Nothing much to say though. We're off in the search for snow today. And perhaps some nice shots will come out of it.

All good.

]]> ~warrwykk http://warrwykk.deviantart.com/journal/22796572/ http://warrwykk.deviantart.com/journal/22796572/ Sun, 25 Jan 2009 06:18:25 PST But some things that I've been thinking about recently.

So much of my life is determined by fear, I think. I struggle with it and often pretend that I don't care, but.... It's not a fear of things per se, for the most part anyway. Some would say I have a bit of a death wish so it's definitely not that which scares me. Failure, I suppose, is the crux of it. Fear of failure. It's amazing what I don't try for fear of failing at it.

But it goes deeper than that. It's not just a lack of trying. I have a fear of failing others. I think I've done just that so often that I keep people at an arm's length. I used to carry my heart on my sleeve. What I loved, I loved completely. But not freely...I would be jealous and possessive of what I cared about. And as such I would fail them. I would fail to be the kind of friend or relationship that they deserved. Jealousy is not a big characteristic of mine these days, but neither is wearing my heart on my sleeve. And I can't seem to recapture that even if I try. Trust issues as well, I suppose.

I like to think of myself as essentially a good person. I have a deep dislike of anything that harms people, but also of anything that manipulates them. Puts me at odds with so many things...I'd be hard put to do a career in marketing, sales, law, business, etc... All well and good to highlight the positives of one's product or service, but only if one doesn't simultaneously try and hide the negatives. And of course they all do. That's manipulation. (Just wait for it...this is coming back to me in a minute. lol). Selective use of information to get a desired result. Me...I'm of the "there's no such thing as too much information" school of thought. Makes me crap at job interviews.

So how does that belief system affect me, besides the obvious...how does it tie into my third paragraph? This part of me that cuts people off...keeps them at a distance...will not allow me to ask for help. People ask each other for help all the time. "That's what friends are for" so to speak. But can I be a good friend to someone? Or does my need to keep them at a distance to not fail them really stop me from calling anyone friend. And if I don't let them in, then asking for help...is that an act of friendship or of manipulation? I must admit that typically if I ask for help, it spurs on a period of self-loathing in me rather than any sense of ease based on the assistance. A feeling that i betray my own "goodness" as I am not reciprocating by opening up to them. By being a proper friend.

I have a strange view of friendship that doesn't work well in the real world. If I have ever in my life considered you a good friend, I probably still do. Time and distance don't matter...I happily expect to continue where I left off...be it 5...10...15 years since I've seen you. But of course in reality time does negate that...the shared experiences aren't there anymore. And my sense of friendship, in reality, is probably more nostalgic than true. And when I reconnect with an old friend, there is more of a sense of loss at the end of the meeting... of why did I let this go. Despite the fact that even then I will consider someone a friend still in the whole sense of the word. Sad really.

I wrote in my yearbook, so many many years ago that I never wanted to be alone except by my own choosing. And here I did choose it. Was I right, or did I just completely succomb to fears that I should have faced? I like to be alone...but is that real or have I just been that way so long and repeated that statement so often that it has become the illusion of my life?

I was about to end this journal entry with c'est la vie. And yet, isn't that what I've just spent the whole journal going on about? More inaction. Very telling that my first thought toward summation is essentially "whatever." I am a big believer though infrequent achiever of the Wu Wei which is the taoist belief of inaction. But it is not inaction in the sense that I am engaging it. Inaction isn't about doing nothing...it's about doing in such a natural way that there is no need for thought. Not done for desire or motive...no sense of recrimination afterwards. Action because that's what needs to be done at a given time....

There is much here for me to think about...and perhaps it's time I actually act.

