I usually don't upload camera pix - but college football is definitely a sign of fall. Our local college Old Dominion University (ODU) - has had a football team for 5 years and just joined Conference USA. They have had sold out games for all 5 years. This was their first nationally televised conference game - very exciting - however - we lost - one of the few losses they have had in the past 5 years.
Been airbrushing today and it goes so much better then expected now the trouble are over with this airbrush. I really enjoy doing it.
This is a Soom Beyla. Face-up is partly airbrushed. She is going to be an autumn fairy who plays between the autumn leaves, hence the colours :D
Ideal Barber Shop, 105 S. Wright St, Burgaw, NC
Official IDEAL BARBER SHOP haircut, November 21, 2009
The Ideal Barber Shop lives up to its name, embodying the image of an old-fashioned barber shop. It is located on the town square in Burgaw, across the street from the Pender County Courthouse. The barber shop’s pole is hung horizontally on the awning outside the door, rather than vertically as many poles are. There are three barber chairs inside, with a dozen chairs for waiting customers. The interior looks much as you would expect – a wall full of fliers and cards from local business, an old Coca-Cola bottle machine, gumball machines, hair products for sale, and plenty of family pictures. It’s patriotic (with a flag and an Uncle Sam poster) and conservative (based on the magazines available for reading). The walls are a light blue, with black-white linoleum. There were four customers while I was there, and the conversational topics included a barbecue place in a nearby town, national politics, local business and their required equipment. When it came my time in the chair, Ray Rivenbark spoke of his son who works as an electrical contractor in New Hanover and Pender counties, one who often gets his work finished ahead of schedule. The haircut cost $10, plus the tip I left.
YAHOO! MAKES RP A MORE PURPLE PLACE
“Project Purple” Unveiled to Power Pinoy Passions
MANILA, May 26, 2009 - Yahoo! today demonstrates its place as a highly relevant and essential tool to power Pinoy passions by spearheading a social movement called Project Purple, to help Filipinos Find, Share and Connect to the things that matter most to them.
Project Purple powers Pinoy passions by encouraging Filipinos to be creative, innovative, express opinions and be heard and listened to in a fun and fresh way. It’s an effort that links to Yahoo!’s brand promise to transform the lives of people, societies and economies.
“Project Purple is a social movement and is open to everyone – online and offline. We are rallying Pinoys to be Purple and utilize the internet to aim higher,” said Jojo Anonuevo, general manager, Yahoo! Philippines. “The internet and Yahoo! have become essential services to people and a great equalizer for people to expand their horizons,” Anonuevo added.
Purple is Yahoo!’s corporate colour which reflects the company’s brand personality and philosophy of innovation, uniqueness, creativity and passion. With this campaign, Yahoo! aims to call out to all Filipinos who share this same vision to bring innovation and a positive change in the Philippines. As catalyst for Project Purple, Yahoo! empowers Filipinos through internet services that enable them to pursue their passions. Through a creative mix of online and offline initiatives, Yahoo! Project Purple brings awareness to the things Filipinos are passionate about and how they can be found on Yahoo!.
“The social movement started in the United States with the ‘Start Wearing Purple’ campaign. We are happy to bring this to the Philippines—the very first country outside the US where there are millions of creative, innovative and passionate Pinoys. Today, Yahoo! is excited to connect the country together in this campaign and we expect many more to join us in the coming weeks”, said Anonuevo.
Joining this social movement are top Philippine and global companies as well as popular Pinoy artists. These Purple partners include: Ayala Land, Inc., BlackBerry, Canon Philippines, Globe Telecom, Honda Philippines, Krispy Kreme Philippines, and Nestle Philippines. Participating local artists are: Aaron Roselo, Anjo Bolarda, Bjornik, Beth Parrocha-Doctolero, Christian Tamondong, Paul Imbong, and WeWillDoodle.
Here are some ways that Pinoys can be part of this social movement:

