Fix You (*) - Coldplay (*) - Late Show with David Letterman (*) (Tue 20 Sep 2011 (*))
Was watching this Paradise Clip (*) of Coldplay playing Live on Letterrman and found that they played a few more songs (*), including this one.Will always remember watching this clip (*) of Chris Martin on Extras (*), with Jenny and Jo, which I had recorded on my PVR.

Fix You Lyrics

[..] And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you [..]

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I . . .

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I . . .

A Goodbye - Peel Subway Station / Montreal (Wed 24 Aug 2011)
Joel Meyerowitz (*) describes in his YouTube video (*) on Street Photography (*) ..

So the idea is to walk and watch what is happening in any crowd and see if there is an interaction.

A gesture or a hug or kiss or goodbye.

Something that is a significant gesture that makes it interesting for people to look at in a photograph.

My well used map from our trip to New York City in August 2011.

It has a few scribblings and did well to survive the rain at Flushing Meadows on Sun 14 Aug 2011. For me, it is a nice memento of the time there.

Walking back to the Hotel at the end of the last day of the Regatta, I saw this scene and captured this photo. To me it marked the end of the campaign (*) and maybe the directional arrows on the road meant something to me as I pondered the reality of my experience in Tampa.

Almost 3 months later I have had plenty of time to reflect on my - our - experience and I move forward enjoying my paddling.

I just read the following quote by Kirk Tuck (*) in a great article (*) about doing the things you love ..

Intention? That has to come from you. But I would suggest that, as a functional person, you no doubt find things in life that spark you up. Give you pleasure, satisfaction, happiness. That inflate your will to live. Distill down to those things and make them the base of your art. Then the intention will drive everything else.

From Developing muscle memory and fluid technique is almost as important as developing a sense of purpose (Kirk Tuck - Wed 28 Sep 2009) (*).

It is a great article (*) from a great blog - The Visual Science Blog / Kirk Tuck (*). Not a bad way to look at things.
