Quay Brothers Return to Philly for First North American Exhibition, Film Festival Award
print version
Norristown-Native Animators, University of the Arts Grads Have Developed Global Cult Following
PHILADELPHIA (December 8, 2008) – Quirky, dark and moody has worked well for identical twins and Norristown natives Stephen and Timothy Quay. Their global cult following knows them better as the award-winning, London-based Brothers Quay, stop-action animators and graduates of The University of the Arts.
For the first time in North America, original sets (décors) from their films will be on display in the exhibition "DORMITORIUM: Film ‘Décors’ by the Quay Bros.” at their alma mater’s Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, February 27 – April 9. Part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebration of its College of Art and Design, the festivities will include a reception with the brothers, and a presentation of the Vision Award for extraordinary achievement in filmmaking in conjunction with Philadelphia CineFest on April 3.
The décors in the exhibition range from the brothers’ critically acclaimed “Street of Crocodiles” (1986) to “The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes” (2006). The exhibition also includes décors from “The Unameable Little Broom” (1985); “Stille Nacht I (Dramolet)” (1988); “The Comb (From the Museums of Sleep)” (1990); “Rehearsals for Extinct Anatomies” (1988); “The Cabinet of Jan Svanmajer” (1984); “Rehearsals For Extinct Anatomies” (1988); and “The Calligrapher” (1991). After its run at the University’s Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, the show travels to Parsons The New School for Design in New York City in the fall and Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Va., in the fall.
“Street of Crocodiles,” based on the short novel of the same name by the Polish author and artist Bruno Schulz, was selected by director and animator Terry Gilliam as one of the 10 best animated films of all time, and critic Jonathan Romney included it on his list of the 10 best films in any medium. “The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes” – a dark fairy tale about a demonic doctor who abducts a beautiful opera singer, with designs on transforming her into a mechanical nightingale – is the brothers’ second full-length feature film.
The Quays also directed an animated sequence in the 2002 Oscar-winning film “Frida,” starring Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina. Their first feature film, “Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life” was released in 1995. Their third feature, based on Schulz’s “Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass,” is in pre-production.
They have built a cult following making dark and moody films, mostly on or influenced by Eastern European film, literature and music. Many feature partially disassembled dolls and generally have no meaningful spoken dialogue. Their work has been impacted by an array of disparate influences – from Polish animators Walerian Borowczyk and Jan Lenica to writers Franz Kafka and Robert Walser; from puppeteers Wladyslaw Starewicz and Richard Teschner to composers Leo Janácek, Zdenek Lika and Leszek Jankowski.
Born and raised in Norristown, Pa., the brothers graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art (now The University of the Arts) in 1969 (Stephen with a degree in film; Timothy with a degree in illustration) and promptly moved to England to study at the Royal College of Art, where they made their first film. During the ’70s, they spent time in the Netherlands and returned to England to team up with fellow Royal College alumnus Keith Griffiths, who has produced all of their films, to form Koninck Studios in 1980.
The University of the Arts is the nation’s first and only university dedicated to the visual, performing and communication arts. Its 2,300 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs on its campus in the heart of Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts. The institution’s roots as a leader in educating creative individuals date back to 1868.
For a week, a man has been walking a dog in my local manor of Dennistoun, in Glasgow, and is greeted with locals with their phonecams out.
Why? Well, you can see why. The Man And His Dug has been a local fixture this week. They are the creations of art duo Jarsdell Solutions, who are the current resident artists at the severely underrated Market Gallery in Duke Street, who have been going for almost 2 decades without much notice, except for when their art happenings have spilled onto the street, and roped them in. Such as, for example, this one.
This is the closing event. It took the form of a walking tour, in which we walk with the Man and his Dug across Dennistoun, as well as Mr Francis McKee, who filled us in on the alternative history of Dennistoun: it's radical workers history, the politics (Both sexual [!], and Temperance [!!!] led) behind cafes where you can get ice cream...
That, and the fact that the last stand of the Native Americans pre-genocide was living here in the last years of the 1800's courtesy of Buffalo Bill, whose statue is a block-and-a-half from where I live. With, what I suppose, you could call their "entourage", and by all accounts I have read, they rocked the place, and they could drink everyone under the table.
The dog walk ended in Market Gallery's main space. In fact, it might be their only space soon. At which point, the point about the Man and His Dug became clearer: it's partly old history of Denistoun, but also modern Dennistoun, and what's happening right now.
What's happening is this: The post office in Duke Street is moving. It's current office: lovely, expensive building, about to be sold off- makes some money! So, where are they going to move? The answer? The two main spaces of Market Gallery. I don't blame the spaces owners- the Reidvale Housing Association- they're between a rock and hard place. The area needs a Post Office.
Ever since I first came to Denistoun in the early 2000's I was worried about gentrification of the local area, and it's implications of trendy capitalism verses it's effects on the locals (such as myself), and here I am in 2017, taking photos of a walking exhibit about it's effects.
All of these things, after we walked with The Dug and His Man, we were ready to discuss it, and discuss it we blimmin well did. I remember seeing the invite in Facebook to this event, and it mentioning "discussion", and I'm thinking: "Hm", but it was: proper discussion, pretty much from the off, with real people, people like me, about Denistoun's past, present, and future.

