I don't do New Years Resolutions in general. So, for this week's photo, I thought about something big that would happen in our family in 2012. Something like... potty training our almost 3-year-old.

(Als variatie zijn de coupletten hierna ook te zingen door i.p.v. het getal "vier" vier vingers in de lucht te steken, en door in plaats van "hoed" te zingen, naar je hoofd te wijzen. De herkomst van dit liedje over de scoutinghoed is niet bekend, maar het kreeg in de jaren 70 in Nederland landelijke bekendheid toen het deel uitmaakte van een cabaretvoorstelling van Frans Halsema en Gerard Cox. Zij deden samen een sketch waarin ze twee padvinders speelden, en allerlei cliché's over de scoutingbeweging naar boven haalden.)

People Project- I was digging through my files for some inspiration and I found a few images that I shot for my self-assigned "people project" and this was one that was originally color and it just didn't work for me, so I converted to grey scale and added a texture that I had shot of some lichen on a boulder...dodged and burned to taste.
l'inafferrabile essenza del nostro essere sfugge alla percezione, si rifugge nella fulgida luce, si maschera di luminosità ...
Ma alla fine basta ruotare la lente dell'obiettivo per mostrare cosa siamo?
this may seem a bit anti-climatic to most of you. (in fact, i'm pretty sure no one even follows my flickr anymore. i know i don't even follow my own). but, when i started this project back in 2007, i knew it would be a challenge, and that i would eventually finish it. i've seen hundreds of people start and quit, and start and finish this project YEARS before i did. really. 100 strangers made me nervous, shy, apprehensive...all of it. i looked forward to completing it and meeting each person, but each and every time i shot a stranger, the nerves came back. i'd say i really enjoyed about 99% of the people, (i hope you can all guess the ONE that was not a good one!!) which says a lot about people. so, if anyone is out there anymore, THIS is my 100th stranger!! yes, i shot this way back in july--you know--i'm a slacker. just getting around to uploading now.
i learned about myself too. of course, the nerves, etc. were a huge factor here. but something else occurred. i learned that photographers are not only people with big fancy cameras and lenses and know about f-stops and apertures. well, maybe they are. and if so, maybe i'm not a photographer. because i don't care about any of that, and i was able to successfully capture images of 100 strangers, and furthermore, to get their short story across...most of the time anyway. and i usually did it with a point and shoot. i think that art, photography, whatever--is totally subjective, and that there are a million ways to get an image across. film, digital, iPhone, whatever. one doesn't make you better. it just makes you YOU. you know?
so doing this project somehow made it ok to be like that. i often told complete strangers that i was doing a "photography project" and had to show confidence in my craft---even when using a beat up lil camera. that was HARD! i had to convince them of my project, and therefore muster up confidence in myself. overall-i think i did ok w/ it. a wise friend once said: "its not the wand, it's the wizard", and perhaps that's true.
i also started LOOKING at people differently as a result of this project. where are they going? what is their story? why are they so happy/sad?..... i've always been intrigued by people, and this really opened my awareness. i learned how to approach them and not be intimidating. i felt it was important not to always choose the "expected"...very bizarre looking person....but sometimes, the everyday person was "my perfect stranger". i became aware of the idea of exploitation, and didn't shoot pics of the interesting homeless characters just because they "looked cool."
will i ever do this project again? hell no. but i have another one up my sleeve. if i ever get back on flickr regularly, that is.

stranger #100: Angel. I do not know a lot about this amazing person. What I do know, I adore. Angel was part of the crew for the Monserrat, which was our boat in the Galapagos Islands. He welcomed us when we got off the bus in this "panga"/dingy boat and took us to the main boat. His smile greeted us every day we were there, and he happily shuttled us from island to island. He watched over us as we snorkeled...scanning the water for sharks (although that was never said). There were a few somewhat scary incidents in which the engine on our "panga" died (flooded?) and we were left to float...out there...alone...in the waves....600 miles in the middle of the ocean...yah. Angel remained calm and tried over and over again to pull start the engine--never showing any fear. I know that he is Ecuadorian, and that he speaks very little english, and that he is an incredible asset to this team. Thank you for letting me shoot you for my 100th stranger, Angel. You truly are. :)

Went to view an Osprey project near Machynlleth but the viewing platform to where the Osprey's were nesting was a full 200 yards from the impressive hide building. But even with 500mm focal length and a little cropping I ended up with a nice record shot only!! The staff kindly opened the window to get a better image but the rain was blowing at times.
Anyway it was worth visiting, there are three "chicks" on the nest one doing practice flying. One parent was off fishing and came back with a flounder ? fish while the other parent was on top of the main camera mast which gave impressive video feeds back to the main building and the hide building.
So here's the final poster for my Project 365. I plan on getting it printed out on a large canvas and hanging it up in my room.
Parasol from a local charity shop, and painted glass in my fave colours from our local Fair Trade shop, The Windmill
I can't decide on this week's Project 52 entry! The theme is "negative space", hence the unusual crops (done in camera).
I'm going to have a little sit and look at them for a few days to decide, unless anyone has any strong feelings???

