Flores Island is magical…
On a day a few weeks ago when I gave up on trying to get a shot of something… anything… magic happened.
I woke up to intermittent rain and fog. I thought, “well… I’ll just enjoy the weather and rest my bones for a day.”
But, being the way that I am, I got in my rental car and drove all over the island to places I’d never been to before seeking something to shoot.
High in the mountains, the fog was so thick on narrow winding roads sometimes with cliffs on both sides, my hands went numb gripping the steering wheel tight and only going about 15mph.
By the end of the day… nothing. I gave up on my last full day on Flores Island. Yet, I wasn’t bummed…I was grateful to be in such a magical place in our world.
So, I drove “home,” dropped my camera gear off, changed into some dry clothes and treated myself with a good meal in a restaurant I’d never been to before.
As I was eating, the Swiss photographer I met the day before walked in. I thought the day before that I’d never see her again which is the norm while traveling. She smiled, sat down at my table and spoke about her day which progressed the same as mine. We had both given up.
As we finished our meals while sharing stories about our lives, a beam of sunlight poured in through the window almost level with the horizon.
Our eyes lit up. “Let’s go get our cameras, Greg! Meet me at the waterfall!
She ran to her house and I drove up the hill to mine. Ten minutes later, we set up our cameras on tripods, a rainbow appeared on the waterfall during Golden Hour, and what began as grey turned into gold.
Yeah… it’s also a profound metaphor for life. Think about it.

Que horror! 
Se isto tivesse sido publicado na década de 1980 eu dava muito crédito. Hoje, tal como muitos sistemas e programas, está uns 40 anos atrasado! Concordo com muito que já escreveu, mas ler isto é uma desiluzão tremenda… e li duas vezes! A tal conversa em pessoa é mesmo necessária, porque não deviamos estar assim tão longe um do outro no espectro da cultura artística e literária.

HELEN MIRREN E´RUSSA
Views: 3
Ever wondered how a Russian-born girl named Ilyena Lydia Mironoff transformed into the indomitable Helen Mirren? Her journey didn’t start with red carpets or instant fame. No, Helen’s story is one of grit and grind, of stage lights and Shakespearean soliloquies.
From a young age, Helen’s family planted roots in England, where her love affair with acting blossomed. Forget swanky clubs; at 18, she was honing her craft with the National Youth Theatre. This wasn’t amateur hour – it was where future stars sharpened their skills. Helen? She blew them away. Soon, she was treading the boards with the Royal Shakespeare Company, where acting isn’t just a job, it’s an art form akin to wizardry.
For fifteen years, Helen immersed herself in roles both majestic and mundane, all while navigating the trials of a starving artist. But her dedication paid dividends. By the swinging sixties and disco-lit seventies, she was a titan of the British stage, collecting accolades like seashells on a beach.
Yet, Hollywood? It remained a distant shore. Helen took roles in TV and film, yes, but her ascent to global stardom awaited its cue. It wasn’t until the vibrant eighties and nineties that her cinematic presence began to match her theatrical prowess. With each role, she demanded attention, until finally, in the early 2000s, the world couldn’t look away. “The Queen,” “Gosford Park” – these were not just films; they were coronations for an actress who’d earned her crown.
