Pine Hill is located near Rescue, California, in El Dorado County. This was the first Summits-On-The-Air (SOTA) activation in which I operated HF in single-sideband (SSB) mode, as opposed to VHF FM. I logged contacts with stations in Georgia and eastern Kansas, much to my pleasant surprise.
The antenna I used is a Yaesu ATAS-25 ("Active Tuning Antenna System”), a lightweight vertical antenna system designed for the bands between 40 meters and 70 centimeters (roughly 7 MHz and 440 MHz, respectively). It breaks down into a very small package and mounts on a camera tripod; the tripod shown is lightweight and folds down very compactly.
Here, the antenna is shown set up for the long-distance bands (40 meters, 20 meters [14 MHz]), with all three radiating elements on top. This is the configuration that bagged me the contacts over 2,020 and 1,390 miles away, respectively, far beyond the mountains at right!
Portable Strobist Lighting Gear.
Since the company I work for provides me with enough studio lights for my photo assignments I decided to sell my own heavy 20 year old Norman strobes and power packs last year and go light and portable with Strobist lighting gear for my personal work.
I recently added another Nikon SB-24 and a few homemade grids to my set.
The set was lit with an old Vivitar 285HV bounced off a silver umbrella on a light stand.

I don't actively collect typewriters, but I get them when they are a good deal. They are fun to work on and type on.
These are my portables. The big boys are just to heavy for me to lug out and take shots of..lol

I'm moving soon so all my stuff is getting packed up. Fortunately I can still listen to tunes without a sacrifice in sound quality.
Thinkpad X220: Nice speedy laptop that suits my weekly travel needs well.
Audioquest Dragonfly: Great little dac that outputs up to 24/96 lossless audio files.
Ray Samuels SR-71B: Super powerful balanced amp capable of powering the most difficult loads.
Audeze LCD-2: Fantastic Orthodynamic headphones. Addictive sound that is unlike most headphones you've ever heard.
An early example Ca.1900, mainly used by contractors travelling from farm to farm hauled by a team of horses. Used for threshing, sawing etc. Not sure of the manufacturer of this example, maybe by Garretts of Leiston, being captured in a Suffolk farmyard.

Okay, before anyone freaks out, please don’t judge me too hard.
This dolly abomination absolutely saved my grade and my sanity.
Back in 200? (2007-2008?) I was pursuing a bachaelors degree in art at a local university. I was in an upper division Art History class with a professor notorious for high expectations and harsh grading. Like any other “400 level” class there was a very large research paper project that was going to be a major part of our grade in the class. Something like a thirty page research paper.
Now at the time my personal life was rocky, I was close to graduating but gradually taking fewer and fewer classes, and I was working more full-time hours at my retail job. (Burnout. In hindsight I was burning out.)
I didn’t realize I was burning out but I knew, I just KNEW that I didn’t have thirty pages of words inside of me to put on a page. Even though I really enjoyed the class and love the topic: History of Surrealism, I knew I didn’t have thirty pages in me so I had to come up with a creative solution. I needed a muse.
In lieu of writing a thirty page paper, I created this Portable Muse.
I turned in this Muse (and a hand bound book of surrealist art games we had learned about in the class. I had recreated the games and wrote little explanations of them.) I got a really good grade and passed the class.
(I did end up dropping out of school for real and never finished my degree. Oops.)
The muse herself is a Britney Spears head on a Ocean Toys Pamela Love torso mounted on an imitation squirrel paintbrush. She comes in her own labeled tin (a repurposed Surf Benders tin.)
(I have the original head for this torso and had been looking for poor Pamela’s body for a while… then I remembered what I had done to her and found this old Portable Muse in my studio.)

"Los tamaleros" (Vendedores de cabezas de horno)
This seems to be a portable snack bar.
From a scarce CDV album of mexican occupationals made by the studio "Cruces y Campa" in the 1860s.
The album contains 40 views of occupations, vendors and marketeers, a portrait of a woman (maybe the owner) and a view of the "three Naoleons". So maybe this album had been brought from Mexico by one of the soldiers of the emperor Maximilian.

