In addition to being the nation's first wildlife refuge, Lake Merritt is at the ecotone between uptown and downtown Oakland. The glass building is the Cathedral of Christ the Light.
In addition to its French colonial roots, the city of Montréal attracts many people from the french speaking part of the world. This bar is the meeting point of the french expats living in New France. During the World Cup it is filled with supporters of Les Bleus and the atmosphere is absolutely electric when the likes of Mbappé touch the ball.
Another beautiful addtion to the PU/Leather section of my wardrobe.
Not only is this skirt my favourite length, but it also has a lovely flare to it.

My wife and I recently toured the University of Washington mainly to see the cherry blossoms. If you would like to read more about our visit and see more photos, check out my post Cherry Blossoms Beckon to the University of Washington at my blog Batteredsuitcase.net
Anemone hupehensis var. japonica (Japanese anemone). Taken with an inexpensive Pentax-M SMC 2.8/100 @2.8.
The latest additions including 2 for a new sister company, Payne Travel. The fleet theme here is orange.
Mid Fox has taken an N-reg low floor Dart (which is interesting as Payne Travel has an N-reg Dart but which is step entrance.)
A Scania Omnicity from Southamton for a new Uni contract after the previous operator went bust.
An Enviro400, which is the newest vehicle in the fleet (Hooray for that)
A Megabus Leyland Olympian for School work.
Faith thought some beach images would make a perfect addition to her portfolio, so we cooked up the rather ambitious plan to do a sunrise shoot at the Tybee Island pier.
I used The Photographer's Ephemeris web app to calculate the precise time of sunrise so that I could be set up and ready to go well ahead of that time. With Faith running late we only had about 3 minutes to test my lighting setup before the sun peaked over the horizon. Unfortunately, I didn't get any great pictures until the sun was already a little ways up in the sky, but this was at least close.
The biggest problem with this shoot was the wind. I expected the wind to be constant but relatively gentle, which it was not. It was blowing about 15-20mph throughout the entire shoot. Had it been less windy, I would have had a much larger selection of modifiers at my disposal. However, my least sail-like modifier - the Mola Demi - became my only feasible option (aside from a bare flash).
strobist: 1 White Lightning x3200, camera left, diffused by a Mola Demi beauty dish with opal and PAD reflector gelled with a 1/4 CTS gel. 1 Canon 580EX, camera right, bare, 1/4 CTO gelled. Both monolight and flash triggered via Cybersyncs. Monolight powered via Vagabond II. Setup shot here.

A welcomed re-addition to mi familia of Canon camera's.
Originally purchased back in 1988, was lent to a friend and lost contact. Reunited by chance and was returned to me in pristine condition. Excited to put a roll of film and get some pics.
Pre dawn at the newly opened Barangaroo Pavilion in Sydney. Always great to see new architecture being built in my city. Shot on Gadigal country.

this should at least double our indoor seating capacity.
In addition to lot of the trees in Gardens of Václav Skalník being quite unique, few of them are so old, there is high chance that they may very well actually remember their founder. As that was 200 years ago, nobody really knows for sure anymore, but the age of the trees can be today found out very precisely and it is in some cases quite possible. I unfortunately did not have enough time to actually find out which of them are supposed to be this old. Maybe next time.
A recent addition to the fleet is this smart looking 46 with domino headcodes.
I took the opportunity to pipe it up recently. Im not sure whether Im going to keep it clean or dirty it up....
I might wait until I get it sound chipped to decide.... :)
This is my latest 1/400 addition, ordered last year but finally arrived this morning. It was well worth the wait! Superb model. Photo taken on my phone.

