I had a wonderful day with my sister. We took a day trip up north to my cousins cabin. It was very nice!
In a way I was glad that yesterday was the last day of my adventure and that I would be flying home. I'd certainly had lots of fun and had done some things I wouldn't normally (e.g. kayaking!) but I did miss my fuzzballs and my own bed.
I relished the chance to sleep in before packing up my stuff and cramming it back into my suitcase. I don't know why it was harder to fit everything in - I hadn't picked up any new stuff throughout the week. Then, after returning my key, I still had a couple of hours to kill before heading to the airport so I went to The Square and sat by the pond, surrounded by ducks, and wrote.
I had a window seat for my flight home (have never actually flown not in a window seat actually) and watched again as the houses, paddocks and mountains shrunk away beneath me like a Sim City screen. When we passed over Cook Straight and for most of the flight home I had views of just gorgeous blues. It was so hard to distinguish where the sea ended and the sky began, they just merged into each other.
I was expecting to meet Mum at the airport once we landed in Christchurch and was pleasantly surprised to see that Dad had come along too. A double welcoming committee! (maybe they did miss me ;)
Once home I was greeted my fuzzballs with lots of enthusiasm. We hadn't seen each other in about ten days! And then, my very time consuming task of going through nearly one thousand photographs that I'd taken over the three weeks began. I think it will take me a while to sort them all out and edit them!
Ah well, it is fun =)
Well, it's day 7 of the 7 days Spring 2010 and I have to take my hat off to you 7dayers, You are such a lovely bunch of flickrites and very generous with your comments - you all make such an effort to make your comments to those in the group - new or not.
It also strikes me that everyone seems very open and honest about what's going on in their lives - good and bad - and I love that - it feels very supportive.
It really helps to motivate me to carry on with my 365. See you all in Summer - have a fab 3 months.
PS I do love my fellow 365Nov09ers and other Flickr friends too! :-)

This is my Dreaming series, where I have created Self- portraits. I have used my Self in these images as I am often full of Photo ideas, but it always seems to be a challenge finding a model when I need them, and I did not want my inspiration to run low.
I was feeling very artistic and grabbed my Camera and tripod and started shooting these images.

uhh a set of SP... i liked so much this color and contrast.. :)
this make-up was just for this session.. too heavy..
I am late this week! Taken with my husbands iPad....I have felt like I am being pulled in many directions lately! We totaled our car coming home from Yosemite, then my desktop computer crashed! Hard disk trashed so I have been putting it all back together! Luckily we were not hurt in the car event, and all my pictures were safe in the computer crash.... life is good!
I'm trying to convey the message of "embracing yourself" in the photo. Most of the time, people wear make-up to appease the society. However, the make-up is distorted in the photo. The girl was trying to her best to please people, but she failed. She felt ashamed and trying to turn her head to the dark in order to hide her imperfection. I used the contrast between the light and the dark to portray the idea of "spotlight" and "privacy".
I went to a Naturopathic doctor today - first time since I was ill back in March/April as (touch wood) all has been well :-) and my supplements had run out (things basically to help digestion without going for the tradtional medicine / pharmacology - just my personal preference if possible)
And (touch wood again) I have had zero pain since then which is absolutely brilliant and I am sooooo happy about.
I want to make sure it stays that way so I went back. All good (fingers crossed) and I'll be ordering some more natural supplements (but less) this afternoon.
At the end of the session, the naturopath gave me a little bit of reflexology too. Right at the end of the session, she took both my feet and legs and from the feet she wiggled them. That's the best way i can think of describing it. She wiggled and wiggled until it made my spine - she described it as how a fish's body moves when it swims - zig zagging. The idea is to get oxygen/movement/energy into you spine.
Well. when she stopped, it was like having bubbles emanate from my spine. It was lovely! Like drinking champagne in your spine. Aaaah.
Got a new softbox, Westcott Apollo 28x28, also bought the 40 degree Grid. Set it up tonight and took some hand held self portraits, to test things out. Most of these were shot with manual setting via YN-622C, at either 1/8th power or 1/4 power, focal length set to auto

Day 51 Year 2: So I took Molly out to pee this morning and while walking back up the stairs in my slippers (cuz I'm a lazy bastard and didn't feel like putting my shoes on) I stubbed the hell out of my toe on the stair :( It hurt, lots, I almost cried! The toenail actually split and there was blood...can't say I've stubbed one that badly in a long time :(
One of the things that kept me busy and off of Flickr was a photography course I took in the fal. It was a great course with a great teacher (Eric Boutlier Brown), and our final project was ten images with some kind of link. I went with a self-portrait based on ten objects that tell something about me.

