For those who don’t know, Plastic Man is a stretchy DC superhero similar to Mr. Fantastic. However, Plastic Man is more humorous and has the ability not just to stretch but to transform into any shape. Read more about Plas on Wikipedia.
While looking for comics characters to Lego-fy, I came across this classic Plastic Man cover. I loved the idea and decided that I would have to make it. I’ve been slowly building Plas for some time, but the LUGnuts contest inspired me to finish him up. I figure mine will probably be the only hero vehicle where the hero is the vehicle.
Construction-wise, Plastic Man is surprisingly stable, even with his huge head. I’ve included wheels underneath so he can roll even though his treads are non-functioning. There’s room for a fig inside, just in case Batman wants to climb in and drive one of his teammates.
Plastic Man will eventually be integrated into a scene for my Justice League Museum project.

every year I visit several DJANGO REINHARDT Festivals in France, Belgium, Germany, and The Netherlands; I am not only attracted by the music, but it's also the lifestyle, the laziness, the laid-back mood, the irony, the steady solidarity, the consistency of the community, making their persistent homages to the great Swing guitarist Django Reinhardt...

// in this part of downtown porto there are lots of buildings like this one where the ground floor is occupied with stores and there are these narrow entrances between stores to the stairs leading to the upstairs floors...
i entered number 150 sat on the first or second step and waited... i could see the reflection on the window across the sidewalk and i just waited for someone to pass... i have two similar but on the other one i was standing up and closer to the door so the framing is not this nice... and i love the reflections on the left wall inside number 150 :)

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

I was in a workshop today and my mind started to wander and I began thinking of how we seem to read people just by what we see, when in reality they have an entire other world inside themselves.

ODC - 5/3/2016 - Past Its Prime
Castle Howard is stunning from both the outside and inside. Inside the fairy-tale exterior, are magnificent rooms and furnishings. The inside of the central dome above the Great Hall is especially gorgeous. This description is from the Castle Howard web site: Great Hall is the crowning masterpiece of Vanbrugh's design. Viewed from outside the 70 foot high dome gives Castle Howard a unique silhouette. On the inside it is a triumph of theatre and space. The painted decoration executed by Antonio Pellegrini depicts the Four Elements, the Figures of the Zodiac and the tale of Phaeton falling from his father's chariot. It was rebuilt in 1960-62 after a fire in1940 destroyed much of Castle Howard including the dome. You can still see the cracks on the floor where the debris crashed to the ground.
Surely this photo was shot inside the Inside-out Building, or Lloyd's of London. This is a structure using the architectural design called Bowellism, a design which the services for the building, such as ducts and lifts, are located on the exterior to maximize interior space.
Lloyd's of London is classified as a statutory listed building. A listed building may not be demolished, extended, or altered without permission from town planning authority.
Recently there is rumor that the building has been sold to Chinese insurance group Ping An Insurance for £260M.

It's gloomy out today. Not quite raining, but dark enough to ruin any hope of a natural light shot. So I had to play around with ghetto bathroom lighting again. Fun stuff. This shot is for one of the weekly challenge songs selected by Daynna for Musically Challenged.
I've been having some major self-image issues lately. I'm not saying that to fish for compliments. I know that my friends will always tell me I'm cute and that it's what's inside that matters most. And I love you all for that. But sometimes, despite this 365, I just feel like I spend so much time hiding myself. Even in my pictures, I show what I want to show. It's no more reality than a movie or magazine ad. I think I've spent my whole life worrying about how others see me. And that realization is disconcerting and uncomfortable right now.

Coucou tout le monde!
Je viens de me décider à vous poster une photo de ma petite Mei avec sa nouvelle wig (la 3e que j'essaye sur elle...j'espère la bonne ! ) fraîchement arrivée !
Alors la couleur en vrai est plus "lavender" que sur les photos, la luminosité est vraiment quelconque mais c'était surtout pou vous présenter la miss comme ça !
------------
Hi flickr friend !
This picture is here just to show you her new lavender wig (it's actually the 3rd I tried on her), hope you will like her this way !
The color is more ''lavender" IRL than in this picture, sorry for the bad quality >.<
This is the hallway to the main casino floor inside the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel. As you can see, the marble floor is highly reflective, they must be polishing it every couple hours or so... I was surprised that the hotel was actually bigger than the one in Las Vegas!
Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.