I shot in DX mode which crops away the extra pixels and takes me 1.5X closer while allowing for up to 7 FPS with the Nikon D810's Nikon MB-D12 Battery Grip using the 8 AA battery option! 8 Duracels took me through around 3,000 shots no problem--maybe more! I was shooting at the equivalent of 900mm with the 1.5x crop factor! Pretty close! Had I gone with the Nikon D4s, I would have gotten 12 fps, but no DX crop factor, as the sensor has only around 14mp, compared to the d810's 36 megapixels! Sure the larger pixel size on the Nikon D4s full frame sensor comes in handy indoors or at night, but in the bright sun, there's more than enough light for the smaller pixels in crop mode! Sure we lose some pixels from the outer edges when shooting in DX crop mode, but most of those pixels would be cropped away in lightroom anyway. And the smaller files make the memory cards last longer, while also upping the FPS to 7 shots per second! Not quite 12 FPS, but still awesome and enough I felt!
What a beautiful way to test the Nikon D810 and Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens for sports photography!

History of Jaguar
Written for CMC by Jaguar author Philip Porter
The great Jaguar story started in 1922 when 21-year-old Billy Lyons formed a company in partnership with a neighbour to produce motor cycle sidecars in Blackpool where they lived. From the very start, Lyons knew the importance of style. Until then they had been rather ugly appendages but the Swallow sidecars, as they were known, were very striking and attracted a lot of interest and healthy sales.Lyons then turned his attention to cars, offering stylish bodies on popular chassis. The first and best known of these was the little Austin 7 Swallow, in open and saloon versions. Again the style caught the eye, and they proved very popular. With the introduction of the S.S. Models in 1931, Lyons evolved his thriving company a step further by arranging for the Standard Motor Company to produce engines and chassis of SS design for the company to fit long, low rakish bodies which suggested great performance but did not quite live up to that promise.In 1935 the name Jaguar was adopted and the improved range were then known as SS Jaguars. The first real sports car, the SS100, had stunning good looks and performance to match.Following the war, the SS name was dropped, for obvious reasons, and the company became Jaguar Cars. During the later stages of the war Lyons and his senior engineers, Bill Heynes, Claude Baily and Walter Hassan designed a new engine for a planned radically new saloon car (sedan). Lyons wanted a glamorous engine that would give real performance and offer potential for development. A twin overhead camshaft configuration was chosen as it satisfied those criteria and gave the company great technical credibility. Such a complex design had not really been produced in serious quantities before and it was a brave move.
The new saloon was not ready and so several, more traditional models were introduced after the war. However, the company had an excellent chassis and a new engine. In 1948 it was decided to launch the engine in a sports car which would gain some useful publicity, garner a few sales and enable Jaguar to try out the engine on a more tolerant bunch of customers. Only a relative handful would be built. That was the plan.The XK 120, with the new XK engine, stole the 1948 Motor Show. Lyons had designed a sensationally beautiful and ultra modern open two-seater body. With the powerful engine, the 120 promised racing car performance on the road, yet with practicality and comfort. The orders flowed in and the XK 120 led Britain’s crucial post-war export drive, being especially popular in Hollywood. Around 60% were exported to the USA, earning vital dollars to rebuild war-torn Britain.The new large saloon appeared in 1950 and was christened the Mark VII. It was to be another great success. Meanwhile, the XK was making a tremendous name for itself on the world’s race tracks and provided an important breakthrough for a young man called Stirling Moss. XKs also distinguished themselves in rallying and record-breaking, proving the car was far more than a very pretty face. The Roadster was joined by the Fixed Head Coupé and Drop Head Coupé, before all three were succeeded in 1954 by the XK 140 range.The Le Mans 24-hour race provided unparalleled publicity worldwide and Lyons was determined to win it. The competition model, designed the XK 120C or simply C-type, was based on the XK 120 but with a lighter body and chassis. Jaguar took famous victories in 1951 and 1953. The D-type, often dubbed an aircraft on wheels, came next missing a winning début by seconds but won in 1955, 1956 and 1957.
