On a roll now with a few Brian Eno inspired pieces. This one is also from the "Nerve Net" album, as was "What Actually Happened ?" I wanted to use the piece "JuJu Space Jazz" for the music link but couldn't find a You Tube video for it, most unfortunately. If you can find a way to hear the full "Nerve Net" album of 1992, then you can have a listen to this phenomenal track.
What I DID find, though, was something wonderfully unexpected - a band that calls themselves, "Juju Space Jazz", most probably after the Eno piece, who produce something VERY wonderful and very much in the same vein as the original Eno. Nevermind their wacky "Funkadelic" style costumes - these folk are very accomplished players and arrangers. Dynamite stuff !!! Enjoy !!!

I thought I'd do a loosely connected series of pieces called "OP-ulence PHO-ton" all using extremely busy and ornate visual information from Pano-Sabotage shots taken with a view to pushing them into abstraction. This, I guess, will be the first.

Esistono nelle nostre città spazi separati, delimitati da confini invalicabili, in cui rinchiudiamo ciò che è inaccettabile. Ciò che disorienta, provoca, infastidisce, fa paura.
Luoghi sconosciuti, il più possibile nascosti, periferici, lontani dalla città vissuta ed esibita.
Luoghi in cui la società occulta come polvere sotto il tappeto le esistenze ai margini, le vite che non si possono definire, incasellare, categorizzare.
Donne e uomini "senza" risorse, senza casa, senza famiglia, senza lavoro, senza radici.
Persone che infrangono le" regole per disperazione", per comodità o per l'impossibilità culturale, psicologica o politica di riconoscersi nei modelli che la "società " impone come necessari.
Sono queste , le persone migliori, le amo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"In the space between yes and no,
there's a lifetime.
It's the difference between the path you walk
and the one you leave behind;
it's the gap between who you thought you could be
and who you really are;
its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future."

This is a redo of a photo I took several years ago. This time around I'm using it for Poetography where this week's word/theme is "Space." The quote is by Frank Lloyd Wright.
This seagull shot was taken at the little lake by our city center which didn't make for a very nice background so I replaced it with two textures by Lenabem-Anna.

"I actually owe the Instagram/Facebook legal team a debt of thanks; their underestimation of what users will tolerate and the resulting shitstorm inspired me to reevaluate a lot of things. I’m excited to branch out with new fervor into the photography community beyond Instagram. Instagram The Platform opened a door for me to develop friendships and become part of a community, and for that I am grateful. But that doesn’t mean it can’t continue in spite of Instagram The Facebook Commodity."
"Individuals gravitate towards the community that speaks to them, and I feel confident that my community exists far beyond the Instagram app. When you build a community, and that community is strong enough, it will survive even after you burn its house down." - @iwife, Rachel S

I stopped by the House of Cats again today and just couldn't stay away from the plastic deer fence. I tried some shots working a curved section and tried to maximize the frame to avoid a hugh crop. This shot is pretty full frame except for horizontal crop and very little processing.
I made up the whole "Space-Time" thing for the title, it really is just a plastic fence.

Nowadays my wife reads "The little prince"(in korean) for our daughter. She seems to enjoy the fascinating story a lot, so I got inspired to create a work she can have on the wall of her room(a little gift for her next birthday).

Again while my nephew was here in town providing chauffeur services while I recovered from my surgery, we hit up the usual "Tourist" spots in downtown Seattle. It truly is rare for us "Seattelites" to make a trip to the top of the iconic Space Needle. Well my nephew wanted to go and I could not resist getting a nice Springtime shot looking towards downtown. The only thing was that Mt Rainer was obscured by the clouds, but that is all right, many other neat things to see.
This is a combination of three images (handheld against the bars of the observation platform) (-2,0, 2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I had to "Paint" some chipped spots on the Space Needle Saucer with the "Clone Stamp" tool. I also removed some dust spots, and did a little "Dodge and Burn" of the highlights and shadows. I sharpened a bit and decreased the luminance of the blues to get the detail in the sky with Lightroom.

