Cleland Wildlife Park
Hold a koala, roam the grassland enclosures with some of the largest kangaroos in Australia or watch a Bilby emerge from its burrow. Just twenty minutes from the Adelaide city centre, you can explore some of South Australia's diverse landscapes and meet some of their inhabitants. Visitors can feed and wander at their leisure among kangaroos, wallabies, Emus and waterfowl. Displays of Dingoes, reptiles, Tasmanian Devils and Koalas allow easy viewing access, or stroll through the aviaries and marvel at the diversity of South Australian wildlife.
Taken with a Canon EOS 10D in Auto mode, Tamron 200-500 mm.

This was done on A2 paper, with acrylic and ink. The task for this project was to create a self portrait, but without actually doing a self portrait. When thinking of myself, I thought of the isolation I felt at the time, knowing I'm the only one I have. I tried to show how that feeling can be scary, but also calming and even beautiful. I used the vibrant blues to reflect that calm feeling, and intentionally made the girl in the centre appear ghostly and luminous. I feel this portrays her confidence in herself and her surroundings, and her contentment in her solitude.
The sad thing about acrylic paint, is that the darker the colour, the more reflective the paint becomes, making paintings like these remarkably difficult to photograph accurately. The actual painting is quite a bit more detailed, and reads a lot more accurate. Ah well.
This took me about 6 hours to paint.
Done November 2016
How many continents or countries are represented here? The batique is from Uganda, from when Mom and Paula went to visit Bryn there. I bought the water bottle there to bring to Tijuana with me. And the box in the foreground is from Bangladesh or India, from Karen for a Secret Santa present.
As a bonus, the top book on the stack of books is about map coloring!
Just a random shot from today while measuring flows. I was trying to capture a flock of swallows that were flying along that looked more like a school of fish. Birds are a real skill builder. You have got to be ready to get the shots on them. Needless to say, I wasn't. I had put the camera away with some waked out settings and did not get back to my usual Aperture mode at f16.
I took a self portrait at sunrise at our Killarney Lake campsite. I had to set it on the 10s timer and I didn't have time to fix my hair. It does look strange, but I didn't notice it until I uploaded the picture...oh well.

Today I spent a bit of the day working on putting together a Do-it-yourself beauty dish (specific dish designed to reflect flash for photography). I got the instructions from here (http://davidtejada.blogspot.com/2008/04/beauty-dish-for-sb-800.html). Anyways, todays picture comes from the cd + convex mirror portion, and I decided to go for a self portrait with it.

Lakaï Dance Theatre presented The Block: An Afro-Musical as part of the 2019–20 MIT Performing series. In The Block, the street becomes a stage for self-reflection on toxic masculinity, racial profiling, mental health, and violence, all as a means of community improvement. Through hip-hop and Afro-Diasporic movement styles, the performers challenge stigmas on black and brown vulnerability and the difficulties of asking for help. Developed from individual narratives of the director and performers, the script shares personal stories of hardships and triumphs experienced in a tough and violent yet ultimately creative and resilient urban community.
