In the (apparently) last week of this summer, we did a five-day motorcycle tour from Frankfurt am Main - through the Great Alps - to the South of France and back. However thrilling it is to do a few thousand kilometers in the seat of a motorcycle, it also is terribly uncomfortable... Every evening, after another hot day in the seat, I used to be utterly happy to slowly slide down onto the pavement, gather my things and look for a payable hotel to take a shower and spend the night in. However, nothing could beat the feeling when we would start the machines the next morning and ride into the still chilly day, expecting to come across a new dose of views more incredible than anything we had ever seen before. Obviously, the photographs don't do enough justice to these views but I just couldn't resist :-)

My objective in scanning and subsequently uploading so many photographs from my archives is to preserve the images in digital form. I strongly believe that many if not most professional and advanced amateur photographers, are or should be doing the same thing with their images. In many instances like this they are preservation of photojournalistic or photodocumentary data from the past that can be viewed and enjoyed by future generations. I want to be certain that many of my better images outlive the shelf life of film and chemicals, fortunately digital imagery is the best way to do that.
This is a Kodachrome 64 slide scanned from my archives. The shot was taken in September 1984 in the Bunker Hill Financial District of Downtown Los Angeles. The skyline of the city has changed a great deal since that time.

The Trabant is an automobile that was produced by former East German auto maker VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau in Zwickau, Sachsen. It was the most common vehicle in East Germany, and was also exported to countries both inside and outside the communist bloc. The main selling point was that it had room for four adults and luggage in a compact, light and durable shell. With its mediocre performance, smoky two-stroke engine, and production shortages, the Trabant is often cited as an example of the disadvantages of centralized planning; on the other hand, it is regarded with derisive affection as a symbol of the failed former East Germany and of the fall of communism (in former West Germany, as many East Germans streamed into West Berlin and West Germany in their Trabants after the opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989). It was in production without any significant changes for nearly 30 years with 3,096,099 Trabants produced in total.

This image has strong emotional meaning for me. I shot it on March 21, 2006. It was freezing cold and my hands were so cold, I could barely hold the camera still long enough to get these shots (it's a stitched composite of 16 images).
Times were so good when I shot this and I had no idea what hard times were to come within the next two months. I won't exploit my friend's memory here for the world, and I'm not looking for sympathy. But I miss him dearly.
Every time I see this image, I feel a strong surge of emotions. And every time I'm in Upstate New York, I have to visit this spot. I miss our adventures together.
If you ever have the opportunity to go on a trip with someone, take it. Even if you can't really afford it. If a friend just wants to hang out, don't find an excuse not to. Take every opportunity you can to explore what this world has to show you, and to spend as much time with friends as you can. You have no idea just how quickly those times can come to a permanent end.
I may only be 26, but I know how precious my youth still is. Stay young forever. There will come a day when you'll no longer be able to explore. And that day may not be in your later years.

