The camera is back in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES).
This is a typical scene in the DTES where drug users inject their illegal drugs, unsupervised.
There are safe injection sites available but many choose not to use them.
Note the injection needle in his mouth while he pressures his arm to find a vein to inject.
Supervised injection sites offer a kit for users. The kit contains a blue stretch rubber strap users can wrap on their arm to pop up a vein for injection. This man may have lost his strap.
Injecting alone is scary as the street drug supply is often mixed with lethal chemicals.
If this man overdoses he can only hope someone passing by will notice and call 911.
Street deaths from overdose is a small percentage of the overall toll as most die alone in their own home.
The arrival of COVID-19 has made the situation worse as the illegal drug supply line has been interrupted. As a result a more toxic mix is in distribution as the available supply is cut with more dangerous chemicals.
While there are daily media briefings about COVID-19, which has killed fewer than 200 people in B.C., overdoses that have killed more than 700 so far this year receive little more than a monthly mortality update.
The number of drug deaths in each provincial health authority is at or near the highest on record, without a solution in sight.
The DTES is a neighbourhood with many challenges in normal times. With COVID-19 the residents are among the most at-risk. Over 3,000 community members are homeless and thousands more live in overcrowded, single-room housing that makes physical distancing nearly impossible.
The accommodations are without kitchens and rely on shared bathrooms with no access to soap for handwashing. This, compounded with the limited access to food and a safe drug supply, continues to create growing unsafe conditions.

Substance abuse is perpetuated in many ways. Drugs are ingested, snorted, smoked, or injected. Injected drugs are liquids put into the body with a needle and syringe.
The drugs are either injected into a vein (intravenous or IV), the muscle (intramuscular) or just under the skin (subcutaneous). The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that as many as 16 million people around the world inject drugs. Injected drugs include:
Heroin
Methamphetamines
Cocaine
Prescription medications
With the exception of marijuana, almost all drugs can be injected, although heroin is likely the most common. Drugs that come in a tablet form, such as prescription medications, are first crushed into a powder and then dissolved in a liquid such as water before injecting. IV drug use is generally the most popular method of injected drug abuse and creates many health risks and concerns.
Skin infections are also common in IV drug users, and abusers may not know exactly what is in the drug they are injecting. For instance, one study reported in the British Journal for Dermatology discovered that in confiscated injected drugs, 89 percent of them were contaminated with pathogens and 68 percent of the street drug heroin contained multiple or various pathogens. Pathogens cause disease and the presence of these bacteria or fungi may lead IV drug users to develop skin abscesses or infections. Lack of proper sterilization techniques when using needles and syringes to inject drugs may also increase the risks for bacterial infections and diseases. Chronic IV drug use also creates vascular scarring, or “track marks,” which is a permanent and visible side effect of needle drug abuse.

Candid street shot New Orleans.
Time to inject a little bright color back into my photostream.
This is the Pigeon Point Lighthouse, which I've photographed before (and in fact is how most people end up at my photostream, even months afterwards). I was down the coast on Sunday shooting through late afternoon and into sunset.
After shooting down at the rocks during the sunset most of the color seemed to fade from the sky I started making my way back to the car. At this point I noticed that the color and finally hit the clouds looking south, over the lighthouse. They looked lower in the sky than they were, so they lit up later than expected.
Since the sun was setting about 90° to the right I remembered that this was a prime opportunity to use a circular polarizer (which is most effective 90° off-axis from the sun). That caused the sky to darken and let the pink clouds come through. To balance the scene a little more I used a 2-stop ND Grad filter and let some of the bright green of the foreground come through too. I picked this specific spot because it had the most flowers blooming in the foreground.
I'm extremely happy with this shot and how much color could be achieved. I've uploaded the straight out-of-camera low-quality JPG just to emphasize that no post-processing tricks were used to boost the colors. (I'm overly defensive about using photoshop).
Now if only there was a way to make the lighthouse cast those amazingly cool beams of light all-year-around too.

There are always people who regret the Packard automobile has gone for good. Or people who hardly can except Packard is history.
But there are also people who refuse to except this fact and take action. Like Roy Gullickson, an engineer and entrepreneur from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, US.
Read the auction description below and be surprised...
This Packard Twelve prototype was designed by former GM stylist Don Johnson with important input from Roy Gullickson and Lawrence Johnson. Development started in Autumn 1993. This prototype was presented in 1999. A yearly production of at least 2000 items was intended but the necessary investments were not found. It remained with this single prototype.
It was finally offered at an auction in 2014.