The Jaguar range had been enlarged in 1955 with the addition of a new compact saloon. Known as the 2.4, a larger 3.4-engined version became available in 1957. As the later, more developed 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 models became known as the Mark 2s, so the originals are now referred to as Mark 1s.The Mark VIII succeeded the Mark VII and the XK 150 supplanted the XK 140. A handful of roadgoing D-types were produced and known as the XKSS – the supercar of its age. The Mark XI followed the Mark VIII and was fitted with an enlarged 3.8-litre version of the amazing XK engine, this power unit also being optionally offered in the XK 150, the range being supplemented by the higher spec XK 150 S models.In 1961 the E-type was launched in Geneva and caused as big a sensation as the XK 120 had in ’48. The three carb 3.8 XK engine gave virtual 150mph performance and superb acceleration but also typical Jaguar docility and torque for high speed but relaxing motoring. The new independent rear suspension transformed the roadholding and ride. Introduced in Roadster and Fixed Head Coupé styles, both were blessed with pure, very beautiful sculptural shapes. The E-type was, of course, another enormous success with the vast majority being exported.In 1964 the 3.8 engine was replaced by a new 4.2-litre version, and two years on a 2 + 2 model was added. In ’67, the three styles were upgraded and named the Series 2 models (hence the earlier cars have become known as the Series 1 models). A year later Jaguar introduced Sir William’s (he had been knighted in the ’50s) final masterpiece, the brilliant XJ6 saloon. Still powered by the extraordinary XK engine, the car offered new standards of ride and refinement, thanks to Bob Knight who was pre-eminent in this field.Another superb engine was introduced in 1971. As with the XK engine, Jaguar’s V12 was the first to be produced in quantity and enhanced Jaguar’s reputation for engineering integrity and innovation. Once again, the engine was intended for the XJ12 saloon but was offered in the lower volume sports car first. The V12 E-type was known as the Series 3 and offered in just Roadster and 2 + 2 forms.On the large saloon front the completely new Mark X was launched in 1961. The smaller saloon range was supplemented by the S-type and 420 models, and the Mark X became known as the 420G. In 1967 the Mark 2 models became known as the 240 and 340 (the 3.8 was dropped). With the announcement of the updated Series 2 XJs, an additional and very stylish 2-door Coupé model was added in six-cylinder- and V12-engined versions. In 1975 the XJ-S replaced the classic E-type and the XJ saloon continued to be updated, including the very advanced all-aluminium cars, until replaced in 2009 by a completely new design.
In the ’90s Jaguar dropped the XJ-S and launched the XK8 which was reminiscent of the E-type; the later supercharged version was known as the XKR. These were replaced by the completely new all-aluminium XK and XKR.
A new generation S-type saloon, a new small Jaguar – the X-type and X-type Estate – plus the current XF model complete our brief look at the Jaguar story.

A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

After chasing it for more than two years I was finally rewarded with two displays of Aurora Australis (Southern lights) within a week visible from Mornington peninsula, not far from Melbourne. The nights were warm an clear and the Moon was not in the sky either - I could not have asked for better conditions.
The red color of this aurora is caused by the charged particles from the Sun exciting oxygen atoms high in the Earth's atmosphere. Hopefully there will be more to come as Sun's activity increases in 2012-13.
Being able to photograph it all night I came up with a nice video. The brighter Aurora happened on January 22nd and the smaller one, featured in the middle section, was from January 16th, followed by a rather bright Moonrise.

