#360/365 Just trying new things. Playing with exposures on Christmas. I really like the backlight in this. I'm still messing around with film type looks. This is a lot different from my other portraits but I like it. Hope everyone had a great christmas and continue to have a good weekend.

"It's so easy to laugh,
It's so easy to hate,
It takes strength to be gentle and kind,
Over, over, over, over, over.
It's so easy to laugh,
It's so easy to hate,
It takes guts to be gentle and kind,
Over, over…
Love is natural and real,
But not for you, my love,
Not tonight, my love.
Love is natural and real,
But not for such as you and I, my love…
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my...."

'I Know It's Over'
Tram #4 pulling into the terminus in Munkkiniemi
The title is pinched from the Smiths.
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore
excuse me, but do any of you know anything about getty images? i was asked by flickr to like upload and sell my pictures there. but i don't really know anything about them. well, i'm just asking because i thought that maybe some of you flickr-members maybe knew something. is it a good or a bad idea to become a member there? i don't really know what they can/can't do with my pictures or what rights they have and so forth.
Left: the pipe dream
Right: the reality

I don't actually want to look like the magazine picture. I'd look like a bobblehead.

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care

"Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head.
And as I climb into an empty bed –
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over – still I cling,
I don't know where else I can go.
Over....
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head.
See, the sea wants to take me,
The knife wants to slit me;
Do you think you can help me?"

'I Know It's Over'
Salford Lads Club, Coronation St, Salford
I couldn’t not post images of this room… after all, it’s what put the club on the national and global map judging by all the overseas visitors it attracts (Salford Lads Club is the third most visited music related venue in the UK next to the Abbey Road crossing and The Cavern). It’s a bit in-yer-face compared with the tranquillity of the Archive Room next door.
The left image is the photo of The Smiths outside its doors for their album sleeve – The Queen Is Dead, but in reality, it was more to do with Morrissey’s love of Coronation Street and the street sign high on the wall why it was used.
The right image is a mosaic I’ve never seen before as I’ve photographed all ten of the mosaics outside Afflecks Palace many years ago. A little bit of research and… in October 2012 Elaine Walsh, founder of Afflecks Palace donated the original mosaic from the building exterior, featuring Morrissey among other Manchester music icons to the club. The mosaic was created by Mark Kennedy and installed outside Afflecks Palace in 1995 – it was taken down in 2008 and replaced with newer versions.
I had the intention of doing a self-portrait today and had my camera and tripod all ready to go, then realized I forgot the little piece that connects the two, so I had to make do with setting my camera on the nearest rock.
Taken at the Gellhaus Farm, named after the family of German decent that settled here. This house is being torn down to make way for a new apartment complex. There's another view here that was taken the previous winter.
Here's the song from which the title came (The Smiths...)

Featured on the Flickr blog March 21, 2012. Thank you :)
This is one of my wonderful friends and her Polaroid
Thank you Tane for the testimonial <3
I used to think that I was just merely one of those people who preferred being alone. Or that I was unfriendly, or slightly segregated from the rest - something along those lines, something that would explain the discomfort I felt in social situations, the tenseness when I had to meet someone new, the fear of standing up in front of a large audience to speak.
Then people told me, quite simply, that I was shy. That was all.
And I managed to accept it, after that. Couldn't look someone in the eyes? That was fine, I was shy. Dislike public speaking? That was okay, it was still considered being shy. I was scared of meeting new people, hated plunging into huge groups and crowds, persistently refused to look at anyone in the eyes, would rather walk into a door than walk into a classroom full of people who, I knew, would lift their heads up and gaze at me.. in the few seconds they were probably wondering, 'Who is that girl' I would process the fear of being judged, the fear of being stared at, sick awkwardness and tension. Basically, everything unpleasant.
If you're shy, you, too, would understand all those feelings. The unspoken social pressures of being able to fit in, being able to be accepted, avoiding public humiliation, avoiding so many things. So, so many things. It stops me from approaching people, talking to strangers, looking friendly, appearing confident, speaking publicly, and so on. I wonder sometimes if that is why I have somehow fallen into the world of photography, because holding a camera on the pretext of capturing a moment also acts as an opaque shield for my emotions. I think of all the people who don't know the reasons, who don't know in essence who I really am, who just think of me as 'that photographer'.. that reminds me again of how passing quick judgement on someone just causes you to lose a person who you might have known, but never bothered to find out. They have lost me, in that sense.

Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder
And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It's death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder
And the calf that you carve with a smile
It is murder
And the turkey you festively slice
It is murder
Do you know how animals die?
Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not comforting, cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench of murder
It's not natural, normal or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour of murder
No No No - It is Murder
No No No - It is Murder
And who hears when animals cry?

Farewell Andy Rourke. It's always sad when our (musical) heroes leave us - and especially sobering when they're younger than you.
outtake from day one.
and i've just now realized it's going to be hard to choose the right photo for every day :(
Ai ai, tem tantas fotos que estou adiando há tanto tempo... sempre que consigo novas fotos eu passo a prioridade de upload da mais nova e deixo as outras para a fila de espera, não me aguento! Isso acontece com vocês também?
Mais uma foto do famoso golden hour mas em um outro dia e até em outra cidade diferente hehe Alguém se encoraja a dizer o que são os objetos por trás do desfoque? hahaha
Galera, saiu um novo post no blog, corram lá! :)
Morrissey's mum sadly passed away recently - touching flower tributes soon started to appear on the gates of her home. This image was taken by me on day one but they got much greater as time went on ...RIP Elizabeth
It makes none, but now you have gone,
and you must be looking very old tonight.
One of my favorites from a melancholic shoot yesterday.
Needs to be viewed in its size original size.

Coronation St, Salford
I’ve been meaning to visit here for a very long time, mainly to take a picture of the iconic front doors for my Etsy shop. Pop art, abstract art and logos seem to sell better than any landscape I’ve ever tried to sell.
Kathy’s parents both lived in Salford and her dad was a member of the club in his youth so it was a double reason to finally go and visit. It’s open to the public every Wednesday and Saturday between 11am and 2pm. It’s run by volunteers and we were met at the door by Ross – who originated from Devon, came to study in Manchester and has never left. Ross is a mind of information and as we were the only one’s there at opening time gave us a personal guided tour of the building and its history. It’s very impressive and I had the free rein of the building to take photos (with tripod I might add) with the Archive Room being the most impressive but I’ll write about that in another posting.
Salford Lads Club is the third most visited music related venue in the UK next to the Abbey Road crossing and The Cavern (you don’t get free coffee/tea and biscuits at those venues unlike SLC) – proper northern hospitality! Its fame was probably boosted by the iconic image of The Smith outside its doors for their album sleeve – The Queen Is Dead, but in reality, it was more to do with Morrissey’s love of Coronation Street and the street sign high on the wall.

"....I know it's over
And it never really began,
But in my heart it was so real.
And you even spoke to me, and said:
'If you're so funny,
Then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you're so clever,
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining,
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know: 'cause tonight is just like any other night.
That's why you're on your own tonight….'"
