This is just my creativity I love to tell a story through pictures and I hope that this shows that I sometimes like to step out of my comfort zone and do photography like this

I don't want this, I don't need this
I don't give a single fuck about your thoughts and prayers
Salvation in destruction, and I am the apostle of pain
There's more money in tragedy, and more net worth in self pity
So you're doubling down inside of your screen, hiding behind attention you seek
There's nowhere left for you to hide the bodies
Don't pray for me when you're the one to blame
Don't think of me when you go up in flames
Don't pray for me when you're the one enslaved
No miracles, just fantasy

For #WorldPhotographyDay the world comes to Launceston.
With these colours against a dark blue sky, you would be forgiven for thinking this building is in Kathmandu. Instead it is the Tibetan Buddhist Institute in Bryan Street, Invermay. The prayer flags are flying in their usual order with colours blue (sky), white (air), red (fire), green (water) and yellow (earth). All five together symbolise harmony and order.
The Tibetan Buddhist Institute is part of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Mahayana Buddhism. One of its key scriptures is the Diamond Sutra. The current leader of this lineage is the 17th Karmapa. diamondway.org.au/buddhism/the-karma-kagyu-lineage
Earlier this year the institute in conjunction with the BOFA Film Festival produced a festival of Tibetan films.

Prayer flags fluttering over the chortens at Kunzum La @ 15K feet. The wind here could sweep away a person.
These flags are spreading love and wisdom.

Prayers for Japan
A prayer given in Tabgha Church of the Loaves & Fish on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee, Israel.
I love the way the candle light reflects on her hand. This was the main reason I framed this photo as it is. I think it works well. What do you think?
"River Prayer" [1/52]
Here we go again :) I said I was going to do a 52 week project again and I'm going to try my best to keep to it again.
This image was taken during Promoting Passion convention last year in Buffalo, NY on a gorgeous property. I've posted a few pictures from it, like the red tree and the moon in the lake.
This image was taken during Joel Robison Photography's workshop. After I watched his demo, I helped others with their conceptual ideas. Something about this lady caught my eye and really drawn me to the idea of prayer. Maybe I was looking for a way to be creative again, maybe I wanted to work with someone new to me, or maybe I just saw a pretty spot and wanted someone there. Doesn't matter. I scooped her up as soon as she was done with another photographer. I brought her over to the side of everything. Someone was generous to hold a big tree branch back as I caught the angle I wanted for my image. I sat on this image for a while. I couldn't quite figure out what I wanted it to say yet but I'm finding more often now that my work has given me stories over me creating stories and forcing my images to show those stories.
It's a new adventure for me to give up being in control of certain things. Everything has to be how I like it or it's nothing to me. I see myself as a very controlling person in some regards. I suppose it's fear of the unknown, fear of possibly not being able to adapt, or fear that I'm not good enough.
My entire life has been about trying to control certain situations so that I can look as good as I possibly can. Being bullied as a child has long term aftereffects. I want to stop blaming these past traumas and hold myself more accountable. I'm not my past and my past will never be who I am today.
When I spotted these spinning wheels, I pretended I was in Tibet. I decided to get a close up shot of them with a thin depth of field. I happened to have a 35mm Cron with me, so it was good. To be honest, I didn't know where I should place my focus point. I decided to aim a bit further on the first wheel so that the whole wheel was not totally blurred out. Shooting with a rangefinder did force me to think rather than to point and shoot.
