April 16, 2009
Some struggle arises now between you and your partner. This relates to wishes and fantasies versus practical limitations or the way things really are. If either of you has any problems with substance abuse, dependency or evasiveness this will have a strong effect on your relationship and has to be dealt with.
I read my horoscope everyday & every day I go ‘ooo I know what it’s referring to’ or more like I find something to relate it to. Today was different, today I read it & said out loud “what a load of shit lol” (yes, I say lol, out loud).
It couldn’t be further from the truth & so today I wasn’t closed into the “Capricorn” box, I was me, the way I should be & I felt free. I know it sounds weird, but if you don’t read your horoscope every day I don’t expect you to understand.
It’s day’s like today that keep me blogging.
Whether it be the substantial amount of views, thanks to wordpress, blogcatalog, alphainventions (?) or direct links.
It’s the comments that make my mornings (like this ) & the feedback that pushes me forward; to date the count is sitting at 1047.
Today has been a “good blog day”. Thank-you to you all ♥ xx
P.S China & Hongkong; 6th of November till the 20th of November :)
Ahhhh, Chloe…that is a beautiful photo. I love how sharp the flame is and how it fades out into a golden background.
I don’t know much about horoscopes (maybe I don’t want to know what is coming) but I look forward to seeing what you bring back from China, especially Hong Kong…

Fire is so beautiful when you capture it in a photo. It’s a little after noon here right now, and my day has been pretty rough so far… That is until I read your comments and they put a huge smile on my face. I had a feeling you would love it, but it made me feel absolutely amazing to know that feeling was right. THANK YOU BABY!!! I’m glad you could feel my pain when you read it, and thanks for wanting to beat her ass, but I’ve learned that she just isn’t worth it. She is a complete fool for throwing everything away. I’m not saying that I’m the most perfect man in the world, BUT I AM THE PERFECT MAN FOR HER! No man in this universe could EVER love her as I do… NOT EVEN CLOSE, but that doesn’t seem to matter to her SO FUCK IT! She will find out the hard way someday and it will be too late. I would honestly take a bullet for that girl, and not even think about why I did it, yet she can’t even……… It’s not even worth talking about. You got my point in my poem. Thank you soooooo much for your input and it means the world to me to know you enjoyed it. I hope that you have a good weekend. Keep in touch…

By the way sweetie… You can quit calling me Mr. Shady. I consider us formal enough that you can call me Jeremy! But then again, as beautiful as you are, you could call me fuck head and I’d still respond! LOL! I bet that put a smile on that gorgeous face! Take care Princess…

Lovely shot, pin sharp and warm colours with some great textures as well. Frame it and put it on a wall!

Aaahhaa!! I love the way you looked at it and winked. This is one of those photos, I can just keep oooooon staring at for hours(thinking about so many things or mayb nothing), without blinking. I love flames and fire. I sit infront of them for hours just watching them move, die or rise(too much! ha) :)
The sharpness & focus is just superb. The dof is so amazing, maybe because of the subject(so bright). I’m already staring at it… :D Is it a bedroom candle or in a chapel? Horoscopes are interesting..maybe try reading it after a day or two. You’ll never feel this way again.(relativity is always there but it never really happened/s-thats what I think) I used to read horoscopes, I had a similar day like your today..and that was the end! :D LiveLifeKingSize no matter how small we are! ;)
Okaay..I take it as a challenge then. :D :D
Haha..in 18 months no-way!!! Anyways.. Take ur time..
I’m gonna take more time as i’m a very slow sketcher. :( Gimme the best snap.. :)

Nice shot. Lots of subtle shapes and details going on in there.
Manual shooting can be a lot of fun, and in some situations (off-camera manual lighting like that lens shot) it’s the only option. Having a good working knowledge of your manual mode is like knowing how to change a tire- even if you never plan on using it, one day the regular old thing won’t do what you want it to, and you’ll either be able to fix it yourself or you won’t get where you want to go.
It’s funny how you get used to living without a car, but never really get used to it. I will have one up here next fall, and I think it will be great for my photography, among other things (grocery shopping comes immediately to mind).
Glad you like the shot. I just bought a big piece of white paper from an art supply store for $2, and I plan on subjecting more random objects to this kind of treatment in the near future. Stay tuned.
The summer program really is very rewarding, and I can’t wait to get there. It’s nice to have responsibilities and authority after spending so much time as one of 41,000 students.
Thanks for the link as well- what an interesting capture. One of these days I’ll live in a city. In seventeen months or less I’ll be off to a graduate program, and I expect to be heading to a big city.

I have no clue who the fuck “Mycootch” or “mynooch” is. They must have found me through a comment I left. I don’t even know if it’s a man or a woman. I’m assuming a man because any woman would have absolutely loved “Eyes of an Angel.” I hope for their sake it’s a woman because if it’s a dude he’s a spineless, balless bastard. LOL! Take care baby…

Magic. It brings images of a primal flame deep in some inner cave.

Chloe I like the direction your blog is going. As you said before your definetely starting to “Blog” rather than just posting your pictures. Its nice to see your thoughts aswell as your photo’s. I like to think that you can take a picture that inspires your words. I think I will write a post today doing the same thing. Take care. P.s Sorry havent had a chance to reply to your email yet – I will do, but I was cooking again last night so you defo need to step up the training else you will be left behind on the “Ammount of meals cooked by my partner” count. :D

Hi Chloë, thanks for your comment. Its a wonder place where I took that photo, Sintra in Portugal. You’ll be able to find a lot of interesting info on the internet I’m sure. This well as a spiral set of stairs… I’ve discovered I suffer from mild vertigo while going down! Scary stuff, tbh. Thanks again and take care x

Heya, you take great photos. I am just starting out but hopefully I can reach your level someday. Not much I can say about this picture that has not already been said. It is beautiful. Also if you are going to china and hong kong you should stop off at Japan too :P

Hey buddy, How are you? I was a bit busy this weekend, caught up with the red bull air race world championship 2009 in abu dhabi. So I was having a big time with my nikky.(lol) I took more than 3000 snaps, so its gonna be pretty hard to select the best and post it in my blog. it will take some time. But i’ve added one snap as for an introduction. :D I’ve also took some fireworks with my nikky, as there was this celebration after the race, as the Abu Dhabi team(local) won the session of the world championship. YaY!!!
I’m a cancerian. And my horoscope makes no sense at all(most of the time). but its fun reading.(lol) You are making me feel like I should go for nikkor. Ehh!!!
Hey, you got the photo? Do you need a search team?(lol)
I really like this photo as it has got life in it.
