I got Panasonic 7-14mm for my E-P1 about a month ago. It is a cute, wide and expensive lens, and now I am looking for a way to use it. But cannot find the time to go on a dedicated photo shoot. So this evening I decided to take some wide shots...
From the archive, Oracle twin towers in the early evening.
Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia.
I've taken a few other shots of these towers in the past - click here to view those.

Though there was much criticism of this year's America's Cup, most people agree on one thing: the boats are technological marvels. Moving at up to three times the speed of the wind, the 90-foot multihulls are some of the fastest boats under sail. Pictured here is the BMW Oracle boat, USA. Photos by BMW Oracle Racing.

Oracle Oak, Quercus xmorehus. A hybrid between Black Oak, Quercus kelloggii, and Interior Live Oak, Quercus wislizeni. Obviously only begrudgingly deciduous.
Well, I think the Analei wig looks better on my sleepy Rebecca! She's a cutie, this one! I bought the heeled feet for Sera who immediately took them and also the DC jointed hands (pics to come) but in doing so, I had to steal the ankle balls from this little girl, so I stole someone else's feet until I can figure that out (the April Story feet are super cute). Hanazahra is the one who sacrificed her feets so she got Sera's old hands-much more mature than her Angell Studio ones. So lots of swapping going on.
I meant to dye this child, but maybe she'll remain white skinned- and I believe she's blind. I need some eyes for her. Anyway, all caused by exposure to the mists she uses for her oracle-esque powers. She'll be useful for exposition, I think. She is very old, but has no way to mark the passing of time, so doesn't realize her family is long gone.
Not sure she's keeping the outfit as-is, but I kind of like it. Think she's snatched the wig off Analei's head for real!

The weather finally cooperated (sort of) and I managed to get out and and shoot a bit. I drove up to Redwood Shores, to the lair of Larry and shot around Oracle HQ. Its an impressive campus, with an impressively large security force.
On Saturday, March 21st, 2009, four Oakland Police Officers were killed in the line of duty. A Memorial Service was held in Oakland at the Oracle Arena on Friday March 27th, 2009. Thousands of Police Officers attended the service from all over the United States. The Arena was filled to capacity and overflow attendees watched the service from closed circuit televisions at the Oakland Coliseum next door. The service was broadcast on major Bay Area television stations live. The text below is taken from the Memorial Service program:
"The men and women of the Oakland Police Department would like to thank everyone who has reached out to us during this sorrowful time. The loss of a single officer is tragic; losing four officers is overwhelming. This devastating event will forever change the lives of the families, friends and colleagues of our four fallen comrades. It is in times such as these that we realize the importance of community, family and friends, and we are grateful for the incredible outpouring of support the people of Oakland, the state, the nation and the world have shown us. We appreciate the countless cards, emails, flowers, acts of service, well wishes and prayers that have been sent our way. Sergeant Mark Dunakin, Sergeant Ervin Romans, Sergeant Daniel Sakai and Officer John Hege will be forever missed and remembered."

Like my other Power Figures, this is loosely based on African Bochia and Minkisi power figures, sometimes called "nail fetishes" because of the nails and other pieces of metal that are driven into them ritually to release their magical power.
The figure (head, arms,legs, body) is entirely hand-sculpted by me.
Additive material includes acrylic “doll eye” beads hand-painted by me, replica antique doll parts, fishing net, glass beads, rusted nails.
Oracle (Power Figure)
Handmade doll sculpture. 12.75 inches tall.

Sean Tucker's airplane, the Oracle Challenger III biplane, seen here at the 2008 Aviation Nation air show at the USAF Nellis base, is claimed to produce more than 400 horsepower, and weighs only 1,200 pounds. The Challenger III is equipped with a unique set of wings that use 8 ailerons instead of 4. The tail on the airplane is modeled after the tail used on high-performance radio control airplanes.

A visit to the site known as the Oracle of Delphi or where in Greek Mythology a High Priestess of the Temple of Apollo served as the oracle. It occupies an impressive the south-western slope of Mount Parnassus overlooking the coastal plain to the south and the valley of Phocis.

These buildings are just down the street from us and I love to go over there as, behind the whole Oracle complex, there are acres of wetlands bordering to the San Francisco Bay.