Citée HLM en banlieue toulousaine, Coquito, 45 ans, ancien militaire aujourd'hui handicapé et gravement malade.
Son appartement est son royaume, qu'il quitte rarement pour des séjours à l'hôpital. Avec environ 600€ par mois de revenus à quels rèves peut-il prétendre encore ?
Parmis tous ces objets qui meublent son appartement, chacun à une vraie histoire et font remonter à la surface tous ses souvenirs "d'avant", mais ils contiennent aussi et surtout un rève bien plus beau. Une petite gemme qui ne brille qu'à ses yeux, sa bouffée d'oxygène.
housing in the suburbs of Toulouse, Coquito, 45, former military today disabled and seriously ill.
His apartment is his kingdom, he rarely leaves for hospital stays. With approximately 600 € monthly income which dreams can he say?
Of all these objects that furnish his apartment, each with a real history and are rising to the surface all his memories of "before", but they also contain and above all a dream much more beautiful. A small gem that shines not only his eyes, his breath of oxygen.

En la Isla de Margarita, las iglesias en su interior no son suntuosas, ni lujosas y tampoco tienen mucha decoración. Son iglesias muy abiertas a la luz y preferiblemente dan facilidad a que el aire fresco pueda entrar. Además de ello, las iglesias son pequeñas y los feligreses entran y se pueden sentir como en su casa. Caminan y conversan y a veces entran para tomar un descanso. Folklor de pueblo pero siempre con mucho respeto.
In Margarita Island, inside the churches they are not lavish or luxurious nor have much decoration. They are very open to light churches and preferably easily give the fresh air can enter. Moreover, churches are small and parishioners can come and feel at home. They walk and talk and sometimes come to take a break. Folklore village but always with respect.

Quote from one of my favorite musicians Frank Zappa. I didn't have this quote in mind when I put the trophy next to the record player for this shot, but in hindsight it makes me look like a genius now! I love it when a plan comes together.... even if it never was a plan to begin with.
Rooms here look as though they were frozen in time. Desks, books, beakers, etc all sit on the shelves waiting for someone to come and get them.
I juiced the contrast on this quite a bit, added 3 layers ( one a texture, one a high pass and heck if I can remember the 3rd one. Sorry ) to get the effect of an old picture. Had a great time on a shoot with my friends. Hope to do it again soon.

...using the wisdom from another recent attempt, I made the following changes:
1. Washed the windshield and side windows
2. Positioned the tripod right behind the passenger seat. I was able to secure it used just one seatbelt (the passengers), but it was a very tight squeeze and took several attempts to strap the tripod securely to the seat. One attempt backfired badly (the cut on my nose tells the tale after an awkward encounter with my Manfrotto tripod).
3. Fisheye lens
4. Lots of traffic (driving home from work northbound on I-35). I got all of these (and many more) during about 20 minutes of driving on I-35 between Norman and OKC. It helps that this stretch of interstate has 3 lanes of traffic, street lights in the middle and lots of commercial activity on both sides (neon signs).
...and I think it worked out great :)
One caveat (beside the lack of a convertible!) is cropping the fisheye image. I'm still clueless on defishing (PS + DXO Optics). I don't use PS and only have it on one computer I don't use. So for now I crop. Input on this is very much welcome!
I love this scene inside an osteria, especially the concentration of these rounders and the background with the bottes of wines!

Casa Batlló, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Back to Barcelona for todays upload. This was taken last year when I had my old A77 and the trusty old Sigma 10-20, looking back at these images reminds me how much better my A99 is with the Zeiss glass, in a complete different league and well chuffed I made the leap to FF and invest in some decent glass.
This is one of the rooms inside the Casa Batllo, which was designed by the awesome architect Gaudi. This type of architecture is referred to as 'Organic Architecture' due its organic nature. Gaudi was so far ahead of his time and you often see this type of architecture replicated in modern buildings today.

