The legendary Paradise Missionary Baptist Church turns 99 years old this year.
1112 E Scott St, Tampa Bay, Florida.
Built in 1922, this now permanently closed and condemned church is the original Allen Temple A.M.E. Church on Scott St, located just off Central Ave. When the African American community in Tampa Bay was vibrant and new and excited about their own place in town, this was a pillar or communal strength.
Scott Street and Central Ave along with downtown proper for the railroads and the Tampa Bay Hotel, Ybor and Temple Terrace was the epicenter for Tampa Culture in general. Putting Tampa on the map with jazz and blues acts that traveled down for their heydays and safety in numbers and love.
Tampa Bay in the early 20th century was reborn in music.
Sadly the Central Ave District is not what it once was, but has since gone through a revival of sorts with quality efficiently and low-income but sustainable and clean housing.
Hopefully together when can all bring the change we want to see and elevate the district back to it's musical roots of locale and fame.
I'd wanted to photograph these guys, and their fishing birds for years. We shot with them at sunset and the following sunrise. At 5am I was knee deep in the Li river, surrounded by beautifully magical countryside. It was a surreal, and memorable experience.

After a whole lot of fixes, I'm finally decently satisfied with the baroness.
Issues fixed:
1. Highlights in eyes made as symmetrical as possible.
2. Removed glue spots on forehead.
3. Removed glue spot on tip of nose.
4. Removed red paint splatters on both cheeks.
5. Removed white paint spot on lip.
What I'm still not 100% happy about:
1. Her left eye has a glue mark that leaves the top shiny. That spot reflects light in most angles and is a pain. But it's too risky to fix.
2. The hairline. It's not perfect, but I can live with it.
Overall, she is a gorgeous doll. The design is fab and the outfit is fantastic. But my experience is totally ruined because of the unending issues and this is probably the only photo I will take of her until who knows when. Sad! She could have been a joy.

The late Pope Francis left us a memorable phrase, referring to the tragic events of our current history, he said "build bridges, not walls", and almost paraphrasing Pope Francis, here in Sicily we tear down walls, let me explain... there is a traditional religious festival, during which the wall of a house, always the same wall, is torn down, to then be built again in anticipation of the celebration that will be held in the new year. But it is not so much the wall itself, even more characteristic is the way in which this wall is broken down: it is struck over and over again with the arms of the float, those used by the bearers to hold the float, on which sits the statue of Saint James, an incredible tradition whose origins are not unanimous. Many, many years ago, I was perhaps 20 years old, walking with a few friends one evening along Corso Umberto in Taormina, I learned from one of them about this incredible tradition. I remember it as if it were yesterday. He said, “In Sicily, there is a celebration in which, during the procession, the float with the Saint, loaded with provola (cheeses), is used like a battering ram to break down the wall of a house, which is then rebuilt (the battering ram, a medieval assault weapon, used to break down gates and castle walls).” This year, I was able to witness (and photograph) this very particular and unique tradition, which is celebrated every year on July 26th in the town of Capizzi (Messina), a celebration that commemorates the transfer of the relics of Saint James from his sanctuary. As mentioned, the most characteristic moment of the celebration is the "rite of miracles": the float with Saint James on it is violently hurled against the wall of a house adjacent to the church of Sant'Antonio, and each impact against this wall is interpreted as "a miracle of Saint James". The number of blows needed to overcome the wall is interpreted sometimes positively (if the blows are even), sometimes negatively (if the blows are odd). The "Miracles of St. James" do not have a certain origin, some think it could originate in ancient times from the destruction of a small pagan temple, or a synagogue, someone else instead traces this tradition as a form of revenge of the inhabitants of Capizzi (Capitini), this because the relics of the Saint were stolen from Capizzi to be kept in the city of Messina, by the Spanish nobleman Sancho de Heredia, in obedience in 1435 towards Alfonso V of Aragon, nicknamed "the Magnanimous" (he was king of Aragon, Valencia, Sardinia, Majorca, Sicily, titular king of Jerusalem, Corsica and Hungary, he was count of Barcelona and of the Catalan counties, and from 1442 he would also become king of Naples), therefore the demolition of the wall would be a form of revenge towards what was perhaps the house of the nobleman Sancho de Heredia, finally someone else traces this tradition to a legendary event, which recalls the defeat of a handful of Saracens, who They had barricaded themselves in that place. Currently in Capizzi, in the Sanctuary of San Giacomo Maggiore, the oldest relic of Saint James the Apostle in Sicily is housed: a finger of the saint. Another characteristic aspect of the festival is the presence of numerous provola cheeses placed on the roof of the float. These are offered by the population to Saint James. The presence of these typical cheeses is indicative of the type of economy in Capizzi, primarily linked to agriculture and livestock farming, with significant dairy and pork production, particularly that of the Nebrodi black pig, with typical cheeses such as provola capitina and maiorchino. Some residents told me that sometimes the donations of provola cheeses, even large ones, become so abundant that the float ends up becoming exceptionally heavy, severely testing the bearers' ability to support all that weight.

