My older son explaining to his younger brother how to use an Olympus PEN. These guys shot off a whole roll of Velvia. 72 shots! While there was not many "keepers" there were some pretty funny pics.

Lois was the last one I had to shoot for the day. And since she had nothing on after, and because I didn’t have a time limit to work within after her shoot, we decided to have more fun with the makeup we put together.
Lessons we’ve learnt today:
1)Red food dye stains your skin pretty bad, not to mention contact lenses.
2)Ground coffee makes an excellent alternative to soil. It made my hands smell good too.
3)We tend to scare ourselves with our overactive imaginations, especially when trying out different shots with the makeup she had on.
4)I remember now why I always say I love working with theatre actors the most, they give you almost anything you ask for flawlessly.
5)Lois and I are like cool bananas and awesome sauce put together, we had a whole heap of fun.
Dear Rajashree, Sheena and Lois, you girls are fantastic and I’m so glad you are willing to go through this craziness for me. Thanks to you guys I’ve gotten enough material to work on with the shoots over the weekend, though it was done seemingly rushed.
This isn’t part of the series but Lois and I loved it so much we had to share.

Wiki was helpful this morning in illustrating what an authentic cat looks like. And then she did her meercat imitation as a bonus. Accept no substitutes.

Ok, here's a panorama that I shot that did not turn out as I planned. It does show the awesomeness of the storm. But....
I learned the hard way to not use a circular polarizer when taking a panorama. I was using it to get more contrast between the clouds and the blue sky, but where the edges blend it creates those dark ares.
This is three shots, thus the two dark areas. I've been trying in vain for three hours to fix it. I give up.
Plus I chopped the top of the clouds off. I have enough trouble with one shot sometimes, much less three put together.

For their seventh lesson, the girls took a stab at the music scene by releasing their debut albums. But that's not all that went off, as a confrontation between Dotti, Kaitlyn, Nikki and Maddie turned violet.
Devin, Maddie and Pinkie we're chart toppers, being in the top three. While Nikki and Sy'Rai fell into the bottom two. Being true to her word, Sabrina eliminated Sy'Rai, but only after declaring Devin the winner of the challenge.

This project is semi-annoying as it means that I have to actually go and seek out people to take pictures of. Which means passenger areas, and annoying uniform changes.
Luckily, I had other options. This is taken from the funnel/ roof of deck 16, looking down on the sports deck.
Giant chess sets have a special place in my heart, after many hours spent playing in Gran Canaria. This wasn't a proper game I don't think, but it looked a little like a father-son lesson in tactics.
Today, I traced the air start system. It was actually surprisingly fun. Probably because it didn't involve crawling. We were in Ketchikan today but I was so tired that I didn't even bother attempting to go ashore.
The second lesson was to adjust the levels on an image (I didn't know how to do this!!) and to add text, changing the opacity and type of layer. Kim Klassen also asked us to work on a light image and a dark image. Here's my lighter one, complete with a rainbow from the other night! (And also with textures from Distressed Jewell/Cheryl Tarrant and Kim Klassen.)
Late one night a friend decided they wanted to know how I transform my pictures into custom art creations, like the ones posted in my mental leakage set. The idea was to watch me work through one from start to finish and learn enough to create their own. (it happens every few months, I gave up trying to talk people out of it a long time ago....)
I took a deep mental breath and started playing around while trying to talk them through what I was doing. Where we ran into problems (as almost always happens) was when I could tell them what I was doing, but not why. When I am free-flow playing I tend to go from step to step on instinct and curiosity. I will keep building layers, turning them on/off, rearranging the stacking order, changing opacity, etc etc as my mind wanders. I just go with the flow, rarely do I ever start with an idea and end with that product, it always evolves and changes as I go along.
This time they hung in til the end with me (instead of giving up from overload part way through), and want to do it again. They decided to get a copy of photoshop and play around a bit for a while, then once they understand more of the basics come back for more. That's fine, I'm game whenever they're ready.... I'll use the time as a lesson in patience for me. Lord knows I could use more patience... :)
An object lesson in the art and science of political spin - good script and acting, Sandra Bullock amazing as always. It's based on a 2005 documentary of the same name about the Bolivian election of 2002.

The lesson didn't say to post the drawing, but since I like this one, I'm posting it to this group. :)
Tree Climbing Lesson. Yosemite National Park, California. June 7, 2009. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Two black bear cub and their mother climb trees in Yosemite National Park, California.
I was very fortunate to be able to watch this bear family a couple of years ago - and to have a long enough lens to do so without intruding on them. The mother bear seemed to be alternately letting the "kids" play around and do whatever they felt like, and then offering them "climbing lessons" on some of the trees. The cub with black fur seemed the most comfortable at this, quickly scrambling straight up the trunks to surprising heights, moving with agility that reminded me of monkeys. The brown-fur sibling seemed a bit more cautious and "mama" seemed to have to offer a bit of encouragement and support, much as a human parent might do. Her actions at this point reminded me of my own experience with my kids the first time they climbed something (that seemed to them to be) dangerous - I followed close behind with my "front paws" around them, ready to catch if necessary.
While the brown cub initially hesitated quite a bit, before long it also took off and quickly ascended way up in the tree, and before long the whole family was 20 or more feet off the ground.

I realise I messed up in a few places, such as the cat's chin. It was to fat at first, and when I tried to make it skinnier, I left the original lines because they were too dark and I didn't want to ruin my eraser... Shame on me I suppose. :P
The eyes are too big, as well, I think. I need to work on drawing more realistically, I know that much.
Any other critical comments help and are appreciated. :)
