For the record, I'm not sitting on the toilet, but this is my impression of that thinking man statue.
18/52 MOODY theme. Thought my son looked rather pensive here (of course I had to spy to get this shot!)
I have been spending a lot more time - too much time, really - in my room this past month than I ever have before. I either sit or lie down while I play some "Easy Listening" music on my iTunes playlist, or I fade into nothingness with silence and the hushed whooshing of my ceiling fan. Occasionally, I will pick up my guitar and play something. But it's always the same song, and the same song gets old...
I think of only one thing when I am in this room, and it's the one thing that makes my stomach turn and my eyes water and my body ache... My thoughts make me shudder, and yet - I am only but still. And I only wish that time would freeze with me so that I would not have to deal with these other things such as school, homework, and chores. My attention span for those three things has cut more than half because of you.
I don't want to get up; I miss you.
gargoyle atop le Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris, always makes me reminisce. always puts me in the mood for more Paris.
Notre Dame offered some of the best views of the city. other than La Tour Eiffel, that is.
Musty thinking about the meaning of life
"why I awake from my comfortable, clean and soft bed every morning, receive some kisses from my humans, eat a bowl of a high quality dog food, spend my day playing with my adoptive sister Ginny and the most funny toys, go for a walk or run in the park, smelling the flowers than again in the evening I eat again the high quality dog food, receive some kisses from my humans and sleep in my comfortable, clean and soft bed, why?"
Recently, under the heading 'Looking for the Light', Tony started a discussion about the relationship between photography and thinking. That interests me, but I'm also interested in the relationship between writing and thinking, and beyond that I'm interested in what happens in a conversation such as this when we mix photographs, words, and thought in in this new medium. I noticed the extract pictured above in a newspaper and saw an opportunity to resume discussion.
For me the process starts not with a text or photograph, but with people and things in the real world. My approach is to look around me, to open my eyes, to try to see more clearly, and then to think about what I have seen. Currently I'm using my camera as a notebook to bring scenes home for further thought. Writing caption such as this helps me to develop my thoughts; the discussion that I hope will follow will add to my understanding.
Who knows? I may even put a few sequences of thought together and weave them into a more coherent picture.

This was from xmass day 2009. I have been going back through my old unprocessed images and finishing them. I did shots of each of the guests in front of the tree. This year I am thinking of few ways to spice things up.
I'm thinking about buying a macro lens, at the moment I'm leaning towards the Sigma 150mm Macro, but I'm still weighing up my options.
This shot was done using my Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX reversed on the camera body.