Haalua & Parathas are popular breakfast item among city dwellers in Dhaka. Some who can afford eat these in fancy hotels, & those who can't afford luxuries can eat from such trolley based sellers.
Tastes more or less same, to be honest...
Beverages on wheels, just not sure how they got a fire going in the back seat without ruining the upholstery. This was a most interesting and humorous find at the threshers' reunion. Great joke! Wish the car owner would have been handy to discuss the vehicle with as I suspect it was not and inline engine under the hood and it has certainly been lowered. the company logo is a riot.

Ursula has been fully deboxed, and placed sitting down with her tentacles spread out around her. I like her alot, I think more than the LE Ursula. But she is by no means a perfect Ursula. The build in stand for her is a smaller version of the one for the LE doll. It is a metal pole with a flat disk that fits into a pocket on the underside of Ursula. Unlike the LE doll stand, this one is not portable. Only her front four tentacles are articulated. The two rear ones are just stuffed, so don't really help support Ursula. However she can still free stand, with her tentacles stretched out. Her arms are fully articulated, a big improvement over the LE Ursula, but her hands don't have much freedom of movement forward or backward. Her neck is VERY stiff, so I moved her head will great difficulty, and I was afraid to damage her head or neck if I applied any more force. Perhaps it will become looser with over time. As with LE Ursula, her top is removable (although I haven't done so yet), and the lower portion of her torso is stuffed with her leather like skin permanently sewn on. With her sitting down with her tentacles spread out, she looks like a starfish, and she is very stable. With her tentacles upright, she can free stand, but isn't very stable. It would have helped greatly if her two rear tentacles were articulated, to help support her standing pose. Standing up, she comes up to about Ariel's height, so is far smaller than the animated character. While deboxing and posing her, one rhinestone and one sequin fell off, but I don't miss them since there are hundreds of those on her body and tentacles.
I got the Ariel and Ursula Doll Set on Tuesday October 20, 2015, at my local Disney Store's raffle. I was 17th of 18 called, so I'm very glad I was able to get her in store. There was about the same amount of people who were there for the Snow/Hag set, so about 10 people missed out today. My set is #4185 of 6000. I will show this set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I took the set I was given. I noticed that Ariel's eyelashes were not at the same angle between her two eyes, but it didn't bother me enough to ask for another set. There were no other noticeable defects in the set.
I have deboxed Ariel, and found to my surprise that the pile of rocks is totally separate from the display case, and is free standing. Ariel is supposed to free sit on the rock stand, and stay in position just by the friction of her sequined tail on the uneven surface of the top rock. It also helps if the floor of is rough (like a carpet) rather than the smooth surface that I was using for the photoshoot. Next, I was pleasantly surprised is that she has the old Designer Princess body, so rubber legs and swivel waist joint. As I expected, her hair is heavily gelled to keep her curls, but not as heavily as the 17'' LE Ariel from 2013. So only the bottom third of her curls are stiff. There were a couple of stray hairs stuck in her neck joint (ouch!) and some short hairs (like trimmings) that I had to remove from her face and chest. She is pretty, but not drop dead gorgeous as were the previous two Designer Ariel dolls (from 2011 and 2013). I also don't like her see through top. It has a rough surface, so her hairs kept on getting caught in it.
Her sequins making up her tail are iridescent, so it appears to be different colors (various shades of green, blue and purple) depending on the angle of the light and angle of viewing. That is similar to how the scales of an actual fish appear. This was an unexpected feature of her tail that makes me like it much more than I did from the stock photos, or even from viewing her in person in the display dolls before I bought her and deboxed her. I also really like her fins, which are wired to stiffen them, and are posable.
I also compare Designer Ariel side by side with the OOAK Ariel made by a fellow collector, who used the 2014 Classic Ariel as the base.
