Kitchener Memorial, Marwick Head, Orkney
In June 1916, Lord Kitchener was dispatched on a diplomatic mission to Russia. Russia's military campaign was going badly on the Eastern Front, and there were concerns among the Allies that Russia would pull out of the war altogether.
Kitchener and his staff sailed to Archangel from Scapa Flow in Orkney aboard the HMS Hampshire, whixch had just survived the Battle of Jutland. Shortly after getting underway, on the 5th June 1916,the Hampshire found herself steering into the teeth of a Force 9 gale. To avoid the battering of the elements, the captain steered the ship as close to the north west coast of the Orkney mainland as he could. This action was to prove disastrous as the Hampshire was destroyed.
She had struck one of several mines laid by the German minelaying submarine U-75 on 28/29 May 1916. The detonation had holed the cruiser between bows and bridge, and the lifeboats were smashed against the side of the ship by the heavy seas when they were lowered. About 15 minutes after the explosion, Hampshire sank by the bow. Of the 735 crewmembers and 14 passengers aboard, only 12 crew survived after coming ashore on three Carley floats. A total of 737 were lost including Kitchener and all the members of the mission to Russia.
The 48 feet high Kitchener Memorial, now a listed building, was erected in 1926 by the people of Orkney to commemorate Lord Kitchener and the crew of HMS Hampshire. The memorial, a square tower with battered walls of coursed rubble, sits atop the cliffs keeping watch over the final resting place of the hundreds of men lost to the sea.
In 2016 an arc-shaped HMS Hampshire commemorative wall was added alongside the memorial. The wall is of local stone, inlaid with granite on which the names of all 737 men lost are engraved.
Ran a roll of 35mm through my Yashica Mat.
I only have 36 exposure films so the first thing I did was to set my camera to take 220 film as it then allows 24 shots instead of 12.
I then wrapped some tape around one end of the take-up spool to make it thicker - this fools the camera into winding on less between shots so you waste less film.
I then jammed the 35mm cartridge in place with some folded strips of cardboard as that was all I had to hand.
It worked reasonably well - you waste a load of film at the start and the gaps get longer as you wind the film.
I managed 14 shots on the roll before the winder stopped turning.
I don't think I'll do it again - next time I'll try the backing paper trick in my Agfa Isola.

Steffen and I just completed remodeling a condo on Coronado Island. The new owners did not want to gut the kitchen so we added a backsplash to transition from the stark black granite countertops to the warm oak cabinetry. We also changed the cabinet pulls from black to brushed nickel to de-emphasize the black.
A small kitchen on the upper deck of a replica of the Dunbrody, a sailing ship that ferried survivors of Ireland's Great Hunger of the 1840s. These ships were called "coffin ships" because so many of the poor and desperate people crammed into them for emigration (and exploitation) died from hunger and sickness during the journey. The Dunbrody had a superior reputation among such ships, thanks to its captain - a doctor who cared about his passengers and about the living conditions on board. Still, access to rooms like this, where food could be stored and prepared, was very restricted. Everyone had to live off of very little for many weeks on end.

The cabinets and sink were picked up for next to nothing at the ReStore. The 1954 GE Combination Refrigerator was purchased from a listing on Craigslist. I am having some serious appliance fetish when it comes to this fridge. I spent an entire Saturday night cleaning and detailing it, total OCD'ing out. Now it beckons whenever I come near it. The wall paint is Valspar's La Fonda Cactus. Open faced shelves coming soon.

2 Sunpak 383s, mid-power ceiling bounce, one behind me, one CR. More ambient than it looks like... Please have a look at the other angle of this in my photostream - I'm looking for suggestions on good POVs for this kind of kitchen.
An outdoor kitchen and living space with stainless steel appliance, a green egg cooker and stone patio in Addison, Texas.
It was weird to go into this house because there were many things left behind by it's former tenants. If you look right below the window you can see dishes sitting in the dish rack - waiting to be put away. There are condiments and dish ware in the cupboards. It seems as if it were a hasty exit. The whole house was filled with "stuff", on the third floor we even found a small library.
AKA depression ville.
Check out that support pole, which was hidden by a cover when I bought the house. Why would you cement broken china to a pole?!
