The composition of my fourth grade class - at least in part.
I had to retake some of my students' beginning of the year photos and I looked over and saw a few of them sprawled on the tile, waiting their turn (it's been so hot here!) and suddenly I had an idea for our theme this week! I saw an image similar to this somewhere not that long ago (wish I knew where!) and decided I had to try it right then!
I have two other images in my photo stream, but in honor of school beginning this week, I knew right away this would be my choice! I ended up taking three separate images as suddenly my whole class wanted to be part of the "heart" photo. Can't wait to hang them in my classroom!

The iron pillar of Delhi, India, is a 7 m (23 ft) high pillar in the Qutb complex, notable for the composition of the metals used in its construction.
The pillar, which weighs more than six tons, is said to have been fashioned at the time of Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375–413) of the Gupta Empire,though other authorities give dates as early as 912 BCE. The pillar initially stood in the center of a Jain temple complex housing twenty-seven temples that were destroyed by Qutb-ud-din Aybak, and their material was used in building the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque and the Qutub Minar complex where the pillar stands today.
The pillar has attracted the attention of archaeologists and metallurgists and has been called "a testament to the skill of ancient Indian blacksmiths" because of its high resistance to corrosion,due to both the Delhi environment providing alternate wetting and drying conditions, and iron with high phosphorus content conferring protection by the formation of an even layer of crystalline iron hydrogen phosphate.
About the Qutub Minar
Qutub Minar also Qutb Minar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in Delhi, India. The Qutub Minar was constructed with red sandstone and marble, and is the tallest minaret in India, with a height of 72.5 meters (237.8 ft), contains 379 stairs to reach the top, and the diameter of base is 14.3 meters whereas the last store is of 2.7 meters. The Construction was commenced by Qutb-ud-din Aibak in 1192 and completed by Iltutmish. The Qutub Minar is notable for being one of the earliest and most prominent examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. It is surrounded by several other ancient and medieval structures and ruins, collectively known as Qutub complex.
Qutub Minar in red and buff sandstone is the second highest tower in India, after the Fateh Burj or "Victory Tower" at Chappar Chiri village in Punjab’s Mohali district. A projected balcony encircling the Minar is supported by stone brackets which are decorated with honeycomb designs, more conspicuously so in the first story.
Inspired by the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan and wishing to surpass it, Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced construction of the Qutub Minar in 1193; but conical shafts, separated by balconies carried on Muqarnas corbels. The minaret is made of fluted red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an. Numerous inscriptions in Arabic and Nagari characters in different places of the Minar reveal the history of Qutb. According to the inscriptions on its surface it was repaired by Firoz Shah Tughlaq (AD 1351-88) and Sikandar Lodi (AD 1489-1517).
Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, to the northeast of Minar was built by Qutbu'd-Din Aibak in AD 1198. It is the earliest mosque built by the Delhi Sultans. It consists of a rectangular courtyard enclosed by cloisters, erected with the carved columns and architectural members of 27 Hindu and Jain temples[citation needed], Later, a coffee arched screen was erected and the mosque was enlarged,by Shams ud Din Iltutmish (AD 1210-35) and Allaud-din Khilji. The Iron Pillar in the courtyard bears an inscription in Sanskrit in Brahmi script of 4th century AD, according to which the pillar was set up as a Vishnudhvaja (standard of Lord Vishnu) on the hill known as Vishnupada in memory of a mighty king named Chandra. A deep socket on the top of the ornate capital indicates that probably an image of Garuda was fixed into it. It is situated in Delhi.
The Qutub Minar comprises several superposed flanged and cylindrical shafts, separated by balconies carried on Muqarnas corbels. The minaret is made of fluted red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an. The Qutub Minar is itself built on the ruins of the Lal Kot, the Red Citadel in the city of Dhillika, the capital of the Tomars and the Chauhans, the last Hindu rulers of Delhi. The complex initially housed 27 ancient Hindu and Jain temples, which were destroyed and their debris used to build the Qutub minar. One engraving on the Qutub Minar reads, "Shri Vishwakarma prasade rachita" (Conceived with the grace of Vishwakarma.)

This one's a question. Which image is "better"? Taken from the same camera position. First image is a regular (17mm) shot from my "normal" height. For the second image the camera height is raised and the lens shifted down to compensate. Two very different perspectives - which one do you think is the better RE image?

Sometimes, when I am working on the street, I come up with the composition with some objects that are around me. This time, I just came up with the specific composition, so I asked her to stand right beside the traffic light. Opps. I was so stoked about taking photos, so I almost forgot the cars behind me. They were saying something to me, but I don't care.
Monotype Caster Information
The composition caster casts individual letters. This is undertaken by causing molten metal to solidify by allowing the (soon to become) working faces of type to come into contact with a succession of moulds that form the shapes of the required letters. These letters are then assembled in correct relationship to each other.
The caster requires programming. The necessary instructions are fed through the medium of holes in a punched tape, which is no more complicated than the punched roll that causes a pionola to produce its music automatically. Each line of perforations is a code signal that instructs the caster to produce a character or space by ensuring that the right matrix (mobile character mould) is placed precisely over the mould (static body mould) at the right instant.
As the roll is unwound on the caster tower, compressed air is fed through the holes in the paper into small bore pipes beneath them. At the other end of the pipes are small pistons, which react to the air pressure by pushing up pins mounted into two flat-surfaced blocks, generally one pin in each block at one time. These pins transmit instructions to mechanical members that are moving towards them, by rising to arrest their movement and so position any given matrix over the mould.
Almost every moving part of the machine gets its motion from a battery of cams revolving at the left-hand side of the machine. The operations that lead to the creation of a single piece of type are timed in degrees around a circle of 360oc /one revolution of a camshaft. In practice it takes three revolutions for the complete sequence that enable one piece of type to be cast, ejected from the mould and pushed to the type channel.
