    You would have to see the movie "The Salton Sea," but the picture is Val Kilmer. The movie is very unique, but very harsh. A lot of people don't like it because of this. But then again, I'm not a lot of people following the flock!!! Val Kilmer is playing a Miles Davis tune throughout the movie. I can't recall the name, but it is very soulful. You should check it out.

    I like this album, "Balance," the most, because it was their darkest hour as musicians. There is a lot of tension, and you can feel it. There is blues throughout the whole album as well. Sammy Hagar actually sang his butt off.

    Hi Claudia,

    Thanks for the hello. Yes that is me swimming with the dolphin. i lived on the big Island for 3.5 years and swam with them a lot. The spiral is one of my prayer spirals. I started making them spontaneously many years ago when i lived in Santa Barbara. I start with an intention or prayer and let the energy of the pray unfold into a spiral. then I walk back into the center taking the prayer into me. Once in the center i embody the prayer, give thanks and as i walk back out bring the prayer to life as my life. That one was a prayer of gratitude for all the love in my life. Thanks for enjoying it. i love all your kitty shots!
    sending lots of love and joy

    Ciao Claudia and thank you for your kind words.
    when I look for your photos, the flowers, I understand that you are sweet and gently and very beautiful. Beautiful is for me not only the look, the face,( i didn't sow it) etc..., but all ! The heart, the soul, the eyes, the inner light. This I try to fill always. It's more than a face .
    I hope you'll be happy and the life give you joy and love.
    I'll write you again if you want.

    Good NIght,
    Massimo

    Well, have fun and pick that guitar back up, won't you? Music is a gift, whether it's playing covertunes or just sitting around pecking out some chords. Until tomorrow, Peace!!!!!!!!!
  • David Nava

    Thanks for the compliment. It's always good when someone builds up your ego.
  • Music Diva ~

    : ) yes that's me on the photo next to Jesus. I did that on purpose cause I need him to help me find a job. Drownding in bills just a tad....
    Yeah, my hair was long and I went and cut it all off. I wanted a change to look professional. I was scaring people with my long hair, people tend to get intimidated or something. I didn't want to look like I'm wild and go out all the time ha ha. I cut it short now. Thanks for the comment, hope you don't mind my long comment back.
  • Music Diva ~

    Oh, I like #6, 15, 19 & 49. Wow you love cats huh. They are beautiful. I have a grey/white one he's great. Thanks

    Ciao Claudia.
    The landscape is a place on Italian Dolomiti mountains named valle aurina. I go there sometime for my holidays. There, there aren't cars, and confusion. I can relax my mind and my body, I live in Padova, near Venice. It' s a beautiful town.
    Looking for your photos i sow some of your face and your eyes. I say true. Beautiful. Beautiful with a special light form your heart.

    Ciao Claudia,

    love and peace to you,

    Good, glad to hear you're going to play again. I will try to post some of my tunes eventually. Right now I'm working on a hard edged blues tune mixed with a jazz beat. So we'll see. I only write and perform originals, most of the time, but I think I want to rewrite "Creatures(for a while)," from 311, and a couple of more tunes.

    Yes "The Salton Sea" is a bit like a Tarantino, but 100 times better. Can't stand Tarantino. He's got some kind of funk that has overtaken him.
  • James Murff

    You are a great photographer. I was very impressed.
  • Damian011

    Thanks for your comments I try as an artist. Your Photos are nice I like the cats.
    Peace Love and Soul.
  • Jeanette McDermott

    Oh, what a conundrum about Care2. But good for you for finding another way. Sharing the beauty of nature and all Earth Beings through photography can be such a perfect way for getting others in touch with the splendor of nature and through that beauty even inspire and motivate folks to take action to protect and preserve that beauty. I am always on the lookout for photos for my social network and would love to be able to search through your gallery for photos that might coincide with issues I post on my network. Would you be open to that? I always give credit and link back to photographers blogsites or profile page if they are a member of ecopaparazzi.

    We voices of nature seem to always find each other eventually. I'm so happy to know you, Claudia.

    Well, that's pretty cool. You play the didg, huh? I think those are very interesting sound. Jamiroqui used to use those on his albums, back in the 90's, when he actually had a full band.
  • Imtiaz Mather

    Hello Claudia, hope you are well. I cant seem to log into my page and a couple of other members pages. Seems like a server problem. Hope they get it fixed soon. Are you having any problems logging into your page? I tried to check your page out this morning but could'nt.
    Take care

  • James Murff

    I have to agree with the breathing. My being a smoker doesn't help. I must get back to my meditations, again. It's been a while. But then again, smoking is a meditation in a since. I enjoy it, I smoke 10 cigarettes a day, and it relaxes me. I am starting to wonder if the Illuminatus is correct in saying that the power of words is more than anyone realizes. Sorry, just broke off into another train of thought. I like the didge, though. It must be a very relaxing thing to play. Well, Getting back to work, later.
  • David Jones

    Yes, it's a watercolour (Celtic circle of life / eternity). Thank you for the warm words and best wishes from the UK! Great series of photos on your own page, by the way. David.

