First of all, points to the first person to point out the irony in this photo that wasn't planned at all and that I didn't even notice myself until days after I took the photo.
I haven't even picked up my camera again lately. I feel like I've had so much going on. I tried to write last night, but couldn't. I got all of like one line down to add to the line I already had down. This is not going as I had planned.
My creativity feels like it's lacking. Maybe it's due to having so much going on and so much on my mind. I need to let go.
We have a funeral to go to today. I'm leaving work early, which makes me happy, but attending this funeral will be so hard. How do you deal with watching someone grieve for a parent who passed away too young? I have no desire to see that pain across his face and eminate from his very core and be powerless to do or say anything to fix it. "I'm so sorry" just doesn't cut it. You would think being a minister's daughter and dealing with so many funerals as a child of people I knew would make it easier...somehow I think it made me numb. But then again, I've not had a close, personal experience with death really. I have not had someone that I was so close to pass away. My grandmother passed when I was about 12, I suppose. That was traumatic and hard, but I didn't go to her funeral. I didn't want that to be the last way I remembered her and that was my Mom's idea and I still thank her for that because she was right and I'm glad I didn't go. And while I thought she was awesome and she was my grandmother, we weren't really close.
To lose a parent? That's a whole nother kind of hurt for a child. Especially when the parent was so very young. My heart aches for our friend and I want to be there for him, but I fear no amount of consoling will be of any help. This will be something that he and time will have to work out together somehow, I suppose.
Maybe creativity will spur from this. There is a meaning, a purpose in today and I feel it down deep all of a sudden. I hope something good comes from today, especially being so shrouded in grief and darkness.
Sorry if this is a downer, but I write what's on my mind and in my heart and I won't hold back.

My first Painting since May '12. I had taken a break, while studying, but exam over. So it's back to trying to work on my portraiture. This was done in orange ink, and overdrawn in Charcoal.
My study showing my Mollie kitty sitting on 'her' mat on the corner of the desk! If I'm working, she's sitting here with me! This is where I spend most of my time and where most of my crafting is done.

I think my hallmark/trademark might be that I see more beauty in things than others, and I can never pick my favorite shot! For instance, as the sun set over the San Clemente Pier, I loved all the light!

Celebrating Dr. E's LAw of Moving Dimensions ^& Dynamic Dimensions Theory dx4/dt=ic which derives from Homer's Odyssey! "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them." --Homer's Odyssey! herosodysseyphysics.wordpress.com
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

不論什麼學歷和職務，學習經營和管理是有必要的，別抱怨公司沒給你培訓的機會，應該反省為什麼總是替逃避自我學習在找藉口。

One flash up stairs, one flash camera left, one flash behind camera. Single exposure. For real estate.
This is a better effort on another distortion photo.
This was taken on level 1 in the P-building (Police studies), where I wasn't standing in the middle of a hallway intersection looking so weird. I had to crop this after editing.
Didn't mean to get the guy studying privately though - I didn't realize he was there. I was on my way to a communications class.
