After work I went to hang out on the set of the latest Cotume Drama being filmed in Oxford, Testament of Youth. Well, not actually on set but thanks to my 70-200mm f2.8 it felt like it.
Here's the star, Alicia Vikander, in a quiet moment. You may not have heard of her yet but with roles in Alex Garland’s 'Ex Machina' and Guy Ritchie’s 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' just completed it sounds she's destined for big things.
From the Press Release (thanks Carole for pointing that out) : 'The film shoots in various locations around the UK including Yorkshire, Oxford and London. Award-winning writer Juliette Towhidi adapted the screenplay from Brittain's searing story of love and war, which was first published in 1933.
In Towhidi’s script Vera, irrepressible, intelligent and free-minded, overcomes the prejudices of her family and hometown to win a scholarship to Oxford. With everything to live for, she falls in love with her brother’s brilliant friend Roland Leighton as they go to University to pursue their literary dreams. But the First World War is looming and as the boys leave for the front Vera realises she cannot sit idly by as her peers fight for their country, so volunteers as a nurse and sets off for France.'

As promised, here is a night neon shot of the Golden Star Cafe sign that I took last night.
I should have changed to a prime lens but since multiple gun shots were audible in the neighborhood I had to make it quick. I didn't want to be out flashing all over the place to attract more attention. The restaurant people were very nice, though.
The CHOP-SUEY part is almost going out; purple in color. This is pretty close to what I was seeing with my naked eyes.

F/V Neptune which happens to be a side trawler located in Stonington, CT. Below is an article about the history of the vessel...
STONINGTON — Neptune lumbers into port a bit late, her hold not quite as full of fish as some other days, her winches and outriggers a bit arthritic with rust. But cut her a break: she’s the oldest boat in the Stonington fleet.
“She was built in 1967 by Luther Blount of Blount Marine,” says her captain, Alan Chaplaski.
To the seasoned mariner, the name Blount summons the same nods of respect that “Ford” or “Chevy” once did among car owners back in the post-World War II days, when Luther Blount founded his shipyard in Warren, R.I. Even greenhorned landlubbers whose most ambitious nautical excursions have been catching a ferry to Block Island or from Battery Park to the Statue of Liberty have likely done so on the steel decks of a Blount vessel, a popular choice for commuter and excursion ferry companies for decades.
Blount designed and built America’s first commercial stern trawler, the Narragansett, in 1962. The steel-hulled Neptune, at close to 80 feet, is of the same vintage and class, though she’s what’s known as a side trawler because her nets are cast over her starboard rail.
“What you do is you stop with the wind on the starboard side,” explained Chaplaski. “You then put the net in the water and the wind blows the boat away from the net. It doesn’t always work, but that’s the way they’ve done it since they started towing with nets going back to the early 1900s.”
Chaplaski is a man who is used to the vagaries of the sea. Born in 1950 on Fishers Island, he has been around boats since he was just “a couple of days old,” as he put it. He began lobstering in high school, went off to college, but couldn’t quite wring the salt water from his veins and has been fishing nearly all of his life.
“Not yet,” he jokes, crediting that standard, Yankee one-liner to his cryptic Down East brethren in Maine.
Neptune was built for the Bucolo commercial seafood company in Newport, then later moved to New Bedford, Mass., which is where Chaplaski bought her in the early 1990s. With a crew of three or four on board and powered by a 400 hp diesel Caterpillar engine, she chugs out to sea every week on trips lasting three to four days.
Her normal fishing grounds are about 100 miles off Montauk, an area known as Hudson’s Canyon, at 270 miles long and more 3,600 feet deep one of the largest known ocean canyons in the world. The trawler’s catch is not only determined by fate, but by seasonal regulations. Fluke and squid season just ended; now she drags her voluminous nets for whiting, monkfish, and royal red shrimp (locally known as Stonington red shrimp, though this is a misnomer). Never an easy profession, commercial fishing is as tough these days as it ever was, says Chaplaski. Draconian regulations, the price of fuel, the tooth-pulling exercise of getting fish buyers to cut a check for your catch — these and other challenges often conspire against the average working fisherman.
“We have to get in a trip a week, just to pay the bills,” Chaplaski says, with good-natured resignation.
Then there have been the challenges of keeping an older boat updated with the latest technologies.
This has meant installing computer navigation systems, replacing the asbestos decking (which held up better than modern material, Chaplaski observed), swapping out the old oil stove in the galley for an electric model, and refitting some of the ship’s exposed mechanics with stainless steel after the original steel’s time had come.
“You get an eye for how long it can go. I mean there’s rust, and then there’s rust,” he said, smiling.
But even in the face of rust, and regulations, and the admitted insanity of one man trying to coax a living from the sea, Neptune is a vessel whose integrity remains intact.
“Luther Blount designed a good hull,” said Chaplaski. “She may throw you around a bit at times, but she’s a strong boat and will always get you home.”

