So...I shot it.
This is a waning gibbous 8-24-2013.
The side light on a gibbous moon, such as this, really shows wonderful details in the lower hemisphere. View full-screen if you can.
Induro Tripods asked me to write a piece for their Blog about shooting the moon. I hand held this one, but Induro shows my piece at:

Beautiful swimsuit bikini model goddess on a beautiful December Malibu afternoon! Shot it yesterday. :) Love, love, love the new Sony A7 R!
Was a fun test shoot. Many, many more to come!
All the best on your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
Best on your hero's journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
Falling in love with the full frame 36 megapixel e mount Sony A7R!
The books behind the pretty goddess on the Malbu bluff and surfboard are The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, Homer's Iliad, Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare, and Herman Melville's Moby Dick! My favorite books! Will have some video of the pretty model reading them beside a campfire soon.
They're all collectors editions! My books cost as much as my surfboards! :)
SOCIETY ARCHIPELAGO, FRENCH POLYNESIA (August 1, 2011) – Pacific Beachcomber S.C., French Polynesia’s leader in tourism and destination experience, today announces the opening of the Maitai Lapita Village on August 1, 2011. Built surrounding a fresh water lake, Maitai Lapita Village will open on 7.5 acres of land near the village of Fare on the island of Huahine. Owned by the MAITAI brand, the new property is managed by Hotel Managements & Services, which is part of the Pacific Beachcomber umbrella.
The restaurant, bar and pool offer views of the magnificent white sand beach bordering the crystal clear lagoon, affording a panoramic view of Raiatea, Taha’a and Bora Bora. Maitai Lapita Village features 15 ‘Premium Lake Bungalows’ built around the fresh water lake and decorated with beautiful water lilies, five ‘Premium Garden Bungalows’ and 12 ‘Garden Bungalows’ throughout the property, each with a partial view of the lake and surrounded by tropical plants and vibrant native flowers.
The architecture of the hotel was heavily influenced by both the artistic and canoe culture of the region. Each bungalow is designed to evoke a sense of the Polynesian canoe house, decorated with stylized canoe prows. Traditional paddles decorate the walls of the bungalows, and many feature furniture in the shape of a canoe. The style of the reception area and restaurant/bar is inspired by the architecture and cave adornments of the houses of ancient Polynesian Chiefs. The terracotta color of the Lapita pottery is consistently represented throughout the bungalows, and archaeological artifacts found on site also inspired the decor.
The term “Lapita” refers to the ancestors of French Polynesia, and to the people who navigated from South East Asia 4,000 years ago through Melanesia to Polynesia in great doubled hulled sailing canoes. The rich history of Polynesian culture served as an inspiration for the development of the hotel as well as the atmosphere that was created. The Maitai Lapita Village is told through the chronological exhibition in the hotel museum, tracing the ancient settlement period, through the arrival of Europeans, and to the present. On display are relevant artifacts, illustrations, explanatory texts and diverse artwork.
Maitai Lapita Village was built with great respect to the environment. The hotel is largely supplied by photovoltaic renewable energy using a combination of local and traditional as well as modern and recycled materials. The area’s eco-system is preserved through the use of non-polluting waste treatments and cleaning products. Native trees and traditional medicinal plants were planted around the hotel, recreating an authentic atmosphere. Across the grounds, a traditional flora is combined with natural species for color and variation.
The hotel plans to apply for EarthCheck Certification following the example of the two other Maitai hotels (Silver Certification in Bora Bora, and Bronze Certification in Rangiroa). The certification recognizes various environmentally-friendly practices and takes into account the relationship and various benefits shared with the staff and community, including educating and raising awareness to promote preservation on all counts.

Dr. Peterson, my Ph.D supervisor and one of my partners on this expedition, comes to get me through an opening in the Alaska jungle. Even with the dry-suit, I was beyond cold and half an hour in this water was too much.

Let it grow
Let it fill your life -
Let it wash over all the doubts and
Drown them.
Let it grow
Let that love grow - too -
Let it reflect in your eyes
Let it sparkle in your heart
Let it inspire all your actions
And give life to every deed
Let that love grow
If it’s real.

Because it's crystal clear that she's a beautiful person. Although I know her for decades, I've discovered who she really is only recently because we met in the virtual world. Now isn't this surprising?
Natalia Zaitseva, of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory works with growth and characterization of new single-crystal materials, which are used in neutron detection equipment. The solution-growth crystallizers, used previously for rapid growth of large KDP crystals for the National Ignition Facility, have been modified for growth of organic scintillator crystals. Recently grown 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene single crystal, shown on the pictures taken in white (this photo) and ultra-violet light (adjacent photo), is among a number of newly-discovered materials with superior properties for high-energy neutron detection in the presence of strong gamma-radiation background.
