You all know by now that one of my passions is photography and when the temperatures drop, the weather gets nasty, I get bored or I am just not compelled, I like to bring the photography indoors. This usually involves Snickers or some other vulnerable creature.
The Snicks is usually a willing participant in all of this but this day he just wasn't in the modeling mood. He had birds to watch and that Christmas tree that was just too much of a temptation. But anyway, here are some of the New Years series fails that I tried to revive. Snicks really didn't mind the attention BTW.
Steve and I are going hiking today so Snicks gets a day off!
Sometimes even with nice sunset clouds, colored fail to achieve a fire sky status.
Picture of the Day
Ok, so it's only funny if you live in the northeast.
Giant Eagle is a regional grocery store chain. They "bought" an auditorium on the Carnegie Mellon campus, but it's also a computer cluster so food and drink are not allowed in the room.
At Midway Depot in St Paul. When an engine failed west of the Depot, they would put on a BN engine and then swap it for a SOO or Milwaukee engine for the remainder of the trip to Chicago.
DC Railfreight 60028 romps past the lens as it leads 6Z85 Ravenhead Sidings - Derby Chaddesden Sidings south along the WCML.
The working of the day locally looked to be the delayed return of the empty sand from the weekend and with the skies looking promising I headed out. After 60046 presumably failed at the weekend and knowing the Cappagh blue tug headed north to rescue the train yesterday, I had half thought there might be the chance of two up front. Sadly that wasn't to be the case with the poorly 60046 riding at the back of the consist.
Havn't visited this location for a long time now, It's only 15 minutes or so away after moving house last month so figured it was time to give it another go. More height would be nice but with only my trusty 3 rung ladders this is as good as i'm getting for now...
Acton Bridge | 03.09.24
Class 47 No. 47828, passes Kempseye working the 1Z52 Shrewsbury - High Wycombe. This was scheduled to be 61306 'Mayflower' which unfortunately failed at Coton Hill.
I suppose failed is a bit of a harsh phrase as I have plans to redo this in the future, but I wanted to post this just to kinda have a marker for where it started
88009 drags the disgraced Network Rail test train set from Carlisle to Crewe pass Yealand. The set was supposed to work the various circuits in the North West the previous Thursday / Friday, but was cancelled.

Late in the day, when the sun starts to descend, an apricot-pink plank of warmth applies itself to the covers and stretches itself to great lengths across the floor and out the door into the hall. But because of my expired film oddities, and desaturation, I once again have something which rather than feeling warm and cozy, appears to be a little spooky. Let’s just go with it: welcome to the haunted beach house. Sheesh.
The alien threat was getting bigger. Half of the US was now wasteland or alien towers. US, German, British, Russian and many other soldiers struggled to stop the never ending waves. The HQ of this new alliance the United Nations, was moved to Germany after the US was labeled too dangerous. Here German scientist began devolving new vehicles, with the help of other countries. They decided to try and build a super tank. One with a massive gatling gun, smoke grenade launchers and 2 powerful flamethrowers. These failed most of the tests. Tanks have one major flaw. They are slow and can't get over tall obstacles or alien barricades. It was a British officer, General Lyons, who came up with the idea. "Ya know what you need? Legs. Gert powerful legs that can kick those bloody barricades of the face of the planet!" The scientists of over 20 countries spent day and night trying to do the impossible, give the tank some legs. Together the top 100 minds on the planet did what no one thought would be possible for over 50 years. Technology advanced dramatically and finally they made the perfect tank. It was put through vigorous testing. Each obstacle was either killed by the triple-barreled gatling gun, burned to a crisp by the twin flamethrowers or crushed and kicked to pieces by the powerful mechanical legs. In 1951, after 4 years of working, planning and making, the "Kartoffelstampfer Ausf. B" was put into production. Those bloody things will be kicked all the way back to Mars!
High School Reunion project - shot in collaboration with Ron Nabity. Thanks to the students and instructor of Sacramento City College Photo 392 class for the awesome modeling work!
Strobist: Two AB800s in back of room for rim light. Gridded ABR800 just off-camera left for fill on "Failing Student", SB-26 camera right just outside frame to light "Smart Girl" in the second row, SB-26 in softbox camera right as key, 580 EX bounced off ceiling for general room light and fill.
