No Access to water
No Boating
No Swimming
No Diving
And no throwing away your trash
Water is up quite a bit, the sign and obviously the trash can are usually out of the water and for that matter the trees in the background are too. The rock my dad and I did the Ghosts in the quarry shot on was about 30 feet out into the water.

Modern Philosophy: An Introduction and Survey
Scruton contends, following Immanuel Kant, that human beings have a transcendental dimension, a sacred core exhibited in their capacity for self-reflection. He argues that we are in an era of secularization without precedent in the history of the world.

Day 28. There is fiction in the space between.
Just playing around a little, I'm new in the whole 'texture department', so...
Maybe I should make this 'texture week'..
Anyway. Inspired by Telling Stories - Tracy Chapman
There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesnt mean
You're not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between
You and me

Lightbox this with L!
The icons are whispering to you,
they're just old men,
like on the benches in the park,
except their balding spots are glistening with gold.

Today I went out to the backyard/woods to shoot and my cat Albus followed me down. The entire time I was shooting he ran through the grass, under my tripod, and between my legs. So, I finally decided to pick him up and shoot with him. He's in some of my past photos here. He's such a sweet and affectionate boy. You can see him trying to play in my arms. :)
As soon as I got inside though, it started to pour.
This looks kinda silly, I think, but it has a serious meaning. This really is meant to represent the need we all have to reflect on who we are where we are going in our lives. The discarded mirrors littering the ground amidst the dying grass signifies discarded personas we may have once held up.
ETA: I couldn't get the colors right though on the mirrors in the grass. Alas.

why?
maybe because the answers we know,
are the ones
we can't bear to admit."

This is my favorite time of year. No matter where you turn--even inward--there's a ripple of hope and beauty. This is the loveliest period in the natural cycle.
Why is the last mile the hardest mile ?
My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes
And I realized, I realized
I could never
I could never, never

End of year is time for self-reflection. 2012 was a transitional year for me. New job, decisions were made and all in all, I have no regret. The only negative change is that I now have less time for photography, but the passion is still there. So all is swell.
Anyway, I wish everybody a great New Year's Eve. Looking forward to sharing another 365 days with you all.
xoxo ;P

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious – Sun Tzu
Every morning I have an internal battle. I tell myself I go to Concord Park too often and I have used it too many times in my project. This morning I lost the battle and went to a place and did a shot I have done before. Yes, the composition is a tad bit different but this is a “been there done that” shot.
And with just 40 days left in the project it almost seems like I am just going through the motions, just trying to finish. I am tired, distracted, and wake up feeling like I need a creative day off. A day where I don’t have to produce something, a day where I don’t have to come up with some insight and match that insight with a creative shot, a day that I can just stand there and watch the sunrise.
In June of 2015 I will asked to shoot a wedding in the beautiful city of Paris in my signature documentary style.
I took along my Canon 5DmkIII (with 24-105L and 50mm f/1.4) with my Fujifilm X100T as a secondary camera.
These images are a selection of some of my favourite captures from what was a truly wonderful day.
We don't often think about it, but wherever we go, whatever we do, we are leaving behind a self-reflection for others to remember. May we leave a positive, beautiful reflection that is a testimony beautiful and positive and of good cheer.

After a bout of self-reflection, the JNA came to realize that its liberal usage of mines and other discreet landborne explosives to secure the frontiers of Yugoslavia during times of great external pressure would eventually have scores of negative effects during peacetime. To help detect the clandestine munitions that usually become buried after heavy rain and the like, the Ministry of Defense established a cooperative program with South Africa to create a cheap, effective mine detection platform. Out of that research and development came the M-27DM.
Surprisingly, the M-27 is not parented by the traditional truck or defense firms so common to the industry, but rather a tractor manufacturer near Belgrade: IMT (Industry of Machinery and Tractors). During the early stages of the program, it was deemed that IMT had the cheapest basic components (e.g. engine, drive train, etc.) which would help balance against the high costs of the onboard electronics. Hence, the M-27 is often referred to as the "cockeyed tractor" in due part to this heritage and the fact that its floodlamps are canted outwards, giving the vehicle an odd anthropomorphic appearance. However, the preferred common name for the vehicle is "Doyla." The Doyla are agents of Fate and generally help ward against happenings that aren't planned by her; in the case of armed conflict, unwanted death and injury by misplaced explosives are those unplanned events.
Although designed to be crewed by one, it is not uncommon to see a secondary operator poking out from the top of the vehicle. Such individuals often help the driver navigate the vehicle given thick ballistic glass has a tendency to obscure one's vision after becoming dirtied from extended marches and patrols. Although produced in incredibly small numbers (only a baker's dozen are known to be in the JNA's vehicular pool), the M-27 is quite ubiquitous and they are often rotated between active units in order to secure major logistical routes.
