This is my personal blog, not a venue for saleable images. In fact, because it's here that I share things that are important to me with the members of the moblog community, photo quality's not my priority. Events, occasions, achievements, thoughts, trips and experiments - you'll find them all here. Contact me for the development version of my photo portfolio, for a selection of saleable images or visit my dance photography blog or my website for cuttings. And remember that all photos remain my copyright unless I've specifically said otherwise.

"Never to get lost is not to live, not to know how to get lost brings you to destruction, and somewhere in the terra incognita in between lies a life of discovery."
........ Rebecca Solnit
"Give, give, give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine."
........ Isabel Allende
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
........ Harold Thurman Whitman
"The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes...."
........ Marcel Proust
"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.. you have no such accurate remembrance of a country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle...."
........ Ernest Hemingway
"Ambition leads me not only father than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it is possible for man to go."
........ James Cook
"The grand show is enternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapour is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."
........ John Muir
"The bicycle is the most civilised conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart."
........ Iris Murdoch
"Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your picture...."

Rich says:
I can totally see the face of Jesus in the central blue shape.
MIRACULARSE!
Inter-pilgrimage anyone?
Dhamaka says:
*giggles* actually the left half looked just like a map of Africa but it came out too blurry to post
I'll follow ya Rich-Man!
anonymous says:
very nice shot
Twiglet says:
Jesus H Christ in a bauble!
You've invented a whole new blasphemous exclamation. : )
Twiglet says:
The Beloved has just taken a look and says it looks more like Cat Stevens. Hasn't got quite the same ring to it though somehow, has it?
Dhamaka says:
Maybe I should give it another title - He's for life and not just Christmas? - Watching you, watching me?
Puddikat says:
That's mad, I can see him too. I smashed a bauble putting mine away but it wasn't half as interesting.
Gael says:
You do realise that you could sell that via Scoopt and end up with a queue of pilgrims coming to see the sign? : )
Can't wait to see what you can find for Easter!
Dhamaka says:
Thanks guys :)
Good grief b'elf you're right! Do you think he'd buy it? I could surely do with the money at the mo!
backwards lamb says:
there so is a face in that little thing there if its jesus sell it to a church or some hting tell the pope, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOME ONE TELL THE POPE !!!
Dhamaka says:
*drops jaw with horror* I threw away a piece of The Dude! Forgive me....
Twiglet says:
Where exactly are you Dhamaka? I'm organizing a pilgrimage to the Holy bauble and need to tell them when I book the coaches. : )
Twiglet says:
Ahh! A business woman eh? You intend to turn your Christmas decoration box into another Lourdes do you?
FilbertFox says:
maybe the Pope has his own blog and will see this here. The pope blogging, now there's a thought!
Dhamaka says:
what would his blog name be I wonder... Big Daddy? UnderDude? Quo Vadis?...
RareAquaticBadger says:
Cor... Missed this when it was posted. Fantastic photo!
Seeing as a grilled cheese sandwich with the face of the virgin Mary sold for ~$100000 on ebay, I'd recommend putting it on there!
RareAquaticBadger says:
Whoops; I was wrong, it only made $28000 (see here), but that's still not bad for a 10 year old sandwich.
Cheers! I've finally got round to becoming a member, so yay for avatars!

JokerXL says:
I'm a KK fan; I'd buy it.

Fiver donation to your 'trip' if you Email it to me!
Dhamaka says:

Buy me a drink when we've both got time and are in the same country.
I'll have a koffie verkeert if we meet in the netherlands or a green tea if we meet in the UK
JokerXL says:
Not silly at all D.
