I owe this shot to Brant, a film photog I met on a detour through Alabama Hills.
I had a quick chat with him while shooting Mobius Arch that Friday morning, and I didn't think I'd see him again, until we ran into each other at Badwater to shoot sunset. After that, we pretty much just shot at all the same places most of the weekend.
Anyway, he left me a voicemail Saturday afternoon of that weekend, saying he had found a salt flat with formations, water, and potential. He had spotted it from Dante's View with his long telephoto! I made my way there and it was great!
It wasn't that big at all, but there were some pretty cool formations, and it was partially flooded. Bordering it were other salt formations similar to that of Devil's Golf Course, and it had nice views of both the Panamint Range and Amargosa Range.
And the best part- we were the only ones there! Maybe cause it was off a dirt road, but it still surprised me that with all the photogs I'd seen at DV that weekend, nobody else was at this site.We shot there the rest of that afternoon/sunset and then the following morning.
This shot was from the morning. We still had the whole place to ourselves and we joked that everyone was probably forming a row of shooters at Zabriskie Point, like what you see in the Death Valley posters.
I don't want to be selfish though, so if you don't know about this site already and wanna check it out, I've marked it on the map. Coming from Badwater Rd., drive a couple of miles down West Side Rd. till you see a small pocket on the left that can fit 2 or 3 cars. Park there and walk about 100 yards further down the road till you see the salt formations on either side of the road.
A landscape shot of the Mara? Look closely. There is something sitting in the big wild olive tree. Our guides routinely found these treasures from much further away than this picture was shot. We owe them so much for making this such an amazing adventure.

35mm & 120 transparency, taped together and photographed in a 10x8 large format camera.
Owing to my continued trouble acquiring a new scanner, and acknowledging that when I do get one this work'll still be horrendously awkward to scan, I taped them to the window and took a few shots. This is what I've been working on of late, an advancement of my Together/Apart series. Still very much a work in progress.

