I picked this toy boat up from Walmart for $1! I'm going to modify it a tad but for a sailing photo shoot ^ ^
There's a big splotch of trouble (1), I tell you. It was very intermittant, and I actually thought I had the problem solved before getting this far, but then it reared it's ugly head again.
I cleaned both blades with some alcohol and a cotton swab, then began the reassembly.
1) i wear huge amounts of make up at all times; when the above photo was taken, i talked my faux-son into taking me to a mexican place to grab a drink and a burrito. i do NOT leave the house without eyeliner, in this photo i don't have on lipstick which is just weird.
2) my first tattoo is (was) on my chest, is now covered, and will be covered again this summer hopefully.
3) i am from new york city, but my family moved to kentucky when i was 15. i went running back to the east coast as fast as possible, and ended up back here again last year in the midst of a career / lifestyle change / semi-midlife crisis. [i'm better now]
4) i know how to ride a motorcycle, thanks to my dad, and i am working to finally get a license here.
5) i have been arrested 3 times since i moved here, all for traffic related offenses.
6) i do not ever feel like i have ever fully 'fit in' anywhere, except with my friends in philadelphia. i have mastered the art of the rockabilly 'look' yet i've never been a member of that scene; i love street art but i don't look at ALL as if i belong anywhere near that. go figure
7) i am insomniac like you wouldn't believe, and without medication i drudged on for years getting 2-3 hours of sleep at a time.
8) my natural hair color is dark brown, and i don't think i've seen it since my 13th birthday when i was allowed to buy awful red box dye. i've been addicted every since.
9) i work 50-60 hours a week out of my house / sewing studio. i had to move my sewing machines out of my house because i would stay up all hours of the night working.
10) i love the smell of moth balls, attics, old cars and freshly cut basil.
11) i often get too busy or stressed out to eat. i can and will eat breakfast at any time of the day.
12) i still have most of a new york accent, or so i like to think. i say 'you all' and 'you-ses', not the southern 'y'all'
13) i have the uncanny ability to plan events. i don't know how, i just find a way to 'make it work'...
14) i have a shoe fetish like you wouldn't believe. in addition to owning a decent vintage 40's and 50's high heels library, i also wear and collect nike dunks, and betsey johnson high heels. i am 5'1'' without my beloved 4" heels.
15) i firmly believe in, do everything wrong but have it come out right. my life is a good example of this. i dropped out of high school!
16) my first job was at a gourmet bakery where i discovered high end chocolate, and developed a lifelong obsession with cake.
For FGR: Things I do at work when nobody is watching
I totally sing karaoke into our classic Uher reel-to-reel machine. I'm too lazy to take my tripod on the bus with me to work because I already have a lot to carry, so I had to prop my camera up on the table. *shrug*
edit: I replaced it with this photo because even though you can't really see the awesome Uher machine, I look way more rock star.
Oh, and I was tagged yesterday by moiht as part of "16 things..." so I think I can come up with 16 random things about myself today.
1. I love to sing.
2. I'm picky about what I'll sing. For example, I actually hate karaoke, but I love to sing a capella music with other people.
3. I love shoes, but I can hardly ever find any that fit because my feet are oddly shaped thanks to gymnastics as a kid.
4. Something I would like to do at some point in my life is to live in the arctic, north of the arctic circle, for one full year.
5. I feel like I know far too much about India and Indian music for a white girl from the prairies who's never been to India, thanks to my ethnomusicology training.
6. I'm 5'4" but people always think I'm taller than that.
7. I don't wear high heels, except on special occasions, so I don't know why people thing I'm taller than I am.
8. I'm not a natural redhead, but people always think I am. I do think it suits me though.
9. I'm very envious of people who speak multiple languages and can communicate fluently in with their partner in all of them.
10. I love meeting new people and getting to know them, but I get stressed out spending too much time around people who don't know me well. It's a conundrum.
11. The last time I played my saxophone was in 2005 at my debut with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. I miss it sometimes. And that was such a fun gig!
12. When I was a teenager I was goth, and it felt like it was all they talked about in the speeches at my wedding.
13. I'm a widow, but I don't feel like I fit the profile.
14. I love to read, but I choose books because of the prose style not the content or storyline. I like clever, well-constructed prose with vivid descriptions of the setting.
15. I have a complicated relationship with food. I'm working on simplifying it though.
16. I love, love, love wool socks. Especially Smartwool. My feet get cold easily, and good wool socks help solve that problem.
Zhele for the Russian sim fashion contest "Trendista" hosted Badosha. Round 1.
I almost settled the case with studies and I have some free time.
But I had forgotten how to draw. We'll have to practice again. On the job took a lot ...... for about a week .... for a couple of hours a day = A Normally I do the work for one day.
I think you will like it =)
Love you, guys *_*
And thank you again, qouture, for your amazing clothes *_*

