You know, I put a lot of work into these portraits. I try to match the lighting and the environment to the mood of the subject; I try to make sure I capture not just their image, but also their "look". I really want people to look at them and go, "Wow, I understand them now".
Is it too much to ask then, that the super villain who fought Batman to a standstill, threatened the entire Earth with a new Ice Age, and still managed to capture our hearts NOT. SNEEZE. INSIDE. HIS. HELMET. before I take his photo?
i think i like small spaces because they feel safe and there isn't a lot of room for other things. maybe that is an issue. but i seem to always be looking for two things when I'm out and about: small spaces to crawl inside, and areas of light to flood myself in... (within which to flood myself .... if i'm going to be grammatically correct i guess.) what does that say about my psychological make-up?
i really had other ideas of this space... if i ever get back there, i'm gonna do it. I hate having an idea and an opportunity and then not taking advantage of it. i do that a lot in life too. perhaps that is why i crawl into little spaces ;)

magneticpic.com/blog/2012/12/my-small-big-achievement-in-...
A couple of years ago, in a small Dominican town near the Haitian border, I met and became friend with Georgette Michelen and her family.
Georgette lives in a beautiful, enormous wooden house her father built at the beginning of last century: “The House of the Sun”.
The house has thirty-three external doors and it shines in a decayed, almost surreal beauty, replete of a long, fascinating oral history, virtually embedded in its walls.
With Georgette’s blessing, I embarked in a completely self-financed project: an extensive photographic exploration of the house, for nearly two months.
During my daily visits, I audio-recorded many hours of Georgette’s recollections and photographed the entire house both with traditional techniques and also using VR panoramic photography equipment.
My work was primarily motivated by a sense of impermanence I shared with Georgette; a feeling, perhaps a certainty, that this house and the marvelous mnemonic capsule it embodied wasn’t to last much longer due to Georgette’s age as well as to a brutal agenda of urban “modernization”, quite rampant in many Dominican cities nowadays.
While brainstorming with Georgette on how to save and protect the house in a likely bleak –looking future, I promised her that I would try to edit the best shots as well as some of her thoughts and recollections, derived from the many audio recordings, into a book.
Hopefully, though the book and some web presence, such as an interactive VR panoramic tour of the building, we would find someone interested and able to help preserve the incredible house her father built.
Two years and many working hours later, on my own and with the help of several friends of mine, both a self-published book and a website now exist: my own, humble contribution to preserve at least some of the images, sounds and memories associated with this wonderful building, if not the building itself.
Although a powerful architecture-loving magnate has not contacted Georgette, to help her save The House of the Sun, yet, I recently had the immense pleasure of traveling to see her in the Dominican Republic and present her with a copy of the book.
As she turned the pages, almost in disbelief, her face glowing, she would only stop smiling to thank me over and over again for all my hard work and commitment.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to raise any real money or find anyone to finance the restoration of the building yet, but as I left Georgette inside her mastodon, crumbling home, delightedly immersed in admiring and enjoying what she already called “her” book, I felt this probably was to be remembered as one of my biggest achievements of 2012.
And indeed, this felt a damn good reason to keep doing what I had done for the past thirty years: tell stories worth telling, through my images.
Yep. My girlfriend want me to see with her the new movie of "Twilight". That inspired me to create this kind of selfportrait.
I mean... vampires eat people. Vampires torture for pleasure, they are night creatures, infected souls.
Vampires don't sparkle, damnit! Where are Bram Stoker's creations?
And why so many people call "such a beautiful story about love", to "destroy an entire myth about darkness".
Well, I will go to the cinema. It's my girlfriend, it's her birthday, and I have to do sacrifices... But... you know... I hate that movie. And I hate it's fan's club of hormoned teenies. U_U
________________________
Sí. Mi novia quiere que vaya con ella a ver la última película de "Crepúsculo". Eso me inspiró para crear esta especie de autorretrato.
Eso significa... a ver. Los vampiros comen gente. Los vampiros torturan por placer, son criaturas de la noche, almas infectadas...
Los vampiros no brillan como un vestido de lentejuelas, leñe.
¿Dónde quedaron las creaciones de Bram Stoker?
Y por qué tanta gente le llama "Una bonita historia de amor" a "destruír un mito enorme sobre la oscuridad".
En fin... iré al cine. Es mi novia, es su cumpleaños, y tengo que hacer sacrificios, pero... en fin. Odio esa película. Y odio todo ese club de fans de adolescentes hormonadas. U_U
Inside Brussels' iconic monument.
From wiki:
"The Atomium is a monument built for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. Designed by André Waterkeyn, it is 102-metres (335 ft) tall, with nine steel spheres connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.
Tubes which connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre enclose escalators connecting the spheres which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere provides a panoramic view of Brussels. Each sphere is 18 metres in diameter... The vertical vertex contains a lift which was considered very fast and advanced at the time of building (the speed is 5 m/s)."
There was an earthquake this morning that woke me up. Scared the shit out of me. I got up, ran and stood in the doorway. Does that even do anything? Is that one of those things they just told us to tell us, but that doesn't really do anything other than make you think you're less likely to die? I dunno, but I did it.
I was catching caterpillars with my dog, Baron, when the '89 earthquake hit. Well, I was looking for caterpillars to catch. I was always looking for caterpillars to catch, crossing my fingers that I'd find a monarch caterpillar. My parents would even take me to parks not in our immediate area in search for monarch caterpillars. My parents are fucking rad. Anyway, yeah, never found any monarch caterpillars, only those green ones that turn to small moths, and a couple super poisonous looking ones that built cocoons and never came out of them. Back to 30 seconds before the '89 quake. I saw this green caterpillar on one of my mom's plants. Plastic shovel and bucket in hand(s). I either scoop up the caterpillar, or am within an inch of scooping up the caterpillar when holy-fucking-shitballs-with-peanuts-in-'em, everything starts shaking. I remember a rumbling sound, though I can't say if that was my imagination or not. Can't remember if my dog was barking or not (probably was). I thought I did something terribly wrong, and the Gods were making it known. My mom was screaming at me to get inside.
I didn't go to school the next day, and I heard barely anyone did, so all they did was watch movies and eat popcorn. Why did I always miss out on the cool days at school? And now that I think of it, how do most kids keep from cutting class every day? I used to always pretend to be sick so I wouldn't have to go to school. Then I'd be stuck at home, in my stuffy room with nothing to do, or in the living room watching "One Life to Live" with my mom. Nowadays, kids could be online playing pretty much any fucking video game I wanted but couldn't afford as a kid online somewhere, watching music videos, or playing some cooler shit.
I think my coffee's fully brewed. This note's over.

