de la Sacristía un Cristo muy antiguo realizado en pasta de caña de maíz. El cual es muy visitado y querido por la feligresía.
# Su belleza arquitectónica y su historia son otras razones por las cuales se ha convertido en un icono de la ciudad.
# En su interior este recinto dada su belleza, sonorización acústica y espaciosidad, figura como escenario de diversos eventos artísticos y culturales como el Festival Internacional de Órgano de Morelia, y el Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia.
La actual catedral de Morelia no ha sido la única catedral que ha tenido la ciudad, ya que en 1580, cuando los poderes civiles y eclesiásticos de Michoacán fueron trasladados de Pátzcuaro a Valladolid (anterior nombre de Morelia), se inauguró una catedral, muy inferior a la actual en tamaño y valor artístico. Esa construcción se ubicaba en la esquina de las actuales calles de Corregidora y Abasolo. Sin embargo, debido al crecimiento que experimentó la ciudad a finales del s. XVI e inicios del XVII, así como por causa de un incendio que en 1584 afectó severamente el anterior edificio catedralicio, se hizo necesario pensar en otro templo, más grande, sólido e importante. Por ello es que a inicios del s. XVII el cabildo catedralicio comenzó las gestiones para la construcción de la nueva catedral.
Muchos proyectos fueron propuestos, pero hasta mediados de ese siglo fue aceptado el proyecto del arquitecto italiano Vicenzo Barrochio, también conocido como Vicente Barroso de la Escayola por parte del Virrey Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque el 22 de marzo de 1660 concluyendo continuos trámites y proyectos de construcción durante un largo período de casi 80 años.
El día 6 de mayo de 1660 la primera piedra de la construcción fue colocada por el obispo Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. La construcción estuvo a cargo del propio Vicenzo Barrochio hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en 1692, razón por la cual el gran arquitecto no pudo ver concluida su obra monumental. Sin embargo, solo 52 años después del deceso del maestro, sus discípulos lograron terminar la titánica tarea arquitectónica, por lo que la magnífica obra fue concluida en 1744.
La catedral sufrió diversos saqueos por parte del ejército independentista, en el año de 1810. Hacia fines del siglo XIX se construyó la reja perimetral que delimita el atrio. A finales de los años 90 del siglo XX se efectuaron diversas obras de restauración exteriores e interiores, con lo cual se preservó mejor la belleza del edificio. También, en los primeros años del siglo XXI, se inauguró la nueva iluminación escénica de esta catedral de Morelia.
The Cathedral of Morelia is a religious compound headquarters of the Archdiocese of Morelia of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is located as the name itself says it in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico. The cathedral is located on the first frame of the city, forming the trace of the Historic Center of Morelia. The building was built in the eighteenth century the Spanish colonial times, is in Baroque style and is made of pink quarry which gives it a distinctive and characteristic color.
# Architecturally, the Cathedral of Morelia compared against other Cathedrals in Mexico is similar to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, Puebla Cathedral, and even inside the Cathedral of Guadalajara.
# The cathedral is the most emblematic and representative buildings of Morelia given their height, since it has two tall towers that can be seen throughout the valley of the city. For his height, the towers of the Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) are the fourth highest in Mexico after the towers of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Cathedral Unfinished) in Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m) of the cathedral in Villahermosa (80 m) and the Sanctuary of Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi (68 m).
# Has a unique scenic beauty lighting placed by the company that lit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. On weekends, the cathedral offers a sound and light show with this lighting.
# The cathedral is dedicated to the Transfiguration and its interior houses two highly venerated image, Sacred Heart of Jesus who is the patron saint of the city, and the Lord of the Sacristy a Christ very old paste made of cornstalks. Which is much visited and loved by the congregation.
# Its beautiful architecture and history are other reasons why it has become an icon of the city.
# Inside this enclosure because of its beauty, sound and spacious sound, set for a variety of artistic and cultural events as the International Organ Festival in Morelia, and the International Music Festival of Morelia.
The current cathedral of Morelia was not the only cathedral in the city has had since 1580, when civil and ecclesiastical powers were transferred from Patzcuaro Michoacan to Valladolid (Morelia previous name), opened a cathedral, much lower the current size and artistic value. That building was located on the corner of the present streets of Corregidor and Abasolo. However, due to growth experienced by the city at the end of s. Sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and because of a fire in 1584 severely affected the former cathedral building, it became necessary to think of another temple, larger, robust and important. That is why at the beginning of s. XVII the cathedral chapter began efforts to build the new cathedral.
Many projects were proposed, but until mid-century the project was accepted by the Italian architect Vincenzo Barrochio, also known as the Plaster Vicente Barroso by the Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of Albuquerque on March 22, 1660 concluding continuous procedures and construction projects over a long period of almost 80 years.
On May 6, 1660 the first stone of the building was laid by Bishop Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. The building itself was given by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, why the great architect could not see completed his monumental work. However, only 52 years after the death of the teacher, his pupils got through the daunting task of architecture, so that the magnificent work was completed in 1744.
The cathedral suffered several raids by the army for independence, in the year 1810. By the end of the nineteenth century built the perimeter fence that marks the atrium. In the late 90s of the twentieth century restoration work carried out various internal and external, thereby better preserved the beauty of the building. Also, in the early twenty-first century, opened the new stage lighting of the cathedral of Morelia.

