Beautiful photo very bright, very blue with an interesting pattern throughout it thanks to a sort of fishing wire hung from the sign pictured / One of my favourites / Taken on the foreshore in Fremantle, Perth, Western Australia

About pain, time and effort, sometimes no matter how much you have given it will never be returned as love. Give without regret, love given with a full and generous heart is never a waste, it may never be recognized or appreciated. The fact that you are capable of such love is more important than anothers inability to accept or appreciate it. There is no shame or remorse in having ‘spent’ love, love is there to spend and to give… x
A dragonfly in clear focus in the foreground and another indistinct one in the background triggered this saying which I thought might make a nice greeting card about following a dream even if it seems elusive or unreal. I took this photo at Lake Martin in St. Martin Parish in southern Louisiana.
Our memories may become fainter and more distant with time but still they remain beating their wings to the immortal drum of eternity. This photograph is as taken with the exception of the auto contrast button in photoshop. The moth really was there on the picture frame and translucence of the moths wings are due i think in part to the flash i used to freeze the action. I’m not quite sure how i managed to do this image but i like the overall effect.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose imagination is stayed on Thee.” Isaiah 26:3 Our world is full of suffering and fear. Staying focused on all of the uncertainty in my life often brings me down. Some people say that this “depression” is hereditary or suggest a prescription to make things better. Fortunately I’ve found that nothing calms me more than choosing to trust God for perfect peace and a resolution that will come in His way and in His time. This painting was inspired by the moving devotions penned and published by Oswald Chambers in the early 1900’s. His powerful book, My Utmost for His Highest, continues to touch my life and draw me closer to Jesus. I hope that this art and verse do the same for you!

Taken on Capo Testa, Northern Sardinia. / The mountains are Corsica, only about 7 miles away across the Strait of Bonifacio. Taken just as the light was disappearing completely – last shot of the evening possibly. Increased the contrast a bit as it was a little washed out and vague before.
The subdued light is a beacon for humanity lost in a world wide orgy of unadulterated madness. / / They met each other and their fate in muddy trenches, spiritually degraded and morally confused. Senseless murder did not discriminate, it made them all victims of a crime whose magnitude numbs your logic, turns your love into a still nature of sort. Just a thought of a civilization buried below my feet fills my head with panic. The souls who live in other people’s hearts live forever. They are still around, one more reason to remember to care. This candle is for them, and only for them. The ones who raped their ideals have found their own fires already.
if you love a girl, let her know part of the forgotten fairy tale series.

/ The Gardener LXXXI: Why Do You Whisper So Faintly by Rabindranath Tagore / Why do you whisper so faintly in / my ears, O Death, my Death? / When the flowers droop in the / evening and cattle come back to their / stalls, you stealthily come to my side / and speak words that I do not / understand. / Is this how you must woo and win / me with the opiate of drowsy murmur / and cold kisses, O Death, my Death? / Will there be no proud ceremony / for our wedding? / Will you not tie up with a wreath / your tawny coiled locks? / Is there none to carry your banner / before you, and will not the night be / on fire with your red torch-lights, / O Death, my Death? / Come with your conch-shells sound- / ing, come in the sleepless night. / Dress me with a crimson mantle, / grasp my hand and take me. / Let your chariot be ready at my / door with your horses neighing impatiently. / Raise my veil and look at my face / proudly, O Death, my Death!
Well, I have to own up – he’s not REALLY dead… / This is just what happens to an 8 year old boy when he walks in to his house after school and finds 90% of the furniture and everything else gone 2 days before the renovations are supposed to begin. And – it’s not as if he didn’t know everything would be gone – of course he knew. It was just much too good an opportunity to ‘play up’ to be missed. In fact, it was SUCH a GOOD OPPORTUNITY, he ‘stayed dead’ on the floor long enough for me to go and get my camera and take a whole series of shots from all kinds of angles, and he didn’t move at all until I tickled him….. Concept – Finn / Staging – Finn / Costume and Hair – Finn / Photo – Me / Edit – Me Sony Alpha 350, Tokina 19-35mm Lens, f4.5 @ 1/8 Sec Exp, ISO 400. FEATURED IN ‘CORE’!
Another angle and a very different edit of the ‘incident’ that gave rise to the image ‘Drop…?’ To recap a bit on the ‘story’ behind this image… Finn (8 years old) spontaneously decided that to ‘drop dead’ at the apparent shock of coming in from school and seeing his house suddenly with about 90% less stuff in it than usual – in readiness for renovations to begin in 2 days time – was far too good an opportunity to miss… The ‘collapse’ was REALLY well done – VERY realistic – and he actually stayed like this – totally unmoving – long enough for me to go get my camera, take a whole series of shots from lots of different angles… and then still didn’t move at all until finally I started tickling him… He likes this image too – and rekons this is ‘scarier’ than the first one I posted last night (which is apparently ‘good’). So – / Concept – Finn / Staging – Finn / Costume and Hair – Finn / Photo – Me / Edit – Me As before, Sony Alpha 350, Tokina 19-35mm Lens, f4.0 @ 1/8 Sec Exp, ISO 400. This image looks really cool LARGE :))) FEATURED IN ‘DARK FUTURE’!
I made this with Apophysis 3DHack, and the Lazy Susan Script. Globe FX added post-processing.