Saturday morning cartoons at the foot of my parent's bed on Spring mornings with the window open and the sunlight beaming through, the fresh air reinvigorating after a long winter. At my elementary school there was a small hill. At the top of this hill (a mere incline really, but to a 10 year old's eyes), there was a slight basin dug out...long enough ago so that the grass had refilled it. Lying there on a warm June day was brilliant. Plus my best friend's house was only two wooden fences away. My grandfather spent his summers in the next town over from me, until he passed on. He stayed on a lake where they would put out the docks for the boats. Not the old permanant constructions of an age before mine, but wooden flotillas buoyed up on massive styrofoam blocks. Lying on these seasonal structures and you were aware of the warmth of the sun on your skin as well as all that heat the wooden boards beneath you had accumulated. Dangling your feet in the cool lake water as the gentle waves give rise and fall to your bed, to be followed seconds later by the soothing splash as those same waves reach the stone speckled shore. I have tried and enjoyed the same on ocean docks, but must recommend against dangling the feet in the water. The salt water and the hot sun do not mix well and I suffered one of the worst sunburns I ever had as a result, my feet swelling up to where my toes couldn't touch the ground and I effectively had no ankles. That said, the ocean produces another of my favorite experiences. For me, the arrival of Spring is practically defined by the point where the warmer days have started to heat the water in the bays and the resulting ocean scent then wafts in to cover the towns all up and down the coast. Even at the age of 37, I am forever a child of the forests and rivers, oceans and islands. I have spent an inordinate amount of time mired in the concrete Legolands of Urban life, but for all that it's never been a good mix. Like an animal that walks up and down along the fences of their enclosure. Perhaps not unhealthily stressed, but constantly aware that one is in the wrong place.

My son was off from school this week so I took the week off as well and he's been with me all week. We've had some adventures and tried new things. We've also watched a _lot_ of the Scooby Doo marathon this week. lol All Scooby, all the time. I'm scoobied out though he's down there watching it even now.

The weather has been incredible this week. Nearly unbelievable for England in February. No rain...cool but not bad....clear blue skies. It clouded over yesterday, but no rain and today we have blue again. Took advantage of it to take some shots in Liverpool on Monday. Good times. 2 days till my birthday. It had slipped my mind again....as it does. I've been known to wake up on my birthday and not realize it until I get to work and see the calendar.

Nothing much to say...just tired of my "I am Legend" rant journal entry.

Think I want a girl like Neil Gaiman's Death (yeah, I know...join the queue). OTOH, I'm well aware that I'm not actually all that good for other human beings. I do kind of take that in stride at this point. Issues I either can't or can't be bothered to rectify. The jury is still as to which. But either way it does make me kinda poisonous.

And in 7 days the birthday rolls around again. Hmmmm....

Right...that's enough...time for a video and some popcorn. If Life comes around, tell him I'm washing my hair.

But what insane twisted moronic writers or producers came up with the story. I know, let's take out all the plot twists in a truly awesome book and make a formulaic, "1, 2, 3 is what you see" movie. Scientist needs cure....scientist finds cure...now he's legendary. Woohoo.

They changed the whole point of the title. I know tweaking has to be made to make a book a movie, but this is akin to making a movie to the Lord of the Rings and deciding to get rid of all that stuff about the one Ring. Studio execs sitting there going, "Hmmm...I'd like the lord of the rings to refer Aragorn's wedding ring. He needs to decide who he's gonna marry, so he's the 'Lord of the Rings'. Which ring will he choose? who will he marry? Get it?" Completely disgusted... I'm totally not a hardliner about books to films but they seemed to be stretching to even come up with a reason to keep the name.

It actually started out like the book, which makes it even worse...because it states questions at the beginning of the film that the book later answers but the film never does. It's like they decided to make Mattheson's book into a film and then halfway through decided "ah never mind, let's do this other thing instead." The hints come up that later turn into the twists and turns of the book, but they tossed all that out so the hints no longer make any sense at the end of the film.

Sorry, just going through cinematic meltdown here. What a totally crap film.

For anyone unaware, Nemi is a truly awesome gothgirl in a Norwegian cartoon strip by Lise Myhre. Huge deal in the Scandanavian countries, but only recently being translated into English on a large scale (though Lise says it loses a lot in the translation *sigh*).

