I'm wearing the Charm Banshee gacha set from Zenith, while Jem is in a currently vintage skin and outfit named Solaris, from Fallen Gods. (Word is that it's on the schedule to be updated with current-generation elements.)

Bemedaled WW2 veteran, photographed here fundraising for the Royal British Legion in Liverpool in 2014.
I've just learned that sadly, he passed away four years after I took this pic. He died aged aged 96 in 2018.
„ Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen ! We are now live at the annual New Year Fundraising Gala, organized by the ICC.
We have some very interesting guests, who are willing to donate their money for various projects, that need financial help.
The most impressive apperance yet is definately Mr. Ordo Skirata ! Mr. Skirata is known for his extrodinary collection of suits and his gallant behaviour and today he has given his best to make an impression. Mr. Skirata arrived in his new personal submarine right here on peer 21 ! And now we can see him coming down the ramp of his vehicle. Mr. Skirata , may I ask you some questions ?“
„Of course you can, my dear and call me Ordo, please.“
„Oh, well....Ordo...what an apperance, what a show ! Where in the world did you acquire a submarine ?“
„As you might know, I recently finished my new movie, which is about a team of deep sea scientists. The submarine was part of the props and I thought it would be nice to use it for promotional matters.“
„Ah, I see, well I think a lot of people are willing to watch that movie.“
„Oh, they always want to see my movies...“
„The role of a captain seems to fit you quite well.“
„Oh, no, I don’t think so. People always say that, but I’m not a good captain in any way.“
„Now, let me asky you the last question. To which project will you be donating money today. I mean, there were over 63 projects to choose from.“
„You won’t belive it, but I couldn’t narrow it down on any of them, so I decided to donate a bit of money to every project...“
„To every project !? That is quite generous ! – Ladies and Gentlemen, that was Mr. Ordo Skirata ! Thank you very much Ordo !“
„It was a pleasure !“

Quite a difficulte MoC to start the year with. Originally it was planned to feature a bunch of lighting effects, but it ended up just having some LEDs in the building. The submarine was kind of a last minute idea, but it adds a funny element.
See more of Mr. Grievous and Ordo here.
Also have a look at the inside of the building here.
Hope you like it !

Participated in the Achilles St. Patricks Day 5k race - walk/run. Froze my ass (-15°C) but it was worth it. I wanted to take more photos, but my hands refuse to co-operate and my legs kept on moving. Sometimes, you need to choose between being a participant in an event and being a photographer - it is hard to mix the two. I learn as I go.

Light The North charity fundraising art trail goes live on Monday 9th August 2021, this is a regular fundraising event that raises much needed cash for various good causes each year , this year it is Clan Cancer Support , the lighthouse sculptures have already started to be placed in their designated spots in time for the launch on the 9th August , I have tracked some of those down and hopefully will complete the trail over the coming weeks , posting all my shots of my progress in this album .
Fifty stunning lighthouse sculptures are being installed this week, ready for the launch of Clan’s spectacular Light The North art trail.
The 2.5 metre-tall pieces, painted by some of the UK’s most talented artists, will shine a light across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Orkney and Shetland from Monday August 9, when the trail is officially launched.
Organised in partnership with Wild in Art, which helped deliver Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail in 2019, Light The North will be a major fundraiser for cancer support charity Clan.
The trail also aims to provide a “light in the dark” for those battling cancer and their families.
A team of Clan’s Light The North volunteers and drivers have now started delivering the 50 lighthouses to their specific locations.
Locals and visitors alike will soon be able to find out where each lighthouse is thanks to an interactive map that will be shared by the P&J and Evening Express when the trail officially kicks off.
Little lighthouses created by local schools for Light The North trail
Each of the 50 lighthouses is unique and backed by a local business. Evening Express, the P&J and Original 106 are among some of the sponsors to have their own dedicated lighthouse.
In addition to the main sculpture trail, 76 little lighthouses created by school pupils will be displayed all over the north of Scotland, including in Aberdeen Science Centre and a number of local businesses. The Evening Express and P&J will share an interactive map of the little lighthouses too.
The lighthouse sculptures were gathered and stored at Shore Porters in Aberdeen ready to be delivered and installed across the north and north-east.
More than 70 schools got involved in Clan’s education initiative which was created to give young people across the north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland the opportunity to get creative and help their school or group design a little lighthouse to be featured on the trail.
Lighthouse sculptures to be auctioned off to raise funds for cancer charity
At the end of this year’s Light The North trail, which will be present in each of the areas where Clan Cancer Support operates, all the main 50 lighthouse sculptures will be auctioned off to raise funds for the charity so that it can continue supporting people affected by cancer.
Looking good, Darren Hill, communications and marketing manager with Clan, helping prepare the lighthouses.
Fiona Fernie, Clan’s head of income generation and business development, said: “Clan helps people live with and beyond a cancer diagnosis, but we need your help to continue to be there for them. We’ve seen high demand for our services while facing a significant drop in our income.
“Cancer is not going away, and our services are more indispensable than ever, so we want to encourage everyone to get out and support Clan through Light The North.”
Clan’s Light The North Farewell Weekend will take place from Friday October 29 to Sunday October 31 and the auction is planned for Monday November 1.
This is yours truly with my better three quarters, captured with my phone by a staff member at today’s MS Awards Ceremony in London.
‘Kiss Goodbye to MS ‘ is a fundraising challenge by the MS Society UK challenging people to give up something during the month of May. The aim of this is to raise money for research into the condition . Huw himself is giving eating up cheese ;-)
" Some 110,000 are diagnosed with MS across the UK, a neurological condition which creates a disability unique to the individual. There is no cure and so the MS Society for (which I volunteer) through its fundraising, supports research to provide disease modifying drugs, seek to find a cure whilst simultaneously providing support across the UK to all affected by MS"
I would love to use this as my Photo a Day but being a stickler for rules, as mentioned above I didn’t take it myself.
A few weeks ago, I was asked by a fellow photographer (who also happens to be a corgi owner..) if I'd be interested in taking some portraits at a fundraising event his corgi club ( Corgi Racing Society ) was hosting to raise money for the Midwest Animal Rescue & Services. I accepted the opportunity, and had a lot of fun shooting quick, impromptu portraits, as well as a ton of candid shots.

Fridge magnets spell 'fundraising'. I created this at the fridge door wall at the Eden Project, Cornwall.
On January 7th 2011, a fundraising event was organised at The Third Door (previously the famous Medina) to help the Forest Cafe, struggling financially, to keep open. It closed none less but reopened a few months later in a new location in Tolcross, and still is to this day.
