This child watched through a broken window as we worked inside. It’s times like this when the natural, uncontrived symbolism of circumstance just presents itself to you and all you have to do is click. There was not pretence, no staging, no crap. Just reality. It still engages me now. Look at his eyes. What is he thinking? He’s aching. He is full on aching. How can I help them more, how can I help them more, how can I help them more… Please give if you can or pass it on to someone else. That’s giving too. All proceeds to charity. NOW AVAILABLE AS A CHRISTMAS CARD! /

VIEW LARGE PLEASE:=D What happens when we take risks? / The kind that spill out of our past / To hunt you down like a weirwolf in London / Or a Vampire in June? What happens when we threaten our smile / With the Fore-thought of Eternal / Never Minds / or / Endless Should Be’s? / And take off in the Afternoon of our / Deliverance? Do we still think we can know what / Will be / If Only I can play you up or down, / Or In between? / What if I smile like a fool, / Can I then know thee? What would happen if we put all our / Broken toys away / And burned them like / The Great Chicago Fires, To be reborn again, / In the innocence of Now, / With the Understanding / Of the Mystic Blue Understanding that it only takes one / thought .. / To feel better. /

“Lord of Paradise” by Skye Ryan-Evans features a beautiful wild Chimpanzee surveying his diminishing world. “Many people are unaware that the common African Chimpanzee is no longer common. They are a species nearing extinction!” 50% of all proceeds go to The Jane Goodall Institute. An incredible organisation that helps protect the seriously endangered African Chimpanzees (often mistakenly called “monkeys”). Jane Goodall through a lifetime of tireless researching, education and campaigning was one of the first Chimpanzee experts to bring notice of their precarious status to the World stage. Thank you for helping us to assist this incredible group of wildlife enthusiasts. Jane Goodall is one of my heroes and I donate as regularly as my art sales will allow. Thank you for caring about these magnificent creatures. Skye :o-) “

I can assure you that tonight there is not a picture I’ve put up that means more to me than this one. It was difficult to adjust the focus as my tears were fogging up the viewfinder. Pulling them in with the 300 mm lense…I knew it was too dark out. I knew the pictures weren’t going to be technically “good”. / Both girls had come into the house crying earlier in the evening. Trembling… bruised.. grass stained. They had made a sharp turn with the 4-wheeler and flipped it at the end of our driveway. All of our kids have been driving this four wheeler since they were about seven years old. Lately I’ve watched the girls grow more daring. More bold. Our warnings to “slow down” and “stay in the yard” began to carry less weight in the lightness of their own sense of immortality. Aside from some minor “road rash” they are essentially unharmed. / Thank God. It was a typical friday in Fall in many ways: Indian summer weather with a blazing orange sunset and harvest moon. Our family of six, spread out now as the kids grow older. My oldest boy working at the grocery store in town. My other son playing at a football game in a town an hour away. My husband bringing the hay in from the alfalfa field as the sun touches the horizon. And me with my camera watching my girls and our two dogs race up and down the driveway in youthful exhuberance. Every night when I lay my head down on my pillow at night… I know I wont’ sleep until the last one has walked in the door. I worry about them driving. I worry about them getting injured in sports. I worry about their grades. I worry about their wrecklessness. I worry that they don’t sleep enough, eat enough, study enough. What mother doesn’t. Right? I’ve seen a lot of kids carried off the football field. Every game I pray that it won’t be mine. My husband works with the Sheriff’s Department on weekends in a college town. Lots of drinking and partying. Lots of stories about kids in car wrecks. I pray every time they turn the key to go somewhere. And all my life I’ve grown up hearing stories of farm accidents. We all grew up around the tractors and 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. My kids are no different. As I watched the girls skipping up the driveway tonight, I knew that one prayer in particular had been answered today: / God, please keep them safe. / I know this is long. But if you have kids, (or really just anyone you love!)............... I hope this will remind you to pull them closer. / /

During the summer holidays I badly injured my ankle surfing and the had to be content watching the seemingly endless run of good swells that arrived on the East Coast of Australia. This sequence was taken on new Years Eve at North Curl Curl. The swell was from the north and the tide extremely high. I hobbled onto a rock had the intention of taking photos of my friends surfing out North Curl Curl Point. The action was instead around the pool with a crowd of people watching a group of grommets having fun holding onto the pool railing as large foaming waves washed through. At one point one of thrill seekers walked to the other end of the pool closer to where the swells were smashing into the rocks. I could not believe my eyes when I saw two of the biggest waves of the day heading in and I focused my lens on his situation. The sequence in this picture tell the story of the first wave. It was amazing to watch and the crowd cheered wildly once they realised he was still standing. An infamous quote of Muhammad Ali about the potential rewards for taking a risk has been included as part of this artwork. (this has been taken out) Scott PS: The seconds wave was much fiercer and took him out with ease. Photo Taken using Canon EOS Digital Rebel ETi in sports mode :)

Wild Nights – Wild Nights! (Poem 249) / by Emily Dickinson Wild Nights – Wild Nights! / Were I with thee / Wild Nights should be / Our luxury! Futile – the winds – / To a heart in port – / Done with the compass – / Done with the chart! Rowing in Eden – / Ah, the sea! / Might I moor – Tonight – / In thee!

Metamorphosis
by Rosalie Dale IPAUnfurling gently in the soft, late sun, they shyly extend their fingers…
I wrote this last night as a companion to my Fitzroy Fronds image … and as a comment on Life. / I do intend to put both together in one image when the creative juices inspire!! / /

I saw this bin with many intriguing images. I focused on the card with numbers as a metaphor of the cards we are dealt in life. Many of the decisions we make involve risks and chances. What risks have you taken to create new pathways? What obstacles do you face on those paths? How do you feel about the cards you have been dealt in life? And most importantly, how do you deal with the cards you have been dealt? How do you interpret this rusted image? To see all the details, view this image in the larger format. I would suggest this for all of my abstract photographs. /

Risk; Dive In

This is quite long-winded and overly descriptive. It’s not my favourite piece…but then again, in some ways it is. I guess this is just about taking risks. To me, this is what life is about.
