The dramatist, librarian and leading representative of the German enlightenment movement Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781) was one of Moses Mendelssohn's best friends.
Monument at the edge of Tiergarten park, Berlin/Germany, inaugurated in 1890. Sculptor: Otto Lessing, a greatgrandnephew of G. E. Lessing.
Last roll and development combo resulted in the dreaded black spots. Changed developer to Rodinal semi to assess potential etiology. Film continued to be Ultra100. And early AM continued to be time of day, with some dusk as well. One of my favorite lenses, the 16-35mm Nikkor; perspective just seems natural to me. Thanks again to all my fellow flickeranians for keeping me uplifted during challenging times.

This photograph conjures up all sorts of images: the road less traveled, the open road, lost highways, on the road, songs by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and others. One is also reminded of that famous book of non fiction by M. Scott Peck "THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED", but it is important to include one of America's favorite poets, Robert Frost who wrote "THE ROAD NOT TAKEN." Songs and poetry seem to reflect on the image of a lonely road winding to some unknown place in the distance. Eluding to questions about what one might find there or not want to find there when the journey ends.

As I stood on the Main Street Bridge in Kansas City, Missouri, over the UP & BNSF Mainlines for about half an hour on July 16, 2015 and no less than five trains passed under the Bridge.
This photo's location can be found on Page 42, Section D6 of the Prairies East And Ozarks SPV Railroad Atlas (See Disclaimer below). It is shown as Kansas City Terminal (KCT) Broadway Yard, just above Union Station on the Railroad Map.
DISCLAIMER: I'm sorry that I don't have any train numbers, however there are several reasons: 1) Until I attended a Wedding in Kansas City two weeks ago, I was unfamiliar with the Kansas City area, 2) I no longer own a Scanner and therefore I cannot ease drop on RR Dispatcher-Locomotive Engineers conversations and 3) I didn't do my homework familiarizing myself with the location of the numerous Railroad Yards and Mainlines thru Kansas City. My sole source of information were my Road Maps and my two SPV Railroad Atlas's (aka: Books of Railroad Maps) by Author Mike Walker.
The two Atlases (Prairies East And Ozarks and Prairies West ) are published in the United Kingdom by Steam Powered Video (SPV), Upper Harbledown, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 9AX. U.K. ( ISBN 1 874745 17 X ) 2004. Prairies East And Ozarks, pages 42 & 43 show all the Railroad Yards and tracks for the Kansas City Area.
SPC #10 - Hats
We all wear many hats, often more than one at a time. Some we wear for life, some we only think we will.
I struggled with myself as to whether or not I was even going to post this. But given the number of times the members of this group have put themselves out there and shown their vulnerabilities, I figured I could do the same, so I thank you all for that.
View large to see all my "hats" Here's a list of my "hats":
Skater, Tenant, Mentor, Photographer, Friend, Daddy, Confidant, Brother, Lover, Colleague, Husband, Handyman, Ex-Smoker, Son, Snowboarder, Role Model, Customer, Coach, Bug Squisher, Student, DJ.
I should mention, it's been three years now, and I've been back to good for about half that. Although I've always wanted to do something photographic to represent it, I almost did it for the Sins challenge but couldn't come up with anything that I really liked...I'm pretty happy with this one though.
On the penultimate night of the Nothing Less Than Equal Film Festival, the audience gathered to hear from UN Women's Roshika Deo about human trafficking and Rochelle on her experiences as a sex worker in Fiji. The feature film of the night was Lakshmi, which focused on a 13-year-old girl who is trafficked to work in the sex trade but gets the opportunity to stand up in court against her abusers.
The festival was organised by UN Women, Fiji Women's Rights Movement, UNICEF and UN OHCHR.

Less than an hour old. Male puppy on right, female on left. A mixed breed of dachshund/shih-tzu. The mom is a female long haired dachshund. The father is a shih-tzu. This was not supposed to happen. She was going to be bred with a male dachshund. However while in her crate while i was at work, our lab chewed the cage to pieces to get her out. In turn my shih-tzu got to her and my son walked in from school and found them together. All are going to good homes already picked out. (she was in middle of having the 3rd one in this pic)
This is a less than exciting photo of a nice combo* on QRNational intermodal freighter 7MB7, departing Tottenham in Melbourne. Train consisted of LDP007, LDP001 and 42202.
While it WAS cloudy at the time, the lighting wasn't that bad, infact it had lightened considerably since the last train had passed through (which had done so in light rain with very little light).
Normally none of these things pose a problem to myself, reasonably competent in camera operation and the correct settings to use. It should be noted the following:
1. We were not expecting this train to arrive, there was supposed to be a (far less interesting) train ahead of this one. Thus, we were "caught off guard" in this case.
2. We were planning a completely different location for this train, to better facilitate the chase. Upon changing location, the checking and changing of camera settings to calibrate for the new location would be mandatory.
3. I still had the camera settings set on "nice dark rain weather", rather than "sun trying to poke through the clouds" weather.
Result: A nice long stream of photos, all overexposed to buggery.
Thank god for RAW. Didn't make the shot a winner, but I have a record shot at least.
*While double LDP Class are "the norm", it is still nice to see one of the older Interail locomotives in the consist, as the CLP, CLF, 422, 421 and X Class locomotives are normally lacking on BM/MB services these days.
When I bought my PowerShot S3 IS, I purchased 8 Canon rechargeable batteries. Why Canon? Because Canon states that if anything goes wrong with the batteries in the camera, they'll only fix it on their dime if you are using their batteries. I know that batteries have a limited lifespan, but I've a hard time believing that these have gone through theirs. I bought them back in 2005 or 2006. Now, though, when I put them in my charger, even when I set it to 'refresh', which means that it should discharge them completely, then charge them back until they're at full charge, I get nothing. I've done this twice with all 8 batteries. Because they've got the Canon name on them, they're more expensive than rechargeable Energizers, or any other brand. I'm now kissing Canon batteries good-bye. I need more rechargeable AA batteries anyway. My wireless keyboard uses 4, my wireless mouse uses 2, the camera with which this photo was taken uses 2, the PowerShot S3 uses 4, and my new flash uses 4. That's a total of 16. I have 12 rechargeable Energizers, and were it not for the fact that I've 2 Energizer Ultimate Lithium (non-rechargeable) batteries in my little PowerShot A590, I'd have no spares at all. (I currently have 2 spares.)
I've got two batteries for my 50D. You can see it's empty battery compartment above. One was used up, then I put in the other last night, and found that it was on its last leg, too. (Last leg in that it had very little charge.) Because I use the Live View feature quite frequently, those batteries don't last as long as they would otherwise. At the moment, I can't do any flash photography, because I've no charged battery for my 50D. One is currently charging. It takes an hour and forty minutes to get each battery up to full charge. I've an hour to go, and by then, I'll be going to bed. That means, obviously, that the second battery for my 50D won't get charged until tomorrow.
Being battery-less sucks. I need more. :P
EDIT: Meanwhile, I'm gonna finish reading a book that I've been readin', and then, perhaps, start on a new one when I finish it.