The latest addition to The Big Lemon fleet Scania K113 Vanhool PIL 4724. This coach was acquired from Our Bus in Norfolk and went straight to the paintshop. It will revert back to its original registration J234 XKY shortly. This now makes a total of 5 coaches in the lemon fleet.
After a long stint in my camera cupboard it was time to say farewell to my Fuji GX680II. It is a lovely camera and maybe I didn't use it enough to bond properly.
Recently I have really enjoyed shooting a lot of street scenes with my Ricoh GRV. But I have yearned for a film camera to street with. The obvious solution was a Ricoh GR1v which is 35mm film. Aside from the high cost these have a reputation for being temperamental and when they die, that's it! Not being made of money that was out. Then I considered the Contax T2 and Rollei 35S.
While I was deciding, a friend of mine suggested I watch the 'Finding Vivian Maier' documentary. That got me thinking about medium format for street and had me reminising over my long lost Rolleicord Vb. A look on flickr groups had me wanting a Rolleiflex 2.8 Planar, but I soon realised that I could not afford one.
After some research I turned up the 6000 series and the SLX. That brings me to this SLX II with 80mm 2.8 Planar. I have the glass I wanted and I still have two kidneys! I will be putting effort into bonding with this machine over the coming months and hopefully making some nice photos with it. Will this prove to be the street machine I yearn for??
I visited Friday the opening of the exhibition « Affichons nos couleurs » (Let's show our colors) in the library of the borough of St-Leonard, in the north-east of Montreal. While I planned to visit a modest exhibition of amateur photographers, I ended up at a community party organized by the Regroupement Interculturel de St-Léonard (Intercultural Association of St-Leonard / RISL).
In addition to the photographs, there were ladies who painted, some others making decorative objects and a large buffet. A family audience was gathered for the occasion, all generations together.
As I watched the photos and talked to the photographers who were present, the RISL coordinator, master of ceremonies for the evening, stepped to the microphone for a presentation. He then announced a performance of the duo Haka Dancers formed by Glenn and Eliane. They had, he told the audiance, offered a highly appreciated performance the year before.
Haka dance is of Maori tradition. It features warrior postures, much foot stomping, extended arms, grimaces with well-drawn tongues and large bulging eyes. St-Leonard is today a very multicultural district, but Haka dance is still something unexpected here.
After their performance, they made themselves available to those who wanted to be photographed with them, or just take a picture of them. I obviously could not miss this opportunity. I was able to chat with them for a moment and learn that Glenn lives in Toronto and comes to Montreal once a week to teach haka classes.
He told me that he sees his students as his family. He was returning from a recent trip to New Zealand, the country of his ancestors. Eliane lives in the suburbs of Montreal and is passionate about this dance.
I thank them for their performance once again well appreciated and have taken the pose for this portrait.
Je me suis rendu vendredi au vernissage de l’exposition « Affichons nos couleurs » à la bibliothèque de l’arrondissement St-Léonard, dans le nord-est de Montréal. Alors que je prévoyais visiter une modeste exposition de photographes amateurs, je me suis plutôt retrouvé à une soirée communautaire organisée par le Regroupement Interculturel de St-Léonard (RISL).
En plus des photographies, il y avait des dames qui faisaient de la peinture, d’autres des objets décoratifs et un grand buffet. Un public familial était rassemblé pour l’occasion, toutes générations confondues.
Pendant que j’observais les photos et discutait avec les photographes qui étaient présents, le coordonnateur du RISL, maitre de cérémonie de la soirée, c’est présenté au micro pour faire une présentation. Il a alors annoncé une performance du duo de Haka Dancers formé de Glenn et Éliane. Celui-ci avait, selon ses dires, offert une performance fort appréciée l’année précédant.
La danse Haka est de tradition Maori. Elle comporte des postures guerrières, de nombreux frappement de pied, des bras étendus, des grimaces avec des langues bien tirées et des grands yeux exorbités. St-Léonard est aujourd’hui un arrondissement très multiculturel mais de la danse haka y demeure quelque chose d’imprévu.
Après leur performance, ils se sont rendus disponibles pour ceux qui souhaitaient se faire photographier avec eux, ou, simplement les prendre en photo. Je ne pouvais évidemment pas manquer cette opportunité. J’ai pu causer avec eux un instant et apprendre que Glenn vit à Toronto et vient à Montréal une fois par semaine pour donner des cours de haka.
Il m’a dit qu’il considère ces étudiants comme sa famille. Il revenait d’un voyage récent en Nouvelle-Zélande, pays de ces ancêtres. Éliane pour sa part habite la banlieue de Montréal et se passionne pour cette danse.
Je les remercie pour leur performance de nouveau bien appréciée et d’avoir pris la pose pour ce portrait.

Twelve dolls joined my collection in 2022, but only ten of them remain. Most dolls that I added were from the Integrity Toys 2021 Obsession Convention Collection. Only two of my new dolls came directly from IT, two were purchased from a friend who obtained a convention ticket, three were received via trade with friends, and the rest were purchased from an ongoing, local estate sale.
The dolls at the bottom left of the collage, Jazz Baby Barbies and Diamond Dusted Veronique, are no longer in my collection. The Barbies left their outfits behind but have moved on to a friend. Veronique’s neck disintegrated when I removed her head from her old, discolored body. Like the Barbies, I kept her clothing and gave the doll’s head to a friend. I almost didn’t add them to the collage but did anyway.
I am mentioning that dolls left my collection because I am trying to be accountable to myself. My display shelves are not crowded but they are full. I also have dolls that are still in their boxes, so I am trying to carefully consider a doll before I add it. As well, some of the dolls that are always in the back row of the shelves are under consideration for departure.

