Listening Gothan Project - Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)
S: secondo me lui è stato all'altezza
me: dici?
S: sì, lo vedevo ben concentrato
me: appunto
aveva paura di sbagliare
S: uhm
me: anch'io avrei avuto paura...lei ha una faccia!
S: giusta osservazione
tu dici che dovrebbe venire più naturale, senza pensare?
me: sì, perchè se hai paura di un ostacolo stai sicuro che ci finisci irrimediabilmente dentro
S: uno psicologo una volta mi diceva che è proprio così
quando pensi adesso cado
cadi
me: già...è così.
S: e allora lei non dovrebbe avere il dito alzato
me: perchè?
S: perché parte dal presupposto di dover mettere sull'avviso, di guardare dal di fuori, in un certo di pre-giudicare
stai attento che cadi
e lui cade
me: già
se lo aspetta
S: caspita, troppo dramma dietro questa foto
me: il tango è dramma
S: ma anche passione
me: sì
S: e non chiuderei il sillogismo dicendo
passione = dramma
me: no
quello no
S: meno male
camminano fianco a fianco
forse è lì il problema
me: ?
S: se è dramma ma anche passione, vuol dire che i due sono vicini, si sfiorano e magari alla fine si toccano
non necessariamente
me: capito
S: insomma, adesso uno dei due deve dire una cosa che fa ridere!
me: ci pensi tu?
S:
oppure forse c'è un'altra soluzione per quel dito alzato
lei lo sa che lui sbaglia
lui lo fa quasi sempre, nonostante lei ogni volta alzi il dito
e lui si concentra ogni volta di più
ma non c'è niente da fare
succede
eppure lei ogni volta fa finta di arrabbiarsi, ma col sorriso
me: caspita!
S: anzi, quasi se lo aspetta quell'errore
tanto che se lui non lo facesse, lo guarderebbe quasi in modo diverso
ogni volta che tornano a ballare è come quella prima volta che lui ha invitato lei sebbene sapesse di non essere tanto bravo nel tango e lei quella volta, la prima, si era commossa
perchè aveva capito che sforzo gli era costato
mettersi in gioco pur sapendo di non essere bravissimo
solo per cercare di starle vicino
e a lei proprio quella cosa le era rimasta impressa
quella specie di piccolo fallimento orgoglioso
è così che poi si sono messi insieme, dopo
sudati e lui che aveva uno sguardo che tirava un po' di lato
consapevole del fallimento, ma senza abbassare del tutto gli occhi
e allora dopo uscendo, nel buio
si erano baciati."
Bon NAdal i pròsper 2010!!!
Merry Christmas and prosperous 2010!
Feliz Navidad y próspero 2010!
THE NAME OF CHRISTMAS
Under the name of Christmas
I feel something
I do not know exactly how I have to say.
It makes me think of a new land
where peace and love do not stop blooming ...
And no matter if the star was born
and points to the path
three kings from the East, crossing the sky ...
And it does not matter,
know if many shepherds were
carrying cheese and honey in the stable ...
And it does not matter,
see hanging rich brightness
here and there,
shown in joy ...
I feel that there is a big thing at the bottom of everything.
To define the word can not find any!
It must be a force to achieve
that there is on earth
any country without love
no home without bread!
The sweet name of Christmas gives us clues ...
If the power exists,
we must find!

EL NOMBRE DE NAVIDAD
Bajo el nombre de Navidad
siento algo
que yo no sé muy bien cómo tengo que decir.
Me hace pensar en una tierra nueva
donde paz y amor no paran de florecer ...
Y no importa, si surgió la estrella
y señala la ruta
a tres reyes de Oriente, cruzando el cielo ...
Y no importa,
saber si eran muchos los pastores
llevando queso y miel al Establecía ...
Y no importa,
ver que cuelgan ricas brillos
aquí y allá,
en muestra de alegría ...
Siento que hay algo grande, al fondo de todo.
Para definirla no encuentro ninguna palabra!
Debe ser una fuerza que conseguiría
que no haya en la tierra
ningún país sin amor
ni ningún hogar sin pan!
El dulce nombre de la Navidad nos da pistas ...
Si la fuerza existe,
debemos encontrar!
Joana Raspall
"Everybody sees it's you
I'm the one lost of you
Everybody says we're through
I hope you hadn't said it too
So where
Do we go from here
With all this fear in our eyes
And where
Can love take us now
We've been so far down
We can still touch the sky
If we crawl
Till we can walk again
Then we'll run
Until we're strong enough to jump
Then we'll fly
Until there is no wind
So lets crawl, crawl, crawl
Back to love, Yeah
Back to love, Yeah."

