Have started experimenting with shots that are a little out of my comfort zone this week, and it was only because there was a load of paint tins and boxes around this beauty that I was able to elevate myself and get it at this angle......and as the saying goes....FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY!!! ;o)
played some on my sculpture today. As always... i take the photo of the work and then i play with the photo.... as mentioned before this helps me to see where the work is and where it wants to go.
Sculpture work in progress- photo play

A red brick wall stands where once there was earth. The last remnant of what grew there — a tree’s shadow — flits across the surface, ephemeral, rootless, and fading.
This is what remains of a landscape once protected, once green. The tree is not pictured, only its echo. The wall is not art, only assertion. It is the nature of shadows to vanish when the light moves on. And it is the nature of modern “progress” to mistake replacement for improvement.
After the Second World War, Britain’s Green Belts were established not as decoration, but as covenant — breathing space for generations unborn. Their erasure, now dressed as necessity, is a slow forgetting. The houses may be needed. But the trees were too.
This image is not a cry of rage. It is quieter than that — a whisper of what was, and what may never be again.
Let it be a witness.
Hey Guys!
It's been a long time since I last posted, I've been incredibly busy. Recently things started to calm down, so I can finally do Lego related stuff again!
Please leave your thoughts and any suggestions in the comments!
Thanks!

Man and nature's work in progress, or something profound like that. The trees are in their autumn beauty, as my mate Bill used to observe. A quick play with my Sony Xperia Z5, still testing it out. This was the first proper sunlight since I got it.

Conversation from my previous post made me think about if, or how much my skills as a photographer have changed since I have been taking this craft more seriously.
The photos above are two shots of the same waterfall taken four years apart. The photo on the left was taken in October of 2006. The shot at the right was taken recently.
Four years ago I was pretty darn proud of the shot on the left, but am mortified that I would think that it was a great shot. I hate the stand up and take a snapshot composition. The water is all blown out and the sky is blown out as well.
This is how I see the shot on the right. The low comp is better... the sky is hidden keeping me from having to deal with that... and the colors are more vivid and saturated... something that I like in my work.
Have I taken any workshops? Have I read books? Have I taken college classes? Nope, nope and nope. You see, four years ago I discovered Flickr and have been learning from the photographers whose work I admire the most. The best part is the honest opinions and advice given freely by the same people that I admire. I am blown away at how approachable and willing to help the photographers that I admired are.
Thank you to everyone that takes the time to leave comments and critiques. Just a benign and simple "Nice shot!" comment, that some abhor, is seen as positive affirmation and encouragement by me. The critiques for me are lessons from skillful, caring generous photographers that are willing to take their valuable time to help to improve others work.
You all have something to do with my skill as a photographer and the resulting confidence that it fosters. My confidence and my constantly moving benchmark for where I want to be as a photographer are what drives me in what I do as a photographer.
I sincerely... totally sincerely thank everyone that has left comments, critiques and encouragement on my photos. You will never know how much they have helped my work and the personal happiness that I have in my life... especially when I'm out in the fresh air with my camera.
One disclaimer... I am in no way disparaging workshops or college courses. I'm sure that if my life's present situation were a bit more affluent I would be paying for workshops, college courses and books. I am confident that my learning curve would have been shorter and I would have improved my skill quicker. So by all means, take a class or a workshop, but don't discount what can be garnered from personal experimentation, observation of others work and the comments that are left on your photos here on Flickr.
Thanks so much my friends! : )
I made some good progress the last week. the upper part of the ship also needs to have LEDs installed.
A student of the Safar School smiles while listening to local elders speak about security and education in Garmsir district during a shura here, March 18. Approximately 40 elders and 150 students met with Afghan National Security Forces and U.S. Marines with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, at the newly constructed school to discuss the growth of education in Garmsir district. While there are several small schools in the surrounding area, the school was the first built in Safar by the local government with the aid of coalition forces. Despite requiring some finishing touches, the school is a vast improvement from its predecessor, a mud hut capable of supporting only 80 students.

La verdad es que donde veo mas diferencia es a la hora de hacer las fotos y custom (sobretodo en Iru lol) porqué moldes... aparte de Mirka, el resto sigo con los mismos. En el caso de Isaack, antes era Sebastian Michaelis (por el fullset que sacaron nativo de IOS) y Mirka una Sian de DC.
New Year's Resolution No. #1 is to finish this quilt! My goal is to have it complete by March 1st~just in time to back it with a print from the re-release of FMF. See, there is a method to my madness.
With a trailer in tow, Blackpool Transport Progress Twin Car set headed by car 874 loads passengers in the shadow of Blackpool Tower as a Marshall-bodied AEC Swift emerges from a side street. The Moderne building in the view was for many years a Woolworth’s store. It is now the Albert and The Lion, a Wetherspoon’s pub (which was beyond crowded when I tried to visit in more recent years).
‘Progress’ is the official motto of Blackpool.

Even "clean" energy has a cost. Not many images need a title but I feel that this one does. I invite all who view this to submit one. Idaho Falls, Idaho.
