While I'd love to do them, I hardly ever get a chance to shoot candids .... but when I saw this girl from across the park .. solitary ... pensive .... full of grace ... and beauty ... and unaffected style ... I just had to try and capture all that .... happy that I did ...
Just a fun shoot from a couple months ago. On the west facing slope of Haleakala. You can see a bit of the West Maui's in the distance. This was probably at about 6-7k feet of elevation.

Quick! Christmas Bear is cold after his long stay in the big, cold, snowy forest. I'll get a warm hat and a soft blanket. Oh, and I know, I'll prepare some hot chocolate. I need... let's see... cocoa powder (with honey in it!!), milk, a nice spoon to stir it... Mummy will help me microwave it when it's read... NO, Cat! It's not for you! It's for Christmas Bear! I said NO, Cat! Shoo! *Waves paws.* Don't drink that! *Wipes his forehead with paw.* Phew. I don't know how my mummy manages to eat her breakfast everyday with that Cat around. But don't worry, Christmas Bear, we'll get you your hot chocolate!
Brunswick, Victoria. I just took this while seated waiting for my daughter who was looking for clothing for a theatre production. I had been through earlier buying up a pile of second hand British crime novels (Ian Rankin, PD James and Ruth Rendell)
The antique clamp is holding together the gluing of a leg of an Victorian foot stool. The leg is made from walnut and has a crack going vertical almost the entire way. It mended great! I used for a background an antique wooden cask that I believe would have been used in a hardware store back in the day for selling nails. It is held together by steel bands and wire.

the image that is posted here bears only a slight resemblance to the image i had in my mind when i went about my merry little way to purchase some rainbow colored balloons.
i was meant to have heaps more balloons than this and this was meant to be in a park with beautiful skies filled with clouds. and i envisioned something more like a one sheet for a film (the theatrical poster they use in the theaters that are lit from behind and are a touch better brighter more fantasy than the regular flat poster. sort of).
i thought i'd include my hand. have the ribbons twisted around my wrist and the rainbow strips cascading to the ground, gracefully. and the massive amount of balloons. like they could carry me away.
instead it was about 97 degrees in Hollywood, which broke a record for that day. there was no way to have one balloon, let alone heaps of them survive inside a super hot car ride (air conditioning can only do so much for the delicate little things). clearly, the park was out.
then sky was just all endless blue. you know those amazing skies you see on Flickr? the ones filled with colorful, thick, amazing clouds? yeah, we don't really get those in LA.
and it was windy as well, another anomaly for this time of year, causing the balloons to tangle up.
and the store had only a few of the sort of balloons i wanted. i left with 7.
and i ended up trying to take my photos on this little no-name, sort of run down side street in east Hollywood.
after trying out several "ideas" for Interesting Photo Ever, nothing was working. so i tied them to my left ankle, lifted it towards the sun, laid out flat on my back on a grungy SIDEWALK. with people watching, thinking i'd clearly gone mental, while attempting to wrangle them towards the sun with my other foot.
it was a bit of a mess.
so, i didn't get the shot i had conceived of. but surprisingly, i had fun. and eventually i will have heaps of balloons, just you wait! so, until then i have these 7 balloons plus flare (!!) and awesome brick-like textures.
the end.

what's left of a little urban forest and pond that doesn't feel very natural anymore... there used to be beavers and far more trees. large houses are to the left and truck parking & industry beyond. Maybe it will be better once things leaf out. I just don't know how much nature can be supported by these little isolated spots of green surrounded by urban sprawl & industry.

This morning's sunrise was breathtaking!
We had been up the coast at the beach house when there was a scheduled meet up of the Southeast Queensland Meet up Flickr group.
So being only a few minutes away from the meet at Shelly Beach, we easily made the 3am time.
The day before we had scouted the area, knowing that it was going to be dark with the lack of a moon and had already found what we hoped would be the "sweet spot" for the morning's shoot....
So while everyone else headed down around the bend near King's beach, we set up on Shelly.
The rocks were slippery with wet moss and a few times we were sure that we would slip, but eventually we got all things ready to go...now we waited for the magic.
The sun began to color sky as the clouds on the right began to drift into the shot...picking up the pinks and soon we had what we felt was the best conditions and just took shot after shot...
So many came out wonderfully.... we just could not choose....but this one, just as the sun was peaking over the horizon was our first fav and so we share it here with you...