This is Spider-Man with Gargoyle Ledge & Retractable Web Line by Toy Biz in 2001 as the Series 1. I bought two of these and my son played with one and I stored this one in the garage then forgot about it until I found it last year. Green Goblin is somewhere in the house – and I saw it in one of a toy boxes so I need to go through with all the boxes again.
Most puzzling thing in toy search in my house is that when I see a certain part of a toy in a certain toy box but I don’t do anything about it but then later I see more of that toy’s parts in another box then I get motivated to find all the parts and make the toy complete but I can’t remember which toy box I saw the first part so I go through with all the boxes and that’s real time consuming – and physically demanding at the same time – process but it is fun except during a search I easily get sidetracked and chase for other toys at the same time and the circle goes on and on!
I was tagged by Mysticartgirl like a week ago, and I'm late in doing my 25 things, but here I go...
I can't believe I'm doing this... I'm a painfully shy person and so private. Posting this gives me nerves! LOL
1. I graduated with a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (specializing in music) last spring.
2. I've played the piano since I was 6 yrs old, and stopped playing three months before I was about to get my diploma in Piano Performance with the Royal Conversatory of Music. I just didn't want to do it anymore...
3. I don't know where I'm headed in life... typical of most 23 yrs olds I guess.. haha!
4. I was a total music theory nerd when I was in high school, and I finished all the courses the Royal Conservatory had to offer in music theory before I finished high school
5. Before we got into photography, badminton was our hobby, and Bryan and I used to play 2-3 times a week.
6. I'm living in the U.S. on a visa, because of Bryan's work.
7. I've gained sooooo much weight since moving to the U.S. I'd love to drop 40 lbs and get back into my old clothes
8. My weight has always been up and down, up and down... sooo annoying when it comes to clothes
9. I got into Blythes when my university was on a 3 months strike during my 4th year in school (yes 3 months!!) I had nothing to do and these big headed dolls caught my eye while I was surfing flickr. I think people were trading moo cards and I wondered what these dolls were on the moo cards.
10. I miss my family dog, Kobe, so much! I wish I could've brought him to the States with me. I like to think about him before I drift off to sleep
11. I absolutely adore dogs, and I really wish we can get one, but Bryan's not on the same boat.
12. Omg... only on 12?? My goal is to clean up the entire house this week. Such a daunting prospect...
13. Our flower beds are so over grown with weeds, and I've been trying to manage it by pulling them by hand. We have weed spray, but I'm afraid to use it because all the neighborhood critters hang out in our backyard. If anybody has any advice in managing weeds please let me know! My back will thank you!
14. I miss living in a big city. Toronto is so much more exciting than Seattle.
15. I used to hate eating Chinese food, but now that good Chinese food is hard to come by in Seattle, I miss it so much! (Toronto has a huuuuuuge Chinese population)
16. One of my first "encounters" with nature was during a week long outdoor education field trip in grade 7. I don't think I've ever hiked through the woods, before then. The impact of seeing the beautiful rays of sun coming through the trees had a lasting impact on me.
17. I always begged my parents for a camera when I was young, but ofcourse they said no. Film was expensive.
18. I love to read. I started reading adult fiction at the age of 10
19. I'm a nighthawk (is that even a word?) I love staying up late. That is when I get most of my work done.
20. I spend almost all my time sewing these days.
21. I enjoy doing crafty projects. I get a sense of fulfillment when I'm doing crafts.
22. My husband is a genius (literally) and I'm always 10 steps behind him or more. Being with someone with a gifted mind has its challenges. I don't know what he's talking about half the time, but we're great friends =)
23. I have an intense fear of driving. I have my license and everything... never failed any driving tests, but I just don't like driving at all.
24. I'm obsessed with Lati dolls these days. HELP ME!!!
25. I have hyperextended knees which means my posture is all sorts of wrong! My knees and back always ache and I swear I'm gonna be in a wheelchair when I grow old.
Omg finally! We're done!! That's me in a nutshell, and more than I have ever shared at once on flickr LOL
I tag everybody else who wants to play along.
OMG I just thought of a #26: Nobody in real life calls me Jessi. Everybody calls me Jess. I had to use jessi as my flickr screen name because every variation of jess and bryan was taken already. I just find it funny when people call me jessi online =D