The HUGS project is a non profit organization that sends care packages to service men and women overseas. Their mission is "to give a HUG to every American serving in the Middle East."
Their most pressing need is Marines and National Guard members who have been sent to Afghanistan (where the worst of the fighting is taking place). They are stationed deep in enemy territory where we haven't been before. The only water and supplies they have is what they can carry in on their backs. When they finally get a break and can receive mail from home, we want them to find care packages overflowing with snacks, hygiene items, DVD's and CD's, Oreos, SOCKS!! and other needed items. But, most of all, we want them to experience the love we'll be tucking inside along with cooling ties and other items. We'll be sending out extra boxes to the Marines in Afghanistan this week in addition to the 50-100 packages we normally send. That's $400-$900 in postage and that's to send out EMPTY boxes, it also takes MORE money to fill them so....we need YOUR help. If you can help us with ANY amount, it will be very much appreciated. Thank you for having a HUGe heart for some of America's finest young men and women.
Project G fighter 3 of 5.
The FS-40G Gladiator is a three-engine, multirole fourth-generation starfighter based on the FS-28 Barbarian model. It was built to fulfill a defensive and long distance role in the United Earth Fleet.
Much more armored and protected than its fourth-generation brethren, this craft is able to take twice the punishment that the Paladin can. The Gladiator's weapons are thus built with sustained combat in mind. The Italian defense contractor Magnelli Munitions manufactured a new Plasma Bullet and Blaster system for the nose of the craft, the M-24 Spartacus, paired with the twin rotating Multi-Blaster launchers located under the crest of the tail fin. Set at the sides of the nose are four Austrex MV-880 Mauler Vulcan Cannons for close in dogfighting, and set on the outer edges of the prongs are four Austrex MW-720 Wild Pack Wide Bullet cannons to destroy large numbers of incoming targets all at once. Between those Wild Pack cannons are Caliban SIM-85 Apollo long distance missiles.
Mounted at the prong tips and within them are two different weapon systems that have been classified by the UEF and are at this point unknown.
Pilots of the Gladiator deal with the craft's inferior handling with a twisted pride. Said one, "The Gladiator doesn't fly through the air. It punches through it." Without any secondary thrusters at all, the Gladiator cannot perform the quick jinking bursts designed to dodge massed enemy fire. Its twin Hoffman engines instead force their thrust through twelve separate nozzles, offering fine straight line control and the highest sustained speed of any fighter craft in the fleet. Its large fuel cells also guarantee the longest flight time, distance, and durability.
The Gladiator first took flight in 2792, replacing the FS-36 Spartan in the family of tanker configuration roles assigned to starfighters of the United Earth Fleet. The tanker role is built for durability, distance, and long range attacks. This type of craft is by far the heaviest and most durable while still managing to pack a punch.
The Unimoc corporation finally got its chance to shine, as a lot of the total craft power was dedicated to the shields. They responded with a brand new shield system, the Gauss-9D, granting this craft over twice the durability of any other starfighter in any class.
As of 2795, like the Warlock before it, 53 of the FS-40G Gladiator craft have been manufactured and assigned to a single fighter squadron, the VSA-10 Steel Titans.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
OK so I'm thinking about buying book boxes and making them into cases for my dolls! I got the idea from the Cerise Wolf doll. Hopefully I won't have any procrastination and get this up and finished!
For this one I'll be making a story book for my custom TLM musical Ariel (thank you again Oz!)
I was taking photos of jewelry that my sister makes for Ball Jointed Dolls.
She has this great little box with a ring for your bjd and a matching ring for you.
It's genuine silver. My sister is goldsmith ;)
One of the projects I have due next week requires me to take a photo of a night time student 'activity'. Without being vulgar this was the best I could come up with.
This was taken in the kitchen of my apartment. We are lucky enough to have a few brick walls.
One of the amazing cars that took part in the 2013 South Florida Exotic Car Toy Rally to benefit Toys For Tots.