Oggettistica in Dung Paper con Carta riciclata in cacca d'elefante
ECO MAXIMUS è nata per produrre materiale per cancelleria e regalo da una materia molto "originale". Incredibilmente infatti, i prodotti di carta, totalmente
hand-crafted, sono fatti al 75% di sterco di elefante e per un 25% di carta riciclata.
PERCHE' ECO MAXIMUS ESISTE
Carta in cacca d'elefante
Lo Sri Lanka è la casa a di un decimo dei 40.000 elefanti Asiatici selvaggi, elefanti che in Sri Lanka non vengono uccisi per le loro zanne; non sono uccisi per la carne, poichè nessuno mangia la carne di elefante; non sono uccisi per la pelle, poichè non vi è mercato per non esiste industria della pelle di elefante.
Sono semplicemente uccisi perchè interferiscono con l'agricoltura. Dal 1950, è probabile che più di 4.000 elefanti siano stati abbattuti nel conflitto tra l'uomo e l'elefante.
L'elefante è senza spazio in Sri Lanka. La maggior parte delle aree protette abitate dagli elefanti sono piccole, meno di 1.000 kmq, mentre gli elefanti, possono spostarsi per centinaia di chilometri nel corso di una stagione. Il loro appetito è enorme e gli elefanti e le persone non possono vivere insieme dove l'agricoltura è la forma dominante di utilizzo del suolo, a meno che il danno che causano ai contadini possa essere ricompensato.
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Non ci sono facili soluzioni per risolvere il conflitto! Molto dipenderà da come i contadini percepiranno il valore dell'elefante per fermarne l'uccisione ingiustificata. Molti si stanno convincendo che l'unico modo per convivere pacificamente passi attraverso l'utilizzo dell'elefante come una risorsa sostenibile economica. Lo sterco di elefante è un prodotto finito ed è anche una merce che è liberamente disponibile a in qualunque momento (mediamente ogni elefante adulto ne produce 180-200 kg al giorno) e, fino ad ora, nessuno aveva trovato alcun utilizzo.
Il progetto di Maximus per fabbricare la carta dallo sterco di elefante può aiutare la percezione dei contadini sul valore economico dell'elefante nelle aree di conflitto. Il progetto, cominciato nel 1997, ha prodotto con successo e lanciato sul mercato ciò che è conosciuto come "carta di pachiderma".
In questo modo "la cacca di elefante" prende la forma di quaderni, fogli di carta, scatole, borse ecc. La sola limitazione è l'immaginazione!
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Questi prodotti sono divenuti estremamente popolari fra la popolazione locale ed i turisti stranieri. Anche se lo sterco di elefante non può risolvere il crescente conflitto uomo-elefante, il suo uso a beneficio dei contadini che soffrono andrà certamente ad innalzare il livello di tolleranza di questi ultimi. Se l'elefante sarà visto come un valore economico per contribuire significativamente al benessere delle persone, le stesse non ameranno vederlo scomparire dalla loro area. In conclusione, tutti gli sforzi sarebbero futili senza il sostegno delle comunità locali.
La Fattoria del Colle di Trequanda è un autentico borgo cinquecentesco con villa, cappella, case di antichi contadini e tutt’intorno vigneti e oliveti. Si trova a sud di Siena, la zona più vera e più suggestiva della Toscana. Qui gli sposi possono organizzare una festa in stile campagnolo, l’ultima tendenza per i banchetti di nozze.
La festa avrà un carattere intimo, esclusivo e particolare nella cornice antica dei cortili, dei muri in pietra, dei parchi, degli splendidi panorami e della cantina con le botti dove vengono affinati i vini Chianti Superiore e Orcia, i grandi vini rossi toscani. Un set di grande suggestione anche per le foto del matrimonio.

Serie: Dibujo, cátedra Figueroa
...El cuatrimestre seguía, y cada clase que pasaba quedaba más fascinado con los profesores: a cada clase le ponían energía, originalidad, buena onda... tanto que ya uno esperaba el martes para ir a pasarla bien y ya uno (o por lo menos yo), a pesar de no tener ninguna obligación real de hacer los trabajos que se le iban pidiendo (ya que el control sobre los mismos casi no existía) se sentía como en obligación personal de hacerlos... Ya no era cuestión de entregar un trabajo; era cuestión de mostrarles a personas que estimabas mucho lo que habías logrado...
Tan así que, cuando un día (3 días antes de la entrega del primer cuatrimestre) dejé (de colgado cual soy) la carpeta en el 42, estaba más desesperado por la decepción que ese evento pudiese causar en los profesores que la nota que me iba a sacar por traer muy poco (o sea lo que de ahí a tres días lograse rehacer).
Esta foto pertenece a uno de los últimos trabajos que hicimos durante el primer cuatrimestre.