No. 4 - 5:- Exploring Rochester - Rochester Castle
City of Great Expectations - Charles Dickens..
The Keep of the Castle.
The Mural Gallery.
This gallery, which looked down into the state apartments, round right round the building. It is hollowed out of the thickness of the wall and therefore greatly reduces the weight of the upper stories. At this height the walls do not need the massive strength of lower walls as they are out of reach of enemy battering rams.
The gallery had a number of uses and could be partitioned off to make extra rooms for guests, probably servants and less favoured visitors. When the great Hall was in use, guests could gather here to chat and look down on the festivities. This was also a good position for groups of minstrels to provide music for those below. Guidepost.
Rochester Castle.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rochester Castle ( [show location on an interactive map] 51°23′22″N 0°30′05″E / 51.38944°N 0.50139°E / 51.38944; 0.50139) stands on the east bank of the River Medway, in Rochester, Kent. It is one of the best-preserved castles of its kind in the UK. There has been a fortification on this site since Roman times (c AD43), though it is the keep of 1127 and the Norman castle which can be seen today. With the invention of gunpowder other types of defence became more appropriate, and the military centre of the Medway Towns moved to Chatham.
History
The Romans under Aulus Plautius built a fort on the site of the present castle to guard the important river crossing, where they constructed a bridge. There is evidence of an earth rampart later replaced by a stone wall. The timber piles of the Roman bridge were rediscovered during the construction of the present road bridge.This is also a well known spa nowadays but when it was first built it was a massive kitchen.
The Norman period commenced with the victory of William of Normandy at Hastings. He appointed his half brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, as Earl of Kent. Rochester's first Norman castle was probably of the motte and bailey type – a wooden tower and with palisades – on Boley Hill. This was the castle that was besieged by William Rufus during the Rebellion of 1088.
As a result of this siege, Bishop Gundulf was persuaded to build a stone castle with a curtain wall. It is not known how much, if any, of the surviving keep is his. Gundulf was a talented architect: he had started the building work on Rochester's Norman Cathedral in 1080, and was also responsible for the White Tower of the Tower of London.
Henry I granted the custody of the castle to the Archbishop of Canterbury, William de Corbeil. Corbeil started to build the great stone keep in 1127, much of which survives today. It is the tallest in England and has dominated the city and river crossing for 800 years.
The siege of 1215
In 1206, King John spent £115 on repairs to the castle and moat. He even preemptively held it during the year of the negotiations leading up to Magna Carta, but its terms forced him to hand it back into the custody of Stephen Langton, archbishop of Canterbury, in May 1215. The rebel barons then sent troops under William d'Aubigny to the castle, to whom its constable Reginald de Cornhill opened the castle's gates. During October, marching from Dover to London, John then found Rochester in his way and on 11 October began besieging it in person.
The rebels were expecting reinforcements from London but on hearing of the size of King John's army they turned back at Dartford. Robert Fitzwalter rode out to stop the king, fighting his way onto the bridge but eventually being beaten back into the castle. He also sacked the cathedral, took anything of value and stabled his horses in it, all as a slight to Langton. Orders were then sent to the men of Canterbury saying, "We order you, just as you love us, and as soon as you see this letter, to make by day and night, all the pickaxes that you can. Every blacksmith in your city should stop all other work in order to make them and you should send them to us at Rochester with all speed". Five siege engines were then erected and work carried out to undermine the curtain wall. By one of these means the king's forces entered and held the bailey in early November, and began attempting the same tactics against the keep, including undermining the south-east tower. The mine-roof was supported by wooden props, which were then set alight using pig-fat, on 25 November 1215 John had sent a writ to the justiciars saying "Send to us with all speed by day and night, fifty of the fattest pigs of the sort least good for eating so that we may bring fire beneath the castle" [2], causing the south-east tower of the keep to collapse. The rebels withdrew behind the keep's cross-wall but still managed to hold out. A few were allowed to leave the castle but on John's orders had their hands and feet lopped off as an example.
Winter was now setting in, and the castle was only taken (on 30 November) by starvation and not by force. John set up a memorial to the pigs and a gallows with the intention of hanging the whole garrison, but one of his captains (Savari de Mauleon) persuaded him not to hang the rebels since hanging those who had surrendered would set a precedent if John ever surrendered - only one man was actually hanged (a young bowman who had previously been in John's service). The remainder of the rebel barons were taken away and imprisoned at various royal-held castles, such as Corfe Castle. Of the siege - against only 100 rebels, and costing over a thousand pounds a day - the Barnwell chronicler wrote "No one alive can remember a siege so fiercely pressed and so manfully resisted" and that, after it, "There were few who would put their trust in castles".
King John died on October 19, 1216, so it fell to Henry III to repair the castle. He spent over a £1000 on rebuilding, with new stables and gateways, and a further ditch to strengthen the defences. A new chapel was built next to the Royal apartments in the bailey. The most notable surviving feature is the new south-east tower, which was rebuilt according to the latest defensive design and is three-quarters round better to deflect missile attack and work against attempts at undermining.
The siege of 1264
In 1264, the dissident barons, led by Simon de Montfort, attacked Rochester. They crossed the Medway under cover of the smoke from a fire-ship, and took the city. Like John before them, they quickly gained control of the castle bailey and then attempted to undermine the keep. This time the siege was not successful, being relieved after only a week by Henry himself. However, the rebels did burn down many of the buildings, including the Royal chambers. Repairs were not carried out until 1367, under Edward III, by which time much of the stone had been removed for other use.
The 15th century Wars of the Roses were not fought in Kent, so the castle was spared. It was briefly taken by Wyatt's men during his futile uprising of 1554. But with the invention of gunpowder and introduction of cannon, this form of castle was no longer so secure. It became expensive to maintain so fell into disrepair.
Later military history
Rochester remained of strategic importance, and the neighbouring Chatham Naval Dockyard grew in importance. In the Napoleonic wars, the dockyard was protected by a circle of Palmerston Forts, including Fort Luton, Fort Borstal, Fort Pitt, Fort Clarence, and Fort Amherst. HMS Victory, Admiral Nelson's flagship was built in Chatham (though now "exiled" in Portsmouth). During the twentieth century wars, Chatham has provided a home for the Royal Engineers, and Rochester built aircraft such as the Sunderland. The Dockyard also built and serviced nuclear submarines.
Today
The castle is now maintained by English Heritage and is open to the public. The wooden flooring in the centre of the keep is gone, but many of the passageways and spiral staircases within the thickness of the walls are still usable. Decorative chevrons ornament the archways and the water well in the cross-wall is clearly visible. Visitors with a head for heights can climb 111 ft (34 m) to the battlements and enjoy a commanding view of the river and surrounding area.
Since Victorian times, Rochester Castle Gardens have been an important leisure area for Rochester. They were a popular promenade, they have hosted a bandstand, and have become a centre point for festivals and summer concerts.