Juego: Homenaje
Desde el primer momento me sentí cómoda con mi homenajeada, contenta de que fuera ella.
Me gusta su estilo, su nitidez, su luz; la de sus fotos y la de ella misma. Paseé muchas veces por su galería hasta que me decidí y elegí "El Desayuno" www.flickr.com/photos/encolmenar/5356372477/ .
Me gusta por que está ella presente y es una imagen que dice cosas, me habla de como es, de su cotidianidad, me invita a imaginar y a fantasear.
Y bueno, para mi Ana es especial, finalmente decidí que eso era lo que más quería expresar en mi homenaje y no estaba segura de poder conseguirlo. Quería que lo importante en mi foto fuera Ana, no yo. Eso me tiene feliz por que siento que lo logré. Empecé solo con el concepto de desayuno, pero de a poco la idea se fue transformando hasta que llegué a esto.
Siento de verdad que las palabras de mi tazón están en ella; porque yo estaré bastante lejos, pero sí puedo claramente percibir que es compasiva, generosa, amable, poética, sensitiva, cariñosa...y mucho más también.
Quien sabe, quizás un día de estos podamos disfrutar juntas un café...
Muchos besos Ana y muchas gracias por traernos esta idea.

Mírame ahora...
Entonces mirame ahora
Como puedo ver que te alejas, sin siquiera un rastro
Cuando estuve aquí tomando los suspiros contigo
Tú eres la única que me conoce bien
Como puedes alejarte de mí
Cuando todo lo que puedo hacer es mirar que te vas
Compartimos la risa y el dolor y hasta las lagrimas
Tú eres la única que me conoce bien
Entonces mírame ahora
Solo hay un espacio vacío
Y no hay nada dejado aquí para recordarme
Solo la memoria de tu cara
Entonces mírame ahora
Solo hay un espacio vacío
Y tú vuelves a mí aunque parezca increíble
Y esto es lo que tengo que afrontar
Deseo poder que tu solo des la vuelta
Des la vuelta y me veas llorar
Hay tanto que te quiero decir
Tantas razones porque
Eres la única que me conoce bien

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t'rough.
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine:
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;
I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
'Cause if summer is here,
I'm still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I'm still waiting there.
--- Guitar solo ---
Like I said:
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn,
See!
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
No I - no I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't
wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
No, no-no, I, no, I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);
It's me love that you're running from.
It's Jah love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);
It's me love that you're running from.

waiting in vain
Today I was diagnosed as having ADHD by my therapist. He says he's "ninety-eight percent sure" anyway. I was actually pretty skeptical, except.... uhm... I fit the checklist. Very well. Scarily well. And it explains a few things I've been having trouble with for, oh say... five years.
So, here's what's going to happen!
I get treated for the ADHD, which in turn should take care of all of my other issues (anxiety, depression) as those are just supposed to be offshoots of that. Uhm... and I'm hoping that after that, things will start to fall into place.
And the picture? That's a slice of the chaos that is my bedroom
Yet another doctor's appointment. I don't have to switch from my pediatrician until I graduate. So naturally there are toys for the kiddies. Heh.... And I'm not above getting something shiny for my owies, as you can see.
Delayed 365 post. No idea how to shoot with the self-timer when using a d90. figured it out eventually.
also SOOC!
14-03-2010 I've just bought my tickets for Sweden. I'm gonna see dear friends, pretty girls, and my swedish goddess. I haven't travel abroad alone for so long ! I'm so excited.