Il compianto papa Francesco ci ha lasciato una memorabile frase, in riferimento alle tragiche vicende della nostra attuale storia, ha detto “costruite ponti, non muri”, e quasi parafrasando Papa Francesco, qui da noi in Sicilia i muri li abbattiamo, mi spiego meglio ….c’è una festa tradizionale religiosa, durante la quale il muro di una casa, sempre lo stesso muro, viene abbattuto, per poi venire costruito in attesa della festa che si terrà il nuovo anno, ma non è tanto il muro in se, ancor più caratteristico è il modo in cui questo muro viene sfondato: esso viene colpito più, e più volte con i bracci del fercolo, quelli che servono ai portatori per reggere la vara, sul quale siede la statua di San Giacomo, una incredibile tradizione sulle cui origini non c’è unanimità di pensiero. Io tanti, tanti anni fa, forse avevo 20 anni, passeggiando con pochi amici di sera sul Corso Umberto di Taormina, venni a sapere da uno di questi, di questa tradizione che ha dell’incredibile, lo ricordo come fosse ieri, disse “in Sicilia c’è una festa nella quale durante la processione, la vara con il Santo, carica di provole (formaggi) viene utilizzata come fosse un’ariete per sfondare il muro di una casa, che poi verrà ricostruito (l’ariete, arma medioevale d’assalto, utilizzata per sfondare portoni e muri dei castelli),”. Quest’anno, ho potuto assistere (e fotografare) questa tradizione così particolare ed unica, che si celebra ogni anno il 26 luglio nel paese di Capizzi (Messina), festa che commemora il trasferimento delle reliquie di San Giacomo dal suo Santuario, e, come anticipato, il momento più caratteristico della festa è il “rito dei miracoli”, la vara con sopra San Giacomo viene violentemente scagliata contro il muro di una una casa adiacente la chiesa di Sant'Antonio, ed ogni urto contro questo muro viene inteso come “un miracolo di San Giacomo”, il numero dei colpi necessari per avere la meglio sul muro viene interpretato ora in maniera positiva (se i colpi sono pari), ora in maniera negativa (se i colpi sono dispari). I “Miracoli di San Giacomo” non hanno una origine certa, qualcuno pensa possa originare anticamente dalla distruzione di un piccolo tempio pagano, od una sinagoga, qualcun altro invece fa risalire questa tradizione come una forma di rivalsa degli abitanti di Capizzi (Capitini), questo perché le reliquie del Santo furono sottratte a Capizzi per essere custodite nella città di Messina, da parte del nobile spagnolo Sancho de Heredia, in obbedienza nel 1435 verso Alfonso V d'Aragona, soprannominato "il Magnanimo" (era re di Aragona, Valencia, Sardegna, Maiorca, Sicilia, re titolare di Gerusalemme, Corsica e Ungheria, era conte di Barcellona e delle contee catalane, e dal 1442 sarebbe diventato anche re di Napoli), quindi l’abbattimento del muro sarebbe una forma di vendetta verso quella forse era la casa del nobile Sancho de Heredia, infine qualcun altro fa risalire questa tradizione ad un evento leggendario, che ricorda la sconfitta di un manipolo di saraceni, che si erano asserragliati in quel luogo. Attualmente a Capizzi, nel Santuario di San Giacomo Maggiore, si trova la più antica reliquia di San Giacomo Apostolo Maggiore che abbiamo in Sicilia, si tratta di un dito del Santo. Un altro aspetto caratteristico della festa, è la presenza di numerose provole messe sul tetto della vara, queste sono offerte dalla popolazione a San Giacomo, la presenza di questi tipici formaggi è indicativa del tipo di economia che c’è a Capizzi, principalmente legata all'agricoltura e alla pastorizia, con una importante produzione casearia e di carne suina, in particolare quella del maiale nero dei Nebrodi, con formaggi tipici, come la provola capitina e il maiorchino. Mi dicevano alcuni abitanti che a volte la donazione delle provole, anche di grosse dimensioni, diviene così abbondante, che la vara finisce con acquisire un peso eccezionale, mettendo a dura prova la capacità di reggere tutto quel peso da parte dei portatori.

After a ten day hiatus (due to college camp, work scheduling, and life in general), I return to building the Indiana Jones vignettes! This scene (though not the first scene of the movie which shows young Indy [coming soon]) is where the hunt for the Holy Grail begins for the archaeology professor. Having learned from undercover agent Walter Donovan that his father has recently disappeared, Jones will soon be traveling to Venice where he will find the complementary half to the Grail Marker.
Not totally sure how I feel about this MOC... having not started on the young Indy scene sort of threw me off kilter when building this, but I nonetheless hope I somewhat captured some of the details of Donovan's house, including the little skyline that can be viewed through the window.
The Harry Potter collaboration builders are to be thanked for inspiring me. :D

Mr Splitnose is one of the biggest, distinctive and aristocratic Leopards (Panthera pardus pardus) in the Maasai Mara. He had had a busy morning, as he successfully brought down a Zebra and had been feeding on it the whole morning. Being a larger prey than they normally hunt he was unable to drag it up a tree and decided to sit out in the open and enjoy the fruits of his hard labour.

In the heavy wooden door of the Heidelberg Castle you will find a smaller gate with a thick ring made of iron. They used to use that gate for single visitors or emissaries in times of war when they did not want to open the big wooden door. Today you can see a dent on the thick ring of the gate which they have used for knocking. This dent is the so called “Witch’s Bite”. The old Heidelberg Legend of the Witch’s Bite relates that once the Electoral Prince, who was in a dying condition, worried about a successor because he has not left any descendants behind. So he promised the transfer of power to the one who would bite through the thick iron ring. The Electoral Prince thought anyone who would be strong enough to bite through an iron ring would be also strong enough to be a ruler. Many noble and brave men tried their luck but they failed because of broken teeth. Not only men did desire the power. There was a witch who had a try at biting through the ring. As she was almost successful in doing it she fortunately also lost her teeth at the critical moment . The iron ring remained entirely and there was just a dent left thanks to which today they use the term “witch’s bite”.