Never let it be said that I didn't do my bit to keep the United Kingdom united.
If the Scottish Independence referendum results in a narrow NO vote... I will take full credit for saving the Union.
And if it's a YES... we start rebuilding Hadrian's Wall... pronto!
7:14pm
Guy Gardner's feet touched the ground as the faint glow of his ring faded. It was currently seven o'clock, Guy arriving at The Warriors after finishing his shift at the station. It had been a pretty quiet week, only paperwork really, but he was still pretty tired.
The Warriors was the perfect place to attend. It was a small bar located on the edge of Coast City, but boomed in business with it's superhero theme. The walls were lined with memorabilia and photos of different members of the Justice League, as well as heroes outside of it. Heroes weren't all though as The owner, Dell Meriwether, seemed to be obsessed with super people in general, having an entire half of the bar dedicated to villains.
Guy sluggishly pushed the door open, spotting the bartender with his signature wide grin. "Heya Lantern!" he exclaimed, getting a few heads to turn. Guy gave a small wave, walking over to a stool at the bar. "So, what'll you be having today?"
"Usual," he stated, turning his head to the small tv hanging on the wall. Footage of John, Doctor Polaris, and the copycat villain was playing, showing the original saving a bus full of people. His head turned once more upon the door opening. Stepping inside was a man in a black and blue suit, yellow lightning bolts running down the torso. "Look out guys, a big shot just walked in!"
"Oh ho ho," chuckled Jeff as he sat down next to the Lantern. "Someone still a little jealous they weren't asked to be on the Justice League?"
Guy waved his hand, "Me? Jealous? Nah. I'm a Green Lantern."
"A Green Lantern who's not on the Justice League," replied Jeff, who laughed at the grumble that came from Guy's mouth. "So how ya been man?"
Guy sighed as he looked into the newly placed glass of whiskey. "It's… it's been a bit rough," he admitted, taking another long breath. "Richie… he's a great kid, but it's like I'm running-"
"A triathlon of hero work, your job, and raising a kid?" Jeff suggested, gaining a nod from Guy. "Heh, yeah… it's definitely tough. Remember you got a support network, we're here for you."
Guy nodded, taking a sip from his glass. "I sometimes forget you got the same thing goin' for you," he responded, placing his glass down. "Superhero daycare, the two of us."
"Trust me, when I got a whole school full of potential metahumans, I can pass on that idea."
Both heroes laughed, clinking their glasses and downing another drink.
10:42pm
"And so I tell him, you're less of a Green Lantern, more like a Green Fat-tern," explained Guy to a bewildered Jeff, both too many beers in to count.
"No way," gasped Jeff, placing a hand over his mouth in disbelief. "Fat shaming is so rude though!"
Guy shook his head, waving his hand in front of his face. "No no no, it's okay cause he is a… a… a Kilowog."
"Oh… okay then, you're all good," informed Jeff, patting his friend on the back.
"Hey, you're Black Lightning and Green Lantern!" shouted a voice behind them. The two turned to see a man who looked to be homeless in a purple shirt with a blue hoodie on, his hair a dark brown. "I'm a big fan!"
Guy tilted his head before shooting a finger gun at the man, "Plug Boi!"
Jeff repeated the action, slurring, "Plug Boi… whatever that is."
The man tilted his head confused, but before he could ask Guy spoke, "Come sit down with us bud, drinks are on me!"
"Uh… sure?" the man responded, taking a seat next to the heroes.
Dell returned to the group upon seeing the new addition. "Who's the new guy?" he asked, pulling out his pen and paper.
"This right here is the Neal Emerson, aka Plug Boi!" announced Guy, throwing his arm around the man.
"Uh… my name is Allen," noted the man.
"That's what I said!" shouted Guy, taking a swig of the glass in front of him.
Dell shoved the pen and paper out to the man, a page ready with information on Doctor Polaris. "Sorry, but I've never had you here before," Dell apologized, rubbing the back of his head. "I'd love an autograph!"
"But I- sure."
1:17am
