Kirkjubøur is the Faroe Islands' most important historical site with the ruins of the Magnus Cathedral from around 1300 (under restauration on the right), the Saint Olav's Church from 12th century (from which doorway this photo was taken as it was raining and very windy) and the old farmhouse Kirkjubøargarður from 11th century (centre). I hope for better weather this summer, as it is so beautiful there, and I'd really like to get some nice photos! Hardly got any last time. Mainly due to the weather, but also because of caravan and scaffolding.

Magnus Stifter (1878-1943) was an Austrian actor and film director, who acted in well over 100 German - mostly silent - films.
Magnus Stifter attended the commercial academy and received his training as an actor with Otto. In 1899 he made his debut in Innsbruck, in 1901 he played in Salzburg, in 1903 in Linz and from 1905 to 1908 in Berlin. In the 1908/09 season he acted at the Deutsches Theater in New York. In 1909 he received an engagement at the Schauspielhaus Dresden and at the same time the title "Hofschauspieler". His repertoire here included Egmont, Mercutio and Fiesco.
At the beginning of the First World War, Stifter was a lieutenant in the artillery, but it was around this time that his career as a sought-after silent film actor began. After an occasional bit part in the Asta Nielsen film Weisse Rosen (Urban Gad, 1914), his film career really set off in 1916. That year, he also directed two films with Asta Nielsen: Dora Brandes and Das Liebes-ABC, both with Ludwig Trautmann co-acting. In 1917 he acted opposite Pola Negri in a string of films (Wenn das Herz in Haß erglüht, Küsse, die man stiehlt im Dunkeln, Die toten Augen), while he had minor part in Negri's films Carmen (1918) and Kreuziget sie! (1919), and played the Spanish ambassador in Negri's Madame Dubarry (1919). In 1917 Stifter also acted opposite the main actresses of late 1910s German cinema: Asta Nielsen (Die Rose der Wildnis), Hella Moja (Der Schwur der Renate Rabenau), Lotte Neumann (Die Richterin), Erna Morena (Rafaela), and Ellen Richter (Für die Ehre des Vaters; Strandgut/ Die Rache des Meeres). In 1918-1919 he continued with films starring Hella Moja, Ellen Richter, but also Helga Molander, Hanne Brinkmann, Gertrud Welcker, Ria Jende (Seelenverkäufer, 1919), Eva May (Staatsanwalt Jordan, 1919), Bruno Kastner (Zwischen zwei Welten, 1919), Mia May (Veritas vincit, 1919), Manja Tzatschewa, Carola Toelle, etc. He alternated leads with major supporting parts, often playing fathers, police commissioners, and so on.
In the early 1920s, Stifter remained highly active, mostly in supporting parts, such as the friend of the lead (Conrad Veidt) In F.W. Murnau's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde's adaptation Der Januskopf (1920), and the first friend and then fiend of the lead Hans Mierendorff in Paul Leni's Die Verschwörung zu Genua (1921). But mostly Stifter had supporting parts in many genre films such as crime and detective films, adventure films, comedies and melodramas, among which several Joe Deebs detective films starring Ferdinand von Alten, star vehicles with Lya Mara, and adventure films with Italian strongman Luciano Albertini. Major parts Stifter had in e.g. the two-part Zalamort. Der Traum der Zalavie (Emilio Ghione, 1923-24) starring Emilio Ghione and Fern Andra, Orient (Gennaro Righelli, 1924) starring Harry Liedtke and Maria Jacobini, G'schichten aus dem Wiener Wald (Jaap Speyer, 1928) starring Eric Barclay and Fritz Schulz, and Verirrte Jugend (Richard Löwenbein, 1929). The latter was probably Stifter's last major part in film - even if several small ones would still follow, in the early sound era. As Stifter's film work diminished in the 1920s, he turned more to the theatre again. From 1929 he worked at the Theater der Jugend and from 1934 at the Theater des Volkes. At the Stage Arbitration Court and Labour Court he acted, among other things, as umpire, secretary and assessor. His son Magnus Stifter (1906-1940) also became an actor. All in all, Magnus Stifter acted in 110 films.

Name: Magnus
Type: Rumble

Special Ability: Tank mode
Description: This mech equipped with unusual wheelbase, which gives it an incredible cross-country, but requires sacrifice speed. It is designed with an emphasis on its durability and resistance to weather conditions and this allows it to withstand the test seriously, which can be found on the road.
Build notes: I started to build this mech because of the idea of his legs and interesting built-in wheels. I decided that for such feet need a massive body, resembling a tank base.
they make such a great team!!
and that's the last of my polaroids from last year's Iceland trip -- now only medium-format film and digitals remain!
Pretty in pink.
Magnus.
He did'nt want to be photographed and put his homework-paper in front of the face, when I started to shoot he threatned me with some candypaper. The candypaper-attack and the pink light from the curtains was a nice effect.
Magnus is a cyborg. He once was a human until a fatal injury forced Mark and Maia to turn him into a cyborg to safe his life.

More photos of Tiny. In fact a whole slew of them from the archives. So many photos that have never seen the light of day. Actually, one person found one of them buried in the back of my stream. Must have been exploring my Magnus set! All clickable, of course.
