Explored (237)...April 8, 2009 (cool!)
Need a pick me up? I know I do, sometimes :) This is what's been on my heart this morning.
For when a cup of coffee just isn't enough:
“(1)Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2)through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. (3)Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; (4)perseverance, character; and character, hope. (5)And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” - Romans 5:1-5
This is one of my favorite quotes from the Bible. Every word in it holds a powerful message.
-Justified through Faith (Thank you, God, that I don't have to be "good enough!")
-we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (who doesn't need some peace these days)
-we have gained access by faith into his GRACE (Amazing Grace...)
-we REJOICE in the HOPE of the GLORY of God (I want to sing a song after thinking about this part!)
-we REJOICE in our sufferings (not always my first thought, but check out the second part of this--->), BECAUSE we KNOW that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
-HOPE does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts
AMEN!
I just wanted to share this verse with you today, because I figure we could all use a little encouragement for one reason or another.

Happy because fully vaccinated against COVID-19...
Location: Watergraafsmeer ("Betondorp"), Amsterdam (Oost)
Coordinates: See the link below on Google Maps:
Reason: A home 52-Weeks because of the some disappointing weather during week number 26. Good thing is that I am fully vaccinated (I received my second shot of Pfizer on the first of July). The pandemic Covid-19 started in the beginning of 2020 and is still around and still predominant in the world. The vaccination program started in January 2020 and when taking this self portrait about 16 milion vaccinated have been administered in the Netherlands. The proof is visible through a CoronaCheck application which is valid as a vaccination certificate. It gives access to different places (clubs, festivals and other places where physical distance cannot be guaranteed).
Corona Lamp: The sputnik lamp in my living room is very similar to how the corona virus is often depicted.
Weather: Cloudy, 24° C(maximum of this day)
To Listen ♫: Cloudcage - Waking Up (Youtube)
Self-portrait technics: Camera on a Sirui carbon tripod and placed on a chair with selftimer on 10 seconds.

DON’T BOTHER!
The time has come to start making sense of things, of the world, of each other. We think we’re doing that, but we’re actually doing the opposite. We are complicating…EVERYTHING…to the point of utter madness. Our world has become one ginormous madhouse, ESPECIALLY cyberspace — this alternate world we created within our world that seems to have created a world within itself — yet to be identified, recognized, and named. Making sense of things is not a bad thing. For example, let’s start with one major web enigma: Paul Jaisini and “Gleitzeit” which is this, uh, odd art movement the guy started in the 90s. If you simply google either of those names, I gaurantee you a good WTF moment or two. You’ll not just be scratching your head over this one. You’ll be scratching every part of your body like a delusional nutcase who thinks your skin is literally crawling with countless bugs. IT’S GONNA BUG THE HELL OUT OF YOU, let’s just say…maybe for a day or a week…or maybe, as for some folks, long after you’ve discovered it. You’ll be itching to understand what it’s about even just a little bit. Your mind will try to make sense of Paul Jaisini and/or Gleitzeit, it will want to, but will fail miserably. Frustration and anger will start setting in. I know because that’s how it was for me and every person that tried. The deeper you dig, the more you try to figure it out, the more confused, overwhelmed, baffled, and perplexed you’ll get. I guess for the people that attempt to understand the Paul Jaisini and Gleitzeit thing or debunk it, my advice is: DON’T EVEN TRY. DON’T GO THERE. IT’S NOT FOR YOU. The sleepless nights, the uncertainty, the questions and ideas that start invading your head, the horror of “waking up” from normality and regularity, the trauma of moving from one dimension to another… is not worth it. Well, for me it was worth it, but not for others. They claim it’s crazy and even dangerous for the mind, Paul Jaisini’s Gleitzeit. Well, sure, I mean you gotta break some eggs to make an omelette, dontchya? So, Gleitzeit is the omelette and all parties involved in GIG (Gleitzeit International Group) are the eggs. Makes sense. Speaking of which, “they” don’t want it to make sense, not even close. As a member of the group, I’m breaking protocol BIG TIME by writing this, by encouraging that you go out there, look this stuff up and figure it out, take away its shield of senselessness and defeat it… for the sake of a better world and future for us all. I hope someone out there hears me….one way or another, it had to be said…. Stelly Riesling medium.com/art-submissions/don-t-bother-901454f687cd
I hope everyone is doing well.
It's been great the past few days; I've been able to make some photos without feeling like I'm using up my study time! If I really wanted to, I could spend all my time on photography for a while :D.
I'm considering saving up some money to purchase a Tokina 11-16 f2.8. From what I've read, it's about as good of a super wide angle a person can buy for a DX camera. The lens isn't cheap, but it's sold for less than comparable super wide angle lenses.
Should I save up?
Do you know anything about the lens?
Any recommendations for super wide angle lenses?
About the photo: it's of Erin, my dog.
I'll be posting more soon!

