====Arkham City====
I'm still getting used to the prosthetics Mr Wayne gave me. While I can touch again, I've lost my sight once more. Blind in a world of monsters. What I can't see I can hear- crazed laughter, high pitched screams, it's horrible. I think I heard the flapping of wings and the low pitched screech of the Devil himself. I don't know what happened to Chuck, or to the other people. All I can do for them now is pray that they're all ok. But in the meantime I need somewhere to stay. Somewhere to hide and get my bearings. It's been years, but this street feels familiar, if I can just- Yes! If I'm right, there's a church nearby. Hopefully I can find others there. The mad dash through the streets is a long one. A sense of dread hangs over me. It must be God's work that saved me, and brought me to sanctuary. At last. The candles smell as sweet as I remembered. A fire rises, filling the room with warmth as I settle in a nearby pew. I'm not alone. There are people like me, even here. The priest delivers his sermon and I listen intently.
Priest- -I am pleased to see so many new faces among you all. Though this world is dark my children, I assure you, so long as you stay here, remain true to yourselves and believe in the Lord's work, you will be safe from His wrath. And safe from those animals. I think perhaps, it is time for a Hymn. Turn to page-
*And the service continued. Despite everything, I know that together- these people and I, will survive. An hour later, I make my way to the reverend. To talk. To confess*
Ten- Father, I just wanted to thank you, for continuing His work, even in a place such as Arkham
Priest- Think nothing of it my child. In this world of Sinners it is my sworn duty to protect those who may be threatened by the animals and non believers outside these doors
Ten- I'm just overjoyed to see a volunteer, someone who came here in spite of the risks to themselves.
Priest- A volunteer, yes. My followers and I had to see this place for ourselves. It is no place to live. Please, sit. What's your name son?
Ten- It... depends. I was born as Philip Reardon, but after my accident-
*I gesture to my goggles. I don't know what it is, but I feel comfortable sitting next to this man, more comfortable than I've been in a long time. His presence is soothing. Reassuring*
Ten- They call me Ten now. The Ten-Eyed Man
Priest- I see. I want you to know child, that your injuries are not something to be ashamed of. You should be proud, these scars show dedication! Loyalty! Are you not proud?
Ten- *sighs* If only. I damaged my eyes in war, that I can live with, it happens. My hands... I lost my hands because I was weak.
Priest- Philip Reardon you said? You were in Blackgate Prison, were you not?
Ten- I was, Father. You see, I wasn't blinded in Iraq, not completely. It was not until I was caught between the Batman and a couple of would-be robbers that I lost my sight completely... I blamed him for what happened, I'm ashamed to admit.
Priest- Batman.
*There's a sense of disapproval in his voice. Of resentment perhaps*
Priest- You know, criminals aren't the only people trapped here. Dozens of the City's homeless were trapped here also, all because housing is too difficult for the almighty United States government. Where was the Batman then?
*He sighs*
Priest- Now, your hands, the work of a Harry Simms no? He never did receive justice did he? Did you ever think about if you had-
*I shake my head*
Ten- No, I was wounded, near dead, I could not, and even if I *were* able to, an eye for an eye...
Priest- - makes the whole world blind. You have spirit Ten-Eyed one, and I have a mission. Will you help me in my crusade?
...
Ten- Apologies father, but I never asked. What's your name?
Priest- It's Joseph, child. Joseph Blackfire.
Today and yesterday were 2 pretty weird days. Yesterday I went to a man in Haarlem to pick up some old camera's, and I got 13 film camera's (including this Lubitel) !!
Most of them are still working :)
Today was even more weird. I was taking photo's of the camera's I got yesterday, and then, my camera broke. I have to wait 4-6 weeks to get it back....
Estate sale find. I absolutely adore these. Early 80's, I think.
They are pretty small. Approx. 6" tall.
Probably cost me about 25 cents, as they were part of a very cheap large bundle of goodies.
Chengdu, China.
People race home in the rain after work, looking like colourful flowers flying through the streets.

Saint Paul's Episcopal Church - Key West, FL
Duval Street - The Florida Keys - 11/26/21
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - stained-glass windows]
Duval Street is two miles long (traveling east to west) on this two-by-four mile-wide island, the furthest 'point-south' in the continental United States. You can dip your toes in the Gulf of Mexico, walk to the other end of Duval Street, and dip them in the Atlantic Ocean
all in an hour's time. St. Paul's Episcopal Church is the main focal-point right here in the middle of town. All along the way are shops and restaurants and that easy laid-back Key West Florida lifestyle.
Saint Paul's Episcopal Church:
The first service in the current building was on June 8, 1919. During this period many of the stained glass windows were ordered and installation began in 1920. The organ arrived in 1931, in time for the Christmas services. A major restoration of the church was begun in 1991 to save the building from collapse. The concrete used in the construction had been mixed with sea water and beach sand, which caused the steel reinforcing within the walls to rust and expand. This in turn caused many of the walls and columns to split. Work was completed in 1993 at a cost of nearly one million dollars. Today the church continues to stand as a beacon within the diverse cultural community of Key West . The church is open daily for prayer, meditation and visiting. Many concerts and other community events take place here and St. Paul’s plays a positive role in the community, artistically and spiritually. A magnificent church. Come and visit it.

{ Gratitude Day 2 : Memories }
Halloween is a fun time for many kids. Who doesn't want to dress up as whoever or whatever they would like? Many of us still dress up as adults! That said, I am thankful for the Halloween memories I made as a child -- that will last a lifetime. Now I get to live vicariously through my daughter!
PS- Aside from the tone shift to give this a *little* more warmth, this image is SOOC :)

This was my first maternity session, and we had so much fun! It was a first for all of us :) so we had to work through the first few minutes of being unsure, but as soon as we started discussing the new baby-to-be it was just fun and laughs and relaxed.

Another photo of Emily, who is still available for adoption at Woods Humane Society in San Luis Obispo, where I volunteer. My first attempt using the new Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.

A variation on the Lizard. This time with a longer tail and shorter body.
A much better looking animal, and a much less elegant CP.

#2 The only thing that really remains are the memories of a thriving business. The dilapidated structures are just an annoying thorn in the surroundings...

Fujifilm GSW680III + Fujifilm Neopan Acros II 100/120 BW
Finally! Got the shelves adjusted and the basics set up - furniture, stairs, etc... Now moving on to details (pictures on the walls, decor...). Top shelf - entrance, table for guests and counter (counter is still in progress!). Middle shelf - more sitting for guests. Bottom shelf - kitchen - also still in progress. I plan to make a long table for baking/cooking where the chest of drawers is sitting right now. Also, need to build entrance door for the top of the stairs.
But so far so good... A bit cramped, but with 1:4 scale it's hard to make a large display with limited space.
