THE FURIES (greek mythology) But not the less did the Furies cry out against him that he was accursed and given over to them as a prey; for that they were appointed of the Gods to execute vengeance upon evil-doers, of whom he was the chief, seeing that he had slain the mother that bare him. But while they thus cried out against him, there appeared the Goddess Athené, very fair to see, with the spear of gold in her hand; and she spake, saying, “From the banks of Scamander am I come, for I heard the cry of one that called upon my name. And now I would fain know what meaneth all this that I see. Who art thou, stranger, that sittest clasping this image? And who are ye that are so strange of aspect, being like neither to the Gods nor to the daughters of men?” Then the Furies made answer, “We will tell thee the matter shortly, daughter of Zeus. We are the children of Night, and we are called the Curses, and our office is to drive the murderer from his home.” Then said the goddess, “And whither do ye drive him?” “We drive him to the land where no joy abideth.” “And why do ye pursue this man?” “Because he dared to slay his mother.” / I have done alot of Photoshop work in the past year.

Photography done by ME!! A DRYADS POEM......... When meadows are grey with the morn / In the dusk of the woods it is night: / The oak and the birch and the pine / War with the glimmer of light. Dryads brown as the leaf / Move in the gloom of the glade; / When meadows are grey with the morn / Dim night in the wood has delayed. The cocks that crow to the land / Are faint and hollow and shrill: / Dryads brown as the leaf / Whisper, and hide, and are still. Siegfried Loraine Sassoon (1886 – 1967) * / *Dryads and Hamadryads in Greek Mythology / Dryads and hamadryads are two types of wood nymphs in Greek mythology. These female nature spirits were thought to inhabit trees and forests, and they were especially fond of oak trees. Dryads were often depicted in myth and art accompanied – or being pursued by – their male counterparts, the satyrs. Dryads, like all nymphs, were supernaturally long-lived and tied to their homes, but some were a step beyond most nymphs. These were the hamadryads who were an integral part of their trees, such that if the tree died, the hamadryad associated with it died as well. For these reasons, dryads and the Greek gods punished any mortals who harmed trees without first propitiating the tree-nymphs.[
I was out and about today on the Red Bubble Prowl…and came across Mel Brackstones Portfolio . Thru some conversation with her and some suggestions…I redid one of my pics RAW The suggestion was to make it more abstract and to bring out some more detail in the eye. I love the results, and thank-you so much Mel for the conversation!!
This was a shot of the Groom and his men at a wedding I did. I set up the shot having brought my own hat(see clockwork orange) and asked the guys to bring their sunglasses. Then the heavens opened and with the angels singing (Or so it seemed in my head anyways…wink)a beam of light shot thru the window and landed right on the groom. This was the end result. Also see the Godfather Returns for a compilation between Charles Winslow and myself

A girlfreind and her first baby bump…these are her baby gift from me…. / Shot them tonight. WIll be uploading a few for her family to purchase…... The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. / ~Rajneesh
A freind of mine. / She graciously allowed me to use her body for my first nude photo shoot. / I was unware of the hearts coming off when I shot this…too focused on the lines of her body and DOF to notice the hearts came unstuck. I loved this shot and the golden light anyways. I did personally stick EVERY one of those hearts individually to her body with two sided tape…lol. / Quite a process
My Daughter? / Slower than molasses, nothing fizzes on her, whole lotta “whatever” attitude!! My Son? / Never stops moving, the thought of sleeping offends his sensibilities. A maniac in a three year old body!! ADD SUNSET AND WHAT DO YOU GET??? / Blessed silence....for about a minute…SIGH. / LOL

A girlfreind and her first baby bump…these are her baby gift from me…. / Shot them tonight. WIll be uploading a few for her family to purchase…... / She was nervous about this one…being her first nude type shot ever…I assured her it was going to only show curves and lines…think I managed that for her… When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. / ~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty
The world’s oldest living polar bear has died. Debby the polar bear was euthanized Monday after spending her final moments surrounded by zookeepers and veterinarians, the Assiniboine Park zoo announced. The polar bear’s health had been declining for several months but zoo officials said she remained active and alert until Monday, when a clinical exam indicated multiple organ failure. Born in Russia in 1966, Debby arrived at Winnipeg’s zoo as an orphaned cub the following year. She spent most of her life with her mate Skipper, and together they produced six surviving offspring. When Debby was 41 years old, she earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s oldest living polar bear. At 42, she was among the top three oldest bears ever recorded among all eight species of bears. “Debby was without a doubt the most famous animal in the Assiniboine Park Zoo’s 104-year history,” said zoo co-ordinator Dr. Gordon Glover. QUOTED FROM THE WINNIPEG SUN Where to get I heart Debby T-shirts You have to watch the video to get the info, at the end is the address, and all proceeds go to our Zoological society to raise money for a new Polar Bear Enclosure…...it’s promised to be the most environmentally bear friendly enclosure in Canada!!!!

Getting a picture of this little girl was like trying to catch the wind. I must have taken 50 + pics of her and she was never looking at the camera. She made me work HARD for this pic, my fascination with eyes is once again showing, all I kept saying was…”I need her eyes, I NEED a pic of her eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Well here it is, and at her Momma’s request I am adding this to my portfolio here so she can share it with family and freinds!!!! Meet SYDNEY, a little piece of the wind.
