Explosition... Questioning the existence..Smalti, Ammonite fossil, natural stones, kyanite stone.. 52/42 cm ..
Everything starts with a question.. How the earth come into existence, how the humananity started, questioning the sience, psicology, religions which bring the question of GOD, why there is love and hate, etc..
Who are we, why we are .... you name it, questioning the feelings, why this or that happened to us ( good and bad things, like happiness and sorrows), all happens within the beauty of nature ..
So wanted to point out to the explosion of WHAT and WHY with in us by the help of colours and flow of the mosaic.. Used some fossils and natural stones to specify the WHAT and WHY in our natural life ..
Jeanne is our beloved one who has been a gift from the God. She brings us all kinds of joys and surprises that lightening our every day life... now and onwards.

Have been questioning my resolve to carry on with this project lately. But then, you find inspiration in the most mundane of subjects, at the oddest hours of the day.
Running out the door this morning, throwing my lunch together in the kitchen, these soap/lotion bottles by the sink caught my eye, and suddenly, I just had to take a photo. This is the result.
Besides, I've been dying find an excuse to use one of Boccacino's beautiful ecrit textures. Merci beaucoup! :)
Questioning the logic behind bringing jackets the whole way up the mountain up until we reached the summit where it suddenly became Antarctica.
Questioning the universe
This spread is part of a larger book of typographic representations, exploring Professor Stephen Hawking’s Ted-talk titled ‘Questioning the Universe’ with the use of Adrian Frutiger's typeface Univers. It aims to present the various stages that have brought about the creation of the Universe, and challenge the enormity of this topic, with every 5 sheets of paper signifying 5 billion years in time.

I was seriously questioning wether there was any logging going on at all until Optimus Prime came roaring past. The retarded thing is – by the look of the maps, the section of our trail that’s closed only shares a couple of miles with the logging tracks, by detouring around it we’re actually exposed to much more logging traffic I suspect? Anyhow, Owls await, off we go.
#Singapore - #StrengthsFinder #Intellection in its infancy (basement) might look like someone who is way too deep and complex. Ever questioning the question being asked. They might "complexify" the simple and dig deep down a rabbit hole to a source of philosophical foundation that sits well with them They might live by the mindset - Always answer a question, with a more COMPLEX question Sometimes it's not because they do that on purpose, but they are really wondering the rational of the line of questioning They are thinkers that enjoy the occasion mental sparring. But need to know that not everyone enjoys the complex as much as they do #StrengthsFinderFun #GallupStrengthsFinder #CliftonStrengths #StrengthsQuest #StrengthsSchool #Gallup #StrengthsFinderSG #HumanResource #SelfImprovement #SelfDevelopment #TeamBuilding #Workshop #StrengthsCoach #ProfessionalDevelopment #StrengthsFinderCoach #CoachJasonHo Jason Ho • SouthEast Asia & Singapore's 1st StrengthsFinder Certified Coach • Strengths School™ Singapore ift.tt/2cbRfj6

I kinda hate this picture. To be honest I have been questioning this project as of late, and really I just started. I was afraid when I started this project one of two things was going to happen. I thought either I was going to take a picture in front of my bathroom mirror all the time, or I would take pictures at work every day. The latter seems to be what is happening.
I hate that my job is such a significant part of me life. I do define myself by my job, but recently it has been ALL I do. Somewhere along the lines I gave up on most of my hobbies, pushed away most of my family and friends and kinda locked myself away from the world. Part of the reason I am doing this project is so I can remember this year. For the last few years I have been working so much and so long I lost track, and I hate that.
I am going to try my best to stop doing work pictures, in part because I don't like taking too many pictures at work, and because I want my life to be more than that.
Questioning: "Filter your questions..." there's a lot of wisdom in this, I've started pulling a lot of focus on my conversations with people, what's worth sharing, when to ask things, and trying to practice a lot of restraint with what's not worth sharing, at least at this time, or at least not until it's invited to reveal itself. Like with a lot of other things in life, clutter confuses, let's create less of that for ourselves.
Talking to anybody who'll listen is no longer my M.O. nor has it been for quite some time. It actually feels like I've made it to the other extreme end of the spectrum these days. A lot of this summer has been me keeping to myself because I don't feel like draining my emotional bank account with someone who I'm not necessarily interested in making future deposits to, I mean how many guys volunteer to be a girl's shoulder to cry on? Haha.
I think our friends should be chosen carefully, and to grow those friendships, so should our words.
Sometimes I struggle, sometimes I think about what I want my relationships with various people in my life to be like, and I feel like they're so fucked up and not even close, or I worry about the bigger questions... I try to remind myself, sometimes more successfully than other times, that when dealing with a big tangled knot, it's important to not lose concentration on the thread you're pulling at, you've just got to have patience that if you handle it right it'll lead to the bigger solution.
Less talk, more healing, less wasted energy, deeper connections, that's what I want.

This is what I drove through for 2 hours. For a handful of pictures. Question my sanity? I did. In the putt putt mobile I was driving? Yup.

