Right.
I have something to say here.
PLEASE don't invite my images to the groups where I'm FORCED to take actions for 'the privilege' of being invited - i don't appreciate being forced to do anything, I work my butt off on a daily basis and not always have spare time to comment on other people's work.
I'm not on flickr for the number of comments competition, I'm here to get inspired and share my work. I don't care if my work has got no comments at all and I won't comment on something under the pressure 'because someone has just commented on my stuff'. I'm sorry I just don't fancy obeying these ridiculous rules.
If you invite my work to certain group I will just click 'accept' after having a little look round. Don't then demand actions from me - you don't invite someone to then send them a message 'your photo is going to be removed because you didn't leave 10 other comments'. Frankly - p*ss off.
FLICKR is just another form of online portfolio for me. I am a free individual not some stupid half brain who likes being told what to do and when. I make my own choices.
Thank you, rant over.
:)

Voor de ingang van Algemene Zaken, stond een jonge vrouw op een kruk met ontbloot bovenlijf terwijl ze haar borsten met viltstiften aan het roodkleuren was. Niemand wist wat hier gebeurde, na enig rondvragen zei iemand: "vraag het haar zelf maar". Dus dat deed ik. "Ik maak een statement" zei ze. Waarover, waartegen, waarom? "Een radicaal statement" zei ze. Maar ondertussen kwamen 2 politieagenten die haar sommeerden de borsten te bedekken en mee te komen naar.... nog onbekend.
Iemand vroeg mijn kaartje (heb ik altijd bij me) want ze wilden deze foto's wel hebben. Ik hoor later wel waarover dit radicale statement ging.

For the pahmphlet i was stuck by this sentence within the assignment "a radical message in a radical way." So i first thought about what a radical way was. I believe this is when it's unerasable. So i was thinking about writing with lipstick on some white walls in the school and what not. Then it developped in being an unerasable image in peoples minds. Or maybe what wpuld.ignite the most reaction.
As i did a naked performance once in school, and some were kind of crossed by that. And i knew that my breasts evoked this same kind of reaction on people, both on social media, in public and even under a shirt without bra, i wanted to do something with the ridicoulousness of this given. Especially nipples being censured as breasts are over sexualized and the increasing prudishness of society, which is especially taken out on female bodies, i wanted to question the radicality of my flesh. Is this radical enough for you? Is it radical at all? Police sure did thought so.
With writing variations of this question on my breats until covered, I state that breasts shouldn't be so radical - which apparently was quite a radical message an sich.

This is a film detail shot of the room full of computers at abandoned Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in New Orleans. When I look at it, I imagine how the mission statement posted on the wall must have taken on a strange meaning with the high water mark sitting just below it. Floating above Lake Six Flags. Some people boated through the ruins. I imagine them reading "To deliver Family Fun and Fond Memories for all of Our Guests" just hovering on the water. A surreal hope, but their mission was successful with me. I will never forget the intensity I felt wandering the ruins.
My credit card statement consists of two sheets of paper, one I keep with the amount spent each month, this sheet is surplus to my requirements so I shred it.
As you see I used it for a few sums :)

