Candid shot of Mick the biker in the Coastal Rider Cafe Blackpool. If he knew I was shooting him, it would have been a different expression entirely!
I want a frame for the squares that has some flexibility to adjust to different sizes. Part of the problem is that there are studs that need to be allowed for sticking out of the brackets. So I put 1x2 tiles on them and slide them to the right spot, which messes with the geometry. So the 9x9 square with a 2x2 stud border worked fine. I kept thinking smaller ones should be easily frame-able too. So I tried a 4x4 square on a 6x6 stud base, but it was just ever-so-slightly too tight. Here is a 3x3 on a 5x5 base, and it is ever-so-slightly too loose. You can see how all the grey pieces don't snap right in to where they ought to be. It all becomes a huge mathematical mess.
But then problem-solving is fun.

Sunset Thinking
Do you ever watch the sunset
And just sit and think about things
Just you and the sky and darkness
Giving your thoughts some wings
Perhaps you’re got some troubles
And don’t know what to do
Or you just plain need to get away
To spend a little time with you
Sunset beauty makes you feel as though
Your life has meaning after all
To see a sight so extraordinary
Makes you feel capable, strong and tall
It’s funny how flashes of color
Like a sunset or sunrise can inspire
It can calm your inner self a bit
It’s a scene you can never tire
The serenity gives you a chance
To put things in perspective
Life can be overwhelming at times
And a sunrise can be reflective
So when the sky lights up next time
Let your gaze do some drinking
Soak up and the amazing sights
And do some sunset thinking!

So i was thinking and i guess i figured it out. i wasn’t sure if my friend’s words were from God. something i didn’t know. but i asked Him and i got to talk with someone – with not knowing at all, that she’s been through the similar thing few days ago. wow, God knows whom to put my way to talk to, it always amazes me.
and so, i am not going to change anything. about myself, about my pictures. i will not share it on facebook anymore so that friends wouldn’t have to worry about me. but I will not change the only thing that reminds me I am alive and remember what’s important at times. He is. and I am not shying away from it. photography is the only thing that allows me to be absolutely honest with my feelings, with myself alone. and I know if I was about to change, I would only start pretending in the one thing I learnt to be truly honest in.
most importantly. I feel like my pictures are prayers. my confessions to Him. and pretending something in photography, would be kind of like pretending in front of Him. Which is unthinkable.
so I will stay the same and if that means being sad, well… that’s how I feel, and God doesn’t want me to pretend anything else. I can hear him saying
“I want you the way you are. I love you deeply for who you are. if you are sad right now, that’s fine. I love you just the same when you are sad. I love you no matter what. just don’t pretend. bring it to me, and be as you are. come as you are.”
this is what I was told. isn’t it incredible? hard to believe it’s true. Oh, how He loves us.
I am not running away from who I am or how I feel – as well as I am not sinking into suffering, but will look for joy in everything as I used to. but I can’t put joy and pretend happiness in things I don’t feel it in, see it. until God shows it to me even in these things.
so this is happy picture for you, because i am happy. kind of.
By Rumi:
“Put your thoughts to sleep,
do not let them cast a shadow
over the moon of your heart.
Let go of thinking.”
Today's challenge for ODC is one that my inital response was to ignore and not do - the topic?
'Our parents war'
i.e. something that depicted something they were passionate about,
or even wider possibilities..
The person who set this topic is supremely creative so I hope he'll forgive me for deciding that the freedom to think - whoever we are and whatever our history - is both simply and profoundly vital!
We are all part of this wider entity we call "Earth".
Access to sufficient open spaces to gain perspective matters!
I've been thinking things over too lately.
Oh by the way, did you spot the camouflaged little thing in the previous pic?
Have a good weekend!
This is an old photo made in Kyoto back in 2005. Later on, I made hundreds of photos there, but from time to time I return to this one as if it wants to tell me something important that I may otherwise forget.
Isn't she beautiful?
Today me and my friend did kind of like a small photo shoot. Some pictures turned out really nice, so I'm quite satisfied. Although I wasn't really comfortable, because I had no ideas in my head! And it's always like that. When I'm alone I can improvise without problems, but when I'm with others my mind just goes blank! I hope this won't happen anymore, it confuses me.
Anyway, she was making funny faces when all of a sudden she said "Let's think about HIM"(her boyfriend), and the shot came out really well!
PRESS L PLEASE It won't take much. I love looking at pictures in lightbox, because it's a total different thing at times. Like when I go through 365 projects, or other, I love browsing in L. try :)
She's been in Barcelona for almost a decade, that I'm aware.
She walks with a stoop, has worn similar clothing in the 10+ years and exuded an aura of mystery.
I like this photo a whole lot.
The picture above is the first photo I took of her.
This day, the sun light was at its best.
She was walking and pacing in that way when one is "asking" for money from the tourists.
I looked around the Cathedral to observe any persons of interest, (meaning YOU!).
I turned and I saw her sitting with the light enveloping her.
I clicked, wouldn't you?
May be the last photo I take of her but I've learned never to say never.
