IT HAPPENED SATURDAY IN TORONTO.
On the second day of the Toronto International Film Festival, the documentary film and dive communities joined together for an afternoon unveiling of a huge shark mural on the back wall of the downtown Toronto Opus restaurant near the Royal Ontario Museum.
The mural is of a giant hammerhead shark and a fearless free diver. The 3-story tall painting was just completed earlier this week by two Toronto-based artists Birdo and GETSO and pays homage to the late Rob Stewart, a young Toronto film maker and shark conservationist who drown earlier this year in the Florida Keys while working on his latest documentary.
Stewart's films Sharkwater and Revolution, have a strong message about the need to preserve the creatures of the underwater world. The 37-year old Toronto born diver left behind a legacy of ocean conservation and strong support for the protection of the shark.
"That is Rob in the mural swimming above the shark" explained his mother Sandy Stewart to me at the Saturday afternoon ribbon cutting ceremony. " We thought about having him in a wet suit, because it was cold (when he died diving on a deep water shipwreck). But you wouldn't be able to see much of Rob. No, this is the way he would want to look!"

I'm new to posting retail pics, so go easy on me. Also... There was a sign walking in about the media policy... so I tried to be careful and didn't get as many pics as I wanted.
Hopefully you guys will enjoy these though. This is a 1993 Target, with very little remodeling. Still has the original Color Worlds.. and Original Food Ave Signage. Kinda Cool :)

The store is nearly finished with the remodel, the backwall of grocery still needs work as the drywall is still visible, but other than that the remodel is finished. I will return in October for more pictures of the store when the remodel is fully finished.

Waiting on parts...waiting on parts. I hate waiting for parts when they supposedly were supposed to be delivered days ago. Just a little fun in LDD. Combined Legohaulic and Ewoks Schwimmwagen. Can seat 2 now, can't get it to work in LDD though, fig is too close to backwall. Hetzer is on my 38t chassis with tech from Lego Major's awesome Hetzers.

This shot was taken from a small bridge linking two groups of flats in Blackwall Basin. I've been back many times since taking this and I have to say it's probably my faviourite spots to shoot Canary Wharf from. This is a single RAW conversion HDR image processed in Photomatix and then in Nik Silver Efex Pro II for Black and White.
All these photos were taken in a public place and thereby was breaking no laws - "You have the right to photograph any subject as long as you are in a public place and it is not done for the purposes of terrorism.

Y Lliwedd is a mountain, connected to Snowdon in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. This view is from the summit of Mount Snowdon.
Its summit lies 2,946 ft (898 m) above sea level.
The eastern flanks are steep cliffs rising above the lakes of Glaslyn and Llyn Llydaw. Y Lliwedd is the most conspicuous of the peaks for those who approach Snowdon via the Miners' and Pyg tracks. Few that summit Snowdon continue over to Y Lliwedd as the challenge of Wales' highest peak is enough, leaving Y Lliwedd quiet and peaceful even when queues are forming at the summit of Snowdon.
Hikers and mountaineers often pass over Y Lliwedd when walking the Snowdon Horseshoe. The noted British climber George Mallory undertook many of his early climbs here. It was also the site of considerable training activity for the 1953 British Everest Expedition.
The north face of Y Lliwedd was explored in the late 19th century and in 1909 was the subject of the first British climbing guide, The climbs on Lliwedd by J. M. A. Thomson and A. W. Andrews.
Two subsidiary peaks of Y Lliwedd are listed as Nuttalls: Lliwedd Bach 2699 ft (818 m): SH628532 and Y Lliwedd East Peak 2947 ft (893 m): SH623532.
On the right and 7.5 km (4.6 miles) in the distance are the twin lakes of Llyn yr Adar and Llyn Llagi. Llyn yr Adar lays 195 m above Llyn Llagi and Llyn yr Adar drains into Llyn Llagi via a waterfall.
Llyn Llagi occupies a north-facing corrie in the central area of the Snowdonia. The lake lies at 380 m beneath a steep backwall and comprises a deep, almost circular basin (maximum depth 16.5 m) bordered by an extensive shallow (1 m deep) rim. The lake covers an area of 5.67ha and the primary inflow constitutes the outflow stream from Llyn yr Adar. The lake drains to the north-west to the Nanmor valley. The catchment (157 ha) consists primarily of Ordivician slates and shales of the Glanarfon series. The backwall is composed of a large doleritic intrusion with small intrusions of fine microgranites and volcanic tuff. The catchment soils are mainly stagnopodsols and gleys, interspersed with blanket peats. The vegetation is characterised by Calluna (heather), Molinia (purple moor-grass) and Eriophorum (cotton grass), and the catchment is grazed at a low intensity by sheep. The lake and much of the catchment lie within a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Llyn Llagi is classified as having high acid deposition.

