Its been a stressful last week or so and i feel that it is taking a toll on my photographic creativity. Tonight i shot two completely different sets of self portraits and disliked them both, because i feel that they had little thought put into them. So i went to play piano for a while. I am so glad my school has a piano open for anyone to play. barely anyone plays it and is in a spot whee there usually is not many people. its a spot i like to go and think. Im not much of a piano player but it is quite relaxing for me, i can clear my head and think again, worry free. So i decided id photograph this spot. and i am glad did, this image is much better than any of the other ones i took today. I am no longer frustrated or upset about my lack of creativity and ideas after playing for a while. today was good.

Had to take this picture because Rookie licks Ace's face and then it looks like he has an evil moustache.

I don't think I ever did blonde to the Faire before. On a whim, I just decided on a change from my usual auburn, and I did get some very positive personal comments.

Ai! Há tantos pensamentos que não dão mais resultado que um fole: ao inchar, aumentam o vazio.

The mecca of technology, I am sure the likes of davecparty, djpoe, jamief, James Yeung, marianNYC, - Loomax -, Barry Yanowitz and CANEOS7E to name a few of my NYC flickr friends can tell me where this is? Love the pads of the feet hence the title.
Tumbling down the rabbit hole? Just do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
What is reality and what is a dream, it all merges into one!
I watched a free Shakespeare in the Park play in Central Park, Louisville. Fun!
One of my favorite quotes is Brutus opining on the rise of Rome's dictator, Julius Caesar:
"He would be crowned:
How that might change his nature,
there's the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, [...]
And therefore think him as a serpent's egg
Which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous"
—from William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar
Ah, I see. It is also Shakespeare, not just the Roman Senate, who struggled with the nature of power. The powers of a dictator make a good man a snake, poisonous to Rome. Power and the structures of power changes a man. It corrupts. So how can checks and balances be designed to curtail the natural desire of the chief executive to dictate all things?
Shakespeare's Britain was painfully, slooowly evolving an answer to that question. There were Britain's civil wars. Almost two centuries later, it was the young upstart Americans who would provide a good answer, thanks to the abuses and inadequacies of their colonial rulers, Britain's government.

again next Summer....yippee! So, adios,
adieui, au revoir.....and just plain ol' bye
bye, Pretty Zinnias....we'll miss you; but
we'll see you later!" :)

Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.

I've found shooting with film to be a very different experience than using a digital camera. While using my digital I usually like to work a subject from various distances and angles, shooting from all different perspectives to decide later which I prefer. Pressing the shutter on my Retina Reflex is an event. Each frame has value, or at least cost, and comes along with a build up of anticipation that lasts much longer than the split second it takes for a digital to spit out an image preview. In fact, I'm finding that a roll of film lasts me longer than I would like before I'm able to find enough quality subjects to fill it.
This image is from a test shoot with my donor camera. You can see the two missing leatherette pieces which cover the screws securing the front assembly.
Please take a look in Lightroom =)
