After a morning of exploring Osaka, I treated myself to this amazing set, flavorful fried rice, juicy karaage, and steaming miso soup, all at a surprisingly affordable price. Osaka truly proves why it’s one of Japan’s best cities for ramen and comfort food.
For those of you who have always wanted a Jaguar, but just didn’t have the money, now is your chance. This one is almost like new. Of course, if you want it to run you may have to put some money into it.
Just parking it in your yard would be a status symbol though. We could tow it over to you for a nominal amount.
No co-pays and no pesky deductibles at this health facility. Of course you won't find any doctors or nurses here either. Just the quiet mood of abandonment.
Happy Fence Friday everyone. More of a railing than a fence, but it's what I got.

I haven't been capturing too many birds of late, due to all the wonderful macro opportunities the flowers afford :)

Set out to shoot some snow, got dooped by a rise in temps and a subsequent change to rain. Same spot, but improvised on my idea. Also decided to go with the same treatment I've been giving my oddball series. Hope you enjoy.
...although not much room inside. These colourful beach huts come out every spring along the promenade at Paignton and make a great subject for a panoramic crop.

G.A.Y.S.E.R.: Gay Antimatter Ytterbium* via Stimulated Emission of Radiation
After years of research and isolation I am excited to announce I have discovered a reliable and affordable method for turning antimatter gay! It is stable enough to withstand firing it even at extremely high velocities. It doesn't really harm anything though**
*= Ytterbium not included
**= Side effects may include immediate and permanent loss of heteronormativity and heterosexuality.
*** = FN not responsible for side effects. FN isn't responsible in general, really.
Includes full perm projectiles and textures!
Too bad, most of the American West is unaffordable now.

Affordable performance combined with simple mechanicals helped the Datsun 510 remain a popular automotive enthusiast's car for many years after its discontinuation.

Many images in this set were taken inside Forest Lawn Memorial Park's (California, USA) Great Mausoleum.
The general public is not allowed to enjoy these and many other works of art in the Great Mausoleum. Entry is granted only to those able to afford the high price of admission and their living family members.
Why?
I turned the door handle of the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California, USA and as the heavy door opened, I entered another world.
The massive, cathedral-like structure houses not only the remains of thousands able to afford the lofty ticket price for admission, it houses beautiful works of art. Sculptures, stained glass windows and ceilings, elegant marble throughout and massive architecture...all are off limits to the general public.
I didn't know at the time I turned that door knob, that Forest Lawn is consumed about keeping this structure and its contents strictly away from public view. I was simply a guy trying to take photos I like who quickly realized the challenges posed in this setting. I was simply on quest that began at the cemetery where my Mom and brother were buried almost twenty years ago.
One can attend a viewing of a stained glass window, The Last Supper, but, I've since returned (hoping to share with my family the splendor within) asking to enter the mausoleum. We were turned away. Forest Lawn's policy strictly prohibits entry to the general public.
Why? One would think that Forest Lawn (and its founder Mr. Eaton and its longtime and current President and CEO, John Llewellyn, would want to share with the wider world, the beauty contained within given the frequent ugliness which hits us in daily life...providing a form of comfort which is their business.
Forest Lawn loves attention but only on their terms. It thrives being known as the Disneyland of death services (and I mean that in the most respectful way ...after all, Walt Disney himself chose Forest Lawn) and hundreds of the famous and infamous call Forest Lawn home.
It is obvious Forest Lawn takes its mission seriously and provides a needed service exhibiting the highest levels of excellence from its impeccable grounds, to fine facilities and attentive staff.
Forest Lawn's theatrical stagings for adults and school children, its public art, museum and grounds filled with celebrities and movers and shakers, convey a seemingly mixed message when it comes to excluding the public from the massive amounts of great art held within the Great Mausoleum.
Why the exclusion? Staffing its maze of halls isn't a concern; staff members are everywhere throughout the park. Security? Sure it's in a bad neighborhood. But, as I wandered unknowingly in this remarkable place from which I was supposed to be excluded, I never saw graffiti...even in the restroom.
In fact, I never saw another soul (sorry, no pun intended). And, that, to me, is sad.
As I wandered, I was challenged by low light, by my impulse to rush my hand held shots since I had a vague gut feeling I was alone, but not; that someone was about to find me taking photos in a place where I was the forbidden invader...the only one...alive...appreciating fine art. Certainly, those entombed can not enjoy it.
Mr. Llewellyn, please open the doors to the Great Mausoleum for the public and the profound and positive impact its will have on us.
Mr. Llewellyn, I extend this offer:
if you have looked at my photos and they have spoken to you, please contact me. I will offer my photographic services to Forest Lawn to use in ways upon which we can agree.
The possibilities are limitless:
I can photographically catalog all of Forest Lawn's art at all its properties; the images could be published in many forms...books, dvd sets, and more; guided tours; respectful events built around the art and the images; museum exhibits.
Again, the possibilities are limitless and all can be accomplished in good taste equal to your mission statement and still be respectful of your residents and their families and, serve to educate and benefit the larger public.
Thank you,

