This was taken at Broadway & 92nd St., as I saw this woman reading a cell phone text message, while leaning against a shop window filled with bottles of vitamins and nutritional supplements .********** ******************************* Note: This picture was published in a June 1, 2010 blog entitled “ Vitamins for hair growth . “************** *********** This is the continuation of a photographic project I started in the summer of 2008: a random collection of “interesting” people in a wide swath of the Upper West Side of Manhattan – between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.Zoals I said when I started this project in 2008, I do not invade the privacy of people, so I normally use a telephoto lens to photograph while they’re still 50-100 feet away from me, but that means I must continue to focus my attention on the people and activities half block away, rather than on what is best for me.Ik have also learned that in many cases, the potential for an interesting picture are very fleeting – literally a matter of a few seconds before the person (s) in question will, turn away or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I’ve learned to the camera turned on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery life), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly framed photograph … Thus, if the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it’s pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the hoofdonderwerp.Tot now I have generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, lunatics, and the homeless. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures, but they generally do not want to be photographed, and I do not feel like I take advantage of them. I’m still looking for opportunities to a number of “sympathetic” pictures of such people, who can inspire others to reach out and help them take. We’ll see how it goes … The only other thing I’ve noticed so far is that while there are plenty of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people not so interesting. They are probably fine people, and they might even more interesting than the ones I’ve photographed … but there was just nothing memorable about them.

From my set entitled “Roses” www.flickr.com/photos/21861018 @ N00/sets/72157607214064416 / In my collection entitled “The Garden” www.flickr.com/photos/21861018 @ N00/collections/7215760718 … From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org / wiki / Rose A rose is a perennial flowering shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, which contains over 100 species. The species form a group of erect shrubs and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp thorns. Most come from Asia, with smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America and northwest Africa. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. [1] The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval leaves. The plants fleshy edible fruit is called a rose hip. Rose plants range in size from tiny, miniature roses, climbers that can reach 20 meters in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize, which gave rise to many types tuinrozen.De name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed through Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: Rhodon (Aeolian form: wrodon), from wurrdā Aramaic, Assyrian wurtinnu of, the old Iranian * warda (cf. Armenian Vard, Warda Avestan, Sogdian Ward, Parthian war). [2] [3] Attar of rose is the steam essential oil of rose flowers used in perfumes for centuries won. Rose water, made of rose oil is widely used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, marmalade or brewed for tea, especially for their high vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to peel Rose hip seed oil, used in skin produceren.De leaves of most species are 5-15 cm long, pinnate, with (3 -) 5-9 (-13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated edge, and often a few small spines at the base of the stem. The vast majority of roses are deciduous, but a few (particularly in Southeast Asia) are evergreen or bijna.De flowers of most species roses have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, but in a few species yellow or red. Among the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These can be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. The ovary is inferior, developing below the petals and kelkbladen.De total fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Rose species that produce open-faced flowers are attractive to pollinating bees and other insects, thus more apt to produce hips. Many of the domestic cultivars are so tight petals that they have no access to fertilization. The hips of most species are red, but a few (eg Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which 5-160 “seeds” contain (technically dry single-seeded fruits called nuts) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, one of the richest sources of each plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then distribute the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat zaden.Hoewel sharp objects along a rose stem commonly called “thorns”, they are actually prickles – outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue from the stem). True thorns, as for example Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always occur on one node and those nodes and internodes along the length of the mandrel itself. Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over. Some species, such as Rosa rugosa and R. pimpinellifolia are densely packed straight spines, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are regularly seen by deer. A few species of roses only rudimentary spines hebben.Rozen no points are popular garden shrubs, as well as the most popular and best selling flowers florists. In addition to their great economic importance as crop florists, roses are also of great value to the perfume industrie.Vele thousands of rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use, most are double-flowered with many or with all of the stamens mutated into additional petals. As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars, varieties and species was possible when a rose garden was planted by the nursery for Abney Park Cemetery Loddiges, an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in Engeland.Twintigste-century rose breeders generally size and emphasizes color, producing large, attractive flowers with little or no odor. Many wild and “old fashioned” roses, by contrast, have a strong sweet geur.Rozen thrive in a temperate climate, although certain species and cultivars can flourish in subtropical and even tropical climates, especially when grafted onto rootstock nodig.Rose pruning, sometimes considered as a horticultural art form is largely dependent on the type of rose to be pruned, the reason for pruning, and the time of the year, at the time of the desired snoeien.De most old garden roses of strict European heritage (Albas, damask, gallicas, etc.) are shrubs that bloom once a year, in late spring or early summer, at two years old (or older) poles. As such, their pruning requirements are quite minimal, and are generally comparable to other similar shrubs such as lilac or forsythia. In general, only old, thin canes pruned away, to make room for new shoots. One-year-old canes should never be pruned because doing so will remove next year’s flower buds. The shrubs can be pruned slightly, immediately after flowering disappear and the overall height or