Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes and I am left the same. The more things change the more I am the same. I am what I started with, and when it is all over I will be all that is left of me.

Like most of you, December is a bit of a hectic month for me so hopefully I will get to see all of your images as quick as I can. In the meantime, I will thank you now in advance for having a peak at my images here.

North Macedonia
Veljusa.
Veljusa Monastery is located in the village having the same name as the monastery, 7km from the city of Strumica. It is one of the most valuable symbols of the orthodoxy in the Republic of Macedonia. The exceptional church is dedicated to the Holy Mother of God Eleusa, meaning “showing mercy”. It abounds with remarkable frescos originating from two periods, from the foundation of the church in 1080 and from the 12th century as well. Among them, the one of a kind fresco is showing Jesus Christ Emanuel as a twelve-year-old child. Many centuries of existence of the monastery, make it one of the most significant ecclesiastical and cultural centers, not only in the country, but also on the Balkans. Once, it used to be a home of monks, but since 1996 and with the renewal of the monastic life it became a female monastery. Today, there is a sisterhood of around ten nuns whose day starts and ends with a prayer. Their communication is minimal, but with the host sister responsible for the visitors you are going to feel more than welcome in this holy quiet place situated in an incredible scenic area. The sisterhood is responsible for the maintenance of the Macedonian Orthodox Church Website. Another feature that distinguishes this monastery from the rest in the country, is the secret hidden inside the seamstress workshop where the nuns are making the hand-decorated cassocks for the Orthodox clergy.

Goddess and modeling the new Sony A7R ! Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess Shooting Stills (Sony A7R with 35mm F/2.8 Carl Zeiss Lens) & Video (Sony NEX6) at the same time with the 45surfer philosophy bracket! I use it on every shoot, as there is so much beauty in the world and so little time! :) Writing a book on it! :)
Here's some video shot at the same time as stills using a Sony A7R for the video camera:

Photos shot with the Nikon D800E and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens with the B W 77mm XS-Pro Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating filter. I always, always shoot with a CP filter--even on cloudy days!
Enjoy the pretty goddesses and all the best on your epic hero's journey!
Modeling the black & gold & American flag "Gold 45 Revolver" 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!
The models were tall, thin, fit, and gorgeous beach goddesses! A blond and a brunette with long, long silky hair! Poseidon would approve! If he were shooting them, he'd want to capture simultaneous photographic stills and video at the same time too.
Best on your hero's journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
Falling in love with the full frame 36 megapixel e mount Sony A7R! The models make pretty photographers. :)
Same image but with Topaz Adjust's Psychedelic and Simple Pop filters. I wanted to try and see if I could give this image more of a painted look/feel.
The Amber Shadow has the same modular configuration as the Ellaria. By default the Amber Shadow consists of the forward section containing the bridge, bunks, refresher, reliquary, and the main corridor opening up to the boarding ramp. The mid section being a dual bay cargo hold, with extendable loading ramps, complete with a plethora of tools/maintenance equipment, weapons, secret storage compartments, as well as 2 Jetpack charging/upgrade stations. The rear section consists of a small cargo hold and engineering containing the 2 primary thrusters, as well as an additional boarding/cargo ramp. Each section of the Ellaria and Amber Shadow are interchangeable as needed.
Amber Shadow Loadout:
• A deployable heavy fighter, the Shadow Dart, equipped with quad laser cannons and two proton torpedoes. It can be controlled by the Amber Shadow when connected, adding to the ship’s firepower.
• Dual forward-facing 6-barreled gatling blaster cannons.
• Two shield projectors mounted on the forward wings.
• Four dual-barreled Point Defense Cannons (PDCs) atop the cargo hold doors.
• Deployable from a hatch below the bridge: 6-14 Spider-like infiltrator drones with micro boosters and a variety of tools for independent or coordinated operations. These drones stealthily infiltrate target ships to hack systems, disable external components, conduct reconnaissance, or neutralize targets with stun blasters when needed.
I am often in awe as well as envious of images that some people take of Jumpies, no doubt the most adorable spiders around. Although definitely not in the same league as many others I am quite happy with this one that visited my arm one afternoon.
Since I took up photography in 2009 I reckon I've come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Building three or four times and I always end up taking the same scene looking out towards Mt. Fuji. I haven't gotten any better at shooting the scene; it's just my tastes which have changed.

Made this exposure at the same time as the earlier two. I was able to catch this striped Skink just emerging from the mulch around a small flower bed. The iPhone 16 Pro allows for amazing close-up photography. For scale, that’s small mulch below this critter.
NOTE: for the time being I am moving away from creating frames for my photos. It’s gotten to be burdensome and the actual widths vary with the size of the image. That leaves an uneven feel to the photos when viewed on a page together.
Tall, tan, and fit swimsuit bikini model goddess! Testing some new video channels for the epic Hero's Journey Mythology bikini swimsuit model photoshoots, where you can view videos shot at the same time as stills:
Follow me! Let me know which ones your like best! :)
A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour. Just like Helen of Troy, she's worth fighting a ten year war for! :)
Got a brand new Prime Lens--the Carl Zeiss Sony Alpha e-mount FE 55mm F/1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* Lens! Let me know how you like it! :)
Sony A7 R Test Photos of Bikini Swimsuit Model Goddess! Pretty, pretty, pretty woman! Shot with the awesomely sharp, sharp Carl Zeiss Sony Sonnar Sony FE 55 mm F/1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* Lens and finished in Lightroom 5.3 ! Was using the B W 49mm Kaesemann Circular Polarizer MRC Filter on bright, sunny day. Check out the low glare off the rocks and water and the bright blue sky! Super sharp images and crystal-clear pictures!
Beautiful swimsuit bikini model goddess on a beautiful January Malibu morning! Shot it yesterday. :) Love, love, love the new Sony A7 R 55mm F/1.8 lens combo!
Was a fun test shoot. Many, many more to come!
All the best on your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