I thought this Pellucid Hawk Moth was done for when it entered the Hit Man's clutches. However, the left claw failed to get the crucial grip on a wing.
14:52 Try again, fail again, fail better.
I recently bought a new variable ND filter. My first attempt to use it was a huge fail - extreme overexposure, extreme underexposure. This week I failed again, but I failed better. Set on aperture priority, I'm still underexposing and not getting the smoothing I'd like. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'll keep playing and I'm sure with a few more fails, I'll figure it out. Life's like that. :)
N472 leads a failed N453 plus a VN and FN set out of Traralgon headed towards Morwell on 8424 up Bairnsdale Passenger train. 22nd July 2016
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better."
Samuel Beckett
I first read this quote a few years ago. Being a bit slow on the up-take I wondered, 'why would anyone want to fail?'
I don't really know anything about Samuel Beckett or his work, but I know that he is right about embracing failure. Clever bugger.
Another fantastic day in the excellent company of Jacinto Oliveira.
It's true, this amazing little bird never fails to impress and a journey there isn't complete without a few shots of it.
Cheers everyone.

I had the day off yesterday and decided I was going to take some great pictures. I got out my tripod, my lenses and even the manual for camera. I decided to try to see things in a new way. I looked indoors and outdoors. I looked for bright colors and for patterns. I zoomed in for macros and zoomed out for scenery. I took still life shots and action shots. I looked for funny shots and original shots. After hours and hours and hundreds and hundreds of pictures I didn't end up with a single picture I like. So, instead of showing you one failure I decided to show you 16!
BTW, there's a picture in here that shows Mack getting much closer to a black squirrel than I thought was possible.
Poor Executive Ellen! On her lunch break, she thought it would be nice to relax on the new "Fun at the Beach" hammock and sip on her coffee but it didn't go as planned :-)
No minifigures were hurt while taking this photo :-) Executive Ellen landed on the nice, soft sand below her, although that sand doesn't look too soft to me :-)
This year we end the Seven Days of Thanksgiving series in Paprihaven on the day after. Why? While it is wonderful to have a day set aside specifically to acknowledge our impossible debt to God by expressing our gratitude, every day should truly be a day of thanksgiving. After the amazing celebration at the Simmons,* the girls are back at Tracy's house.
Tracy: Wow. So tired. What a great time. Thank you, God.
Buckley: I'm so stuffed! I'll sleep on this bench if I can't make it upstairs.
Tracy: Who said you're staying here??
Buckley: You gotta be responsible, Trace! You can't let me drive home in this condition.
Briar: HAHAHA!
Tracy: You're not drunk! You don't even drink!
Buckley: I'm loaded with tryptophan. I can't make it. I'm DONE FOR, offissaaAAaa!
Briar: HAHA! What's 'trippafan'?
Tracy: It's an amino acid in turkey that people say makes you sleepy. I think what happened is we all just ate too much.
Briar: I ate sooooo much! I looooved that corn casserole! Who made that?
Tracy: I think Honor did.
Buckley: Ooohhh, I'm gonna pop. Let's just all get in bed, under the covers, and tell stories til we fall asleep.
Briar: That's FUN!
Buckley: But y'all GOTTA CARRY ME UUUUUUP!
Briar: HAHAHA!
Tracy: Oh, good grief. I'm stuck with both of you tonight. Are you sure you even have homes? You're always here.
Buckley: Oh! Haha! On Paprichat, Sheila Harper posted a video of her poodle grabbing a piece of turkey from the table!
Briar: I want to see that!
Tracy: Can you not be on your phone for like two seconds? And, I want to see too. And, who's Sheila Harper?
Buckley: She's got that pretty green Jaguar? Always real shiny? **
Tracy: Oh, yes.
Briar: I wanna see the video!
Buckley: Then come over here.
Briar: Can't move. You come over here.
Buckley: Uh uh.
Briar: BuuUUUUCK!!!
Buckley: You're outta luck, kid.
*WOOF!*
Briar: Hey, Biff!
Buckley: The Biffster!
Tracy: Wow, what a great day. And now we're just chilling. Peace. Joy. Love. God is good.
Buckley: All the TIME!
Briar: All the time!
Tracy: And, all the time...
Buckley: God is GOOD!
Briar: God is good!
