Série feita na travessia de barca do Rio para Paquetá que registra a fascinação das crianças pela viagem "na janela" ou "na varanda" da embarcação sentindo no rosto a brisa do caminho e aproveitando cada minuto da viagem.
São os casos em que a viagem pode ser mais interessante que o destino. Pelo menos para os pequenos.
And all my uphill clawing
My dear
But if i make
The pearly gates
Do my best to make a drawing
Of God and Lucifer
A boy and girl
An angel kissin on a sinner
A monkey and a man
A marching band
All around the frightened trapeze swinger

When I was twenty years old, I spent the entire fall semester of my junior year in college studying art history in Florence, Italy. I walked past the Duomo (Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower) every day. Most days I tried to quickly navigate my way through the square to get to class on time but I remember one particular day telling myself to slow down, look around and take it all the amazing sights I walked past every day in the lovely city of Firenze.
Remember...
Why we have what we have...
What it cost others to give them to us...
What it costs others so we may keep them...
What it would cost to lose them....

Tulips like these reach their peak bloom in mid-to-late April, depending on the weather and temperature. And about a week later, they're gone ...
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
Oh, one last thing: I've created a customized Google Map to show the precise details of each day's photo-walk. I'll be updating it each day, and the most recent part of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see where I've been, by clicking on this link

If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...
I remember being a kid, comparing the dates on pennies in my pocket, with a friend. "Whoooaaa...1968! That's an old penny!". (I was easily amused and amazed as a child) I kind of had that same feeling with this church...whooooooaaaa 1321! The Dom Church in Utrecht, Netherlands.

OMG he sooooo big! Remember that little Toller pup photo I posted back in November? Here he is again at 5 months.
Monday I got a call from Christopher's breeder, she wanted to know if I could watch this little guy for while and possibly start showing him for her, I'm allowed to keep him if I want but for now I agreed to watch over him. So I picked up Chris today and I already find myself falling in love... He is a doll, following me around the house, sleeping at my feet when I'm at the computer, and sucking up to Eve. Hina thinks he is just too cool!

watched from our hotel room in Ho Chi Minh as the woman across the street prayed to her ancestors. It was fascinating and something I really love and respect about Asian cultures. Ancestors should never be forgotten
Visitatore, osserva le vestigia di questo campo e medita.
Da qualunque parte tu venga, tu non sei estraneo,
Fa’ che il tuo viaggio non sia stato inutile, che non sia inutile la nostra morte.
Per te e per i tuoi figli, le ceneri di Auschwitz valgano di ammonimento,
Fa’ che il frutto orrendo dell’odio, di cui qui ...hai visto le tracce, non dia nuovo seme né domani né mai!
(Primo Levi)
I just had to scan in this Pentax shot to remind myself.
(also, I have to find a camera battery, since the light meter isn't working. I miss shooting film.)
Yes, this place is called Friggie-Fraggen. There is some mystery about the name but it may well be more to do with the people who lived there, not the actual croft. One crofter, Bob Brandie, who rented this place in 1950s, remembers being snowed in for nine weeks! By the way, my tripod was place in 3" of cow shit to take this shot - i hope it was worth it.
Last Miss H picture from Montreal... I forgot to upload it!
I think it's taken near the boardwalk... I remember that there was a Segway rental place nearby... oh I was so tempted to ride one of those things *__*

Back in Time Live event, The Avenue, Manchester, UK
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. The Virginia Beach Fraternal Order of Police hosts this annual memorial service as a tribute to all local law enforcement officers that have died in the line of duty in service to the City of Virginia Beach.
Reminder: Flags should be flown at half-staff on May 15th
This tribute to American law enforcement officers is part of the historic crime bill that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1994. At the request of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, Public Law 103-322 designates Peace Officers Memorial Day as one of only two days each year during which government agencies, businesses and residents are to fly their U.S. flags at half-staff.
“Just as we honor those who died in military service each Memorial Day, our nation pauses each May 15th to show its appreciation for the more than 20,000 men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our communities and safeguarding our democracy here at home,” said Craig W. Floyd, Memorial Fund Chairman and CEO. “Lowering flags to half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day is also a way to remember the family members, friends and colleagues these brave American heroes left behind.”

"Welcome to this most sacred site! A place of healing, prayer, and peace honoring the innocent victims who died on September 11, 2001.
This memorial combines steel from the North Tower Building of the World Trade Center and bells from the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity’s Seminary in Monroe, Virginia. The structure is an extension of God’s magnificent natural beauty, a place of great reverence and sacredness.
The bells were originally blessed and installed in 1960 at the Seminary and rang there until 1973. They have been silent since then. Bells have always been significant in calling people. These bells will ring out calling all people to pray and work faithfully for world peace, so that these victims will not have died in vain. This Tower of Remembrance emerging from the rubble of violence will remind us that in God there is hope; that as we remember, we heal. The name of each innocent victim who died at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in the field in Pennsylvania is inscribed on the memorial walls.
The Tower of Remembrance is a place where everyone can reflect on the sacredness of lives remembered. A bell tolls forty-six minutes after each hour starting at 8:46 A.M. and ending at 8:46 P.M. It tolls four times in remembrance of the lives lost at the North Tower, at the South Tower, at the Pentagon, and in the field in Pennsylvania.
The Tower of Remembrance at the Shrine of St. Joseph was dedicated on July 13, 2002. Led by Fr. Peter Krebs, S.T., Director of the Shrine, victims families, area clergy and the Shrine staff all took part in the prayerful ceremony dedicating the Tower as an enduring memorial to all of the innocent victims of the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001 on the United States and its people."
