Just one sheet makes a big difference; / One sheet that can make over 2000 cranes. / Each crane a step closer to a better world; / Each piece a step closer to peace. Each square in the grid paper is 5×5mm; and to be exact, there were 2028 full squares in the paper When I was in grade 5 our teacher read “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” to our class. Sadako Sasaki was infected with leukemia. She spent her days folding cranes and making wishes upon them; wishing for her health and for a more peaceful world (the quote above is my writing inspired by the story of the thousand paper cranes). I had difficulty photographing this; and am not fully satisfied with the end result, but I suppose this is the best I can do with my camera (I’m satisfied with the origami though!) I hope everyone likes the idea anyhow. For me it’s always more about the origami than the photography skills.

My origami calendar I folded the mother duck out of trace paper around the time I saw ducklings on the way to work; can read about that here. I can’t remember how big the paper was; I believe 13×13mm. The two little ducklings in the centre were folded from 6×6mm pieces of trace paper while the little one at the back was folded from a 5×5mm piece of trace paper. I know mother duck is just being the 4cm mark, but the duckling at the back is infront of the 1cm mark, hence the duck family is a 3cm spread ^ _ ^ New version added August 21, 2008 / This work has been featured in: / Ebony and Ivory / Numbers One to a Trillion / Waterfowl / Little Things To Make You Smile Works by Category Origami/Ori-plastic / Drawings,Paintings and Graphics / Flowers, Trees and Plants / Water and Waterscapes / Scenery / Light, Shadow, and Reflections / Living Creatures / Human Portrait / Japanfluence / Canada / Still Life More sample origami:

Thank you all for your support of this image. It’s a bit scary to put these things out there, and I really appreciate all the comments it’s gotten. This is truly about me – where I’ve come from as a girl, and what I’ve gone through as a woman. I think it’s an image that many can relate to in some way, and as mentioned in some comments, it hits nerves. Rather than explain the photo, I’ll leave it up to the viewer. I think it may mean something different to each individual that looks at it. I don’t want to take that from you. To me, it has an important message. See what you can get from it, and I hope it will benefit you in some way.

This is my little girl. She was just a few weeks old when this was taken. It was Halloween, and she was dressed as, and slept like an angel. It was the only chance I got to have her still…it was glorious to watch her.
I had no idea how many of these huts there are scattered around the Mornington Peninsula, it seems that they are everywhere! Really been trying to stay away from HDR lately I will put 3 exposures in Photomatix, tone map it, look at it, then scrap it and go back to Lightroom 2…so this is not a HDR image although it does have a little bit of that feel to it. This is the last photo for a while that I can remember being taken without a tripod! Was taken a little later in the morning than my last few uploads to RB. / Settings Canon 40D, 17-85mm IS.

Copyright 2005 Kerry McFarland / I started noticing that when the sun would go down, little flickers would light up everyone’s windows in their house. I’d be out walking (I lived in the desert and it was too hot to do so earlier), with all the beauty outside surrounding me, and silence; Then these houses…flickering. Every night, after 5, I’d see the same thing. I wouldn’t see people sitting outside enjoying the sunset. I wouldn’t see people gathered around a BBQ, I wouldn’t see people out walking with their lovers, enjoying one another. Shades drawn, little flickers. I felt the neglect. So much is going on outside, yet many people spend countless hours watching a little box. What about what’s going on right in their own backyard, their family, their city…their country. The complacency is frightening. That is what this series is about.
This is one of my favorite shots. It was taken of a friend, and was a spare-of-the-minute choice. He had so much emotion in his beautiful face, and I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to capture it.

Gardenia flowers have a beautiful sweet scent. The flowers can be white or yellow and are produced singly or in semi-double and double forms along or at the ends of branches. The perfume from this flower filled the house for almost a week – it was beautiful. This photo is currently featured in the group “Simply White” on RedBubble.