Trying to come up with something creative/artistic is taxing i feel like i've run out. Need something to jump start the old mind, need to feel inspired. Maybe it's because i haven't put 100% effort into my shots. Sad part is i'm not even done half way with this project. I need a beer....

It's a Tale of Two Cities collaboration with teotwawki . We both used lomo lc-as, and it's cross processed as well. Damn, but we're great!
7 Days of shooting.
Week#20.
Handles.
Unusual point of view tuesday.
An unusual point of view. For most of us that is. I take it you don't stare in the barrel of a gun everyday, Let alone a double barrel gun.
It this case a French double barrel cavalry gun from around 1830. The gun has two barrels, two triggers and two hammers.
The gun is not floating in mid air. Nor did I cut out the gun in photoshop. When you flip the image verticaly you can see that the gun is balancing on its two hammers and resting with the handle against the backwall, the two barrels in an allmost 45 degree angle. An unusual point of view also.

The History of the Ohio State Reformatory:
"The cornerstone laid on November 4, 1886 evolved into this magnificent Chateauesque structure. Cleveland architect Levi T. Scofield designed the Ohio State Reformatory using a combination of three architectural styles; Victorian Gothic, Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Anne. This was done to encourage inmates back to a "rebirth" of their spiritual lives. The architecture itself inspired them to turn away from their sinful lifestyle, and toward repentance
The Reformatory doors were opened to its first 150 young offenders in September 1896. After housing over 155,000 men in its lifetime, the doors to the prison closed December 31, 1990.
Today the Ohio State Reformatory Historic Site receives visitors from all over the world. Every year tourists, movie buffs, thrill seekers and paranormal investigators walk through the halls of this majestic structure.

Ghostly History of OSR
As reported by News Channel 4, Columbus, Ohio 1997
Stone walls and iron bars they're still here, but what of the humanity, if you can call it that, of the old Ohio State Reformatory at Mansfield. What of the 154,000 inmates who passed through it's gates in it's 94 years as a working prison. Not to mention their keepers, the Wardens, and the Guards, the gravediggers, and the rest, what of them remains? As it turns out, more than you might think. No matter what their crime, some sent to Mansfield have never left. They rest unclaimed in a cheerless graveyard just outside the fence. 215 numbered markers laid out row on row. Most were victims of disease, influenza, tuberculosis, but some died of less natural causes; From the violence, that is all to common inside any prison and was far from unknown in this one. And the worst of it occurred well away from the main cell block with their rows of cages stacked tier on tier, and inmates, one or two to a cell. There were too many eyes, too many witnesses here, no the worst of it was reserved for a far lonelier place, deep beneath the prison ground. A place called local control, or solitary, by some, known by everyone else as the hole. Near total isolation can crack all but the toughest of cons, but none was so alone that there wasn't room for death. At least one inmate managed to hang himself, another set himself on fire, once two men left too long in a single tomb like cell, only one walked out, leaving his cellmate's body behind, stuffed beneath a bunk. Could there be other similar surprises? Or words left over from the days before the prison closed? Even when they're empty, some swear something walks these halls. It isn't enough for contemporary visitors not to wonder off alone while sight seeing, what‘s become one of Mansfield's more popular tourist attractions. But the bloodiest single incident in the old prison's history occurred outside it's walls. In July 1948, when the Reformatory's farm boss, his wife and daughter were kidnapped and shot to death by two parolees bent on revenge. A six state manhunt for the so called mad-dog killers ended in a shootout that left Robert Daniels of Columbus in custody and his partner, James West dead. "I'll get the Chair" Daniels told police as he signed the confession. And on January 3rd, 1949, he did. A year later in 1950 disaster struck again. This time, here in the living quarters of the Warden himself. The Warden's wife, removing a jewelry box from a closet shelf dislodged a pistol from it's hiding place. When it hit the floor, the gun went off inflicting a fatal wound. And within the decade, even more bad luck. The Warden, hard at work in his office, suffered a heart attack and died. All this was nearly 40 years ago and more, how then to explain the voices shaken tour guides swear they hear today? Man and woman talking, to faint to understand, to persistent to ignore and chilling to listeners who think they're alone, only to find themselves apparently eavesdropping on the warden and his wife locked forever in an endless conversation from beyond the grave.