Elite Minor from series 1. I had to touch him up and add halo 3 Plasma Rifles because I brought him used and didn't have any weapons. The baseplate is custom made and painted as well
16 things about me:
#1 - i haven't done anything creative for about a week or so, and i'm getting twitchy, but there's so much else to do.
#2 - at some point in my life, i started handwriting solely in block capitals - yet when i type i only use lower case.
#3 - i keep in touch with old friends, but if i just met you last week - you'll wonder where the hell i am.
#4 - despite my liking for using old equipment, i like to mix it in with the latest gizmos. i'm not sure what alvin toffler would make of it all. perhaps i should ask him.
#5 - i am listening to a cassette tape of wolfman jack on radio caroline, as i type this.
#6 - keely smith... wow.
#7 - i have seen ghosts, real ones... lights, stuff moving in front of me... once i even got attacked by a green mist in a haunted building.
#8 - there is a correlation between the velvet underground and rockabilly music and sometimes it feels like i'm the only one who knows this.
#9 - i love sun records - pure music, no bull.
#10 - the jazzateers, orange juice, the shakin pyramids, aztec camera(early stuff only mind)... genius.
#11 - i read too much, i should do more.
#12 - i'm a late starter to blog-writing, despite running fanzines since about 1987, but i'm getting there ( eight8all.blogspot.com/ )
#13 - i'm always amazed at politics within the rockabilly scene, and how dumb the arguments always seem.
#14 - i do actually live in a house filled with retro ephemera.
#15 - i want more tattoos... the next one i want is going to hurt... badly.
#16 - i can trace my family history/background through at least 5 different ethnic groups... but mostly i'm white -trash south american.

(•) – The-Lockheed-Martin-HC-130-P/N-Hercules-The-Combat-K.I.N.G-1-I-is an extended-range version of the C-130 Hercules transport. HC-130 crews provide expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery capabilities to our Combatant Commanders and Joint/Coalitions partners worldwide.
Mission
The mission of the HC-130P/N "King" is to rapidly deploy to austere airfields and denied territory in order to execute , all weather personnel recovery operations anytime...anywhere. King crews routinely perform high and low altitude personnel & equipment airdrops, infiltration/exfiltration of personnel, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area refueling point missions.
When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, casualty evacuation, noncombatant evacuation operations, and, during the Space Shuttle program, space flight support for NASA.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130P/N are improved navigation, threat detection and countermeasures systems. The aircraft fleet has a fully-integrated inertial navigation and global positioning systems, and night vision goggle, or NVG, compatible interior and exterior lighting. It also has forward-looking infrared, radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers, satellite and data-burst communications.
The HC-130 can fly in the day; however, crews normally fly night at low to medium altitude levels in contested or sensitive environments, both over land or overwater. Crews use NVGs for tactical flight profiles to avoid detection to accomplish covert infiltration/exfiltration and transload operations. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications, and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Drop zone objectives are done via personnel drops and equipment drops. Rescue bundles include illumination flares, marker smokes and rescue kits. Helicopter air-to-air refueling can be conducted at night, with blacked out communication with up to two simultaneous helicopters. Additionally, forward area refueling point operations can be executed to support a variety of joint and coalition partners.
Background
The HC-130P/N is the only dedicated fixed-wing combat search and rescue platform in the Air Force inventory. The 71st and 79th Rescue Squadrons in Air Combat Command, the 550th Special Operations Squadron in Air Education and Training Command, the 920th Rescue Group in Air Force Reserve Command and the 106th Rescue Wing, 129th RQW and 176th Wing in the Air National Guard operate the aircraft.
First flown in 1964, the aircraft has served many roles and missions. It was initially modified to conduct search and rescue missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range and increasing loiter time during search operations.
In April 2006, the continental U.S. search and rescue mission was transferred back to Air Combat Command at Langley AFB, Va. From 2003 to 2006, the mission was under the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Previously, HC-130s were assigned to ACC from 1992 to 2003. They were first assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command.