In the initial soil survey, this pedon was identified as a Wagram soil. However, when re-mapping or updating the correlation of a survey area, an observed profile may have properties that are on or very close to the boundary with similar soils questioning the need to correlate multiple soil series.
This is most commonly the result of observing the soils today at a much deeper depth that when originally mapped/observed. Often soil features may have been initially missed because they were simply below the standard auger depth used at the time.
This is an example of a soil profile from Duplin County, NC that I photographed a few years ago while conducting a field review. It is very close to four different soil series.
The critical properties relevant to correlation/classification are thickness of the sandy surface layers (more or less than 50 centimeters) and depth to 5 percent or more plinthite (more or less than 150 centimeters).
Norfolk soils have less than 50 centimeters of sandy surface layers and less than 5 percent plinthite within 60 inches from the soil surface. (soilseries.sc.egov.usda.gov/OSD_Docs/N/NORFOLK.html)
Dothan soils have less than 50 centimeters surface layers and more than 5 percent plinthite within 60 inches from the soil surface. (soilseries.sc.egov.usda.gov/OSD_Docs/D/DOTHAN.html)
Wagram soils have more than 50 centimeters of sandy surface layers and less than 5 percent plinthite within 60 inches from the soil surface. (soilseries.sc.egov.usda.gov/OSD_Docs/W/WAGRAM.html)
Fuquay soils have more than 50 centimeters of sandy surface layers and more than 5 percent plinthite within 150 centimeters from the soil surface. (soilseries.sc.egov.usda.gov/OSD_Docs/F/FUQUAY.html)
In this profile the sandy surface layer extends to a depth of about 50 centimeters and the depth to more than 5 percent plinthite is about 150 centimeters.
What is the correct soil series? And if all four soils are present within the map unit, what would be the appropriate map unit name? Additional soils are added to the map unit name based on quantity, the degree of contrast, and amount of limitation.
Welcome to the world of soil correlation—
Based on transect data and additional very deep observations, it was recommended to correlate this pedon in a consociation of Fuquay soil with the other soils identified as “inclusions”.

My take on this impressive and thought provoking contemporary sculpture.
Gazing down upon those visiting it, 20 foot tall Knife Angel was constructed in 2018 by Alfie Bradbury. It aims to promote an anti violence, anti aggression ethos. I hope people are listening.
Here we see a questioning, desperately sad face of an angel statue along with some of the 100,000 knives which form its fabric. They include kitchen knives, horrifying in their ordinariness, flick knives, samurai swords and homemade weapons. The knives were donated by 43 police forces in the UK, some obtained via knife amnesties, others delivered still in their evidential packaging. Perhaps the boys 'n girls in blue were making a point. If so, it's a very valid one; valid enough to be included on the project's online publicity, as is the fact that some blades were stained, apparently by blood.
All the blades used were sterilised and blunted. The 150,000 donated blades that could not be used were recycled.
Ben Kinsella, aged 16, was killed in 2008 by a knife wielded by a group of thugs he had never met who mistook him for someone else. There but for The Grace of God go any of us. In 2009 three young men were convicted of his murder, each receiving life imprisonment with a minimum tariff of 19 years and upward.
I've checked the website of the trust set up in Ben's name. It notes that in the 12 months from March 2022 there was a 5% increase in knife crime; that the police recorded 50,489 knife offences over the same period; and that that represents a 75% increase over the previous 10 years. The operative word here is "recorded". Knife crime is one of those crimes which police tend not to be told about; they usually discover it for themselves unless someone gets hurt. Remember, those involved in criminality may resolve their differences in a rather more robust manner than do the rest of us. Knife carriers themselves get hurt, or worse. Circumstances where a person, suffering from knife wounds, self presents or is summarily presented by others at hospital are far from unknown and when police are called the officer may be given pretty short shrift. Reporting incidents to the police may result in one's own activities being scrutinised, so an injured criminal may seek and apply very directly their own form of justice, and so we go on. The statistics therefore are difficult to interpret but they represent deeply worrying criminality around crimes which largely remain hidden either until knives are used or until the police discover them through their own proactivity such as stop and search. There's a whole contentious debate to be had there, so let's start one.
Proactive cops, keeping us safe by taking knives from and arresting those who may well be minded to (or even on their way to) use them deserve far more of our thanks and admiration than they usually get for the physical, mental, legal and reputational risks they take on our behalf. Any blade they seize may represent lives saved, but as we can never know what has been prevented, none of us can know that we should be particularly grateful to individual officers for the world of pain they may have saved us. Nevertheless, there are those who protest loudly, perhaps due to injured feelings (bless them!); as a routine tactic to obstruct police; to reflect their own personal agendas (some simply don't like police, and it ain't compulsory to do so); or perhaps they are simply members of the 'how dare police talk to me' set. It's an unavoidable fact that when police police, someone will be on the receiving end of it. The trick is to make sure that that someone is the right someone, but certainty is an elusive concept in life. The law accepts this, requiring officers, using their discretion, to act only upon 'reasonable grounds to suspect' that they will find what they are looking for. Suspicion incidentally falls way below certainty; it is actually quite a low bar. You will note that the word 'evidence', beloved of the tedious bar room lawyers our police officers routinely encounter, is not even mentioned in that test. Those who don't believe that should Google PACE, and look up section one of the Police And Criminal Evidence Act 1984. Others who believe that police should be right (whatever that is) 100% of the time and should be out there "chasing real criminals" rather than causing minor inconvenience to them should reflect that even a Michelin ten star omelet needs eggs to be broken first. Rant over.
Happily, as I took this photo, two cops had incorporated Knife Angel into their patrol, and dear wife was shamelessly chatting them up. Good for her, and stay safe guys.
Knife Angel is presently in Colchester as part of a nationwide tour. Its website will tell you if it will visit your town. The photo was taken as shown, with loads of processing necessary to lift a rather flat initial image. That included darkening the background, playing with highlights and shadows, enhancing colours and some experimentation with Photoshop adjustment layers.
