Day 39. Reminiscing.
A bit more classic portrait today. Do kinda like my hair on this one, I got rid of my curls for one day. =)

This is from my shoot this past Friday with Tanesha, so much fun to work with, and such a great model. She made my life so easy behind the camera...more to come.

Reprocessed and replaced in September 2024.
This mural is on the side of an upper floor of a building. I assume it was painted from the roof of the lower building next to it. I think it’s pretty - but a shame it isn’t in a more prominent place, as it’s easy to walk past without noticing it.
Paneling on the middle section is now mostly complete, though am short a few CMF stands. Still need to do some detailing, as well as some interior, but the outer shell is pretty much complete. On to the rear section!

...♫ Marta tiene 23 años y está estudiando
Y a su corta edad tiene apartamento en Condado
Ella no sale con hombres, ni acepta regalos
Y todo por la culpa del maldito Carlos
Marta viene arrastrando la desilución
De que el hombre que amo, la dejó y se marchó…
El mismo día de su boda
Nilda tiene la misma edad y es un poco más loca
Le gusta usar pelo corto, y ropa de hombre a la moda
Nilda viene arrastrando la desilución
De que papá la tocó donde no se debía…
Y marcó su vida
Y así viven dos mujeres gritandole al cielo
Y diciendo su amor será eterno…
Aunque la sociedad margine
Un amor de muñecas de porcelana
Dos mujeres que son una
Son una en dos.
Son cuatro senos que se aman en la misma cama
Un amor que es prohibido, pero en fin es amor
Y caminan de mano a la universidad
¿Qué dira papá si se llega a enterar?
De que su doncella ya no quiere más
Volverse a enamorar de ningún patán
Y que ahora solo se quiere besar
Con su amiga, con quién jugo a las muñecas
Con quién jugo a las muñecas
¿Y qué dira mamá si nunca la escuchó?
Es más fuerte el dolor, cuando papá lo hizó
No hay quién halle pecado en esta relación
Pues el sufrimiento ya las redimió
No hay sonrisa visible en tanta oscuridad
No se puede hablar de amor sin tener felicidad
No hay razón alguna para maltratar
A quién te dio su amor, sin poner medidas
Dos amigas…
Que juegan a las muñecas
Que juegan a las muñecas
Que juegan a las muñecas ♫...
Muñecas de Porcelana - Don Omar
Almost 39 weeks now.
We went to our first ante-natal class about a month ago and never came back.. I was okay with it but Niki was appalled by the matter of fact approach and how we were constantly reminded of pain and tearing and all the things that can go wrong… We felt if things do go wrong, we will trust ourselves to doctors who are there to give us the best treatment. We certainly do not want to be shocked into it.
So, we took up an alternative approach called Calmbirth. In the US, I believe it is called Hypnobirth. I came into the class expecting Niki to be hypnotised into a pain-free birth. However, the classes were very educational in explaining how the body behaves through labour and how the mother can calmly do controlled breathing to managed the discomfort (note: the word pain should never be used, when you are asked how painful, you will focus on the pain..).
Well, we’ll see how this approach goes soon I guess. For Niki, this is a more acceptable approach to labour and I believe a more encouraging one.
As for me:
I have been in hibernation for a little while now and obviously have not done much photography. The last several months of change - moving cities, changing jobs and preparing our household for a new member.. preparing to be a family for the first time.. Well, I hope you can understand photography is slipping to the side for a bit. I hope to rectify that now we've settled down in our little town on the border of Melbourne - this is quite a beautiful place and there are so many opportunity for beautiful photography here. Plus.. there's going to be plenty of baby photos coming up.. Still, I may squeeze in the odd artistic nude photography when I get the time to.
"En cada hogar debiera haber un termómetro clínico. La temperatura es el resultado del equilibrio entre el calor producido y el perdido por el organismo.
Sabemos que el calor se produce por la combustión de los alimentos en las células de nuestro cuerpo, y la mayor temperatura no es en sí una enfermedad, sino un síntoma de que algo no marcha bien. Es en otras palabras un aliado del hombre, pues por su medio se defiende el organismo.
Antes de usar el termómetro, debemos tomar del extremo opuesto a la ampolla de mercurio y agitarlo con violencia (mucha violencia) hasta que la columna del mercurio haya descendido a 34 o 35 grados C.
En la práctica común se toma siempre en la axila:
1- Con una toalla o algodón absorbente secamos la transpiración de la axila.
2- Se coloca la ampolla de mercurio en el centro de la axila, se indica al enfermo que baje el brazo contra el cuerpo, de modo que no quede espacio abierto que refrigere el mercurio. Cuídese que la ampolla de mercurio no esté en contacto con la ropa.
3-Después de 5 a 6 minutos, se retira el termómetro tomándolo por el extremo sin mercurio, y se lee la temperatura, tarea que con un poco de práctica, pronto se aprende".

