When you kiss me
I know you miss me
And when you’re with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me
That you adore me
When you kiss me

A fairly abstract depth of field exercise....
This photo's title dates from my 2012 photo-a-day effort, where it was a recurring theme. We had a more impressive trellis back then.
Actually, we've still got that trellis, but it's in pieces and leaning against the garage because a wind storm took it apart some years back. My year-ago excursion through our yard included two pics of that one, by the way, and two of a third that used to support a (failed) rose garden.
What I posted, though, was a view across the street, taken from our yard. It's a decidedly wintery photo (I called it "January") and several of our neighbors' yards are represented. As things turned out, versions of that photo were my "if all else fails" shot last year.
==========
For much of last year, my monthly routine went like this:
* For the first week of the month, I'd set the camera up as fully manual.
* For the second week of the month, I'd set the camera up as Aperture Priority but with manual focus.
* For the third week I'd reverse that--autofocus, but exposure controlled manually.
* For the rest of the month the camera'd be set up with autofocus turned on and (usually) Aperture Priority.
The objective was to force myself to think about these things. I like to think it was a learning experience.
This only worked with the Olympus, by the way. My Nikon 1 doesn't support manual focus in any useful sense, but I've long routinely operated its exposure controls manually.

A fight between a "street trader" and this man (the man covering his face with his hand) in the Qiaodong district
When I was little, a metal shard lodged in my eyeball and nearly lost sight in one eye. It was removed while I was awake. Since then I have a queasy feeling whenever someone talks about eyes. Maybe that it why I enjoy recording images through photography. We take our sight for granted every day. What an intricate and amazing piece of equipment our eyes are. "I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
It's been a full and interesting week of work, today will be the 5th photo-shoot of the week, and each one a very different subject. Back on Tuesday i did a location shoot with the band "When Prophecy Fails"
Had a great time shooting with these guys, if you do facebook, head over to www.facebook.com/WhenProphecyFails?fref=ts and give them a LIKE.
Shot a lot of different styles, not sure yet which one they will choose as the cover for their new EP, you can see all the choices (around 150 shots) in the 'galleries' section of my website.
Might try and set up a little facebook vote for it this evening, if anyone has done something like that before and has any tips?

Built by Shamsu'd-Din Iltutmish himself in 1235, the tomb of Iltutmish lies to the northwest of the Quwwatu'l Islam Mosque of New Delhi. Though, there was a gap of only five years between the constructions of Sultan Ghauri's tomb and this tomb, it is much different and serves as an example of development phase in Indo-Islamic architecture. Unlike his predecessors, Iltutmish abstained from using the material obtained from the demolition of temples. However, the arches and semi-domes of this tomb were built in the indigenous architectural style. The tomb chamber has a red sand stone cenotaph in its centre.
Originally, this cenotaph was covered by a dome, which fell, only to be replaced by Feroze Shah Tughluq. However, even the second dome could not survive long and only its ruins can be seen now. There are three 'mehrabs' in the west that were used for offering prayers. The tomb has plain and stark exteriors, but its interiors are lavishly ornamented with geometrical and arabesque patterns in Saracenic tradition. Along with this, ancient Hindu motifs, such as wheel, bell-and-chain, tassel, lotus and diamond, can also be seen here. It was these carvings that led Fergusson to remark that this tomb is 'one of the richest examples of Hindu art applied to Mohammedan purposes'.

When I was a kid, I used to own a Combattler V DX Chogokin toy. I still remember I deliberately picked Combattler over God Sigma because Combattler is a 5 vehicles combiner. 5 is obviously better than 3, right?
Bandai's SOC line has several Voltes V releases, but I was never interested enough to get one. I was not exactly a fan until I saw GMA's Voltes V Legacy teaser, which is truly impressive and brings back a lot of good memories. I am so looking forward to the actual film release.
After my divorce, I began to build my favorite anime mechs in LEGOs as a mean to balance the stress of single parenting. LEGO IDEAS projects like len_d69's Voltron and anthonyleemwi's God Sigma have been very inspiring. In 2021, I built my own God Sigma, followed by Albegas and Daltanious.

When traveling to the blacksmith, the captain of the black falcon always stop by his old friend's Leon. The two of them were in the same unit of the royal guard, until Leon quit the army, after getting back from a too long mission patroling the western border of the realm, only to find his wife had succumbed to a disease. After some time he decided to reopen the family brewery: the Two Vipers' Brewery.

With CP 286 with CP 7023 leading slow rollin' up to Norma for UP CNAOK to clear the switches with UP 1943 bringing up the rear, it was inevitable the two units would meet somewhere in the Des Plaines area. Right in front of me however, I was not expecting. 286 kept moving through slowly, and when I thought it would block me out totally, CNAOK's rear DPU popped out of the brush.

When we were camping at Dinkey Creek this year we had a campfire visitor one night. This moth was attracted by our lantern and decided to rest on my son. It was such a nice looking moth and ran and grabbed my camera hoping it wouldn't fly away. It didn't and I took a few pictures with the flash. It flew off and landed in a near by tree after a few minutes of posing. When we woke up the next day it was still on the tree. It was kind of a cool experience.
When 1957 the vulcano Capelinhos erupted, a thick layer of ashes coverd the western part of Faial. Even 60 yaers later, thus charakterizes the landscape. The old lighthouse became a ruin.
There is something about chasing light (and always chasing light). The scramble to find the right spot to be because you somehow feel you are not already there. And then in ways that cannot fully be described, there you are, at the edge of a field where you pulled over after leaving the last spot you were in (which you thought was THE spot, and it was in its own way but you didn't realize you would soon find this spot as well). There is a sense of passing in such moments, that short window of time and light, knowing that where and when you are standing is measured in seconds, maybe minutes. It is beautiful, even more so than the sunset-drenched clouds overhead and the quiet fields in front where the frogs and crickets are just beginning to wake up. It is a sentiment expressed in the quiet rustle of the evening breeze. Those are easy moments to photograph in and they are hard moments to photograph in. It is difficult to not just remain perfectly still and silent and try to breathe as deeply as you can, soaking as much of that rare moment in to take with you when the time inevitably arrives and the light slips away. And you quietly set the camera away and climb back in your car and move on, in part because you have to and in part because there is other light to chase and other right spots to arrive at and be in.

Their dolls are Polly Pocket mix & match (Pop & Swap) dolls, and two are hybrids using Petal Pixie (Mattel Fairytopia) heads.