Olympia Mills, Selby, North Yorkshire was one of the many buildings that stands along Selby Long Reach, a stretch of the River Ouse. In 1992, two of the large animal feed companies merged and became BCOM Pauls. The Selby Port Mill is involved in the crushing of oilseeds to produce vegetable oils for the human food industries and for soap manufacturers. The by-product of this process, the oilseed cake, is a rich source of protein for feeding animals. The site is a massive, sprawling and increasingly derelict one. Some buildings are being demolished, others are fully functional. Dome and cctv cameras are mounted on walls, and active security patrol the site regularly.

This week I cut my bangs. They're really uneven.
I also went to my only sibling's graduation. It was the single most boring thing I've done this month.
Today I spent time with a good friend I haven't seen enough lately. It was nice.
She needs feedback on her photostream, so go here to do that ;)
Random fact: when I was in fourth grade I was told by my orthodontist that if I didn't get braces I would have a Jay Leno jaw. It scarred me for life.

Matthew 6:25-34 (King James Version)
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

201 años dempués de la declaración de soberanía de 1808 Fai! quixo recordar esti 25 de mayu como'l día nacional d'Asturies. Pa ello, entamóse una folixa que cuntó con un recital poéticu, la ellaboración d'un mural y un conciertu con 4 grupos asturianos que punxeron la banda sonora a una xornada reivindicativa pola soberanía popular asturiana.
Más d’un cientu de persones participaron esti sábadu 23 na I Folixa Nacional entamada por Fai! como reivindicación y celebración del Día de la Nación Asturiana, recuerdu de la xornada qu’abre la historia contemporánea d’Asturies, el 25 de mayu de 1808, día de la declaración de soberanía de la Xunta Xeneral.
Doscientos ún años depués d’esti fechu y de la creación de la bandera asturiana, la organización d'esquierda soberanista Fai! quixo ufrir un menú folixeru y combativu nel marcu del CSOA La Reflexón. Abriendo les actividaes, Sergio Gutiérrez Camblor, Carlos Suari, Pablo X. Suárez, Xabel Vegas y Xandru Fernández protagonizaron el recital poéticu “Poetes agresivos (disparen les sos obres contra los que se duermen)”, onde tuvo bien presente, de la mano de los sos versos, la crítica social y la ironía más característica de cinco poetes que representaron na Folixa’l presente y el futuru de la lliteratura nacional, al tiempu que nes paredes se proyectaben imáxenes subversives qu'afalaben l'ambiente combativu del recital.
De siguío, dellos artistes plásticos emprimaben a diseñar un mural que tenía la histórica fras como protagonista: “Asturies enxamás vencida”.
Dientro del CSOA, organización, delles puestos de material y músicos ultimaben tolos detalles pa que dende les siete y media, la música entamara a sonar na I Folixa Nacional con un escenariu enllenu d'asturines y de banderes d'otros pueblos en llucha como les de los Països Catalans, Castiella, el País Llionés, Andalucía, Euskal Herria, Palestina...K-Nalón yera’l grupu encargáu de romper el silenciu col so rap dinamiteru 100% n’asturianu.
Darréu Arma X y 13 Palabras xubíen al escenariu de La Reflexón pa que la revolución de rimes nun aparara.Metanes l'actuación, una pancarta xubió al escenariu pa denunciar la illegalización de les idées y pola derogación de la llei de partíos.
Al finar esta actuación los sones reivindicativos dexaron pasu al actu políticu, onde militantes de Fai! lleeron un manifiestu en favor del 25 de mayu como día nacional d'Asturies. Enantes, un representante del Comité de Sofitu a Iniciativa Internacionalista n'Asturies, que llamentablemente foi la única organización qu'acudió a la llamada que dende Fai! se ficiere a los partíos de la izquierda nacional asturiana pa dicir unes pallabres, agradeció'l convite y presentó la campaña que ta desendolcando'l comité nesti país, a pesar de les torgues y la criminalización que careció y carez esta y otres munches opciones polítiques d'esquierda soberanista nel estáu español.
Na segunda metada del conciertu Vinagre de Sidra abría capítulu pa les guitarres y el rock, que yá na fin de la nueche diba zarrar Gomeru, depués de cinco hores de música dende la trinchera más reivindicativa del país.
Dende Fai! nun queremos que s'escaeza la nuestra historia, la historia d'un pueblu combativu que siempre supo tar a l'altura de les circunstancies. Güei tócanos a nosotres y nosotros, les y los asturianes y asturianos del sieglu XXI siguir na llucha en busca de la soberanía popular d'Asturies.