The books behind the pretty goddess on the Malibu beach hut and surfboard are The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, Homer's Iliad, Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare, and Herman Melville's Moby Dick! My favorite books! Will have some video of the pretty model reading them beside a campfire soon.
They're all collectors editions! My books cost as much as my surfboards!
And for those who always ask, I shoot in RAW! Always! :)

Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here...
--Pink Floyd 'Wish You Were Here'
I love visiting Shenandoah National Park (SNP) here in Virginia. It is about a 45 minute ride for me to get to the Northern Entrance at Front Royal, which to some may seem like a long ride, but not to me.
SNP is a beautiful National Park, not one that has the 'Grandness' of a Yosemite or Yellowstone with its magestic mountains or waterfalls, but the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley offer something totally different in their own beauty and tranquility to visitors here.
Ever since I 'really' started coming into this park a few years ago when I moved to the Winchester area I feel like when I take images from here they are the 'same old thing', whether just overlook hopping or hiking.
Which brings me to that Pink Floyd song 'Wish You Were Here'. The line 'Running over the same old ground, the same old fears' plays through my thoughts as I drive along the Skyline Drive looking for inspiration to capture this beauty in a different way than I previously have. So that is it in a nutshell, I am on a quest of sorts to try to change the way I capture the beauty of this park that I love so much.
As the summer rolls into Autumn I am hoping to spend some time on the weekends shooting quite a bit of fresh images from here and processing them in a series of B&W images. I think for me, that is where I can show my vision of this beautiful place.
Thanks for letting me share my thoughts and ramble on a bit.
Okay, so here's the story: When i was in junior high, i used to talk to this boy on the phone like every single day. And since we didn't have a cordless phone in our house, this means i would spend hours perched on a stool in the kitchen, with my feet propped up on the stove, just talking about...well, nothing, probably...until my parents made me hang up. Now flash forward like 15 years or something, and suddenly i'm spending hours on the phone with this very same boy, still talking about pretty much nothing, and sort of loving how familiar and comfortable it feels. And so even though i have a cordless phone now, and a cell phone, and i can talk where i want and when i want, i still get this urge sometimes to climb up onto the counter and put my feet on the stove and talk to him until my parents scream at me to do my homework. It's kind of the highlight of my day.
That little tale was so disturbingly cute that i just grossed myself out. Yuck.

Macedon.
Major Thomas Mitchell named Mount Macedon and the district on his Australia Felix explorations of 1836. He named it after the realm of Phillip the second of Macedon (359-336 BC). From this summit he saw a magnificent bay which he named at the same time- Port Phillip Bay. White settlement of the area began in the 1850s. This small town of Macedon which should not be confused with Mount Macedon township was created in 1860 as work proceeded with the Melbourne to Bendigo railway. A small hotel was built in1860 opposite the proposed site of the railway siding which is about 1,700 feet ( ) above sea level. Originally this district was known as Middle Gully and there had been a small gold find here in the 1850s. Within a few years of the train service beginning the name was changed to Macedon and in the 1870s the nearby area of Mount Macedon became a summer retreat or “hill station” area for the wealthy of Melbourne wanting to escape the summer heat. Most of these people arrived at the Macedon railway station before their staff took them by coach to their summer retreat. Consequently Macedon town grew with a school, stores several churches and a State Forest nursery in the 1870s. Little further development occurred after that. Much of the town was devastated by the Ash Wednesday bushfires of 1983 but rebuilding took place. The nearby settlement of Mount Macedon began as a timber felling area and a school opened here in 1857 but by the 1870s most of the good timber had been felled and the area was developed as the Mt Macedon hill station. One of the first to build a mansion in the area was David Syme one of the the proprietor of the Melbourne Age who built his house in 1869. Others soon followed his lead. Syme’s mansion was acquired by the Victorian government in 1886 as a summer retreat for the state Governor. It was used by Victorian governors until it was sold in 1934. The exclusive nature of Mount Macedon changed a little in the 1920s and 1930s when some commuters began live there, holiday guest houses appeared for the middling classes and stores and churches were built. In 1935 a World War One soldiers memorial was erected on the summit and a tourist road made to provide access. Today some of the grand and not so grand houses have opened their gardens to the public for their fine display of spring bulbs and blossoms and autumn coloured leaves. The high altitude and rainfall still makes Mount Macedon a gardener’s paradise as the area was once described as Victoria’s “Garden of Eden”. The cemetery at Macedon ended up being the resting place for locals and some of the notables from Melbourne who spent their holidays there.
Same as rings and brooches, it's enough to have these long thin lego "platforms" and to combine with different shapes, sizes and colours.

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 11 RAWS/second! Ideal for shooting Kelly Slater & Pro ASP Surfers carving waves and landing airs!
Same place as the adjacent, wide angle shot, but I made this with a 105mm macro lens + 1.4x teleconverter + tripod. Some little flowering plant, perhaps an aster species, frozen in the stream. Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan.
