let me hear you
make decisions
without your television
let me hear you speaking
just for me

Blending the right ingredients
I am not anonymous.
What you see here is the real deal. Me. For better, or for worse.
I chose a long time ago to write here under my own name. I respect the rights of those who choose to write under a pseudonym. It’s a time honoured writing device.
Here on WordPress, in this vibrant and supportive community, I’ve learned a lot about writing, social interaction, what works and what doesn’t. For the most part it’s been a great experience.
This week I’m mixing two worlds, my world of writing, poetry and photography, and my working world.

dinner
Today, meal times have been a little disrupted by flight times, and multiple time zone shifts.
I began the day at 04:45 in Spain.
A few hours later, I negotiated the multi-faceted joy that is clearing security for a business trip to the USA from Madrid.
Initially a little less than enthusiastic about riding Economy, to Dallas Fort Worth with American, I was delighted with my seat, an aisle, in a forward row of five with three empty seats so I could spread my stuff out with abandon. Food was not bad at all, lots of legroom and as much to drink as I could want (and a little more). Ok, it didn’t hold a candle to the comfort of flying with CL status on Qantas back in the day but hey, I enjoyed the flight and the crew were great.
After clearing security and customs in Dallas, I took a break for a Bud and a Jack Daniels (burger) in TGI. Acclimatisation.
And so, strapped in for my flight on to Vegas, here’s what I had for lunch, dinner or breakfast (insert meal time correspondinding to a timezone of your choice), edited with a little artistic licence.
Posted from seat 13D on a flight delayed due to too much wind in Vegas. Must be all the hot air generated by all those media types (yep, guilty as charged) gathering for the NAB show.
Oh, and remember not to congregate around the toilets, it will upset the Captain.

half-light
the time to hesitate is through, no time to wallow in the mire
– lyrics from light my fire, the doors
I shot this image last night whilst shooting one of the many Semana Santa processions in the city of Salamanca – more on that soon at salamancastreets.com.
In this case, the night was dark, but the city was lit by many candles, streetlights and the smiling faces of the women, men and children who packed the streets until the early hours of the morning.
The Doors’ Light my fire, and in particular the instrumental version to which I have linked, seems also to capture some of the same spirit. For me, anyway.
This shot was a lucky capture, the Plaza Mayor captured in half-light.
