... but try waking up every morning and loving the world all over again. That's what takes a real hero ~ Story People
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
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!
He is a pandit (priest) and was sitting on the Abu road station. Trains came and went but he was completely absorbed in reading his book (most prob it was some religious scripture).
This from my first few shots using 55-200 lens :)
I was talking over Skype to a young friend in California who had just bought a new Honda and showed me a phone shot of it. I couldn't help playing with it in Photoshop - the usual max abuse, to add some grit and attitude (and even a kitsch-y text to top it all :)

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.
Títol original: "El gat postprocessat"
La mirada magnética
The magnetic gaze
Der magnetische Blick
Processat: capa original + capa desenfoc gaussià en modo enfosquir + capa desenfoc gaussià en modo subexposar color, tot amb la finalitat de difuminar el cos i conservar la mirada.
Words whisper in the streets, wound into stone,
Time trembles in the face of its own echoe.
A miracle leaps bouncingly over bridges, kisses quietly the water -
Lovers soar up towards the sky,
While gold drips from roofs into red morning flow.
A thousand steps pulse within the cobblestone road,
are conceived and born anew with every wingbeat of breath.
Doves coo towards peace,
And hope nests in cracks in the walls,
sits underneath fingernails like dirt.
From unexpected dreamearths, longing is sprouting.
Stairs open up, gleam in the morning light.
prague, may 2006
(originally written in german:
In den Strassen wispern Worte in Stein gewunden,
die Zeit zittert im Angesicht ihres eigenen Echos.
Ein Wunder springt federnd über Brücken, küsst leise das Wasser -
Liebende schwingen sich zum Himmel empor,
während Gold von Dächern in das Morgenrot tropft.
Im Pflaster pulsieren tausende Schritte,
werden empfangen und neu geboren mit jedem Flügelschlag aus Atem.
Tauben gurren dem Frieden entgegen
und die Hoffnung nistet in Mauerritzen,
sitzt unter den Fingernägeln wie Dreck.
Aus unerwartetenTraumerden sprießt Sehnsucht.
Treppen öffnen sich, glänzen im Morgenlicht. )

We parked near this farmyard while we were visiting Binham Priory recently. The golden orange roof slates really cuaght my eye and stood out well against the rural background. Looks better viewed on black if you have a mo! Thanks to Kerstin Frank Art for the canvas texture

23 mars 2012, bureau, heure de midi … Une envie de faire le tour du quartier, près du parc Léopold à Bruxelles.
Ils viennent d’installer les grues sur la place Jean Rey pour le futur gros chantier immobilier.
En levant les yeux, je vois un superbe reflet rouge dans la force du bleu des fenêtres de ce bâtiment administratif.
Mais comment rendre cela … ? Très difficile à cette époque en 2012, à mes débuts photos.
Incroyable de voir les dizaines de centaines de photos qui dorment sur notre disque dur …

23 March 2012, my office, lunch time. I wanted to go for a walk, near the Leopold parc in Brussels.
They have just installed the big cranes on the Jean Rey square for the future yard of luxury flats.
Looking up, I saw a strong red reflection superimposed in the blue windows of an office building.
How to capture this? Not easy at that time in 2012, it was my beginning in photography.
Incredible these tens of hundreds of photo which sleep on my hard drive.

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!!!

"Life is like a box of chocolates. Cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you’re stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down till there’s nothing left to eat. Sure, once in a while there’s a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee, but they’re gone too fast and taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. And if you’re desperate enough to eat those all you’re left with is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers." - CGB Spender
On our trip to Toronto, Matt and I lucked into finding these Sideshow X-Files figures at Silver Snail Comics on Queen Street. I've wanted them for a while but online they cost a fortune. I bought Mulder and Matt bought the Cigarette Smoking Man (CGB Spender). I shot this last night as an experiment. I can't wait to take them outdoors and get a fog machine or something. :D
Setup: Two black t-shirts draped on a table and box. SB-600 shot from behind and through some burning incense wafted around in the air. I had Matt hold a small lantern camera right to light his face a little so it wasn't just a solid silhouette. Post-processed a bunch.
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 :)
Some coastal areas have one or more sets of dunes running parallel to the shoreline directly inland from the beach.

Voici une des photos que je n’aurais jamais espérée. Rassembler mes parents, dans leur naturel qui a toujours été simple, avant qu’ils ne partent.
D’autant plus inespéré qu’avec une vie comme la mienne qui ne fût pas très rectiligne, il ne m’a pas toujours été facile de faire comprendre mes choix, mes attentes.
Il aura fallu de mon côté beaucoup plus de maturité, et pour eux des accidents de santé importants, pour que nous puissions petit à petit parler, sans crainte d’un jugement trop catégorique.
Il existe un moment dans la vie où finalement il nous revient d’être les parents de nos parents, quand nous devons veiller sur eux beaucoup plus.
Dans cet esprit d’ouverture que je recherchais avec eux, je leur ai parlé encore une fois de mon hobby photo et du bien qu’il me procurait à plusieurs niveaux … Aussi de mes souhaits et de mes visions …
Mes parents me soutiennent maintenant, m’accompagnent maintenant partout où je fais des photos …
Cette photo est la première avec mon nouvel appareil D5300, et une nouvelle acquisition dans la famille de mes objectifs.
Lors d’une visite à mes parents pour leur montrer mes nouvelles acquisitions, j’ai eu l’immense privilège de rassembler papa et maman sur la même photo, chez eux, dans leur naturel … 149 années de vie à eux deux, 75 pour lui et 74 pour elle.
Une photo qui me tient à cœur énormément, en premier car j’ai encore la chance de les avoir tous les deux, et parce que je vois dans leur yeux le plaisir qu’ils ont à voir leur fils enfin heureux dans un hobby. Ils l’auront vu de leur vivant …

Here is a photo that I never expected. Take a shot of my parents, in their natural behavior, that has always been simple, before they leave.
Even more unexpected that with a life like mine, which was not very straight, it has not always been easy for me to explain my choices, my expectations.
I had to become a lot more mature, and on their side many heavy health accidents, so that we can gradually speak without a fear of categorical judgment.
There is a time in life when we finally play the role of parent of our parents, when we have to take care of them a lot much.
This is in this spirit of openness I was looking for with them, that I explained them once again my hobby for photography and all the benefit I gain at various levels from this practice ... We alo exchange on my wishes and my visions.
My parents support me now, and they accompany me wherever I take pictures.
This is the first picture with my new D5300 camera, and a new acquisition in my lenses family.
During a visit to my parents to show them my new acquisitions, I had the privilege to gather mum and dad on the same photo, at home in their natural environment... 149 years of life between them, 75 for him and 74 for her.
A photo very emotional, first because I still have the chance to have both of them, and because I see in their eyes they have the pleasure to see their son finally happy in a hobby. They will have seen this in their lifetime.