Minchinbury takes its name from the property named by Capt. William Minchin who was granted 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) here in 1819. William Minchin was the Principal Superintendent of Police and Treasurer of the Police Fund in the colony. After the death of William in 1821, the property passed to his only daughter Maria Matilda. In 1838, Maria Matilda and her family were lost at sea, leaving no descendants of William Minchin alive.
Dr. Charles McKay purchased the property in 1859 and developed it into vineyards and cellars. Over the next 2 decades, Dr. McKay bought many neighbouring properties and in 1881, he put all of his land up for auction. At this time, the land did not sell and it wasn't until 1895 that James Angus bought all of McKay's properties.
Penfolds Pty. Ltd. purchased the winery and vineyards in 1912. Most of the existing buildings at the winery were probably added while under the ownership of Penfolds. In 1898, during Angus' winemaking years, the vineyards suffered a viral disease that destroyed the vines. New vines were planted and grew until 1962 when soil erosion made them useless. New vineyards were established on other properties around the area to supply the fruit for the winery. Minchinbury Winery became famous for its champagne. Penfolds stopped operations at the winery in 1978

World War I, a.k.a. First World War -
The Great War
"The War to End All Wars"
It was a total war which left millions dead and helped to shape the modern world.
At 11:00am on November 11, 1918 —
eleventh hour
eleventh day
eleventh month —
A ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae
The poem "In Flanders Fields" by the Canadian army physician John McCrae remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915.
"This poem was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the second battle of Ypres. My headquarters were in a trench on the top of the bank of the Ypres Canal, and John had his dressing station in a hole dug in the foot of the bank. During periods in the battle men who were shot actually rolled down the bank into his dressing station.
Along from us a few hundred yards was the headquarters of a regiment, and many times during the sixteen days of battle, he and I watched them burying their dead whenever there was a lull. Thus the crosses, row on row, grew into a good-sized cemetery.
Just as he describes, we often heard in the mornings the larks singing high in the air, between the crash of the shell and the reports of the guns in the battery just beside us.
I have a letter from him in which he mentions having written the poem to pass away the time between the arrival of batches of wounded, and partly as an experiment with several varieties of poetic metre." Lieutenant Colonel Edward Morrison