"The Evolution of my D200 / Manfrotto 486RC/190 Tripod Setup:
1) I bought my Nikon D200 as an upgrade for my Nikon D70. To protect my investment while on a trip to Costa Rica, I purchased a Kata Rain Cover. I quickly found to fundamental flaws in the design of the cover. 1) You could not put a strap on the camera without the rain running down the strap to the camera itself. 2) If you chose to simply carry the camera with your hand in the cover, condensation would build up inside the camera leaving the cover foggy, and the camera moist.
2) My next step was to build a frame that I could put the camera on, have a strap, and still keep it free from rain. This worked perfectly. I then found that if I wanted to take a picture using my tripod, I would have to take the camera off the frame and put a plate on. I chose to get a Manfrotto 3299 Quick Change Adapter, and mount it onto the frame. The plate goes on the bottom, to secure the frame onto the tripod, and, the quick release goes on the top, to secure the camera. Now I was able to quickly place the camera on the frame, as well as place the frame onto my 190 without having to worry about screws.
3) I kept the original strap on the camera while it is on this setup because 1) it was difficult to take off and put on. I could disassemble the rain gear in less than a minute, So, to have it ready to go, at all times, I just leave it on.
4) I did, however, add two Velcro straps to the frame for securing the straps. 2) This also doubles as a safety strap should the camera fall.
5) I did find that in some cases, rain would get on my lens. I added a T-section to my camera frame and was able to find an umbrella with the same threads.
6) My next challenge was the flash. Taking macro shots in the rain required extension tubes that required lots of light. That was something that was always lacking when it rained in the bush. My Nikon SB-800 is not waterproof, nor is the internal flash strong enough for most macro applications I had. I added a flash holder made from left over PVC pipe, which neatly screws into the T-section on my frame in place of the umbrella. A Ziplock bag completed the flash rain-proofing. The SB-800 is connected with an SC-29 cable, to my D200.
7) Taking pictures at night, in the dark, had a few near misses. I found that it was difficult to see my camera / tripod in the dark. Reflective tape on the legs of the tripod remedied this. Since I always carry a small flashlight, this worked out perfectly
8) During the winter, a tripod can get very cold. With bare moist hands tending to stick to the cold exposed metal of the tripod, I added pipe insulation to the top part of the legs on the tripod. This made the tripod much easier to carry in the winter with no gloves on, and, gave it a better, more secure grip.
9) Spring in British Columbia brings with it the re-emergence of bears, after their winter hibernation. While concentrating on my subject matter, I was left vulnerable to bears. Although I carried Bear Spray (a pepper based substance that can be sprayed as far as 8 meters) it was much more convenient to have it mounted on one of the tripod legs using a Velcro strap, that also doubles as a strap for keeping the legs together while transporting through the bushes.
10) I also found that the inside of the center of the tripod made an excellent place to store my extra bear bangers and a first aid kit (bandaids and ointment).
11) When I have to switch lenses or remove or replace my flash more than once, cases are fastened to the legs of the tripod, making them easily accessible.
12) My remote, instead of dangling all over is neatly velcroed to one of the legs.
13) Fom time to time, I also place a double ended clamp with a diffuser plate, on the setup to either place my GPS or take notes on the surroundings.
I can’t see this being the end of the evolution for my setup. It has endless possibilities."

