GTFO JUST TRYING TO BE NAKED IN THE WOODS CAN'T I GET SOME PRIVACY GEEZ.
So glad these thorny asshole bushes finally came in handy.
A group of us non-lafg2013ers decided to embark on a giant collaboration; the first concept we’re attempting is our greatest fear.
At first I wanted to do something light-hearted about my fear of flies or injections or corn (it’s like a million little rotted teeth on a stick…) but I realized that’s part of my actual big huge mega-fear, vulnerability. Not the physical kind--I don’t doubt my ability or willingness to kick some ass in a pinch--but the emotional sort. And don't get me wrong, strong emotional defenses like humor are important, but I think mine are a little much. Long story shortish I was bullied a cray ton in middle school until I just kind of made a little suit of feels armor for myself and I’ve never really figured out how to strip it in the presence of most people. I swear I go through the same argument with the little voice in my head every single time I interact with anyone; if I let my guard down the other person is free to judge and reject the secret parts of myself that make me a unique human in the clusterfuck of all the other billions.
But then I’m all ‘why do I feel so compelled to let others define my worth’ and then I’m all ’social acceptance is pretty important to the survival of things with brains bro’ but then I’m all ‘I mean that’s a good excuse but literally millions of other people have learned to get past that, what makes me special’ and then I wallow, typically. I mean, basically it’s fear of pain which is practically etched into our skulls from birth, so I know I'm not alone in this, but at the same time just aghajakfgl.
And I know I could have it so much worse. I could be afraid of starvation or disease or my own parents. But in the relative scope of my general insignificance my fear of emotional vulnerability is the thing that keeps me up at night so. Welcome to the most personal photo I’ve ever done, y’all.
And you know. The most publicly naked one.
*******If anyone else out there shares my fear there’s an awesome TED talk on the subject by Brené Brown. Even if you don't, just watch it. It's even funny so none of you have an excuse.
Here's to a more fearless 2013 for everybody :)

Southern Africa
The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), also known as the African savanna elephant, is the largest living terrestrial animal with bulls reaching a shoulder height of up to 4 m (13 ft). Both sexes have tusks, which erupt when they are 1–3 years old and grow throughout life.
It is distributed across 37 African countries and inhabits forests, grasslands and woodlands, wetlands and agricultural land. It is a social mammal, traveling in herds composed of cows and their offspring. Adult bulls usually live alone or in small bachelor groups. It is a herbivore, feeding on grasses, creepers, herbs, leaves and bark.
Since 2004, it has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It is threatened foremost by habitat destruction, and in parts of its range also by poaching for meat and ivory.
They can weigh 7 t (7.7 short tons). The heaviest male on record weighed 10.4 t (11.5 short tons) and was shot in 1974 in Angola. Females are much smaller at about 2.2–2.6 m (7.2–8.5 ft) tall at the shoulder and up to 4 t (4.4 short tons) in weight. Elephants attain their maximum stature when they complete the fusion of long-bone epiphyses, occurring in males around the age of 40 and females around the age of 25.

It's an interesting fact that, when born, baby zebras' legs are 95% the length of their mothers. This is for camouflage - so that they blend in with the rest of the herd, making them less vulnerable to predators. They are on their feet within minutes of birth - born to run.

He made it on his own through a deadly desert. He crossed the ocean on a small boat that was hardly seaworthy. I think of my own childhood...

A recently fledged Blackbird Chick - wondering who I am. Snapped with my mobile phone.
The Blackbird - Turdus merula, is one of the most prolific of uk birds as it has adapted to live happily in woodland and house gardens. The female is the sole nest builder which takes about 11-14 days to make and will incubate the eggs but the cock bird will help feed his offspring. The pair will produce 2-3 broods a year and the youngsters fledge after 13-14 days. The song of the blackbird is delightful and will sing for hours.

Month 5/12
So me and my friend Alex started our own little project together. Every month, we're going to pick a concept. Every month, we are going to use up a roll (or two) of film on that concept. This month was vulnerability.
Replaced (again) because you like this one more.

Southern Pantanal, Brazil
There are many wildlife highlights to enjoy in the Neotropics, but having the opportunity to see different species of colourful parrots and macaws in their natural habitat has to be pretty high on anybody’s list. And, if you’re lucky enough to be visiting the Southern Pantanal, then you have a very good chance of seeing the largest of them all, the unforgettable blue Hyacinth Macaw. This magnificent ‘endangered’ macaw is only found in three areas of South America; small populations in the Cerrado of interior Brazil and the eastern Amazon Basin, but with the majority in the Brazilian Pantanal and adjacent eastern Bolivia and northeastern Paraguay ..... to continue reading please see the associated gallery on my website.

A pair of caspian terns doing their courtship ritual by the looks of it. These birds are native to New Zealand but are nationally vulnerable.
A landscape shot of the Mara? Look closely. There is something sitting in the big wild olive tree. Our guides routinely found these treasures from much further away than this picture was shot. We owe them so much for making this such an amazing adventure.
A very young, about 8 week old Otter cub having its first trip down to the beach away from the sanctity of its holt - the mother would have hidden them in this rocky cave on the shore line for safety although there are no known predators on the Islands.
One of the most beautiful things in Iceland for me personally: Glaciers. The immense size and shapes... Just love it and photographing it is very satisfying with all the shapes and colors. Unfortunately these giants are melting fast. So powerfull and immense, yet so vulnerable

The South African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus), also known as the Namibian cheetah, is the most numerous and the dominate cheetah subspecies native to Southern Africa. Since 1986, it has been classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN. The South African cheetah live mainly in the lowland areas and deserts of the Kalahari, the savannahs of Okavango Delta and the grasslands of the Transvaal region in South Africa. In Namibia, cheetahs are mostly found in farmlands. -Wikipedia
