Today’s Affirmation; I, Stephanie, (insert your name here if you like) practice loving my perfectly imperfect self. I am going through a time in my life where my emotions seem to be expressing themselves in ways that on occasion make my uncomfortable. I learned that when a women goes through menopause she has more testosterone in her body than ever before so I am learning how to deal with my new emotional self. I feel scared and grateful for this new power I seem to have and am enjoying learning how to use it constructively. I patiently listen even more to my emotional heart knowing that it is leading me to right where I am supposed to be. Thank you for being in my life today. Thank you for practicing loving your perfectly imperfect self. I Love You. :~)

Today I am grateful for how good I feel the morning…

Yesterday I went to do some street shooting by the river here in Calgary and I decided to make a video while doing it :). If your interested in street photography you might like this.

Video shot with a Canon 5D mark iii & 16-35L with a Rode Videomic Pro

Bellow are the photos in order as they appear in the video. All photos were shot with a Nikon D300s & 50mm 1.8D.

Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Fresh off  closing ceremonies at Sochi, still smiling from the exhilaration of Canadian men and women’s hockey taking gold, I find myself pondering another Olympic moment.

The courage of Tommie Smith and John Carlos exemplifies the civil rights movement. I’m not going to explain why – take 5 minutes out of your life to watch a snapshot in time, a moment in history when  Olympics’ sacred line was crossed, when damn the consequences ruled over “tow the line”. Smith and Carlos managed to define injustice without uttering a word.

I often write of protest; specifically my dismay at society’s screwed up priorities – our spoon fed, cult of celebrity, gun toting, fundamentalist, reality television, someone else’s problem world. For those too young to understand the optimism, hope and determination of people who believed they could make a difference, I wish I could roll back time. When coffee shops and campuses burst under the weight of collective purpose…

Well swept sidewalk

Fallen leaves are scattered and stay

An autumn Sunday

Ponder the modern world as an “age” in history’s timeline. Let’s call it the “Fossil Fuel ” age – hundreds, thousands of years from now – marked with linear bookends in high school textbooks. Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Ice Age, Fossil Fuel Age – simply another unit of study. Industrialization, steam engines, coal, striking oil, combustion engines, plastics – environmental waste, greenhouse gasses, carbon emissions, fouled water….. Another “age” with a beginning and end.

Historically speaking, each great “age” heralds monumental change – radical departures from “business as usual”. Changing “age” rarely happened without considerable turmoil. Bronze Age copper mines in present day Jordan for instance, obviously not pleased when smelted iron obliterated centuries old bastions of wealth and power. Control was reassigned, fortunes dried up or shifted, fresh opportunities presented themselves – ultimately civilization advanced. Ages of man don’t politely roll over, respectfully making way for new…

We are so lucky in Georgia and Atlanta to have so many Parks and Trails! I found this one today and I am so glad I did. It is a beautiful day today, crisp and clear, the trail is a little over a mile. The scenery is great! Cute little bird houses…Lots of graffiti. Not tons, I guess the appropriate amount for train tunnels. It is pleasant and peaceful. There is a park at the end with many baseball fields. (or the beginning depending on where you start)This park is a the back of Mason Mill Park off of Clairmont Road. Let me know of a park I can visit near you. Happy Staycation!!!
