This is my tribute to Muntazer al-Zaidi. The legendary journalist who threw his shoe at George W Bush during his farewell visit to Iraq. Clearly it is based on Banksy’s “Flower Chucker” stencil which is based on a photo from the 1968 riots in Paris. I’ve tried to keep it faithful to both Banksy and Muntazer by illustrating his head as close as possible to the original press conference image, in the style of “Flower Thrower”. I also illustrated the shoe to fit his hand just nicely and added a bit of definition to the fingers. Love to know what you think. Good riddance George Dubbaya. Muntazer al-Zaid may be the thrower, but you certainly are the tosser. / / / / / / /
I took this on the way home after a Christmas Concert by the Big Rock Singers and just had to share it right away. We have had a dump of six to eight inches of heavy wet snow lasting all day, causing me to shovel several driveways several times today. However, the absolute beauty of freshly fallen snow mixed with blue Christmas lights makes up for any of the day’s toils. Hope you like it.

This hanging tapestry was located in the Holiday Inn on King Street in Toronto, Ontario and was visually stunning.
This was taken at Sheep River Falls, Alberta when several kayakers came through. Some portaged around the falls. A couple of them made the jump.

Un día descubrí que tu alma lloraba / tu alma se desprendía, / y lavabas con llanto, tus heridas Crus, decías con lamento… / me arrepiento, me arrepiento, / y abortaste tu lamento. Yo, el poeta artista, / quise darle color a tu llanto, Y sin pensarlo dos veces te dije, / tú no eres, tú no eres, fue la otra; la de la obscura pesadilla, / aquella que una vez, guio tu vida. Tú eres otra, tú eres otra, / créemelo querida amiga, / en tu alma no hay maldad, / tu fecundas sol de día, Y si alguna vez, a tu alma vuelve el llanto, / yo, que te quiero tanto, / te diré dulce amiga, soy testigo de tu luz, mira mi alma, / …me la has parido de vida.

Caught this storm on the horizon on the way home tonight, just East of Okotoks, Alberta. It is reminiscent of some captures I have seen of hurricanes…. Hope none of our neighbors suffered any damage.
Another of my Kananaskis (foothills of the Rockies) shots. It was one of those days where every shot was gold-plated. / Minor exposure adjustment only.
Now this IS my desktop photo and is one of my favorites, obviously. / I just wish I had taken this at a higher resolution. / The Kananaskis is the foothills area of the Rockies southwest of Calgary Alberta. There is a wonderful road from Longview to Canmore which has some of the most spectacular and available scenery for shutterbugs. A sunny day is just a recipe for a wonderful day of photography.

Featured Entertainment Digital Art 07 September 2007 ~ “When I am Gone Away ~ Sri Chinmoy wrote this song for his students in 1976, and asked that it be sung only upon his entry into Mahasamadhi and departure from this earth. “During the memorial service for Sri Chinmoy yesterday, the song was sung by a choir of Sri Chinmoy’s students in a way that brought heaven down to earth. When I am gone away Remember me, O children sweet, / No, not because I failed, / No, not because I cried, / No, not because I tried, / No, not because I saw my Lord in you, / No, not because I served my Lord in you, / No, not because I fulfilled my Lord in you, / No, not because I was your Pilot true, / No, not because I was your Infinite blue, / Oh, but because my life was all gratitude, / Gratitude, / gratitude / To you, / to you, / my sweet children, / to you.” Sri Chinmoy died 11 October 2007