I've been away from Flickr for a little while. Things got busy at work again, and the part of my brain that is interested in photography sort of switched off. I think that part of my brain is starting to reboot now, so I expect to be returning gradually.
There are numerous other photos of this sign (and of one just like it over by Brightleaf) on Flickr from other Durham-area photographers. Here's mine. The signs have been there for years, so I figure the Brain Repair session probably took place in November 2004.
This was taken back in late February with the Electro 35 GSN. Though there's no evidence of it on this shot, the light seals on that camera were starting to get pretty badly deteriorated, so I decided that in addition to having the light seals replaced I'd treat it to a full CLA. I expect to be getting the camera back in the mail any day now, good as new and ready to produce fine photos for another 40 years or so.

My Stepmom went into surgery on Tuesday and she didn't want me to know about it. So of course it scared the hell out of me. She didn't want me to take off time from work and not be able to go to Florida in September. I think I will hug her first and then strangle her. She is doing ok but this weekend I will be going over to her house to help out. Please send good thoughts her way when you get a moment.
Sorry I really haven't been on much but well life is a little hectic.
I will see you all soon. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend .

The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, better known as the 'Big Mac' Bridge due to its golden yellow arches, connects Interstate 71 in downtown Cincinnati to Kentucky. The bridge is named after the founder of the Boy Scouts, who was born and raised nearby. However, many locals, including traffic reporters, ignore the bridge's official name and instead call it "The Big Mac Bridge".
Right-of-way acquisition for the bridge began in January 1968, and construction began on the Ohio River crossing in November 1971. The still-unnamed bridge opened to limited traffic in September 1976. The name of the new bridge was announced on October 5, 1976, the choice being to name the bridge after Daniel Carter Beard, in honor of the founder of the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts had lobbied hard for the bridge to carry Beard's name, with some paddling down the Ohio and Kentucky rivers to carry petitions to the governor in Frankfort. The Ohio River span and a short section of highway were dedicated on February 14, 1977, with Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown leading the dedication ceremonies.
The bridge is the easternmost of the city's downtown bridge group.
I recently purchased my first lens with VR. I bought it to replace one that I broke. Note to self: don’t let your *#@$&% tripod fall over with your camera on it. Going into further detail would just make me feel like a jackass. Anyway, this is one of my first attempts at shooting handheld using the VR. I’m one of those photographers who has a tripod surgically attached at the hip, so this is a stretch for me. The bumblebees were buzzing around the first open blooms on the bluebells, so I thought I would take a shot at it. I must say, I was fairly impressed. I took several shots, and the bees were in sharp focus in most of them. It was fascinating to watch them as they crawled inside the few bluebell blooms that were completely open.
Jillian Geurts trained in musical theatre and performance with The Fame Theatre Company from 1995-2005. During this time she performed many lead roles in various productions and toured Queensland three times. In 2004, upon discovering Zen Zen Zo's unique brand of physical theatre, she participated in their Youth Physical Actor Training for two years. Jillian was a member of the award-winning St Rita's College Showchoir for three years (2003-05) and in 2005 she won the senior section on the Toombul Time to Shine talent competition. In 2006 she performed in Children of the Black Skirt (St Rita's College) and as the lead role of Dorothy Brock in 42 Street (St Rita's College).
In 2007, Jillian undertook a gap-year in Europe, after which she returned to study film at Queensland University of Technology. Throughout 2008 she continued her training in Zen Zen Zo's adult classes, as well as training and studying Butoh dance-theatre. She worked on the front-of-house team for Zen Zen Zo's In the Raw production Zeitgeist and in late 2008 was accepted into the company's 2009 Internship group.
In March 2009, Jillian worked with Butoh master's Muramatsu Takuya and Yuyama Daiichiro during a three week creative development, culminating in the sold-out performance Gaia - The Dairakudakan Project. From this, she was selected for cast of Zeitgeist touring to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2009 and Adelaide Fringe 2010.
She performed the role of Miranda in Zen Zen Zo's production The Tempest, as well as assisted with the documentary charting the show's creation. In August this year, she will tour to Edinburgh to perform in Zen Zen Zo's tour of Zeitgeist.

E' nata una nuova Creatura Artistica: Filorosso - officina di teatro e delle arti espressive.
Vi aspettiamo per la partenza dei nuovi corsi teatrali e per iniziare insieme questa magnifica avventura artistica :-)
Il teatro è l’unione di tanti fili rossi…
grandi, piccoli…
fili intersecati gli uni negli altri…
fili che hanno vita, che creano movimenti, forme e colori nello spazio….
Il Filorosso nasconde in sé tanti significati …il coraggio, l’azione, la volontà, l’amore, il conflitto, la consapevolezza, l’inconscio, la forza, la rab...bia, la passione, i legami, il contatto, l’energia…
Avvicinarsi al teatro vuol dire andare a cercare, scoprire, guardare quel sottile filo rosso che ognuno di noi ha in sé…
…Filo che tiene unito tutto come mani intrecciate in un girotondo…
The excavations of Pompeii is the only archaeological site in the world, along with that of Herculaneum, capable of returning visitors to a Roman town, whose life has remained firm to a distant morning in 79 AD, an era from which the Vesuvius decided to cancel by earth orbit. The town owes its exceptional state of preservation to the way in which it was buried. Source: www.pompeiturismo.it