Thousands demonstrated on Friday in Tahrir Square, demanding public trial of Mubarak, his interior ministry Habib el-Adly, and other regime figures.
The square and the surrounding streets since early morning have been emptied from all police and military presence. Most of the established political forces, most notably the Muslim Brothers, did not take part in the demonstrations.
The families of the martyrs were present, and demanded speedy trials of the police murderers, as it's becoming clear day by day that they will get away with what they did. More shockingly, most police officers who are currently undergoing trial still hold their positions (or have been promoted)! Demonstrators also denounced the brutal police crackdown on the protests in the square on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Protesters marched, in solidarity with the detainees, by 4pm on the ministerial cabinet headquarters and the interior ministry. Policemen from inside the interior ministry's compound threw rocks and were making provocative gestures with their hands. Protesters responded by rocks and a shower of insults and chants against both the military and the police.
I've heard very strong chants, demanding the execution of Mubarak, Adly and Field Marshal Tantawi. While some are staging a sit in at the moment, others will resume protesting on Saturday, in the run up to the mass protests planned next Friday 8 July.
About the Shot
Usually when I visit the zoo, the baboons are frolicking up the back of their sizeable enclosure, too far away for my 200mm to reach. This time, I arrived at the viewing window to find a huge crowd of people gathered. I waited patiently for a couple of minutes then pushed to the front to be greeted with this lovely sight. Two of the zoo's newest babies right down the front. I'm going to guess that the wee one with the grass in his mouth is Chandu. He was more confident than the other one. Within minutes the youngsters were scooped up and carried away so I got there just at the right time.

About the Baboon Babies
Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed the first of its spring arrivals in the form of three baby gelada baboons. The new additions, which are the first gelada babies to be born at the Zoo, have been named Chandu, Chibale and Chiku. Chandu, who was the first to arrive on 10 February, is the only one to be sexed so far and is a boy. Chibale, whose name means kinship, followed on 6 March and Chiku, whose name means chatter, finally arrived on 10 March. The names for the three baboons have been chosen by their keepers to reflect the Ethiopian origin of this species.
Gelada baboons have only been part of the animal collection since 2007 when a group of seven arrived from Rheine Zoo in Germany. In 2008 the Zoo received a male called Malachi from Colchester Zoo who is father to all three babies.
Gelada baboons live in the Ethiopian Highlands. They live in large troops, led by one dominant male, with younger males, females and infants of all ages making up the rest of the group. They are currently in danger of extinction due to the expansion of the local human population. Not only do they have to compete for land but they are also targeted by farmers who suspect them of crop-raiding.
Georgina Cook, one of the Primate Keepers at Edinburgh Zoo, said:
“We’re really happy that our gelada group have bred successfully as it means that they have settled in really well. The youngsters have already started exploring the enclosure on their own and we’re sure they will prove to be very popular with visitors.”

These men are searching eggs from the megapode birds in the deep ashes.
Hier zien we de mannen die elke dag eieren zoeken in de as aan de voet van de vulkaan. Rondom zie je overal heel diepe putten. Daar zitten de eieren van de megapode vogels in verscholen. De ideale plaats voor die vogels om hun eieren veilig te laten uitbroeden in de warmte van de as. Eens uitgebroed kunnen de vogeltjes op eigen kracht naar boven klauteren. De eieren zijn heel lekker en worden duur verhandeld.
Het is een heuse karwei, de as is heel bloemzacht, ikzelf ben van een boordje geschoven in de put met de camera in de hand. Gelukkig is alles heerlijk zacht, maar de camera haat dit en ikzelf zat behoorlijk onder de as!
Leven onder de as van de vulkaan, dag in, dag uit... alle hotels zijn leeg en verwoest. De stad lijkt heel hallucinant. Ook de huizen zitten onder de as. Nog één hotel blijft met staats-steun open voor de enkele verdwaalde toeristen. De lokale bevolking is erg uitgedund. Alleen heel arme mensen zijn genoodzaakt om te blijven wonen. Aan ons hotel is er elke dag een ploeg paraat om de as weg te scheppen, een heel ongezond werk. De as is heel zacht en voelt aan als losse zachte poeder. Er valt voortdurend as uit de lucht en na enkele uren zit je onder het stof. Veel mensen lopen voortdurend met een masker voor de mond, om de longen te beschermen. De rode tong en tanden bij veel mensen wordt veroorzaakt door het kauwen van 'betelnut'. Een mengsel van mosterdzaadjes, kalk en beetlenoot.
De Tavurvur is een actieve stratovulkaan nabij de Papoea-Nieuw-Guineaanse stad Rabaul op de noordoostelijke punt van het eiland Nieuw-Brittannië. Het vormt het meest actieve onderdeel de Rabaulcaldera (8 bij 14 km), waarbinnen het gelegen is aan de oostelijke rand. De vulkaan is binnen de stad Rabaul berucht om de vele verwoestende uitbarstingen.

