I think he is a happy spirit.
I found this tree when I went on my walk in our pasture. I must have walked past this tree dozens of times and never noticed it.

Can't think of a title for my life and another from the archives. Was a double exposure hence the title.
The sky was so bright that even with the 0.9nd I had to shoot two exposures (- 2 stops for skies) and glad I did as I shot in jpg at the time by mistake so could never of recovered a single shot.
Been grey and grey still here but there might be a glimmer on the horizon for the weekend.
Been shooting flowers and leaves in the meantime. Find this harder than seascapes as not used to these types of shots.
of what he's thinking ... what do you mean?

what do you think of this hooker style?
(sorry, I had no time for a decent make-up. Therefore, I used a unconventional filter for my face)
I think the biggest problem TVC had was how impossible certain figures were to find. This guy for example, shipped out for maybe a month or two at best.
'Tie me tightly, do you think I can be locked up?
If you strike me, will I be cut? March...
In this world that only loves bright things, am I too dark that I stand out?'
TUNE:
This picture is definitely out of my usual style and comfort zone, but I felt very inspired by Leaf's aesthetic so I thought it'd be fun to do something a little more twisted. Plus I don't get the chance to break out my male av a lot, so I figured he'd work well in this setting.
A little side note about the title of the picture. Manyo Maash literally means Witch Marsh in Korean, hence the translated title.
Moving on to the featured item:
AsteroidBox.'s new Nailed Posture collar for all of your morbid accessory needs! It's a collar with a nail right under ready to piece into your skull, what's cooler than that? It comes in a fatpack for 185L in Gold, Black, and Silver for the metals and white and black for the rest of the collar. There's a clean and bloody version of the nail along with a bloody chin tattoo to give you that pierced head look!
This adorably morbid collar can be picked up right now from ROMP all the way till the 26th!
Thank you again for joining me in this picture, Leaf! <3
I do think that perfectly describes how I look in my deliciously clingy leotard! I hope you agree!
Here's another pic from my 2010 archives!
My outfit for this shot consists simply of my black long sleeve Baltogs lycra spandex leotard from nydancewear.com along with my Osé Retina sparkly black lurex fishnet pantyhose from hosieree.com worn over Hanes Alive Barely There support hose from onehanesplace.com & my black leather peep toe mules from fredericks.com.

I think I'm getting the hang of not being on automatic with the camera and this is as it came out of the camera. 18 months of playing with my Nikon and its been great fun.
Thanks Pam for a lovely afternoon meeting and letting me spend a few minutes in your garden.

Some think it's bad luck to open an umbrella inside, but it didn't seem to do much for me.

"I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree."
Joyce Kilmer

We need to take more than one step at the time, if we want a life without breast cancer.
October is International Breast Cancer Awareness month.
I think I know where JW Turner got his inspiration from for his style of Impressionism; looking at the back of gravestones.
Jay and I have a fondness for what we call, with our weird sense of black humour, stalking the dead, i.e., visiting graveyards and cemeteries. We find them fascinating and strangely soothing places to be in…and a target rich environment for photography. It's possible to spend hours in them, finding all manner of subject matter to capture.
The above gravestone is located at a small village chapel tucked away on the slopes of Bickerton Hills. Fortunately, for the lichens that adorn the gravestones, and for we as photographers, there's a large mature stand of pine trees that shields the backs of the gravestones from direct sunlight thereby giving the lichens a perfect environment to grow in. Most important of all, though, unlike a lot of gravestones which are made from granite/marble, those at this graveyard are made from the local sandstone, which means they have a rough, porous surface which holds moisture and gives the lichens the best surface to grow on.
It was while I quietly walked amongst the graves searching for subjects that I saw this gravestone from behind. It stopped me in my tracks. I was stunned by the colours, textures and sheer variety of lichens on display but it was the Impressionistic quality that made me catch my breath. I immediately sat down, put my camera to one side and just stared in astonishment. It was like looking at a Turner painting, done at his most wildly Impressionistic! My imagination went into overdrive, to my eyes I saw woodland ablaze with green flame and smoke…
Slowly coming to my senses I picked my camera up and took this shot. I then spent the next 30 minutes checking the backs of all the other gravestones and shooting what I could before the light died. My face hurt from the stupid grin that was plastered to my face. I resolved there and then to create a series of images of these wonderful, living natural art creations. I'm fortunate that there are many similar chapel graveyards in the area so I should have quite a choice of subject matter to choose from.
This was taken on Prince, near Lafayette St. ... down in the SoHo district of Manhattan.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Jun 24, 2015.
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...
I think you know that I love Zao district which is located at the base of Mt. Zao.
I visit there throughout the year together with my wife.
I enjoy the beautiful sceneris of the four seasons and so on.
Flowers, new greens , rice fields, hot spring, autumn colors, snowy mountains and fantastic restaurants , fresh agricultural products ....
I have a few chances to visit there at the last October.
And the day I visited there was the cloudy day.
I introduce some photos.
蔵王地区は蔵王山の麓にありますが、わたしの好きな場所であることをご存知でしょう。
一年を通して家内と訪れます。
そして、四季の美しい景色を見ることができます。
花々、新緑、たんぼ、温泉、紅葉、雪を被った山々、すばらしいレストランに新鮮な農産物...
前回の10月は何度かしか訪問する機会がありませんでした。
そして、訪問した日は曇りの日でした。
