About the photo :
This is the vege plot I passed by in upper part of Valencia .
Here's a little description of Valencia :
"Valencia is a ... municipality in the province of Negros Oriental, Philippines. It is located 9.4 kilometre west of Dumaguete...."
"Valencia was originally named Ermita, which means "a secluded place", due to its being a refuge from marauding Muslim pirates. In 1856 it was renamed to Nueva Valencia by Spanish colonizers, in honor of its parish priest Fr. Matias Villamayor from Valencia, Spain.
In 1920 it was renamed Luzuriaga in behalf of Don Carlos Luzuriaga, a delegate from Negros island to the Philippine Legislature who promised town officials he would work hard to help improve the town. The town was renamed Valencia in 1948, by virtue of Republic Act No. 252. "

I love gardening ,and find Valencia area good for this sort of interests . It's easy to grow patchoi or Petchay, brocolli ,cabbages , brussel sprouts, cauliflower ,carrots and many types of veges and flowers here . The temp is a little cooler from lowland .
If only peace would stretch another hundred years ,yet with the current crisis looming :population explosion the inevitable food shortage ,animals dying for some unknown reasons ,Our population has gone past the 7 billion mark ,you see the middleast conflict escalating /world terrorism , upheaval ,social moral decay ,spritual confusion and deception , the rise of occult teachings and growing tolerance towards darkness ; evil perceive as good ,abortions in millions -- can you ever think of a bright safe future ahead. Perhaps I'm only pessimistic ,but I like to look at real trends / knock on effects and what we see everywhere are tell tale signs of what's in store for the future ... the future doesn't look bright .
Thinking of retirement - I have to be honest , right now my gut feelings seem strongly on a negative line .
Before I'll reach The point of retirement big global changes could happen and this isn't for the better , 20 yrs seem too long .Big changes could happen anytime soon ,the markers are right at the door ,you can see them in God's manual ,the Bible. .I strongly feel there's no retirement for me here . I wish not to say this in the open ,because I knew many of you are kind and polite and not to say the word "crazy" to me projecting doom and gloom - if you know that feeling. I'm in a battle of denial sometimes .But I find ihard to deny it and shut myself to silence .If you hate doomsday topics ,please avoid reading my posts . You can look at the photo but don't read it :) It does't contribute any good if you feel depressed .I will understand ,no offense . But I do encourage you to be aware of the possibilities .Update yourself ,not just the mainstream news but from the alternative sources ,as many events happening that were not reported or has only very little coverage. Regardless of these doon and gloom events,I am not depressed .I am not sad , I am not scared ,because the true peace of God is keeping me assured. It's so hard to explain it. The truth is I'm awestruck ! I'm part of the generation to see these things and the wonders of God to be seen in these last days as we know it .
As a christian , there's no place of depression in ones life ,that's true for me . If you you are away from faith ,then then can be so scary ! I always trust God for everything . My husband is hopeful thinking to retire someday- living in the Philippines .Most of us have dreams ,it nice to dream on . I don't want to spoil his hopes this time and the future .But I always try my best to make him aware of what is to come . However big the scale is , even when I am gone ( in case I might go ahead of him )he should be prepared and never loose hope ,to trust in Jesus in everything ,even to the last breathe .We bought adjacent plots here in 2004 and 2005, so we could be closely living near the city of Dumaguete, thinking of a future someday after retirement .However ,this seem blurry to me . I always hope I'm wrong with my projections . But I also think we should be prepared mentally and also our emotions as we are seeing the future unfold . It's likely a different kind of scary movie .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<<~~~~@
Just for correction , am not ill , but you never know of life . I always think what the next day is ,will I still be here nxt day ,nxt week ,nxt month ?
I have seen people go - which gave me some perspective how precious life is , as life is like a bubble . I'm trying my best to have my day less complicated and relaxed as I can make it ,just in case it's my last day.
I have an accident in the past that could have cost my life and don't have any idea it could happen to me .I could have died on the spot . It changed my attitude and perspectives since that . I count everyday as blessing , another day might be different . Not the least to say ,I like to leave the day with a clean heart and conscience with God . I'm not perfect .I do make mistakes though how much I tried not to .But one thing, I don't stay / waddle with the same mistakes over and over again. I always pursue spiritual cleanliness through Christ ,and there is no room of guilt and self condemnation ,a room for secret sin to dwell in me . The love and salvation through Christs is a redeeming grace takes it all , we have to give our burdens to Jesus by simply repenting ,letting it all go and let Jesus' love and peace change our hearts to purity .Without the saving grace of Jesus ,we can't do nothing ,we are still same ol' filthy rags even though how good we think we are .
This white marble portrait head of a woman has detachable black marble hair. These types of portraits were written about in antiquity - it made changing out hairstyles to reflect the current styles easier than re-carving an entire bust or statue.
The head is possibly Annia Aurelia Galeria Lucilla (148 or 150 – 182 CE), daughter of Marcus Aurelius, sister of Commodus, and wife of the co-emperor Lucius Verus (who was also the adoptive brother of her father, with whom he shared rule over the Roman empire). When she was involved in a bungled plot to assassinate her unstable brother, who had ascended to the throne after their father's death, she and her daughter were exiled to the island of Capri. Within the year, Commodus sent a centurion to the island to execute them both. In 1964, Sophia Loren portrayed Lucilla in the movie 'The Fall of the Roman Empire'; in the 2000 movie 'Gladiator', Lucilla is portrayed by Connie Nielson.
The bust (torso) is modern, probably 18th century. It's composed of two differently colored types of striated alabaster, where dozens of pieces have been attached and carved into the folds of her palla (cloak) and tunic). The alabaster might be spolia from an ancient tomb or civic building (not sure a good trade in exotic alabaster had resumed by the 18th c.).
This portrait bust was gifted by Pope Benedict XIV to the newly public Musei Capitolini (Capitoline Museums) in 1750, as you can see written on its socle (base).

ca. 150-160 CE (the Capitoline also uses a 160-180 CE date)

Even in winter, the east wind gusting, I like to be on the plot, thinking about the ground and what it will grow.

