One PW-fired Vivitar on each side of a light box (translucent plexiglas) slightly above the level of the books. The USB key is angled to make use of the specular highlight to bring out the "face" . Both flashes at 1/2 power to allow them to be at least two meters away from the sides of the lightbox, in an attempt to get very soft light (large light source). Camera synced at 1/200th sec to help black out the black cloth backdrop and base (taped one end of the cloth to the wall, and draped the loose end across a table.
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone.
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fall
There'll be nothing to keep you far from me Before I am long long long gone
There'll be nothing to keep me away
The Columbia City's neighborhood storefronts boast a lot of charm, color, and sometimes a certain trendiness. Big John's Barber Shop is not trendy multi-station affair, say like a "Rudy's" or a "Lucky 7", but an authentic 2 chair throwback to this historic business district's midcentury days. Big John is a Seattlite who has been in business for many years in one location, through the bad and good economic times the neighborhood has seen.

The latest piece from my sketchbook. Light colors and layers, dark figures fading into the background. Shapes, and color, order and chaos.
Sometimes You need a "Bad Attitude" not bad meaning bad; but Bad meaning Good... Tap into that “Inner Contortionist”;It's not Your circumstances that shape You, It's how You shape according to Your circumstances. Understand You’re capable of changing Your Mind & You’re capable of changing Your Life. Flexible people don't break or get “Bent out of Shape”. The Storm came & left, now how can You Benefit from its impact? It's Your Life & even though it's not broken You still have to figure out how to WORK IT; Command it Work's in Your Benefit & Demand nothing but the Best. Life is Only for the Living; be Bold & Live Out Loud for Child of God, Failure is Not an Option. Stay Prayerful, Focused & Encouraged. ~LuvUMuch Neciaism Copyright © 2014
I have never been suicidal. I'm not one to find solace at the bottom of a whiskey bottle (although I enjoy a martini just strong enough to give me a good night's sleep). I am not prone to being overly dramatic. I don't tend toward anti-depressants, painkillers, or anti-anxiety drugs. LIke everyone, I get depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, tired, sad, and fed up. But generally, after a good cry, a stiff drink, a sweaty run, or a few hours to myself, I'm back at the grind of the day.
Sometimes, though -- just for a moment -- I understand. The feeling is fleeting. In fact, it's so quick that when I try to hold onto it for the sake of analyzing it, it disappears quicker than I even want it to. But it's there just for a moment: the understanding of why people do find solace at the bottom of a whiskey bottle, or the end of a needle. For a hot second, when the rush of life is coming at you like a freight train, and you can feel your hair blowing back, it's there and I get it. Then it disappears, and I can't get it back. I go back to not understanding the feeling of hopelessness. I go back to wondering why people cannot get through. But what I have come to understand in 48 years is that for some, that feeling is everlasting, always there, at the back of their mind. It's not fleeting. It does not go away. It lingers there, waiting for them.
I am having a shit day. I could complain, but what good would it do. I need more space (literally and figuratively), and more hours in the day, and I'm not likely to get either. I know this. I also know there's nothing anyone can do. So I will take a longer walk than usual, ignore everyone but the children, put on a smile, and be OK. I will think about people far less fortunate than I and I will feel just a little ashamed of feeling bad. I will not get a loving response from my family because they don't get me and they live in a world to self-focused to understand. I will be angry at first, and then I will get over that, too.
And next week, I'll put on a suit, get kids off the school, go to work, draft demand letters and privacy policies, make dinner, mop the floors, read ingredient labels, read bedtime stories, worry about money, bill hours, call clients, do laundry, make dessert, dry tears, dress kids up for picture day, ignore the dust bunnies, clean the toilets, change the sheets, and be grateful for what I have (which is a lot), even if I cannot see it today. That's how the story always goes for me. I am predictable. I can count on myself to get over things, never drive drunk, and take a break when life gets hard, but just a little break. And today, I'm out of time.

Regan (younger bro), was "bored" on the couch of his girlfriends mothers house. I was there taking pictures for his gf's mom, and while I was waiting I amuse myself with taking pictures of him. He's on the couch, bored, won't smile, just looks over at me. LOL. Picture turned out well imo, but the expression on his face is so funny to me!
