The best gift this X-mas? A remote control for my new camera. Here's the shot I took to test out the device.
All I did was set the camera on the back of the couch, set it for "remote with 2 second delay," pressed the shutter release, and walked casually in front of the camera. I like the 2 second delay because it gives me time to put my hand down (so the photo doesn't have me pointing the remote at the camera.
"Habito los tiempos cortos que resumen el espacio
al instante aleatorio y fugaz de tu impulso en las neuronas.
Camino asido a la brida que, asida con entereza,
ahonda en mi fortaleza y te vive hasta la muerte.
El pasado y el presente se dan la mano en un punto
y no dejan de ser las suertes que viví sin respirarte...
...tiempos cortos que, estrechándose en la ausencia de tu aliento,
configuran mis fronteras.
Espacios infinitos en que ya no te diviso,
incluso desde esta noche, oscura y fría,
donde mis sueños rotos aún pregonan que te amo".
-Tiempos cortos (enero 2004) -

Tatiana Weston-Webb doing powerful turns in full control at Rocky Point on the North Shore. This season she's been performing well on the World Championship Tour (best of the best) as an injury replacement, and is also close to qualify for the next season.
Control knobs at the old steam plant. Would you guess that it was a cloudy, rainy morning? It’s possible to make a chiaroscuro with soft, indirect light. It's just ... softer.
Brought this shot out of cold storage (because god help you if it hits sunlight) for Polaroid Week...what a time. Some stone-cold freaks in the Netherlands had bought a factory, figured out how to make Polaroid film...it was YEARS, years until that stuff was anywhere near reliable, I seriously never knew what I was gonna get from pack to pack.
Nowadays folks really embrace the lack of control, the mystery, how chance steps in as has its way with the image, but I'd come up knowing Polaroid as a thoroughly dependable format, like any other film...it was (and will probably always be) a harsh adjustment.
But a decade later I can look at this shot and not only appreciate it for what it is aesthetically, but feel damned impressed that people were actually able to save a thing they loved and make it all new.
I don't remember exactly what I said to Erika when I traded out the old Polaroid pack I had for one of the new-fangled Impossible Project packs, but it was probably along the lines of "I have no idea what to expect, here, let's just cross our fingers and hope for the best, here we go DON'T MOVE"

Here in Eugene, Oregon lie the remnants of a once mighty train company Southern Pacific which was bought out by the Union Pacific. The remains of a roundhouse, machine shop, and evidence of support buildings not to mention an intact turntable. This photograph of some type of junction I have no idea what for but it was intriguing.
Les fleurs doubles de mon rosier Rosier Flower Carpet (Rosa x 'Flower carpet)' de couleur rose foncé.
Le rosier Flower Carpet est un arbuste d'ornement cultivé pour la longue floraison qu'il produit. On en fait la plantation en plein soleil, mais tolère la mi-ombre, dans un sol fertile, frais et bien drainé.
C'est un rosier couvre-sol qui orne le centre de ma plate-bande. Le feuillage caduc est fait de feuilles ovales, dentées, brillantes, de couleur vert sombre. La floraison prolongée, de juin à octobre, produit des fleurs doubles groupées au bout des tiges. Il nécessite peu d'entretien, car on doit simplement l'arroser pour éviter que le sol ne se dessèche, et tailler les fleurs fanées. Il est résistant aux maladies, et on contrôle les pucerons en le pulvérisant d'un savon insecticide. Il est conseillé de le tailler du 2/3 au printemps.

Of course having supernatural powers can be disturbing for a nine week old cat, but Max has made it clear that he'll only use his powers for good (unless someone pays serious money).
He can also bend spoons, levitate and solve most Sudoku puzzles in under five minutes.
Stopped by the remote controlled airfield for short time for the first time in quite a while. A friend of mine was flying a few of the 31 planes he owns. Only got photos of 2 of them while there, the first two red ones and the last six photos here. Fun watching how skillful these pilots are doing aerial maneuvers, takeoffs and landings. I always send any photos I take for them to post on their club site. Sorry for so many photos, just saving to my album. :-)
Aldborough Roman Site contains the remains of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantium as well as an interesting museum looking at the history of the settlement.
Before the Roman occupation, the region in which modern Aldborough stands was ruled by the Celtic Brigantes. The Brigantes were one of the dominant tribes of the Iron Age in Britain, controlling the area which is now Yorkshire and Lancashire. At the time the Aldborough area was a Brigantian settlement called Iseur, however the Romans built their own settlement here and named the town Isurium Brigantium.
After the Roman invasion of Britain the Brigantes were initially compliant with Roman rule; 'Brigantia' became a client state. Indeed it was the Brigantes Queen Cartimunda who handed over a major adversary of Rome, the Catuvellauni chieftain Caratacus.
After Cartimunda divorced her husband, Venutius, in favour of his armour bearer, Venutius rebelled, and the Brigantian territories descended into civil war. Cartimunda was rescued by Roman aid. Soon after, however, the Romans took advantage of the unrest to take control of the region. In AD71, Petilius Cerialis, the Roman governor of Britain, subjugated the local population and established Isurium Brigantium as the headquarters for controlling the regional population.
In the beginning Isurium Brigantium would simply have been a fort, with a civilian population inhabiting the perimeter of the town. During the second century, the military capacity of the town was much reduced, and it established itself as a civilian centre. Approximately 55 acres in area, Isurium Brigantium was surrounded by a significant stone wall, reaching 12 feet in height, and in some parts, having a depth of 9 feet.
However, the town seems to have diminished during the later Empire period, and with the withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain much of the original Roman town suffered.
Today, very little of the original Roman town remains, except for an area which is managed by English Heritage.
The entrance to Aldborough Roman Site is through an area close to the original Roman south gate. Visitors immediately arrive at the Aldborough Roman Museum, which has on display fascinating architectural finds from the town.
Some parts of the southern wall remain intact, as well as the foundations of two defensive towers. Visitors can also follow the path through the gardens to view the highlight of the site, two magnificent mosaics. The mosaics date from the second or third century AD, and were discovered in the nineteenth century, the first by accident when a calf was being buried by an innkeeper. This mosaic has sustained some damage, and depicts a lion resting under a tree. The second remains well preserved, and shows an eight sided star in the centre.
In 2011, scientists using geomagnetic sensors located the remains of the Roman amphitheatre at Aldborough, under Studforth Hill, just outside the village.