Why is alcohol so popular? Why is this drug culturally so positively perceived, despite all the problems and deaths it is responsible for?
A first explanation lies probably in the short-term effects of such beverage. Alcohol increases self-confidence, sociability, and decreases anxiety: it is easy to temporarily feel like being a better person, which is always good for ego. As a consequence, under such influence, people tend to try things they usually wouldn't: attempt physically dangerous things even though you are usually afraid of them, go talk to that beautiful lonely woman even though you are usually too shy for that, use bad language even though you are usually very polite, etc. After all, it is very natural to aspire becoming a better person.
Of course, those effects are a lie, just an illusion. Most people are aware of that, but keep drinking anyway, be it occasionally or regularly. Just an illusion, but a strong one. This is where things can easily get pretty bad. In addition of the previously mentioned effects, one could also quote delayed reactions, impaired senses, dizziness, vomiting, decreased heart rate, impaired memory, unconsciousness. These ones unfortunately lead to accidents, injuries, or even direct and violent deaths. Moreover, everyone also knows about alcohol addiction. This drug is quite powerful, and getting rid of it once it managed to intoxicate your life is extremely hard. Keep in mind that in western countries, about 10% of the population had or has some serious alcohol dependance problem. An incredibly huge ratio.
In that creation, I tried to illustrate what kind of lying beast is alcohol. I symbolized it using those eyeballs and the giant tongue, which becomes a smiling woman, looking much better than the thing itself, designed trap its victims efficiently. The man doesn't seem to realize what is really happening, and his life is slowly being flushed in a vortex, including his own body, his money, his family and friends. You can see that I represented those with their heads covered: too often, relatives choose to look away, and let the person sink.
Technically, it is composed of 39 photos I took:
- 3 shots for the sky
- 1 shot for the man
- 1 shot for the woman
- 2 shots for the vortex
- 6 shots for the eyes
- 1 shot for the wine
- 1 shot for the giant glass
- 1 shot for the big cork the man is lying on
- 3 shots for the money
- 2 shots for the wine spills
- 1 shot for the plank
- 6 shots for the little characters
- 4 shots for the bottles
- 3 shots for the thong
- 2 shots for the decomposing leg
- 2 shots for the detached foot
Thanks for watching!
This is the new addition, Isabella... Bella for short.
She is a lover of the white stuff. It's hard to get her to come inside. However, her love of treats outweighs her love of snow!
Max says... (this is his dog that he received for Christmas)
"Bella is very loveable. She also loves to nibble my nose. She is a great dog to take on walks. Today I was taking her on a walk, and I slid on the ice and she started licking me like nothing else. I really wanted her to lick my knee though. It hurt. I got back up, and we walked some more, and then we found some cool stuff and found a box. Bella led me to it, so I flipped it over. I looked inside and she started sniffing it. There was nothing in it. So, we started back home. Then we ran into a cat. I had to pull really hard to get her away from the cat. Then we continued to the house, and went into my snowfort. But we were cold, so we went in the house to warm up."
The End.
Yes, this is one of the reason why I've been so busy and taking up most of my brain power lately! We still have a few more months to go, and I'm sure she (or more like me) can't wait to do a portrait session to greet all of you guys in here! ;-)
P.S. First we had an earth quark earlier this week, and now we are facing a bad hurricane coming our way over the weekend! I hope all of you East coasters here in the states will have a safe weekend!!

Proof of concept….
New additions to the Stagecoach West Scotland fleet include this vehicle, 29301 (SJ21NFD), one of six similar buses supplied to electrify service one between Kilmarnock and Priestland. They’ve arrived in this green and yellow version of the new Stagecoach livery, which acknowledges the financial contribution made by SP Energy Networks to the purchase of these vehicles.
You may wonder why these buses rather than say Enviro 200EVs from Stagecoach’s historically preferred supplier, Alexander Dennis. Well there’s a reason behind it. The route itself is a relatively rural and intensive route and a full day’s work would be a longer distance than the bus could manage by simply charging it at the depot overnight. So a new approach was necessary.
At present, most electric buses tend to be used on city and town services, in areas of high pollution. Electric buses are fine in this sort of environment as they don’t have to go that far overall over less challenging terrain given their range isn’t as good as a conventional diesel bus, just as an electric car/van’s range isn’t as good as their petrol and diesel equivalent, although obviously the range of electric vehicles is getting better. However most rural routes are longer still over more demanding terrain so these Volvos get around that by getting a ‘top-up’ charge at Kilmarnock Bus Station. The buses are still plugged in every night at the depot but when they get to the bus station on the service they extend a pantograph on the bus roof to a charging facility in the bus station roof. This then gives the bus an extra power boost, allowing them to complete a full duty.
It’s a clever system and the service is timetabled to give the bus around a ten minute charge on each visit to the bus station. It’s something that bus operators will have to consider for certain services in the mad rush to electrification. The Volvos were chosen as they featured this pantograph but it’s a feature other manufacturers are now adding and a batch of ADL/BYD Enviro 400EVs for Arriva London also feature a pantograph for additional charging.
Boba Fett fig: added the little details on the gloves and those little markings on the helmet.
Darth Vader: Changed the saber hilt to a black one because i read somewhere that Vaders lightsaber is supposed to be a dark reflection of his old one.
Deathtrooper: I made the collar harness out paper and just painted it. The blaster is a normal lego blaster just the scope cut off.
In addition to Christo's Flash that I've acquired, I also managed to snag myself his own design of one, Eobard Thawne (aka Reverse Flash, aka Professor Zoom) and just like Flash, is an incredible minifig!
I'm still working on ideas for ideas with Thawne (kind of a lame concept, as far as this image goes), but I have another edit from the same set; so in otherwords, we can call this one preliminary for what is to come.

I believe the commercial addition is being used as a residence now, if the May 2012 Google Streetview photo is any indication.
