I've always loved Peter Max. He is pretty much my best day ever.
Yesterday evening I went to see Max at his foster home. He is doing quite well there. He sleeps every night with the daughter Gracie and he tends to stay in the bedroom/bathroom area of the house for now, though he has free access to the entire house. The family loves him and are doing their best to make him feel at home. He is still adapting to his situation, but I am very pleased he is where he's at; I think the foster family will be very good for him.

The beginning of 2024 has not been a good start to The Boeing Company after suffering a major setback following the accident involving an Alaska Airlines Being 737 MAX 9 on 5th January 2024, which saw the aircraft suffering a rapid decompression when the aft door plug blew out on climb out from Portland, Oregon. The resulting accident saw the US FAA issue an emergency airworthiness directive which were also implemented by other aviation agencies, and the eventual grounding of Boeing 737 MAX 9s featuring the plugged doors.
The investigation relating to Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 remains ongoing with the US NTSB being the lead investigators of the accident; however, information continues to come out relating to the accident and the wider issues surrounding Boeing and the use of subcontractors, in this case, Spirit AeroSystems who manufacture the Boeing 737 fuselages.
Since the accident, both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines, the biggest operators of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 at the time of writing noted loose bolts where the plug door assembly is located. Prior to the accident, there have issues relating to missing rivets from select Boeing 737 fuselages that were manufactured by Spirit AeroSystems leading to Boeing's Renton factory to delay deliveries for additional inspections to fuselages when they undergo final assembly.
The case of the incident airframe recently came to light and has been reported by the reputable The Air Current aviation news site; essentially this airframe was amongst the number of fuselages that were inspected by Boeing during final assembly which also saw the aft plug door being removed and incorrectly reinstalled following inspection and prior to delivery... At no time following delivery did Alaska Airlines inspect or remove the plug door during inauguration into traffic.
As airlines have continued to inspect the Boeing 737 MAX 9s and Boeing issuing guidance to resolve these issues, the US FAA have recently lifted the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX 9s, on the proviso that they have been thoroughly inspected and there are no defects with the plug door. As of 25th January 2024, Copa Airlines were the first airline to reintroduce select Boeing 737 MAX 9s back into service, with Alaska Airlines expected to return their Boeing 737 MAX 9s into service as early as 26th January 2024, and United Airlines reintroducing theirs no later than 28th January 2024.
The grounding has caused further damage to Boeing's reputation, the company still grappling following the 2 previous Boeing 737 MAX 8 accidents in late-2018 and early-2019, the ongoing delayed certification of the Boeing 737 MAX 7, Boeing 737 MAX 10 and the Boeing 777X, as well as slow deliveries of the Boeing 787 following the restarting of their production. Airlines have gone on record to express their dissatisfaction with Boeing over recent issues. Alaska Airlines have also faced criticism for not inspecting the aircraft following delivery from Boeing, and the subject to joke in a sketch by Saturday Night Live.
The FAA as a result of the accident will increase oversight relating to the production of Boeing 737 MAX airframes, to ensure due diligence with quality control inspections; any increase in production rate to the narrow-body jet won't go-ahead unless meeting requirements by the FAA. This year will be make or break for Boeing...
Currently, Alaska Airlines operates 232 Boeing 737s, which includes which includes 11 Boeing 737-700s, 3 Boeing 737-700BDSFs, 59 Boeing 737-800s, 2 Boeing 737-800BCFs, 12 Boeing 737-900s, 79 Boeing 737-900ERs, one Boeing 737 MAX 8 and 65 Boeing 737 MAX 9s. Alaska Airlines have 14 Boeing 737 MAX 8s, 15 Boeing 737 MAX 9s and 102 Boeing 737 MAX 10s on-order.

French comedian Max Linder (1883-1925), with his trademark silk hat, stick and moustache was an influential pioneer of the silent film. He was largely responsible for the creation of the classic style of silent slapstick comedy and he was the highest paid entertainer of his day.
Max Linder was born Gabriel-Maximilien Leuvielle in 1883 in Saint-Loubès, Gironde, France to a Jewish wine growing family. He grew up with a passion for the theater and at 17 he dropped out of school in order to join a touring theater troupe, which did not please his parents.. While working in Paris as an actor in the theater and vaudeville, Leuvielle became fascinated with motion pictures. In 1905 he took a job with Pathé Frères and in the following years he became a comedic actor, director, screenwriter, as well as a producer under the stage name, Max Linder. His debut was La première sortie d'un collégien/First Night Out (1905, Louis J. Gasnier). He created what was probably the first identifiable film character: ‘Max’, an elegant, joyful, romantic, top-hatted dandy, who appeared for the first time in Les Debuts d'un patineur/Max Learns to Skate (1907, Louis J. Gasnier) and would return in successive situation comedies. ‘Gentleman Max’ was frequently in hot water because of his penchant for beautiful women and the good life. When in his credits for Max et la doctoresse/Max and the female doctor (1909, Max Linder) the text “written by Max Linder and played by the author” appeared, it was the first time in film history that an author was mentioned in connection with a cinematic work.
