During the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe I had the good fortune to be invited to photograph a stunning show by Italian group Kataklo.
A number of my favourite shots that I've ever taken come from that show. So, I was more than delighted to see that they were returning this year with 'Love Machines' a new show inspired by the works of Leonardo da Vinci.
Once again, it was a stunning show. My thanks are due to Silvia Brivio and Daniela Bogo from Kataklo for arranging photographic access.
Oh...and I'll be going back on Friday to shoot it again from a different position. Woo-Hoo! :-)
You can see my other shots of this group in my Kataklo set.
The show is on at the Assembly Rooms at 17:05 until August 31st and you can buy ticketes here: www.assemblyfestival.com/webpages/whatson_moreinfobooknow...
Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway, Alna, Maine. This two-foot gauge line is built on the right-of-way of the original WW&F and runs from Sheepscot Station over three miles of track (with more opening in August 2022). The star attraction is 0-4-4T No. 9, built by the Portland Company in 1891 for the Sandy River, and later used by the WW&F until its abandonment in the 1930s. The railroad is an incredible time machine into the past. You won't find radios - all moves are done with whistle signals and hand signs.
This is my mod of the Mystery Machine. I think LEGO did a great job with the set but I wanted the van to be able to fit all of the gang.
Bombo Quarry | Kiama | NSW | Australia
The conditions were awesome this morning at Bombo, the swell was big and the tide was high and we were very close to the action, which was pretty sweet. I have no idea were all the clouds were hiding tho, yet again.
I have got a few different shots with the wave action, I might upload later.
If u like my photos u can also find me here :) Website | Twitter | Facebook Page
My Lego hobby isn’t my work, but sometimes there are area’s where they come together.
I work as a director for a Dutch company in the field of engineering plastics and elastomers, and as it happens another known Lego builder is on my team as well: Jaap Kroon, mostly know as TechnicJaap, is designing all kinds of technical wizardry during weekdays, but when I came with the idea to decorate my office with some of our actual machinery replicated in Lego, he was on board quickly.
We chose two machines we operate in our factory, and both of us designed and created the replicas in 1:13, conveniently easy then to use them as load for my Lego trucks as well.
Jaap build a Covestro Baule polyurethane casting machine. We operate a couple of these to produce polyurethane parts for use in for example offshore and energy markets.
I then build a Hartford LG1000 CNC milling machine. We run a couple of machines like this as well, to produce special parts for high-tech applications worldwide.
The machines can be put on a dropdeck trailer with matching Peterbilt truck. A nice eye catcher in the office, and always a cool conversation piece!

Today's story and sketch by me 1524, is about the most fantastic machine I found in a cave on Mount Danderstic, located in the far northern area of this Tropical Volcanic Planet we call Budahunga. I was on an archaeology expedition looking for signs of early inhabitants of Budahunga. I was riding Alice my favorite all terrain climbing camel, who has a nose for finding caves full of old stuff. I had to cut through twenty feet of brush before exposing the cave entrance, when I entered I found the time machine you see, Alice an I drug the machine down the mountain. While Alice was dragging, I was reading the detailed time machine operation manual. The manual says the machine was manufactured As a personal mobility time and dimension transport on the Planet Owanku, in Dimension Ten, in the year 2042, Proving it Can Traverse time and space, to have traveled here in it's past. I will have an update how to operate it soon, until then Tata the Rod Blog.
A Hawkwind classic (imo) from my younger days.
It flies
Sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your zodiac sign
I've got a silver machine
I've got a silver machine
I've got a silver machine
It flies out of a dream
It's antiseptically clean
You're gonna know where I've been

The water motion in this reminds me of a washing machine. When I was a kid I remember being mesmerized by my grandparents front loading washing machine. At home we had a top loader, so it was something new and interesting when I was little.
My Flickr Pro Account expired today. When I went to look at my stats for today I got an ad page, so I went to renew my account for another year. Overall I've been pretty happy with Flickr, so I clicked through to renew my 1-year subscription and eventually got to the end of the process and was presented with this:
"You are about to subscribe to the Yahoo! service listed above. You will be charged the total due, on an auto-renew basis, for each term as shown above, until you cancel."
As a consumer I find this kind of policy offensive. It's a tactic used by second rate companies to collect recurring subscription fees even after a customer stops using the service. Some people find automatic renewal to be convenient, but for them there has always been an option to enroll in auto-renewal. This policy change was enough to get me to take a step back and reassess what I get from Flickr, and how it compares with other sites.
The best feature Flickr Pro offers has no competitive alternative that I know of, and that is unlimited storage of full resolution photos. This is the single feature that has convinced me to renew, at least for now. At some point I am planning to build a gallery with a service like Zenfolio, or Smugmug, or one of the other similar options. Once I do, this Flickr feature will become much less important.
The other feature Flickr has that I enjoy is their groups, but since Google+ added communities I find it to be almost as good. I still think Flickr's groups are better, especially with the way photos are added, but communities are close enough, and the activity and engagement from Google+ communities is actually much better than Flickr.
My Flickr presence had about a 1 year head start on my Google+ presence, so the group I interact with on Flickr was initially much larger. Now that I've spent time on Google+ I've found that my personal community is growing many times faster than on Flickr. It's also much easier to find active relevant and interesting discussions on Google+.
Flickr has Explore, which is a huge opportunity for exposure that doesn't really exist on Google+, and only kind of exists on 500px (if you can get to the front page). The problem is, despite having improved my photography (in my opinion), and definitely increased the engagement I get on the photos I post, the last time I had a photo in explore was March of 2012 (13 months ago). Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to complain about this, and I understand it's a complex algorithm that accounts for many different factors, but if I never have a photo reach explore, it's not a relevant feature to consider when I'm deciding whether or not to continue using Flickr, or renew my Flickr Pro.
The last feature Flickr Pro offers that I do really enjoy is stats. I like to see where my photo views come from. As far as I know, nothing like this exists on other social networks.
Ultimately, I renewed my Flickr Pro for 3 months (instead of the 1-year I was originally planning) and immediately canceled it so it won't auto-renew. In 3 months, I'll reassess my Flickr use, but for now, I'll continue on. But Flickr, I want you to know I'm not happy with your policy changes, and your competition is evolving much faster than you, so our days together may be numbered.

A very old machine, but it looks clean and waiting to be fed at any moment. Yarn spools on the top and the yarn already spun below.