A lesson at the Royal Palace about how trumpets and drums have been used by the military since ancient times, when they were used for coordination on the battlefield and to inspire courage among the men.
Royal military music has ancient roots. Historically, drums and trumpets were used on the battlefield.
Today, the Swedish music corps are the Armed Forces Music Corps, the Life Guards' Dragoon Music Corps and the Navy's Music Corps. The three corps alternate for state ceremonial duties at the Royal Palace of Stockholm. The Armed Forces Music Corps is the largest, with around 50 permanent musicians. As well as royal activities, they also take part in over one hundred parades and concerts each year, both in Sweden and abroad.

13-14c Church of St Andrew, Ufford Northamptonshire (also claimed to be in Cambridgeshire & Lincolnshire !) stands on high ground at the edge of the village - The nave lacking a clerestory is at a lower pitch than the late 13c chancel, 15c South Porch and west tower which has a cast iron bell frame containing 4 bells, 2 of which date from the first half of the 15c.
Inside is a large monument to Lady Bridget Carr "who served the late Queen Elizabeth of most famous memory, being one of the gentlewomen of her Majesty’s Privy Chamber for the space of five and twenty years, and afterwards served the most renowned Queen Anne, wife to our most gracious sovereign, King James, for the space of 14 years" www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/TwJku3
In July 2015 it was reopened to the public following 9 months and half a million pounds worth of repairs to preserve its historic fabric for the future.
The church has been in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust since October 2014 who have restored it including the re-roofing of the distinctive Collyweston stone roof, repairs to masonry and glazing and conservation of its monuments.

Bokator, or more formally, Labokkatao is a Cambodian martial art that includes close hand-to-hand combat, ground techniques and weapons. Possibly the oldest existing fighting system in Cambodia, oral tradition indicates that bokator or an early form thereof was the close quarter combat system used by the armies of Angkor 1000 years ago.

(I used to express myself in music and words much more than pictures. I'm trying to reawaken that part of myself before it withers and dies. .....I'm pretty rusty.)
This will be the second time in three years that my hometown is wiped off the map. Before Oregon, Illinois, New Zealand, Colorado, I lived in Louisiana.
I was born in New Orleans.
It probably explains a lot about me, actually.
There's a part of me that's breaking now, seeing that the city is once more at the mercy of the gods.....and in the three years since Katrina, the Bush administration has refused to do anything to save New Orleans from another catastrophe. The levees are just as weak. The mistakes of the past are looming large and real.
People didn't have to die three years ago. A little planning and realism would have saved many lives. We could accept the past and learn from Katrina.....but we disrespect their memories so thoroughly that we forget they have died.
So here it is, ravaged by the weather again.....and I don't think it can bounce back again.
.....New Orleans is special. It has a culture of its own. ....What we're witnessing on some level is the death of a civilization.
And no one seems to care.
I'm so fucking angry at our government right now.
If you have anything to give right now, please help Red Cross prepare for the relief.

I took my first photographic trip to Kilbogget Park in Cabinteely. Like Cabinteely Park, which I have extensively photographed, Kilbogget Park is a public park owned and maintained by the public authority Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council;
One of the major attractions is this temporary Fish out of Water Sculpture, which is on display in the Park for six months.
The sculpture has been created from recycled agricultural machinery belonging to the Parks Department of Dun Laoghaire County Council.
The Fish out of Water sculpture was created by Dun Laoghaire artist Jackie Ball, who was awarded a sculpture residency by the council in 2011.

