I thought I would try my flash to illuminate the foreground plants, but forgot that I could only go to 1/250 second, so the shutter speed is a bit slow for the front of the engine. This is at the Salt Creek Trestle east of Oakridge, OR, and the train is a northbound manifest of mostly empties.

This experiment was an attempt to recreate the fluorescence of chromium activated corundum (aka 'ruby'). Aluminum hydroxide was mixed with 1-4 drops of Cr(III) oxide in a basic solution. This was placed on a small amount of aluminum sulfate in an aluminum foil container and a bit of water was added.
The sample was then heated, first with a propane torch until the water was removed and then with a MAPP gas torch until the aluminum sulfate expanded into foam, trapping the aluminum hydroxide which was calcined into aluminum oxide by the torch's flame. (at least that was the plan)
Shown also is a natural ruby from Mysore, India.

Une nouvelle façon de faire pousser des muscles (à défaut de pousser la fonte ️). L’expérience Cardinal Muscle est arrivée avec le cargo Cygnus. Elle sert à étudier comment le tissu musculaire artificiel se forme dans l'espace, et à mieux comprendre pourquoi la masse musculaire diminue avec l’âge . Saviez-vous qu’on en pert environ 30% entre 20 et 80 ans ? Le corps des astronautes subit une perte similaire lors d’une séjour dans l’espace, mais beaucoup plus rapidement. C’est entre autres pour ralentir le processus qu’on fait 2h de sport par jour... Et c’est pour cette même raison que la Station spatiale internationale est un des laboratoires les plus indiqués pour développer de nouveaux médicaments contre ce phénomène 💪💪

A new way to build muscle ️ or a very cool flex. The Cardinal Muscle experiment arrived with Cygnus to study how engineered muscle tissue forms in space and help us better understand age-related muscle loss known as sarcopenia. #DYK between ages 20-80 we all lose around 30% of our muscle mass? Astronauts experience a similar but accelerated process in space, which is why you see us hitting the gym for two hours a day up here. It's also why the International Space Station is a good place to test new drugs that could help slow down this process 💪💪

A train ride with the Intercity Direct to Rotterdam. Tunnel vision.
Treinreis met de NS Intercity Direct naar Rotterdam. Tunnelvisie.
Again it was for experimental nothing much. But if I want to reshoot this image It would tell a story, to begin with, and change it from portrait to landscape. And I only liked the sunrise.
A few drawings pieced together in photoshop and then colored - not to sure on the results I'm going to have to keep playing, but I'm over this one.
I was tagged AGES ago, so here we go:
1. I'm 50% Swedish
2. I live in Singapore but I come home to St. Louis every summer (where I am now)
3. There is nothing more disgusting than biting wood.
4. I want a dog so so so so bad, preferably one like the puppy in the cottonelle commercial :)
5. I'm in love with my Nikon D5000
6. My theory is that anyone can be a photographer if they can afford a nice enough camera, but you can't be a photo-artist without the creativity of a a true artist
7. I played touch-rugby with flickr celebrity rachael hyde in school 1st semester of last year
8. I've met the Black Eyed Peas and Taylor Momsen
9. I have a blog that I work really hard on so you should
10. I'm addicted to music and chai tea lattes (click the link to find out more)

The experimentation with fusing continues..... should have left the kiln on slightly longer ...
Jerry for Julia Kay's Portrait Party!
i have blogged about this & my other fused glass portrait experiments here:
This was a cooking experiment as a result of something I heard on the radio. The speaker said he liked to eat fresh tomatoes on pasta. His method was to slice and dice one or more ripe tomatoes, place them into a bowl, sprinkle a little sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, grate a bit of Parmesan cheese, and add some olive oil and maybe a thin slice of sweet onion. Serve the uncooked tomatoes over some pasta like spaghetti.
The onion I used the first time was a small boiling onion that I like to use for small dishes. I diced it up fine and mixed it raw in with the tomato. The only problem was that I burped onion for several hours afterward. Next time I sauteed the onion along with a sliced zucchini, and that went very well with the tomatoes. Shown here is a small piece of grilled salmon left over from the huge pieces that Leslie Anne got for our Hurricane Irma party. More about that later. Since the salmon was already cooked, I just zapped it in the microwave for a minute to warm it up. I ate a bite or two, then flaked it with my fork and mixed it with the tomatoes over my pasta. Even though I only cooked half of a one pound package of spaghetti, I had twice as much pasta for a normal meal, so I saved it. A few days later, I revived the pasta with some melted butter before warming it up in the microwave oven and topping it with tomatoes and the sauteed onion and zucchini.
So now I have a new, proven quickie meal: fresh tomatoes (plus other stuff) over spaghetti that is a lot faster than cooking up a big sauce in which I always include everything in the kitchen.
in this photograph which i did on photoshop i wanted to show the people who look at this photo and see what the model sees and think for themselves what she might be thinking in emotion, next time to develop this photo i will be putting my own photograph in the glasses as i got this one of the internet