About 5 Sec Faces
This is a street photography project between Fleecircus and Danny St to capture the different personalities that make up face of Singapore. We roam around the streets of Singapore with an illustration board for a makeshift background, look for strangers with distinct faces, then ask "Can I take your picture? It'll just take 5 seconds..." If they agree, we quickly click away :)
Bis Mitte der 1990er Jahre verlief beinahe der gesamte Anstieg auf den Lusen (bis kurz vor das Blockmeer) im schattigen Misch- bzw. Nadelwald. Ab 1995 fielen aufgrund der ungewöhnlich warmen Witterung jedoch weite Teile des alten Bergfichtenwaldes dem Borkenkäfer zum Opfer. Im Lusengebiet und nördlich davon traten auf rund 4000 Hektar die Schäden fast geschlossen auf. Dem Grundsatz des Nationalparkgedankens folgend wurden keine chemischen oder biologischen Abwehrmaßnahmen ergriffen. Dem Betrachter bietet sich vom Lusengipfel aus daher ein Bild, in dem immer noch die abgestorbenen Nadelbäume dominieren. Für viele Besucher des Nationalparks wirkt dieses Bild des augenscheinlich "toten Waldes" befremdlich. Die Nationalparkverwaltung hat sich jedoch dafür entschieden, kein Totholz aus dem betroffenen Gebiet zu entfernen. Sie vertritt die Philosophie "Natur Natur sein lassen". Es sterbe nicht der Wald, sondern nur seine alten Individuen. Im Schutze der toten Bäume wächst bereits ein neuer Wald zu einem europaweit einzigartigen “wilden Wald” nach. Der neue natürliche und baumartenreiche Wald dürfte den üblichen monotonen Nutzholzforsten ökologisch weit überlegen sein. Der Erlebnisweg "Hochwaldsteig" am Sommerweg gibt Einblicke in diese natürliche Waldentwicklung.
So obviously I wasn't running when I took this photo. I am not a super duper runner man. I can get down the trail. I suppose I lumber more than anything else, but I stay moving and I am faster than 95% of the population and slower than 95% of the trail runners.
Not that I really ever see one out there on the trails, which is one of the things I enjoy about it.
Anyway I run with my camera. I don't see too many other folks out there running with an SLR.
Sometimes I carry it in my hand, with the strap wrapped around my wrist. Other times I carry my camera in my little pack on my back. Sometimes (like this morning) I don't get it out at all, there just wasn't anything "that special". I could have pulled it out and done some shots for video, but we'll I just ran.
Anyway (for at least the second time) I saw this mushroom and had to kneel down for a minute to take its photo. Pretty sure if you ate it you'd die. Though I wasn't afraid of this one like I was The Black Mushroom of Death.
Then I got up and started running again. I planned on going on a long run, but I took a wrong turn and it ended up a 1/2 mile longer than I wanted. 10 miles when I got home, in the dark. My feet hurt the next day.
I can see in the darkness that surrounds me
I'm protected by the eye of Horus
I have an eye for a vision of the future
for a vision of the world in a different way
Because thats how I see it always
even in my darkest moments ...
The wings that will set me free are the same wings
that keep me prisoner of my self
because before I can fly I have to get the balance
that I need in my life
We cannot fly with broken wings
but some times we don't need eyes to see
or wings to fly ,we just need our imagination
and the wish to do something
to touch the sky with the palm of your hand
to see the world in a grain of sand
anything that makes us happy
there is where the real power comes from
the inspiration to create or to destroy
to love or to hate ...
WolfSoul.
...
Vienes quemando la brisa
Con soles de primavera
Para plantar la bandera
Con la luz de tu sonrisa...

Solo por subir algo y tener una excusa para escribir...
Entré a la U y solo maravillas puedo decir hasta ahora. Luego las cosas se van a poner aaarto más peludas, pero ahora es cuando hay que ponerle ganas.
Viviendo solo, disfrutando de una total independencia.
Y ahora, al fín, con poco tiempo para pensar, pero bien aprovechado y bien analizado, las cosas van pasando.
Importantes, claro, pero no sé si sea provechozo darle tanta vuelta.
Como decía... solo maravillas puedo decir hasta ahora.

Just to upload something and have an excuse for writing.
I started on college, only nice things I can tell for now. Then, things will become really dificult, but now is when I have to go on hard.
Living alone, enjoying full independence.
And now, finally, with quite little time to think, but well used and well analyzed, things are going through.
Important things, surely, but I don't know if it's helpful to re-think it all.
As I said... only nice things I can tell for now
I dig my toes into the sand.
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket.
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless...
And in this moment I am happy...happy~
These are the last of my shots from my trip to the Auto Wreckers with the guys on Saturday Morning.. Man I hate how fast the weekend goes! This is the part of Sunday I dont like.. I start to get a little depressed because I know I have to go back to work tomorrow. Nothing but gloom here today! I am looking forward to heading back to MacLeans very soon. The more and more I start to look at the Macros shot I took I am glad I forced myself to get out of my element.

