I will explain why...
For it’s the duty of each one of us to be the best we can be... Beauty is easy to shoot... Beauty is acceptable…this is not beauty... But I hope it's though provoking...
If this makes you stare and think... Then, then I’m happy...
There's nothing wrong to ask the question why?
Please remember.
To control the light is to control photography...

"We're on the brink of adventure, children. Don't spoil it with questions."
Says Mary Poppins in the movie "Mary Poppins Returns"
I get many questions about how I created this shot. It's a long exposure (25 seconds); I had my flash in my hand and after I started the exposure I hit the truck once from the side, then ran in and did another flash from each headlight back at the camera. I had a white jacket on, which I should have taken off, but you can't really see it. It took many attempts to get the lighting right and the angles of the headlights correct so that they looked like they were in the right spot. I think it may have been easier to use an on-board camera trigger and put two flashes in the headlight sockets that would automatically fire. But that would have been tricky too.
Every time I post a photo I question myself why do I continue posting photos and depending on the mood come up with different answers. My original intention was to make the feminine persona I portray visible while showing those who took the time to view the photos my approach to crossdressing. It did not take long for me to realize that the audience we reach in social networks, though limited to the gender identity realm, is quite diverse in interests and purposes.
Over the years, the comments that I have treasured the most had to do with an appreciation for how I performed the art of feminine illusion or, even more so, with how my images and thoughts had helped them in accepting themselves and finding a guidance on how to approach their crossdressing. In my early years on the Internet, along with a few likeminded friends, there were not many of us posting photos and therefore our posts were more meaningful and helpful. Today we can easily get lost in an ever-growing virtual community, as we gain acceptance in society and people realize the need to bring their feminine persona to life.
Why, then, do I continue to post when I get to dress so little and there are so many younger and more proficient girls leading the way? I have come up with a few answers that range from not loosing touch with a community that has given me treasured friendships and understanding; to, yes, see if I can age with grace and still measure up :) In conclusion, for as long as I get to dress even if it is once a year and I have the time to take photos and share them, I will keep a presence both here and on Facebook. Being here has always provided the means to be there for anyone who needs help or advice and, on the selfish side, feel useful in a field that I only those who know it can fully understand.
Often I have been approached, via message or in person, by sisters who mention not daring to contact me before because they thought I was some sort of celebrity that would never respond. Nothing could be farthest from the truth as can be confirmed by anyone who has ever written. I am here to share my life experience and will always respond to a message and even more so if it is asking fro help. I used to comment on friends posts on a regular basis but as our community grew, I had to stop doing that due to time constraints and my inability to keep track of everyone's posts. I have always hoped that my friends have understood that since, after all, for most of us, we have complex male lives to lead.
Love you all!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
'Best of' Albums--> Photos with 500+ Faves
What is going on there that is so funny?? A couple of guesses... of course it can be because of a joke... Imagine how good it should be to make smile this guy! But if I have to bet... the joy of falling through a toboggan is beyond age or species! :D
¿Qué pasa ahí que es tan divertido? Se me ocurren un par de posibilidades...pudiera ser por un chiste...imaginaros lo bueno que debe ser para hacer reir a este amigo! Pero si tuviera que apostar...la felicidad de dejarse caer por un tobogan está más allá de la edad y de la especie!! :D
INGREDIENT:
ok...hard to write all the scattered memories, feelings, or whatever shit you see and feel in a blink ...in just a fraction of a second of closed eyes... of darkness...like the last moment of your life in a falling plane...just a blink...
black soup is not a photo or lack of light. it's a soup full of... possibly random wasteful thoughts... maybe emptiness, joy, grief ,childish excitement , simple sighs, ignorance, time ... and whatever we add into it.... a soup for nobody, nobody................ but...wait a minute... look at there... see what is written on the wall:
¨Plus les positions des gens que j’ai présentes à l’esprit sont nombreuses pendent que je réfléchis sur une question donnée et mieux je puis imaginer comment je me sentirais si j’étais à leur place, plus forte sera ma capacité de pensée représentative et plus valide seront mes conclusions finales, mon opinion. C’est cette aptitude à une mentalité élargie , qui rend les hommes capable de juger¨ (Arendt, Vérité et politique :307)
my my oh my...passing by, scratching the fingers on the toughness of that wall , i'm providing " BLOOD", the first ingredient. dreams are rushing in, long enough to be enclosed in a blink, enough to please the wandering soul momentarily...
"ok cut...I said cut...we don't need more blood for the soup...time for a break for all..." he said.
he's going to the darkness tent. stars are falling ...the whole night is falling in the soup while it's boiling...he knows he has too much to do even after death. life is too long and he has just the time of a blink...memories bring nothing but tears of happy and sad ...he adds them to the soup...what else?!...a little picture of the moon, a little rage of the century a little wasted time, a little past, a little future, a little wicked souls, a little regret, a little numbness, a little you, a little fact , alittle fantasy....time is getting over...
now the last ingredient... Black Ladybird...she's gone.
opens his eyes. nobody's around.............
........under the moon light...she stole my camera when I went away for a cigarette...
please comeback! promise not to use you in the soup...bring back my camera love! bring it back... I fall at your feet!...take me with you...........................

