52 weeks : Week 4
When I got home from work on Friday, I opened my car trunk and was trying to reach for something at the far end corner and I realized the trunk was huge and that’s how this idea was hatched. I was however quite afraid that I might lock myself in.
So the next morning I spent the morning bugging my mom to come keep an eye on the shoot and press the button for me! ;p
Anyways I got into the trunk through the seats as I was afraid the end part of the trunk was a bit too flimsy. So I crawled in much to the amusement of my mom and neighbour who were happily laughing at me. Sigh the things I do for art ;p

Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too
And though you've found
You need more than me
Don't talk to me
About being free
That's freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
You say the magic's gone
Well i'm not a magician
You say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
All that's bullshit babe
You just want rid of me
You want freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Yeah
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way

Paul's back for the weekend so after a lazy morning we headed in Manchester.
We planned to go for a photographic wander and then have food and go to the cinema. I really wanted to see "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which was showing at Printworks.
We parked up at my uni and walked into town. We walked through Salford, taking a few pics of the architecture, noting some fine examples, and sadly lots of derelict examples. We crossed the River Irwell from Salford into Manchester, stopping for a couple of pics on the bridge.
We came to near Granada Studios and I pointed out the Coronation St set. We walked up to the gates and saw we could see Dev's shop. I had visited the Corrie set way back in the early 90s as part of the Granda Studios tour.
We then headed through St John's Garden which had a very sad memorial to the people buried here. There used to be a church on the site and the people remained buried under the garden.
I remember that we could visit Manchester Central Library and take photos. It is being refurbished and will be closed for some time. The main reading room is circular with a glass ceiling and some interesting architectural features. Was slightly tricky to capture it all. I don't know what the plans are for the future but I hope the new design doesn't completely destroy the old. Would be a shame not to preserve some parts I think.
From the library we headed to the Arndale Centre and had a drink at McDonalds and a cake at Greggs.
After checking the cinema times we realised we had just missed one showing and would have to wait till 8ish for the next. We booked tickets to see the subtitled version and headed off to get somewhere to eat.
We hadn't realised that X Factor - The Live Show was in town and had just kicked out. Consequently all the eateries in the Northern Quarter were packed. We headed further into town and ended up at a Mediterranean place and I had a Moroccan lamb tagine (which was huge) and Paul had pork with calvados sauce and olive mash.
The film was great. Really recommend it and it was a good, sound adaptation of the book. Am glad we went for the subtitled version. The dubbed voices would've annoyed me. The film was graphic, as the book is. Paul enjoyed the film, even though he hadn't read the book. They told us that the next 2 films are going to follow in quick succession. I need to read the 3rd book - paperback out 1st April!
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Why do I look in you, at all,
For all I see is the same old me,
And not how I so want to be.
Mirror, mirror on the stairs,
Why do you show me many years,
A face with wrinkles everywhere,
Would anybody like my share.
Mirror, mirror near my bed,
In you I look with certain dread,
For creams and potions just don't work,
Behind them still the wrinkles lurk.
Mirror, mirror in the hall,
Seeing you makes me recall,
That I am now of senior age,
Well stuck into the wrinkles stage.
Mirror, mirror by the door,
How I hate you more and more,
I'm having to look the other way,
When my reflection's on display.

I had originally done this photo in Black and White, but it didnt really pop. So i took the editing a little further. I find this one more satisfying personally.

My day was good. Work was good. Getting a little tired now. I'm in the middle of an eight day stretch.
I've wanted to take a picture for a while that represents the internal struggle that I feel with being a stay-at-home-mom. Some days I feel like it's a crock and I should do more. The business-woman in me gets fired up and says stuff like, "If you really wanted to contribute to your family you'd go get a real job." Other days I feel like the luckiest mom in the world. I know that a lot of families don't have the opportunity to have a parent stay at home.
Of course there is always the struggle with the outside world. Lot's of people think that SAHM's should "do more".
It's hard but I know that by staying at home, I'm making the right choice for me and my family.
playing with my camera bored home....actualy i was so sick of my lame selfpotraits i decided to make something more interesting and cold :p
...mirame y sonrie...llena tu vida de optimismo, No importa cuan dificil resulta el camino lo importante es que aún continuamos caminando...Sonrie y Mirame, o Mirame y Sonrie, lo que quiero es sientas que al sonreir o reir a tu Mundo lo inyectas de Vitalidad...Lindos Dias, Lindas Tardes, Lindas Noches...Siempre...!

