Silent and untouchable she stands, just out of reach with one hand extended invitingly, yet avoiding eye contact. What is it about her that draws us in? I don't know.

Sometimes you have those days where you just can't seem to pull yourself up, where your motivation is missing, life feels empty and it's like you can't find that sweet spot where life is moving forward and it's good...today is one of those days. But in looking at this picture I am reminded that even though I may be down and life feels somewhat empty, the truth is there is still beauty to be found…there is life, even when it feels out of reach.
This bittersweet vine was hanging across a trail we were walking on the weekend, so I snapped a quick shot. When I look at it I see simple beauty, something so small that would have been missed if it hadn't been in my path…otherwise lost among the many trees in the forest…still there, still that simple beauty but unseen. It reminds me of life, who knows if you will be that moment of simple beauty that intersects someone's path…whether it be a kind smile, an acknowledgement, a gentle touch, a kind word…anything that breaths life into another. We never know what those simple, yet beautiful acts do in the lives of those we cross paths with.

That's how I feel sometimes (alright, most times), but I'm actually referring to this dress. When I saw it modelled, the girl was slim and wearing black hose. I could have copied one of those but black seemed rather dark for a summer's day and the other is found under 'S' in the dictionary. Although I have an eternity of dresses, I decided to keep this as it is really simple to throw on this simpleton.
This was my first real try of a simple landscape shot. Picture was taken at Grindelwald First in Switzerland.
monday challenge is to come up with macro representations of "Simplicity"!!!
cant get much simpler than one of my first point and shoots. yep this baby took film..and ya pretty much just pushed a button and sent in the film when you finished the roll. id say shes about 20 years old, wish i could get her open, theres a roll in there?
happy macro Monday everyone
For just another UP lashup on a CSX freight train, I looked for a composition that would make the southern location a little more obvious. These two matching palmtrees were perfect for what I was looking for, simple yet nice.
Test knit for Mary-Heather. It's a simple, cozy, wear-it-every-single-day kind of shawl.

The yarn is a fantastic hand-dyed sock yarn called One Sheep Hill that was available exclusively at Yarnzilla's shop a few years ago. I had 4 skeins and gave two away because I am a stupid. :P
This photo was taken on the corner of Seventh Avenue South and West 10th Street.
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
Oh, one last thing: I've created a customized Google Map to show the precise details of each day's photo-walk. I'll be updating it each day, and the most recent part of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see where I've been, by clicking on this link

If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...

Western style breakfast in Japan is not my thing, obviously it was someone else’s idea to fly to Japan so we can have western food. Their stuff isn’t so bad, and I do love all food that is delicious, but travelling all the way to Japan, and then, well, you know what I’m saying. XD
It is hard not to bump into one of Skylark Group’s chain stores. After all, there are almost a thousand of ガスト café restaurants around town and there are around three thousand restaurants under Skylark domestically and overseas. I suppose that is one of the reasons why they just hired McDonald’s former president Ralph Alvarez as their chairman. Pretty sure he knows how to run a large corp like this one with his experiences from previous training. Me, I like to keep it simple, stupid! In another words, I like to KISS. V^O^V

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.
The Ottumwa Municipal band and Community Chorus gave a concert in Central Park Thursday evening. The group is Iowa's oldest continuously operating municipal band - founded in 1865 and celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.
It's not an easy task to keep a small town band going these days, even in the state where Professor Harold Hill extolled the virtues of bandsmanship. Judging from the average age of the audience, it will be even more difficult to sustain in the future. A shame, I think. People don't know what they are missing if they can't appreciate the simple joy of music in the park on a summer night.
I couldn't imagine a nicer place to be on the eve of the country's birthday this year. Central Park is a little old shaded, sloping pocket of green on the edge of downtown. Above it, on its northern edge, looms the 1894 sandstone, Romanesque Revival Wapello County Courthouse and the 1930 Gothic Revival St. Mary's Catholic Church. Hugging the park on either side is Ottumwa's 1901 Neo-Classical Carnegie Public Library and the 1912 Renaissance Revival Federal Building (now City Hall).
Below the park sits the grand old 1917 Hotel Ottumwa, still welcoming overnight guests. Walk on down to the next alley and you can be transported back to the 1930s with Ottumwa's own "tavern style" "loose meat" sandwich at The Canteen. Then you'll come to the Burlington tracks, with the depot a block or so to the west. Beyond that, ever present, and oh, so old, the Des Moines River rushes by carrying some of the rain that fell on Iowa farmland on its way to the Gulf. (There's a lot to carry this year, we've had plenty of rain. Flooding soon!!)
Well, I guess you can tell . . . I love this place! : )
Thursday was a beautiful blue-sky evening, perfect temps in the 70's - just gorgeous! The band played the usual patriotic themes, and they played Simple Gifts, and an Irving Berlin medley . . . but they also played Elvis! Ain't that America? ;-)
I am so cheered by an old fashioned band concert. But I was lucky enough to be part of a fabulous, proud and mighty instrumental music program in my Texas high school and the effects of that have never faded. Maybe it's time to get the clarinet repadded and see if I can still play! : ) Heck, it's only been 37 years . . . maybe it's like riding a bicycle??
As that sweet music floated out into the night, we heard Amtrak blowing, the California Zephyr coming and going. Ahh, another sweet, sweet sound. I looked at my son, smiled and said, "Is this heaven?" And he said, "No, it's Iowa."
Well, for a little while there, I could have sworn it was Heaven. : )
Happy Birthday, America!
please note: simple invites to post an image to a particular group are always welcome but no pictures, awards, or badges in comments. i call it dumping on the lawn. thanks very much for understanding, and I sincerely appreciate your visits.
for those interested in iphonography, the itemization of the workflow used for the images in this series might prove helpful.
oh, and i've created a group for black and white images. you might wanna join.
One I dug out from the so-so folder just to have something to toss up this morning. Happy Monday everyone. Yeah right! :)

I’ve taken many pictures of this fresh water post, in Swanage bay, but I thought I’d try something a little different this time. I’ve seen many great minimalist images, usually taking advantage of snow or fog to create scenes that have cut out all the details, leaving the scene with just the basics, which are very effective. Without the aid of these conditions I’ve used a long exposure to smooth the water and sky, and darkened the sand in photoshop/silver efex. I’m not sure if I’ve achieved the simplicity I had in mind but it’s something I haven’t tried before-so I’m counting it as a win!

Thanks for looking

Joseline (student from last year) composed this lovely and simple photo.www.empowermentinternational.org
...this year we are keeping it simple around here for Christmas....
On Monday I brought the box (with boxes) of Christmas decorations up from the cellar and I have slowly begun to decorate...I only put 5 pieces so far:
~ the 3 dimensional plywood tree/ candle holder (from Habitat)
~ the handmade reindeer from salted dough (decorated with little details made with golden ink) I made last year during one of my Art&Crafts in English sessions with mighty, little students
~ two ...gigantic woolen socks, tied to the stairs up (not seen here - picture to come)
~ the pair of wooden ice skates which is hanging on one of the window handles seen here
~ and the two handmade angels from Munieca, purchased last year via Etsy (seen in comments)
This year I've decided to be decorating little by little, adding something every now and then until I feel that the outcome is ready. And while last year I created a winter Wonderland as among a few lovely others, wonderful Kirsten from Simply Grove had blogged about it , this year I have a need ofr basics, keeping it simple and an attitude for less is more.