U2 - No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

Japanese is the following.

_________________________________
Vincent finally made his decision. He wasn't going to go home. Not tonight. Even feeling the effects of the herb couldn't squash the feeling of emptiness and taint he felt when he thought of going home tonight. Yet, as he stood on the curb of the main street that led downtown from the docks there seemed to be no carriages around. He knew all he had to do was wait a while and surely one would show up soon.
All of a sudden, Vincent's stomach made a loud gurgle and it caused him to actually grab his stomach in surprise. He smirked slightly to himself as he realized he was feeling hungry; likely induced by the herb. And as he thought about food, he began to feel like he wanted something savory. With the docks nearby, there would be food vendors still around. It was always a busy area, day or night. And he knew he'd be more likely able to find a carriage to take him downtown, too.
...
Vincent's mouth watered as he stood before the fried fish vendor and watched as his sandwich was being made. These street vendors always had the best food! And being right on the lake meant fresh fish was a popular menu option, which was a favorite of Vincent's. His fried fish was being smothered on top in a tangy, creamy sauce with a fresh tomato sandwiched between a perfect looking bun, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Once handed his food, Vincent gave a grateful "Thank you" to the vendor before turning and setting off to find a spot to devour his food.
Licking a little bit of dripping sauce off the edge of the bun, Vincent gave a soft moan of appreciation at the hint of spicy flavor. This was going to be delicious! He wandered off to the side out of the way. Finally, over by a bench under a tree, he stood there and gave his sandwich an eager glance over before bringing it to his mouth. But before he could take a bite, he saw the shadow of someone approaching to his left. Hell, they weren't even paying attention, he realized with annoyance as he stepped out of the way just in time! They were walking backwards and looking around everywhere but where they were going! Vincent looked up with a small glare at whoever it was.
"Hey, watch it!"
"I'm so sorry! My bad, I- Vincent?"
Vincent blinked and stared up at the person as it registered that it was...Aiden. Aiden was in fact the offending pedestrian and not just a figment of his imagination! Vincent was so amazed by his unexpected appearance that his sandwich remained forgotten in his hands at chest level. Suddenly he blurted out the first words that came to mind.
"Are you stalking me?!"
Aiden was startled by the outburst and found he couldn't help but laugh! Vincent sounded so serious and was still staring at him as if he couldn't believe his eyes! Aiden shook his head and put up his hands in playful defense with a grin and insisted, "I'm not, I swear! I didn't mean to almost run you over. I'm- I'm lost." Aiden's grin faded as he glanced around then finally back to Vincent with an embarrassed smile.
"Lost?"
"Yeah. I was trying to find the short-cut I found the other day but I must have missed it. No, I can't have. Bah, I must be on the wrong street! Everything looks different at night!"
As the seconds passed, Vincent found he was becoming amused at Aiden's predicament and felt a little bad for him, too. While the docks were nearby, they weren't exactly close to where Leon's Claw was docked. He could point out how to get there from here but there were no short-cuts. Aiden had to be on the wrong street just like he thought he was. Even while under the influence of the herb, Vincent could see how Aiden looked a little worn out and flushed. Likely, he'd been wandering a while on top of having such a busy day.
"Are you okay?" Aiden asked, his brow furrowing slightly as he studied Vincent. He even leaned in slightly more to squint at him in the dim lighting. Vincent...seemed alright but somehow off. It was...almost as if he were drunk but not quite. He seemed to be in total control of himself and was answering without slurring. What was going on?
Opposite him, Vincent stared back at Aiden for a long moment. Then, unexpectedly, Vincent grinned and replied in a slightly more chipper voice than Aiden had ever heard, "I am now!" And he brought his sandwich up to his mouth and took a big bite. He moaned softly and closed his eyes as he savored the favor.