My FIRST work in the field of (Photo Manipulations), the aim of this photo is clarification of how to find and get success.In this photo the (CHEST OF SUCCESS) is hidden in a dark and ruined room and it is very difficult to be found, despite that the person in this photo could find the room and the CHEST OF SUCCESS after a great effort, but still couldn't reach the SUCCESS, he just standing over there and looking at the upper part of the chest surprisingly in which the word (SUCCESS) is written on it, and he doesn't have any idea how to reach it.In the lower right corner there is a wooden stair which is hidden in the shadow of the chest and it is the only way to reach the CHEST OF SUCCESS.The whole story is to clarify that it is very difficult to get SUCCESS, and it doesn't depend on a great effort alone but also wisdom, doing every movement in your life precisely and finally DEPENDING ON THE GOD.At the end if you want to be a Successful person in life you should work hard and keep trying after the failures beside that you must observe the TIME because if you do not do that IT WILL DESTROY YOU.

For Get Pushed, Round 12, I was paired with the incomparable Nikonsnapper, whose work is stunning, and to be honest, a bit intimidating to someone like me who is relatively new to photography. However, I was thrilled to
be paired with him, and he immediately spotted the lack of landscapes in my photostream.
He said "There doesn't appear to be too many landscapes in your stream, so I would like to see an urban landscape, in monochrome with a dramatic sky."
So... at my oldest daughter's advice, I drove towards the San Pedro Bridge in Long Beach, racing the sun before it set. I think I would have made it too, had I not taken a wrong turn on the 710 freeway. I had to exit and turn around, but before I could get back on the freeway, I drove over this bridge and saw the LA river, very low this time of the year, but the sky was perfectly reflected in it. Serendipity. So I pulled over, grabbed my camera, and ran like the paparazzi after Lindsay Lohan exiting the courthouse in order to catch this.

For 1955, the entire senior line of Packards received an extensive design update that freshened the last restyling that was done in 1951. Under designer Richard A. Teague, the Senior Packards received a more modern grille design, "Cathedral"-styled rear tail lights, hooded headlight housings and a new exterior trim layout that afforded Packard the ability to offer two- and three-tone paint combinations with the simplest of masking patterns. While Packard could not afford a whole new greenhouse for the passenger compartment, new trim at the base of the rear pillar made it look like it had a redesigned roofline. The cars were also outfitted with a wrap-around windshield, thus bringing it in line with American automobiles of the era. Inside, upholstery and bright work was also freshened and the cars received a new dashboard layout faced with a machined-look stainless steel facing.
For 1955, the Patrician was offered as a four-door sedan only and Packard produced 9,127 of the cars.
Changes for 1956 included a revised headlight housing that exaggerated the front peak further forward. The area around the headlight was painted black to give the effect of greater depth. The car also received a different grille texture. During the 1956 model year, 3375 Patricians rolled off Packard's production line before the model was dropped by the ailing carmaker.
[Text from Wikipedia]
James Nance knew his company was in trouble well before it introduced the 1956 Packard Executive. As early as October 1955, he had lamented the month's sales statistics, telling Roger Bremer, "everything possible is going to have to be done to get this thing turned around -- and fast...get the business operating in the black [and] get the operations in line to come closer to the targets that we gave to the financial institutions of a break-even point of 65,000 units and a $10 million profit at 80,000 units."
