This is SoffÃa Rún Kristjánsdóttir, 19 and lives in Garðabær. This wasn´t actually shot for this project, was going to do something else but we threw together a photoshoot last minute and this was one of the photos taken there. I liked the outcome so I asked SoffÃa if she would mind I use her for this series and she didn´t.
Henný actually takes most of the credit for this photo as it is her idea and of course she did the makeup. Lighting is just three lights, two with honeycombs from the back and one from the front with a 75° softlite reflector and then I put a silver reflector between us under her face.
This is one awesome little cove. After scouting the abandoned pier in the previous shot we headed to the main beach in Davenport for sunset. High tide was at 4pm and sundown was scheduled for 4:45 so we watched as the waves pounded the rocks. I needed the tide to go down a bit so I could get into this position and we must have sounded like little kids watching fireworks as each wave seemed to get bigger. These rocks are really slippery and as I was contorting to get this shot my Oakley's feel just inches from this crack of rushing water. I was able to snatch them just in time before they were taken out to sea. I also made a similar b&w version that I like so much I'll have to post later.
This is what autism looks like. So much is shadowed and hidden. Unclear. Especially in the early days, I've found that it's so easy to spend time and energy mourning what I think I've lost. What's hidden in the shadows. The details I don't understand. But the further we go together on this journey, the easier it is for me to focus on the patches of light. The things I do know, and I do understand. That he will always be the friendliest kid on the playground. That he is, to his core, the oldest brother... And every little thing that entails. That he is not afraid to stand up in front of a hundred strangers and play a violin solo. That his heart is the purest I have ever known.
This is a very interesting part of Dublin. St. Michael's Church was a Roman Catholic and later Church of Ireland church which was located in High Street, Dublin, Ireland.
The two remaining stretches of the City Wall visible above ground can be seen at St Audoen’s Church and at the nearby Cornmarket
This Lancia Ypsilon was registered last February. So it is one of the last ones sold outside of Italy. After the failed attempt to sell Chrysler models in Europe as a Lancia Fiat didn't see a future for the brand anymore.
This always means the rainy season is about to begin. Beautiful flowers stand on long legs, a sentimental favorite.

She is the barista at the coffee place near my house. She works both in Hernando and in Olive Branch Mississippi. She is going to school for Business and baking and one day wants to open her own place up. By the way, this is also my 161 st photo of the year!
This loco went into preservation and was given the name 'Mayflower' which was originally carried by 61379. Note the flagman regulating the almost non-existent traffic. This now the site of a supermarket.

This image of a Black Vulture was captured out on Loop Road, Sweetwater Strand area, in the Big Cypress Swamp.
There are two kinds of vultures in Florida: turkey vultures (red heads) and black vultures. Turkey vultures hunt by using their extraordinary sense of smell. Black vultures hunt by using their extraordinary eye sight: they watch the turkey vultures. When the turkey vultures go down, the black vultures follow.

This bus was new to Lothian Country as 9202 in 2019.
Seen here heading under the B9080 on the M9 at Winchburgh on the EX2.
This steppe mammoth sculpture, Mammoth on Holiday, is at the front of Cromer Pier and was designed by Karis Youngman as part of the GoGo Discover trail of T.Rex and steppe mammoths.
This was originally a Circuit City electronics store. Right before Circuit City failed this store was converted to a Circuit City Warehouse Store. This store was used as The Flow Skatepark and now is vacant again.

This huge ornate tree was very distinctive and caught my eye. I'm sure it will look even better during the summer months. I guess its a few hundred years old.

this is another set taken for my diploma, male natural light. we shot quit late in the evening for these images so had to battle the midday sun we had used a reflector for the most part just to diffuse the sun a little.
This is my sister and my only sibling. She is an amazing little lady with many talents. I'm so proud of her and the little woman she is becoming. I have so much faith in her and her bright future.
She is a great sister to me and wonderful aunt to my son. He only has one and I'm glad it's her. She is truly a blessing in all our lives and I am so grateful for her.