"Mm! This is hitting the spot. Are YOU okay?" Vincent was suddenly asking him once he swallowed his first bite. He tilted his head slightly as he stared up at Aiden. Then without another word he took another bite of his sandwich while still staring up at his friend.
Aiden laughed softly as he tried to wrap his head around Vincent's behavior! He'd never seen Vincent act like THIS! Even to Aiden, he wasn't sure if it made sense. It was as if the captain had let go of his inhibitions more than usual. It wasn't to say he hadn't opened up more as of late but there was just something different about tonight.
"I'm fine," Aiden explained. "Really! Don't look at me like that! I've just been walking for a couple of hours now. That's all. How far away is the ship anyway?"
"I'd say about thirty minutes?"
"Well, shit. At least it's not too far. I can't wait to get something to drink."
"You look it. Why don't you get one on the way?"
"I forgot my money on the ship."
"Aiden!"
"What?!"
"What the Hell am I gonna do with you?"
Vincent chuckled softly and shook his head at Aiden's sheepish little smile. Vincent licked his lips and looked around. He could see a few of the public carriages coming in this direction. With any luck, he could snag one and head downtown! But what was he going to do with Aiden? Logically, he knew he could just send him off with directions. That's what he should do. Maybe he'd give him the money to get a cool drink, too. Yes, that sounded good. And when he looked back at Aiden to do just that, he was caught off guard as Aiden seemed to be leaning in and peering at him a little closer.
"Are you 'sure' you're okay?" the younger man asked as he tilted his head. "You never really answered me before and...I just realized your eyes are really red." Aiden's concern shifted into confusion as Vincent suddenly laughed softly and gave a small, dramatic sigh before replying, "I'm fine! Though, I'm fairly certain you've seen my eyes like this many times. You're only just noticing! It comes with smoking the herb and it's perfectly normal."
"Smoking the herb?" Aiden responded uncertainly. And then it clicked! "Isn't that what your bhang is made from? Wait....are you sure you should be smoking with your ribs like that?" At this, Vincent gave him a look as he responded firmly and with authority, "I know the risks and right now I could care less. It's been a Hell of a night, but at least I'm not fucking drunk. And...to answer your question: yes, it is what my bhang is made from." And with that, Vincent lowered his gaze with a small sigh. Aiden could see how his shoulders sank just a touch as well. He looked exhausted; not just physically but emotionally. Aiden couldn't help but wonder: what had happened in the last few hours since they'd seen each other?
"Would you tell me about it?"
"Tell you about what?"
"All of it. Any of it. Bhang. Herb. I still don't really know what it is. Or you could tell me about whatever happened since I left? I don't know. You just...look like you could use a friend."
God damn it all! How the Hell did Aiden do this?! Vincent knew Aiden was being genuine and just wanted to be there for him. But there were just some things he was not wanting to divulge; not that there was anything really to talk about, he thought to himself. Though Aiden had a way about him that brought down Vincent's defenses time and time again. Maybe he should just say goodnight. Right now was not a good time to discuss any of it. They were too out in the open!
On the other hand, he supposed he could just go with Aiden back to Leon's Claw, but honestly he still was wanting to go downtown. And while he wasn't sure about talking about what happened tonight, he surprisingly found he...he wouldn't actually mind explaining this whole cannabis business and what it was. In fact, he wanted to do it. But that meant taking his company on for the rest of the night and making sure he got back to the ship safely afterwards. Did he really want to deal with that? Really?
"Not here. Do you want to come downtown with me?"
Apparently so. There was no taking it back now. Vincent wasn't sure if he was going to regret this or not, but he wanted to be the one to help Aiden understand. It would also help his friend understand Vincent better as well; more of why and who he was.
"S-sure! But I don't have a way to get back without my money. Did you want to just go back to Leon's Claw first?" Aiden asked. He wanted to go with Vincent wherever he was going! What was downtown? He was curious! He could see Vincent considering it for a long moment then finally shook his head and responded, "I'll pay for your carriage back. Let's get you something to drink then when we get to my office I'll explain everything."

