Not ALL of my flickr are of abandoned buildings and without description! Here's a self portrait of me (obviously) drying prints downstairs after a 9 hour darkroom session. The picture I'm holding is of this old eccentric guy who lives down the street and sort of reminds me of myself. I snapped it at his 90th birthday party at the local legion.
My goggles will also be celebrating their 90th birthday party in about 10-15 years.

The event is in its third year and has been embraced by the general public as well as attracting talent recognised worldwide. Blackpool has seen some very big names from the world of urban art. This year artists have come from Spain, Australia, Chile, France and Italy. There are Sore2, Smug, Osch, Kashink and Zed1 to name but a few. Of course there is also some home-grown talent with 5 Blackpool based artists who are quickly making a name for themselves on the scene.
Sand, Sea & Spray takes place in six different locations all over the town of Blackpool:
The Sun Lounge, North Pier – an historical venue, the Sun Lounge is Grade II listed and has been visited by tourists since the Victorian era.
Deansgate – the hub of creativity and the home of the developing art scene in Blackpool.
Adelaide Street – 100 year old, Grade II listed picture frames are being brought into the 21st Century with the canvases being painted by fantastic urban artists.
Car park, Central Drive/Palatine Road – young people from the local area will have the chance to work alongside the established artists as they paint the walls together.
Church Street car park – a brilliant focal point for a piece of street art. Hundreds of people pass here every day on their way into the town and it has become well known for the piece by Smug and Dead. A perfect example of how the event has impacted on the town, causing people to sit up and take notice of urban art. Now it’s time to replace the art with something completely different and create a new talking point.
Ocean Boulevard – this is home to a vintage, static tram which will be transformed by one of the artists. Like the Sun Lounge and the picture frames on Adelaide Street, the tram is going to be another fantastic representation of the old and the new as contemporary, vibrant art breathes new life into an historic part of Blackpool.

The US Army began developing antitank missiles in the mid-1960s, but struggled in finding an adequate launcher for them. Both the M551 Sheridan and M60A2 "Starship" Patton used the M51 Shillelagh missile, but neither tank was impressive in combat, and the Shillelagh left something to be desired. The Army developed the far superior TOW (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked Wire-guided) missile in the late 1960s, but lacked a vehicle that could fire it, though infantry were equipped with TOW launchers.
As was often the case at the time, the Army hit on the idea of modifying the ubiquitous M113 APC to the role of TOW launcher, as the M901 Improved TOW Vehicle (ITV). The general chassis was unchanged, but a "hammerhead" TOW launcher was added to the top of the hull, replacing the commander's cupola and machine gun. The launcher carried two BGM-71s ready to fire, and a further ten inside. To reload the launcher, it was simply dropped back, and new missiles could be loaded completely undercover. Best of all, the launcher meant the ITV could fire from "hull down," exposing only the launcher itself. The ITV retained all the problems of the M113--light armor and vulnerability to mines--and would have trouble moving while the TOW launcher was in firing position. Still, the system worked, it was easy to employ, and inexpensive. It was also developed into the M981 FIST (Fire Support Team Vehicle), which replaced the TOW launcher with a laser turret to spot for incoming artillery.
The M901 was intended to be used in a European conflict, where it would be attached to tank teams and act as tank destroyers, firing from under cover and ambush. It was supplemented by the M2 Bradley, which had a TOW launcher as well, and TOW-equipped HMMWVs, but these had to be reloaded by a crewman exposed to fire. In the end, the M901 was never used in Europe, but saw action in both Gulf Wars. The US Army withdrew the M901 in the early 21st Century, but ten other countries still use it as of this writing.
This ITV is on display at Fort Douglas, near Salt Lake City, Utah, and is shown with the TOW launcher in firing position. It retains its desert camouflage and Gulf War tactical markings on the hull, though more than likely this M901 was not assigned to the Utah National Guard (which mostly consists of engineer and artillery units).
Saw an article on Petapixel about Super 8 Gose from Dogfish Head, a beer you can develop film in. Why not, right?
The results weren't fantastic by any stretch. The negatives were incredibly thin. I might try it again with a longer development time at some point. But all in all I did come away with some photos I liked. And it was kind of a fun experiment, something different.

European Disaster Volunteers is embarking on a collaborative project with Kleiwerks International to develop affordable, safe, environmentally friendly reconstruction techniques that use locally available materials and meet community’s practical and cultural needs.
We’ve begun making adobe bricks using Baggasse (the bi-product produced when sugar cane is processed) and reclaimed rubble. Over the next several weeks we’ll test the strength of these bricks and build a test structure.
Once this testing phase is complete, we’ll teach communities about these sustainable, affordable building techniques through workshops and then work with survivors to implement what they’ve learned.
Survivors will be encouraged to use these techniques to jump start local reconstruction efforts. This process of community ownership will be key to the success and sustainability of the project.

