when Night comes, it bellows. sweeping tree lines and waking the dead, Night lingers in the bark crevices, beneath rotting leaves, and in the folds of her blood dress. when He comes, she stands, alert, her blood thumping against the veins like a snake writhing as afarmer quickly chops the head off. Night is ideal for searching. three years have trudged on, but mother has not been found.
fear follows her, it lifts her up into the copper shadows, but it never waits or lingers. as quick as it is there, it is gone. she is left with only a brazen lantern, a candle's flame blinking in the wind, and a red dress that is just a reminder of a mother she never knew.
Lightbox this. It makes it larger and looks better
I'm really, really happy with this. I bought this dress for 5 bucks at a thrift store. It's hideous, but it has so much personality and so many stories behind it. Kudos to my friend Adam for the location and hair styling and to Sarah for being still since I shot with a longish exposure. I wanted this to look like a painting, and it does. It's always exciting when a photo looks exactly like it does in your mind. :)
Also, my junior year of college has began and I am swamped with homework, work, workstudy, my presidency of our Gay-Straight Alliance, and my 365. I'm going to keep photographing though!
P.S. That is Sarah Ann Loreth's lantern. :)
Remember back when we could all gather as a group?
Remember back when when we could go to a baseball game?
Remember back when we could shake hands with a new acquaintance?
Remember back when we could go shopping anywhere and have lunch or dinner at a restaurant?
Remember back when we were not afraid to leave our house?

When you have no foreground subject ... make your own. I know it's silly, but Katie's mom and I rummaged thru Katie's toys and this is what I came up with. Katie lives with Max and Buster, the dachshunds. (Client's toys ;))
When I was a small boy " ; ) " and the internet was young, so young in fact that they didn't call it "The internet" not even the WWW it was called the World Wide Web, the marketing campaign for this phenomenon was "No borders and No rules“
The governments of this world was chocked!
No rules?! They cried.
No borders?! They wept.
Ever since that day a long time ago the different governments of this world have searched for a way of controlling the internet.
Up until now they had fought in wain, for the internet was run by corporations and universities.
Information wants to be free, you can't control the freedom of creativity. The universities said.
Impose restrictions? Then no one will pay for using it. The companies said.
Then something happened, 9/11and flukeish enough 911 days later the attack on Barcelona, and yes I know that the number of the American distress call is 911.
The world was in shock.
Do something, stop this! People screamed.
And the governments did, they invented the Patriot act.
( www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/hr3162.html )
"This stupid law is even in some use here in Sweden.
Sweden?! The one country in the world where all is welcome and the value of human life is greater than anything in the world"
And the people accepted this, if the people had not, then the internet would still be free. Now they have the power to control, the power to impose.
If you don't follow our rules, then to hell with you. The governments say.
I don't think it’s fair to blame the flickr team, yes they should have consulted us the paying users before they did this, but I think their only option was do this or shut down the German, Malaysian, Singaporean, Korean and Hong Kong servers. Blocking users of named countries from even watching flowers and landscapes.
We can fight as much as we want, we can scream as much as we want, it will be of no use.
But this is no reason to stop.
We will scream! We will fight!
But remember that a protest is a protest until someone throws a Molotov, then it's a riot.
As long as we are protesting within the boundaries the law, we will be able to keep this going, and maybe win this.
But as soon as someone throws that first Molotov we will shift the power over to them, and they will start to ban users and maybe even shut down the servers in the affected countries.
So instead of blaming the flickr crew you should help them, there are a lot of us flickr users out there and I’ll bet some of you living in Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea and Hong Kong and use flickr have a better knowledge of the laws in your countries than they have on flickr headquarters, mail them and give them some advice and show them the loopholes.
And please stop this crying of Nazis, Germany is one of the countries affected and our German friends have suffered enough of the war, there are not many left in Germany who actually participated in that horrid event so lay of the Nazi bit ok. Forgive but don't forget.

