An ignored information board in the Old Town Square, Prague.
I really like this character – I think she looks cool in red! The message is about consumerism and stuff that we don’t really need, just to make us feel better and maybe ignore what the real problem is. To me it’s kind of an epidemic – especially in my generation.

This shot was taken at the West 4 subway station in New York. So many wonderful photo opportunities waiting underground…yet I am often a bit nervous about shooting …not always sure how my fellow New Yorkers would feel about having a picture taken. For this reason…I have resorted to DA and this fine model – thought she fit nicely in the scene. -
I’m profoundly deaf and people think I’m really ignorning them somtimes! This is the same as the first one, except I’ve made it available in for womens rather than men/unisex.
“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.” And these righteous ones will reply, “Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?” And the King will tell them, “I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these, you were doing it to me!” Matthew 26:35-40 *photo taken in Baja CA, right before we crossed the border back into California after spending the day with the kids at Door of Faith Orphanage in Chula Vista
As the third ‘Auspicious Symbol’ of Buddhism, the WHEEL (sanskrit-chakra) consists of three basic parts: the hub, the rim, and the spokes (8). Its underlying form is that of a circle, which is recognized across all traditions as a shape that is complete and perfect in itself, qualities which inform the teachings of the Buddha too. / Individually, the rim represents the elements of limitation, the hub is the axis of the world, and the eight spokes denote the Eightfold path set down by Buddha, which leads to the cessation of all suffering. / A further esoteric interpretation makes reference to the three trainings which form an integral part of Buddhist meditative practice, associating each of the three parts of the wheel with one such practice. / The symbolism is: / HUB-training in moral discipline. Through this practice the mind is supprted and stabilized. Thus it is the practice of moral discipline that upholds our meditation, just like supporting axis of the world. / SPOKES-stand for the correct application of wisdom, which cuts off ignorance and ends suffering. / RIM- denotes concentration, which holds the entire meditative practice together, just as the wheel of life is held together by its rim. / The wheel evolved as a symbol of the Buddha’s teachings and as an emblem of the Chakravartin or ‘wheel turner’, identifying the wheel as the Dharmachakra or ‘wheel of law’. The Tibetan term for Dharmachakra literally means “the wheel of transformation”. The wheels swift motion serves as an apt metaphor for the rapid spiritual change engendered by the teachings of Buddha. Hence, Buddha’s first discourse at the Deer Park in Sarnath is known as the first turning of the wheel of dharma. Likewise, his subsequent discourses at Rajgir and Shravasti are known as the second and third turnings of the wheel of dharma.

Featured in Playful Photogenic Pets March 21, 2009. Sadie, our Samoyed, dozing comfortably … or … ignoring me??? Maybe a little of both!!! Image taken July 31, ‘08 with the Nikon D40x and the 60mm macro Nikon lens.
what is the point of telling you anything / you never listen to me / you only hear the bad, the worst / but the good news? / you don’t care for them at all why? am i nothing to you / can’t you understand me / can’t you try, at least / do i mean nothing to you? why can’t you feel happy for me? i fought hard on my own / i’m slowly reaching my goals / accomplishing them slowly but why… / why do you feel nothing for me? uploaded this a few days ago actually.. just didn’t have it published till now.. you know.. that feeling.. when you’ve accomplished something, but no one seems to give a damn? it feels like sorta.. like having acid pouring out of my heart instead of blood.. running through my veins, burning me from the inside.. tears.. tears burn my eyes.. so much, it’s as if i’m crying blood.. how can i not turn into a hermit? if i retreat from people.. maybe i won’t need them so much. i won’t care for them. then i won’t feel pain if they never care or love or feel happy for me, hey?

This photograph is of a photo (taken by Gordon King) from the newspaper clipping a friend sent to me of a local female Bald Eagle who was just released from rehabilitation from ingesting the remains of a euthanized horse that someone had not disposed of or buried properly. / On this Friday the 13th, as I am not one who has Paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th), I have seen this Eagle this morning and I’m calling her LUCKY – lucky that someone had the sense to call Wildlife authorities and they determined she was not dead and savable; lucky that a rehabilitator spent over $1000 to a veterinarian to rid her body of the poisons; Lucky to be able to be released back into the wild; and, lucky to be able to fly… / Onward and Upward as yet another irresponsible human has almost taken the life force from another being – I have been a wildlife rehabilitator for over 20 years, and unfortunately most injuries, poisonings and accidents that brought the animals to me, were from humans not thinking CHOICES completely through to the consequences of whom would be affected. Fly like an Eagle