    Yeah, that was my cat, resting in peace since some time ago... He was called "Manitas de Seda" and was so adorable. I love animals but my home is not as big as I wish... Now I have a turttle as a pet-daughter jaja Happy to be in touch!
  • Giia

    Hello, Claudia and thank you for your kind words :)
    And to answer your question - yes, these pics are from my current location in Northern Florida. I am a wandering kind and never stay put much longer than a year or two but as this is my 5th month here, you are bound to see some more pics, spidery ones among them :)
    And talking of pictures, your's show some great talent!!!! I would like to point you to a homepage of my young friend who is also into creepy/crawly world and possesses the most amazing eye for them. http://rokibeebi.deviantart.com/ I hope you find it fun to navigate on a page that speaks in different tongues from your own.
    Enjoy! I did :)

    Ciao Claudia.
    i don't meditate. I think I'm no able.
    My relax is when I play my guitars, or read a book, or write some poems.

    I published some time ago a book of poems " Vibrazioni di Vita " ( lifes' vibrations ) . there are poems about the life - the love - God.
    The poems are in Italian and I think it's available only in Italy. It' s a little little thing. I've done this for charity.

    Love and peace,

    Massimo

    No, we didn't get hit by Katrina, badly. My 2 bosses did, and they rebuilt. I lived north of where all the main winds were.

    Sacred Geometry: No, I have not read his books, but I have read quite a number of things on the Fibonachi Sequence, evolution, and anomolies. Most of my genetic traits are the less dominate. For instance the nerve that runs the length of the tongue underneath, I don't have it. I have a widows peak, I have blue eyes, etc. But what got me into all of the sacred Geometry was TOOL, my favorite band. It's interesting how music can influence you. But the 7 pointed star is an anomaly, so I want to tattoo of it. There are lots of books I have read over the years, for information, for philosophy, science, religions, you name it. I have read some of the Illuminati's words, some of Satanic Bible. Christianity, Buddhism, Catholocism, Wiccan, Pagan, you name it, except for Hindu, and Islamic. But I don't claim any religion. I believe that one can believe in the powers that be, and just leave it at that. I don't know if you know of Alex Gray, but he is probably the closest to a leader as I would say I will claim following. He understands that it takes the good the bad, the ugly the misguided, the odd and irreverent to make the world go 'round. At any rate, I was not trying to write a novel, but there you have it. A little about the Frumster. My wife and I belive a lot of the same things. we don't expecet our daughter to follow us though. She goes to a Christian church and it feels right to her. But if she decides to learn other things, we'll let her know. I believe in alchemy as well, though I have never tried to turn the lead into gold. I am a musical alchemist. That's what I really believe is the ultimate language, music.

    Hi Claudia, Picture number 13 is great - luv it!!!
  • massimo

    Ciao Claudia.

    I published on my personal page some poems ( in Italian) form my little book " Vibrazioni di Vita" ( Lifes' vibrations). The book in available on web to the web site " internet book shop- www.ibs.it". if you write the title " Vibrazioni di vita" you can find it. But I dont want you buy it and if you want a book I'll sand it to you to the adress you 'll tell me. I don't want money and I don't want to invade your personal privacy. so if you want I send it to you.
    The poems are in Italian only. I hope You'll understand or traslate them.

    Love and respect,

    Massimo

    Hi Caudia.....

    The fish loved us! The Groupers became confirmed Groupies...!
    They would actually queue up, turn out way, and just hang there, staring, and listening!

    I will be posting a couple videos of our more graceful aqua-fans, the white Beluga Whales. They shimmy & glide, "dancing" to our music!

    Ciao Claudia.
    sorry, but yesterday I posted the cover and three poems too, from the the original book. I can't undestand.
    So I write here in Italian and if and when you want I'll send a book to you in Netherlands.

    Poem :

    Musica :

    E' un navigare fluente
    tra corpo e anima

    Suoni
    colori
    messaggi
    si intrecciano
    in ampia filigrana
    di dolci melodie.

    L'acqua del verso
    accende in me
    l'alto respiro del sublime.

    Sempre.
    ---------------------------
    Ispirazione :

    L'ispirazione
    nasce dalla purezza del cuore.

    La dolcezza
    nasce dalla luminosità dell'anima.

    L'amore nasce
    dalla sensibilità del mondo.

    E tutto decide
    il futuro dell'universo.
    -------------------------

    Vibrazione :

    Di tanta vita...

    e amore...

    e musica....

    vibra dolcissima
    tutta la bellezza del tempo.

    Deliberata brezza
    s'acquieta
    nel silenzio del mondo.


    --------------------


    these are some simply poems. I hope you like.

    Ciao Ciao,

    Massimo

    43 of 77 is probably my favorite photo so far. 60 of 77 is my 2nd favorite photo. I am probably going to have to add those to my collection. You should have your photos published.