The bronze relief ('Scandal') and the accompanying fire basket (both 1930) were commissioned by Henry Mond (later the second Lord Melchett) and his second wife Gwen, and formed part of the fashionable Art Deco decoration in their London home (Mulberry House in Smith Square). The design refers to their ménage à trois with the writer Gilbert Cannan. The parrots in the fire basket suggest society gossip.
The marble sculpture on the left is The Bather (1915) by Albert Toft (1862-1949).

I shot this panaromic of the Dallas Medical District on the afternoon of 10-12-10.
The Dallas Medical District is a world class medical research, education and hospital district located a mere 3.5 miles north of the Downtown Dallas Financial Distict. The Dallas Medical District is also known as the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center at Dallas.
Two new huge hospital construction projects in the Dallas Medical District are just starting up - a new 2.5 million square foot Parkland Hospital complex and a new 1.3 million square foot University Hospital complex (neither shown in this photo since construction is just now starting).
Together these two new substantial hospital projects will add 3.8 million square feet of additional state-of-the-art medical facilities to the burgeoning Dallas Medical District very close to Downtown Dallas at an investment of $2.1 billion dollars in new development!
A 2.5 million square foot building for Parkland Hospital is equivalent to a 118 story skyscraper!!!!
However, the new Parkland Hospital complex will be more mid-rise in height at 17 stories at its tallest but spread over a significantly larger footprint.
The new hospital complex is being constructed on 26 acres across Harry Hines Boulevard from where the existing Parkland Hospital sets today and just south of Inwood Road. The project cost is $1.27 billion dollars.
A new massive 6,000 car parking garage is also being constructed as part of the complex.
The Dallas Medical District is the ONLY medical district in the nation with five Nobel Laureates in Medicine, with four on staff concurrently! No other medical center in Texas or the nation has this esteemed distinction.
The Dallas Medical District is a 231 acre campus in the City of Dallas incorporating three degree granting institutions made up of the UT Southwestern Medical School, UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and UT Southwestern School of Health Professions. Five affiliated hospitals are co-located in the Medical District: Parkland Memorial Hospital, Children’s Medical Center, University Medical Centre Brackenridge, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, and St. Paul University Hospital, as well as the Aston Ambulatory Care Center.
The three degree granting UTSW medical schools train 4,400 medical, graduate and health profession students, residents and postdoctoral fellows each year.
UTSW’s research faculty includes 18 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 18 members of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, 14 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 13 members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 58 specialists listed in "Best Doctors in America", more than 230 specialists listed in "Best Doctors in America: Central Region", and the highest pinnacle of excellence in the form of four Nobel Laureates.
According to U.S. News and World Report, UTSW Medical School is the top medical school in Texas for research and second in primary care.
The positive financial impact of the Dallas Medical District is substantial, resulting in multi-billions in economic activity for Dallas each year. Each dollar spent by UT Southwestern generates an additional $2.14 for the Dallas economy. Its total expenditures of $1.5 billion in Fiscal Year 2008 (September 2007-August 2008) created more than $4.56 billion in business activity for the local and regional economies (this figure is for the UTSW associated hospitals).
For every UT Southwestern employee, three additional jobs are created in the economy. With 10,333 employees at the beginning of 2009, UTSW was responsible for 41,332 jobs in the local Dallas economy (this figure is for the UTSW associated hospitals).

An additional significant medical district that is within the shadows of Downtown Dallas' skyscrapers is the huge multi city block Baylor Medical District, just to the east of Downtown.
Baylor Medical District has expanded dramatically over the last few years by adding a dedicated heart hospital tower and a dedicated cancer hospital tower to complement the numerous existing medical towers in the district.
Numerous medical professional buildings surround the core Baylor Hospital complex stretching over several city blocks with additional professional buildings having also been constructed over the last few years.

Dallas has world class medical facilities that rank among the best of the best in the U.S. and the world.
Over 80 million under-fives living in some of the poorest countries in the world will be vaccinated against killer diseases like pneumonia and diarrhoea with the help of British aid as part of a broader collective effort.
At the end of a four-hour push to save lives hosted by David Cameron, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf (President of Liberia) and Bill Gates (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation), it was announced that $4.3billion had been pledges towards vaccinating at least a quarter of a billion children in the next five years, in order to save the lives of four million children.