After comedian André Deed went to Italy, Max Linder moved up to the comedy star No. 1 for Pathé. In 1910 he shot one comedy each week. By 1911, Linder was directing all his own films as well as writing the script and the universality of silent films brought Linder fame and fortune throughout Europe. By 1912, he was the highest-paid film star in the world, with an unprecedented salary of one million francs. His success didn't have any limits: whether Spain, Germany, Italy or Russia, Max Linder was everywhere welcomed with enthusiasm during his live entrances in the capital cities. In Russia the police had to call the Army for help so that Linder was able to leave the Moscow railroad station. One of the best and one of his more successful examples of his type of humor is the one-reeler Max et la Statue/Max and the Statue (1912, Max Linder). Max attends a costume ball, dressed as a suit of armor. After drinking too much at the party, he passes out on the sidewalk. Meanwhile, during the evening, a new suit of armor to be unveiled at the Louvre the next day is stolen by a pair of thieves. The police, discovering the theft, stumble upon Max. They take him back to the Louvre where he is unveiled for the Museum committee. They depart, whereupon the thieves return, take Max, and, back in the hideout, attempt to open the armor with tools. Max awakens, scares the burglars, then, in the final frame, strolls away, strumming a guitar. The weekly adventures of Max were impatiently awaited by faithful and enthusiastic audiences. In 1914 Linder decided to realize one of his old dreams: to start a cinema. He bought a cinema in Paris with 1,200 sears, created in 1912, the Kosmorama. The Ciné Max Linder opened in December 1914. World War I brought a temporary end to Linder's career in film. Physically unfit for combat duty, he worked as a dispatch driver during the war until he was seriously wounded. He was gassed, and the illness that resulted would blight his career.
While in the hospital in 1916, Max Linder was visited by George K. Spoor, president of Essanay films. Having lost Charlie Chaplin, Spoor wanted Linder to "take his place" and offered him $5,000 per week to write, direct, and star in 12 three-reel comedies to be made in the studio's Chicago location. Linder went to the USA, but his first few American-made Max films didn't make the same impression as the Chaplin shorts. Recurring ill-health meant that his US films had little of the sparkle of his early French work. After only three were completed Linder headed back to Europa because of a pleurisy (according to Thomas Staedeli), or (according to Wikipedia) because Essanay could no longer afford to sustain the series, and cancelled production of the remaining films on his contract. For the convalescence of his pleurisy Linder went to the lake of Geneva. In 1919 it seemed like Max was his old self again and his screen version of Le Petit Café/The Little Cafe (1919, Raymond Bernard) was received enthusiastically by critics and audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. He made another attempt at filmmaking in Hollywood for the recently-formed United Artists (one of whose founders was Chaplin). He worked as a film producer, screenwriter, director and leading actor in three films: Seven Years Bad Luck (1921, Max Linder), Be My Wife (1921, Max Linder), and the film he considered his best, the inventive parody The Three Must-Get-Theres (1922, Max Linder). Endowed with an overflowing imagination, he filled his films with an inexhaustible variety of gags. For example, Max was the original creator of the genius mirror gag in Seven Years Bad Luck, which the Marx Brothers used so memorably in their film Duck Soup (1933). These later films are now regarded as classics. However, the work exhausted Max, and after finishing the last film he left the United States once again. Back in France he appeared in only two more films. In Au Secours!/Help! (1923, Abel Gance) he played a tragic part; later he forbade the showing because he feared his reputation as a comedian in danger. His last film, Der Zirkuskönig /King of the Circus (1924, Max Linder, Édouard-Émile Violet) with Vilma Bánky, was made in Vienna, Austria. For the film Chevalier Barkas/The Knight Barkas he contacted the in those days unknown director René Clair. But the film would never be realized.
The aftereffects of Max Linder's war service was that he suffered from continuing health problems including bouts of severe depression. In 1923, he married the 18 year old Hélène Peters, a wealthy Paris heiress, with whom he had a daughter, Maud. That same year he closed his Max-Linder cinema in Paris (which he had opened in 1914). The emotional problems besetting Linder evidenced themselves when he and his wife made a suicide pact. In early 1924 they attempted suicide at a hotel in Vienna, Austria. They were found and were recuperated, but on October 31, 1925 Linder and his wife were successful in taking their own lives in Paris. After Linder's death, Chaplin dedicated one of his films: "For the unique Max, the great master - his student Charles Chaplin". But in the ensuing years, Max Linder was relegated to little more than a footnote in film history until 1963 when a compilation film titled En compagnie de Max Linder/Laugh with Max Linder was released, and his daughter made a documentary film titled L'homme au chapeau de soie/The Man in the Silk Hat (1983). Max Linder's comic gestures, planned expressions, anachronisms, contrasts, and use of the unexpected, as well as his comic chase scenes (pursuits) were the comic inspiration for generations of comedians. Max Linder appeared in more than 400 films, mostly short comedies. Only about 82 survive.

I'm going to veer away from the concert photos for a while and concentrate on photo shoots. Lately I've been feeling that I haven't been growing as a photographer, and so I'm going to put all my creative effort into working on my fashion and conceptual photo shoot skills.
