Ricoh grd4
It's been a while!
i'm going to have to get used to this new flickr interface. it's actually pretty good.
My Ricoh GRD4 is now dead. unable to obtain sharp photos. there is definitely a big problem.
too bad. i truly think it was my favorite camera. non intrusive, silent, snappy.... and the list goes on. i still don't know if i'll buy another one. the new GR system is now here. but there are so many other cameras i would want to try.
surprisingly, i have been very tempted to go back to my DSLR for a while. unfortunately, the lens i would love to use on my 5dmkII would be the 50mm 1.2L
i will still process my remaining shots taken with the GRD4. still a few to go.

Custom Korean (Hangul) Typography
It's been a pretty busy week, with final projects and working hard to code my site in AS3 so as to release it before the year ends... still pretty buggy atm :-(
For the poster... well, it's been a while since I have constructed a korean typeface... korean typography was somewhat hard to get a grasp on... mainly because im used to the latin alphabet's typographic rules... also, the letterforms stick to a certain typographic grid regardless of the shape of the characters... hence, shapes such as the circle in 공 and 역 differ to some degree, as the top part of the letterforms usually conform to a slightly bigger vertical margin. I'm not sure if i have violated any typographic rule within hangul (i just know how to read it and speak it.... to some extent haha :-P), so if i did, please let me know as i'm always willing to learn some more :-)
Loading of an Erieye radar antenna. The Erieye radar system, is an Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) developed by Saab Electronic Defence Systems (formerly Ericsson Microwave Systems) of Sweden. It uses active electronically scanned array (AESA) technology. The Erieye is used on a variety of aircraft platforms, such as the Brazilian Embraer E-99 or EMB-145. It has recently been implemented on the Saab 2000 aircraft.
The Erieye Ground Interface Segment (EGIS; not to be confused with the Aegis combat system) is a major component of the software used by the Erieye system.
The radar provides 300 degree coverage and has an instrumental range of 450 km and detection range of 350 km in a dense hostile electronic warfare environment—in heavy radar clutter and at low target altitudes. In addition to this, the radar is also capable of identifying friends or foes, and has a sea surveillance mode.
The Erieye system has full interoperability with NATO air defence command and control systems.
The impala, (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. The sole member of the genus Aepyceros, it was first described to European audiences by German zoologist Hinrich Lichtenstein in 1812. Two subspecies are recognisedâthe common impala, and the larger and darker black-faced impala. The impala reaches 70-92 centimetres (28-36 inches) at the shoulder and weighs 40-76 kg (88-168 lb). It features a glossy, reddish brown coat. The male's slender, lyre-shaped horns are 45-92 centimetres (18-36 inches) long.
Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography. Three distinct social groups can be observed: the territorial males, bachelor herds and female herds. The impala is known for two characteristic leaps that constitute an anti-predator strategy. Browsers as well as grazers, impala feed on monocots, dicots, forbs, fruits and acacia pods (whenever available). An annual, three-week-long rut takes place toward the end of the wet season, typically in May. Rutting males fight over dominance, and the victorious male courts female in oestrus. Gestation lasts six to seven months, following which a single calf is born and immediately concealed in cover. Calves are suckled for four to six months; young males(forced out of the all-female groups) join bachelor herds, while females may stay back.
The impala is found in woodlands and sometimes on the interface (ecotone) between woodlands and savannahs; it inhabits places close to water. While the black-faced impala is confined to southwestern Angola and Kaokoland in northwestern Namibia, the common impala is widespread across its range and has been reintroduced in Gabon and southern Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the impala as a species of least concern; the black-faced subspecies has been classified as a vulnerable species, with less than 1,000 individuals remaining in the wild as of 2008.

Eventually, Paul finished wiring up the proxy’s arm. Leaning back to fully take in his work, he nodded. He flipped the welding mask up, combing down his tall red mohawk and revealing his young, square-jawed face.
“Okay, should be good now.” He said.
“That’s what you said ten minutes ago.” Delaney replied.
“And like I said, different power rating." Paul snapped back. "Should be good, now with the right wiring.”
“Holdin’ my breath in anticipation...” Bradford said in a sarcastic tone.
Paul flipped a switchboard connected to the robot. The familiar sound of a proxy booting up hummed as Paul wheeled himself over to an adjacent table. An ancient, repurposed laptop was set up with even more wiring snaking from it and leading to the proxy. He typed in a string of commands on the computer’s hard-interface keyboard and hit enter.
He abruptly shoved off from the table and rolled back to his previous spot. Set behind him was a beat-up electric guitar leaning against one of the tables. He reached around and grabbed it in one hand. He stopped over the dormant proxy, glancing back and forth between it and the laptop screen.
Suddenly, the robot’s arms jerked to life, holding them out at waist height as its hands grasped blindly at the air. Paul placed the guitar in front of it as it instinctively found its grip. A rudimentary artificial intelligence program. It promptly levelled the instrument into a traditional playing posture and froze in waiting.
Satisfied, Paul went back over to his diagnostics laptop, started the next command prompt, and turned to the proxy.
The four of them waited for a moment in silence.
The proxy jerked the slightest bit, readjusting its finger positions accordingly. It then began strumming out the first half of ‘Ace of Spades’. Part of Paul’s ‘dexterity tests’ for proxy units. The fingers raced back and forth across the strings, while the rest of the body remained unnervingly still.
Paul grinned viscously, let out a cackle, and banged his head to the beat. The momentum flicked his welding mask back down over his face, startling him. He quickly swung it back up, gave a brief awkward look, before resuming his headbanging as if nothing happened.
The last note hung in the air as it reverberated through the room. With the sequence ended, the proxy froze and loosened its stiff grip on the guitar. Paul grabbed the instrument by the neck and swiftly snatched it from the robot’s lap.
He looked up at the group.
“Never gets old!” he beamed.
“Yeah, but how’s that apply with remote operation?” Delaney said.
“Look buddy, if it can match Fast Eddie, it’ll do anything.” Paul replied plainly.
“As long as you can still work a stud welder without turning into butterfingers, that’s all I care about.” Bradford added.
“Just gotta do a few more tests, make sure there ain't any kinks...” Paul began.
Kelly pushed off from the workbench.
“Well, it seems you boys are having fun here. But I’ve got to go pick up my girl from the tram station.”
“Oh!” Paul jumped up, as if remembering something.
“Since you’re here, Bradford was mentioning a job offer earlier. Something you might be interested in?"
“A job? You?” She turned her attention to Bradford with a brow raised. “What kind of job?”
“Aaahh,” Bradford hand waved. “It was just small-talk. Salvage job across town. Nothing concrete at the moment, but me and a few ‘a the boys think there’s somethin’ to it.”
“Well, keep in touch with Paul. Its about time he starts organizing his own outings.”
“Hey, that Bakery Square op’ two months ago was all mine!”
“Hopefully it won’t be nearly as sloppy as that one was...” She said under her breath. “Right now, I’ve got my own job to wrap up.”

I have mixed feelings how this part turned out. It was a lot more complicated than I initially thought, but the end result is still pretty good. Not much visual story-telling going on though. I want to try improving on that with upcoming parts.
Also did more focus stacking for this, because I'm a masochist who loves creating needless amounts of extra work for myself. And to top things off, a lot of facial edits on the figures (which I'll admit aren't the best).
If you fave, comment as well!
A view of the Blue Dome of Mirazozo, which was part of the Assembly George Square complex at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
It's a giant inflatable building, illuminated by natural light coming in via seams.