Moving some files on to a backup drive and found these old photos taken with a piece of shit camera I had at the time. I was about 25 years old here and Chloe was about 2 years old. The year is seen on the picture.
This picture as seen is Chloe and I sitting on our old couch. And you don't even want to know why there is a cover on the couch. Seriously, you don't!
Oh and that painting on the backwall there? Stolen.
The light post seen to the left of that? Stolen.
All the misc shit you can see scattered about next to the light post? Useless junk. Probably stolen.
The happy family pictures here don't really tell the true story of how poisonous this entire environment was for everyone living in it. No question about it, living in this apartment together with that girl and Chloe and everything that went along with that was the low point in my life. I've been meaning to write an entire fiction book about it, but use it as a huge inspiration/reference. I've been too busy writing bullshit on flickr to you fucks. I should step to it!
How cute is mega-mini babe?
The Temple of Dendur, Roman period, ca. 15 B.C.
Egyptian; Dendur, Nubia
Sandstone; L. from gate to rear of temple 82 ft. (24 m 60 cm)
The Temple of Dendur, a Nubian Temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, the gods Harpocrates and Osiris, as well as two deified sons of a local Nubian chieftain, Pedesi ("he whom Isis has given") and Pihor ("he who belongs to Horus"), was comissioned by Emperor Augustus of Rome around 15 BC. In 577, the temple was converted into a Christian church. The conversion is documented by a Coptic inscription. In the 19th century, graffiti was left on the temple walls by visitors from Europe.
The temple was dismantled and removed from its original site (modern name: Dendur, ancient name: Tutzis, about 80jm south of the town of Aswan) in 1963 in order to save it from being submerged by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. In recognition of the American assistance in saving various other monuments threatened by the dam's construction, the temple was given to the United States of America by Egypt in 1965. The stone blocks of the temple weighed more than 800 tons in total with the largest pieces weighing more than 6.5 tons. They were packed in 661 crates and transported to the United States by the freighter S.S. Concordia Star. In the United States, several institutions made bids for housing the temple, in a competition which was nicknamed the "Dendur Derby" by the press. Alternative plans proposed re-erecting the temple on the banks of the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. or on the Charles River in Boston. However, these suggestions were dismissed because it was feared that the temple's sandstone would have suffered from the outdoor conditions. On April 27, 1967, the temple was awarded to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it was installed in the Sackler Wing in 1978. Inside the Sackler Wing, designed by the architects Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo, and associates, a reflecting pool in front of the temple and a sloping wall behind it, represent the Nile and the cliffs of the original location. The glass on the ceiling and north wall of the Sackler is stippled in order to diffuse the light and mimic the lighting in Nubia.
The temple is constructed from sandstone and measures 25 meters from the gate to the rear as well as 8 meters from the bottom to the highest point. It is decorated with reliefs, the coloring of which has perished: The temple base is decorated with carvings of papyrus and lotus plants growing out of the water of the Nile, which is symbolized by depictions of the god Hapy. Over the temple gate as well as over the entrance to the temple proper, depictions of the sun disk and the wings of the sky god Horus represent the sky. This motif is repeated by the vultures depicted on the ceiling of the entrance porch. On the outer walls, Emperor Augustus is depicted as a pharaoh making offerings to the deities Isis, Osiris, and their son Horus. The subject is repeated in the first room of the temple, where Augustus is shown praying and making offerings. The middle room, which was used for offerings, and the sanctuary of Isis at the rear of the temple are undecorated but for reliefs on the door frame and backwall of the sanctuary. The latter shows Pihor and Pedesi as young gods worshiping Isis and Osiris respectively.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection contains more than two million works of art from around the world. It opened its doors on February 20, 1872, housed in a building located at 681 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Under their guidance of John Taylor Johnston and George Palmer Putnam, the Met's holdings, initially consisting of a Roman stone sarcophagus and 174 mostly European paintings, quickly outgrew the available space. In 1873, occasioned by the Met's purchase of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriot antiquities, the museum decamped from Fifth Avenue and took up residence at the Douglas Mansion on West 14th Street. However, these new accommodations were temporary; after negotiations with the city of New York, the Met acquired land on the east side of Central Park, where it built its permanent home, a red-brick Gothic Revival stone "mausoleum" designed by American architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold. As of 2006, the Met measures almost a quarter mile long and occupies more than two million square feet, more than 20 times the size of the original 1880 building.
In 2007, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was ranked #17 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967. The interior was designated in 1977.