Lloyd's Building, Lime Street, London, England
Another image upload from London Open house weekend taken in the Lloyds building. This time taken from a different perspective to the other upload I did.
What really caught my eye in this is the repetition of the the spot lights, I wonder how many they used in this building. When editing this image I did have trouble balancing out the light coming in from the roof compared the the dark part of at the bottom (as I am sure many who have taken photos here before have found the same problem) however I think I have managed to balance it out right.
It seems that I have still got quite a few images from the open house weekend still the edit. I am also itching to get back out with my new camera as I have still got a few places I want to visit on my 'to do list.'
Anyway, hope you all have a great Friday and weekend.

Information
The Lloyd's building (also sometimes known as the Inside-Out Building) is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London, and is located at 1, Lime Street, in the City of London, England.
It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis was the management contractor for the scheme.[2] Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The twelve glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK. Like the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the building was highly influenced by the work of Archigram in the 1950s and 1960s.
The building consists of three main towers and three service towers around a central, rectangular space. Its focal point is the large Underwriting Room on the ground floor, which houses the famous Lutine Bell. The Underwriting Room (often simply known as the Room) is overlooked by galleries, forming a 60 metres (197 ft) high atrium lit naturally through a huge barrel-vaulted glass roof. The first four galleries open onto the atrium space, and are connected by escalators through the middle of the structure. The higher floors are glassed-in, and can only be reached via the outside lifts.
I bought these at the German Christmas market that takes place here in Leeds at this time of year. They are made of milk, dark or white chocolate on the outside and lightly flavoured synthetic cream inside. Delicious!

This is my next project: salami platter. It took a while for me to come up with the setup. the 4 salami rolls on the right is quite challanging. The salami keep collapsing! anyway I got away with putting a dry olive inside each roll.

A look inside Volvo B7RLE Eclipse number 193 (SF55 HHC) and Lothian's third new moquette colour is rolled out in 2011, but retaining the stylish graphics of well known buildings and icons in the Capital.
This blue I feel is very appealing and for a comparison with the green and beige (as used on the new Enviro Hybrid's) or the red (on the new Volvo Gemini 2's) have a look at the photos below the commentary here.
La Cappella dei Pazzi, Basilica di Santa Croce, Firenze.

(One more inside)
The Pazzi Chapel is a religious building in Florence, central Italy, considered to be one of the masterpieces of Renaissance architecture. It is located in the "first cloister" of the Basilica di Santa Croce.
Though funds for the chapel were assembled in 1429 by Andrea Pazzi, head of the Pazzi family, whose wealth was second only to the Medici, construction did not begin until about 1441. The chapel was completed in the 1460s, almost two decades after the death of the architect, Filippo Brunelleschi, himself.
The main purpose of the building was obviously for the teaching of monks and other religious purposes. However, a suspected ulterior motive was for the Pazzi family to make a mark on the city of Florence Italy,to show their wealth and power in Renaissance era Italy. The fact that the city was at war with a neighboring city at the time and still acquired the funds to build this chapel showed the importance it had to the Pazzi family and the people of Florence.
Was a work of Filippo Brunelleschi, it now seems that he most probably was responsible for the plan, which is based on simple geometrical forms, the square and the circle, but not for the building's execution and detailing. A façade that he had begun, and of which only the lower register can be seen, was partially obscured by the addition of a porch. The main inspiration for this piece was the Dominican monastery of Santa Maria Novella in Florence Italy.
The size of the chapel was predetermined by existing walls, creating an unusual situation, however, where the space was not square as in the Old Sacristy, which was the model for this building, but rectangular and transept-like and thus in contradistinction to the square, axially-placed altar. Despite this, and its complex history, the building gives us insight into the ambitions of Renaissance architects in their struggle to bring coherence to the architectural language of columns, pilasters, arches and vaults. Between the pilasters in the transept there are tall, blank, round headed panels and, above them, roundels, common Renaissance decorative motifs. The architectural elements of the interior are all in pietra serena ("serene stone"). The building also used bearing masonry in its construction, which is mason units or concrete blocks with lime and man made adhesives to stick them together.
وإن بغيت أسج بين الناس جتني وأحرجتني
لين أجر الونّه اللي من سمعها جـض منهـا
أكتم السر الدفين وجامح أشواقـي عصتني
رهن إشارتها أنا والشوق تامرنا وتنّها
إن خذاني الموت..وإلا يا مبارك.. هي خذتني
وإن قتلني حبها.. ذي غلطتي.. وأدفع ثمنها

