I made it to the triple digits! Yay! This is my one hundredth photo for my 365 Project. I hope this shows how I feel about my photos. Each one of them has come from some amazing place inside of me. I'm rejoicing at being able to share a slice of how I see the world with people who actually care and appreciate my efforts! You Flickr Friends I've made have meant everything. I'm sure I wouldn't continue if it weren't for the fun interactions I get rewarded with for even the suckiest photo. :) Thanks guys, for taking time to stop and share the world with me!
For Today's Random Fact from My So-Called Life: To celebrate, I'm taking my tween to the mall. A little bookstore browsing, a little ice cream, a little people watching. It's just what we need! Catch you all later ... and thanks again!
** Wow! ** Explored 13 August 2009 (# 96)! Thank you, everyone! What fun to have a photo I'm really proud of on Explore. :) Now if I can just quit thinking of things I'd like to "fix" in it .... LOL
Yangsho
Guangxi, China
I've fallen in love with the city of Yangshuo, China.
Surrounded by karst peaks and bordered on one side by the Li River, this bustling place has incredible nature, endless bike routes, traditional fishermen, bamboo rafts and plenty of English speaking residents - which is a rarity for China.

Let's Travel the World!
I've spent the past decade exploring our world; and documenting the journey in photos and stories. For all the latest updates, follow along on:

I'm not sad - but it's Sad Bokeh Friday so I photographed the rising sun through the dead branches of the almond tree in our garden. The tree isn't quite dead but it's dying I think ... which is sad.
I've wanted to use this quote for a while - I think it's funny in a bleak way and also quite true - so I chose it today because being out in the garden reminded me of the heroic feat of renewal each of us undertakes daily.
To make it look a little *sadder*, I adjusted colour in photoshop ... Even Sadder On Black

A real experiment in PP this. This is a shot of water from a fine mister spray bottle, two images overlaid, and then 'warped' in Lightroom by applying the lens profile of a fisheye lens to distort and stretch the edges. No end result in mind when I started this was just playing around with some images than were initially just playing with sunlight through the spray.
"I want to write my words on the face of today.
And then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away,
They'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
When life is hard, you have to change".
"Change" by Blind Melon
for VisionDrivenPhotography: this has heavy post-processing..... but it shows my vision (or style) for the photo
Postprocessing of the previously posted picture, but coming back to it after a little while, I'm not sure it is an improvement.
I seem to go a little overboard with the curves when letting alone with Lightroom.

Der Himmel über Berlin (1987) or Wings Of Desire is one of my all-time favourite movies. Directed by Wim Wenders, it is the story of an angel who watches and records the life of the humans, and gradually comes to the decision to become human so he can experience rather than observe life, even with all its pain and suffering. I first saw Wings of Desire about 20 years ago when it screened during the Festival Of Perth, and I was really touched by it; as I get older it means even more to me.
This is another photo of the angel at Fremantle Cemetery. Thanks to
Borealnz, and A Million To One, and Les brumes for their beautiful textures
Happy Monday Blues!
I have fallen to the dark side. I now post-process my photos. It was inevitable.
(Note: This was not taken by me, obviously, as I am in it. It was taken by a friend of mine named Chris Oaten.)
Shot in the Studio4Fun/BoothPhoto booth at the dclic Photo and Video show. I was invited to use the mini studio for a few hours. I had the pleasure to work with Vincent Lamoureux.
Only 1 light was used, near the model, on the right. The barn doors were adjusted to limit the spill
Model is Maude from Mannequin Direct and we met at the show.
Strobe info: Aurora Mini200 with barn doors on the right at 60% power, aiming slightly down.
Ladies and gentlemen, the starting lineup for the foosball match of the century!
Strobist: Each frame was shot with a tightly snooted Vivitar 285HV over each player's head to look like a spotlight. The images were combined in PS using the Layers->Lighten mode.
These are some of my favorite presets. I have never purchased a preset in my life, I have fun making my own and have developed my own workflow. I have a preset for just about everything, low light, backlight, exposure, contrast, and so on! Each preset not only changes skin tone, but also changes the colors and contrast of the rest of the image, making it very fun to edit and process each image just the way I like it for the shot. One thing I never do or have done is touch my subjects face or eyes in any way. I do not go in and smooth skin or change eye colors and so fourth. The beauty of the subject is truly untouched in my images. I really do stick to the natural in natural light photography not just for lighting, but for facial features and so on! Here are a few I just wanted to share as I am working through this session :)

Thank you!!! Brad and I were stunned when we got home and read all your messages of support!! I am so lucky to have such kind and supportive friends! I am very grateful - more than I can express.
I will visit all your streams ASAP. I apologize that I'm taking longer than I expected to settle back into a routine and I'm so behind with everything!
I haven't had time to take photos since returning to Perth so I'm cheating by using photos I took in Adelaide: The window display of the the Antique Market, Grote Street, Adelaide for this week's Pretty Pink Tuesday theme: Spring, and Pretty Pinkisms theme: Happy Easter!
So HPPT everyone!!!