'Magnificent ruin!...What a study for an antiquarian!'
The impressive Norman castle at Rochester had a humbling effect upon Dickens, reminding him perhaps of his own mortality. In Household Words he wrote: 'I surveyed the massive ruin from the Bridge, and thought what a brief little practical joke I seemed to be, in comparison with the solidarity, stature, strength and length of life.' In Dickens' time the castle looked very different. Houses and workshops filled much of the moat by the cathedral, the keep and towers were festooned with ivy and the waters of the River Medway lapped the base of the walls. - Guidemap

It's day one of my Project 365! I've been thinking about doing this for some time, and read an article the other day that said if you've been doing that, it's probably time to stop thinking, and start the challenge. So, here we go! I'll throw a little info about each picture as I post it moving forward...
This is my preferred Saturday and Sunday morning post, generally involving a cup of coffee and a book. However, my new, and first legitimate, flash arrived last night, so I was getting to know it this morning.
first shot using the impossible project film
subsequent shots have been a lil better as ive learned you REALLY have to shield the film immediately as it ejects. this one i sort of slowly put it in my pocket.
each shot seems to vary a bit, but im liking it overall. if it wasnt so expensive id buy a ton of it to stock up again.
this is a cool intersection in germantown, (phila) ive always loved. its pretty cutty back block-ish but everyone seems to keep preserving this ivy growth and just trimming out a hole for the stop sign.

Morten is a real viking with a big red beard and bright blue eyes. But no worries - he was really nice and very interested in my Project Ginger. We talked a lot, both in Danish, English and German making me real language confused. Meanwhile we were testing different poses and faces, that went really well with his amazing beard.
Sometimes you don't know how much you might miss something until it's gone. Take a dishwasher, for example. Something broke inside of ours. Repairmen came, parts were ordered, and it was fixed. But the dishes still weren't getting clean. Repairmen came back, an unrelated problem was fixed, and after washing dishes by hand for most of November it is now working like new.
For the record, this may be the most lame photo I've taken so far on the 365 project, but it was 15 minutes before midnight so cut me some slack.
My second '52' project for 2013. Sadly the View52 group are not continuing this project in 2014. My facebook group will be doing their own next year, so hopefully some of you will join us!

