Sometimes things are not what they appear to be! Vintage old time forced perspective, creating an interesting optical illusion, of a seaside bathing beauty standing in the palm of a man’s hand. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
Sometimes you need a little help.

A work in progress...obviously. FINISHED!
(WIP in comments)
but this is what I did for the majority of today.
It's been a long time since I've drawn anything actually.
Usually I just don't have the patience for it, so it was nice to try again.
Go look at this photo by Eric Lafforgue.
(And check out the rest of his stream while you're at it!) Something in this old soldier's eyes just pulls at your heart, something I find so inspiring.
I have always had a longing to travel to Africa, and the photos he creates not only there, but all around the world are absolutely incredible.

Thunderstorm over the Israel!
Hooray! Today I've got over 200,000 views - though it doesn't mean anything special,
but still it gives some ticklish feeling to my Ego:)))
Best viewed large! Sometimes I have dreams where I am underwater and yet breathing deeply and easily. I like those dreams. I think I was definetly a fish in a past life. This image was created using photos of some rippled sand, myself (using a camera on a timer) and loads of other bits of things I've taken pictures of. I also used some photoshop brushes:

... is just forgetting the dark side of mankind and accepting that we can embrace nature. Then in front of the nature show, stay humble, bring a camera, enter the yellow room with blue ceiling, and take photographs.

Cancer can be treated in a number of ways. Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Immunotherapy, and Monoclonal Antibody Therapy are among the most popular. The choice of cancer therapy is made by looking at the stage of the disease and the state of the patient. The goal of cancer treatment is the complete removal of the cancer without significantly damaging the rest of the body. Sometimes a surgeon can remove the cancer easily, other times this is not possible. Chemotherapy and Radiation can be quite affective in killing cancer cells, but they are also toxic to healthy cells.

Surgery
Theoretically, non-blood based cancers can be cured if entirely removed by surgery. This is easier said than done. If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body before surgery, it is usually impossible to remove all the cancer through surgery. Two of the most well know surgical procedures for removing cancer are mastectomy (where one or both of the breast are removed in an effort to treat breast cancer) and a prostatectomy (where all or part of the prostate gland are removed). Cancer can recur if a single cell is left behind after surgery. With this in mind a pathologist will carefully examine your surgical specimen to make sure there is a margin of healthy tissue present.
Surgery is also used to determine the stage (extent) of cancer. Staging is very important for determining a prognosis and treatment.
A Radiation Mask
Radiation Therapy
Radiation Therapy is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation can be giving externally through External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) or internally through Brachytherapy. The effects of radiation are concentrated on the area being treated. Radiation Therapy damages the DNA of the cancer cells making it impossible for them to grow and divide. Radiation Therapy damages both healthy and cancer cells, but healthy cells are able to recover from the Radiation. Radiation is given over several rounds so the healthy cells have a chance to recover between treatments.
Radiation is used to treat almost every type of cancer. The amount of Radiation that is given depends on the type of cancer and how close it is to major organs. As with every form of cancer treatment, radiation is not without side effects.

Side Effects of Radiation Therapy
The side effects of Radiation Therapy can appear during treatment or years later. The nature of the side effects depend on where the radiation was received and how much. Some of the immediate side effects from radiation are burning on the skin, swelling, infertility, and fatigue. Some of the long term side effects fibrosis (loss of elasticity in the tissue that was treated), hair loss, dryness, and cancer.

Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with anticancer drugs. Most chemotherapy targets all rapidly dividing cells, and not just cancer cells. This means that often chemotherapy damages healthy cells as well as cancer cells. However, most healthy cells repair themselves after the chemotherapy has ended. Most patients are given a combination of chemotherapy drugs. It is important that you talk all drugs that are prescribed in combination with your chemotherapy.
Targeted Therapy
Targeted Therapy first became available in the late 1990s and it has proven to be very effective in treating some types of cancer. If you have questions about Targeted Therapy and how it can help you or your loved one, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will know what Targeted Therapies may be right for your cancer.

Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a set of strategies that will trigger a patient’s immune system to fight the tumor. Immunotherapy has been very affective on Renal Cell Carcinoma, Melanoma, and prostate cancer.
Hormonal Therapy
Hormonal therapy is used to block or provide certain hormones. They have been particularly effective in Breast and Prostate Cancers.

Symptom Control
Some treatments are designed not to kill the cancer cells, but to control the symptoms of the cancer. This is very important for helping maintain a high quality of life for the cancer patient. Symptom Control is used for all stages of cancer, but particularly for end of life care. There is somewhat of a social stigma attached to the use of high power pain killers. Cancer patients should feel free to ask their doctor or Hospice provider about any medicine they take, especially if the patient feels the medicine is doing more harm than good. That being said, do not stop taking any medicines without consulting your health care provider first.
Complementary and Alternative Medicines
Consult your doctor and do lots of research before beginning any alternative treatment. Do not stop your other therapies or medicines in order to take an Alternative Medicine. No Alternative Treatments have been shown to effectively treat any form of cancer, and none are FDA approved.

Clinical Trials
Clinical Trials test new treatments on people with cancer. The goal of these studies is to find better ways to treat cancer and help cancer patients. Patients who take part in clinical trails get the best available standard of care for their cancer, however there is no guarantee that the new treatment will work. If the treatment does work, those in the trial are among the first to benefit from the new treatment.

I am sometimes glad I am not entirely orderly. I am writing begging applications for residencies and the like and I just came across this photo. This would have been taken in early may 2011. Blimey nearly 8 years ago. At the point this photo was taken she was about to come home after 3 months in rehabilitation. I insisted on taking her out of her ward to go down to the river in Evesham. She was initially pretty resistant but she changed her mind when we got out. I always really regretted she lived on such a steep hill in Malvern, she would never let me take her out there. I think she would have been happier with a shunt about town now and then. The most obvious thing about my mother was her determination to look good. Lipstick eye shadow the whole banana. I was a sore disappointment to her in terms of dressing like a girl.
I have been missing her an awful lot recently. Last year was ok, the first anniversary of her dying didn't really touch the sides. This year she keeps showing up in my dreams, is always bubbling to the surface in a multitude of contexts and before I can remember that she is gone I find myself thinking I must tell her this or that or ask her something.
Sometimes I ought to just not bother with the flickr blog. Someone thinks these are real. So this is my homage to the latest PEO craze that will certainly hit the fan.
If anyone can translate the note on the back, I'll send 'em a pound. Seriously. :))
to lessen my troubles, stop hanging out with vultures, and empty saviors like you...

this song came to mind for sure while having cocktails tonight...
Solitude Sometimes Is
Life that no longer exists
Solitude Sometimes Is
When there's nothing left to give