Investigators from Scotland Yard arrived in Islamabad on Jan. 4 to help the Pakinasti authorities on the investigation of the death of Benazir Bhutto. Rumours have surrounded the exact causes of her death, as a man shot her while she was standing in her car, waving through the sunroof, then a suicide bomber exploded himself. The oficial version concluded she banged her head against the sunroof due to the shock of the explosion, but other witnesses (including the person who washed her body) said she had been shot. Her party, the PPP, has called for a UN investigation but so far, president Musharraf has rejected this request and asked instead for the help of the UK.
On Jan.5, the Scotland Yard team together with the Pakistani officials went to Liaqat Bagh, the park in Rawalpindi in front of which the bombing occured, to be briefed on the events. The scene itself, however, has nothing to reveal in terms of material evidence as it's a busy street opened to traffic.
Here, a Pakistani official shows the English investigator the impatcts of the explosion on a nearby wall.

Battlefield House Museum & Park
The Gage Homestead, built in 1796, captures the way of life during the early 19th century. The Gages worked the land with their ten children and became a strong voice in the hamlet of Stoney Creek. During the War of 1812, the family fled to the cellar as the Battle of Stoney Creek raged outside. The Battlefield Monument stands as a symbol of peace and commemorates those soldiers who died on June 6, 1813.
Nestled under the Niagara Escarpment, this historic site is located on 32 acres of park land linked to the Bruce Trail, Canada's oldest and longest footpath.
Learn more about the history of the site, including Gage House, Nash-Jackson House and the Battlefield Monument by visiting the Friends of Battlefield House website.

Gamla stan (The Old City), is the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. The town dates back to the 13th century, and consists of medieval alleyways, cobbled streets, and archaic architecture. Stortorget is the name of the scenic large square in the centre of Gamla Stan, which is surrounded by old merchant's houses.
Stockholm has been the political and economic centre of Sweden since the 13th century. It is the capital and largest city in Sweden and the site of the national Swedish government, the parliament, and the official residence of the Swedish monarch.
It's strategic location on fourteen islands around one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved medieval city centres, at the mouth of Lake Mälaren where it meets the Baltic Sea, has been historically important. Since the city is built on islands and known for its beauty, its buildings, its water and parks, it has also been called "The Venice of the North"

The galaxy Messier 100, or M100, shows its swirling spiral in this infrared image from NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope. The arcing spiral arms of dust and gas that harbor starforming regions glow vividly when seen in the infrared.
is a classic example of a grand design spiral galaxy, with prominent and well-defined spiral arms winding from the hot center, out to the cooler edges of the galaxy. It is located about 55 million light years away from Earth, in the little-known constellation of Coma Berenices, near to the more recognizable Leo.
In the center, we can see a prominent ring of hot, bright dust surrounding the inner galactic core. Moving further out, the spiral arms peter out towards the edges of the galaxy, where thick webs of dust dominate. Beyond the edges of the dust clouds, a faint blue glow of stars extends to the edge of the galaxys disk.
Two small companion galaxies, known as NGC 4323 and NGC 4328, appear as fuzzy blue blobs on the upper side of M100. These so-called lenticular galaxies are virtually clear of any dust, so they lack any of the red/green glow seen in their bigger neighbor. The shape of M100 is probably being perturbed by the gravity of these galaxies.
M100 was discovered in 1781, and is now known to stretch roughly 160,000 light years from one side to the other, making it about one and a half times the size of our own Milky Way galaxy. By studying these infrared images of M100, astronomers can map out the structure of the stars and dust, and study the ways in which galaxies like our Milky Way were formed.
M100 is well-known to astronomers because of the five stars that have become supernovae within the galaxy between 1901 and 2006. These exploding stars are extremely useful for helping astronomers to calibrate distance scales in the universe, and to estimate the age of the universe since its creation in the Big Bang.
The red regions reveal dust clouds that light up under the illumination of the surrounding stars. The stars themselves shine most brightly at the shorter infrared wavelengths, showing up here in blue. The blue dots covering the entire image are stars that lie between us and M100.
Infrared light with wavelengths of 3.6 and 4.5 microns are displayed in blue and green showing primarily the glow from starlight. 8 micron light is rendered in red; the small contribution from starlight at 8 microns was subtracted out from the data to better show the dust structures near the galaxys center.
