A rushed image to be honest, when I checked my original choice I noticed a refection, sadly I was at a different location by then Grrr.
I would like to express my thanks to my Daughter Helen for all her hard work, time and effort in running a fascinating challenge.
Of the hundreds of bear shots I ultimately took, this was the very first. All shots after this day were taken from the relative safety of a small boat, handled by a very experienced skipper. For this sow, I was on foot, on the opposite bank of the Atnarko River among some other tourists who I hoped looked tastier than I!
As I was in search of inspiration for a new clock design, I lit this single tube, capriciously selecting the number five. It remained lit on my work table for five days, after which and coincidentally, the final design was complete in my mind. It was then time to set to work.

" We had new orders ! Destroy the A-series assassin droids, before they could kill some Jedi. I kinda failed. Kinda. For me it is okay, but less for command. I destroyed every assassin droids I met , but some of them found some Jedis, and Padawans before me. Not even able to protect themselves from a droid. I have the feeling that we, from the 253rd, are the babysitters of these Jedis. I had to take care of a Padawan who's master was lost. By lost, I mean he was killed. The Jedi, his apprentice and a couple of clone attacked a trench held by Nationalists. Most of the clone died. Well, all of them in fact. The Jedis made it into the trench, and started to cut some arms. And head. Stuffs like that. But then the assassin droid I was tracking found them. He shot the Jedi in the back, and was about to do the same to the Padawan, but I killed it before it could do that regrettable act . Then the Padawan get shot by one of the few Nationalists who were remaining. I finished what the Jedis started in the trench. Only one Nationalist was alive. He was yelling in pain, as the Jedi, before he died, cut his leg.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Hey, Padawan. Achieve this man. He's suffering.
/Padawan/ .. No ! I ... I can't ! I can't ! No !! Help me to get out of there !
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Not until you achieve him.
/Padawan/ Why don't you do it yourself ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Always the clones who have to do the dirty work right ? No, I don't want to.
/Padawan/ You said he was suffering. Do it
/CT-1024-52, Me/ No. I don't give a fuck if he's suffering. I don't want to. You should be happy that I'm not mutilating him right now. But, you don't like to see him suffer. You're a Jedi after all. Well, sort of.
He stabbed the men in is heart
/Padawan/ Now help to get out of here. I'm wounded.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ I don't care. Get out that trench alone. I already saved your life. Twice.
/Padawan/ Twice ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ The A-serie droid first, then the Nationalists. Twice. Now get out of there, we're moving. The command, unlike me, would be happy to see a Jedi alive. Even if you're not really a Jedi.
/Padawan/ You're completly insane.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Yeap, I know. I'm fucked up. I'm a bit of a psychopath... But adapted to this war.
Indeed I was. Jabiim is an hell. I liked it at first, but now, I just want to get out of there. Because of the wrong decisions from command, we will lost. It's sure. Alpha, Kenobi, and most of the Jedis generals are missing. Or dead. I think that none of us will leave this planet alive."

Winnipegger into the early morning light arrival at SPUD. Was very dark, so tweaked for more light almost to grainy, sorry 'bout that. Old CNW tracks from Western Ave via Chestnut St. at old Pioneer Press warehouse and on to stub by FO&K on left.
This is picture number 12 of 100 in my 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page.
I saw Angelica out of the corner of my eye as I was passing - a clearly well dressed woman, even though I couldn't see a face, as she was turned away from me. I continued a little, and started thinking how much could be done with a hat in a portrait. But who was beneath that hat? I had no idea, but decided, in the spirit of the project to go back and ask to take the photo regardless of who I found.
Angelica is originally from Hungary, but has lived here for over 30 years. She is a very friendly, conversational person and we chatted a lot about just about everything for the time I was there (which in the end was cut short as it was starting to rain).
It bothers me that this should be a colour portrait - the colours of Angelica's outfit were bright and fun, and were what had caught my eye. Yet somehow, it just didn't work in the photo. I am really inspired by photographers who produce great colour portraits, and I am determined to make that an objective in my forthcoming stranger portraits.
Overall, I'm happy with my boldness in asking a practically unseen person for their photo, I'm pleased with how the doorway as a backdrop worked, and most of all, I think it's quite a flattering photo of a more senior person.
For Steam Sunday here's another from my visit last December to the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway Museum. This is truly a special place that is worthy of a visit in any season.
After making eight round trips from Sheepscot Yard to Alna and the charming outdoor Christmas Market at Sea Lyon Farm their day is finally done. Having debarked the last passengers the dimutive 2 ft narrow gauge train pulled back north out of the station track and now are shoving back south on the lead to put their coaches and caboose in the barn and their locomotive in the roundhouse.
WW&F 0-4-4T number 9 was built by the Portland Company in 1891 for another of Maine's two foot pikes, the Sandy River Railroad. Successor Sandy River & Rangely Lakes sold her in 1924 to the Kennebec Central where she ran for less than a decade before being sold once again in 1933 to the WW&F in its last year before abandonment. Restored to service in 2016 she now regularly operates here on the very route she worked in her last year of revenue service.

A lone Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) does its best to blend inconspicuously with a number of Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) and Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus) in Santa Barbara, California. There is a line in 'My Cousin Vinny' when Marisa Tomei's character looks at Joe Pesci and says sarcastically, "Oh yeah, you blend" as he attempts (and fails) to negotiate small-town America. The general dustbin for the flotsam of distant popular culture that is my brain could not stop inwardly chuckling when I spied the Skimmer.
My oldest son and I visited Southern California a few months ago to see a few colleges and talk with admissions and athletics staff. In Santa Barbara, we found some reasonable tacos in a tiny restaurant then did what apparently most tourists do and wandered out to Stearns Wharf for a spell after strolling along the beach, checking out birds and waves. The Wharf was constructed in 1872 by someone named Stearns, and apparently it was something of a boon to the local economy. Without the wharf, there was no place between Los Angeles and San Francisco for a deep-water ocean going ship to tie up. It was necessary for boat passengers wishing to visit Santa Barbara to be rowed ashore through kelp and breakers. Old Man Stearns was in the lumber business, and the wharf was also critical to getting his logs and other freight shipped to market.
Today, Stearns Wharf accommodates several restaurants, tourist shops, ice cream parlors, and above all, parking. Looking at the wharf from the air, it is clear that there is room for a row of shops to line each side, and that would leave plentiful outdoor seating space while creating a plaza like experience. However, ever in service of our beloved automobiles, the good city council people and planners in Santa Barbara have evidently found it compelling to devote a great deal of this prime real estate to the humble parking lot. I suppose if you can't drive there, it doesn't count.