Anyway, on to the picture. This was a debutante my team and I shot a while back, as part of an editorial package we offer for 18th birthday celebrants. This has to be one of my favorite shots from the shoot because of, 1) the set (it's gorgeous) and 2) the movement of the skirt.
This shot used two(2) continuous lights positioned on Max's left and right.
Just a pair of Post-Apoc characters and their vehicle. Back view with their guns, sextant, and flashlight.
So in lego world builder: worldbuilder.tongal.com/world/29bd7d16-c96c-420e-8eb8-186...
this moc are now in lego idea.
link: and nope its a fail. cauz i use of cop alien.
here the project text:
Set 966 69: The revenge of Fury Kitty.
This set was initially a simple personal MOC aiming to make tribute to the world of Mad Max but with that humor that made me giggle while watching the lego movies. Then i make it, my mind is put to make a story for them, nothing crazy we all do that. Once i was finished, my son enjoying the moc and the associated history so much that when we discovered the lego idea site he asked me to 'post' it. But the 'little story' invented to justify the existence of this bunch of broken arms is not enough to bring the project to life. We must invent the MLU: Multi License Universe. As in the film, it goes from one country to another in its own form but in addition it is able to travel through all the licenses acquired by lego.
Fury Kitty and his team are capable of crossing the universe of all Lego licenses or traveling with lego. The possibilities are endless (yes its a bit Marvel copy, but a tiny bit;))! Of course we need a common thread that justifies this adventure through the lego worlds. How about revenge? Indeed, a very long time ago to acquire more powers Lord Business made a deal with Queen Fury Kitty (UniKitty's mother) She had to abandon her kingdom and become empress of the lego underworld. In exchange, Lord Business stops selling toxic products from his industrial companies in the land of the perched clouds and leaves his daughter UniKitty to become the next queen (the kingdom of UniKitty in the lego movie). Fury Kitty accepts. But she soon realized that she had been ripped off. Lego being toys they cannot die. The only way for a lego to get to hell is to be forgotten by everyone, for some lego that never happens. Deciding well on this revenge she travels the lego universes in search of his enemy jurer, Lord Business (nope, he did not die during the explosion of the kragle at the end of the first film ... he just disappeared :) ).
Fury Kitty and all his team will therefore be the heros of a series such as rick and morty, solar opposed or Futurama. Quirky spirit, totally ubiquitous situation, dark humor, burelesque and a little trashy (but less than the adultswim series). All in PEGI 14/16.
The team:
FuryKitty: The Empress of the Hell lego. So certainly a lego does not die. But it can get to hell. By forgetting, once a lego is forgotten by all it ends up in hell and inevitably appears in front of FuryKitty (this is why furykitty knows that lord business is not dead nor forgetting by all). This is how fury kitty recruited his gang. Much like Deadpool, Fury Kitty knows that she is a fictional character and more specifically a toy.
Hot Road Max: FuryKitty's Living Car. HRM is able to travel from one lego universe to another as soon as it reaches 88mph. Yes she eat Doc's Deloreane. Besides, HRM often eats Fury Kitty's enemies. This is how it fills up. Unfailingly loyal, HRM has special ties to Lieutenant Gunmerick's pilot.
Lieutenant Gunmerick: FuryKitty's first recruit. A Victorian scotland yard inspector. But once he retired, he quickly fell into oblivion. Fury Kitty gave meaning to its existence. Since then he has been the pilot of HRM and right-hand man of FuryKitty.
CopAlien: A xenomorph rejected by its pairs. Why ? A childhood dream, to become a police officer! He is secretly in love with Fury Kitty. CopAlien doesn't have a weapon, he is a weapon. But on the other hand he loves his plate, the only proof that he is an good xenomorph. Then people run away if he doesn't show them his license plate ... in fact they always run away.
Satyr çacogne: A prince from an ancient Greek kingdom who is almost forgotten by everyone. The prince wants to marry Fury Kitty in order to restore his kingdom to its former power. But Fury Kitty is not interested in. Only revenge counts. If Fury Kitty tolerates her presence it is for a completely different reason, that she will never surround (I assure you its not love).
The set has 1355 pieces.
This set could be the basis of a great adventure. An epic as funny as it is gripping. For that we just need 10,000 votes!
So for my Spring Break I didn't go anywhere exotic or thrilling. I did, however, go to Florida to visit my Grampa and spend some time with him. He's been the closest to a father figure in my life and he and I used to be very close. With my constant moving and constant stress, I lost touch with him over the last 4 years. I DEEPLY regret the times he came up to visit in Nebraska when I was in high school because I didn't spend much time with him (to me coding and editing photos were so much more "cool" than hanging out with him at 13), so I'm trying to make up for lost time. I know I can never get those years back though, and it kills me.
Anyway, while I've been down here, I've been hanging out with him all day (except for last Sunday and this coming Sunday; those have been Disney days with the guys, who are about 20 minutes from here recording with James Paul Wisner). Since I've been hanging out with him all of the time, I haven't taken any photos (I kind of regret not lugging my camera along to the beach). My Grampa has an ugly little dog, Max, who likes to take my stuff and hide it. This is him.
