Biktor’s land

Hidden green

I found this strange little plan behind a washing place, there were other small plants around it,  all them were a mess but had some strange beauty, so I took this picture and tried to capture what drew my attention the most.

Freedom

Yesterday I had the intention to attend a photo exposition but I ended up in a classroom taking my first French class.  It was great the treatment  from Alliance’s people, though the course had started last week they gave me all facilities to catch up and I just took the oportunity and will do my best to make the most of it.

When the class was starting I experimented some sensations I had not felt for a long time, I felt lost, I did not understand anything (it was a new language, what did you expect?), but when it was advancing I felt relaxed and got full of self confident and thanks to my teacher I made a friend (or at least somebody that was able to support me and guide me through the sesion).

Tomorrow I have a catching up class, I feel excited because of this new thing in my life, I hope to make some new friends and know many interesting people.

Reaching sky

Today I will attend a photography exhibition of winner’s pictures of a contest called Photofrance which thematic is about Public Space.  It is taking place at the France Alliance  so I expect to meet new and interesting people over there and watch a new kind of photography which I am interested in practicing in the future.

By the way I am thinking about taking a French course, I like learning different languages, I enjoy a lot the process of learning them, the problem is that the one offered by the France Alliance is too expensive, but I will decide it definetly this night.

I am still updating GED, it has been a bit complicated to finish it because there have been some others things to do at the same time but I expect to finish it today.

Green and beer

Today I invited a new friend to my blog, her name is Daris, one of the most loved friends I have, she said she finds photography fascinating so maybe she is buying a camera to try to shoot her own moments.  

Now I am progressing in my intent of sharing this beautiful little project with people I love (one by one, just when I feel invitation is going to be appreciated), today it was  successful at all.

Things to do today: 

To call my brother to congrat him because some days ago it was his birthday (I have been forgetting that, I will do it after writing this) .
To finish the upgrade of GED.
To finish that thing I know I have to finish but I have done.
To edit pictures for the rest of the week (at least one for tomorrow).
To put everything in order.
To go to the gym because everybody love flu (I am always avoiding it and exercising is the way).
To organize the gallery.

No more listing, they are too many things to do….

The sea's monster of three heads

I am sure it is a monster, is not it?, jajaja, at least that was my impression when I was editing it, so I choosed this name.

I took this picture a morning of february, it was the 17th at 6:51 a.m.

Upper

That morning I was in my backyard, I took a chair, climbed onto it and start watching everthing over my house’s ceiling, when I was checking the house’s front I saw these beautiful flowers in my neighbor’s ceiling, it was a good surprise, these are things you can not see with the average height.

Update:  Today, the 25th of February, I discovered that this tree is not from my neighbor’s house, it is one of my house’s front terrace trees.

Sunday chicken

Drill

There is a carpenter shop in my house, it has been the familiar business for a long time (I have to confess I have no much idea about it), this is one of the tools they use to work and make holes to wood.  When I was trying to take this picture my grandfather was working and I was bothering him, requesting him to move to the left and move to the right and looking for the best angle and it was a cute situation, it was great seeing my grandfather moving with me, like he knew how important it was for me, I felt loved.

Chicken

Yesterday at night I found no pictures in my flash card to post today.  So I sat in front of my computer and starting to watch all photos I have and this chicken drew my attention.  Original picture had problems with light and some colors were not enough saturated, so I remembered I had installed Photoshop Lightroom in my computer (the truth is that I tried to use it before but I could not find tools I needed for postproduction) and maybe because it was night I could find tools I needed, it was like finding a grocery store, I wanted to use everything (and I did it), and this picture is the result of my first experience with APLR.

INVEMAR has its own Content Management System, now it is time to develop a new version of that, and that is my new target.

This task has so many interesting things to do, starting from the graphic desing, user profiles, new modules, upgrading and improvement of existing modules, among others.

Today I have been working in the new User Profile schema (there was a very basic one), during morning I was drawing data base tables and relationships (entity-relationship model, the small one necesary for the module).  They were seven tables in total and now I am ready to start developing related classes and interfaces.  I have many ideas in my head, I want to use a nice implementation of MVC (Model View Controler) wheter it is one of my own or one of them you find in the web (Struts, JSF, etc). The point is that I want to do a better thing than the last project, thats the idea when you start something new, do things better, and better, and improve, LEARNING, that is the goal.

So, I am very excited with this, I am working in this project with Oracle, Java, JSP, AJAX (Javascript frameworks).

Today it is a special day because I have been six month working at INVEMAR, so I am very happpyyyyyyy.

So see you tomorrow.

PD:  Tomorrow I will introduce you to GED.
