Malformed II.
Another hidden jewel somewhere in Amsterdam.
This city has much more to offer than canals, windmills and coffeeshops. All you have to do is cycle around during the right day - Dutch summer looks more like a Mediterranean winter!
More Dutch hidden jewels coming up in the next weeks ;)
Btw anyone for LE photography trips? If so, just drop a line..
Have a great week!

This statue portrays the emperor Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, briefly, Claudius, as Jupiter Capitoline. He is seated, wears the âcorona civicaâ, and his features show mature man. The sculpture was found in Caere and belongs to the cycle of Julio-Claudian portraits located inside the city theater. The statue, probably, dates from the 47 AD when Claudius held the office of Censor (47â48 AD) with Lucius Vitellius (Tacitus Annales 11.13.1, 11.25.2â5). If this hypothesis is correct Claudius was sixty-five, and his portrait shows the signs of age. His face has a markedly triangular shape and an expression tinged with melancholy, especially for small eyes frowning. The nose is large and uniform, the thin lips are framed by deep wrinkles on the cheeks.

Untitled - II
One uncut sheet, of folded paper
Designed and folded by Alexander Soukas
This piece was part of a commission I did for an exhibit at the Dana Hall School entitled, "Paper." This piece in particular was constructed as a demo as part of a lecture and class. I realize I haven't uploaded anything origami related in ages! Don't think that I haven't been designing - there's more where this came from!

Behistun I & II
The 2 side by side Parthian era rock relieves known as Behistun I aka Mithridate IIâs audience (Left), and Behistun II aka Gotarzes IIâs victory over Meherdate were carved down the rocky cliff already hosting Dariusâs the Great's stone record .
Behistun I (123-88/87 BCE) has been about completely erased in 1684 by a the carving of an inscription written in Persian, paying tribute to a Safavid local governor. From the initial panel, we can just distinguish a character and 2 caped silhouettes on the left, and a Greek inscription above. Fortunately a Drawing by French traveller Guillaume-Joseph Grelot in 1673 let us know how this relief looked like. On the right, King Mithridate II standing, overlooks 4 noblemen, may be some of his satraps. The king hails his hand up with 2 sticky fingers, some of the other characters hold some objects, one being probably a cup, another being a Nikë, Greek divinity testifying as the above inscription, of the Greek influences the Parthian art included from the Seleucids.
Behistun II has been carved later, during the reign of king Gotarzes II, and was intended to remind and celebrate his victory against his rival Meherdate. The relief was badly damaged by erosion. It shows an equestrian assault: Gotarzes, riding a horse is followed by 2 other knights, and kills an enemy with his lance, blowing the unfortunate off his horse. Again, the Greek divinity NikĂȘ is represented above the scene. Such relief, clearly inspired the Sasanian later iconography, as many sasanian rock relief show a similar scene: such as Bahram II at naqsh-e Rostam VII.
Taken at behistun, province of Kermanshah, Iran, May 2009.
I told myself that I would someday rebuild the Mistral. So here she is, the Mistral II. Better than the original and based on the Paris World's Fair 1855 Exhibition on top of Eiffel Tower like iron work. She carries 5 propeller assisted ornithopter fighters with gatling guns and 5 auto gyro bombers.

Strobist: 1 Profoto 600w/s Monolight at 1/8 power thru a ebay version silver beauty dish with a 20degree grid directly overhead of model. 1 acute b600r thru a 10degree grid at backdrop and a 580 EX II witha snoot and a blue gel at 1/64 power shot at the viewfinder of the Duaflex. The only photoshop work is a contrast adjustment and the crop.
This is the Re-Mix II ride. I made the image during the 2015 Indiana State Fair. I'm not sure how I have missed it during previous trips to the Fair, but I'm glad I found it this year.
Nikon D800E Photos of Pretty Blonde Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess standing with a black 45surf surfboard in front of Malibu Sea Caves on El Matador State Beach! A classic goddess! A classic California Surf Goddess--the archetypal blond hair beach babe with pretty blue eyes!
Here is some epic video I shot of the gorgeous goddess at the same time as the stills with the Sony Alpha NEX 6 camera with the 50 mm F/1.8 prime lens for nex6 e mount cameras bracketed to my Nikon D800E (cool bokeh!):