Megapodes do not incubate their eggs with their body heat as other birds do, but bury them. Their eggs are unique in having a large yolk, making up 50-70% of the egg weight.[2] They are best known for building massive nest-mounds of decaying vegetation, which the male attends, adding or removing litter to regulate the internal heat while the eggs hatch. However, some bury their eggs in other ways: there are burrow-nesters which use geothermal heat, and others which simply rely on the heat of the sun warming sand.

The southern portion of the Aeolian Islands north of Sicily was shaken by a magnitude 4.5 (later corrected to 4.6) earthquake in the early afternoon of 16 August 2010. It seems that the quake caused slight material damage, landslides on Lipari and maybe also on Vulcano islands, and there are reports of several people injured. [Later reports speak of nobody injured.]
Addendum, 16 August 2010, 17.25 h (local time) - the number of people injured is now given as 7 [it seems these are all people who jumped from beaches into the sea to escape from falling rocks, and were stung by medusae]; online news resouces start showing impressive images of landslides creating dust clouds - and I think thendoking's brief comment below is more graphic than one thousand images ...
The Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) is a member of the passerine bird family Hirundinidae — the swallows and martins.
It breeds in North America and Mexico, and is migratory, wintering in western South America from Venezuela southwards to northeast Argentina. This species is a very rare vagrant to western Europe.
This bird averages 13 cm (5 inches) long with a tiny bill. The adult has an iridescent blue back and crown, brown wings and tail, and buff rump. The nape and forehead are white. The underparts are white except for a red face. The tail is square-ended.
Young birds are essentially brown above and whitish below, except for the buff rump and dark face.
The only confusion species is the closely related Cave Swallow, which is richer in colour and has a cinnamon rump and forehead.

Slap me in the face, kick me in the nuts....whatever you like....It's true, I've been away for too long....haven't been uploading photos for ages. It's all true and I guess you, the regular visitors to my stream, have grown old, or got married, doing the dishes forever, kissing the milkman on purpose and totally forgot about me. And you are all so right to do so...but I had reasons...I sincerely apologize lady & gentlemen!! I've been so bloody busy for the last two, three months on film projects I simply didn't find the time to sort out good photos and enhance them for the internet and my Flickr stream.
Nuff said, currently I am in Amman, Jordan, working as a 1st camera assistant on a documentary, directed by Mahmoud al Massad. I left The Netherlands October 12th and I'll be working here until approx November 16th.
But since everyone's thinking I sort of vanished, went to jail or went out for vacuum cleaning the surface of Mars: I took one photo with me to Amman to upload to keep you happy in the mean time, including myself. This photo was taken a while ago and it always makes me happy... So for now, I'll leave you with this photo and as soon I am back I'll try update my photostream more regularly!!
Below in the comments you'll find some brief information (as taken from my MySpace blog) and a plot outline on " This is my picture when I was dead", as the film is been titled.
Oh, and don't worry, I am doing very well, working my ass off here in Jordan, but it's all worth it and the production is going good thus far!
So, gently I ask you as you watch the picture above:
CRACK A SMILE! (and just be happy ffs ;)
Take care,
Richard.

This is the same "thing" as seen in my Bunker Hilltop Sunset Photo, just seen from a different angle. I'm still not sure what this is. I think it's a siren or some kind of alarm.
I know the whole name thing is a bit overdone but I'm just trying some new things. Oh and this is a 3 exp hdr in photomatix. Then in photoshop I used a bit of digital blending on the sky to get rid of some 'Halo'ing around the siren and clouds.

This is the music room of the Amasya Darul-sifa which was a clinic and a hospital that was built in 1308-1309 (after the time of Selcuks, before Ottoman period)and may have been the first place to try to treat mental disorders with music and by using flowing water on the walls of the structure....They believed sound of water was healing for the mind...That made a lot of sense to me as I was sitting in the room and listening the "Ney" class...The acoustics were incredible..
I wanted to show you how amaising this room is ..so I decided to upload this full scale...Please either view it original (which is HUUUGE) and study the instruments of the Ottoman era or view it large in black..You will be amaised at the details..I promise!!
