Actually, these were real pipes, bent somewhat, but not as pronounced as in this image. Also, I imagine they were steel and not lead. I did some photo program bibbity-bobbity boo, with watercolor, SNIC, dark marker, etc.

Actually, it's the same otter. This was rendered with a fountain pen and J. Herbin's gray ink. S/he doesn't look quite so annoyed in this image.

Actually this is less messy than usual, but this is how my workbench looked after a late night torchy session
Actually quite nice walking around Surbiton. Prefer the full blanket of snow to the lethal little patches of ice that lay in wait yesterday.
I actually pulled an all-nighter on this piece. I just wasn’t sleepy but also, I was just getting into putting this thing together. The momentum was rolling and I didn't want to stop.
This mech is made for mid to long range battle, Gatling gun on one arm and a sniper rifle on the other. It uses energy “bullets” so it has cooling systems built around it. The feet look really small in the profile shot and I was debating if I wanted to beef them up but decided not too. It had to be nimble and with clunky feet, it would have a hard time getting footing on craggy surfaces. There are 4 boosters that tuck away facing forward round the body. It can be used to repel close range combatants or help gain some distance from the target. When using the Sniper rifle, the boosters can face the opposite direction and compensate for the kickback the heavy rifle produces.
This was a fun mecha piece, especially since it has been years since I’ve played with my LEGO bricks. I used a laser pointer to illuminate the “eye” in some of the shots. I do have a light brick but I didn’t incorporate it in the design. Many next time in another piece.
“I believe nothing can be more abstract, more unreal, than what we actually see. One can travel this world and see nothing. To achieve understanding it is not necessary to see many things, but to look hard at what you do see.” -- Giorgio Morandi
Actually, I was somewhat surprised by the low light performance of this nearly five year old Fujifilm S700 camera ($140 when purchased new)..
Actually, it's my first flower macro using this 60mm lens. At first I was determined not to just take flower macros like everyone else but I just could'nt help myself in Amsterdam!
Actually we do want to rock the boat. This thing is called a roll exciter. It rocks a boat model side to side, but not fore and aft.
Actually last year it was about 231 so this is not bad, maybe knock off a few more this year? Never noticed how much the scale needs cleaning until I saw this closeup :)
This weekend I have, in an effort to reduce pointless internet time, got round to actually reading one of the many issues of Black and White Photography which have been sat around in their plastic wraps. Yes it is a somewhat a pretentious magazine, however a lot of it reminds me of the type of photography I used to take – more observational than staged.
Which meant that this morning I brought my M100 out with me on the way to work, having thought last week that I should document some of the destruction of the old police station in Lichfield before it disappears for good to be replaced with… Who knows, every plan for the area seems to falter and disappear.
Anyway, minimal structural editing on Snapseed with my B&W preset makes for a positive outcome, in my opinion.
A friend of mine posted this on her Myspace page. Hilarity! I had to post it here because it is just too funny! This is not made by me, and i don't know whose art it is. There is a signature in the lower right, but i can't read it. Damn this picture makes Barack look dreamy, no? ;)

Don't really dial it. Well, you can, but someone I don't know might get really mad at me! This is just my little note of thanks to The Fuzzball. She has ESP and called me yesterday because she could tell I might be feeling a little blue. I was feeling a hair blue and a lot crazy. She actually understands how to speak Messica too. It's a funny fast language that doesn't make sense to most people. I'm lucky to have her as a friend. www.flickr.com/photos/fuzzball/ is where you can find her on flickr.
Actually i liked the way the straw was distorted through the glass
PS It was taken in one of the most amazing and relaxing places in Athens, the "kafeneio" in the National Garden
Actually, this one is one of the survivors. It has changed hands several times, but they're still producing steel here. Not sure how much of the facility they're using, but at least some of it.
Over thinking ruins you. Ruins the situations, twists things around, makes you worry and just makes everything much worse than it actually is.
actually this spider was as long as my finger. internet at Mc.Donalds is slow and i'm very limited on time so i won't have time to comment and fave 'til the next time i'm on. having a blast at camp despite the wet and our kitchen tent is white so it's extra exciting to find bugs in there:) oh, and i'm using the laptop so either my pictures look better or worse due to the differences in screens. let me know:D
I couldn't find okra so I don't even want to count this for my 30 before 30. It was tasty-flavored, though!
... actually a weed - but I decided it would be okay for it to stay in my flowerbed... such a happy tiny flower :o)
... nature taking over my flowerbed ;o)
Actually it's the laundry house on the bay. What a great view they had!
Culzean Castle has 4 miles of coastline.
THE KENNEDY FAMILY is one of Scotland’s oldest families and trace ancestry to Robert the Bruce. Culzean Castle was their principal seat from 1759, the castle and its landscape reflecting their status and aspirations. Over the centuries, the Kennedys transformed a medieval tower house, built to protect its inhabitants during dangerous times, into one of the grandest country houses in Ayrshire.
In the 1770s, the 10th Earl commissioned the famous architect, Robert Adam, to create a house worthy of his political status. The armoury display is the largest collection of its type in existence, apart from Her Majesty the Queen’s at Windsor Castle. In 1812, the flamboyant and ambitious 12th Earl bought the pistols and swords from the Office of Ordnance at the Tower of London. The arms were dispatched from London in twelve chests along with ‘one of the men from the tower with the Arms, who will fix them up in a proper manner’.
The gardens and Home Farm of Culzean provided a huge variety of fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs and poultry and there would have been a plentiful supply of fish, shellfish and game. Two ice houses at Culzean provided ice for cooling drinks, making ice cream, and preserving food.
When the Kennedy family donated the castle to the National Trust for Scotland in 1945 they asked that the top floor be given to General Eisenhower as a thank you from the people of Scotland.
Ike first came to Culzean in 1946 and was clearly touched to accept this gift. He visited the castle three more times, once as President when, for a short while, Culzean was his Scottish White House.
His longest stay was during his retirement when he enjoyed painting and walking in the peace and quiet of Culzean's beautiful gardens, woodland and shore, as well as playing golf nearby.
He wrote of Culzean, "This is a place I can relax." There is a museum honoring General Eisenhower and you can rent the Eisenhower suite if you want to stay there and can afford it.
Actually, Ao lives in Chigasaki, the beach-side town just outside of Yokohama, but that still makes him a peep...
Ao is the lead guitarist and singer for the Japanese psychedelic rock-jam band Dachambo. I wrote about them in the last issue of Koe Magazine. Since discovering them at Fukuoka's Sunset Live 2009, I've been following them and they've been kind enough to let me shoot at their concerts from the stage.
I was really surprised and happy when I discovered this picture. I shot it backstage at Sunset Live, after Ego Wrappin's huge encore on the last night when multiple artists came on stage for a rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." I forgot taking this picture and didn't even realize it was Ao at the time. Months later, after shooting them at several shows, both backstage and on stage, I rediscover this little gem!
