“The Three Laws of Robotics: The Zeroth Law
1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm;
2: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law;
3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law;

I ROBOT
This is one of the first books I ever read after leaving school and it took me down the long road of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, J G Ballard, Frederic Pohl, Jack Williamson, Robert A Heinlein and so many others.
So this is a little tribute to those imaginative folk who put pen to paper, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The little clock character was a birthday gift of many moons ago, he seemed appropriate to go on the shelf too. A bit cranky now, he doesn’t stand up by himself but leans in a very casual way and is a good timekeeper.
The next bit is a bit weird, I don’t own a copy of Asimov’s “I Robot” because it’s not in Penguin Books and I only collect Penguin Science fiction but I might make an exception and buy it along with the ‘Foundation' series at some time.
Hope some of you have enjoyed Sci/Fi too and have appreciated those writers and their imaginations. Here are a couple of other titles that I think have gone down in history as classic fiction.

#Pareidolia
Tom knew he was destined for greater things. He was fed up with his kitchen job, day in, day out scraping the ceramic hob whenever the stupid humans in the house had been unattentive (again) and something had boiled over. Something he knew would never happen to him. Didn't they know he was an intelligent, sentient being? In his dreams, he was a fully-fledged robot with superpowers, and a famous, Michelin star-decorated Chef. His robotic swiftness and razor-sharp mind would revolutionise how the world cooked and ate. But here he was, inside a kitchen drawer, waiting for the next "Great Boil-over". As he was about to work himself into a rage of indignity (while his drawer mates sighed, eyes rolling: "Oh no, not another tantrum, Tom, come on!"), he heard the distant voice of one of the humans, and then the drawer opened. "There you are! Great! Come on, I need your help with a photo assignment, it will be fun!" "Finally she recognises my true talents", Tom huffed more to himself. "Well, it's not as if you were doing the scraping job alone, right? Because behind every ceramic hob scraper is a human hand that leads it. Isn't it?", the human said. "No need to be so over-dramatic...", Tom grumbled. But inside, Tom was smiling.
I didn't expect this to be so straightforward. Usually, pareidolia just "happens" but it's difficult when I'm deliberately looking for it. So I rummaged through the kitchen shelves and drawers with little hope of finding something I hadn't already used for a pareidolia-themed photo before, such as the old phone (its underside resembled E.T. but it has long been discarded) or the toaster's crumb tray (that had a surprisingly happy smile). But then I found "him", the unfortunate ceramic hob scraper that (or rather: who) has an even nastier job than the crumb tray and the cutest surprised face. On its flipside, there is the "GS" logo (GS = "Geprüfte Sicherheit", "Tested Safety", a voluntary certification mark for technical equipment), the production number, and the manufacturer's logo which I first misread as "TOM" (wrong glasses) but says "TCM". So "Tom" it was.
To make Tom look more interesting than possible with just the bland steel tone and the hint of rust on the pretty well-used blade aka his "hair", I used my makeshift colour filters to jazz him up a little and enhance the robot look.
A first single test shot already looked nice but since an image like this works best with all-over sharpness, I did in-camera stacking (15 Raw files combined in Helicon Focus, method B, R 8, S4). Size info: Tom is 4,5 cm/1,77 inches at his widest.
HMM, Everyone!

Although I posted an image of ‘I Robot’ a little while ago I did so without the book. I am now correcting that which for me is good. Glad that I found a copy of one of the ICONIC books of the modern age.
Also to say, I will be catching up with all those that favoured and commented on my photography over the last couple of weeks. I have spent those weeks in and out of Doctors and Hospitals having not very delightful investigations. Hopefully the results of which will be positive for me. All the very best and stay safe.

Week fifteen...different use of props this week and shot through my vintage Halina...inspired by the sci-fi movies of the 1950's...a cross between "The day the earth stood still" and "iRobot"...
“Do you have information that there's an android in the cast? I'd be glad to help you, and if I were an android would I be glad to help you?"
"An android," he said, "doesn't care what happens to another android. That's one of the indications we look for."
"Then," Miss Luft said, "you must be an android.”

The Hereios of We’re Here! are posting signs of intelligent life today at iRobot.
Also for the Kreative Prople Text Art contest 63.
Are we all robots controlled by the i-Gadgets today i.e. iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac, iTune, iCloud, iManiac?

Driven in the movie I, Robot (2004). At the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California
During its temporary closure, the Petersen is offering several free virtual tours, including of its vault collection. There are more cars in the "Vault" than on display in the main museum. See www.petersen.org/
It was raining earlier today so I didn't get a photo at lunch.
This idea came to me on the bus on the way home. Inspired by the scene in "I, Robot" in the warehouse where all the robots are lined up.

I went to the Art Shanty Projects last weekend on Medicine Lake in the Twin Cities suburb of Plymouth, MN. The ASP is a combination sculpture park and artist community event inspired by all the ice fishing houses that appear on Minnesota's frozen lakes this time of year. Artist design and show off all different kinds of creative interactive structures that are on display over a 4 weekend period.
This robo theme shanty is called 'Robot Reprise', visitors can crawl inside the bot, move the body and arms around, spy through a periscope mounted on it's head, and shoot rockets out its hands.
The Art Shanty Project is over for 2012 but they will be back - check'em out on Flickr: www.flickr.com/groups/artshantyprojects/pool and: artshantyprojects.org
Robbie plans to work through all 31 volumes of Isaac Asimov’s Library of the Universe. This volume is about the planet Uranus.

I love my iRobot. Press the remote or program it, and it vacuums the room and returns to the charging dock. This is an upgrade from the very first series of iRobot I bought years ago.