The blue-eyed goddess was modeling the gold 45 revolver gold'n'virtue bikini with the famous golden gun/colt 45 revolver from my favorite film--Sergio Leone's and Clint Eastwood's "Fistful of Dollars!"
Combine the shallow-depth-of-field with Sony NEX-6's latest face-tracking auto focus, and you can see how the moving video keeps the model's pretty blue eyes in focus, while blurring the background! The Sony Alpha NEX 6 has much better bokeh than the cameras I have been using! :)
She was tall, thin, fit, toned, defined, and beautiful!
Modeling the Gold 45 Revolver(TM) Gold'N'Virtue(TM) Bikini! On the barrel of the Gold 45 Revolver is the first word of Homer's Iliad! "RAGE: Sing O Goddess the Rage of Achilles!"
Nikon D800E Photographs of a Beautiful Sandy-Blonde/Brunette Swimsuit Bikini Model shot with the Nikon D800E and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens with a CP--the B W 77mm XS-Pro Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating, all on the amazing Nikon D800E Camera.
Shot in both RAW & JPEG, but all these photos are RAWs finished in Lightroom 5 ! :)
All the Gold'N'Virtue bikinis and 45surf clothes have the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
May the Hero's Journey Mythology Goddess inspire you (as they have inspired me!) along your own artistic journey! Love, love, love the 70-200mm F/2.8 Lens! :)
All the Best on Your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

King Rameses II was also known as Ozymandias in Greek which, in the balance of things, are two pretty impressive names. He is often regarded as one of the greatest, most celebrated and most powerful pharaohs of the Egyptian Empire. A feat which I think we can all agree is pretty special considering the history books are littered with failed, feared and hated kings.
So that, in a nuthsell, was my inspiration for this little number. I came across the idea whilst doing a bit of 'research' (or, more accurately, viewing random articles on wikipedia) during a slow afternoon when i came across the big man. You might say "That isn't research" but you'd be wrong. Strictly speaking I was just amusing myself on the internet but inspiration strikes when we least expect it and i've read some pretty amazing stuff pressing the random article button. So therefore it was work. Sometimes something a bit different can recharge the old tanks. As it happens I also know a crow called Rameses but that is a different story entirely...
Cheers

QE II, a waterfront venue pub and bistro, is also a hotspot for morning shooting in Penang. In contrast of its happening at night, morning at QE II had shown endless calmness.
Weather was not too bad when we arrived at the spot but as the sun rises, stormy cloud gradually cover the whole sky. The side lit QEII has a golden tone that stand out very well in this moody scene
Canon 5D Photos of Beautiful Blonde Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess!
I also shot some video with the Nikon D800 at the same time which you can see here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWjSVRGuenQ which I finished in Adobe Premiere Pro 6.0! :)
The photos were shot with the Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLRs.
She was tall, thin, and fit with long blonde hair and pretty blue eyes! A goddess!
May the goddess inspire you along a hero's journey of your own making! :)
The Pz Kpfw VI Ausf B Tiger II, also known as the Royal Tiger or King Tiger.
This 68-tonne tank had a crew of five and was equipped with an 88mm main armament and two 7.92mm machine-guns. Commanded by Sepp Franzl, it was was part of SS Panzer Battalion 101 in Normandy in June 1944. Its transmission broke down near Beauvais and it was abandoned by its crew before being shot up and captured by a Sherman commanded by Sergeant Roberts of the 23rd Hussars.
Recovered back to Britain it was an exhibit at the Royal Military College of Science at Shrivenham for many years before arriving at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset where it is seen above. The hull and turret are coated with Zimmeritt, a sorty of putty that dries hard and was intended to prevent magnetic mines from sticking to the armour.
A total of 489 Tiger IIs were built and were far and away the most powerful tanks in the world in 1944. But there were never enough of them to make a lasting impact.
Der Pz VI Ausf. B Kpfw Tiger II, auch bekannt als der Royal Tiger oder Königstiger bekannt.
Die 68-Tonnen-Tank hatte eine Besatzung von fĂŒnf und wurde mit einem 88mm Hauptbewaffnung und zwei 7,92 mm Maschinengewehren ausgestattet. Von Sepp Franzl geboten wurde, war es Teil der SS-Panzerbataillon 101 in der Normandie im Juni 1944. Die Ăbertragung brach in der NĂ€he von Beauvais und es wurde von seiner Besatzung, bevor er von einem Sherman von Sergeant Roberts der 23. Husaren geboten geschossen und gefangen aufgegeben.
Erholt zurĂŒck nach GroĂbritannien war es eine Ausstellung in der Royal Military College of Science an Shrivenham fĂŒr viele Jahre, bevor bei The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, wo es oben gesehen ankommt. Die Wanne und der Turm werden mit Zimmeritt, einem Sorty Kitt, die schwer trocknet und sollte Magnetminen Kleben an der RĂŒstung zu verhindern beschichtet.
Insgesamt 489 Tiger II gebaut und waren mit Abstand die stÀrkste Panzer in der Welt im Jahr 1944. Aber es gab nie genug von ihnen, um eine dauerhafte Wirkung zu erzielen.