Play this straight and maybe we will win this.
English:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.
In other words that means, that german users can not access photos on flickr that are not flaged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the germans ...
We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!
Francais:
Si votre compte Yahoo! est basé à Singapour, à Hong Kong, en Corée ou en Allemagne, vous ne pourrez voir que les photos qui n'ont pas été marquées comme ayant un contenu qui peut choquer. Toutes les autres ne vous seront pas accessibles. Vous serez donc condamnés à ne voir que des paysages et des fleurs. Il ne faut pas laisser faire ça. Envoyez cette photo sur votre compte pour montrer à Flickr que nous savons nous mobiliser contre la censure !
Español:
Si tu Yahoo! ID está basada en Singapor, Alemania, Hong Kong o Corea sólamente verás contenido llamado seguro basándose en nuestros términos de servicio locales y no podrás deshabilitar el modo de búsqueda segura..
En otras palabras esto significa, que usuarios alemanes p.ej. ya no podrán acceder a fotos en flickr que hayan sido "flagged", es decir marcadas como no seguras y para todo público... solamente flores y paisajes para los alemanes ...
No permitiremos que ésto suceda! Copia y carga esta foto a tu cuenta de yahoo por favor para mostrar a flickr quienes somos!
Português:
Se você tem uma Yahoo! ID de Cingapura, Alemanha, Hong Kong ou Coréia você apenas será capaz de ver fotos classificadas como seguras e segundo seu termo de serviços não poderá desligar esta função.
Em outras palavras: alemães, coreanos, cingapurenses e os habitantes de Hong Kong não podem visualizar fotos no flickr que estejam classificadas como restritas ou moderadas.... apenas flores e paisagens para eles.
Nós não vamos deixar isto acontecer! Copie e faça upload desta foto - mostre ao flickr quem somos!
When the Dimensions pack was revealed, I was left unsatisfied by the official version of the Portal 2 turret. Looking around the web, I couldn't really find a minifigure scale version that I liked either.
My goal was to hopefully make the definitive minifigure scale version that didn't require the usage of minifigure hands to construct the legs. I hope you guys like it!
For those going to BrickCon this year, I have several to give away, so come find me!
When I was originally filtering through my photos from today I overlooked this one. But once going back, I imagined this in black and white and noticed the extremely strong contrasts. Anyone that knows me KNOWS that I strive to get that in a photo when possible.

Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Rappelle toi quand tu étais jeune,
Tu brillais comme le soleil.
Continue de briller toi le diamand fou.
A present il y a un regard dans tes yeux,
Comme des trous noirs dans le ciel.
Continue de briller toi le diamant fou.

A extremely rare trip to London, to see a friend before she heads home to her native Germany... Couldn't resist the opportunity to snap the Eye for the first time. Although I've been on it and seen it a number of times, this is the only photo I've ever taken of it.
A great memory of the night.
"When the wind pipes loud and free, and the sea leaps and whirls and swings and cries aloud with wintry merriment, the sea fairies dance with the dancing waves, tossing white petals of foam over their heads and twining pearls of spray about their necks."