Southeast Financial Center is a two-acre development in Miami, Florida, United States. It consists of a 764 feet (233 m) tall office skyscraper and its 15-story parking garage. It was previously known as the Southeast Financial Center (1984–1992), the First Union Financial Center (1992–2003), and the Wachovia Financial Center (2003-2011). In 2011, it retook its old name of Southeast Financial Center as Wachovia merged with Wells Fargo and moved to the nearby Wells Fargo Center.
When topped-off in August 1983, it was the tallest building south of New York City and east of the Mississippi River, taking away the same title from the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel, in Atlanta, Georgia. It remained the tallest building in the southeastern U.S. until 1987, when it was surpassed by One Atlantic Center in Atlanta and the tallest in Florida until October 1, 2003, when it was surpassed by the Four Seasons Hotel and Tower, also in Miami. It remains the tallest office tower in Florida and the third tallest building in Miami.
Southeast Financial Center was constructed in three years with more than 500 construction workers. Approximately 6,650 tons of structural steel, 80,000 cubic yards of concrete and 7000 cubic tons of reinforcing steel bars went into its construction. The complex sits on a series of reinforced concrete grade beams tied to 150 concrete caissons as much as ten feet in diameter and to a depth of 80 feet. A steel space-frame canopy with glass skylights covers the outdoor plaza between the tower and low-rise building.
The tower has a composite structure. The exterior columns and beams are concrete encased steel wide flanges surrounded by reinforcing bars. The composite exterior frame was formed using hydraulic steel forms, or "flying forms," jacked into place with a "kangaroo" crane, that was located in the core and manually clamped into place. Wide flange beams topped by a metal deck and concrete form the interior floor framing. The core is A braced steel frame, designed to laterally resist wind loads. The construction of one typical floor was completed every five days.
The low-rise banking hall and parking building is a concrete-framed structure. Each floor consists of nearly an acre of continuously poured concrete. When the concrete had sufficiently hardened, compressed air was used to blow the forms fiberglass forms from under the completed floor. It was then rolled out to the exterior where it was raised by crane into position for the next floor.
The building was recognized as Miami's first and only office building to be certified for the LEED Gold award in January 2010.
The center was developed by a partnership consisting of Gerald D. Hines Interests, Southeast Bank and Corporate Property Investors for $180 million. It was originally built as the headquarters for Southeast Bank, which originally occupied 50 percent of the complex's space. It remained Southeast Bank's headquarters there until it was liquidated in 1991.
The Southeast Financial Center comprises two buildings: the 55-story office tower and the 15-story parking annex. The tower has 53 stories of office space. The first floor is dedicated for retail, the second floor is the lobby and the 55th floor was home to the luxurious Miami City Club. The parking annex has 12 floors of parking space for 1,150 cars. The first floor is dedicated for retail, the second floor is a banking hall and the 15th floor has the Downtown Athletic Club. A landscaped plaza lies between the office tower and the parking annex. An enclosed walkway connects the second story of the tower with the second story of the annex. The courtyard is partially protected from the elements by a steel and glass space frame canopy spanning the plaza and attached to the tower and annex. Southeast Bank's executive offices were located on the 38th floor. Ground was broken on the complex on December 12, 1981 and the official dedication and opening for the complex was held on October 23, 1984.
The Southeast Financial Center was designed by Edward Charles Bassett of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The Associate Architect was Spillis Candela & Partners. It has 1,145,311 ft² (106,000 m²) of office space. A typical floor has about 22,000 ft² (2,043.87 m²) of office space. Each floor has 9 ft x 9 ft (2.7 m x 2.7 m) floor to ceiling windows. (All of the building's windows are tinted except for the top floor, resulting in strikingly bright and clear views from there.) The total complex has over 2.2 million ft² (204,000 m²). The distinctive setbacks begin at the 43rd floor. Each typical floor plate has 9 corner offices and the top twelve floors have as many as 16. There are 43 elevators in the office tower. An emergency control station provides computerized monitoring for the entire complex, and four generators for backup power.
The Southeast Financial Center can be seen as far away as Ft. Lauderdale and halfway toward Bimini. Night space shuttle launches from Cape Canaveral 200 miles to the north were plainly visible from the higher floors. The roof of the building was featured in the Wesley Snipes motion picture Drop Zone, where an eccentric base jumper named Swoop parachutes down to the street from a suspended window cleaning trolley. The building also appeared in several episodes of the 1980s TV show Miami Vice and at the end of each episode's opening credits.
Zara founder Amancio Ortega purchased the building from J.P. Morgan Asset Management in December 2016. The purchase price was reportedly over $500 million, making it one of the largest real estate transactions in South Florida history.

The Fort Lauderdale station is an inter-city rail station located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is served by Brightline, which connects Miami, West Palm Beach, and Orlando International Airport. The station is located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, on NW 2nd Avenue between Broward Boulevard and NW 4th Street, adjacent to the Broward County Transit's Central Terminal.
Construction for the station began in October 2014 with the demolition of existing structures on the site. The complex consists of an elevated concourse above an 800-foot-long (240 m), 35-foot-wide (11 m) island platform for the trains. The station is a modern-style structure with illuminated V-shaped columns supporting the upper concourse, echoing the designs of the Miami and West Palm Beach stations on the line. It was planned and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects, and was completed in January 2018.

Anyone Know What This Might Be?
I just went out and got the mail. When I opened it, I found this. There are two electrical modules. One looks like a timer and the other -- I have no idea. The three sticks have warnings printed all over them, which makes me kind of nervous. Fortunately, it came with some documentation: one appears to be some kind of a manifesto and the other is instructions on how to plug it in, set it and turn it on.
I really need to start keeping better track of my eBay purchases.
If you got one, photograph it, the world must know of this new terrorism!

“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”
― Mark Twain
The origin Hungarian title (Csepp a "fű szállón") is originated from a Hungarian wordplay (pun) owing to one of my teammate. For foreign language speakers:"csepp" means drop,"fű" means grass and "szálló" means hotel and "szállón" means "in the hotel". The mosaic word "fű szállón" is very similar to the following phrase:"fűszálon" which means "to be on the grass haulm" and my teammate told me it seems the waterdrop relaxes on the grasshaulm as you relax in the hotel. :) So this is the story of the Hungarian title.
