Our unique walking tours are based on History Project Director Charles Denson's award-winning book "Coney Island: Lost and Found," the interviews from CIHP's Oral History Archive, and other primary sources.http://www.eventbrite.com/o/coney-island-history-project-1132126799
"I'll kill him dammit... and there aint nobody on this godforsaken island to stop me..."
The first teaser for my new series, currently named Project Sanders. The name is definitely not permanant and has no connection to the series itself that you'd understand. Also, no connection to Ultron. :) The picture features the series' main antagonist, General Oswalt Stratton. 95% of the characters in this series I have created, I know that won't make much sense now but it will once the series starts. I have already started to write a little of the story and trust me, you are going hate this guy. I'm already loving writing him though! Alright that's about it, please comment if you favorite.

Yesterday I ordered a doll I've been waiting a long time to get from the Debenhams website...and she arrived today!
Next day click and collect is a blessing.
Project Mc2 Bryden's Bracelet doll and review coming soon...
for Utata iron photographer (elements to include fabric draped over something and pins)
despite appearances, cat very keen to be involved.
.
An early version of a sealed cartridge bearing BB. It has adjustable alloy cups on both sides, allowing for adjustment of the chainline. Spins nicely, no need to replace, but I hope the length will be compatible with the TA crankset with ISO tapers I plan to use with it.
We all have our side projects. Build a ship in a bottle, repave the garden walk, organize our stamp collection from countries that no longer exist. I also have a few side projects. One is my Stock Certificate Project (that I really should devote some more time to). Another is my ROYGBIV project.
It is not uncommon that friends ask me for photos or themselves for this or that. When they do, I try to squeeze the ROYGBIV project in. Basically, I try to position my subjects outside, in front of some primarily colored background as well as one white background then assemble the results into whatever you call a piece of art that involves four separate scenes... whatever is past a tryptic I guess.
Anyway, one of my oldest friends Kevin Bankston was in town for the holidays and he asked that I shoot a few shots of him. It should be said that Kevin is probably my most accomplished and admirable friend. He has worked for the ACLU, EFF and is making a big move to Washigton to further lobby for and protect out online freedoms. If you watch, you will certainly see him on the television or quoted in all the big magazines. This guys is one to watch.
The condition was that we drive around until I could find some suitable locations for the ROYGBIV project. For those who slept through that day in science class ROYGBIV is just an acronym for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These are roughly the shades we see in the visible light spectrum. In my opinion, solid and strong colors make for nice backgrounds if you can get the right subject to background distance so the background becomes a blur of radiant color.
All technical mumbo-jumbo aside, I like the way they look and you can see a prior one taken of my good friend Chris Brooks here. Also included in this batch are some of the un-cropped originals that I did a little more tweaking on.
If you're going to shoot portraits of your buddies for free (and why wouldn't you?) you might as well make them work a little bit for it and direct their efforts towards your broader schemes. So, thanks Kevin. You are now installment 2 in the slow-moving ROYGBIV Project.
Everything was shot natural light with a Canon 5D MKII and a Canon 135mmm f/2 L USM and edited in Aperture and Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

This wire sculpture was a project for our class. I absolutely love this! And, frankly, I never knew I could do it! I had a few ideas before this, but it all failed. So, I just had a sudden brain fart! I said, "Why don't I just make an elephant!" So I did! Then along the way, I thought that just one elephant would be boring and lonely. So I added a baby elephant to be by her side. :) So yeah. I made it overnight. Remind me not to cram again! Gaaah! >.< I tell ya, it wasn't easy making this. Well, I'm thankful I got a good grade for this. It was worth it. :)
Hope you guys like it! :D
This piece is called "Michelles"
Inspired by my friend, Michelle. She adores elephants! Love you, Mich! Miss you! :)

