a small painted book

I finally got my new smartphone up and running. This time I went for a Samsung A35. I've had it with Motorolas. The batteries on mine (the last one was the fifth) kept swelling up and pushing the backing almost off. If this should happen with the Samsung then maybe I should try to find out what's wrong with me.

In any case, it appears the new phone and camera has much better detail and color saturation, not to mention having a better exposure latitude.

Phase 2

Same night same rain as the other shot but, slightly different time.

Mellow Yellow

As I type it is -11C feels like -19C or for those on the Fahrenheit scale that is 12F feels like -2F. We are getting the cold moving in from the west but it should be "warming up" starting Monday according to the weather network.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments and visits although I may not get back to you quickly but I will try. Stay warm folks!

Christian testimonies | Almighty God’s Work Has Caused Us to Walk the Same Path as Husband and Wife

As we continued talking, my husband took a book out and said, “These are the words that came out of Almighty God’s mouth, let’s read them together!” So, we began to read God's word together, “Regardless of what religion you belong to, ultimately you will all submit under the dominion of God. Only God Himself can carry out this work; it cannot be done by any religious head. There are several major religions in the world, and each has its own head, or leader, and the followers are spread across different countries and regions all over the world; every country, be it large or small, has different religions within it. However, regardless of how many religions there are across the world, all people within the universe ultimately exist under the guidance of one God, and their existence is not guided by religious heads or leaders. Which is to say that mankind is not guided by a particular religious head or leader; instead the whole of mankind is led by the Creator, who created the heavens and earth, and all things, and also created mankind—and this is a fact. Although the world has several major religions, regardless of how great they are, they all exist under the dominion of the Creator, and none of them can exceed the scope of this dominion. The development of mankind, social progress, the development of natural sciences—each is inseparable from the arrangements of the Creator, and this work is not something that can be done by a particular religious head. Religious heads are merely the leaders of a particular religion, and cannot represent God, or the One who created the heavens and earth and all things. Religious heads can lead all those within the entire religion, but cannot command all creatures beneath the heavens—this is a universally acknowledged fact. Religious heads are mere leaders, and cannot stand equal to God (the Creator). All things are in the hands of the Creator, and in the end they will all return to the hands of the Creator. Mankind was originally made by God, and regardless of the religion, every person will return under the dominion of God—this is inevitable” (“Knowing the Three Stages of God’s Work Is the Path to Knowing God” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). I silently listened to God’s words. A warm feeling rushed into my heart. This really was God’s voice. ……

This set mixes it up a bit with both a pretty blonde and brunette goddess! You can see them both modeling the Gold 45 Revolver swimsuits as well as a 45SURFER camera bracket mount for shooting stills & video at the same time.

Here's some epic video of the beautiful goddesses:

Shot in both RAW & JPEG, but all these photos are RAWs finished in Lightroom 4 ! :)

All the Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:

herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!

Modeling both the the Gold 45 Revolver(TM) Gold'N'Virtue(TM) Black Bikini and the Red, White, an Blue American flag bikini!

May the HJM Goddesses guide, inspire, and exalt ye along yer heroic artistic journey! all the bets on your Heroic Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

Ralph Waldo Emerson’un “başarı nedir?” sorusuna verdiği bir cevap vardı:

(The quotation on success of R.W.Emerson's)

- Sık ve çok gülümseyebiliyorsan,

(To laugh often and much;)

- Akıllı insanların saygısını, çocukların sevgisini kazanabiliyorsan,

(To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;)

- Dürüst eleştirmenlerin takdirini alabiliyorsan,

(To earn the appreciation of honest critics )

- Sahte dostlarının ihanetine katlanabiliyorsan,

(and endure the betrayal of false friends;)

- Güzelin değerini biliyorsan,

( To appreciate beauty )

- Diğer kişilerde en iyiyi bulabiliyorsan,

(... to find the best in others;)

- Daha iyi bir dünya için geride ister sağlıklı bir çocuk, ister iyileştirilen bir sosyal durum, ister ufak bir parça yeşil bahçe bırakabiliyorsan,

(To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;)

- Tek bir kişi bile olsa, biri senin varlığından ötürü daha rahat nefes alabiliyorsa…

(To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived....)

(+ Paylaştığın bi resim bi kişi tarafından bakılıyorsa... :)

İşte bu başarmış olmaktır.

(This is to have succeeded.)

At the 1966 Turin Show Fiat exhibited the Dino Spider. The engine was inspired in its general architecture by the famous Ferrari Dino V6, used in the car of the same name, and later in the Lancia Stratos. The body was designed and manufactured by Pininfarina. There was also a closed version, the Dino Coupé, produced by Bertone. It had the same specification, but a longer wheelbase. In 1969 engine capacity was raised to 2.418 cc producing 180 hp. It took some time before the classic market recognized their potential.