We had a beautiful walk around Derwent Water today. We'd planned to walk right round the lake if possible, but knew it would probably be pretty flooded at the far end - it was, so we took a detour off up to Ashness Bridge instead, and ate lunch at a high viewpoint there - then doubled back on ourselves. We had loads of rain and hail, but a few breaks in the weather, too - and we were well prepared for all the sogginess. It was still incredibly beautiful, regardless of the weather.
I had a bath this afternoon and Tim popped out to get a few bits of shopping - then he cooked us meatballs and pasta for dinner. Delicious! We are both absolutely knackered, but in a good way, and now settling down to watch the new X-Files. So relaxed! :)
One project the The Royal Photographic Society, London Region, is undertaking involves the production of a photobook entitled "Urbanicity 2".
Members are encouraged to develop their own theme to build a portfolio for consideration for inclusion in the book.
For my theme I set out to capture the interaction of individuals with their environment; and indeed the environment interacting with individuals in the community. Whether the connection be humour, street art, the clothing worn, daily activities, facial expressions or just anticipating what individuals were thinking.
German Feldwebel (Sergeant) Panzer Crewman passing an 8,8cm Panzergranate 39 through the escape hatch of a Tiger. (Eastern Front, date unknown)
The 'Panzergranate 39' was one of the most common German armor-piercing rounds of World War 2. The round is an "APCBC-HE-T" (Armor-Piercing-Capped Ballistic-Cap, High Explosive, Tracer) design meaning it had a ballistic-cap tip to improve aerodynamics, hardened-steel projectile with a soft iron cap to help with sloped armour penetration, a small explosive charge and a tracer fuse in the base. The round had a muzzle velocity of 780 metres per second and was capable of penetrating up to 110mm of armour at 1000 metres. "FES" rounds were introduced from 1943 on wards, these rounds had the 'driving bands' made of "Feuereisensinter" (FES) or 'sintered iron' instead of copper due to resource shortages. The driving bands provide the tight seal of the projectile within the barrel rifling, switching to steel bands increased the wear of the gun barrels and required barrels to be changed more often.

The Renault R-39 was a light tank built in 1939, in fact it was a modernized version of the Renault R-35. Unlike its predecessor it featured a tail to cross trenches, an improved suspension and a better canon which made anti tank missions possible for the tank despite the fact that it was used as an infantry support tank (with high explosive shells instead of armor piercing ones).
The tank proved to be efficient fighting panzers in Belgium during the battle of Hannut but it engine was weak and the suspensions were very fragile which led to a lot of mechanical failures during the battle of France.
I changed a few things, first I put a camo on it: a basic french partial 3 tons camo.
I modified the canon to make it longer (a simple barrel piece). And I put some decals on it to give it a cool look. Like Bm model it features an interior
I have a lot of personnal models coming but since it's christmas time deliveries are looong but it's coming soon :)
I'll also post an FCM 36 heavily inspired out of Brickmania one soon !