When most of us think of Valentine’s Day, we think of declaring love for someone with a special card, that is usually fancy, beautiful, and adorned with hearts and flowers. However, it was not always like this!
The Victorians had a custom of sending ‘Vinegar Valentines’ to people they did not much care for. These cards were sold in the United States and Britain, from the middle 19th century to the early 20th century. Also called comic valentines, these cards were decorated with garish caricatures and featured a short line or poem that, rather than offer a message of love and affection, it criticized, rejected, and/or insulted the recipient. They were often sent without a signature, enabling the sender to speak without fear. Oh, and for added spice, the recipient of these insults paid the postage on delivery :-).
“When I See I See An Alfa Romeo Pass By, I Lift My Hat.” – Henry Ford
That quote summarizes the impact and the profound work that this Italian automaker has given to the world. Creating history for over 100 years, Alfa Romeo started their humble beginnings as a French company in Italy (that’s a weird combination), and worked on cementing their legacy by building a storied racing heritage, supporting it with countless wins, discovering a young racer named Enzo Ferrari, and being known as a ‘petrolhead’ marque.
Alfa Romeo has accomplished many wins such as “The World’s Best Motor Race”, the Mille Miglia in 1928, Le Mans, various Grand Prix, World Sportscar Championship, German Touring Car Championship, just to name a few.
That quote also exemplifies the craftsmanship that went to every single Alfa Romeo, painstakingly creating works of art like the P2 in 1924, the original Giulia in 1962, or the GTA in 1965.
Being flamboyant as any Italian can be, the company poured their heart and soul in every creation, focusing on aesthetics and making sure that their everyday, practical models (the 155, 156, the Bretta) were jaw-dropping to make their ancestors proud.
Alfa Romeos are known for their quirks and questionable reliability, but we don’t care. They’re graceful, elegant, and oh so undeniably pretty. Alongside their beauty, we embrace these cars because it’s the closest car that gives us an almost-human connection.
Everyone has their faults, but we’ll make it work.
Founded in 1910, Ugo Stella bought a floundering French car factory in 1909 and rebranded as “Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili” or A.L.F.A. Translated in Italian as “Lombard Automobile Factory Company”, it started a new beginning for this Italian automaker situated in Milan, which is in Northern Lombardy region of Italy.
From there, the company immediately built vehicles with the intent to conquer speed. More powerful engines were introduced in the early 1900’s, producing 40 – 60 hp and A.L.F.A. ventured naturally into motor racing. That venture went to a halt thanks to World War I, which caused the company to focus on manufacturing different products and planting the seeds of the other half of the brand that we all know today.
This takeover also gave birth to one of the most bizarre logos in the automotive world. Created in 1910, after the official rebranding of the company, the A.L.F.A crest debuts and everyone remembers the right-half of the crest, where a snake is eating a man. The meaning is actually quite interesting as given by Automobilismo Storico Alfa Romeo.
Alfa Romeo logo :
(left side): the red cross on white field is the symbol of Milan, the hometown of Alfa Romeo.
(right side): the symbol of one of the most important families in the history of Milan (and Italy), the Visconti family – the family that ruled Milan.
There are a lot of legends about the origins of this heraldic symbol, representing a mythological animal with a human in his mouth (some believe it to be a dragon, but most likely a snake). During the time of the crusades, Otone Visconti, the founder of Visconti Family and a knight, fought against a noble Saracen knight (nomad from the Syrian Desert that bordered the Roman Empire). Otone beat the Saracen knight and, following the tradition, took the symbols the Saracen carried on his shield: a snake with a human in his mouth. At first glance, it looks like the snake is eating the human. Instead, the human is coming out of the snake a “new man,” purified and renewed.
The meaning: The snake is a circular animal (a snake can assume a circular position) and is an animal of the changing – able to change his skin regularly and totally renew or rebirth himself. The meaning is definitely describing Alfa Romeo to a tee.
When we think that we have privacy in our own backyard, we discover an interloper, Rufus, our resident Rufous Hummingbird. He is always keeping an eye on our every movement.
I think a lot of us know from when we are youngsters that something is not quite right, for some it's the desire to dress in their sister's clothes but for me it was a feeling that even though I didn't have a sister there was one somewhere in my mind. Also I was inclined to dream and sometimes when I felt a bit low I could turn it around and suddenly feeling a warming glow almost levitating as my feet left the ground pulling back the tears knowing all of this holding me back was because unlike everyone around me I was and I know it sounds silly 'special'. Had I known I was possibly of transgender it might have made me feel a lot more comfortable and certain about myself growing up and I'm sure it was the cause. As it was I didn't really know what I wanted and all I seemed to think about was perfect girl's nipples and boobs and my big escape in life going out seeing buses. As well as that nothing ever seemed to work out for me especially my relationships so even though I always got by I was a bit of a square peg in a round hole. Of course until I became Jojo and was able to look back in hindsight I was hardly even aware of my sad past of missed opportunities. So it's hardly surprising then that once it happened and I became Jojo all that frustration and anxiety should disappear and I opened up and started to live and enjoy life a lot more. Some might not understand and disagree with what I've done to myself seeing it as perhaps being morally weak and even and I hate the use of this word 'inappropriate' but I know it wasn't wrong as like my bikinis I'm sorted.

Sorry to anyone who favorited this earlier, I had to re-upload because there was a massive mistake I hadn't noticed before!!
This was inspired by Rosie Hardy, particularly her work on Maroon 5's album cover for Hands All Over!! I'm happy with how it turned out for my first attempt!
Happy Valentine's Day (to all those of you who actually celebrate it!! :P) I got roped into working :(
Listened to "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears the ENTIRE time I was shooting & editing this one!
When Hyperion Industries released their X1-A25 "Wasp", it quickly became the standard for fighter craft. Two modified artillery cannons were bolted onto a novel platform that enabled a three-person crew to make devastating attacks against other fightercraft and even, in one instance, a T-59 destroyer. It remains a potent weapon to this day.

One day when I was getting some new shoes, I saw that special sign posted on a building with no windows. I went inside and found out it was a job as a janitor at an “advertisement agency”
I shook hands with the man at the front desk.
“Hi. I’m here to apply for a job.”
“Ok. I just need you to fill out this application and I’ll show you your room.” He smiled and showed his two lonely teeth. I nodded but didn’t understand why he said that he’d show me my room. What room? I quickly filled out the application, handed it to him and together we walked up the old stairs that were covered in formica. He led me into a room that was completely white with a trundle bed and a dresser that didn’t even open because, he said, it was used as a movie prop long ago.
“Here is where you will be staying. Make yourself at home and I’ll see you in the morning at 7.” And there was that smile again.
“So I’m supposed to live here?” I asked.
“Yes. Didn’t you read the information on the application? One of the perks of this job is that you get free housing. And you don’t need to commute because you work in the same building where you live” To be honest I just skimmed over it to avoid the awkwardness of him waiting and eating his liverwurst and sauerkraut sandwich. Between swallows he said “the job is yours if you want it”. I nodded, he left and shut the door behind him leaving a trail of sauerkraut on the floor behind him. There were bottles of old orange containers with pills in them and a few syringes with bent needles. I made a few trips back home to get my stuff in garbage bags and on the last one, I left a note for my mom that I was moving out and we might not see each other for awhile.
