The bloke seemed so fragile in comparison to the car cavalry that was threatening to charge along the street that he was about to cross.

I think I'm doing a vulnerability black and white series. the only reason why i'm using this photo it's because i like my nose here.

West Coast Motors have a few services which link the Dunoon side of Cowal with the more isolated villages over to the west including the ferry ports of Colintravive & Portavadie. To reach the west there is only one direct road, the B836 which is single carriage way for nearly its entire length. WCM merc SF06ODT is seen around half way at loch tarsan heading for Kimes. This must surely be one of the few places you can ride on a step entry vario on normal service nowadays.

another outtake from my 'descent into madness' series
for laurence since she liked it and asked me to upload it :)
(also shot through plastic)
both of these are far more vulnerable whereas the photograph I'm using for the series is more frightening
I'll upload the series soon, promise
An oriole chick falls out of the nest after dad fights off a blue jay. Several red-winged blackbirds then arrived and the male oriole chased them off too.

Salon 8 is a group project: 8 photographers take on 26 themes.
26 ideas seen through 8 different sets of eyes.
Every two weeks we will posts these images of the world as we perceive it, as we dream and taste it.

"For what kind of man could ever find it so easy to let another one touch his very being at its weakest? Man would defend his wounds as he would defend his life. To trust is to be vulnerable, and to be vulnerable is to die. And few would ever risk dying in order to find new life." Author Unknown
Every time we see a Lion it is as if for the first time: in the Kalahari they rule desert with regal poise.
We came upon this magnificent young male in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, he had just made a kill and consumed an entire small antelope, then sought the shade for the after dinner nap!
Like all our large mammals, at risk, listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List.
Fuck the creativity blockage mixing up my thoughts. There are physical reactions as well: numbness in some parts of my head, sometimes pain on the top of my brain, a feeling of tightness in the left hand side of my belly, where liver and spleen coexist. Diagnosis? Anxiety attacks? May be... You wanna know what else? Numbness in my left hand side, partial lost of vision, sometimes kind of someone has flashed light to my eyes. Oh, yeah, do not forget the "involuntary" movements of my Achilles' heel; air tapping.

