Purpose
If your picture has been blogged here, it means that it has appealed to over 300 art jurors (currently 50 active) for a whole week or more. That is an achievement!!!
... and what does that mean ??? well according to This ... it means your picture is "... extremely resistant to people wanting to get rid of it", :)

Toxic Warehouse Fertilizer Slips
This warehouse was abandonded, everything including the bulk fertilizer, was just left behind. I am certain that this should be a superfund site.

"Cheap" gas
Just go a Lensbaby 2.0. Took it for a spin tonight. The title refers to this self service gas station called ÓB or Ódýrt Bensín or Cheap Gas in English. I'm not sure that many people can agree with the name when the price of gas is as high as it is.

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.
Saint Francis de Sales (1567 - 1622)
So I spent forever trying to do this one idea I had and it would just not work out. So I gave up and decided to go with my fallback idea that I wasn't very excited about. Only to have it turn out perfect. Funny how things work like that. I love this shot, and it only took 2 shots to get it. No editing, just turned it B/W.
This is the best picture that's been taken of me. I think it really captures who I am.

Multiples
This was a bit of an experiment. There are three 60second exposures here, and during each one I adjusted the zoom ring a few times so that mulitple images developed on the same exposure.
Unfortunately each image comes out a little faint because of the limited exposure at each point and the overlying sky. Still, I though I would share it. Let me know what you think.

..solo un fiore tra i tuoi capelli..
(Japanese Woman Waitin' ..)
Vorrei
solo essere un fiore tra i tuoi capelli.. silenzioso.. timido.. forse.. inutile.
ma ti compiaci quando allo specchio ti guardi...
e sorridi...
perchè sei bello,
ma quel fiore fra i capelli, senza nulla dire, ti addolcisce

San Cristobal de la Barranca, Jalisco.
San Cristóbal de la Barranca, en vías de convertirse en pueblo fantasma. Por el lugar solía pasar un río cristalino, abundante en peces y camarones, al que cada fin de semana llegaban cientos de turistas a echarse un clavado en las aguas y disfrutar de la tupida vegetación. Aquí se acostumbraba a sembrar maíz y algunas especies de frutas.
En la actualidad, San Cristóbal de la Barranca es un sumidero de la severa contaminación que afecta al río Santiago. Su historia no dista mucho de la de El Salto y Juanacatlán, donde también hace unos 30 años la gente de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara acudía a nadar y acampar en sus alrededores. No existe más un equilibrio ecológico, no hay aire puro ni agua limpia; no más plantas ni animales, ni tierras fértiles. No hay más fuentes de recreación y, a cambio de todo eso, la población tiene que soportar enjambres de zancudos, alergias, infecciones respiratorias, asma bronquial, leucemias, linfomas, insuficiencia renal, urticaria, conjuntivitis, vértigo, cefalea crónica y otros males.

All'ombra di Soter
Questa immagine vuole essere un omaggio al fotografo Soter Mulé, www.flickr.com/photos/glc/ mio amico. Questa immagine l'ho scaricata dal suol stream, perché la trovo affascinante. La sua modella ha saputo dare il meglio della sua capacità interpretativa suggerendomi un diverso punto di vista. Questo lavoro non vuole essere una competizione, ma semplicemente il riconoscimento del grande valore che l'immagine prodotta da Soter ha.