The Asian Highway, a project initiated in 1958 by ECAFE, aims at modernizing and linking up existing roads into a 34,000 miles network of highways that would span Asia from Turkey and Iraq to the Republic of Viet-Nam, Singapore and Indonesia. The Highway network will service an area of some 2,500,000 square miles with a population of over six hundred million. Priority Route A-I (about 6,500 miles) runs from Saigon through eight countries: The Republic of Viet-Nam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, India, East and West Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, to the Turkish border, where connections can be made to the highway systems of the Middle East and Europe. Priority Route A-2 (about 7,600 miles) runs from the Iraq border to Singapore, through Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Burma, Thailand and Malaysia, continuing into Indonesia where, after a ferry crossing from Singapore to Djakarta, it will run the whole length of the island to Java. Member governments have already invested large sums in an effort to improve the standards of the roads within their borders, and some have undertaken to eliminate the missing links between them and their neighbours.
A-1 route of the Asian Highway some 15 miles from Kabul. Construction of this road began about 20 years ago, virtually without any mechanical help. The road, which is almost completed, leads to the Khyber Pass. Some sections of the major roads in Afghanistan are being built under bilateral programmes.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
This was taken on a typical spring day: rain, clear skies, rain, rainbows, clear skies, rain.
Happy Spring.
I have decided to start a 52 weeks project. I wish with all that I have in me that I had the time to do a 365 days project but alas, college takes up so much of my time, that whenever I get some free time, it is simply a miracle.
Now this project won’t be like my past two 365s. the weekly photos might not necessarily have me in them. With my 365s I tried my hardest to be the subject in almost every photo, with a few other shots. But this time, the weekly photo may be of anything or anyone else. Some weeks I might even have some of my film work as the weekly photo. I don’t know where this project will go or how.
And I believe that over the summer, I might do another project alongside my 52 weeks, since I might have more free time than I do during the school year.
I honestly just miss having a sort of constant project I need to put my all into. I would do a 365, but I can see that making my grades suffer greatly. So 52 weeks will have to do. Some weeks, I will most likely upload more than one photo. Some weeks, I may use older photos, if I did not have time that week to take something new. I will see where this project goes.
So here’s to 52 weeks of photos! I kept promising I would become more active, and this is me forcing myself to keep my promise!
I missed you flickr :)

My friend, Lucy, is visiting this morning, while her partner teaches a class up the coast. We walked to the beach for a bit of fresh air and spotted these kite surfers. We didn't stay out for long - it was windy and my cold has moved to my chest. So the fresh air was a good idea but being out too long was not.

This is a photograph leftover from my project 365 that I did. I have hundreds of unused photographs from the project 365 that I haven't even edited yet. When I get bored, I troll through my archive of photographs from my project 365. I shot over 20,000 shutter actuations on my D200 during the course of my project 365. How do I know the approximate amount of shutter actuations I took during the 365? I looked at the embedded shutter actuation information on my 1st photograph of from my 365 and subtracted that number from the shutter actuation number on the last photograph I took for my 365. Adobe Photoshop can read the shutter and display the shutter actuation number embedded in a RAW file. There were plenty of days when I had no client to photograph, so I did a creative self portrait for that day. You can view my entire project 365 at www.eaphotography.us/blog.

By the end of the century, sub-alpine meadows could shrink up to 27 percent at Mount Rainier National Park and disappear entirely at North Cascades National Park. To understand the effects of climate change on pollinators and protect our sub-alpine meadows, the Cascades Butterfly Project will be monitoring three sites in North Cascades National Park, two in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, and four in Mount Rainier National Park.

So I know this seems like a dark start to a project and also a dark way to start the new year but the subject isn't an easy one and so I thought might as well jump in with both feet!!!
The new project is on Forgiveness - After doing my Grateful project in 2017 which was the worst year of my life, it really did help me get through all the deaths and grieving but there is a lot of aftermath that I had know idea would have even been possible with the shear unkindess from important people in my life. I have tolerated intolerable things from these people, so in order to release myself from all the poison related to harboring so much unforgiveness I feel I need to walk this journey and hope it helps some of you too who have those people or circumstances that just seem like we can never forgive. So with lots of vulnerability I welcome you to share my journey.
Now in saying this I do know how important forgiveness is after all I've been forgiven from my Lord and Savior and that's so Huge and I have no words to even comprehend that! But the other part is to forgive as I've been forgiven - That's the biggie and is so easy to say - but walking the walk and talking the talk well there's the struggle.
This is not a 365 day project, it's more of a Year long project with posts monthly as I'm trying to work this all out. I feel in trying to do a daily post I wouldn't have the time to really reflect on the importance of this journey. So hold on tight it's going to be a bumpy ride but I hope by the end of this there will be so much Freedom!!!