Chalapi Oghlo was the grand vizir of Emperor Muhammad Khodabandeh whos the Dome of Soltaniyeh is his mausoleum. The abby is located almost half a mile away from the Dome of Soltaniyeh and is considered one of the only three still standing structures from the now totally destroyed Mongolian Empire capital. Chalapi Oghlo means "Son of Chalapi" in Oghuz Turkic language which later developed into the modern Azari language which is one of 2 major languages spoken in present day Iran. Azari people are ethnically Persians residing in North Western Iran who adopted Oghuz Turkic language during the prolonged rule of Central Asian Turk dynasties who took over Iran and then adopted to the local culture and naturalized as Persians. Presnt day Azari language was developed from the Oghuz Turkic (The language of Invaders) and Persian (The language of local population).

Developed using the principles of New Urbanism, CLC worked with its private sector partners to create a compact, pedestrian-friendly community. Our shared goal was to build a space where residents are never more than a few minutes away from parks, schools, green space and access to public transit. With 1,600 housing units ranging from single-family homes to townhouses and apartments, as well as retail shops and services located on the property, the development offers something for everyone.
Garrison Woods also celebrates its association with its military past, by retaining existing street names from the former Canadian Forces Base. As a gesture of respect to the Base’s history, Garrison Woods also incorporates memorials to pay tribute to the men and women of Canada’s military.
Garrison Woods was completed in 2004, and has since become one of Calgary’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
_______
La SIC et ses partenaires du secteur privé ont utilisé les principes du nouvel urbanisme pour créer un quartier compact et invitant pour la marche. Le but consistait à construire un secteur où les gens sont à quelques minutes à pied des parcs, écoles, espaces verts et transport en commun. Le quartier compte 1 600 résidences de toutes sortes, des maisons individuelles aux maisons en rangée et aux appartments, de même que des commerces et services qui répondent aux besoins des résidents.
Garrison Woods est un endroit qui commémore l’histoire militaire des lieux, en conservant les noms des rues de l’ancienne base des Forces canadiennes. En guise de respect pour l’histoire de la base, des monuments ont aussi été érigés à Garrison pour rendre hommage aux hommes et aux femmes qui ont servi dans les Forces canadiennes.
Garrison Woods a été terminé en 2004 et, depuis, est devenu un des quartiers les plus recherchés de Calgary.

Juror Statement: It’s always a pleasure to serve as a juror for such national exhibitions like the Center Galley’s Developed Work exhibition for the 2010 National Photography Fellowship Competition. The process of looking at each submission opens my eyes to a variety of exciting trends developing in the field of photography. The photographic styles ranged from portraiture to landscape, abstract to sculptural, and conceptual to dreamlike. Overall the dominant theme was a introspect view of the United States’ social political landscape. The seven artists I chose to include in this exhibition reveal the diversity in photographic theme and style seen throughout all the entries.
Larry Robinson’s work cleverly stood out in the submissions with its wit, absurdity and pop culture references. The juxtaposition between the projected images of food in the installations with their contrasting domestic or natural environments speaks humorously to America’s infatuation with food. Roger Boulay’s photographs of sculptural stacks of magazines speak beautifully to America’s consumption of media. Jennifer Colten’s eerie surveillance-like video stills of uninhabited places tap into the more anxiety prone culture Americans have developed since the September 11th attacks. Eric White’s examines the border between Mexico and the United States with particular focus on the security fences, surveillance stations and checkpoints. Through portraiture, still-life and landscape, Zach Abubecker observes Ethiopian immigration in the United States raising issues of assimilation and cultural identity. Mary Farmilant’s striking interiors of abandoned hospital spaces perhaps act as a depiction of the current demise of the heath care system. And lastly, Pete White conflates death notice photographs with weather reports in an attempt to illustrate the social political tension generated by death.
The caliber of the work submitted was stellar and I would like to recognize the following artists that I was unable to include in this exhibition: Brook Reynolds for her pictures of closed gas stations; Rylan Steele for his interior office pictures, and Amanda Pfister for her typography of closed car dealership throughout the United States.

Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Light Installation / Video Mapping Installation
New City Hall Bayreuth from July 7th to August 28th On the occasion of Richard Wagner’s 200th birthday the Berlin artist Philipp Geist (1976) develops a comprehensive light and video mapping installation on the external walls of the New City Hall in Bayreuth over a period of 40 nights. The artist dismisses the use of screens and projects his artistic image and light projections directly onto the facade. The projection merges with the location and invites visitors to linger around the New City Hall. The art installation is going to be further developed and enhanced during the mentioned period.
The subject of the artistic installation is Richard Wagner and his works; images, words, quotes, and associations from his operas are artistically interpreted and incorporated into the installation. These terms and quotations from Wagner's operas are projected in a "carpet of words" and abstract verbal images on the facade. With his pictorial language the artist Philipp Geist develops his own artistic interpretation of Wagner's themes. Geist creates a dialog between the location, i.e. the New City Hall, the visitors, and the artistic works of Richard Wagner. In the process, the access to the "Wagner" topic is complex: On a first direct level, concepts and images of his major works will be displayed on the facade by means of the visual language of Philipp Geist. Visitors will be inspired by individual characters and scenes from the rich repertoire of fine arts, from paintings and illustrations, especially from the 19th century. However, the characters and scenes will be alienated and integrated into the abstract structures of Philipp Geist’s worlds of images. Known Wagner themes, such as fire, natural phenomenons, and symbols like the ring, the sword, and the storm as a mirror for the inner turmoil, can be re-experienced and emerge as quotes in the form of images. In this way the installation demonstrates connections in a non-narrative manner and thus admits a different modern and contemporary access to Wagner’s works.
In this manner the radiant face of the hero appears in order to darken and vanish in the next moment. The great void comes into sight through the building bathed in darkness symbolizing the fraud, the vile and the dark side existing in men.
A scenery appears for an instant to dissolve in a flash into a graphic pattern again. Pristine landscapes turn into pixels and remind the viewer of the actual romantic ideal.
The Rheingold shines and sparkles through a hinted blue surface of water to crumble to dust a moment later. Gray and white particles float over the facade; the material transience is almost palpable.
The symbolism of the colors is adopted from the works: white sails become black, and vice versa; for the contemporary video projection technology it is easy to decide instantly on fateful questions. The sails may also turn into colorful triangles and fly away over the facade as a graphic pattern. At the same time, it is the random and ludic character of the installation that lures out the tragic and borne nature of the Wagner pathos and allows viewers of any age to envision uncountable points of contact. The installation celebrates Wagner, but it also uncovers critical voices: polarizations like genius and kitsch clash together and cover the building as one, quotes as Wagner’s "Aber, aber, was sollen die Sentimentalitäten" [But for all that, what’s the point of all these sentimentalities] wander along the facade.
On another level the approaches followed by Wagner matter for Geist’s installation: Wagner crossed the boundaries between the different arts and contents. He allied image and sound, music and stories, symphony and legends. Also Geist’s installation is influenced by Crossover: the multimedia artist creates a synergetic work on the City Hall giving rise to images from texts and mixing the analog with the digital by painting with light and his computer