I'm not usually interested in pets, but this is my parents kitten, and it turns out she makes a great model.
It's difficult to get a black kitten to come out well in low-light like this, so it was another useful lesson for me.

This is the new beginning to my 365 project. Right now, Everything seems right. Its almost summer, I'll have more photo opportunity, I'll have more inspiration. I'm skeptical, but I will try my hardest to pull through this time WITHOUT messing the numbers up, or quitting because it gets to be too much.
This past week has been pretty low key. Memorial day was yesterday, and Mom had her friend Nancy over for a cook out/swim session for the evening. I had a good time, Nice food, Fun people, Family, Entertainment. It was gorgeous out, and everyone seemed to be getting along perfect.
I'm going to refrain from telling you all the detail in the "I got sick later on" story, because It wasn't a good scene. Lets just say, I haven't puked that much up since I was 12.
Today I've spent all day watching movies, and laying in bed. I've had a movie obsession for the last two or so days. So far:
Risky Business
Up
Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs
Bolt
Super size me
Bob the Butler
Footloose
The Breakfast club
Roller Derby Girls
and I'm still going strong. I just started "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". I haven't heard from anyone if its good or not but I'm going to try to stay awake through the entire thing. With he mix of rain, and warm blankets is kind of hard to not want to snuggle up and sleep.

Q. Is that dirt road commonly known as the Beach Road?
A. Beach Road. It comes out at Kapoho. Okay, wait. I gotta say about the stops. Okay, we made several stops to smoke cocaine. And after, well we kept continuing on little ways.

Then we continued to go forward down the road.
Q. Would that be towards Pohiki?
A. Yes. Then we reached by these mailboxes area that we turned around. That place is better known as Red Road where they call it. And we headed back towards the girl.

he wanted to talk to the girl he said. I guess to make a date or something.

A. Then we headed back and he was going faster and I was telling him for slow down. About 40-45 miles per hour because I looked at the speedometer. And then he just kept on going towards the girl.

1914 dated postcard view of the Health Parade in Peru, Indiana. This scene was on North Broadway west of the Miami County Courthouse Square. The intersection in the center of the scene was Fifth Street. The photographer was at the west edge of the courthouse square and facing northwest toward that intersection.
Besides the parade, a variety of vehicles filled the street, from automobiles to carriages to wagons of various types. The band members probably thought they were leading the parade, but the boys on bicycles seemed to think otherwise.
The sign on the first business at the left edge of this postcard advertised CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK. This was north of the alley in the middle of the block. A 1902 business directory¹ gave the business address as 14 North Broadway, but the 1906 and 1912 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Peru show the address at that location as 16 North Broadway. Both map sets show another bank next door at 18 North Broadway and the sign in this scene at that address advertised the PERU TRUST CO. The state auditor’s report for 1910² included a review of trust companies. This company was incorporated in 1904 with E. W. Shirk as president. The address of the large building next door was 20-22-24 North Broadway. The 1902 directory listed the Hall & Loewenthal clothing store at 20 and 22 North Broadway. The sign on that building in this scene is unclear, but may advertise C. N. HALL & SON. The 1912 map set shows a boots and shoes business at 20 North Broadway Street and a clothing business in the remainder of the building, but these may have been parts of the same business. Both map sets show a drugstore on the corner (26 North Broadway).
North of Fifth Street, the large building was identified in the 1906 map set as the Bearss-McCaffrey Block. Notes on the map sheet suggested it was not yet finished. The sign on the side of the building appears to advertise FUNERAL DIRECTORS. Another postcard scene includes this building with a Lenhart-Murphy sign. In 1912, they were in the furniture business if not the undertaking business. A 1901 city directory listed Lenhart & Simpson in the furniture and funeral directors businesses. The signs across the front of that building on Broadway are unclear, but the 1912 map set shows a furniture store at 52-54 North Broadway Street. The furniture and funeral businesses were often combined in those days.
The only other readable sign on that building was a FURNITURE sign near the north end of the building. The bottom of the sign advertised PERU FURNITURE COMPANY.
The map set shows a dry goods business on the northeast corner at Fifth Street (51-53-55 North Broadway). The Senger Dry Goods Company store was at this location. The sign hanging from that building along North Broadway advertised DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS. The sign was probably associated with an office upstairs.