Tracy: Bible challenge, then we somehow struggle upstairs. God's loving kindness. Psalm 117:2, "For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Praise the Lord!"
Briar: Psalm 63:3, "Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You."
...
Tracy: Buckley...
Buckley: Um... What's the one? "Please answer me God because you are loving and kind... and compassionate?"
Tracy: Close enough! Psalm 69:16, "Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me." Okay, upstairs! Up!

God wants you to give thanks.
Well, Thanksgiving came and went. Did your gratitude last beyond your afternoon nap? For many, that’s the extent of their thanksgiving—a one-time, get-it-out-of-the-way holiday that reminds them to reflect on how blessed they are. Too often and too quickly, people resort back to being ingrates. But God wills us to be thankful all the time, in all things. That’s the point of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 where Paul says, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” So if you’re saved, Spirit-filled, sanctified, submissive, and suffering, you have one thing left to do in order to follow God’s will—be saying thanks.
Paul’s simple, direct command—in everything give thanks—allows believers no excuse for harboring ingratitude. In everything carries an unlimited requirement. It refers to everything that occurs in life. With the obvious exception of personal sin, we are to express thanks for everything. No matter what struggles or trials, God commands us to find reasons for thanking Him always (Acts 5:41; James 1:2-3; 1 Peter 1:6-9). That’s His will.
If you’re not obeying that command, you’re not following God’s will. Think of it like this: If gratitude doesn’t come easy for you, neither will finding God’s will. Or to put it another way, if you struggle with being thankful, you’ll struggle with following God’s will. Need some motivation? Here are some reasons God wills you to be thankful:
God commands it:
Gratitude should come naturally to believers in response to all God has done on their behalf, but because of our hardness of heart, God enjoins us to thanksgiving with commands (Philippians 4:6; Colossians 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Therefore, all forms of ingratitude are sinful. Paul commanded the Colossians, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful” (Colossians 3:15).
When Paul describes the believer’s Spirit-filled life, he writes, “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father” (Ephesians 5:20). God doesn’t merely command those expressions of gratitude and leave believers helpless to comply. He enables us to articulate them (Philippians 2:13), and is pleased when we do.
Joni Eareckson Tada, who was involved in an accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down, writes, “Giving thanks is not a matter of feeling thankful, it's a matter of obedience.”
Thankfulness acknowledges God’s sovereignty:
The single, greatest act of worship you can render to God is to thank Him. It’s the epitome of worship because through gratitude, we affirm God as the ultimate source of both trial and blessing—and acknowledge our humble acceptance of both.
With a thankful heart, you can say in the midst of anything, “God be praised.” That kind of attitude looks beyond the circumstance to the plan of God. It sees beyond the pain to the sovereignty of God. It remembers, “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). An attitude of thankfulness enables us to deal with those who wrong us, saying with Joseph, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20). Those who are thankful see the providential hand of God everywhere and say, “God, I thank You for the peaceful times as well as the hard times—a difficult marriage, a challenging job, a severe illness—because I know You will use those things for my good and Your glory.”
The grateful Christian remembers that suffering perfects, confirms, strengthens, and establishes him (1 Peter 5:10). God wills that kind of thankfulness.
God judges ingratitude:
William Shakespeare wrote, “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child. Ingratitude thou marble hearted fiend.” If Shakespeare understood the hostile attitude behind thanklessness, imagine what God must think about it.
Ingratitude is the very essence of an unregenerate heart, ranking among the most intolerable sins in Scripture. The apostle Paul identified unbelievers as ungrateful: “For even though they knew God [through conscience and general revelation], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:21). Because man in his pride fails to honor and glorify God as Creator, he also refuses to thank Him for His gracious provision. Ingratitude betrays unbelief, and both sins bring about God’s judgment.
Although God is the source of every good thing that men possess—giving life, breath, rain, sunshine, and other natural blessings to the just and unjust alike (Matthew 5:45; Acts 14:15–17)—the natural man refuses to thank Him. In his fallen mind, to thank God is to acknowledge his own obligation to worship Him.
In summary, God wills our being thankful in all things because gratitude is the ultimate expression of a transformed heart. But thanklessness can infest and destroy a church, marriage, family and home. So cultivate a heart of gratitude. Be thankful for all things and in all circumstances. That’s God’s will. Are you following it?
