I was invited to take pictures for an event in the biggest Estonian casino chain - Olympic. At this event they gave away 1 000 000 EEK and just when they finally announced the winner my camera crashed. So this is the first picture that I did in the backroom when I got my camera working again. Epic fail!!!
Wednesday 27th July 2011 was not a good day for 46115 'Scots Guardsman' and for the clouds that once in place above the photo position failed to budge. Despite these shortcomings, I still pressed the shutter, and I feel that this image in monochrome is perhaps reminiscent of the 1960s, when steam and diesel in tandem was not uncommon. West Coast Railway Co. No.47760 drags the failed 'Scot' back to Carnforth at the head of the return 'Fellsman' charter near Dry Beck.

This is where she begins.
Facing her nightmares through the looking glass.
Seeing her dreams on the other side.
But there's a catch this time, Alice.
The nightmare is you.
The dream; anything else.
I've always been really afraid to start 365 days, but something inspired me and I knew that today was the right day to begin.
Although I'm lacking in equiptment, emotional capability and sheer dedication.
Today those things change :)
I also post these pictures on Twitpic AKA Twitter before I post them on Flickr.
What's wrong with this instruction? Photo has *not* been Photoshopped.
Photo taken at a local Target store.
I tried to make a gouge from a masonry nail (supposedly hardened steel). After annealing, I used a Dremel and stone to cut the inside of the gouge, then hand filed the outside sweep and the bevel. Then I heat-treated it, quenched it in oil, and tempered it at 400F.
The handle is cut from some green wood from fallen branches I found near a creek during a lunchtime walk. A short length of copper pipe serves as a ferrule.
Unfortunately, after I sharpened the gouge, I tried it out, only to have the edge bend back on itself. A test with another masonry nail showed that I seemed to have heated it hot enough for heat treatment (a magnet no longer stuck), but the metal was still softer than a file after quenching. This is a good reminder to test unknown steel before you make your tools!
I found that the handle also fits 6-inch files, so all is not lost.
In order to succeed in Life, we must make our failures important lessons along the way.
Watched a good friend loose his first mma fight tonight but I am sure he will come back stronger than before. I have failed in many ways but I always try to learn from my mistakes.

It hasn't been a very good day. I had plans to take my camera out and get an actual good shot, but I was busy, it was cloudy, and just other stuff is going on. Earlier in the day, I tried freelensing, also known as the poor man's tilt shift, inspired by Julie Paz's excellent picture from yesterday.
Obviously, it didn't work out as well for me as it did for her, though to be fair, apparently freelensing requires some amount of practice, and this is one of two shots I tried before I had to do some work stuff - hardly counting as practice.
Anyway, I'm having a bad evening and doubt I'll get a better photo before midnight, so this is it.
3rd attempt to route the cable to the ankle, and I still can't get anything out of it: dead foot. These brake levers only give you about 1cm of movement along the line, and with .25cm of slop in the joint already, I can't seem to get more than 15˚ of motion for the ankle when I need at least 90˚. Fail.
Either I build my own hand levers out of aluminum tomorrow, or I give up and attach the control rods directly to the feet - which sounds like a much less stressful solution. I was originally going to go for attaching directly to the feet, but I was feeling adventurous this morning... not feeling so adventurous anymore.

My failed attempt to get a photo of Dolce doing some Re-ment barbequing (given to the girls by our good friend). Here is the aftermath
Bucky the Beaver had been working on this 20 cm young cottonwood all last autumn. But he miscalculated and felled it too close to the adjacent tree in which it hung up. So he chocked it up as a learning experience and left it hanging. It will be interesting to see if it ever does fall on its own. Cottonwood Island Park, Prince George, BC. April 21, 2022.

Our room is apparently not ventilated enough for a gas fire in the lounge. Not that we ever use it anyway, at least never during the day with Joshua around.
The condensation inside this double glazed unit tells me that the seal has failed.
That means that in the near future I will have to go shopping for a new window ;o)

i used to include the white squares when i started doing my "inspired by" nods ( which have become my friday faves ) but stopped because i felt happier sharing photos with my contacts, not just links.
but i am making an exception today.
i just think this looks nice,lol.
and it actually speaks to the intent of the photo that is NOT appearing in the center...so take a sec and look at it ( it is one of maite's ) but also appreciate the quietness it shares with all the other photos i have loved this week:)

failed, but i still wanted to put this up.
Since the pano is such a wide image, it's hard to appreciate just how big in the sky this storm cloud was. It took me 5 pics at 18mm to fit it all in. It was raining a couple hundred yards out from the pier, but here it seems so far away.
and you should really really view this large!
