(Working on projects. I like to keep about a thousand active projects going at once. Have to be careful to start a bunch more right when I’m about to finish one.)
That embroidered felt cloche I’m copying for Navia made me realize I needed to practice embroidery more. So how about some little headbands to match another project, and of course some matching embroidered boot spats??
It snowed, so that means I really want to get out the doll horses. The weather has been just too cold to do it, but that’s given me time to put together some country riding outfits?
It took me about a week. A couple of hours a day, sometimes twice a day. Watching and studying this Kingfisher. Learning its routine. Where does it perch? How often does it dive for fish? (Sometimes only once an hour.) How far does it dive from its perch? Which direction does it fly? I processed all the behavioral information, now it was time to work on technique. Which focus mode? How do I time the shutter release? What settings, and much, much more. Then it was trial and error and error and error. A couple of "almost got it". Finally, late in the afternoon, on the last day of July, success. Belted Kingfisher coming out of the water with a fish.
A shot from last week's shoot for Golf Monthly in Gran Canaria. Between the 7 of us we shot a year's worth of instruction for the magazine (2 snappers, 2 journalists, 3 Golf pro's). Roughly 500 shots a day, hampered slightly by torrential rain, hurricane force winds, and very grumpy and slow moving German golfers.
With so much to shoot, I generally keep things very simple, and use my patented all-singing-all-dancing double flashgun stand to act as fill for the sun, but now and again I need to get a bit more complex. This is lit with said double flashgun off to camera right to light Paul the golfer, triggered by a pocket wizard, and then an Sb800 with a wide angle diffuser immediately to camera right, also on a pocket wizard to light the balls in the foreground. There's a setup shot here to make it easier.
There's no photoshopping involved, but I'll admit that the ball in the air isn't the one that Paul hit - it was dropped by Neil and I caught it in middair. Camera's never lie, but photographers can't be trusted!

As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn't go.
Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection.
The quote above is an except from a wonderful poem by Wendell Berry entitled, "Manifesto:
The Mad Farmer Liberation Front". I highly recommend you read it, in particular out loud. It's a remarkable poem, both content-speaking and in terms of flow: the fast-slow cadence, the words that roll and tumble about in your head, and the all too serious humor contained within.
This was taken last Spring, and was one of the many cherry tree images that I have left to post. It was, of course, taken with the Hasselblad 500 C/M.
Mallard chick giving his wings a workout in preparation for the first flight. The beak seems to be growing faster than the wings. That's not surprising given that the beak does not stop the whole day.
This man or woman, i am really not sure =), was taking a shot of the sail.
i knew it because i was standing at the same position before i went up to take this shot.
i guess i am at the right place and the right time.

Tegann really loves ballet. We take her every Wednesday to "Dance Class" as she calls it. She counts down to "Dance Class" starting every Wednesday night at bedtime!
She's actually a little advanced for her age and was put in an older class this past year.
I'm really hoping we can get her in the local feeder school for the arts. She's really into all of the arts. Visual, musical, and performance...she loves it all.

As any self respecting Lenfel will tell you, one does not just become a master archer, rather it takes years of constant practice. Thus within Lenfald, a nation of master archers, scenes like this are extremely common. In the fields and forests, all over the nation, one can see archers, often of both sexes, practicing their skills just about anywhere.

"Practice makes perfect". When not deployed, Tier 1 operators from the Special Operations Group spend countless hours on the range to perfect their shooting.
A choir practice just before an event in Chester Cathedral. I wanted to get the contrast of the cool window and the warm tones of the tunics - and I think I achieved that. I wish I had taken my tripod though - this was handheld at 1000 ISO and, as a result, is noisy and a little soft but overall, I was pleased with it
I took this photo at Komazawa-Olympic-Park, Tokyo, Japan.
An old man was changing his wear to start practice on stairs.
I don't know how long he have kept his work.
It looked something ceremony.
"Oh What a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive."

Medical Friendly Shelter Full Scale Exercise 2018
The City held a full-scale exercise of the Medically Friendly Shelter (MFS) designed to establish a learning environment for participants to exercise their MFS operational plans.
The exercise served as a practical walk through of planning, operational coordination, operational communication, logistics and supply chain management, public health, healthcare, and emergency medical services
The MFS is only activated for a Category 2 or greater hurricane or as directed by the City Manager. The MFS is for people who, during periods of evacuation or emergency, require sheltering assistance due to physical, mental or cognitive impairment, or a sensory disability that exceeds the basic level of care provided at a general population shelter, but does not require the level of care provided at a skilled medical facility. This includes help with administering medication, personal hygiene assistance with activities of daily living (washing, dressing and eating).