July 2024

I went on a walk today (11/11/2016). It was a melancholic journey. Why? you may ask. It started out as just an ordinary walk, where I dip my toe in the other world between time. Now, I believe in the purpose of everything that happens, so I followed my conscience in this matter.

There he sat! One homeless black man. As I passed by, I knew that I knew him. It was in Jr. High School. Yes, it is you! So, many years ago, and my memory is vivid, we were in school together. Why, would I remember him? Because, he is the one that accused me of calling him a "dirty Mexican." Yes, it was after school, we met to settle the score....but the truth is, I would never say such a thing,

What is the lasting trauma of such an event on a young mind? We fought outside the school yard and it was far from a fair fight. People of color surrounded me...and began to kick me...this didn't seem fair...why was I hated so? We continued to fight for what felt like an eternity...and there seemed to be no end-yet there was an end...without going through all the gory details, I will say that part of my innocents was lost on that particular day.

Yes, I now knew what "reality" was. From then on, I would hate reality. As you can guess, I survived this encounter, but I was changed forever....

So, now me and Johnny are talking, during this unexpected encounter. Do you remember me? I ask. I say "I remember you." He said no! I then asked him his age...check...we are the same age....where did you go to middle school....check..."now do you remember me?" and the answer was "yes." Reality is confirmed! And, we continued to talk. I notice his reality....he has a tracheotomy...and he tells me that his mother died when he was 13. Now, I am hearing his story...and a wounded heart...mine...is open to understanding.

What is the moral of this story? I open my wallet and hand him $25.00 bucks...and say, I forgive you...my friend....and I see you! I will also see you next week, and the following week....and the following week!

Now, what does that have to to with the picture that I have taken? I see Johnny....I see Johnny...I acknowledge that he exists. He is somebody and he is now my friend. I am glancing over at the green fence...and one flower hanging on, in this November season. I see you Johnny! I see you! And I am a better person, because I see you....my Sophia.

I shot both stills & video at the same time during Lakey Peterson's record-setting heat at the pro women's Nike Hurley US Open Surfing contest in Huntington Beach!

Here's some of the video I shot with the above 45WINDSURF / 9SHOOTER rig:

Enjoy!

Nikon D4 with AF-S Nikkor 600mm f/4G ED VR & Video Camera @ Huntington Beach!

Shooting some video and photographic stills of surfers at the Nike US Open at Huntingon Beach!

I call the above combination the 45WINDSURFER as it lets you SURF the intermittent waves of stills photography, while catching the constant WIND of video. :) I shoot all my models with a variation of this setup too, using the D800 instead with the 70-200 mm VR2.

Here is my gear for tomorrow's finals:

Nikon D4 with AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR & Video Camera!

The AF-S NIKKOR

600mm f/4G ED VR is a high-speed, high-performance prime lens which features Nikon’s VR image stabilization and Nano Crystal Coat!

The Nikon D4 rocks! It focuses fast and continuously! It can shoot 12 RAWS/second! Ideal for shooting Kelly Slater pulling tricks!

The video camera is the amazing image-stabilized Panasonic X900MK 3MOS 3D Full HD SD Camcorder. The 3MOS Sensor splits the light information captured by the lens into the three primary colors - red, green and blue - and processes each color with its own individual sensor. This reduces light loss compared to the 1MOS sensor. Pixel Shift Technology, which took years to develop, provides a huge number of effective pixels for moving pictures – equivalent to four times the pixel count of Full-HD. This technology renders ultrafine images with excellent color reproduction and superb detail! It is built with an awesome F1.5 LEICA lens! The image stabilization is amazing on this, even at full zoom!

Using a rugged Manfrotto tripod and a Manfrotto Bogen tripod head!

Wish me luck @ the finals! :) Wish you could join me to shoot stills & video of the world's greatest surfers!

These pictures were shot with the Sony Alpha 65 (A65).

The panasonic camcorder shoots at 60P and I slow it down to 24P in post for slow motion!

A bit later in the day upon my return to the mud flats, the area was hosting some different occupants. This photo was taken looking east in the same area. A couple of alligators had claimed the area as their own and were soaking up the sun. The nearest alligator is likely a mature female in the seven-foot range. The one behind her is about nine feet in length. This is the same area that was occupied by the two Ibis and the Snowy that I posted yesterday. They were not the most cooperative pair of gators and slid into the water before I could get closer. I didn’t notice it when I was taking the capture, but the one in the background appears to have an injury just in back of his eye. Not enough dof to confirm that injury as I was focused on the one that was nearer to me.

Just a bit of a footnote. I was reluctant to post large photo after a company from China stole a number of my photos and had them posted one of their websites. I have started posting full size photos of some shots so that people can see a bit more detail in the alligators. As Sue noted, you can click on the large version to see the scales and the eye on this particular gator.

I’m still running behind as I has some business to take care of today but will get to everyone’s photos directly. Have a wonderful weekend.