Introduction
"Waking Up"|The Lord Is Knocking on the Door—Come and Meet the Lord
Just Awake and About To Wake are preachers of a Christian sect who both sincerely believe in the Lord, and who eagerly yearn for His return. But they have always felt puzzled and confused about how the Lord will knock at the door upon His return, and what they should do to welcome Him. When a sister knocks on her door many times to preach God's gospel of the last days, Just Awake finally awakens to reality through a period of seeking and investigation. After hearing Just Awake's experience, About To Wake also awakens from her confusion, and she comes to know that the Lord came in secret long ago, that He incarnated to express His words, that He uses His words to knock at the door of man's heart and that, by carefully listening to God's voice, the wise virgins are able to welcome the return of the Lord and follow God's footprints!

One day I woke up to the worst of dreams. I found myself trapped in a dystopian nightmare of Biblical proportions. Wars, famines, and plagues flooded the earth. Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, for you will be plunged into the torrents of chaos and death. The weather changed, and the sun scorched our skin. The waves of the oceans roared violently, and the waters turned to blood. Run for the caves; burning asteroids are falling on us. What an inferno! What pillars of smoke! The sun has turned to red and the moon to darkness. The earth shakes, and the heavens tremble and fall.
I felt like I was living in the Twilight Zone, especially when the transhuman zombie apocalypse began. All pure blooded humans—those who refused the microchip—were declared enemies of the state. Now we are hunted down like dogs. Once captured, we will be executed. We will share the same fate as the Christians; we will face the guillotine. We will lose our heads! The road to the apocalypse has been lined with warning signs, but I would not pay attention. Now I am drowning in my sins, and the flames of hell are at my feet. Lord Jesus, please forgive me!
One of the many shots I grabbed of this Magnolia Tulip Tree in our front yard. Every day there are more and more blooms, so I keep grabbing shots knowing the blooms will not last.
Fair warning, there may be a few more shots coming up.
Best when viewed large.

"When I woke-up this morning I remembered having an intense psychedelic dream,
it was a lucid experience saturated in vivid turquoise colors, everything in the dream seemed real but there was a mystical quality to it too.. it took me awhile to adjust to the real world." ~Tomitheos

Yuba waking up in the morning at Naomi's house. At first he is moving around, rather blurrily, then he looks at Naomi, saying "good morning" and then, "where's my food?"
A little break in the Paris set. I couldn't upload more photos from Paris. I went on a little trip with some friends to Lloret de Mar to celebrate the ending of the exams. We had a nice time.
We had de first flight in the morning to Barcelona Airport, so it resulted in staying one night at schiphol. I took this round 5 o'clock..
I hoped we would arrive at Terminal 1, but we didn't.. It sucked, because I wanted to take some more photo's of the terminal, like I did last year. So this is the only airport photo for this time!
Hope you'll like it. Please feel free to leave a comment!

I slowly opened my eyes. It looked as if it was about mid-day. I looked around me and realized I was in a hospital room. Suddenly, it all came flashing back to me. The zombie, the gun shots, the blackout... Had it all been real. Maybe but whatever had happened, it was over now. I got up with a smile on my face, ready to tell the story to my friends. It was awfully quiet this afternoon. I got out of the room and walked around. There was no one to be seen or even heard. It was kind of creepy but maybe they might all be on holidays. That can’t be right, and what about the patients, are they also on holiday. “Something is not right” I thought to myself.

I know, two in a day, but I just can’t help it. This part is a little bit boring so I am trying to rush through to get to the awesome parts :D
Enjoy,

Jack Murray was a city kid who, very early in life, developed an interest in wildlife. Born in 1889, he grew up in Boston, where he began drawing animals while still in grade school. Murray would later graduate from the renowned Massachusetts School of Art, where he met his wife and fellow artist, Helena Feeny. The couple married in 1921 and, in lieu of a honeymoon, moved to New York that very day.
In New York, Murray found work as a commercial artist, which soon provided the two of them the opportunity to buy a farm outside the city. There, he fixed up a studio where, in his spare time, he pursued his true passion, painting wildlife. Murray’s career reached a turning point when one of the paintings he had made purely for love — a majestic leopard — was bought by “The Saturday Evening Post.”
His discovery by the Post led to assignments for the American Museum of Natural History as well as books and magazines, including “The Country Gentleman” and “Boys' Life.” In 1947, his image of a pair of snow geese mid-flight was selected for the Federal Duck Stamp Program.
All told, Murray would paint twelve covers for the Post. His final one depicting two white wolves closing in on prey appeared on the March 8, 1941, issue — and once again on the January/February 2016 cover.
I have to return to work after having 5 days off, but knowing that freshly ground coffee will be waiting for me at 7 am is giving me hope. Here's to a great day for you, too.

"kaputt but beautiful", my first thought looking yesterday over our broken home and the Sibillini landscape... we make an effort to look forward - turning the earth in the veggie garden, cleaning up around the house, in the studio...
