Lodhie Foundation sets up Basketball at Chhor Boys High School in Umerkot District of Sindh Province in Pakistan on Jan29, 2014
The Basketball system was built, installed and game initiated by the fine team of Shaantech KEPZ Karachi in collaboration with students, teachers, staff of the Chhor Boys school. This team game initiative is part of our poverty alleviation and human development work being introduced in many unprivilaged rural areas and villages of Sindh as a start.
Team sports are equally as important as education in developing world class citizens.
Why I picked Basketball Halfcourt to Sindh villages and now schools. 1) All ages have fun playing it 2) Can be set up in any small area of village, home, school or factory 3) Very low cost set up and material 4) Very easy to learn to play 5) Teaches teamwork to win 6) Teaches you to stay focused, be unselfish 7) Gives very healthy exercise 8) Length of game only 1 hour or less 9) Encourages and allows participation of family, friends, teachers
I took this photograph at Mc Lean's corner during the Invited Pre-1961 Sports & GT Cars Race at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011. It's Ned Spieker in his 1948 Frazer Nash High Speed leading the 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 of James Campbell. The Frazer Nash, which is chassis 421/100/004, has a 2-litre Bristol engine and was originally delivered to a Frantisek Dobry of Czechoslovakia in December 1948. After Harold Adlington and Norman Culpan finished in third place at the 1949 Le Mans 24 Hour race in Frazer Nash High Speed chassis 421/100/008 subsequent cars were known as Frazer Nash Le Mans models.
This dune is the highest point on South Manitou Island. It's a long hike, but once you arrive, there's reason to celebrate!!
Loggerhead Shrike - Peacock's Pocket Loop, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida
High visibility not only means that everything can see you, but that you can see everything! Such is the nature of predatory birds, that in their effort to see their prey, they open themselves to being seen by their prey. But they more than make up for that by simply being smarter and better at what they do than the critters they eat.
We were riding elephant and already in high position to view wildlifes but still we had to look up the peacock standing on the very high branch of the tree... maybe about 20-30 meter high.
One said ..never know that peacock can fly and fly that high.. Me too, only see thwem in zoo. Seeing peacock on my next photo

I skipped last weekend getting a fresh haircut so I thought my friends at Flickr might enjoy a few pics of me giving myself a little trim.
These 2 beauties were really 'motoring' along.
Shows you what 2 horse power really means!
These shots were taken thru the front windscreen of a moving car.
Kind of a Betty Boop look here with just a hint of pin-up. Shot with one light on white background. ProPhoto strobe with 7' White/Black Parabolic Umbrella.

Shot at wide angle (24mm) which added to the Betty Boop look. I kind of like the distortion but would like to hear what others think. The jury is still out.
The background was gray sooc but I changed it to high key in CS5.
Developed in LR3 + PS CS5
Stan Flemming Jr. organized this shoot.

I have just a few girlfriends from high school that I still consider myself very close with. They have seen me blossom from a dorky freshman, to a confident career women - and I them. They were with me through the growing pains of first loves, prom traumas, and the final summer before college when I thought my world was over. They're still with me in Chicago and we still celebrate big events together (this photo is us at Jami's Bachelorette Party). In fact, we just had a little walk down memory lane last week and took out our old photo albums from high school. The clothes, the braces, the hair.... classic. Why were huge colorful glasses so cool in 93?!
Michael's High-Lite Spinner at the Rumba on the Lumber event. My wife and I usually go together to this event but she had to work. I still took the camera and snapped a few pictures at the festival.
