The ship has been in this location since 10 August 1979 and was bought by Empirewise Ltd who intended her to be used as a static leisure centre called "The Fun Ship" there were later plans to transform the ship into the largest open air art gallery. As of August 2012, the Latvian graffiti artist Kiwie was commissioned to spray a design on the ship and other European graffiti artists also painted murals from August to November in 2012, with further work done in March 2013; included work of by the british based artists such as Snub23, Spacehop, Dan Kitchener and Dale Grimshaw.
There is a large spray picture of the ships first captain John 'Jack' Irwin.
The ship was built at Harland & Wolff in Belfast and was completed in 1956. It was designed to operate as both a passenger ferry and as a cruise ship, and travelled to the Scottish islands, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway and Spain. After modifications the ship could carry 1,200 single-class passengers and 105 cars.

Duke Pomade ad probably torn from Ebony magazine; I recognize the "Duke Director"—that's Richard Roundtree from Shaft fame

Duke wanted to play outside. But I made him sit for me for this image before letting him through that glass door.
This is nice season for us, when grass is getting green (instead of brown during winter), weather still bearable (not too hot yet), and we can actually enjoy our patio, eating dinner in the backyard.

Today, I made the journey to Bedfordshire for these superb, scarce, but mostly tiny insects. I'd guess 3cm wingspan, or 1.25 inches in imperial measure.
This is the only Metalmark species found naturally in Europe
We had to search long and hard, before finding them in a chalky valley with their larval food plant (Cowslip) and plenty of Hawthorn to pose on.

I took this picture yesterday in Duke Gardens in North Carolina. This is a beautiful time of year in this area as it seems as if everything is in bloom.
Strobist info: I lit this with one YN560 in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox, which was hand held, camera right. The flash was in manual mode, and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used a manual exposure on the camera that let the background go fairly dark so that most of the light on the flower was from the flash.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

First-year medical students visit the galleries as part of a program co-sponsored by Duke’s School of Medicine and the Nasher Museum. The museum visit is part of a required course called “the practice course,” focusing on doctor-patient relationships. The goal is for students to build their visual and communication skills and learn how to better understand their patients and themselves. Photos by Dr. J Caldwell.
This is Duke, my 5 year old golden retriever. He is more than happy to be my model for this year's 52 Weeks project, and this is probably the most serious you will see him, throughout the year.
A few facts about Duke:
-Duke is a goof ball.
-Duke loves stuffed toys - especially if they belong to someone else (like my kids).
-Duke loves shoes. He doesn't chew on them, but if there is one accessible anywhere in the house, he will find it, carry it around for hours, and sleep with it.
-Duke SERIOUSLY LOVES FOOD (which happens to be the only thing he is serious about.)
-I'm pretty sure that he's convinced that he has to be lying on his back, with his feet straight up in the air in order to sleep.
-Duke is sweet and sometimes sensitive, even though he is also affectionately know as "The Hammer Head" in our home.
-He can't catch worth a dang no matter how much we practice.
-His unconditional love for his family is part of his being.
-His favourite place is right in the middle of it all!
I could go on and on, but that's what the project is for, right - to showcase all that is Duke, over the next 52 weeks:)
I have a few goals for our project this year. I want to plan out my shots a lot more than I did last year with Belle, so that throughout the year I can really showcase Duke's personality and his role in our family. Photographically, I'd also really like to get more action shots and try different techniques, so that I don't just take similar shots over and over.
Duke Nukem was first released as two side scrollers under Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II, respectively in 1991 and 1993. The titles were generally lost in a horde of other side-scrolling shoot-'em-ups, but it would be in 1996 that Duke would come into his own. Duke Nukem 3D built on the runaway success of first person shooters (FPS) like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D, but added a lot more, in that its protagonist--Duke Nukem himself--talked. Whereas Doom was more of a horror game and Wolfenstein a parody of bad World War II grindhouse movies, Duke Nukem was an over-the-top homage to bad 80s action movies.
Duke himself was roughly based on Bruce Campbell's Ash Williams from the Evil Dead movie series (specifically Ash in Army of Darkness), with a little bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, and Rowdy Roddy Piper's character from They Live thrown in. There isn't much in the way of plot for Duke--a dystopian Los Angeles in the "early 21st Century" is being invaded by aliens, who are taking Earth's women (specifically, Earth's "hot babes") and mutating its people. And Duke just isn't going to stand around for that. Besides, they destroyed his ride.
Like most 90s-era FPS, there isn't much for the player to do besides run around and shoot things, but Duke Nukem broke new ground in that the player could interact to a certain extent with their environment. Duke could drink from water fountains (or toilets) to regain health, he could play a game of pool, he could tip pole dancers...and Duke always had a good quip for the moment. The designers threw in a ton of pop culture references, including lines and situations from Aliens, the OJ Simpson "white Bronco" chase, and even a dead Space Marine from Doom at one point.
It was good, mindless fun, and though there was criticism for its occasional delve into near-pornography and objectification of women, the criticism was muted because at no point was Duke Nukem to be taken seriously. It was supposed to be stupid. Made on a budget of less than half a million dollars, it made well over $6 million back, and spawned a huge number of expansion packs and ports. If Doom ushered in the age of the FPS, Duke Nukem took the ball and ran with it.
When you see Duke Nukem wandering around the halls of Anime Central, you take his frickin' picture. Because it's Duke Nukem, and there's no telling what he'll do. And he's all out of bubblegum.
Kidding aside, I'd never seen a Duke Nukem cosplay before, so this was way cool.
