Here's my second attempt at the 365 Project. I got SO close last year, only a few months shy of completing my goal! :( I'm trying it again though, this time starting from my 26th birthday.
So... welcome to my 26th year. :)
This pic was taken at Ketchup, a fancy and fun restaurant in Hollywood, known for their five different kinds of Ketchup. And yes, the lighting was really red in there! I was lucky enough to have my some of my closest friends make the drive out. Afterward we watched "Alice in Wonderland" in 3D. All in all, it was a wonderful day....
Still can't believe I'm 26! Crazy.

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.

The nave of the Dom (Cathedral).
The interior of the Cathedral (length 86m. width 62.5m.) is in a cool white and holds over 10,000 people. The ceiling frescoes in the middle nave were painted by Arsenio Mascagni and Ignazio Solari and show scenes of the life and suffering of Christ and lead to Mascagni's large picture of the resurrection of Christ.
In this picture can also be seen some of the frescoes of the cupola.

The theme of this project is "The Fruits of the Spirit," from the Bible verse Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version (NIV)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
This verse refers to the spiritual gifts that a follower of Christ receives and develops over time. I chose the image of the cross for "Goodness", as I am reminded by it to sacrifice a "me first" attitude and put God and others first in the same way that Christ laid down his life to save me.
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

Call it a weird tick, or maybe just an ego thing, but the way I’ve got it figured, if I’m not sick enough to go in and see a doctor, then I’m not sick enough to miss work. At least that’s what I tell the guys on my crew. They never listen, and still take time off at the drop of a hat, but that’s what I tell them. Maybe that was the point I was trying to prove yesterday. More then six years of my life has passed since I missed a day of work do to illness. Then again. I think more then six years of my life has passed by since I was actually this ill. If I’d had any common since about me at all, I would not have gone into work yesterday. But as one might guess, I’ve never been accused of having a deeply rooted since of reasonability. Despite my better judgment I did report for duty in the bays yesterday, and to this very moment I’m still not entirely sure why. By 8:30 having noticed the icy chill of fever coming on, I knew I was in trouble. Beyond that, everything sort of meshed together into a dull blur. As the hours passed I remember that voice in the back of my mind pushing me along. “You can deal. Just six more hours. You can deal, just five more hours…”
And deal I did, though admittedly by the end of the shift I was white as a ghost and stumbling around like a drunk. When I got home, it was a hot shower, and then strait to bed. This morning. I’m again feeling much better. Still congested as hell, and sore from head to toe, but the fever has let up, and my brain seems to be functioning on at least a reasonable degree. But I’m still wondering why I didn’t just take the damn day off. I know the Wife is not happy with me. She tells me that if there is not a major improvement in the next day or two, like it or not…I will be going to see I doctor. I grumble, shake my head, and reply “Yes, dear.“ Peeking out the humans on display living room window this morning, I can’t help but wonder if she’d boxed my truck in the drive way last night with her Jeep, just to help stress the sincerity of her threat. I suppose I could answer that question with a simple search around the house for my keys. Something tells me I won't find them. I’d been making plans all week for a drive up to Victor and some photo taking under the shadow of the Targhee and Grand Teton mountain range's this morning. Clearly, that did not happen. Nor do I think she will be letting me go tomorrow. I guess time will tell…But for now. I'm going back to bed.