In February 1956, he advised Bob Laughna of Purchasing and Production Control to "retrieve all copies of [our sales] figures and take them out of circulation, for obvious reasons. Please send me instead a program predicated on moving a wholesale domestic minimum of 60,000 units for the calendar year of 1956...[Fifty thousand] is our required minimum to keep from incurring horrendous losses."
Packard-Clipper combined production hit nearly 70,000 for calendar 1955, mostly on the strength of the heavily facelifted line of cars and new V-8 engines; but for all of 1956, the figure would plummet to 13,432.
Packard-Clipper Division had planned an all-new body for 1957, with the Executive sharing fully the bodywork of the senior Packard Patrician, Four Hundred, and Caribbean. Clippers were slated to share a smaller body with Studebakers. But the new body program was going to cost $30 million, the greater part of a $50 million line of credit S-P needed. By spring 1956, inevitably influenced by the sales figures Nance couldn't hide, the insurance companies that backed the corporation refused to lend more.
Various doomsday plans were then considered, including moving the whole operation to Studebaker's South Bend plant, discontinuing Packard, discontinuing Clipper, discontinuing them both, or discontinuing the entire company by filing for bankruptcy. Nance desperately tried to develop bailouts: body sharing with Lincoln, a buyer to take Packard-Clipper off his hands -- but none of these worked out.
By late May 1956, S-P was faced with the only offer short of bankruptcy, a management agreement with Curtiss-Wright, the aircraft manufacturer. In exchange for needed operating funds, Studebaker-Packard -- "gasping like a wounded bass," in the words of auto writer Tom McCahill -- accepted Curtiss-Wright management, distribution of Daimler-Benz vehicles in the United States, and, by July, consolidation of all automotive operations at South Bend.
The last day of production at Packard's plant on Conner Avenue in Detroit, where assembly had shifted for 1955, was June 25, 1956. That day 24 Clippers and 18 Packards were driven off the line. Production for the model year was 18,482 Clippers and 10,353 Packards, including the 2,815 Packard Executives.
[Text taken from auto.howstuffworks.com/1956-packard-executive4.htm]
The final Packard built (that was a true Packard and not a badge-engineered Studebaker President) was a black Patrician sedan, and it rolled off the Packard assembly line on June 25, 1956.
This Lego miniland-scale Packard Patrician of 1956, being the last true luxury Packard, marks a sad epitaph to the once-supreme luxury car maker in the US. The model has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 84th Build Challenge, our 7th birthday, to the theme, - "LUGNuts Turns 7…or 49 in Dog Years", - where all the previous build challenges are available to build to. In this case Challenge 10, - "Sympathy for the Underdog". In so many ways, post WWII Packard could have made it through - it consistently outsold Cadillac between the wars - and yet, it all came to no avail.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at my photo and make a comment or Fave. Your thoughts are much appreciated.
For those unaware of the term "common" it refers to, in general terms, land owned by one person over which another person is entitled to exercise rights of common the most widespread right being that to pasture cattle, horses, sheep or other animals with these rights generally exercisable in common with others. However, in legal terms, the situation is more complex. There is no single definition of the term 'common land', or indeed of 'common' or 'common rights'. On both Lincoln's South and West Commons horses are to be found and although no longer seen I can remember cattle being on the West Common many years ago.
Well, I went back through over 100 photos tonight and re-edited them! I thought I was done a couple days ago for December's LA Gallery show, but art is never done until it's done, and even then. . . Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for December's Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

