A new office means a new look! Photography was used to make this company feel at home in a new location in Brooklyn.

Tucked up against the weather, I think the strip down has begun in this image. I can't work out what the building is behind but I can't imagine the shabby condition is related to the recent hurried arrival of the Blenheim..

monetary value detail from a 1973 Canadian one dollar bill
Points of Interest:
The one dollar bill was replaced by the one dollar coin, named the loonie in 1987
The Canadian two dollar bill was replaced by the two dollar coin, named the "toonie" in 1996
Both bills are currently out of circulation
Lots of detail when viewed LARGE

We hit the road early-ish yesterday as we had a few leads we wanted to check out. All in all, we did over 500 kms ending up in Advocate Harbour which I have to admit was rather underwhelming as a community but hey, we can tick it off the list.
This house was one we'd known about but it was really hard to find. It seems that the house is part of an estate dispute although based on the state of it, if they argue much longer about ownership, there won't be anything left to have.
A huge barn at the back had collapsed, a garage had collapsed with the car inside and much of the upper floor of the house had collapsed.
After exploring the house, and walking the perimeter of it, the house was much larger than we had thought from the inside so we can only conclude that somewhere among the rubble was a second stair case leading up to to the rooms which had fallen into the ground floor.
Thank you for viewing my photos. Your comments/critique are always welcome and appreciated.
Won Park is the master of Origami. He is also called the "money folder", a practitioner of origami whose canvas is the United States One Dollar Bill. Bending, twisting, and folding, he creates life-like shapes in stunning detail.
I booked a boat from San Diego to hopefully get some sights of blue whales who were migrating up the coast. The skipper told us that a lone Orca had been spotted a few miles away and when we got there it put on a show for over an hour, here are a few of the shots I took.
Groot Langtoon
(Actophilornis africanus)
African jacanas are conspicuous and unmistakable birds. They are about 30 cm long, but females are larger than males. They have chestnut upperparts with black wingtips, rear neck, and eyestripe. The underparts are also chestnut in the adults, only in juveniles they are white with a chestnut belly patch. The blue bill extends up as a coot-like head shield, and the legs and long toes are grey.
African jacanas breed throughout sub-Saharan Africa. It is sedentary apart from seasonal dispersion. It lays four black-marked brown eggs in a floating nest.
The jacana has evolved a highly unusually polyandrous mating system, meaning that one female mates with multiple males and the male alone cares for the chicks. Such a system has evolved due to a combination of two factors: firstly, the lakes that the jacana lives on are so resource-rich that the relative energy expended by the female in producing each egg is effectively negligible. Secondly the jacana, as a bird, lays eggs and eggs can be equally well incubated and cared for by a parent bird of either gender. This means that the rate-limiting factor of the jacana's breeding is the rate at which the males can raise and care for the chicks. Such a system of females forming harems of males is in direct contrast to the more usual system of leks seen in animals such as stags and grouse, where the males compete and display in order to gain harems of females.
The parent that forms part of the harem is almost always the one that ends up caring for the offspring; in this case, each male jacana incubates and rears a nest of chicks. The male African jacana has therefore evolved some remarkable adaptations for parental care, such as the ability to pick up and carry chicks underneath its wings.

One overcast March day back in 1974, when I worked at the Jane Hodge Holiday Home, we took the youngsters on a visit to the sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr, which is a vast area of natural dune and scrubland adjoining the Glamorgan heritage Coast. The kids had a whale of a time running up and down the dunes and riding on the sand sledges, for days afterwards we were still finding sand in their pockets, shoes and wellington boots.
The last in this set and Brian charges down the dune on a sand sledge whilst David waits his turn. OK, I've cheated here and added a sky, but it helps to balance the photo a little without that huge expanse of blankness.
From 1968 to 1974 I worked at the Jane Hodge Holiday Home at Trerhyngyll in the Vale of Glamorgan. The home was dedicated to providing short term "holidays" or respite care for disabled children of all abilities. Some of the youngsters were severely disabled, others not so, indeed sometimes it was hard to tell they had any form of disability at all. During my time at the home I took over 400 colour slide photographs and have about three times that number of black and white negatives as well as some 8mm ciné film. On another day we returned to the dunes where the youngsters played in the little stream which I have already shown you in another set.

I took this from what is known as Hendrik Point, which I am pretty sure is some kind of an old military base. I want to say I saw a sign that said there used to be huge cannons located here, and were designed to protect the Golden Gate Area. There are all kinds of abandoned concrete structures all around, long abandoned. But the views from here are absolutely breathtaking.
Also, for the movie fans, a brief scene of the 1971 film "Dirty Harry" was filmed here.

Walmer Castle is an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII in Walmer, Kent, between 1539 and 1540. It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the strategically important Downs anchorage off the English coast. Comprising a keep and four circular bastions, the moated stone castle covered 0.61 acres (0.25 ha) and had 39 firing positions on the upper levels for artillery. It cost the Crown a total of £27,092 to build the three castles of Walmer, Sandown, and Deal, which lay adjacent to one another along the coast and were connected by earthwork defences.[a] The original invasion threat passed, but during the Second English Civil War of 1648–49, Walmer was seized by pro-Royalist insurgents and was only retaken by Parliamentary forces after several months' fighting.
In the 18th century, Walmer became the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and was gradually modified from a military fortification into a private residence. Various Prime Ministers and prominent politicians were appointed as Lord Warden, including William Pitt, the Duke of Wellington and Lord Granville, who adapted parts of the Tudor castle as living spaces and constructed extensive gardens around the property. By 1904, the War Office agreed that Walmer had no remaining military utility and it passed to the Ministry of Works. Successive Lord Wardens continued to use the property but it was also opened to the public. Walmer was no longer considered a particularly comfortable or modern residence, however, and Lord Curzon blamed the poor condition of the castle for his wife's death in 1906.
Lord Wardens since the Second World War have included Winston Churchill, Robert Menzies and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, but they have made only intermittent use of Walmer Castle. In the 21st century, Walmer Castle is run as a tourist attraction by English Heritage. The interior of the castle displays a range of historical objects and pictures associated with the property and its Lord Wardens, protected since the 19th century by special legislation. The grounds include the Queen Mother's Garden, designed by Penelope Hobhouse as a 95th birthday gift for Elizabeth in 1997. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmer_Castle)

I just finished reading Joe McNally's book, "Sketching Light." I have also been watching a few photography tutorials from Zack Arias and Peter Hurley. This gave me a little motivation so when I had a free couple of moments this week I grabbed my "goto" model, i.e. me; and shot a few images. This was one of my favorite images.
