Beautiful Butterfly Bush Butterfly Bokeh Background (Summer 2010 Long Island, NY Home) - IMRAN™ It was a hot summer's day in late July 2010 at my blessed home on Long Island in New York. The barely 12 inches tall butterfly bushes I had planted in 1995 had grown into 12 feet tall plants at my back decks. They really are magnets for butterflies. On some days it seems like a computer generated scene, when hundreds of these beautiful creatures are all over the plants. I captured this perfectly positioned butterfly 14 summers ago, with the Nikon D300 I still use. The summer sunlight glow on some elements vs the slightly darker shaded areas in the background made the scene even more magical. © 2010-2024 IMRAN™ #bokeh, #Bushes, #butterflies, #Butterfly, #D300, #EastPatchogue, #flowers, #green, #Home, #IMRAN, #LongIsland, #memories, #Nature, #Nikon, #Patchogue, #radiant, #summerBeautiful Butterfly Bush Butterfly Bokeh Background (Summer 2010 Long Island, NY Home) - IMRAN™ It was a hot summer's day in late July 2010 at my blessed home on Long Island in New York.

Absolutely Stunning Blood Red Memorial Day Sunset 2024 On Tampa Bay At Blessed Apollo Beach Home (VidCap) - IMRAN™ It’s only a low resolution video screenshot on the iPhone 15 Pro Max but it gives you an idea of tonight’s stunning Memorial Day 2024 sunset. I captured it at my blessed home on Tampa Bay. This corner of my place in the universe at this moment in space and time has among the greatest sunsets I have seen in all my travels for half a century or more. Tonight was a great example. I said a prayer of gratitude soon after. The Nikon D850 timelapse being captured right now will be posted another day, God permitting. © 2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Florida #TampaBay #ApolloBeach #sunset #nature #photography #MemorialDay #holiday #gratitude #MaghrebAbsolutely Stunning Blood Red Memorial Day Sunset 2024 On Tampa Bay At Blessed Apollo Beach Home (VidCap) - IMRAN™ It’s only a low resolution video screenshot on the iPhone 15 Pro Max but it gives you an idea of tonight’s stunning Memorial Day 2024 sunset.

A Dog's Life: Action Movie Star Dog Kennedy & IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor) - IMRAN™ I had actually enjoyed John Wick 3 a lot more than the first two movies, despite the violence being a little too central to the movie. But my enjoyment of the movie was likely increased by the active, and I mean active, ball-busting (biting?), role two German Shepherd type Belgian Malinois Dogs play in the action sequences. But the coolest thing to me was the badass poster photo of Keanu Reeves and Halle Barry in the desert with the two dogs. I could not arrange for a sexy co-star and a second dog, but I really wanted to spoof the poster with my own version with Kennedy. Since a visit to a desert location was not practical, we decided to do the shoot right outside the home in Apollo Beach, Florida. It also would have taken a year for my hair to grow to Keanu's hair length. It would also have taken minus 20 years for my stubble to be dark as it was in the past. Lacking a time machine, and feeling certain that Keanu Reeves will not feel his chance of getting the next movie are threatened by me, this is the movie poster for.... IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor). My multi-talented handyman took some great shots with my Nikon D850. In this one Kennedy's and my legs are caught in matching mid-stride and he looks sufficiently menacing (although he was actually smiling thinking we were going for a drive). © 2019-2024 IMRAN™A Dog's Life: Action Movie Star Dog Kennedy & IMRAN WICK(3D Sense Of Humor) - IMRAN™ I had actually enjoyed John Wick 3 a lot more than the first two movies, despite the violence being a little too central to the movie.

Dodged Dogged Double Vision Double Vision - IMRAN™


Dodged Dogged Double Vision Double Vision - IMRAN™

Exactly five years ago today. The forever smiling Kennedy in the back. Fast-growing K2 in front had been with us a full five weeks. He was just 13 weeks old in this photo. 

Both German Shepherds were waiting as I was bringing them a treat. They watched me take this photo of them with my own selfie reflection in the sliding door. 

The doubled title words play on there actually being a dual reflection in the double-paned glass. I had to use high contrast to avoid it looking too much like a shaky camera photo.

Stunning Dramatic Dark Clouds & Bright Tampa Bay Florida Sunset, 180° Panorama At Blessed Apollo Beach Home, Autumn 2018 - IMRAN™ This very detailed panorama spans from North to South views of a magnificent late October 2018 Florida sunset from the dock at my blessed home on Tampa Bay. It was created from about half a dozen photos taken with the Nikon D850. A beautiful lover had given it to me as a birthday gift the year before, in 2017. Literally 4 months after this photo, she gave me the second of the three bests gifts ever….. my precious beloved German Shepherd Dog, Kennedy for Valentine's Day in 2019. K2 the next GSD was also her gift in 2020, a year after Kennedy. © 2018-2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Tampa #TampaBay #ApolloBeach #Florida #sunset #panorama #memories #autumn #OctoberSkyStunning Dramatic Dark Clouds & Bright Tampa Bay Florida Sunset, 180° Panorama At Blessed Apollo Beach Home, Autumn 2018 - IMRAN™ This very detailed panorama spans from North to South views of a magnificent late October 2018 Florida sunset from the dock at my blessed home on Tampa Bay.