I`ve decided to concentrate on very common and simple everyday use things, doors. But I look for interesting doors.
"Be loud and proud as an Engineer" - Roger Collins-Woolcock, 2011
This is a quote from one of the guest speakers at an engineering leadership reception I attended tonight and it really spoke volumes to me. For the past 5 years I have been making the transition to becoming a loud and proud gay man (from being just a shy and ashamed gay boy), and so the relevance of this message was not lost on me.
We engineers often downplay our achievements, and the public responds in kind. Many people don't realise that engineers are everywhere in society, and they have a role in influencing every part of society. Let's say you're reading this on a bus, so look around you and tell me how many things are influenced by engineers? If you just said "well there's the bus, and the roads it drives on" then you wouldn't be alone.
But in reality, asides from the obvious mechanical engineering influencing the bus functioning as a vehicle and the civil engineering influencing the road design, engineering also played a part in the design of the seats, the lighting, the doors, the payment system, the speaker system, the minimal frame allowing you to see so much out the windows, the hearing aid allowing an old lady at the front to hear the annoying kids at the back, the stroller holding the crying baby, the 50 smart phones that people are playing with and the 50 sets of earphones attached.
Outside, yes there is the road, but there is also the stormwater drainage, electrical, telephone, gas, optical fibre, sewerage running under the road, there is street lighting, signage, traffic lights, those things in the middle of the road that make a noise when you run over them, buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc.
As well as developing western infrastructure and conveniences, Engineers are also involved in humanitarian causes, which was a major focus of tonights event.
Alan Noble is an engineer, and also the Director of Engineering for Google Australia and New Zealand. He told us about the google maps initiatives that have recently played an influential part in the post disaster recovery efforts in many parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA, etc. He also didn't mind mentioning the millions of dollars that Google provides to not-for-profit charities and other ventures.
Lizzie Brown is an engineer, and also the CEO of Engineers Without Borders (EWB). She talked about the programs that EWB runs throughout the world, building the capacity of small villages by sharing technology and expertise to improve their livelihood. She also talked about finding your place in the massive profession of engineering, such that you can have the most influence and create the most beneficial change to the world around you.
Finally, Roger Collins-Woolcock is an engineer, and also the Director of Cardno NSW/ACT and New Zealand. Cardno is a global engineering consultancy and services provider that is involved in physical and social infrastructure. It is the biggest environmental consultancy in the USA and provides related services throughout the world.
The Troublemakers Film Project is a new initiative that brings young LGBT2Q+ filmmakers together to create a series of mini-documentary portraits on change-making seniors. A partnership with Vancouver Queer Film Festival & Out in Schools and made possible by the BC Arts Council!

Germany - Lubeck: Holstentor.
From outside the Alstadt - old city:
Lübeck’s landmark, the Holstentor. This city gate is made up of two red brick, cylindrical towers capped with peaked roofs that flank a gabled house with the characteristic up and down stairway-shaped façade. When it was completed in 1478, the Holstentor became Lübeck’s western gateway, a guardian of the city center on the far side of the Trave River. The gateway seems rather squat and lopsided, but is still impressive because of what it represents - Lübeck at the height of its power.

`in gold lettering the words over the entrance of the Gate read:
CONCORDIA DOMI FORIS PAX.
On the right of the picture can be seen The Salzspeicher (salt storehouses) of Lübeck, Germany, six historic brick buildings on the Upper Trave River. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzspeicher
The first time I saw the Holstentor was as a picture on the lid of a jigsaw puzzle when I was a child! I guess that I never dreampt that I would see it for real!

Families experiencing homelessness have found a home thanks to Project Homekey on April 19, 2021. LA County purchased the 41-room former Travel Plaza Inn in Compton for about $6.5 million late 2020 to serve as the only Project Homekey site dedicated to serving families. The families began moving into the property on March 5th, and currently operated by HOPICS. (Photo by Los Angeles County)
On the Joecustoms site we had a group customizing project that was called Project '84. The idea being that it is 1983 and we had to make new G.I. Joe and Cobra figures for 1984 and we could only use existing tooling (the first year Joe and Cobras) I went with Firefly here,

Chest: Cobra Officer
Arms: Upper Cobra Trooper

This is a project started over a year ago in Helen Wilson's tuesday night class. I work on it occasionally. (I did not work on it the 10 months we were in france.) This kind of thing is a lot harder for me than depicting something I can see with my eyeballs as opposed to my mind's eye. I have recently solved some technical problems that were sapping the painting of all the fun. I will be picking up the pace on it and when done I'll post again. I took these pics for silliness sake.
ПРАЗДНИК БЛАГОВЕЩЕНИЯ ПРЕСВЯТОЙ БОГОРОДИЦЫ
7 апреля 2023 года, в праздник Благовещения Пресвятой Богородицы, день преставления святителя Тихона, благочинный Геленджикского церковного округа, настоятель собора иерей Максим Пьянков совершил Божественную литургию святителя Иоанна Златоуста в Андреевском кафедральном соборе города Геленджика. Ему сослужили штатные священники собора иерей Сергий Гусев, иерей Роман Моисеенко и иерей Василий Колчар.
Богослужебные песнопения исполнил хор Андреевского кафедрального собора города Геленджика (регент Людмила Телегина).
По традиции после богослужения в праздник Благовещения настоятель собора иерей Максим Пьянков вместе с духовенством собора и благочестивыми верующими выпустил в небо голубей со ступеней Андреевского кафедрального собора.
Ah, if there had beena Project Runway back in the 1980s!!! Here I am, looking very designerish, creating a wedding dress for a friend, Julia, who wanted a simple but elegant dress. Being a costume designer, I was inspired by the 1930s, and I designed a cream satin charmeuse dress, with a bias cut skirt and top with dolman sleeves, a dip in the back and bugle & crystal bead embroidery around the neckline.
Here we are at a fitting at the dressmakers studio, owned by my friend Joy. It was called "By Hand" and specialized in custom dressmaking down in Rancho Palos Verdes