"Project 7 is a single-seater sports car based on the F-TYPE, with the kind of racing-inspired form that designers dream about. It has one purpose: to be driven fast and enjoyed.Jaguar sports cars are known for exceptional performance and clean design. Project 7 captures that spirit in its purest form."
Some of Leicester’s favourite ex-players will team up on Friday (12th) to help launch two exciting new football facilities in the city. Steve Walsh, Muzzy Izzet and Alan ‘The Birch’ Birchenall will join youngsters at the playing fields at Mary Linwood and New College for the official openings of the two schemes.
Existing facilities at New College have been transformed and a brand new scheme has been created at Mary Linwood as part of the city’s £11.2 million football investment strategy – a multi-agency project launched last year to boost grassroots football in Leicester and encourage more people to take regular exercise. The project includes a £5 million grant from the Football Foundation – the body funded by the Premier League, The FA, the Government and Sport England.
Cllr Rob Wann, cabinet lead for culture & leisure, is delighted with the project’s progress: “This investment in our sporting infrastructure was urgently needed to upgrade Leicester’s facilities and get more people of all ages and abilities playing football.These schemes will make a big difference to the way that football is played in the city, helping to bridge the gap between the grassroots and professional games. But thanks to our funding partners, and the hard work of local clubs, this project will do much more than improve conditions for young footballers – it will also have a huge impact on the wider population’s health.”
At Mary Linwood, six grass pitches, changing rooms, two referees’ rooms, a club room, reception area and a kitchen have been provided as part of the £1.35 million scheme, together with car parking and floodlighting. And a new all-weather surface has improved the multi-use games pitch at the Samworth Enterprise Academy next door.
Joining the guests for the launch will be John Heath, who set up Aylestone Park Football Club – the partner club at Mary Linwood – back in 1968.
Current club chairman, Bob Stretton, said: “Without John’s vision, Aylestone Park Football Club wouldn’t be where it is today.He’s put his heart and soul into the club and the community over the years, so we’re honoured that he will be joining us for the official opening of our new home.”
Allexton & New Parks FC – the partner club at New College – is also enthusiastic about its new facilities: “After 15 years in New Parks, we’ve finally got a permanent base with facilities and the room we need to expand,” said club chairman Maurice Allen. “Our founders had a dream and this development is the first part of that dream to come true. We ended last season with just 12 teams but we’ve already expanded to 18 in anticipation of the new facilities. This means we’ll be able to get more people playing football in New Parks – and that’s more people of all ages, from five years old to 60.”
Facilities at New College playing fields have been transformed, thanks to the £1.6 million scheme, with a full-size floodlit all-weather pitch, a floodlit grass pitch, six changing rooms, two referees’ rooms, a club room, a reception area and a kitchen.
But the Mary Linwood and New College schemes are just two of the 11 sites that will be upgraded as part of the strategy. Two grass sites – at Beaumont Park and Rushey Fields – and four inner-city ball courts have already been completed.
Funding for the £11.2 million football investment strategy includes the biggest single grant ever made by the Football Foundation – £5 million.
Paul Thorogood, chief executive of the Football Foundation, said: “I am delighted that these two state-of-the-art sports facilities are now ready to open their doors to the people of Leicester. Since being launched in 2000 the Foundation has funded 180 projects worth £25 million across Leicestershire alone thanks to money provided by the Premier League, The FA and the Government.”
Further contributions have been made by Leicester City Council, Sport England, local partner clubs, the UEFA Jubilee Fund and NHS Leicester City.
Deb Watson, director of public health and health improvement at NHS Leicester City and Leicester City Council, said: “Regular exercise is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle and fits with our ambitions to encourage more men, women and children to take part in some form of physical activity. Football is a great, fun way to achieve this and, combined with healthy eating, will help to maintain a healthy weight.”
The successful implementation of Leicester’s football strategy aims to create more than 280 new teams and around 3,000 new regular players, while providing coaching for more than 5,000 youngsters.

Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States led by its newly created space agency NASA. It ran from 1959 through 1963 with the goal of putting a human in orbit around the Earth, and doing it before the Soviet Union, as part of the early space race. It involved seven astronauts flying a total of six solo trips. On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space in a suborbital flight after the Soviet Union had put Yuri Gagarin into orbit one month earlier. John Glenn became the first American to reach orbit on February 20, 1962. He was the third person to do so, after Soviet Gherman Titov made a day-long flight in August 1961. When the project ended in May 1963, USA was still behind the Soviet space program, but the gap was seen as closing.
When the stars don't shine, and when the birds don't fly
And when the flowers cry, and when the rain runs dry
When the violet's red and when the rose turn blue
I'll still be in love with u.....
- This is my first shot for the LOVE project. Received these hearts and a lovely postcard with a beautiful message from my Japan friend, Keiko some time ago and had a couple of shots last night. Nothing beats the satisfaction of producing these lovely shots, as my wife was there helping me all the way. Hence...called Love project.

This is one of my favorite spreads from my Sketchbook Project.
First, I freehanded the patterned background with a Sharpie. Scanned a ballpoint pen sketch, enlarged it, printed, and then glued it into the sketchbook. From there I was able to use my acrylics to work the final magic.

