earnest but tense desire, a keen anxiety to succeed.
(this is not the first time I post pictures of these chairs, I just thought it was appropriate for what is going on in my life, right now)
Testing what may be my new camera once my back is sufficiently recovered to carry a backpack again, hopefully in the new year. As you would expect, I’ve carried out a rigorous, highly scientific test:
1. Can I carry it? Yes, all the way to the garden, no problem at all.
2. Does it fit in my pack? Probably. It’s around here somewhere.
3. Will it focus close enough to photograph a small pile of frosty leaves? Yes.
4. Are said leaves sharp? I should say so.
5. Will it photograph other stuff? I don’t see why not.
6. Have I comprehensively compared it to other cameras? Not really. I like this one.
7. Was it an impulse Black Friday buy? Maybe. I don’t see what that’s got to do with it.
8. Have you told the wife? No need. She can’t tell it apart from the old one.
9. So that’s that then? Yep. Proper job.

first printing of Helium for the Periodic Table project. I'm not happy with all the white space, so I think I'll do a very pale solid blue background layer, then put pale grey clouds and a bright red balloon. Might also try to paint a bit of yellow or orange onto the sun to make it more firey. Lots to try anyway.
Today we take a “Colorized Rorschach Test” as ink is dropped into water, and the photo is dropped into Photoshop…
For some reason this reminds me of Nicodemus from "The Secret of NIMH."

Thanx for Viewin, Favin, and Commentin on my Stream!
Gestern habe ich mein Geburtstagsgeschenk geholt und bin sehr zufrieden. Die neue Camera ist leichter und besser :-)
Featured today is a kitchen timer with words from a timed typing test in the background. "Get ready for a ten-minute timed writing." Does anyone remember those words?

I had to get a new computer, so I am in the process of calibrating the screen and need your opinion.
Please tell me if the skin colors look correct to your eye's.
Thanks!
I went out a couple weeks ago at the peak of leaf peeping season to take advantage of all the incredible colors. As usual I took a quick "throw away" shot just to test my settings. I knew this wouldn't be a keeper because it is such a cliche and I assumed I'd need to adjust my settings to account for the dark, rainy morning light. After a couple 100 shots, it turned out that this was one of my favorites.
The Flamingo Test is a single-leg balance test that is part of the Eurofit Testing Battery. It is used to evaluate static balance and overall body balance. The test assesses the ability to balance successfully on a single leg and is commonly used as a field motor test of balance for healthy subjects and athletes.
Just recently I’ve seen quite a few of my contacts heading over to 500px (for those of you that are unfamiliar with it, it’s a new photo social networking site, but unlike flickr you can vote for images to reach the front page). Now I know there are plenty of other photography social networks around, ephotozine, photoradar, x1, even facebook, but what I find interesting about the rise of this new one is not the site in particular, but the my contacts behaviour in approaching this new site. Many are posting what they themselves consider their best most successful work, filtering their new uploads to present them in the very best light. Now, there is nothing wrong with this at all, in fact it’s a good way to gauge a new community and gain valuable feedback. But for most new members dipping their tow into the water, their new community is largely the same faces with different avatars. There is nothing new and it’s like a different pub with the same friends, it feels fresh, but people still behave the same.
Any social network is based on its members and the rewards come from the social interaction. Personally I find maintaining several different social networks are very difficult. Investing limited time in different places weakens the experience and even changes your brain. ironically I was a listening to a neural scientist yesterday on Radio 4 that said , (and I paraphrase), our new fast and fleeting world of quick face book texting, email and the quantity of distractions is damaging our neural pathways. He said that people generally find it difficult to concentrate in the depth due to distractions and the quality of concentration is improved with no distractions from email, text, ect!
Anyway I digress, but the point I want to make is that anything that you really engage in, in depth offers bigger physiological rewards; it pushes you further and enriches your life.
Oh, just for an experiment I posted a new shot to this new site first to see how I felt about it. I personally will keep only one social network, but I will stay with the one that offers the deepest and best engagement with the people that I respect and find inspiration in their work. Where that will be in the future time will tell.
He was busy eating.. a friend of mine asked him to pose for his camera.. n' i took the advantage.. lol
Recently I played through both Portal games for the first time, needless to say I loved them. I bought some Dimensions pieces but largely wanted to make my own adaptation of a worn down test chamber.

Marco Montanari mi coglie intento a studiare il testo di "tempo reale" prima di entrare in cabina voci per registrare il brano dell'album matumago x-press...
grazie Sfrevol!!
ed ecco il testo dell'inciso e la prima strofa:
Crea la realtà, il tempo,
radici nelle forme s’offre alla continuità
per realizzarla, ci lasha orme,
ke okkio umano non ricordi se non cerkerà,
dorme nelle nebbie dell’età
ormeggia in porti grigi salpa con la creatività enorme
fiera della vanità
deformerà l’istinto libero e la carne degli dei
coi suoi sei 6 sei sacrifikerà!
Se vai nell’emporio del tempo e lo spazio,
cerki l’ampolla con dentro il composto d’equinozio e solstizio
col sole ke si ferma, qui dalla terra ferma a lassù sulla stella,
lenta come creshita di erba su colli pregiati
per i vitigni ke vi si sviluppa...
avvisi di paniko sholgo in una densa skiuma ke tutto lo stress avviluppa
faccio shendere strippati per ritmi frenetici dalla luna colla capa per mezzo di shuttle shaluppa,
seghe e pugnette e BACILARE(1) poco poco
ti rendi conto quanto ce ne resta poco, dopo
il tempo passa sempre troppo poco svelto se t’imparanoi
passa a lampo se lo godi ed altro ne vuoi,
impara come noi altri a fregarli
dall’avamposto del sogno rompo incantesimi e trattati di Darwing