Guy, Jeff, and "Neal" all stumbled through Coast City Park, the three drunk beyond means. Anytime Jeff would burp or hiccup, his body would discharge a pulse of electricity, his mouth smoking each time. Guy's ring would create whatever he thought of, no mental block to stop it. "Neal" was only trailing behind.
"Wait!" Guy shouted upon hearing a rustle in the bushes, stop sign constructs erupting from his ring. "Look over there!"
The other two's eyes followed the arrow construct that pointed to the bush, watching it rustle. They all gave each other a look before creeping towards the hedge.
As they approached, the rustling grew louder, sending shivers down their spines. Guy raised his hand, a clock construct appearing. "three…" he started, holding up three fingers, "two… one!"
The three all charged the bush, watch as something blueish-grey popped out of the green. All of them looked at the small creature.
"Arkillo!?" shouted Guy, surprised by the appearance. "What are you doing here?"
"Meow."
"Hey, for a *hic*… for an alien monster man, that wasn't a bad impression," Jeff praised, fanning the smoke from his mouth.
"Meow."
"Alright then Arkillo, follow us to… uh… where are we going?" asked Guy, scratching his head and creating multiple question marks above his head.
Suddenly, the sound of a police siren went off, making all of them turn their heads.
"That way!" shouted "Neal", running towards the sirens.
1:25am
Damion Poitier, better known as the new criminal Bling, chuckled as the money was loaded into his bag. His partner and ex-cousin in-law Keith Kenyon, aka Goldface, was quickly making an escape for them. It was all the perfect plan, the cops couldn't get in because of the solid gold doors.
It was the perfect plan, until the outside wall burst open. The two criminals turned towards the hole, faces falling to confusion at the sight.
Green Lantern, Black Lightning, a homeless man, and a cat all stood ready.
"Stop right there, criminal...s!"
1:30am
Jessica Cruz flew through the sky, following the coordinates in her ring. A robbery in-progress was just reported.
As she arrived at the bank, she noted the large hole in the side of the building. Floating down to it, her eyes widened at the sight inside.
Goldface was currently pinned against the wall by a large Green hand constructed by Guy, a man in a hoodie hitting him repeatedly with a chair. On the other side of the room, Jeff was stumbling around, burping up electricity while a cat was latched on another man's face.
"What the fuck?"
1:12pm
"What were you thinking!?" shouted Jessica, staring at the two heroes sitting on Guy's couch. The two had passed out after the fight, Jess being forced to bring them to Guy's place.
"Ugh…" groaned Guy, rubbing his eyes.."Keep it down a bit Jess… my head is fucking killing me."
"Keep it down!?" she once again shouted. "That bar is in an ongoing investigation about spiking drinks with stuff derived from fear toxin. That stuff is dangerous!"
Jeff grumbled, "We had it under control…"
"Oh did you?" she asked, now looking at Jeff. "Because Lynn didn't seem too happy when I called her this morning." Jeff's face paled, causing Guy to chuckle. "Zip it, you," she threatened.
"Sorry mom," Guy mumbled, causing Jessica to roll her eyes.
She stepped away from the two into the kitchen where Richie was eating a sandwich, Simon leaning against the table smirking at the two on the couch. "I can't believe them!" she ranted, looking at the other hero. "How on earth do you even mistake a cat and a homeless man for Arkillo and Doctor Polaris?"
Richie chuckled, slightly. Simon looked at her, then back to the two sitting on the couch. "I'm not sure… you really put them in their place though, huh mom?"
She sighed, looking down, "I wasn't too harsh was I? I didn't want to overstep any boundaries but what they did was too reckless and-"
"Hey," Simon interjected, looking at her. "You did more than okay. You were great."
She smiled slightly, her eyes widening as she heard a disturbing noise behind her.
"IN THE BUCKET YOU TWO!"
The last thing Little Pocky remembered was getting ready to use her magic to get that not so nice man off of her friend win all of the sudden she was pulled in to a strange Portal...
