Another reject of today. I always wanted to do a shot in the bathroom. But I guess it's just to naked for me. :)
Screw you iStockPhoto.
All four photos I submitted were rejected. For various reasons, some being:
- We could not find a clear center focal point for this file.
- The overuse of a noise reduction process /application/ RAWsettings has too severely degraded quality and removed detail.
- This file contains artifacting when viewed at full size. This technical issue is commonly created by the quality settings in-camera, in post-processing or in RAWsettings. Artifacting may be the result of other factors such as excessive level adjustments.
- We found this file over filtered from its original appearance/quality.
So the three photos that got me into iStockPhoto, weren't good enough to be accepted?
Right....
Screw you iStockPhoto.
i think my hair is getting a little out of control. time for a haircut?? the thought of it terrifies me. haha.
Looking through archives again. I rejected this a while back...but it's grown on me. It's also making me sleepy - I need a nice warm bed to fall into right about now. Night night!

looking for love in all the wrong places... ;)
(i look like a child in this one - just snapped it while i was rolling over and poof - baby!)
The castle of Maddaloni.
Built during the Roman Empire.
Fortified and enlarged by Roger II of Sicily in 1134.
Raided and set on fire by Ferdinand of Aragon in 1460.
Taken back to its old magnificence by Dukes of Carafa until the end of Bourbon Kingdom of Naples.
Occupied by the troops of Garibaldi in 1860, and then abandoned.
Sacked and plundered by Allies of World War II.
Now abandoned and giving way.
People of Maddaloni will regret about that when it will collapse once and for all.
Maddaloni, South Italy.

“From the Great Above the goddess opened her ear to the Great Below…
My Lady abandoned heaven and earth to descend to the underworld…”
On our journey to psychospiritual wholeness, our descent into the underworld is a necessary rite of passage — and one that we repeat throughout our lives. Cyclically, we face the parts of ourselves that have been rejected and abandoned, acknowledging our pain and nursing ourselves through the sorrows of shame and rejection. When we strip ourselves naked, relinquishing our adornments and amulets of protection, we awaken to the deep reservoirs of our power, which often lie dormant within our long-suppressed dreams and desires. We recall our instinctive knowing of death and rebirth. We remember that we are destruction and creation all at once. Yet as important as it is for us to descend and to honor the rituals of death, we must also beware not to remain stuck, our corpse left to rot in the underworld. When we integrate our shadow, do we not emerge from darkness? When we empathize with our suffering, do we not remember we are worthy of the crown?
The ancient myth of the Sumerian Goddess Inanna (or the Mesopotamian Ishtar, associated with the planet Venus) teaches us that YES. The miracle of The Ascent is what follows the integration of our discarded selves. When we can honor every aspect of ourselves as holy, we too arise as both the Queen of the Great Above, and the Queen of the Great Below.
“I am holy when I am naked, and I am holy when I am clothed.
I am holy when I am intoxicated, and I am holy when I am sober.
I am holy when I indulge, and I am holy when I abstain.
I am holy when I am fierce, and I am holy when I am calm.
I am holy when I am desired, and I am holy when I am rejected.
I am holy when others see me, and I am holy when they do not.”