For those non-Norwegian speakers like me... check it out. [link]

My son just got back from a trip to Spain. He had a great time. Made a new friend who he quite likes, but when I asked if she was a neighbor, he said, "No she lives with Gramps...we just didn't see her last time because she was hiding in the bathroom." lol I did later confirm with his mother that it was indeed a neighbor. Apparently he had a good time in the swimming pool. We tried it last time we were there, but he fell in and got scared and traumatised...wouldn't even go happily into the bathtub for weeks. He wants to learn to swim now.

My life is strange as always. A couple people who were quite pivotal in my life have come back into it literally with a "boo". It's a good thing. I'm enjoying the contact and catching up on so many lost times, but it's a very surreal experience. A moment of "past", I never expected to see as "present" again. So many changes. Different...the same...Just odd...

Wolfie the cowardly dog is being a hairball again. It's cooling down outside so I expected his shedding to slow down but he's shedding like mad at the moment. Need to buy a vaccuum cleaner. The alternatives are simply too time consuming. lol

I'm glad my son is back. I've decided I _really_ don't like it when he's away for so long.

Well it's been a right hectic couple of months. Seperated from my wife, moved to a new apartment, and spent a serious amount of time at various doctors. Depression hit hard (something I deal with....the seperation certainly didn't help, but neither did it bring on the depression)....to the point where the doctor said that I might get involuntarily hospitalized. Ugh! So I went to a bunch of councelors and doctors and psychiatrists....some very good...some completely useless. Lots of new pills, which when I finally got some motivation at least made for a good picture.



Getting on line again was a nightmare....the first time I called in they said that I needed my phoneline on for 7 days before I could set anything up. So I waited 7 days and called them back at which point they said that whoever had the number before me already had an account on it so I had to wait 7 days to get that removed. Then I called back and they said they could set it up but I would need to pay an installation charge right then (as I had just moved, I was (and am) broke broke broke). I had thought I could skip that as they already take out a direct deposit every month for my cable. So I had to wait until I had money again. Then I called back and the person I spoke to that time said I didn't actually need money as it would be added to my direct deposit anyway (what I thought they would do originally...UGH!!!). But still had to wait another 2 weeks for the net to get turned on...so _finally_ nearly two months on....here I am.

Been cold and rainy most of the summer here (I read that in one hour in June, we got as much rain as we're supposed to get for the whol month). So that wan't helping things....but finally there is a light on the horizon....I'm more or less settled into my new place, the rain is breaking up long enough for me to get out every once in awhile to take pictures (my form of therapy *grin*)...the internet is back and I'm part of the world again. Hopefully next month I may have some actual spending money again. Found Daz studio which I'm having a blast with (...see dragons)

So that's where things stand. I've missed this community and some individuals specifically over the last few months (no internet at work and this is a blocked site at my local library *rolling eyes*).

Hugs to all!!!!!!!

I'm in a strange place right now. Trusting in a perception with hope behind it. My hope crashed awhile ago and it's interesting to see it building up again. We are not to know what tomorrow brings.

I know this journal entry is sketchy (uhmmm...is he happy or not?). *laughs* Honestly don't know, but I am smiling as I write this. Thinking about someone who makes me smile.

In general news, I have a shoot next Sunday that I am looking forward to. We have several models and photographers involved to create a "living dead dolls" style of shoot. Should be great.

Bearing down my thoughts and emotions. All those dark places that I can not seem to keep out of. I've lost a smile that was more precious to me than I can say. I think the knight in shining armor has shown himself to be simply an old fool in rusting plate. What greater fool am I for knowing that of me, but allowing myself to see myself through other eyes. Is it the nature of me to destroy what I most cherish? Perhaps.

I am lonely in my dark hole that I dig myself into. This pit. The silent walls seem all the louder in their silence. Like the music has gone from them. I miss my music. Where is that gentle tone of ivory keys? I long to step back into the grace of the melody that surrounded me and gave me something that I needed.

I hope you can forgive me my friend. I'm not ready for the journey's end.