"Vintage" is the theme for We're Here! and fiddling in Photoshop with filters while wearing my "vintage" Wonder Woman Crush cap was the only way you'd get to see my face this week.
I fiddled with layers. I played with effect filters. I used the burn tool. And the caption for this photo would be: "No one knew I looked so much like my grandmother, or that she was Wonder Woman..."
Yes, I know that's ridiculous, but I'm on Day Seven of a pain flareup, so that's what we're getting from me today!
It has been raining for a while now and I just don't feel that well today ...
Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend! :)
I hope the sun will shine soon again ...
First day back home - Good night dad. Kiss on cheek while he lays in bed.
- Good night.... and get rid of these long, granny dresses.
- I like them.
- I didn't ask you if you like them. I am telling you to get rid of them.
I walked out.
With a burning stomach, but clear voice I said: -We'll have the same
story again?!? - Yes, from the first hour, he replied.
And I sit in my dark childhood bedroom... wondering. I left 2years ago because I couldn't no longer breathe in this atmosphere. But now that am back nothing seems to have changed.
Our great teachers say that we cannot change anybody, unless we first change ourselves.
But I have no clue about how to I handle this.
I only know the old ways didn't work...and
I don't want to run away again .
God, beloved God, guide me. 🙏. My last self portrait from Saudi, where loose clothing is encouraged.
..and how comfortable it made me feel.

katerinakaterfly: @sergios77 χαχα ευτυχώς έχω πολλά αλλα ωραια ποσκολια
alfadi_photography: Very beautiful portrait
katerinakaterfly: @alfadi_photography Thank you brother. I really appreciate your words, as I admire your art deeply.
emeero: Wow... i am truly shocked, completely different backgrounds, different culture, opposite mentality and the irony remains... same behavior of some dads here in Saudi - all i can tell you is to pray for him, pray that he over comes his fears, shame, guilt and insecurity... and to be replaced with love, compassion and trust... and always remember to keep moving forward... Happy loving and warming energy coming towards you 💜 may God bless your heart
katerinakaterfly: @emeero Ironic, exactly...
Thank you for always sharing your compassionate and soothing words. Am grateful for your wonderful support, which isn't just words, but powerful loving energy. Yes, practicing on softening.

day two hundred and five
after the initial 'you want me to do what?' when faced with a moving ski lift, it's actually quite peaceful once you get on it. this one led from the bottom of my first blue run to the joy of mimi's burger american.
I am still around! I haven't been posting as much as I'd like to.
I bought a new camera about two weeks ago. It's a GoPro HERO (2018). I needed a better camera since both of my Nikon DSLR's were ruined in the fire.

Grrr. Got home at 9.30pm - ready for bath and an early night. Got a bolt and a normal lock on the door. Could not get the key to turn the lock completely. So I wondered if I had used the wrong key by accident. Tried the other key. No luck. Grrr. Tried the first key. No luck. Got about 3/4s round and then stuck. Wiggled the door. Pulled door towards me. Wiggled the key.
Eventually drove to the garage to get some WD40 (squirtable oil). Squirted.
Tried again. No joy. Thinking now ... "here comes a bill for £100" for a locksmith!
Then I noticed that the flap thing was actually jammed - not just resting against - in the door. Aha. Lightbulb moment! Unlocked the normal lock. Pushed the door. Managed to free the flappy thing. Tried again. Success! But walked in and found I had oil on the wall where the squirting was obviously a bit much.
A wasted 40mins though and by that time I was not in the mood for any creative flickr-ing. Grrr. So needed one of these www.flickr.com/photos/watersapphire/4301133161/in/set-721... so had one but fell asleep in it - then eventually bed. Bliss at last!
Anyway hope you had a better day!!