It's not going to be a good day/week.
As of Wednesday morning, there are 149 active wildfires burning in Quebec and 52 fires burning in northern Ontario. By this time last year, 202 fires had burned throughout Quebec. This year so far, the province has seen 435 wildfires.
Sandi Whetzel is seduced by the captivating, graceful forms she finds tucked away in nature. Her fascination with the discovered shapes compels her to enhance their graceful contours, infuse them with luscious color and feature them prominently in her paintings. Whetzel’s contemporary acrylic paintings embrace the nuances of shapes and patterns inspired by the plant world. Her current focus has been an intimate view of succulents; embellishing their engaging shapes with vibrant hues and sculptural textures.
Sandi paints in her home studio located at Days Creek, OR. Since 1997 she has instructed community education art classes for Umpqua Community College. She has studied with accomplished artists, Kevin Macpherson, Tom Browning and Harley Brown. She treasures most the continuing association with her mentor artist and friend, Bonnie Hill of Roseburg, OR.
Several of Whetzel’s works have been used to promote the wine industry through wine-themed events in southern Oregon. Her work appears in Northwest Artists: A Collection of Works by Notable Artists of the Northwest. Her paintings are in private collections in Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado and Arizona. She has exhibited in solo and numerous group shows during the last several years, including two shows at the Coos Art Museum, in Coos Bay, OR.
During her childhood, Sandi’s family changed residence frequently to follow employment in the logging industry of southern Oregon and northern California. She attended many small elementary and high schools, none of which offered any art education. As a teenager she enjoyed paint-by-number oil sets and she became interested in drawing briefly around the age of thirteen. After that, Sandi didn’t have much contact with art until later in life.
For years after she married, her only artistic pursuits had been machine sewing garments and home decorator items. When a friend invited her to a fashion T-shirt painting class she thoroughly enjoyed doing that. At the same time, Whetzel seemed to be mesmerized by PBS TV painting shows.
Near Whetzel’s fortieth birthday she purchased new home furniture and wanted some tropical paintings to go with the new furnishings. Sandi had grown up with a motto that had served her well whenever something had been a bit beyond her reach. It was, “…Necessity is the mother of invention.” She always derived a certain satisfaction with inventing her version of the desired object. She thought, “How hard could it be to do the paintings myself? After all, I have been painting T-shirts and watching the instructional videos on TV.” Sandi immediately started painting all on her own, making discoveries through trial and error. During that time frame, she also ran a child day care business at home. While the three toddlers took their midday nap, Sandi took out her paints and painted for an hour or so during the weekdays. Eventually she took art instruction from a very talented and devoted community college art instructor, Bonnie Hill of Roseburg, OR. In 1997 after only a few years of instruction, Bonnie recommended Sandi to replace herself as instructor of the classes. Bonnie became Sandi’s close friend and mentor; a treasured source of inspiration and knowledge. Whetzel has been painting and instructing art ever since.
When speaking of her art, Sandi has remarked, “I hope my art warms the spirit and inspires people to pursue their dreams. Art that does that for us helps to make our working and living environments more of a sanctuary in stressful times.”
It looks cold but it was our warmest day at 27c. The sun came out at the end if the day sadly. On our holiday we spent 20 days in Queensland with the first in for two nights in Brisbane before heading to Noosa on the Sunshine Coast in Australia for six nights.
The Noosa area was originally home to several Aboriginal groups. These primarily include the Undumbi tribe to the south, the Dulingbara to the north, and the Kabi Kabi (or Gabbi Gabbi) to the west.
Although reports of the area can be traced back to Captain Cook's voyages in May 1770, European settlement in the region did not proceed for almost a century. This early settlement was primarily driven firstly by timber logging and then secondly a gold rush in the Gympie area, north of Noosa. The difficulty of transport in the region, which persisted to the 1920s and beyond, was one major reason for this.
In 1871, the Government laid out a port at Tewantin, which was duly surveyed and by 1877 contained two hotels, a boarding house, school, police station and telegraph office. In 1872, the Noosa Heads and coastal region north to Peregian Beach was set aside as an Aboriginal Mission, however this was cancelled in 1878 and land was opened for selection on 15 January 1879. With the advent of the railway, Tewantin declined in importance.[4]
In the last 50 years Noosa has been transformed from an isolated fishing village to a popular tourist destination. Although this has had its costs the shire is known for its generally greener approach to development. Most development in Noosa has been restrained. Noosa has no high rise buildings, due both to local community pressure and to council planning action, and much remaining native forest. 34.8 per cent of the Noosa district consists of National Parks, Conservation Parks, State Forests, and other generally protected land.
The popularity of Noosa comes from the fact that is it one of Australia's few North facing beaches located on the East Coast, hence Noosa Beach is relatively protected from on-shore wind and storms.