Lichtinstallation / Video-Mapping-Installation
Bayreuth Neues Rathaus 20.07.2013 bis 28.08.2013
KONZEPT PHILIPP GEIST
Anlässlich des 200. Geburtstags von Richard Wagner entwickelt der Berliner Künstler Philipp Geist (1976) über den Zeitraum von 40 Abenden eine flächendeckende Licht- und Video-Mapping-Installation auf das Neue Rathaus in Bayreuth. Dabei verzichtet der Künstler auf den Einsatz von Leinwänden und projiziert seine künstlerischen Bild- und Lichtprojektionen direkt auf die Fassade. Die Projektion verschmilzt mit dem Ort und lädt Besucher zum Verweilen am Neuen Rathaus ein. Über den Zeitraum der Installation wird die künstlerische Installation weiterentwickelt und ergänzt. Inhalt der künstlerischen Installation ist Richard Wagner und sein Werk; Bilder, Begriffe, Zitate und Assoziationen aus seinen Opern werden künstlerisch interpretiert und in die Installation eingebaut. Dabei werden Begriffe und Zitate aus Wagners Opern als Wörterteppich und abstrakten Wort-Bilder auf die Fassade projiziert. Der Künstler Philipp Geist entwickelt mit seiner Bildsprache seine eigene künstlerische Interpretation der Wagner-Themen. Geist entwickelt einen Dialog zwischen dem Ort, also dem Neuen Rathaus, den Besuchern und dem künstlerischen Werk von Richard Wagner. Der Zugang zum Thema „Wagner“ ist dabei vielschichtig. Zum Einen auf einer ersten, direkten Ebene, werden Begriffe und Bilder seiner Hauptwerke in der Bildsprache von Philipp Geist auf der Fassade zu sehen sein. Einzelne Figuren und Szenen aus dem reichen Repertoire der Bildenden Kunst, aus Gemälden und Illustrationen v.a. aus dem 19. Jahrhundert werden dem Besucher begegnen. Sie werden jedoch verfremdet und in die abstrakten Strukturen von Philipp Geists Bilderwelten integriert. Bekannte Wagner-Themen wie das Feuer, Naturereignisse und Symbole wie der Ring, das Schwert, und den Sturm als Spiegel für die innere
Aufruhr werden neu erfahrbar gemacht und tauchen als Bildzitate in der Installation auf. Die Installation zeigt so in nicht narrativer Art Zusammenhänge auf und lässt somit einen anderen modernen und zeitgenössichen Zugang zu dem Werk Wagners zu. So erscheint das strahlende Gesicht des Helden, um sich im nächsten Moment zu verdüstern und zu verschwinden. Die große Leere erscheint durch das in Dunkel getauchte Gebäude und symbol- isiert den Betrug, das Niederträchtige und Düstere im Menschen. Eine Szenerie taucht auf, um gleich wieder in ein grafisches Muster zu zerfließen. Unberührte Landschaften werden zu Pixeln und führen dem Betrachter vor Augen, dass es sich um ein romantisches Ideal handelt. Das Rheingold strahlt und funkelt durch die blaue angedeutete Wasseroberfläche hindurch, um im nächsten Moment zu Staub zu zerfallen. Graue und weiße Partikel schweben über die Fassade, die materielle Vergänglichkeit wird geradezu greifbar. Die Symbolik der Farben wird aus dem Werk übernommen, weiße Segel werden zu schwarzen und umgekehrt, es ist der zeitgenössichen Videoprojektionstechnik ein Leichtes, ganze Schicksalsfragen zu entscheiden. Vielleicht werden die Segel auch zu bunten Dreiecken und fliegen als grafisches Muster über die Fassade davon. So ist auch das Zufällige und Spielerische Merkmal der Installation, die das Tragische und Getragene des Wagner-Pathos herausfordert und eine Vielzahl von Anknüpfungspunkten für das Publikum jeden Alters ermöglicht. Die Installation feiert Wagner, macht aber auch kritische Stimmen sichtbar: Polarisierungen wie „Genie“ und „Kitsch“ treffenen aufeinander und ziehen sich gemeinsam über das Gebäude, Zitate wie Wagners: „Aber, aber, was sollen die Sentimentalitäten“wandern die Fassade entlang. Auf einer weiteren Ebene werden die Ansätze, welche Wagner verfolgte, auch für Geists Installation von Bedeutung sein: Wagner überschritt die Grenzen der verschiedenen Künste und Inhalte. Er brachte Bild und Ton, Musik und Geschichten, Symphonie und Sagen zusammen. Auch die Installation von Geist ist geprägt vom Crossover: Der Multimedia-Künstler erschafft ein synergetisches Werk auf dem Rathaus, lässt aus Texten Bilder entstehen und mischt Analoges mit Digitalem, indem er mit Licht und dem Computer malt.

Uh oh, it's happening again - I see a theme developing. This week it appears to be selective colour, which people seem to either love or hate in equal measure. I like it but will be the first to admit it's easy to get carried away. Which I usually do.
There's nothing premeditated about having two colour popped shots in a row, it's just where my gut feeling has taken me that last couple of days when I'm processing my 365s.
You've probably guessed by now that the weather today . . . it's not the best. In fact it's been pissing it down for most of the morning. Not that this has stopped me and Joe having a blast, we've been on the sofa (again!) watching Transformers - the original series I might add, not the new movie, which I'm undecided on as to whether it's good or a disgrace to my favourite childhood toys.
The shot itself is taken through our kitchen window, with me outside getting wet :-). The letters are real, they belong to the boys. They stick to surfaces like glass when they're wet so I stuck 'em on the inside of the window to make the picture more interesting.
I took this photo quite early this morning, and it's been nice the last couple of days to get my shot and upload it earlier than usual so I've got my evenings free. Last night I got to cosy up on the sofa with Lydia and watch Dude, Where's My Car? - not the most highbrow of viewing matter but quite funny in places. Reminded me in equal parts of Bill & Ted's, American Pie and Wayne's World. But not as good as any of those.
The point is, it was great to be able to mong out on the sofa with my missus. And I have a real treat lined up for tonight - Rambo 4! Oh yes, I cannot wait to sit down and watch some old-school, back to the 1980s, the way it should be done proper gratuitous violence! The missus might not be quite so keen to cosy up for this flick . . .
