I was so lucky to have a visit from my friend Natasha, who I haven't seen since 2003!
Natasha and her husband, Victor, came to live across the road from us from Moscow, and we were neighbours for around 10 years. Natasha quickly became one of my best friends, and we were soul-mates, sharing all our ups and downs. But she and her family emigrated to Canada in 2001, and I missed them so much. The last time I saw Natasha was in 2003.
(Thanks to JJ for taking these shots!)

Time really do pass one by so quickly...
One has to live it while one can!
I'm guilty of not doing that!
Just wanted to upload a simple shot today...
Used very little texture...
Hope you're all having a nice and sunny day! If not... I can't do anything about it :)

Lady carrying a child runs across a busy road in Silay City, Philippines, but at least found time to smile.
My first video. I didn't want it to be just me staring at the camera, so I edited it into a little story. The full video is here:

Update: I just realized I didn't fade the music at the end. I should have just stared at the camera.
After a 6 month layoff my confidence is very low (its to be expected). I wanted to drop off some ill-fitting clothes at a street side charity depot and plucked up the courage to do this while dressed. It was really just 10 minutes in the car (you feel so safe in the car) there and back and I stopped on the way home to get a picture. Sorry I look a bit tense and awkward probably because I am.
ELEGANT WRITER PEN..QUICK SNOW SCENE SKETCH
This was completed entirely with ONE pen...The Elegant Writer Pen.
I have been using this Pen for at least 6 years, incorporating it into almost 200 of my Mixed Media Paintings..and have even painted some entirely with it, like this one.
In questi giorni, un po' così, ho del tanto agognato tempo da dedicare alla postproduzione rigorosamente dall'archivio. Rovisto in elenco... V di Volpe: ok.
Ogni scatto mi riporta alla mente i momenti vissuti e la felicità dell'essere lì in quel preciso istante.
Novembre 2016, Val di Fassa, Trentino.
During my late teens I spent some time working for a local pizza joint. One night a guy came in and asked me if I could give him change for a twenty. I complied and counted out the smaller bills. While I was counting the dough, he asked me if I could give him a couple of fives in place of the ten. All the time he kept up a lively banter. When I'd finished the transaction, he pulled out another twenty and said he forgot he had to pay some money to a friend and would appreciate change for that one too. I sighed and counted out the bills. All the while he kept up the cheerful conversation and once again he asked me to break down one of the tens. Then he asked me to give him a few bucks worth of quarters for the cigarette machine and that was it.
The next morning the manager of the store informed me that I was twenty bucks short when the receipts were tallied up. I knew immediately that I'd been had. To this day I'm not sure how the guy conned me, but con me he did.
Seeing the shady looking guy above at one of counters at the Ferry Building brought back some serious memories.

I thought saints were born saints, I looked in the dirt and found wisdom is learnt through a costly process of success and failure.
Making some quick block books to fil the shelves. My thinking is the buyer can toss these out as they fill the shelves with individual books.

Never underestimate the cunning, drive and guile of these little green monsters! They will do ANYTHING in order to catch a fish! While attempting to approach this Greenie without frightening him off he repeatedly dove into the water to snatch a fish and then few back to his favorite perch in this old tree lodged in the open area of Horsepen Bayou! These captures are not sequential but will give everyone some idea of just how far these extremely entertaining birds will go for a catch! Sorry for the multiple posts but you'll get the picture! I might also add that my reactions and ability to anticipate his moves lag far behind his actions!

I was late for an appointment so took this as I was heading to my car. I thought this could be a good test of how the camera handles the sun in the frame. Really pretty good I would say. Just a dot of flare and little loss of contrast.
Now that everyone is back at work after spending the holidays with their loved ones they are now also back on the roads at 5pm making my commute an hour of bumper-to-bumper hell!
I hadn't took the pen out for a while so i figured i would switch it up and take out the epl-1 for a quick session :-) Was a fun, last minute and random shoot that went very well except for the fact that i got home and realized i was shooting in jpeg the whole time! lol Oh well!
