Saudade. Saudade (European Portuguese: [sɐwˈðaðɨ], Brazilian Portuguese: [sawˈdadi] or [sawˈdadʒi], Galician: [sawˈðaðe]; plural saudades)[1] is a Portuguese and Galician word that has no direct translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing may never return.[2] A stronger form of saudade may be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing.
Saudade was once described as "the love that remains" after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again. In Brazil, the day of Saudade is officially celebrated on 30 January.[3][4] History[edit] Origins[edit] Definition[edit] Elements[edit] Music[edit] Estivation. Aestivation or æstivation (from Latin: aestas, summer, but also spelled "estivation" in American English) is a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation, characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate, that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions.[1] It takes place during times of heat and dryness, the hot dry season, which are often the summer months.
Invertebrate and vertebrate animals are known to enter this state to avoid damage from high temperatures and the risk of desiccation. Both terrestrial and aquatic animals undergo aestivation. Invertebrates[edit] Molluscs[edit] The habit of climbing vegetation to aestivate has caused more than one introduced snail species to be declared an agricultural nuisance. There is decrease in metabolic rate and reduced rate of water loss in aestivating snails like Rhagada tescorum,[2] Sphincterochila boissieri and others.

Thomas Sanders was born and raised in Sonoma, California. He took a high school course that provoked his interest in photography, which quickly grew as he took pictures of his siblings and peers. He was excepted into Cal Poly University in a noteworthy photography program where he continued his education as a student. Sanders lives in Los Angeles where he shoots personal, editorial, and advertising work for an array of clients. He is currently working on a series documenting World War II veterans which he hopes will one day be in a published book. You’ve been photographing “The Faces of World War II” for the past two and half years. Many of the veterans have a memento from the war that they are photographed with. How many people have you photographed for this project, and what is your editing process? Belmont Village Retirement Communities recently commissioned you to photograph the WWII vets residing in their communities.
Flickr Stigma. I have an interview planned for posting shortly with Bryan Formhals, who founded La Pura Vida Gallery. La Pura Vida accepts submissions from its flickr group for online and physical shows. Bryan recently commented on a post over at DLK, which spoke to the negative reaction of gallerists and those in the art world to blogs. He went further and said the following about flickr: A similar stigma exist for people who use Flickr which is equally as foolish. Now, I'd been thinking the same as of late.
To which rewards am I referring? Anyone who thinks there is not incredible photography on flickr - great shots you'll never see anywhere else and which will inspire you - is being plain foolish. Here is a sampling of shots that my contacts posted in just the last week or so. (For the sake of time, I'm just posting their flickr names and a link to their streams, but everyone's got a real name, of course and usually a website so check them out!)

Every day isn’t always the best day, but when that happens, we have the power to turn it all around.
It’s our responsibility to shake off a bad mood, and move onto greener pastures! Here are some ideas to help kick a rotten day to kingdom come… Do something good for someone else, even though you may not want to. Do a favour, help them find something, give them an item which will help them in some way. Start the flow of positive energy. Eat the best chocolate you can get your hands on. Turn up music you really love. Have a romance in your head. Volunteer. Buy a remote control for your camera & dip your toes into the pool of narcissism. Call a friend & ask them if they want to have a slumber party. Throw yourself head-first into a creative project. Do the splits. Sing. Cover your entire body in cocoa butter & fall asleep. Drink 2 litres of fizzy drink (pop, soda, you know) & stay up until sunrise. Write a list of things that you appreciate right now, in the present moment.

M. Scott Brauer - Nanjing, China - Photographer. Zackary canepari. Big Picture Notes. I will be out of the office and away from all things digital next week, for a much-needed break. The next full entry will be on Monday, December 14th - but don't forget the 2009 Hubble Advent Calendar, which will keep updating once a day until the 25th (hurray for automation). I'm off on vacation next week - trying to catch the tail end of the summer, and enjoy some time on Boston's Harbor Islands with my family. If anything huge and photogenic happens next week, I'll try to do my best to wrap it up with my next entry on Monday, August 24th.
One year ago, I set out on this long crazy journey, not knowing where it would go, but certainly having high hopes. things have gone amazingly - if hectic, but it's been a very rich experience that I will continue with as long as I can. If there's anything you'd like to see different in The Big Picture, or more of (or less of), feel free to let me know. An recent encounter captured by photographer Nancy Chan in Vallejo, California.
