Assignement: engage unknown people at the flee market and convince them to let me make an environmental portrait of them
On the left is a grab shot with my new Ricoh R1, using its widest lens setting, 24mm (which automatically engages the "panorama" bars to mask the sides of the image). That's a carpet in the lower left. The R1 is auto-focus and auto-exposure and did a good job on both counts. The film was fresh Kodak ColorPlus 200.
On the right is a similar shot with the Olympus Pen D3. It has a meter but I didn't use it -- I just thought, "Uhh, that's like five stops down from sunny," or the like. And I guessed at the distance to the ladder which was seven or eight feet (2.5 m, but the Pen has feet scaled on the lens, not metres). The film was fresh Fuji 200 (though at the time, I was under the misapprehension that I had 20-year-old Kodak Supra 800 in it -- I shoot it these days at 200 so it didn't make any difference to the exposure).
Other than the noticeably wider field of view in the Ricoh, and the colour difference between the films, there's not much difference between the two. But the Ricoh is a much smaller camera, amazingly thin, thin enough to sit all day in my pants pocket like a small wallet. The splotchy light-leak in the lower right of the Ricoh picture bleeds from the adjacent picture which is a badly overexposed shot (I held the camera to the window to take a picture outside, but I forgot to turn off the flash . . . duhhh). I like the nebulous look of the leak.

Last few days have been kinda weird... watching the last of the water sims disappear into the SL air. Poof... gone! Now I have less sims, but way better performance on the regular sims. But, I had to take this last pic of the last water sim... bye bye and hello to the class 5 server! Woot!
So off we went to celebrate the new sims. We wanted to get dress ed up, but not too dressy??? You know what I mean... not quite Avilion or Phat's dressy, but more clubby-salsa dressy...
We met DJ Jen Noel at a recent night out. Her catalogue is so cool. Spanish, contemporary... her mixes are to die for. She is known around the music circles as "The Dealer." Her music takes you to a place of romance and passionate latin rhythms. I loved dancing Sine Wave's "Seville" to Jen's spin.
We went to see DJ Jen again back at Bella Vida for a disco night that they feature once a month. Wow, they did a beautiful job of placing the colorful disco floor adjacent to the holiday trees w/ white lights. It was very pretty!
I get the feeling that DJ Jen is one dj that we will follow around. Hmmm, I'm actually getting a craving for her music! Woot Jen!

The annual user conference for HCL Digital products (HCL Notes/Domino, Connections, Sametime, Domino Volt, Volt MX and other products) took place in Bruges in Belgium on May 24 and 25 2022.
Once again Theo Heselmans and his lovely wife Hilde pulled off a spectacular event. There was food, there was beer, there was a guided tour of the beautiful City Hall in Bruges, there was beer, there was the opportunity to learn, there was beer, there was the opportunity to teach, there was the opportunity to connect with more people and... oh yeah... there was beer (if anyone had told me I would fall completely in love with a fruity beer, I would have said they were joking, but I had at least five of those on Tuesday).

Approximately 15 Coconino National Forest employees from the Flagstaff Ranger District and Supervisor's Office met on a chilly morning in early December to pitch in on a project located within Mexican spotted owl (MSO) habitat. Protected areas like this one, officially called "Protected Activity Centers" (or PACs), are areas across the forest where breeding Mexican spotted owls engage in their core activities, including nesting, roosting, and foraging.
The day's project work was held at the Mayflower PAC not far from Mormon Lake, a corridor renowned for its incredible wildlife populations, including elk, bald eagles, mule deer, black bears, and goshawks. A portion of the MSO PAC had been hand-thinned with chainsaws in October 2017. In accordance with the treatment prescription, the thinned trees and branches had been scattered across the landscape so that later prescribed burn operations would return nutrients from the cut trees back to the soil. However, upon review by fire experts, it was determined the combination of existing dead and down trees (mainly from bark beetle die-off) and the thinned trees left too much fuel on the ground to safely burn in a small, six acre patch of the treated area.
Led by silviculturist Mark Nabel, the employees set out to hand pile the newly cut trees and branches. They created piles seven to eight feet high, which will be allowed to settle and dry for at least a year before being burned individually. Once the piles are burned, the rest of the area can be safely treated with prescribed fire. The stands treated within this PAC are dominated by ponderosa pine, but also feature a lot of oak trees, an important tree species for the Mexican spotted owl. While some live tree losses are normally expected and desirable during a prescribed burn, managers want to take care to minimize the loss of oaks, particularly larger oaks, within the MSO PAC.
Employee work days are special events open to all employees who work for the Forest. These events give project managers the opportunity to get a lot of people out to help with light to moderate manual labor, like hand piling cut wood, building fences, naturalizing illegal roads, and similar tasks. The employees get the benefits of working directly with fellow employees from other programs and Districts, contributing to important stewardship projects, learning about other jobs in the forest, and taking a break from their normal work to spend some time outdoors.
This project area is part of the Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI). Visit the 4FRI website at www.4fri.org for more information about this important restoration effort. Photo taken December 6, 2017 by Deborah Lee Soltesz. Credit U.S. Forest Service Coconino National Forest.