Happy New Year MM likers! This one is for Macro Mondays. The assignment is "Negative Space". I have seen a lot of beautiful minimalistic shots in the group. I tried something less minimalistic and a bit of strange white balance to get a more interesting look.
Thanks for your views, comments and faves. HMM everyone!
If I have understood "negativ space" correctly, this photo would work for the challenge.
Don't use this photo on facebook, websites, blogs and other media without my permission.

Back from the holiday weekend at Disneyland, and ready to get back in the swing of things on Flickr. For now, more photos from Disneyland Paris...
This weekend at Disneyland wasn't good at all for photos. In fact, I took fewer total photos in the 4+ days I was there than I regularly do in a single day. Part of this was by design, as I have a huge backlog of photos from trips in the last month to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Tokyo Disney Resort (boo hoo, right?). Part of it was not by design, but was a byproduct of being creatively burnt out after taking so many photos recently and just feeling unmotivated. For me this was disappointing, and solidifies my opinion that I wouldn't want to be a Disneyland or Walt Disney World local.
While I absolutely love the parks and I always greatly anticipate visiting, one thing that has given me pause about the idea of "moving to the magic" is that doing so would make me too casual about visiting and make the experience less special. My concern, basically, is that I would take the parks for granted. I (now) guess that applies both to the substance of the parks and photographing them. I dunno...on the one hand, it would be awesome to not "worry" about getting anything accomplished in the parks or taking photos (or even bringing a camera!), but on the other hand, I really enjoy those things. I currently don't worry about bringing a camera, I love bringing it. The idea that I would want to visit the parks without it makes me a bit uneasy because it's such an important aspect of the experience for me.
I love the sense of accomplishment in having a great day of photography from morning until night, and I don't want the way I view the parks to change any more than it already has. Maybe that's just sentimentality, and when I got used a new way of experiencing the parks, I'd begin to love it just as much as the vacationing style. I do know that our touring style has already changed in the last couple of years because we're going more regularly, and each of the trips we take to the US parks feels less special than the ones we used to take. We still have an absolute blast, and I'm still itching to get back even after only a few days of being at home, but things aren't the same.
Again, I know this is one of those "my wallet's too small for my fifties AND MY DIAMOND SHOES ARE TOO TIGHT" type problems, so I'm not looking for any sympathy, but I'm wondering how you all feel about this? Do you itch for a chance to move closer to the parks, or do you want to keep some space to make sure things stay special?
For hundreds more photos of Disneyland Paris (plus commentary, info, and analysis), check out our Disneyland Paris Trip Report. Total, it has 621 photos in it, so it's great way to learn about the parks in France or to plan for a trip there.

"Space Dock 2017" It's Milky Way season on Cape Cod and despite some recent crummy weather, I managed to squeeze in a few hours of dark sky shooting along Vineyard Sound this week. Some of you may recognize this dock from an image posted previously lit by a full moon. It's also the image on the back of my book. This abandoned dock has lost a lot of its boards over the years but I think it still makes a good subject with this great view of the Milky Way complementing Martha's Vineyard. www.capenightphotography.com

Artist, Plensa used transparent mesh to create a visual bridge between Wonderland (previous photo) and the Bow Tower to link art, architecture and society. The artist added two openings to encourage people to enter inside sculpture.

Some tall, Chihuly Glass "trees" reach up toward the Space Needle. There are no lights in the trees. Their vibrant color is simply from my on camera flash. I didn't want to setup my tripod so I just bumped up the ISO to 800 and used the camera flash. I was very pleased with how the glass colors popped out.