This image showcases the iconic Ferry Building Clock Tower in San Francisco, a timeless landmark symbolizing the city’s rich history and maritime heritage. The architectural style of the tower is inspired by the 12th-century Giralda in Seville, Spain, yet it possesses a distinctly San Francisco character. The structure features classic lines, a muted beige facade, and four prominent clock faces that are a defining feature of the waterfront skyline.
At the very top, the American flag flutters gently, adding a sense of pride and identity to the scene. Below, a white flag bearing a logo and the California state flag flank the base of the tower, further grounding the image in its locale. The overcast sky provides a soft, diffused light that highlights the textures and details of the tower's design, while the faint hints of blue in the clouds contrast subtly with the building’s warm tones.
The clock faces are elegantly designed with Roman numerals and ornate black hands, giving them a classic yet functional aesthetic. The open colonnade near the top of the tower adds depth and a sense of lightness to the otherwise solid structure, creating a balance that draws the eye upward.

Thanks for your visit and all your comments and favs!
People ask me from time to time how do I fight dust. Well, I don't - it's a passive resistance: thanks to my talented friend, a while ago I got this fashionably dotted, dark blue beauty ;). The trees and ground plates all sleep in their boxes. Still gloomily waiting for the transportation crate for the platform... but I can see a light in the tunnel!
This evening we are in Clovis, New Mexico, This set of road power has ducked into the yard for one covered hopper. It must have been important! From here the will get their train together and head for Belen and points west.
I miss the solid blue and yellow lash-ups. Wah-wah...
January 1996. Canon F-1 on Kodachrome 25.
This one was certainly a challenge to get without getting soaked! You cant see in the photo but this puddle was huge and goes far back i had to wait way back for a clear road so i could grab this photo and of course the find itself
This photograph is part of a project called ‘What The Light Might Expose’ which focusses onthe light that escapes from windows into the night sky. My final piece is a montage of strangers’ windows taken in the darkened months of Winter. I was intrigued by the cold, dark surroundings where as an onlooker you can only imaginewhat is happening inside the windows… unless the curtains are open.
This story began a couple years ago with this photo. The lovely Sally Monster never tasted caramel-apple candy corn so I made a mental note to send some to her the following year when it was in the stores again.
Fast forward to last fall. I noticed the "autumnal" goodies while shopping and picked up an extra bag for Sally. I was all ready to mail them off to England, but Sally was on her way to the U.S. and I didn't have her address in the states.
Fast forward again to last week. Everytime I opened the pantry, I would see the hefty bag of noms and think of Sally. I knew that I couldn't send them to her with last years date on the package, so after resisting temptation for a year, I finally caved and decided to turn them into cookies and call them "Sally Monsters."
I thought the chewy candy corn would bake like chocolate chips... I was sadly mistaken!
The aroma of brown sugar, fresh apples and sweet candy called me back to the kitchen for a looksee before they were done baking. I excitedly opened the oven only to find what looked like golden-brown cookies in a pool of blood! The candy corn seperated from the cookies and covered the entire bottom of the cookie sheet with bubbling hot redness.
Zombie BuNnY MoNsTeR, Donna B. Dead must have heard me shriek with horror. (not beacuse of what looked like a Betty Crocker autopsy, but because, hey... I'm supposed to be a chef, damn it!) Donna left her cozy hiding spot on the bookshelf, (behind Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned) looked at me and with an expression of insanity and inquisitiveness, and exclaimed, "brainz?!"
"No, not brainz" I replied, but she devoured half of them before I could explain. So... while I may have failed miserably as far as creating a new recipe, I succeeded in getting Donna's mind off brainz and into cooking. Or so I thought...
Now she's hanging out on the kitchen bookshelf around Julia Childs' Mastering the Art of French Cooking, studying page 408; Ris de Veau et Cervelles...
Aka "Sweetbreads and Brains."

