Chilling at the nail salon yesterday, waiting for my turn with the amazing Chow.
**UPDATE** On 9/17, I collapsed in my apartment at 0315 in the morning. I felt an intolerable pain going up the right side of my body and was having a difficult time breathing. I was immobilized for about 5 minutes but was finally able to pull myself up off of the floor onto the edge of my bed. I considered very seriously calling EMS/ 911.. The symptoms began lessening to a small degree. I googled the symptoms... I believed that I was experiencing appendicitis. So, instead of calling the ambulance, I decided to drive myself...(Im a very stubborn old broad..)
I arrived to Saint Mark's Hospital in Murray Utah, About 5 miles from my residence. The Doctors and Nurses there did not mess around. (Total rock stars) I was admitted almost immediately and tests were began. The test that likely saved my life that night was the CT scan.. It identified a very sizeable blood clot that had gotten lodged in my lungs. This is known as a Pulmonary embolism and is no joking matter. Had this nasty thing made it to my brain: Stroke or death. Had it made it to my heart: Death. Left unchecked in my lungs: Death.
So.. in a nutshell... I am very fortunate to be alive today. A huge THANK YOU to all the staff, Nurses and Doctors at St Mark's Hospital for saving my life. :)

For the FGR 'Self Reflection' Challenge (for group of same name).
I guess this is a photo about fear and about the things 'that are out to get you'. And seeing as I built this dark fantasy, I re-conclude the biggest enemy lies within your mind's ability to create things imagined that make you tremble fearfully (but most of which never come to pass - knock on wood!).
Texture by ghostbones. Blood from dark dragon. Many thanks to you both.
A note on shooting it: Man, was it hard to twist so that you got my reflection in that metal ring but did't see the camera (in my other hand). Bathercise!
Edit: Just saw the film 'What lies beneath' - had no idea how much of a homage to that film this could be!

My friend Judy's six toed cat Spike likes to sit on his pillow facing the wall. One day Judy decided to put a mirror right in front of where he sits so now he sits and stares at himself for hours. It's very odd but it definitely made me smile.

Natural habitat on a slow weekend morning. Just out of frame, some teenagers chasing a basketball around the train car.
No make up or lip gloss. Just me in the tub reflecting on what makes me happy. I hate when I look back at pictures of myself and see and unsure, unhappy person staring back at me. I don't care how good or slim or sexy I thought I looked, if the feeling didn't reach my eyes it wasn't a good picture.
Lately I've been trying to capture what I feel in a picture. I learned that I can be sexy whether I'm a size 20 or 12...And I can be happy for where I stand today because all of the bad things have made me more aware and a better person.
In this picture I see acceptance, peace, happiness.

Photo captured at the beach on the ocean side of Freshwater Lagoon. Humboldt Lagoons State Park. Humboldt County. Mid July 2013.
As former president Teddy Roosevelt puts it...behold it is the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The water originates from underground springs above and at the falls. Even during the dry summer months and at 129 feet in height, the water provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million U.S. gallons / day.

Photo of the South Fork Eel River captured via Minolta MD Zoom Rokkor-X 75-200mm f/4.5 lens via Avenue Of the Giants near the census-designated place of Phillipsville. Humboldt County. Early November 2013.

Semi-candid portrait of a friend's son at his family's annual Australia Day party (January 26).
Our national day is problematic as it is commemorates the arrival of the first European settlers in 1788. The anniverary of federation would be a less racially insensitive date on which to celebrate Australian nationhood but that's January 1st -- most of us would be too hungover. ;)

SOOC (Straight Out Of the Camera)
Hi everyone!
As I wrote yesterday I will continue using more my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, I need to practice more with it and actually I really like the results I got till now, so today another portrait, this time again my friend Timo, this time just before he was living the box after his workout. He was ready in his motorbike so, I went to take my camera as fast as I could and approached him to take the photo.
Well, this is my today's pic and now time to get ready to sleep.
Peace!
Slightly edited selfreflection on a car in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.
It ain't always being easy being a wicked Reflectah, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make it to the point where I'm at now, and it'll take so much more of both to get me to where I want to be, while all I want, is a looong vacation, lazy me, lol. When I think about this, I always hear this song in my head:
"Sitting in my car watch the stars and smoke
I came a long way but still I got so far to go."

Photo captured at a sheep ranch, with a hint of Redwood National Park in the background, in the town of Orick. Humboldt County. Early May 2013.
There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser so terrible as the conscience that dwells in the heart of every man.
~Polybius, Greek historian (205-118BC)
I've been toying with this idea and saving this quote for a long time. I think I finally achieved my vision for it. There has been a great deal dwelling in my heart (really my mind, of course) lately. Funny how these flashes of creativity, these brief moments of near greatness come of such unsettling in the soul.
Photo of the sunset over the Pacific captured from the Vista Point on U.S. Highway 101 in McKinleyville. Humboldt County. Late January 2013.
Shot with my trusty Nokia N8. I cropped it in Photoshop and enhanced it a little bit, but in essence this is the photo out of the N8.
Taken in Hong Kong with a baby hanging off my chest while trying to navigate massive Christmas crowds and photograph things. Not the most conducive photography environment.
Just trying to show that if we paint our faces and put on a smile, we can often hide the turmoil within. I think that many of us are guilty of hiding our inner feelings at times, be they happy or sad.