PTOLEMAIC KINGS OF EGYPT, Ptolemy I Soter. Alexandria mint. Silver. Oktadrachm. 28.48 g. After 300 B.C.E.

A unique variety of the first Ptolemaic silver oktadrachm; with a superb portrait of Ptolemy I.
On the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, the richest part of his empire, Egypt, was ruled by Ptolemy, his friend since childhood. Like Lysimachos, Ptolemy introduced coins bearing a portrait of Alexander the Great, but in the 290’s BC he started to mint coins with his own portrait on the obverse. The portrait is in the tradition set by Alexander, as can be seen from the pose and tousled hair, but it also emphasises individual characteristics of Ptolemy, notably the thick and bulging forehead and the prominent chin. The portrait is certainly ‘idealised’, however, since Ptolemy was aged about 70 when this coin was made, yet the portrait depicts a man of mature middle age.
Like Alexander, Ptolemy is shown wearing the royal diadem, he also wears a divine symbol, the aegis, knotted around his neck. The aegis or goatskin fringed with snakes was worn by Zeus, whose bird and weapon, the eagle and thunderbolt, are shown on the reverse and were adopted as symbols of the power of the Ptolemaic king.
This is a rare specimen of the double silver denomination or oktadrachm. Like the normal tetradrachms it was struck at the rather light weight standard which had been introduced when Ptolemy established Egypt as a closed monetary area. Thereafter only Ptolemaic coins were used in Egypt and, because they contained less silver than equivalent foriegn coins, rarely left the kingdom of Egypt.

The magic of film, in multiple ways!
1) I had forgotten I took this shot on film, until I developed a mystery roll of Ilford Delta 100 with a more recent roll. I didn't even remember taking this frame until I was hanging it up to dry. I shot this for color (her red coat was great), but I absolutely love it black and white.
2) For anyone who thinks film is a grunge medium ... just shoot a fine black and white film through a Hasselblad. The Internet will probably crud this up a bit, but the full-res shot just pops. Craft can matter! It's ok!
I have some new shots of Meg I am excited to share, too. She rocks.
Shot on Ilford Delta 100 with a Hasselblad 500C/M, through a Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 CF. I'm in love with that lens. Developed in Kodak TMAX Developer, I think for 6 minutes and 15 seconds minutes at 70 degrees, using a Jobo machine processor.
Run. Feel the soft, caving earth beneath your feet and let it remind you that nothing is stable, not even your most natural home. Ducking under branches that grab at your hair and pull you back. Demanding a choice: rip your tangled hair from the roots and run free, or stay handcuffed. Dig your feet in and feel the mud between your toes, seeping into the cracks on the soles of your feet. With a deep, ugly, embarrassing scream, grab the branches as they spread across your scalp and break them. Jump side to side over fallen logs and laugh as you feel the wind whip through your hair unevenly. The patches quicken the cold while the gasps of winter run slowly and hauntingly through the mane you have left.
Run. Laugh and cry and let the weeds split your ankles because you deserve it. Feel the textures of God's playground and be mesmerized. You don't need anything. You are free. Run.

