Trying my luck

Trying my luck by Damian Gadal
Moving along,
covering new ground...
with no clear indication,
what I'll find down the road.

December Beach

December Beach by Damian Gadal
I've been playing with the much improved iPhone 4S. I have to say that the camera really has come a long way, as has the software available to process images.

This makes using phones as full time camera a much better option, and a lot more fun.

Lonely Heart

Lonely Heart by Damian Gadal
Lonely Heart, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.
We tear down our bridges
and build up walls instead...
lock up our doors and gates
and hearts...filled with lead
We take love and seal it
away... in a room somewhere
and know how to care.... only
for friends and children...there
is no love anymore...to share
with the billions of others
who need it so much...
no one can penetrate our
locked up world...no touch
of another is welcomed... I
am a rock...hard and solid
we say... I will not cry...
or be vulnerable...but
of all the commodities we
could have...love is the only
one lost when kept...when freely
given it increases and grows
but locked in our hearts
we bemoan our woes...
never giving to those who need
never filling the need we
have ourselves...by allowing
them to give...Here I'm empty
give me love...and I'll return
that love to you... I do not
have so many friends I can turn
one away... I dot not have so
much love I can let one micron
of it go... I'd love to love... I know

You win again

You win again by Damian Gadal
It's surprising how a turn of events can end.
Days start and never finish...
Dreams bourne...
Their fires quenched...
Treasures are friends...
That time takes away...
You win again.

Ship and Shine

What do you do when you're on a moving boat and losing light quickly?

One solution: crank up the ISO.