100 Strangers Project
EF 85 1.2L II USM @ f/1.4 iSO 100 Exp 1/100
I was in Warsaw Poland for the first time in late March (2012) for a business trip. On my last hours in Warsaw i went on a photo walk in search of my next stranger portrait. Earlier in the day i had the first rejection (for that day), but i took that on the chin and moved on :) it was to be expected i suppose with this project.
Walking around town, nearby the University i noticed millie walking on the footpath. She had a good sense of style and knew that she would be a great stranger portrait, i was also hoping she also spoke english.. Luckily for me she did and kindly agreed with the quick photo shoot. Like all strangers she was a little embarrassed but was so patient for me to take a couple of shots. I was using my EF85 1.2L lens and it takes so long to focus but i managed to get a few good ones too.. The time i found millie was around 6pm, daylight savings time already started so i still had some nice light to work with.
In the brief time i spent with millie, i found out that she is a student in her final semester and is studying to become a speech therapist. She has a fantastic personality and wished had more time in Warsaw.
Before leaving i handed one of my mini moo cards to allow viewing of her portraits on flickr. Thank you millie, you are my ninetieth stranger in my strangers project.

This is my entry in the Project Quilting Off Season Challenge - Catalog It! Your inspiration was to be from an ad.
I was inspired by clothes ads. Many times we thumb thru' catalogs and order clothes. Then they come in the mail and they don't fit us correctly. They just hang in our closets. Since this has happened to just about everyone I know, I decided we could all relate!
I was inspired to create a quilt from an unusable clothing item --- a denim shirt that didn't fit me!
I posted about each part of the process on my blog: marciascraftysewing.blogspot.com/
#1 Cut the shirt ---- Up Cycle this Denim Shirt

No. 1 - 5:- Exploring Rochester - High Street
City of Great Expectations - Charles Dickens..
Elizabeth's of Eastgate
Housed in a historic Tudor building a couple of minutes' walk from the cathedral and Rochester castle, Elizabeth's of Eastgate is moving with the times. It's a comfortable place noted for its relaxed atmosphere and friendly, professional service: 'you are made to feel special and welcome, not just a number,' concluded one satisfied Mobile Food Guide reporter.
The exterior still testifies to the building's age and history, but the decor and menu tell a different story. Visitors can look forward to a mix of classic British and French-inspired dishes ranging from grilled slip sole with herb crushed potatoes and tartare sauce or roast Barbary duck breast with Madeira jus to a duo of Romney Marsh lamb with lyonnaise potatoes and rosemary jus.
You could begin with roast whole quail with buttered spinach and Cassis jus or an assiette of Cornish crab, and round things off with Baileys cheesecake or apple and pear clafoutis with cinnamon ice cream. Traditional roast beef lunches are served on Sundays. The 80-bin wine list is a carefully considered selection, with Spain and France offering the most interesting possibilities.

Mister Pumblechook's
'...eminently convernient and commodious premises'
Standing opposite Eastgate House is another large, timber-framed mansion, built in about 1684. Originally, this was one large house but is now, and probably was also in Dickens' time, divided into three separate premises. It feaqtures in Great Expectations as Mr. Pumblechook's House, where he carried on business as a corn chandler, and again in The Mystery of Edwin Drood as the offices of Mr. Sapsea, an auctioneer.
In Dickens Footsteps.

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! :)
SpirosK is the wonderful photographer for this henna project, and Danai Gourd the marvellous model. We shot in an abandoned hotel in the mountains north of Athens, Greece. The hotel was really moody, surreal, post-apocalyptic fairy in a mad maxish setting. This was one of the most fun projects I have worked on with a great crew - assistants, make up artists, everyone gave 110% of their energy to do this.
Henna was a challenge for me, not my normal style. Tried to make it thorny, not too flowery, tribally, but not too tribal, and the raggedy faerie wings were accented with water color pencil.
The cast and crew are:
Spiros K. = Photographer
Kree Arvanitas = Henna artist
Danai Gourd = Model
Jennifer Rage = Makeup Artist
Magdalini = Artist Assistant
Anastasia = Model Assistant