b>PREFACE
"SHADHINOTA is My Cause for the 40th Celebration of BANGLADESH Independence. The land, the mighty rivers and the natural beauty makes Bangladesh a land of unparalleled splendor and magnificence. Bangladesh was liberated after a prolonged war of Independence the declaration of which was given on 26th MARCH 1971. One of the worst genocides Genocide in history took place at the behest of an autocratic regime in the name of Political stability spearheaded by the then Pakistan President Yah ya Khan. After 9 months of Liberation water and the sacrifice of 3 million lives Victory came. In addition to the loss of lives countless others were rendered homeless, the infrastructure including roads and bridges and factories lay in ruins. The people of Bangladesh have shown time and again how resilient they are. After each and every disaster, natural or man-made the people have again stood up and started all over again from scratch.
My Effort here is to pay tribute to the valiant sons of the soil and the ‘die hard’ attitude of a people who can still smile in the face of adversity however great it may be. I plan to make a collage of images that represent the lives of the people of Bangladesh. I encourage you to upload a photo each day till I have a total of 40 images for the Cause SHADHINOTA in the group Frame BANGLADESH"

Thanks to Kalyan and Selvin for tagging me and to Paavani for reminding me
A little bit of me
1. I love heights, being at places high up. Mountain tops, towers, towers on mountaintops. I love looking at the horizon 360 degrees around. Love to feel the wind and hear its sound.
2. I like standing at seashores, my feet in the water, and stare at the sea for long.
3. Love traveling, want to see every corner of India, and visit all the countries of the world. Like the kind of travel where you wander on foot, meet the locals and listen to their stories about the place.
4. I’m passionate about trekking. Done a lot of forts/forests around my city, done a circuit trek in Uttaranchal, close to the Himalayas. Got a lot more of it to do.
5. Got a great wish to be aboard an aircraft carrier and fly in a Sukhoi. Drive/ ride full speed on Volkswagen's test track.
6. Played a lot of sports in school. Did swimming, basketball, tennis, martial arts. If I had to take up a sport again, it would be tennis.
7. I make miniatures/models, like to explore different materials for making them. Crazy bout stationery. I like traditional toys as well.
8. I often express myself through post-its. Ideas, expressions, thoughts, musings, stress, joy. It all gets penned down as words or drawings.
9. Like reading, tend to read more non-fiction. As a kid, started on encyclopaedias before Enid Blytons
10. Love food, different cuisines. Of the stuff I cook, I think ‘chocolate fudge cake’ is the star.
11. Love music, different genres. Want to learn the piano and the guitar. The last time I sang was in school, for choir. Now, I sometimes sing when I’m riding my bike, alone, happy, head in helmet. No, I don’t sing in the shower.
12. ‘My bike’ in the previous point refers to a no-gears scooterette. Have had it for several years now and is one of my best friends (wanna ride an Enfield one day)
13. I, quite literally, sleep with the camera next to my bed- my 9th floor house faces east and offers an (almost) unobstructed view of sunrise. Although, I don’t necessarily rise before the sun does.
14. Someday I’d like to touch a tiger, stroke its fur. I’d also like to hold a chameleon or a snake in my hand. (I’d prefer the non-venomous kinds though :-P )
15. Childhood dream was to be an astronomer. I’ve never been on a star gazing trip and would really want to go on one. Also want to own a telescope.
16. Some things I’d like to learn/do: hang gliding, mountaineering, horse riding, scrap metal sculpture, stop motion animation, scuba diving (picked few at random, there’s lots)
My first amigurumi: a snail from Happy Berry Crochet’s pattern happyberrycrochet.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/crochet-micro-mi... on her blog.
Great fun, though clearly I have stuff to improve!
1) I’m not finding magic circles easy – I need to practise them.
2) I couldn’t use the 1.45mm hook US size 3 yarn combination recommend in the pattern; I’m not sure if the thread was just too large or I am just not yet skilled enough for a tiny needle. Rowan sienna 4 ply said US size 2-3 on the label but also recommended a 3mm hook, which is what I ended up using.
3) I found working the body tube very fiddly and I think I made mistakes there and added stitches. Whatever I did wrong it is much wider than it should be.