MOUNT LAGUNA, Calif. (March 17, 2009) Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/s) candidate Seaman Jared Hougtalen plots coordinates to his next checkpoint during an individual basic land navigation exercise. Basic land navigation teaches candidates how to read a map, plot coordinates and navigate over various types of terrains. This training is taught during the third phase of the six-month BUD/s training. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Dominique M. Lasco/Released)

PhaseOne 645DF and IQ180 with V-Grip Air and Mamiya 210mm f/4...absolutely love this lens.
Strobist: SB-900's right and left with shoot through umbrellas (41") at varying speeds (Camera left 1/1 power and camera right 1/2 to 1/4 power), trigged wired (Thanks to ZebraFlash) so it could be used with Nikon and PhaseOne seamlessly.
Empty plots like the one in this shot are somewhat abundant in the 'old town', right at the centre of Valencia. This is the other face of the city, hidden in the official propaganda brochures, a face, however, the startled tourist takes no time at all to discover.
(Incidentally, the graffiti artwork is splendid; best seen large)
It once dawned on me (a few years back) that the only way to keep the mind going more or less fine in this particular place I happen to live is not to take the place seriously. The only way to get along and not to lose one's marbles is to realize and to firmly believe that nothing ever happening here matters. How could one otherwise avoid going mental in a place where people drive as if playing a video game, cars are raucous, four-wheeled loudspeakers (and a few are periodically burned every weekend just for the fun of it), traffic-lights are useless, colourful street ornaments (some people flippantly claim there's a hidden code associated with the colours though its meaning remains utterly unknown), zebra-crossings are parking places (a property also shared by bike trails and wheelchair ramps formerly designed to ease the handicapped daily struggle around the city), lifts are smoking rooms, litter bins are largely neglected (and the few days they receive attention, which accurately match traditional festivities, it is to be either detached from the locations they hang on - traffic-lights, walls or lamp-posts; as part of their ornamental accessories, so to speak - burned, or both), youngsters are more and more aggressive each day - and at increasingly earlier ages - smoking pot is the number one activity among teenagers to the point that its massive use seems to them absolutely essential to make the world go round, football matches (everything football in fact) are TV screen savers, good manners and education are utopias, noise is our everyday's companion (and taken for granted), rubbish carpets the pavement, local television is disgusting - to say the least (reality shows and sensationalist journalism devoted to air all sort of pathetic gossip columns play the role of educational programs whose aim is to enhance dormant feelings such as self-confidence, solidarity or freedom while achieving in the process a non-negligible standardization of the language skills and cultural level), politicians don't often measure up, and the identity of the native language seems condemned to be a recurrent issue forever and ever, to give but a few examples?
A candidate plots points on a map he must find at a night land navigation course during the Expert Field Medical Badge competition in Grafenwoehr, Germany, Sept. 8. Before the EFMB candidates take the actual testing they all must go through the standardization phase. During this portion the service members are taught what they must do at each of the different lanes so they understand what to expect before the actual testing phase. Passing rates for the badge range from 5-25 percent of candidates, making the EFMB a distinctive mark in a Soldier's records. About us: U.S. Army Europe is uniquely positioned to advance American strategic interests across Eurasia and has unparalleled capability to prevent conflict, shape the environment and, if necessary, win decisively. The relationships we build during 1000 theater security cooperation events in more than 40 countries each year lead directly to support for multinational contingency operations around the world, strengthen regional partnerships, and enhance global security.

Plotter sketches for a new series. Studio Mode graciously let me use their CNC cutter to do these.
These particular ones are a revisit of the Ornament pieces I did for Darkness Descends. They're not intended for final production since I already have a good format for that series.
The Roland DXY-990 plotter with an "op-art" plot. The program that generated the plot is in C, and is based on a version in BASIC that was published in Personal Computer World in the early 1980s.

the life of an indoor cat
always wanting to get out
but when she gets out?
many times
she gets scared and runs back in
where she knows it's safe

Sgt. Jeffrey Szelewicki, assigned to 173rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), plots points on a map during the Close Combat Attack lane portion of U.S. Army Europe's Best Warrior Competition in Grafenwoehr, Germany, Aug. 21. The competition is a weeklong event that tests Soldiers’ physical stamina, leadership and technical knowledge and skill. Winners in the Soldier and Noncommissioned Officer categories of the USAREUR competition will go on to compete at the Department of the Army level. (U.S. Army photo by Gertrud Zach)
This plot shows the data from the skysensor device measuring the all sky brightness in the range from full daylight to deep-sky. The local time runs from left to right, the day from bottom to top. Black points represent datagaps. You might notice the sinusodial shape, which can be explained by the equation of time. Midnight is on the left, noon is in the middle of this plot. The data from January and February seems to be darker, this could have been caused by snow-coverage of the sensor.