Silly Amazon Site Error Highlights Future Vision That 3DP+JITM+RTD= MobRet - IMRAN™


 

Silly Amazon Site Error Highlights Future Vision That 3DP+JITM+RTD= MobRet - IMRAN™


The magical powers of Amazon, or the weakness of poor UX CX software systems quality assurance? Amazon dog food delivery is Available TODAY -- even though the product is Not Available. Maybe the Amazon trucks have mini-factories to manufacture dog food en route to making a delivery. 


In all seriousness, for several years I have described to clients how such a blend of mobile 3D printing, just-in-time manufacturing, and real-time-deliveries will enable the reality of such Customized Mobile Retail sooner than we expect. 


Human foods are likely among the first use-cases that will go mainstream. The irony, that basically the centuries old street food vendors concept at a far more flexible and gigantic scale is one of the next big things. What else do you think such convergences will create opportunities for?

Unusual Image Of Two Friends Rigging Up For A Beautiful Tampa Bay Florida Sailing Saturday Past A Palm Tree “Umbrella” - IMRAN™ It’s a windy but humid Saturday on Tampa Bay. Through my living room windows I saw two guys setting up their vessel to go sailing. The strong wind was whipping the palm fronds wildly. I crouched at the window sill to take this shot. It took about a dozen clicks before I got one without the plants blocking part of the view. © 2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Florida #TampaBay #ApolloBeach #sailing #spring #sailboat #catamaran #weekend #weather #water #trees #POVUnusual Image Of Two Friends Rigging Up For A Beautiful Tampa Bay Florida Sailing Saturday Past A Palm Tree “Umbrella” - IMRAN™ It’s a windy but humid Saturday on Tampa Bay.

Thought For Food: Reveling In Ravioli Revelation - IMRAN™ Honestly speaking, I do not like pasta and starchy stuff. However, if you drown it in enough creamy sauces, cheeses, etc. then I’m quite willing to enjoy it. Ravioli with other stuff inside it also offers some options I enjoy. Boiling ravioli doesn’t really count as cooking (which is something I truly have no interest in all my life) but throwing on a few things can lead to some decently tasty - although not earth shattering - meals. © 2021-2024 IMRAN™ Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max portrait mode photo April 22, 2021. #IMRAN #Florida #Italian #food #foodie #cooking #ravioli #bokeh #eating #diningThought For Food: Reveling In Ravioli Revelation - IMRAN™ Honestly speaking, I do not like pasta and starchy stuff.

Crouching K2 Hidden Dragon - IMRAN™ My always playful German Shepherd Dog K2 loves to play predator, especially with my beautiful neighbor family friends’ dog. The Wolfe’s, whose dog Riley ironically isn’t a GSD, had taken care of Kennedy & K2 for 3 days. That was literally two days after I brought K2 home in April 2020. So he is very close to them. Riley is a really sweet and super fast running labradoodle, whom my dogs never could catch in a race. This April (2024) as we were leaving for a walk, K2 saw Riley sitting looking at him from his driveway. K2 likes going into this crouching tiger stance and holding perfectly still for minutes- as if his prey can’t see him. 😀 I took this picture and just wanted to highlight his posture and fun personality. © 2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Florida #ApolloBeach #GSD #GermanShepherdDog #K2 #dogs #animals #posture #wordplay #predatorCrouching K2 Hidden Dragon - IMRAN™ My always playful German Shepherd Dog K2 loves to play predator, especially with my beautiful neighbor family friends’ dog.

A Dog’s Life: Kennedy Esq. GSD & His Love For Other Animals - IMRAN™ In the first few months of my getting Kennedy as a gift, my precious rescue German Shepherd Dog, I walked 25000 steps daily (12.1 miles max one day for me) with him. Until the Florida summer and time constraints made that unsustainable, it became about 10,000 daily steps on average since then. This photo of Kennedy and the bunny just casually watching each other was taken on May 10, 2019. That was exactly 5 years ago from my writing these lines tonight. His care for other animals was mind blowing. He was clearly a young GSD between 3-5 years old then. He loved chasing squirrels up into trees. But then one night during our walk he found a dazed & confused squirrel in the middle of the street. It had likely struck the side of car tyre so it wasn’t bleeding or injured, but in shock. By the time I realized what it was, there was no time to pull in the retractable leash Kennedy was on. I was worried the alpha male predator in him would rip the poor small creature (as he did to a toy squirrel the first night I had him!). Instead, I was stunned as Kennedy nuzzled the shocked and now doubly-surprised squirrel to my neighbor’s grass on the side of the street! We stood for a few minutes watching. Then, sure enough, the little animal got back to its full senses and successfully ran off into the night. Kennedy just had this look of joy on his face as he looked up at me.