Market Day. Transit day, louage Nefta to Tozeur, then across the salt flats. When I recall the circumstances and small adventures of that day, a musical catalyst in the midst remains a dominant impression; a song that's been heard by at least a third of the world - Chaplin, Valentino range - even though a fraction can understand its lyrics, and was blaring from the street during market day when I made my transit connection.
{Day 11: Gangnam Style/Psy}
{car scheme #1}
I had taken louages all the way here, but this would be a place to splurge on a driver, crossing the Chott el Jerid. Being Market Day, lots of action in Tozeur, there would be quite a few cabs.
So... in a lot of the world, municipal cabs are not supposed to leave the city limits. If they get caught it could be heavy fines. But, if what you'll get paid for long distance transit is equal to or exceeds a months' salary for one trip and you're the driver who can pull it off, yeah, plenty of people are willing to do it.
That wasn't uppermost in my mind when the three women in the backseat smiled as they departed the municipal cab while I inquired about the driver taking me a couple hours away to Douz. My Arabic is horrible. French, not much better. But if you have a calculator or phrase book or numbers to look at, you can figure things out. "Gangnam Style" blasted from one of the store fronts on Tozeur's busy market day.
The driver wanted to make a quick stop at his home to pick up his teenage son on the way. No problem. Nice kid, like to practice a little English. We play the Phrase Book game.
All the activity is *in* town, nobody on the road once you're outside. The driver is real cool, we manage what conversation we can, he's real talkative and pretty soon he and his kid are having a discussion. I'm reminded that the driver may be breaking the law.
I'm in the passenger seat, the kid is in back. He leans up and hatches a plan: if we get pulled over in a municipal cab anywhere outside city limits, the kid will say that I'm his English tutor, that I've haven't been in Tunisia long - which is why my Arabic and French are so awful. That he's showing me around, cultural exchange-like. Well, that last part is true!
Once we crossed the Chott el Jerid, things became a little more dicey. Back streets and asking for directions from locals in order to stay off the main roads. Once we got to the destination, I imagined the driver could say anything on the way back. And he'd have a month's extra salary for one trip.
Anyway, we made it. He pulled over for me to take pictures, his kid was delightful, he played some good music, we had a grand old time.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0&feature=kp
okay, so, now lets go back and take a closer look at the gangnam style video, I'm particularly interested in the set-up to what is basically a three-shot payoff. You can go back further, but I'm trying to locate 2:10, and the introduction of the young woman on the subway.
Since we can agree that this video doesn't, actually, so much as, suggest any of the male protagonist's relationships within the framework of the narrative are consummated, we can laugh a bit at ourselves, at our own comical prudence. But right now, we're concentrating on the section between 2:10 and 2:36. Let's think about how she is introduced, the absurdity of the protagonist's plight, and how these strands ultimately tie into a potentially unexpected resolution. Bear with me.
Yeah, there's a total cornball aspect to the cross-cutting Friday-Night-Videos style for those of you who could tune in NBC off rural VHF, but think about her blown-back-hair shot, the oddly sincere shot of his hover hand over her complicated position, and then the professional nod that its all in good fun and there's no reason to believe sex was involved because we're all dancing in a humorous and non-threatening way.
Of course in the second half of the video she supplants him as the dominant visual force.
Her name is Hyuna.
I have several problems shooting with Kasey - namely 1) I don't do it enough, and 2) once I shoot with her I have a very hard time picking a reasonable number of photos to process and post. In technical terms, Kasey is an absolute gem, jewel, class act, knockout, and a blast to shoot with, and that is my unbiased opinion! We did this shoot on a very windy day - it nearly blew me over several times. Kasey is such a great model and took everything in stride - and being a hopeless romantic shooting with a hopeless photographer we fulfulled one of her fantasies - dancing on the beach! She also wanted to trash a dress and we did a great job of that too! What a fun shoot and I really look forward to the next one. Kasey - thanks again - you are simply awesome and amazing!