width of the plant to reduce. In general, pruning requirements for OGRs are much less laborious and disciplined hybriden.Moderne than modern hybrids, including hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, modern miniatures, and English roses, have a complex genetic background that almost always includes China roses ( R. chinensis). China roses were growing, ever blooming roses from humid subtropical regions that bloomed constantly on a new vegetative growth during the growing season. Their modern hybrid descendants exhibit similar habits: Unlike old garden roses, modern hybrids bloom continuously (until stopped by frost) on the new shoots during the growing season. They therefore require pruning away of any spent flowering stem, in view of the plant’s energy to lead to the production of new growth and hence bloemen.Bovendien new, modern hybrids planted in cold winter climates will almost universally require a “hard” annual pruning (reducing all canes to 8 “-12” in height) in early spring. Again, because of their complex China rose background, modern hybrids are usually not as cold-hardy as European OGRs, and the low winter temperatures often dry out or kill exposed canes. In the spring, when pruned, these damanged canes often die back all the way to the tree root zone, resulting in a weakened, maimed plant. The annual “hard” pruning of hybrid teas, floribundas, etc. should generally be done in early spring, most gardeners coincide this pruning with the blooming of Forsythia shrubs. Poles must be cut about 1 / 2 “above a vegetative bud (identifiable as a point on a pole where a leaf once grew). For both the Old Garden Roses and Modern Hybrids, any weak, damaged or diseased growth should be pruned away completely whatever time of year. Every one rose pruning should be done so that the cut is made at a forty-five degrees above a vegetative button. This helps the pruned stem callus faster, and reduces fluid accumulation in the cut, which can lead to disease problemen.Voor all general rose pruning (including cutting flowers for arrangements), sharp secateurs (hand-held, sickle-shaped leaves pruners) should be used for any growth in 1 / 2 chopped ” or less in diameter. For poles with a thickness greater than 1 / 2 “, pole loppers or a small handsaw are generally more effective; secateurs may be damaged or broken in such gevallen.Doodhoofden is the simple practice of manually removing any spent, faded , withered or discolored flowers from rose bushes during the flowering season. The purpose of skulls for the plant to boost its energy and resources to focus on the formation of new shoots and bloom, instead of fruit. Skulls can also be perfomed, if faded flowers are ugly, for purposes aethestic. Roses are particularly responsive to doodhoofden.Doodhoofden causes different effects on different kinds of roses. For continuous blooming varieties, whether Old Garden roses or more modern hybrid varieties, deadheading the rose leaves plant to continue forming new shoots, leaves and flowers. For ‘once thriving’ varieties (which bloom only once per season), skulls has the effect of causing the plant to new green growth form, even if new flowers will not to The next flowering seizoen.Voor most gardeners rose, deadheading is used to control the growth of rose plants to keep the rose plants strong, vibrant and productive vernieuwen.De Rose has always been valued for its beauty and has a long history of symbolism. The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with their goddesses of love referred to as Aphrodite and Venus. In Rome a wild rose would be placed on the door of a room where secret or confidential matters were discussed. The phrase sub rosa, or “under the rose “, means to keep a secret – derived from this ancient Roman praktijk.Vroege Christians identified the five petals of the rose with the five wounds of Christ. Despite this interpretation, their leaders were hesitant to accept because of its association with Roman excesses and pagan rituals. The red rose was eventually adopted as a symbol of the blood of Christian martyrs. Roses also later came to be associated with the Virgin Maria.Rozenteelt came into its own in Europe in the year 1800 with the introduction of the eternal blooming roses from China. There are thousands of varieties of roses developed for bloom shape, size, smell and even the lack of stekels.Rozen are ancient symbols of love and beauty. The rose was dedicated to a number of goddesses (including Isis and Aphrodite), and is often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary. “Rose ‘means pink or red in a variety of languages (such as Romance languages, Greek and Polish). The rose is the national flower of England and the United States [4], but also as a symbol of England Rugby and the Rugby Football Union. It is also the provincial flower of Yorkshire and Lancashire in England (the white rose and red rose respectively) and Alberta (the wild rose) and the state flower of four U.S. states: Iowa and North Dakota (R. arkansana), Georgia (R. laevigata), and New York [5] (Rosa generally). Portland, Oregon counts “City of Roses “under his alias, and holds an annual Rose Festival.Rozen are sometimes the basis of design for rose windows, such windows comprising five or ten segments (the five petals and five sepals of a rose) or multiples thereof, but the most Gothic rose windows are much more extensive and probably originally based on the wheel and other symboliek.Een red rose (often held in one hand) is a symbol of socialism or social democracy, it is also used as a symbol of British and Irish Labour party and by the French, Spanish (Spanish Socialist Workers Party), Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Brazilian, Dutch (Labour Party) and the European socialist parties. This was when the red rose was used as a badge by the marchers in the May 1968 street protests in Paris. White Rose was a World War II non-violent resistance group in Duitsland.Rozen are often portrayed by artists. The French artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute some of the most detailed paintings of rozen.Henri Fantin-Latour was also a prolific painter of still lifes, especially flowers such as roses. The Rose ‘Fantin-Latour’ was named after the kunstenaar.Andere impressionists such as Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne paintings of roses in their perfumes werken.Rose are made of rose oil or rose oil, a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by distilling the steam pumping petals of roses. The technique originated in Persia (the word Rose itself is from Persian) then spread through Arabia and India, but Today about 70% to 80% of production in the Rose Valley near Kazanluk in Bulgaria, with some production in Qamsar in Iran and Germany. [citation needed] The Kaaba in Mecca is annually washed by the Iranian rose water from Qamsar . In Bulgaria, Iran and Germany, damask roses (Rosa damascena ‘Trigintipetala’) are used. In the French rose oil industry Rosa centifolia used. The oil, pale yellow or yellow-gray in color, is called ‘Rose Absolute’ oil to distinguish it from the diluted versions. The weight of oil extracted is about one three-thousandth to one six-thousandth of the weight of the flowers, for example, about two thousand flowers needed for a gram of oil produceren.De main constituents of rose oil the fragrant alcohols geraniol and L-citronellol and rose camphor, an odorless paraffin. Damascenone-β is also an important contribution to the geur.AanhalingstekensWat’s in a name?