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20,000, with a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium and a port. Source: en.wikipedia.org

From the making of a documentary about my collegue and guitarist/guitarbuilder extrordinare Egil Haugland, and his quest for the perfect sound. The film is called "From forest to stage" as he builds his guitars completely from scratch, all the way from selecting and cutting down the tree to the finished product, quite amazing actually. I helped out with some secondary shots, closeups and stills mostly.
They also held a consert in the church, you can see some if here , Egil is the one in the middle.

"Always Tomorrow"
performed/written: Gloria Estefan
I've been alone inside myself far too long
I never really wanted it that way but I let it happen
If I could do it all again
My life would be
Infinitely better than before
I wouldn't waste a moment
Make time for laughing with my friends
Make love make music make amends
Try to make a difference
Try to love
Try to understand
Instead of just giving up
I'd use the power at my command
But there's always tomorrow
To start over again
Things will never stay the same
The only one sure thing is change
That's why there's always tomorrow
I guess it took a little time for me to see
The reason I was born into this world
and what I'd have to go through
Before I finally realize that I could be
Infinitely better than before, definitely stronger
I'll face whatever comes my way
Savor each moment of the day
Love as many people as I can along the way
Help someone who's given up
If its just to raise my eyes and pray
(chorus)
Before your last setting sun
And everything your heart has longed for
Has yet to be won
Yes there's always always always tomorrow
Though people come and they go
But if you've brought some love to their lives
Then you've got something to show
Always tomorrow

This dress is the ugliest dress I have ever bought. I liked the style but hated the pattern. Anyways, when I wore it....my aunt just loved it. I thought it was cute. She said it reminded her of a blouse she made with almost the same pattern. Just thought I'd share that with you.

I photographed this Raccoon (aka: North American Raccoon) in a small pond (alligator hole) at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Naples, Florida. Judging by the abundance of bubbles rising to the surface of the water, there must have been something edible there and this fellow was doing its best to make a meal of it. The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is a wildlife conservation area run by the Audubon Society, a non-profit organization. More information on the sanctuary and the Audubon Society may be obtained at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary web site.

The Luís I Bridge (Ponte Luís I) is a metal arch bridge that spans the Douro River between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal. At the time of construction its span of 172 m was the longest of its type in the world.
The Government held a competition for the construction of a metallic bridge over the Douro River on a site that was adjacent to an existing bridge and would replace it. Teófilo Seyrig had already engineered the D. Maria Pia Bridge project nearby, whilst working as a partner of Eiffel. He now took sole responsibility for the new, major Luís 1st Bridge. The construction was begun in 1881 and the bridge opened on 31 October 1886.
Total length 385.25 m
Weight 3045 tons
The arch measures 172 m in length and 44.6 m in height

Parkinson's disease is a chronic and progressive degenerative disease of the brain that impairs motor control, speech, and other functions.
Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. It is characterized by muscle rigidity, resting tremor, slowing of movement (bradykinesia) and, in extreme cases, nearly complete loss of movement (akinesia). Secondary symptoms include high level cognitive dysfunction, subtle language problems, and depression. Some people with Parkinson’s disease develop Dementia in the late stages of the disease
In contrast to many other neurological disorders, the nature of the brain degeneration that produces Parkinson's disease has been well understood for decades. The symptoms are caused by loss of nerve cells that secrete dopamine in a tiny midbrain area called the substantia nigra. These nerve cells, for reasons that are not fully understood, are especially vulnerable to damage of various sorts, including drugs, disease, and head trauma. The term Parkinsonism is used for any process that destroys large numbers of these cells and thereby causes the same characteristic symptoms. Parkinson's disease, or more fully, idiopathic Parkinson's disease, is diagnosed when no specific physical cause for the loss of dopamine cells can be identified.
My father, Peter, suffers from dementia brought on by Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body disease and Parkinson’s disease. He is not a well man and at the young age of 72 his ability to perform normal tasks most of us take for granted is diminishing. He often suffers from confusion and memory loss but despite that he is still a loving, gentle and intelligent man with a ‘Dad’s’ sense of humour.
Recently, due to an increasing difficulty he has with shaving, he began growing a beard. I love it. After seeing him clean shaven for most of my life I reckon it really suits him. He is quite proud of it himself – and I think he really enjoyed ‘modelling’ for photos despite the fact smiling isn’t easy for him these days.