Auction description:
573 hp, 525 cu. in. OHV fuel-injected V-12 engine, four-speed GM 4L80E automatic transmission, full-time all-wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel power-assisted anti-lock disc brakes. Wheelbase: 119 in.
Some cars have presence, some cars have panache, some cars have prestige, and some cars have all that and more…like Packards. This is what inspired Roy Gullickson, entrepreneur and engineer, to pursue his dream and build the new Packard Twelve.
It began as an idea among friends during a conversation at lunch in 1991. After successfully securing the trademark rights to build a new automobile with the Packard name, concept development began during September and October of 1993. Engineering and styling work was started in January 1994 and continued through to 1996 with Gullickson and Lawrence Johnson, who were both mechanical engineers with automotive experience. The new Packard Motor Car Company and Twelve prototype were first introduced publicly at the 25th anniversary celebration of Arizona Packards in Tuscon in October 1998.
A full-size styling mock-up was developed after consultation with four professional stylists, who included Don Johnson, the former GM stylist who was responsible for the final version of the Zimmer automobile. The sub-structure is an all-aluminum space-frame chassis and body, making extensive use of proprietary high-strength, heat-treated aluminum extrusions. The special aluminum suspension A-frames and knuckles are heat-treated, then X-rayed and dye-penetrant tested to detect any porosity. Anti-squat and anti-dive geometry are included, along with 13.2-inch four-wheel disc brakes. The completed car weighs in at a comparatively light 3,750 pounds.
Power is supplied by a 573 horsepower, 525-cubic inch, all-aluminum OHV V-12. The engine was tested over a five-year period and is equipped with Delco electronic-port fuel injection, dual catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, and Delco powertrain control modules. Full-time all-wheel drive is managed by a Borg Warner transfer case with a viscous clutch and a 35/65 torque split front/rear. A GM 4L80E four-speed electronic-shift automatic transmission was chosen for effortless touring. Performance is quoted at 0–60 mph in 4.8 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.5 seconds.
Inside, you’ll find fine leather upholstery, hand-finished dark walnut veneers with aluminum backing, power front seats, and power windows and locks. Comfort items also include automatic temperature control, full instrumentation, and an AM-FM radio with a CD player and changer.
Included in the purchase of the vehicle are spare parts, such as door glass, suspension knuckles and A-frames, and taillight lenses, along with a list of components with part numbers and suppliers’ names. Historical notes and materials will be provided with the car, as well as many additional photographs and original artwork.
The car is titled under authorization of federal and state laws for “constructed” vehicles, and therefore, it is not EPA or NHTSA certified. It is truly a unique vehicle and the only one built. According to the consignor, there will be no other. He adds that over $1.5 million has been invested in the cost of engineering and building this one-off, modern-day Packard prototype.
This is one time, perhaps, you’ll have to “Ask the Man Who Owns the Only One.”

New to Bolton Corporation as 262 and latterly Greater Manchester PTE 6762, this East Lancashire bodied Leyland Atlantean led a charmed second life with Kingswinford Fuel Injection Services as a mobile display unit.
It is seen at the UK Coach Rally at Brighton in April 1987.
I put these aside so that I would know what I injected and what I didn't. I injected all of these, plus some others.
Sorry for posting workshop photos so late, but I just have more time now! :) I'll actually post some cool figures and stuff soon, I promise...

The E28 5 series was introduced in 1981 replacing the the 1972-84 E12 5 Series.BMW 520i (E28) (1983)..
Designed by Claus Luthe styling changes to this model included revised headlights, thicker rubber bumper surrounds and large rectangular taillights. Mechanical changes included the addition of a six-cylinder diesel engine (in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms) and an automatic transmission.
The entry level engine was four cylinder a 1.8 litre found in the 518 and later 518i with the remainder of the range powered by six cylinder engines from 2 litre to 3.5 litre petrol and a six cylinder 2.4 litre Diesel in both normally aspirated and Turbo charged guises.
Cars were all well appointed and sold well, creating an unintentional problem for BMW as they squeezed the market for the more expensive 7 Series.

Hudson Motor Car company was founded by auto pioneers Howard Coffin, George W. Dunham, and Roy E. Chapin, and largely funded by department store owner Joseph L. Hudson. In 1910, just one year after it was created, Hudson was the eleventh-largest auto company in America — a country then rife with automakers.
In 1936, Hudson brought out its “radial safety control” or “rhythmic ride” suspension, which used two steel bars as well as leaf springs to suspend the front axle; this let Hudson use longer and softer leaf springs for a smoother ride, while maintaining directional stability. The cars were also much larger inside than other cars. The 1936 engines ranged from 93 to 124 hp, and had a column-mounted gearshift lever to free front seat space.
In 1936, Hudson’s launched new six and eight cylinder models with elegant styling. New features were impressive, including hydraulic brakes - the first ones with a separate safety system that automatically took control in emergencies - as well as a more cushioned ride, draft elimination, and “tru-line steering,” which “enables the car to hold its direction, without swerving or wandering, unaffected by spring action, braking, or road conditions.”
Three models were available (arguably a single car with three variants): buyers could choose a six with a 120-inch wheelbase (at 93 and 100 horsepower, coincidentally the same ratings as Chrysler’s later 2.2 and 2.5-liter fuel-injected engines), or an eight on a 120 or 127-inch wheelbase, boasting 113 and 124 horsepower.
Models made in 1936 included:
•Super Straight 8 Sedan (six passengers, DeLuxe and Custom series, 127 inch wheelbase)
•Super Straight 8 Brougham (six passengers, DeLuxe and Custom series, 120 inch wheelbase, Touring option with curved hatch cover)
•Super Straight 8 Coupe (DeLuxe and Custom series, rumble seat or baggage space, 120 inch wheelbase)
•Super Straight 8 Convertible Coupe (with rumble seat and optional "trunk," 120 inch wheelbase)
•Six Four Door Sedan (six passengers, Custom, DeLuxe, or Touring [with “trunk”])
•Six Custom Brougham (essentially the same as above, but no DeLuxe model)
•Six Custom Coupe (with rumble seat or baggage space)
•Six Custom Convertible Coupe (with rumble seat)
1936 Hudson cars: specifications
• Weight: 2,930 - 3,280 lb
• Six cylinder: 3" bore, 5" stroke, 212 cubic inches, 6.25:1 compression
• Eight cylinder: 3" bore, 4.5" stroke, 254 cubic inches, 6:1 compression
•Peak horsepower, standard engines, reached at 3,800 rpm
•Optional engines: compression ratio 7:1
•Ignition: metric plugs, full automatic advance
•Battery: 105 / 125 amp-hour (six and eight cylinder)
•Transmission: three-speed manual with optional Electric Hand for “pre-selective power-controlled gearshifting.”
•Hudson was based in Detroit, Michigan.