Es ist eine falsche Vorstellung zu glauben, man könne nur in einem fest strukturierten Ego-Bewusstsein leben. Ego-Bewusstsein ist ein Zustand, den man durchläuft – durchlaufen sollte, um zur Selbsterkenntnis zu gelangen.
Ohne Dualität – Tag und Nacht – ist Erkenntnis nicht möglich. Selbst-Bewusstsein ist eine freiere, von festen Denkstrukturen und Verhaltensweisen befreite Form von Bewusstsein.

Take the word of one immortal!
Give your soul to me, for eternity
Release your life, to begin another time with her!
End your grief with me, theres another way
Release your life, take your place inside the fire with her!

The Covered Market is a historic market with permanent stalls and shops in a large covered structure in central Oxford, England.
The market is located to the north of the High Street towards the western end between Cornmarket Street and Turl Street. To the north is Market Street. Most of the entrances are from the High Street and Market Street (with four entrances from each street). It is also possible to gain access from Cornmarket via the Golden Cross alley, with its small up-market shops.
The Covered Market was officially opened on 1 November 1774 and is still active today. Located in Oxford, England, the Covered Market was started in response to a general wish to clear 'untidy, messy and unsavoury stalls' from the main streets of central Oxford.
John Gwynn, the architect of Magdalen Bridge, drew up the plans and designed the High Street front with its four entrances. In 1772, the newly formed Market committee, half of whose members came from the town and half from the university, accepted an estimate of nine hundred and sixteen pounds ten shillings, for the building of twenty butchers' shops.
Twenty more soon followed, and after 1773 meat was allowed to be sold only inside the market. From this nucleus the market grew, with stalls for garden produce, pig meat, dairy products and fish.
Today the covered market is still home to numerous traders, around half of which are food retailers, including traditional market shops selling fresh food such as greengrocers and butchers (including some who produce the distinctive, local Oxford sausage). There are also newer gift shops, bakeries and sandwich shops. Most of the shops now are quite a bit larger than the original stall sizes, and so the number of businesses in the covered market is smaller than in the past. It is a bustling area, especially on Saturdays.
The Covered Market may be accessed via the four entrances on the High Street, via Golden Cross (from Cornmarket), and from three entrances on Market Street.
In 2012/2013 Oxford City Council embarked on a process of rent increases. Much protested against[1] by the market traders, these rises have in some cases been in excess of 50%.
The closure of Palm's Delicatessen and Chocology has been linked to these increases. The Palm's Delicatessen unit was empty for two years, then occupied by an outlet of national greetings cards chain Cards Galore. This has caused concern amongst traders, as it is in direct violation of the Market's policy of leasing to independent traders.

Very impressive inside the Priory, this was a real suprise being in such a small village off the main roads. Shame the window isn't clearer and maybe its a bit dark but it is a church so there. The floor was cool.

Primo Cortile, Palazzo Vecchio, Firenze.
(One more inside)
The first courtyard was designed in 1453 by Michelozzo. In the lunettes, high around the courtyard, are crests of the Church and City Guilds. In the center, the porphyry fountain is by Battista del Tadda. The Putto with Dolphin on top of the basin is a copy of the original by Andrea del Verrocchio (1476), now on display on the second floor of the palace. This small statue was originally placed in the garden of the villa of the Medici in Careggi. The water, flowing through the nose of the dolphin, is brought here by pipes from the Boboli Gardens.
In the niche, in front of the fountain, stands Samson and Philistine by Pierino da Vinci.
First courtyardThe frescoes on the walls, representing scenes of the Austrian Habsburg estates, were painted in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari for the wedding celebration of Francesco I de' Medici, the eldest son of Cosimo I de' Medici, and Johanna of Austria, sister of the Emperor Maximilian. The harmoniously proportioned columns, at one time smooth, and untouched, were at the same time richly decorated with gilt stuccoes. The barrel vaults are furnished with grotesque decorations.