Day 87 of 365
Today was a healing day
I don't feel too weird posting this, I hope you all handle it maturely though.
I'm almost to the end of this.
Wow, I'm horrible with my 365.
Oh well.
I also seem to be only putting out golden hour and black and whites of my face/eyes/shoulders/hair.
Yeah, I need new stuff.
Sorry everyone.
But I'm shooting a music video tomorrow! Yay! Hoping for some good photos too!
Had Erin's beautiful new photo in mind when I took this, as well as Anna's photos in general. They're both incredible.
The Great White Desert of Kutch - At Sunset & after dark... shooting stars and star trails. Unbelievably there was a fair amount of light pollution. This is a 115.7° angle of view just to get a sense of the size.
Great Rann of Kutch
The Great Rann of Kutch is a salt marsh located in the Thar Desert in the Kutch District of Gujarat, India. It is about 7,505.22 square kilometres (2,897.78 sq mi) in size and is reputed to be one of the largest salt deserts in the world. This area has been inhabited by the Kutchi people.
The name "Rann" comes from the Hindi word ran (रण) meaning "desert". The Hindi word is derived from Sanskrit/Vedic word iriṇa (इरिण) attested in the Rigveda and Mahabharata.
The Great Rann of Kutch, along with the Little Rann of Kutch and the Banni grasslands on its southern edge, is situated in the district of Kutch and comprises some 30,000 square kilometres (10,000 sq mi) between the Gulf of Kutch and the mouth of the Indus River in southern Pakistan. The marsh can be accessed from the village of Kharaghoda in Surendranagar District.
In India's summer monsoon, the flat desert of salty clay and mudflats, which average 15 meters above sea level, fills with standing water. In very wet years, the wetland extends from the Gulf of Kutch on the west through to the Gulf of Cambay on the east.
The area was a vast shallow of the Arabian Sea until continuing geological uplift closed off the connection with the sea, creating a vast lake that was still navigable during the time of Alexander the Great. The Ghaggar River, which presently empties into the desert of northern Rajasthan, formerly emptied into the Rann of Kutch, but the lower reaches of the river dried up as its upstream tributaries were captured by the Indus and Ganges thousands of years ago. Traces of the delta and its distributary channels on the northern boundary of the Rann of Kutch were documented by the Geological Survey of India in 2000.
The Luni River, which originates in Rajasthan, drains into the desert in the northeast corner of the Rann. Other rivers feeding into the marsh include the Rupen from the east and the West Banas River from the northeast.
There are sandy islets of thorny scrub, forming a wildlife sanctuary and a breeding ground for some of the largest flocks of greater and lesser flamingos. Wildlife, including the Indian wild ass, shelter on islands of higher ground, called bets, during the flooding.
This is one of the hottest areas of India – with summer temperatures averaging and peaking at 49.5 °C. Winter temperatures reduce dramatically and can go below 0 °C (32 °F).
Many religions are found here, including Hinduism, Islam, Jainism & Sikhism.
Although most of the marsh is in protected areas, the habitats are vulnerable to cattle grazing, firewood collection and salt extraction operations, all of which may involve transportation that disturbs wildlife. There are several wildlife sanctuaries and protected reserves on the Indian side in the Rann of Kutch region. From the city of Bhuj, various ecologically rich and wildlife conservation areas of the Kutch/Kachchh district can be visited such as Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary, Kutch Desert Wildlife Sanctuary, Narayan Sarovar Sanctuary, Kutch Bustard Sanctuary, Banni Grasslands Reserve and Chari-Dhand Wetland Conservation Reserve.
In India the northern boundary of the Greater Rann of Kutch forms the International Border between India and Pakistan, it is heavily patrolled by India's Border Security Force (BSF) and Indian Army conducts exercises here to acclimatize its troops to this harsh terrain.
This inhospitable salty lowland, rich in natural gas, was one scene of perennial border disputes between India and Pakistan that, in April 1965, contributed to the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. Later the same year, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Harold Wilson persuaded the combatants to end hostilities and establish a tribunal to resolve the dispute. A verdict was reached in 1968 which saw Pakistan getting 10% of its claim of 9,100 square kilometres (3,500 sq mi). 90% was awarded to India, although India claimed 100% of the region. Tensions spurted again in 1999 during the Atlantique incident.
The Indus river had been flowing in to Rann of Kutch area and Rann of Kutch used to be its catchment area forming part of its delta. Indus river branch called Koree river, shifted its course after an earthquake in 1819 isolating Rann of Kutch from its delta. Pakistan has constructed Left Bank Outfall Drain (LBOD) project to bypass the saline and polluted water which is not fit for agriculture use to reach sea via Rann of Kutch area without passing through the Indus delta. The 500 km long LBOD, begins from northern Ghotki district in Sindh province of Pakistan and joins Rann of Kutch in Badin district of Sindh. Rann of Kutch is joint water body of India and Pakistan. Water released by the LBOD is enhancing the flooding in India and contaminating the quality of water bodies which are source of water to salt farms spread over vast area. The LBOD water is planned to join the sea via disputed Sir Creek but LBOD water is entering Indian territory due to many breaches in its left bank caused by floods.
At night, an unexplained strange dancing light phenomena known locally as Chir Batti (ghost lights) occurs in the Rann, the adjoining Banni grasslands, and the seasonal wetlands.
The unique handicrafts of Kutch are world-famous. A lot of women and young girls make their living by selling different types of embroidered cloths. The embroidery is of various styles such as Rabari, Ahir, Sindhi, Banni, Mutwa, Ari and Soof – and some styles include mirror or bead inlay.

that's how i think i look here.
although it wasn't necessarily what i was going for.
those big eyes make me look that way.
but this was inspired by a shot i saw of a child.
that was in this position and rotated.
so maybe that is why i looked like that.
all is good.
having my vernors and vodka.
which can only be had out of a mason jar.
america is playing in the background.
many emotions being felt.
thoughts coursing through my brain.
all pretty nice.
i am always grateful to think and feel so much.
even when things hurt.
everything times 10.
i am rambling.
which works because this is one of my most favorite songs.
