Bocas del Toro, Panama
Bocas del Toro (meaning "Mouth of the Bull") is a province of Panama. Its area is 4,643.9 square kilometers, comprising the mainland and nine main islands. The province consists of the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Bahía Almirante (Almirante Bay), Laguna de Chiriquí (Chiriquí Lagoon), and adjacent mainland. The capital is the city of Bocas del Toro (or Bocas Town) on Isla Colón (Colón Island). Other major cities or towns include Almirante and Changuinola.
Christopher Columbus and his crew first visited the area in 1502. Bocas del Toro borders the Caribbean Sea to the north, Limón Province of Costa Rica to the west, Chiriquí Province to the south, and Ngöbe-Buglé Comarca to the east. The Río Sixaola forms part of the border with Costa Rica. An old railroad bridge spans the river between Guabito and Sixaola, Costa Rica. The bridge is a border crossing used by tourists going between destinations in Bocas del Toro and Costa Rica.

Its been a while since my last self portrait so decided to be bold and brave with this one.
Landscapes are what i really like and havent ever been that into portraits but i have always fancied doing shots for bands mainly rock or metal bands and some of my favourtie images are from the old school punk/metal bands like "Madball" or "Agnostic Front" the slightly cheesey staged front covers with the members are the best!
That in mind id always wanted to use my garage to shoot and ran out whilst the dinner was cooking, so this was a bit rushed,..
I took one shot under exposed by -3 for the background which i further edited within Gimp 2.6
My second shot was taken with a flash exposure compensation of -2. I edited this in gimp as well and layered them together making my opacity just under half.
Id thought about adding text possibley "TRANSLUCENT" above my head but couldnt get it to look very good. not sure you can do anythign fancy in gimp with it, again any ideas or tips would be welcome.
a little tortoiseshell i found, he looked so pretty when the sun shone through his wings!
hope everyone has a great weekend

Meet the Dreamer, my new interactive art project, which I have just started to prototype. This illuminated sculpture aims to make us more aware of the characters who live inside our heads, and how our emotions influence the way we perceive the world around us.
The Dreamer’s head lights up with rear-projected videos of some of the characters who influence us, along with memories and feelings that fill in our minds, day and night. To show what the Dreamer is thinking, our first prototypes display images of people and nature, sparking different moods, each represented by a different colored light, such as: red for anger, orange for fear, yellow for happiness, green for surprise, blue for sadness, purple for love, for example.
You will be able to change the Dreamer’s worldview by pressing buttons that make him/her more happy or sad, angry or kind, fearful or curious (like social media emoticons). In response, the Dreamer’s head will light up with different colors and facial expressions, as these emotions are activated in his/her mind.
This kinetic sculpture can give us a glimpse at what goes on inside our heads, as images of our lives pass by, fleeting like clouds in the sky, colored by our moods. The Dreamer’s quiet face keeps transforming, responding to new images and emotions with images and sounds of its own.
As times goes by, we see the interplay of the forces that drive us: anger can turn into love, sadness into joy, fear into curiosity. And changing our emotions can transform how we view the world. We hope this experience can help us replace our destructive emotions with a more positive outlook.
The Dreamer is being developed at Tam Makers, our makerspace in Mill Valley, where we are building our first prototypes. This interactive art project will be presented in different ways:
• as part of the Time Machine we’re building at Pataphysical Studios
• as a stand-alone exhibit in art shows and galleries
• in large street performances during public events
• in short videos on the web
We’re still experimenting with different ways to create The Dreamer. The current plan is to vacuum form a mannequin head (for the prototype), then a clay sculpture of the preferred shape (for the final product), using translucent white plastic, flattened a bit at the mouth, eyes and forehead, so that we can rear-project a variety of faces onto the heads from inside.
