Rather old photo from summer 2013 when I went to '50s fashion exhibition in Riga and took some photos there. Dresses there were wonderful of course, and I like how this photo came out with my reflection in the mirror among all the dresses.
Selfreflection in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
This month I am celebrating my 7th Flickr Birthday...I would have never thought that this thing would be so much fun and have such an influence on my life when I opened my account in 2006. I want to thank all of you lovely people for making it such a great experience, and of course also a big thank you to the Interwebs for offering such interesting ways to share part of our lives with the rest of the world...on to the next 7 years :)
'Like' me on Facebook :)
No photoshop treatment ( the blurr was due to the car movement and the light was just like that) The mirror wasn't very clean, neither...
Sin retoques ni efecto photoshop. el 'desenfoque' se debe a la mucha luz y al movimiento del coche. El espejo tampoco estaba muy limpio...

Slightly edited phone cam Selfportrait, shot with the timer of my mobile, reflected in a puddle in Amsterdam. Taken with my C905 mobile phone. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Today is my 4th Flickr Birthday, yay! 4 years ago I've uploaded my first shot to Flickr and I never regretted it, manymany good things have happened to me, I've met manymany very nice people online and offline, I've been part of Exhibitions, Museum-events, fashion photo shoots and many other wicked, exciting things because of this lovely website, and I would not want to miss a second of the fun :))
Thank you all so much for making this possible, without you, this would just be another narcissistic, glossy show-off site, a foolish instrument and playground for vain, spoiled people who can't stop posting their ohsopwetty self portraits to the InterWebs, haha ;-D
Have a wonderful day, there's some Champagne over there by the buffet, help yourself!
Photo captured at Moonstone Beach in the census-designated place of Westhaven-Moonstone. Humboldt County. Mid August 2013.
Why are you always upside down? Just when you think everything is facing straight ahead you end up tilted. The story of my life.
This photo is SOOC too.
Photo captured via Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D AF Nikkor lens at a cattle ranch on Old Samoa Road in the city of Arcata. Humboldt County. Early October 2013.
((see pic below for where this poor Monarch was before this shot))
After a bit, I took a stick and I broke the spider web and freed the Monarch butterfly from the web. I picked him up and gently removed as much sticky web stuff from him as I could. At first he just lay down on this stump as seen here...but then he started to fly around just a little bit. So I hope he is okay..the 2nd shot of him added to this image, was him up and about walking. The nature center was closing and I prayed the Monarch would survive. However, I began to feel a little bit like maybe I shouldn't have interfered with the ways of Nature...So I think in the future if confronted with similar situation I will not tamper with nature again...
Today is her birthday. She is truly the most beautiful person I know in this world. I was testing out the lighting for some romantic kissing shots, but this one of her came out the best.
This one happened around 2 am, but I'm still going strong. Besides, she'd never let me get away with doing this project for only 3 days.
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 Burney Falls captured via the HDR method of photography from McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park in Shasta County. Northern California. On the last day of 2012.
Photo captured along a cattle ranch in the town of Orick and near Redwood National Park. Humboldt County. Late August 2013.
playing with that odd 'double reflection' thing that happens in some windows. taken with canon G12 in low light
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends

Self - portrait. This is my new stream. Some of you may remember me. I can't seem to stay away. This time around, flickr will be reserved for my best work. I'm not going to post just for the sake of posting anymore. I also won't be adding everyone as a contact just because they added me or commented on my stream. I'm going to be very selective about who I associate with. If you like what you see, by all means comment. If you want to add me as a contact, I ask that you shoot me a message telling me what it is that brought you to me. How did you find me? What is it that you like about my stream? Introduce yourself and I will have a look at your stream and profile.
Thanks.
For FGR - Self Reflection
I believe we all have gifts we were born with. My gift is my hands. I am a massage therapist and can do wonders because of this gift.
This isn't really the shot I wanted, but I couldn't get my desired results, so I just threw this one together.
P.S. There is a cool little (accidental) image in the background that represents us, can you find it?
The veranda/terrace (beach towels and all) that was part of our apartment in Elounda as reflected through the glass light covering :o)
Taking a walk in Marin. The area is beautiful with so many natural areas of hills and trees.

I saw you gather all your hopes
With all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star
That once had waved to me
I am a lover in mid air
I think about it i don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain, rain on me

I've always loved the rain. Everything about it. The smell, the feel, the sense of oneness with nature as she renews herself. We had just come home from my cousin's graduation when the rain came. I started setting up my tripod. My aunt and uncle just quietly went inside without a word. They knew to let me be. I let the rain soak into my skin as the dog watched from the garage.
“My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.” - John Lennon
Know a lot of people going through a lot of things, just want you all to know that your never alone, and though I may not always be around, i'm here whenever you need me.
Photo looking towards Sharp Point captured at the beach on the ocean side of Freshwater Lagoon. Humboldt Lagoons State Park. Humboldt County. Mid July 2013.
Signs of life exist in far Northern California in cooler temp beach waters :) Such a good afternoon to marinate under the sun and partly mid level cloudy skies. Photo taken at Clam Beach in Humboldt County past McKinleyville. Late May 2012.
Photo captured at the site of where the Little Sur River drains into the Pacific Ocean on the El Sur Ranch property in Big Sur. Monterey County. Late January 2013.
Photo of Lagoon Creek captured via Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D AF Nikkor lens off U.S. Highway 101, the Redwood Highway, in the town of Klamath. Del Norte County. Redwood National Park. "State of Jefferson." Late October 2013.
There is a feeling here, in this image. Just saying that spoils it a little for me, like telling someone a joke and then having to explain it. But I have been misunderstood too many times and maybe my risk-taking self, who only tries to appeal to those that don’t need the explanation, has become shy. Or maybe I should be brave and accept the position of being misunderstood with grace. Or maybe the best solution is a little of both, which I suspect is the truth, but it always feels like having one foot in this world and one foot out. But then again, I have come to identify that I enjoy that, dancing on the magical line between two worlds, but of course you see it, don’t you? You see it, because that is what this image is all about.
Often, for me, capturing images with my camera is like treasure hunting. Sometimes it is about documenting and that is fun too and has a valuable place, like history, but how much history can one generation hold? I think of that when I go to an old graveyard outside a little church, like the ones I grew up around back east. The tombstones are thin and weathered and the people buried there died in the late 1700′s and everyone who ever loved them has died too and everyone who has ever loved a person that loved them is also gone. Now, the best it can hope for, is to be a tomb of some historical interest, maybe to some descendents, who maybe wish they could crack open the secrets of the person gone, what they were like, who they were, or maybe it is just too much information in a world already bursting at the seams with information. But still, I think photographs that document have great value, only, with an expiration date.
When I treasure hunt, my eye does not see something just as it is, but as it could be if you sprinkle in a little imagination. This is not just a path in the forest. It is a pact made between the trees to grow together to form a tunnel, spawned by some sort of mysterious intelligence that only trees understand. As you walk down the path, the light becomes dark, the air cool, which causes you to notice your surroundings. Not just notice, but it infiltrates nearly every corner of your awareness, so that your separateness from the world, in the world, vanishes and all melds into One. Then you emerge from the tunnel into the sunlight and what awaits you there is so magnificent and magical that it has never before been able to be imagined. The feeling here is wonderment, one foot in this world and one foot out.
Do you see it too?