"I know, I know that I can't get too close
It's hard to take it slow
And I know, I know, I can't get too close
It takes time to let it grow
But I got the space for us, yeah
Right here where we're safe from love, yeah
'Cause feelings are dangerous
But don't hide your face, don't run away
'Cause I got the space for us
'Cause I got the space for us
Right here where we're safe from love
'Cause feelings are dangerous
But don't hide your face, don't run away
'Cause I got the space for us"

Every foot of the interior swarms with the same."

Magic Fly - "Space" - Play this track here.
?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Space were Marseille's answer to Dusseldorfs Kraftwerk. A little softer, more french, more disco, but in the same vein. This hit single from the album of the same name only really came to my attentiona decade later after listening to too much New Order (can you do such a thing you may ask?).
Space was founded in 1977 by Didier Marouani (also known as Ecama), Roland Romanelli, and Jannick Top. The first three albums — Magic Fly, Deliverance and Just Blue — were an immediate success (they sold over 12 million records all over the world).
The album Magic Fly, which is widely considered to be their best work, was released in audio cd in 2001, 24 years after its original release. Although Didier Marouani left the band in 1979, the other two members Roland Romanelli and Jannick Top released in 1980 the album Deeper Zone under the name of Space. Then Space officially split up in 1981.
In early 1980s Marouani, with Janny Loseth of Titanic as lead vocalist, continued to perform and record under the titles of Didier Marouani & Space, and Paris-France-Transit due to release lawsuits. The name "spAce" was legally reacquired after some artistic copyright disputes around 1990, allowing musicians to re-release classic albums and give a European live cover tour in 1993.
The latest Space album was released in 2002. In the same year, the S Club Juniors made a remix to their single "New Direction" featuring the backing track of "Magic Fly". The band's hit "Magic Fly" as well as many other songs from the self-named album were remixed in 2003 by the Belgian dance music project Minimalistix.
If you have chance, seek out the Magic Fly album. Tell 'em I sent you !

Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are insects in the order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest.
Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the fore-wing, while the hind-wing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body. Damselflies are also usually smaller, weaker fliers than dragonflies, and their eyes are separated.
Interestingly, Damselflies undergo incomplete metamorphosis, with an aquatic nymph stage. The female lays eggs in water, sometimes in underwater vegetation, or high in trees in bromeliads and other water-filled cavities.
Nymphs are carnivorous, feeding on daphnia, mosquito larvae, and various other small aquatic organisms, using extendable jaws similar to those of the dragonfly nymph. The gills of damselfly nymphs are large and external, resembling three fins at the end of the abdomen.
After moulting several times, the winged adult emerges and eats flies, mosquitoes, and other small insects. Some of the larger tropical species are known to feed on spiders, hovering near the web and plucking the spider from its nest.

This week in 1981, space shuttle Columbia and STS-1 lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, marking the first flight of the Space Shuttle Program. Columbia's 36-orbit flight tested the vehicle's performance as a reusable spacecraft. The orbiter successfully returned to Earth April 14, 1981, and for the next 30 years the program’s five spacecraft carried people into orbit repeatedly, launched, recovered and repaired satellites, conducted cutting-edge research and built the largest structure in space -- the International Space Station. Today, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center's Payload Operations Integration Center serves as "science central" for the space station, working 24/7, 365 days a year in support of the orbiting laboratory's scientific experiments.

Photo taken at Zimmer Clock Tower, Lier, Belgium.
Zimmer Tower and Museum is a fascinating place. Louis Zimmer was a clockmaker, passionate about astronomy. He spent 5 years building his extraordinary Astronomical Studio and Centenary clock, and presented them as a gift to his town in 1930.
One clock has 57 dials; another - 93 dials. They show not only times, dates, tides, current zodiac signs on Earth, but also many astronomy related times. For example, one clock has a dial for each planet in the Solar system, with its hand going around the dial once for every rotation of the planet around the Sun. That includes Pluto, with its orbital period of 248 Earth years - this means that it would take 248 years for the hand of that dial to complete its circle! (Note that the clocks are all mechanical – computers were not invented yet at the time).
