My first attempt at two point perspective drawing done in Biro. Inspired when I was randomly searching drawings on Google images (Yes, I do that a lot when I'm bored and I need inspiration :D ). Working on other drawings and soon there will be one big piece, so stay tuned!

Global Perspectives 2016
'The Future of Civic Space' was the theme for this year's Global Perspectives - our annual conference that brings together civil society leaders, activists, and trend-setters to discuss, debate, and collaborate on some of the biggest issues affecting the sector. The 8th annual Global perspectives was held at the Heinrich Böll Stiftung in Berlin (Germany) on 26 - 28 October 2016. Participants and speakers came from across the globe.

Change your perspective and you change your reality.....
With the 24-70 on my 5d I finally feel as if I can breathe again. I know the 50 1.4 is a wonderful lens, but I've never felt comfortable with it....give me a wide angle and something different happens when I look through the camera.....to use a horrid pun - something just clicks :)
(I still want to go wider, but all things in good time).
Cover of Perspectives 1990-1991, published by the California Highway Patrol. Featured car is a 1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria.
My office building is quite long. This is a shot from the middle - it reaches the same distance in the other direction.
Handheld HDR, hence a slight mismatch in the aligning.
I've been meaning to post a few more normal perspective shots of the the mystery table and while tending to that effort, I decided to flip the table up on its head and take a closer look at that all wood table extension rail a bit closer and also tighten up all the original slotted higher grade steel screws that I figured a good number of them could stand a tightening up and I was hopeful that in doing so, I could reduce some of that shaky, creaky behavior and I was very relieved to find that not a single screw had been stripped, and not any of the wood cavities that the screws went into showed any sign of damage. So I was able to very carefully and slowly get all of them to tighten with a most secure seating, So the good news is that the table now sits very solidly and soundly on the floor and feels strong enough to now employ it as the new home base of my giant sized mitre box that I started working on back when there was still snow on the ground here. I never got around to completely finishing it off by adding a bit more trim, but that was just to make it a bit more pretty. But I'll have some pics up of that as well when I can squeeze that task in here.
So back to the table and the title of the picture above. I did find an extremely faded inked stamp on the side of one of the rail sections. It was difficult to capture because of the ink's fading and in a tight spot to fit my camera into to take the pic. So the cruddy looking text in the middle of the tables legs, represents my best effort at the moment to try to boost the readability of it but its still pretty difficult.
So the company is out of Wisconsin in the town of...Watertown. They invented and smartly patented the mechanism back in the 1880s and it turned into a roaring business success and ended up being one of the top two table slides in sales volume and it was apparently the local and regional furniture makers from all over the States and Canada who all fell in love with the product's beauty and durability and purchased them to be used on their own expanding table designs. Almost unbelievably, they've managed to keep their business doors open to this day and only stopped making their all wood product line in the mid 1980s and now they feature exclusively, aluminum table rail systems.
So now we know who made the rails.
But who made the rest of it???
The best visual clues I can muster of the table's maker is some recurring numbers that were written with a grease pencil. The predominant number being 78/12. So that is likely their catalog number on the design. And that design seems to have some elements of the world famous British furniture designer and builder from the 1700s, Mr. Chippendale. He published a catalog of his designs and left open a business license to copy his designs so long as you've paid him his fee for the printed catalog. And there-after, you too could become the next Chippendale local craftsmen...or crafts-women. But I don't own the catalogs currently beyond the one or two that have been digitized and made available for free download. But I haven't found this table's design in any of those page scans so far. Maybe that number I mentioned is a Chippendale model number? The world may never know! :)
Cheers!
Titan (the orange-brown moon) is actually much larger than the other moon (whose name I've forgotten - most Saturnian moons look pretty much the same) shown above Titan.