Northern High School reminds me of some of Albert Kahn's work at the University of Michigan, but it was designed by the noted local firm of Malcomson and Higginbotham in the mid 1910s. The firm designed or consulted on many school buildings in the city. In fact, the Higginbotham School was named after one of the firm's partners.
For this building in particular, note the amount of window space to wall area at the facade. When the school was built, it stood at the northern part of the city, on the main artery--Woodward Avenue. Its name continued the pattern of naming high schools in the city after compass points (Eastern, Western, Northwestern, Northeastern, Southwestern and Southeastern).
Northern was recently nominated for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.

For many travellers Kathmandu was the end of the road, the ultimate destination where the Himalayas meet the heavens. Bobby Hughes was an Intertrek driver. He writes, 'That was an exceptional time spent in exceptional places. the job was the best one I ever had in my life. We never could get bored: stroppy border guards, even stroppier Bedford trucks, and females passengers who let drivers get away with things only rock singers could!'

Beetaloo Valley and Reservoir.
This Garden of Eden in the Lower Flinders Ranges was first occupied by white pastoralists in 1844. Messrs W and J Jacob took out an annual licence or leasehold over the Beetaloo Run in that year. The name for their run was taken from a local Aboriginal word for the springs and creek there. Beetaloo Valley in the Lower Flinders Ranges is just east of Port Pire and Beetaloo Creek rises near the Bluff (724 metres high) and the Wirrabara Forests to the north. Most of the valley is gently undulating with ranges to the west and the east and it is an altitude of 300 to 400 metres high. The lookout over the Beetaloo Reservoir is 370 metres above sea level. This was excellent pastoral country and in 1851 when 14 year government leases were available for runs the Beetaloo Run was taken over by J Logan who some years later sold the leasehold to John Reid. They were sons of John Reid one of the founders of the town of Gawler in 1839. The 21,000 acre leasehold Beetaloo run was sold by John Reid in 1882 top another pastoralist but other land in valley was taken up for farming and orchards and vegetable growing at this time. Within a couple of years there was a nursery and several orchards in the valley. The Hundred of Howe was not fully surveyed and declared until 1891 after the completion of the Beetaloo Reservoir. ( Mr J Howe was an MP from Port Pirie and four times a Cabinet Minister before 1900 and he was a politician who strongly supported the Beetaloo scheme). The main route to Beetaloo Valley in the 19th century was through Hughes Gap behind Port Pirie and near Warnertown. The school at Beetaloo Valley was built in 1885 and opened in 1886. It was originally called Hughes Gap School but this was later changed to Beetaloo Valley School. The Beetaloo Institute was erected in 1886 and during the construction of the reservoir some church services were held in it as well as teetotal social functions!
As early as 1882 newspapers were discussing the option of building a reservoir at Beetaloo to provide reliable disease free water for the Moonta, Kadina and Wallaroo as well as Port Pire and other northern towns. Government officials first visited the site in 1883 and the water was tested for purity in Adelaide. Parliament considered the scheme in June of 1883 and planning work began soon after on the engineering of the pipeline from Beetaloo to upper Yorke Peninsula. One Member of Parliament who pushed very hard for this project was the Mayor of Wallaroo David Bews the Minister for Education in the 1880s and the MP for Port Pirie John Howe. Detailed engineering reports were tabled in Parliament in September 1885 and following 18 years of agitation by the Copper Triangle town the bills for creating the reservoir were passed in both houses of parliament in December 1885. In 1886 Beetaloo was transformed as hundreds of workers and families descended on the valley. They lived in tents near the reservoir works. A stone hotel was built and opened and it operated for several decades before becoming a residence. The cost of the reservoir was estimated at £72,000 and the cost of the pipeline to Moonta a further £128,000. This was massive expenditure for a colonial government in the mid-1880s. At the time it was seen as a work of national importance and it was the largest reservoir in the southern hemisphere at the time. The engineering of the reservoir was precise and it was intended to be built of local stone but after several attempts none could be located and concrete was used instead. The dam wall was to be nearly 600 feet wide, 100 feet high and have a curvature based on a radius of 1,414 feet to ensure the correct curvature for the weight of water behind the wall. Work the reservoir proceeded at the same time as work on the major pipeline to Moonta. As the scheme neared completion the issues of the day revolved around the cost of water to households in the Copper Triangle and the taxes required from across the state for the project. Some issues never change. Work was completed in October 1890 so that Moonta residents would have water during the summer of 1891 and beyond.
After the Reservoir was completed the valley returned to its former peaceful state. An Advertiser newspaper report in 1907 referred to it as fertile oasis. The valley had received 22 inches of rain that year and the wheat crops were expected to deliver up to 40 bushels to the acre ( many SA farms produced about 8 bushels to the acre). It claimed crop failure was unknown here and the valley had apple, pear, cherry, apricot, peach and orange orchards. Vines had not been successful and had been rooted out. Tomatoes and other vegetables were also grown for the Port Pire and regional town markets. It was a veritable Garden of Eden.

Nikon D810 Photos Pro Women's Surfing Van's US Open Sports Photography Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD !
I shot in DX mode which crops away the extra pixels and takes me 1.5X closer while allowing for up to 7 FPS with the Nikon D810's Nikon MB-D12 Battery Grip using the 8 AA battery option! 8 Duracels took me through around 3,000 shots no problem--maybe more! I was shooting at the equivalent of 900mm with the 1.5x crop factor! Pretty close! Had I gone with the Nikon D4s, I would have gotten 12 fps, but no DX crop factor, as the sensor has only around 14mp, compared to the d810's 36 megapixels! Sure the larger pixel size on the Nikon D4s full frame sensor comes in handy indoors or at night, but in the bright sun, there's more than enough light for the smaller pixels in crop mode! Sure we lose some pixels from the outer edges when shooting in DX crop mode, but most of those pixels would be cropped away in lightroom anyway. And the smaller files make the memory cards last longer, while also upping the FPS to 7 shots per second! Not quite 12 FPS, but still awesome and enough I felt!
What a beautiful way to test the Nikon D810 and Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens for sports photography!