A BIT OF BACKGROUND:
Many years ago after burying my mother and brother within days of the other, I was wandering their cemetery pondering and was intrigued by the statues I saw.
I was taken by the artist's talent in being able to capture the female form (since that was all the cemetery had). The sculptor's manipulation of the viewer's perceptions...cloth and how it draped, creating muscle tone, emotions displayed in facial expressions, all created from stone, piqued my interest.
I began an informal quest to research and find as many sculptures and to photograph them which overwhelmingly depicted the female nude (or partially so) in the cemetery/memorial setting.
As my cemetery visits grew, I began to realize that many of the sculptures seemingly evoked a sensuality in this form of memorial art.
Here, then, is my photos...a project in evolution...the female form as portrayed in an often sensual manner in memorial art.
We found a small bay called Low Newton-by-the-sea which leads onto the much more photographed Embleton bay where we had been previously.
At Embleton bay you can walk along to Dunstanburgh Castle which affords you great views of the castle from what are commonly know amongst photographers as the death rocks, ankle breakers, however more from that spot in another post.
At low Newton- by- the sea it`s a lovely long walk along the beach beside Maram grass filled sand dunes all the time with Dunstanburgh castle in your sights for many different compositions, We were lucky with the weather which gave us a great sky just before the rains came.

The Oystercatcher
The Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.
Directly across the street where Jacks Chicken Basket Jazz Club was, is Fernando's Bar with cold beer. Fernando's is one of many of the colorful Latin themed painted building in this changed section of South L.A.! Where late night establishments herald in Jazz from the late 20's until the mid 50's. ! Years after the 1992 Rodney King riots in this neighborhood, many Mexican and other Latin decent families moved into the area due to the affordable housing cost, then the change began. The previous shots and this scene of Fernando's Bar represents a big part of South Los Angeles today!
USA, Chicago, IL, July 28, 2011. A long-time advocate for affordable health care for low income families, Senator Donne Trotter has been instrumental in including programs such as FamilyCare in a shrinking Illinois budget. The popular touch of state policymakers like Senator Trotter, who has served Chicago's 17th District for more that 20 years, is essential to communicating to the public the impending benefits of President Obama's 2010 Affordable Care Act. In association with Representatives Constance Howard and Marlow Colvin, Senator Trotter reaches out through health fairs and block meetings to educate his constituents about upcoming developments in the law that will help keep families healthy.
Hut 3 is in a poor state of repair :(
The codebreaking huts worked in pairs. The decoded messages from Hut 6 were passed to Hut 3 for translation, analysis and dispatch. Between Huts 3 and 6 was a connecting chute, added to speed up the passing of information from one hut to the other.
Hut 3 is perhaps the only hut constructed to be totally independent, should the need have arisen. It has its own boilerhouse and central heating system, the only hut to be afforded this comfort. For the most part, the huts were cramped and spartan, cold and draughty.
As the importance of the huts grew, so did their staffing needs, so that by the end of the war Hut 3, for example, was no longer a single wooden 1939 structure, but a whole range of locations and buildings on the Park. The same is true of the other huts.
Nice view if you can afford it.This location is on the 8th floor with a Sigma 15mm 2.8 fisheye its a very nice lens.
Kalij Pheasant is a striking species with a wide range, extending from the Himalayas southeast to Thailand. There is much variation across this distribution, as well as intergrades with the related Silver Pheasant (L. nycthemera). This photo shows a female with mainly brown plumage, which affords camouflage while nesting. The setting was a hide (blind) near Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi province, Thailand.

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows
What she wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all the presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl

Uptown Girl by Billy Joel is one of my favorite songs and I finally found myself an "uptown girl" to play the part!
Special thank you the talented Manya Tiponi (Self Overload) for modeling and being my perfect "uptown girl!"

Certainly not a unique pose, but I really like this shot -- especially because the bride and groom "got it" when I told them to "almost" kiss, rather than lip or tongue lock ... like so many other couples do. The KEY to getting this photo right is getting them to let me capture the moment BEFORE the kiss as they blissfully close their eyes. You want to capture the "anticipation" of the moment they kiss, rather than the kiss itself. The whole idea is to get the couple to act as if the photographer isn't there. It should seem like it's just THEIR moment ... which just "happens" to be caught on camera. About all I did in post was to add some diffuse glow to the skin tones.
As for lighting, we took this shot within minutes of the sun setting and faced them towards the remaining light in the sky, or as I call it, God's Huge Softbox. You get great soft light and warm skin tones in that light. And you only get that light for about 15 minutes during sunset. BTW, if you do this shot, do it with the bride on the left and the groom on the right. That way you get her ring and his boutonnière.
Oh, and it really helps to have a good looking couple. Especially a bride with a gorgeous neck and chin line. =)