Como todos me chamam de maníaca porque adoro empilhar coisas, estes dias descobri que existem até competições para empilhar as coisas mais inusitadas.
Convenhamos, isso exige uma certa habilidade....rsrrrs...........e paciência. O resultado é sempre bacana ou divertido( quando aquilo tudo despenca).

A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth. By Adlai E. Stevenson
I chose this shot because I have come to believe that almost every Politician we have is in a fog and when you ask a question they are ready to talk but I doubt they even know what they are talking about...
The question is: how? Was the feather blown there like a dart in Wednesday night's gale or did someone place it there. And who did it belong to: a rook or a crow?
Question: who can sit still waiting longer – Rick or the Great Blue Heron?
Answer: Great Blue Heron.... by a long shot.
I sat on the river bank 2.5 hours waiting for this beautiful GBH to lift it's wings, flap, preen, do anything for heaven's sake. Nada. Nothing. S/he didn't even move his/her friggin feet! The most I got was a slight turn of the head. That was it for 2.5 hours until the light got too dim to stay any longer. (Well, actually, the wind ruffled the feathers, if that counts.)
I couldn’t figure out how the legs were tucked up under him/her. If someone can tell me the gender I’d appreciate it. When I look in my bird book it isn’t very helpful.
In any case, it was beautiful to meditate down on the river bank with him/her while the sun went down.
Question mark butterfly, named for the tiny white mark on the underside of the wing, shaped vaguely like the punctuation symbol. If you look closely you can see the mark on this one as it feeds on juices from the orange slice I put out for birds. I love the shape of the wings on this species. Should one land on a tree branch they can blend in perfectly with leaves and bark.

Question oreilles, je fais concurrence à mon frère Lewis.
Elsa a été chez le docteur ce matin pour ses vaccins et pour faire enregistrer sa puce française en Belgique. Elle a été très sage, mais elle est très "cabot", quand la vétérinaire lui a tondu la patte pour une prise de sang (pour vérifier si elle est stérilisée) elle a pleuré comme si on la battait ;-) Mais au moins avec elle, pas de muselière et elle a gentiment salué un autre chien dans le couloir.
Matter of ears, I compete with my brother Lewis
Elsa went to the doctor this morning for her vaccinations and to register her French chip in Belgium. She was very nice, but she has a very "show off" behaviour, when the vet sheared her paw for a blood test (to check if she is neutered) she cried as if she was beaten ;-) But at least with her, no muzzle, and she friendly greeted another dog in the hall.
In my question I did not get the chance to say ALL the things that I would have liked to say. The truth is though this competition was very special for so many reason. It was my first competition like this which made it so unique and gave me a huge opportunity to grow and to learn not only with creating but in this amazing world of modeling and fashion! I also got to meet amazing people! We had so much fun and I feel like I made some good friends, who will forever be my Avistars Family! Most importantly though, the sweetest part of this competition was these two right here. We worked so hard. The 3 of us were non-stop. We pushed each other and we encouraged one another. We were driven to one up our best every week! Being surrounded by this kind of talent literally skyrocketed my drive. I was determine to only do my best because they only did their best. Cole quite literally honed their skills of meshing clothing and also learned Substance Painter for this competition. Bubby was knocking out new tricks like I have never seen before! The mesh bubby produced for this competition is beyond!! It is Epic! The rigging, *chefs kiss*. I literally grew 10 fold in my texturing and discovered new and amazing techniques that I will carry through into my creations. There is something so delectable about that kind of creative energy being shared. I can't wait to see what the future brings for us!
Here's WIP of a tank I'm working on.
If I were to make instructions for some of my builds, would you guys be interested?

I'm still asking all these questions, it's been a long time now, and it's getting longer day after day, but I just can't accept what I did and even less how I did it.
Actually I really feel like I knocked myself up, everyday looks the same, each time I think I feel better, I finally feel worse, I can't go on and I still don't understand what's keeping me here.
Sometimes I just wanna run to her and explain myself to her, like, real explanations, not the shitty ones I said to her just to make her hate me and leave me alone.
But life isn't like this, and I'll probably never hear her voice again, and I miss it, how I miss it...
This place was shot in Luzern, made me think of Annecy in France, regarding the both sides of this lovely city, with ancient and new. I'll sure get back to there one day or another.
Have a nice day folks!

Even though there are streaks of light flying by and the city lights, there's something to me about this that speaks of solitude.
The town I grew up in is an odd little place, a mixture of moving forward and stagnation. I'm sure lots of little towns are like this, unsure whether they'll wither or thrive. As with people, there's beauty and ugliness to find. I tend to concentrate on the former. While I was taking this shot, I heard a voice from across the street, "Are you taking pictures of that?" I yelled back in the affirmative. A couple of similar questions. The last one she replied, "you know, it is pretty at night." There was a sound of incredulity. As if she'd never noticed before. A second later, her friends stepped out of a nearby shop and I heard her telling them about me taking pictures of the depot and how pretty it was. There was an odd feeling of accomplishment regardless of whether the photo is worth anything to anyone other than me.

The day in question was freezing and very windy, the sun was going down fast. I shot my quickest photo shoot ever, just to get off that Siberian beach !! The dogs...well they loved it down there ? One of the shots was blown up on canvas for the dogs owner as a surprise Christmas present, which was from his understanding and patient girlfriend !