Location Information
Casa Batlló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazÉ™ βəʎˈʎo]) is a renowned building located in the heart of Barcelona and is one of Antoni GaudÃ’s masterpieces. Casa Batlló is a remodel of a previously built house. It was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudà and has been refurbished several times after that. Casa Batlló evokes the creativity and playfulness of GaudÃ’s work through the incrassate facades and creative floors. GaudÃ's assistants Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, Josep Canaleta and Joan Rubió also contributed to the renovation project.
The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.
The building looks very remarkable — like everything Gaudà designed, only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, is rather astonishing with tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work.
It seems that the goal of the designer was to avoid straight lines completely. Much of the façade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencadÃs) that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the lance of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia, GaudÃ's home), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.

Listen to "Armstrong" - Claude Nougaro : www.radioblogclub.fr/open/120324/nougaro/Claude Nougaro - Amstrong
"Bois d'ébène" était l'expression utilisée par les négriers français quand ils parlaient des esclaves. L'ébène de la clarinette pourrait être le symbole de l'oppression des noirs et l'or des clés celui de la richesse accumulée par les esclavagistes.
La ville de Bordeaux fut malheureusement le premier port négrier de France pendant près de 200 ans.
Bien que Louis Armstrong ait toujours joué de la trompette, cette chanson me paraissait appropriée.
"Ebony wood" was the expression used by the French slave traders when they spoke about the slaves. The ebony of the clarinet could be the symbol of the oppression of Black people and the golden keys the one of the richness accumulated by the slave owners.
The city of Bordeaux was unfortunately the first slave trader harbour in France for nearly 200 years.
Although Louis Armstrong always played the trumpet, this song seemed to me appropriate.
Armstrong
Claude Nougaro
Armstrong, je ne suis pas noir,
Je suis blanc de peau.
Quand on veut chanter l'espoir,
Quel manque de pot.
Oui, j'ai beau voir le ciel, l'oiseau,
Rien, rien, rien, ne luit là -haut.
Les anges ... zéro.
Je suis blanc de peau.
Armstrong, tu te fends la poire,
On voit toutes tes dents.
Moi, je broie plutôt du noir,
Du noir en dedans.
Chante pour moi, Louis, oh oui !
Chante, chante, chante, ça tient chaud !
J'ai froid, oh moi
Qui suis blanc de peau.
Armstrong, la vie, quelle histoire !
C'est pas très marrant.
Qu'on l'écrive blanc sur noir,
Ou bien noir sur blanc,
On voit surtout du rouge, du rouge,
Sang, sang, sans trêve ni repos,
Qu'on soit, ma foi
Noir ou blanc de peau.
Armstrong, un jour, tôt ou tard
On n'est que des os.
Est-ce que les tiens seront noirs?
Ce serait rigolo.
Allez Louis, alléluia !
Au-delà de nos oripeaux,
Noir et blanc seront ressemblants
Comme deux gouttes d'eau.
Armstrong
Armstrong, I am not black,
I am white-skinned.
When you want to sing hope,
What a hard luck.
Yes, I see the sky , the bird in vain,
Nothing, nothing, nothing, shines up there.
Angels... zero.
I am white-skinned.
Armstrong, you’re laughing,
We see all your teeth.
I rather have the blues,
Blues inside myself.
Sing for me, Louis, oh yes!
Sing, sing, sing, that keeps warm!
I am cold, oh me !
Who is white-skinned.
Armstrong, life, what a story!
It’s not very funny.
Whether you write it white on black,
Or black on white,
We see mainly red, red,
Blood, blood, without truce nor rest,
Whether you are, indeed,
Black or white-skinned.
Armstrong, one day, sooner or later
We are only bones.
Will yours be black?
It would be funny.
Go on Louis, Alleluia!
Beyond our tinsels,
Black and white are as like
As two peas.

in 2010 I visited a friend of mine in Paris. On the last day I decided to spend a whole day in the famous Louvre museum. On the right side of this long corridor was the room with the most celebrated painting by Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa.

"Chapel in the Sky" - this is what is at the top of the Chicago Temple Building. It's hard to tell, but this is up in the point of a skyscraper. I'm including a shot with the window open so you can get a perspective.
This chapel holds seating for about 30 people. It was installed up there by Myrtle Walgreen in memory of her husband, who started the Walgreens drugstores. The wood used came from Walgreen's property.