However, I'm starting to make the climb back. Trying to stay busy with my reading, writing, and photography. Did a shoot with a model down by the coast on Sunday. Went well, and my poor model was a trooper in the bitter cold. Pics should be up next week. Have another shoot planned for the first week or so of November with a local model (just a few streets away). And hopefully will start a more long term collaboration with another local model.

So here I am. Trying to make up for the depression with a spot of Mania.

My son started school the other day. He likes it but he won't talk about it much. Keeps telling me he forgot what he's done that day. Little bugger.

Otherwise the days pass uneventfully, though I spend a great deal of time looking at Fate recently. Fate and what lies within.

I am very very broke. Hate being broke. Want a job that actually pays me in real money. :-p Spent my last couple of quid on the new Dr. Who DVD. The first release of David Tenant's version. I'm growing fond of his portrayal. I thought they'd have a tough time replacing Christopher Eccleston, but I think I actually like David better. Even my 4 year old son is getting into this series, as he loves the zombies, werewolves, and bat creatures. I loved that they brought closure to the character of Sarah Jane Smith last week.

Right, the weather is warming up and the clouds are clearing up a bit (plus the days are getting longer) so I should be out and about with the camera more soon. YAY!

Otherwise, life goes on....

I'm not actively opposed to my birthday or anything and I don't have any arbitrary ages where I feel like I'm getting old. But I don't really like being the center of attention. And especially when it's not about something I've done, but just something about me. Kind of like if people were coming up to me saying "hey you have a nice nose." Uhh...thanks. I just don't really know how to respond. Ah well.

I love being an Aquarian. I like the whole spacey, eccentric, slightly off existence that I lead. It works for me. I often tell people that I'm just weird now, but I someday hope to have enough money to move up to eccentric. Ahhhh....my world.

Annnywaaaay...nothing much planned for today. Probably an early night. I'm coming off of a cold that's had me overly drowsy for days.

Got photo shoots with 11 models in the next 2 months so that ought to keep me busy and might result in a temporary influx of pics to my account here too. First one is set for 26/2 and should be fun...Goth shoot in a Liverpool cemetery.

Bored right now. And kinda tired. Glad it's Friday.

Have a working photography webpage now, finally. Maybe someday I'll make money doing what I want to do, instead of boring crap jobs. YEAH....got the whole model signup, gallery, shebang thing on there. Heh! It's a step anyway. Negotiating to do a model shoot that hopefully will come about soon. I have done a lot of portrait work over the years but 2 points stop them from being much use. Firstly, 99.9% of them were done for another company that holds the copyrights on them. Secondly, they were turned out factory style...y'know that whole "Sit here...turn your legs toward the main light....Look over here...tilt your head slightly...smile...next person...." Bleagh! Want to do work that I want to do and the way I want to do it......Uhmmmm....dammit. Might be wishful thinking, but gotta try. Tired of hating what I do.

Next weeks are probably uneventful. May go up to Blackpool to take some shots next weekend. Otherwise.......

Take care.

All is well (or as well as ever) as we proceed through this holiday season. Watching "diveos" with my now 4 year old son (4 on Dec24). Fast forwarding through Jurassic park 'cause he just likes the dinosaur scenes.

Not a lot to say really. I did get my new fridge yesterday so that's a definite plus. The old one was crap. I moved it and there was like an inch of sludge beneath it. It was vile!!! EWWWWWWW!!!!! But it done (and the area has been cleaned), so all is well.

1) Looking for Stock models. As I am playing around more with photo manipulation, I am thinking I want a _lot_ of just general photos on hand. Facial expressions, hands, poses, eyes,...pretty much you name it. Ongoing project.

2) Skateboarders. I'm interested in doing a series of skate shots. Need a clear day (which doesn't happen very often in NW England) so I can zip up the speed on the camera and stop motion the skating at one. Short term project...probably no more than 2 or 3 rolls of film.

3) Gothic life. Pretty much self explanatory. On going project.