View On Black... If you dare ;~)P
This video shows thunderstorms affecting our annual family camping trip! Our camping trip this year was from July 19-22, 2015. This year, we headed to the Wolf Creek Campgrounds located at the Union Valley Reservoir. The thunderstorms quickly formed during the afternoon hours. Skies were quite clear during the morning. Talk about afternoon convection and atmospheric instability in the making! We even heard quite a few faint rumbles of thunder while we were at the lake. (If you want, put volume up and if possible, wear headphones to hear the thunder). The storms came when we were right at the lake...but it was perfect timing. Now I got to enjoy my type of weather! Even some of us wanted to go for a dip in the lake during the rain/thunderstorm lol. It was a great experience indeed! The storms subsided by the late afternoon hours...
(Footage/pics taken on Monday, July 20, 2015 while in and around the Union Valley Reservoir, at the Wolf Creek Campground side.)
How things got interesting weather-wise:
Our trip so happens to fall in days when the region was to experience thunderstorms! What timing, right?! Even on Sunday, July 19, 2015 when our trip started, this was the same time when moisture from the remnants of former Hurricane Dolores went over SoCal, breaking rainfall records there. Even when we were leaving San Jose, CA, t-storms have already occurred around the Monterey areas!! Some of the moisture even eventually made it up here around the Sierra Nevada where we were! So I took full advantage of this and took quite a few photos and video of the t-storms that did form and drift into our campground. On Monday, July 20, 2015, some of us even had the rare chance to swim in the reservoir during a thunderstorm! Don't worry, we didn't get struck by lightning, though one of us saw a CG lightning strike nearby to our north or so! It was a nice experience to swim in the lake in such weather! Then on Tuesday, July 21, 2015, the region had another similar weather pattern. T-storms developed again during the afternoon hours. Even a severe t-storm warning was issued for the region as slow-moving storms popped up around the area. Some of us (including me) were lucky enough to see some lightning from a slowly approaching storm cell to our south! The fun part was seeing these storms develop and approach towards while we were chilling\swimming at the lake. Overall, our annual family camping trip this year was an interesting one, thanks to the storms! The t-storm development had slowed down at the time when we were leaving, too (Wednesday, July 22, 2015)! It's pretty neat to realize that the storms had occurred only when we were there up in the Sierras.

This wooden statue by Zadkine represents the body of a man. He is stretched out with a slight rotating movement from the ankles up to the raised left arm which has been cut off. The head is bent and hangs down onto the right shoulder. Zadkine's statue follows the natural form of the tree trunk
Featuring 120 artworks, the Dwarsverbanden (Delinking and Relinking) exhibition spans all five floors of the museum's collection wing. The exhibition invites you to experience art differently. Sometimes in the literal sense, by touching, smelling or listening to it; other times metaphorically, by giving expression to different, lesser-known voices.
The Van Abbemuseum is a museum of modern and contemporary art in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Established in 1936, the museum is named after its founder, the cigar businessman Henri van Abbe, who loved modern art and wanted his collection to be enjoyed in Eindhoven.
This is a beautiful spot in the Outer Banks of North Carolina to capture the early morning light shining on a picturesque lighthouse.
This week, something from an audio visual collaboration I'm doing with a musician friend of mine. (In reality, he's more of a sound artist, than strict musician.)
This is one of a series of images taken this week in response to a sound file he sent me. If anyone's brave enough, here's a link to the short, resulting piece - youtu.be/CH0Uc0GUlaM
This is another image of the Red and Yellow Hybrid Rose series I ran a couple weeks ago.. Have been asked by a couple of friends if I had more.. We all know the answer to that... Enjoy...

Who said that balloons are only for #kids? What about this lovely coffee table? Happy birthday @designbunker! That’s a present for you. Project: Up Balloon Coffee Table Round - Edition 2015 Design by Duffy London (@duffylondon) This uplifting design was conjured up by master illusionist Christopher Duffy, working with the concept of levitation and buoyancy. The UP Balloon Table is a playful trompe l’oeil, giving the impression of a glass table top being suspended by red, gold and silver balloons. Toughened glass, metal resin composite, and toughened steel rods comprise the materials used and, despite their durable quality, formulate a feeling of weightlessness.

This car, in use as a trainer (Fahrschule) in 1998 and numbered 132, was, I think, car 44, a Tatra T3 new in 1973. I think it is now (2019) on display in the Liberec technical museum. 12 March 1998.