One the first things I noticed on the street Barcelona were the flags draped from many balconies. A quick Wikipedia search taught me that these flags are the Estelada, the flag of Catalonian independence.
There are two versions here, the nationalist flag with the blue triangle and white star and the socialist flag with the red star. The hardest thing about getting a balcony panorama are the lovely trees that line the streets.

The reflection of sun off snow quite literally hurt my eyes, so I did not spend a lot of time in Yokote before hopping on the Ou Line.
First I have to make two statements:
a) I am result orientated!
Let me give you a practical example what that means.
I own one handbag. In that I have spare batteries, a tape measurer, emergency tools, emergency nail varnish, wipes, money, plaster, lynx deodorant, I have teenagers, magic medicine, as in Haribos, safety pins is standard equipment for mums, so I won’t go any further down that route, short,the lot. To repack that every time would take much too much effort. It is much easier to colour coordinate my wardrobe to make that one handbag fit all. Result!
It’s exactly the same with my camera. I’m not a gadget person. I’d like to have one camera that does it all. Basta.
b) I’m a woman. I do not get terrible excited about technical details, so that kind of woman I am!
A car needs to have 4wheels and be preferably in an easy recognisable colour, my mp3 needs to be capable of playing music and I’d like to make phone calls with my mobile.
And that’s where the problem starts. Recently in a camera shop, because I need a new camera, after years it’s time to part, so in that camera shop that lovely man, very proud of his job, started to suggest cameras to me. He really tried hard, but it just doesn’t work with me. After third D-suchandsuch is better because soandso I had a shutdown. A complete shutdown.
I shoot with a Nikon D60. I bought it 3 years ago to get me back into photography. Years and years ago or in the olden days, as my charming children like to refer to, I used to do the lot at uni when we were still on film. I did develop my own films and prints.
Somehow life got in the way and I never made the transition to digital. When Morgensternchen got me into blogging I needed however pictures. I bought the Nikon D60, because I’m a Nikon person and because the D60 was on sale.
The D60 is what I call a sunshine camera. She does what she is supposed to do in good weather or generally in good conditions. If all you want is to take a snapshot here or a snapshot there she is all right. Question though is why would you want a DSLR in the first place if for that?
If that’s all you want why not go for a Panasonic DMC range!? I personally don’t own one, but what I see on flickr are fantastic results (reminder ... point a) I made earlier, results).
Leaves the D90 as a minimum starter camera. However I would personally recommend the Nikon D7000. It is a little more expensive, but and this is a big but, you get so much more out of it. In photography you get what you pay for. To name a few the D7000 is weather sealed, very handy at the rugby pitch, great image quality and the higher ISO is good for indoors.
To cut this long story short I pre ordered the D800. I had my eye originally on the D700, however after long collaboration and because the D800 has a movie function and less noise at higher ISO, something very important when you can’t use flashlights or any other lights I decided to go big.
I’m doing a lot of sports, rugby and judo mainly, portraits and abstract landscapes and street and younameitIdoit photography. So I need a clever all-rounder. I don’t think it is a starter camera though and I’m convinced it is far to advanced for me, but I’m a quick learner, determined and competitive.
I feel at the moment I pushed old Donna (that’s what my D60 is called) too much in too many directions, you name it, she had to endure it. She needs a break from me.
I shall report back on my findings of the D800.
Haven’t got a name yet. That will be the most difficult bit ;)
In the meantime one thing I can recommend is the lens. If it fits on your camera get it: the AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 VR. The stabiliser is amazing. There is a more light sensitive version, but also a lot more expensive.
I would go almost so far to say I’m not only a one handbag woman, but also a one lens woman :)
One way or the other if I had to choose three things to take on a lonely island with me: this lens would probably the first thing I’d pack!
Have a lovely weekend, me Lovelies!
Yours
The one M