4) Death. Currently outlining a series of projects in which death claims souls (what version of "death" is still one of those Uhmmmmmm points). For instance, one shot in mind would be of a skater lying on the ground with a group gathered around (presumably neck fracture). Kneeling next to the body would be the spirit of the dead person with death standing above him/her. That sorta thing. On going for the time being, but it will have a wrap up.

5) Mythology and folklore. I am working on a series of photomanips concerning folklore, mythology, etc... Everything from Greek myths, to Indian hero stories, to pagan rituals. On going. Very unlikely this one will ever end as what's the likelihood I'm ever gonna run out of subject matter?

6) The final project I'm working on at the moment is one on Taoist spirituality. This project works in two directions...one wants a chinese feel and works around the whole Lao Tzu, Zhong Kui, Jade Emperor, Seven Sages feel. The other aspect would be things that strikes me as having a taoist feel to them such as scenes in streams, forests, caves...very natural surroundings.

So there we are...projects pretty much run the gambit. If anyone is interested in pursuing some of these projects with me drop me a note. In general, my preference is for amateur models for a number of reasons. I like to think my shooting style is less director and more collaborator. I tend to have a couple of ideas in mind for specific shots, but usually the best shots come much more naturally from just doing it.

There ya go...more than anyone ever wanted to know about my photo goals and techniques.

Do you ever get the feeling that you're too obsessed with an artform? I certainly do that about my photography sometimes.

Firstly, I have noticed that I have a tendency to stare. Not at people per se, but kind of mentally putting a cropping tool around them. Looking at colors and shapes, but definitely doing so intently.

The second thing I've noticed is that when I do look at people, there's a lot more examination involved. Not so much of "she's cute" as breaking people down into their componant parts. More like " She's got nice hair. Slight hook in the nose, but I could fix that with the liquify tool if I use the right back ground. Maybe a bit more green in the eyes. Bit of extraskin under the chin, but I could take care of that. If I lightened her skin, her deepset eyes would work great for a goth shot....etc....etc...etc...."

It weirds me out sometimes, I must admit.

Stay tuned until next week's exciting adventure in which Robin says "Holy Sh*t Batman." And Batman replies, "Oh go home you little twerp." ]]> ~warrwykk http://warrwykk.deviantart.com/journal/6987872/ http://warrwykk.deviantart.com/journal/6987872/ Tue, 08 Nov 2005 06:39:12 PST
What can I say...I'm in one of those moods. No doubt it's partially due to it being cold and nasty outside, but it's just generally not been an enjoyable day. Was expecting a new fridge yesterday, but they didn't take my details properly, so they didn't call, so no one was there to receive it....now it's looking like another week. Ugh! And everyone who calls in today seems to be talking like, "I...uhmmm...just was ....calling....uhmmm...who is this again....are you who I need to talk to...uhmmm...let me get back to the beginning...I...uhmmm...just ordered...uhmm...well I made an order....it was about a week ago....I uhmmm...ordered....."

Just bloody spit it out!!!! Ugh! Sometimes it takes a lot of energy to be patient on the phone.

Between the rain and the fact that I go to work before the sun rises and leave after it sets, I'm not getting much photo time in. That always makes me moody anyway.

*sigh* Ah well. Another day must come.

Stay tuned until next week's exciting adventure when we present "Dark Shadows the Musical." ]]> ~warrwykk http://warrwykk.deviantart.com/journal/6613647/ http://warrwykk.deviantart.com/journal/6613647/ Tue, 27 Sep 2005 03:52:32 PDT
Sitting here at work (I hate ties). Slow and dull for the most part, with occasional bouts of madness. Ah well. A paycheck is a paycheck.

Picked up the DVD for Hex on Sunday. Fantastic series. Don't really see the Buffy the Vampire Slayer connection that people keep talking about other than the fact that the shows are supernatural and the heroines are young and blond. Hex is definitely a more "mature" series (which is not a downer on Buffy - one of my favorite series). The humor is a bit less pop oriented, and the show itself is much darker and more mysterious. Anyway, it's got my vote for best new series in awhile.

Right...guess I better start working. ]]> ~warrwykk
