Somthing we all knowabout "Change" but i thought id share my view

   
  " My "understanding of change as in money. quarters, nickles,dimes,and penny's .

Chang to me is the very bottom of the barrel of money .Dollars, Greenbacks ,broken down into change.
 A lot of people depend on change just to get by in life to live day to day. Change is not as important to some people as it is to others . For that  3 cents or your 36 cents you got in your pocket, thers some one out there that depends on that to survive  sadly enough . Its that much closer to water ,a hot dog ,or a beer what ever it may be.There surviving and feeding  from the bottom of the barrel .

I my self have been in incidences where i depended on change to be able to get something  i needed  or something to eat or drink . How many of us stop to pick up that quarter on the floor with a little excitement
because  it put  Just " that much" more money in our pocket than we had  before you picked it up .It was only a quarter
 But yet i put us just  twenty five cents higher in our financial status  . Not much  BUT  it mattered ,and felt
as if moving slightly up towards more money .  Some people will pass a penny feeling its not worth it . But on a smaller level a child will glow wen they find a shinny new penny , because they just know its a bit closer to buying that bubblegum .  Or some people will be happy to be just one cent ahead in life.

On a larger level change can move the world . Million's of dollars in change  are collected in donation drop box's all over the world and have huge impacts on  cures and gives hope for organizations for good causes  .And chances are most of us toss our Change in there happily knowing it is going to a good cause
and with the understanding that we have to give in order to receive . Thats the way the universe works .


 Chang can be good if you have it to give . Chang can be a blessing if its all you got  .Change may be the bottom of the barrel but it keeps the world turning  by circulating round and round from one hand to another, from one state to the next  ,Into the next charity box, or to the next unfortunate hand  and out again .or maybe were just trying to save that last green back and keep a lil handy to hold on to that dollar just a little longer .

Beauty in trapeze

I was at the mesa art center today with my kids attending an event  . One of the shows That were being performed  was a few beautiful trapeze / yoga type of art  . The first trip i only took my wide angle lens and I was kicking my self in the but because  I couldn't get a close enough shot of the performers . As we wer going home Something kept telling me i need to Take advantage of the beautiful over cast day soft light and  Wonderful poses that i was seeing as we watched.  So i went home and grabbed my zoom lens and went back .

At first i thought they were done  for the day because  i didn't see them   . So approached one of the performers And asked if they were gonna perform any were soon .She said they were from Santamonica  California.But that there was one more girl to perform for the day. I was very Excited to hear that  .So i waited .

 She came out and  I started shooting .I shot from different angles  getting rid of distractions in the back grounds , Using the sun to my back and shot up wards to capture the over cast clouds  as a back drop .
 All white even cast made for a stunning white out back drop as the performer popped  out with great contrast . It almost  seemed Like she was posing for me  . But im sure it is routine positions of relaxation and peace  . She was totally at one with her self ,and with the Trapeze bar .  Ashe mover calmly and focused on feeling and technique .  I thanked them  and hurried home to see what i got . And oh how i am amazed with these photos!  Its ops  like this and experience that keep me fueled  to become greater and greater .

Thank you for your time . I hope you enjoy this round of photos : )
