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 omes 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.
Our project here was to get this crane back on it's wheels. I didn't get to stick around for real work.
…And it hit me like a fright train.
Around about this time a year ago, one of the big hips in my life had revolved around the idea that I was finally going to see one of my stories become a comic book series. As you can see, a year later. That never happened. Not only did my story, like so many before never leave the pages of it’s original manuscript, the aforementioned comic book company never even managed to spread its wings and get off the ground. Bad management sealed our fate, and it was over before it had even begun.
I can’t say the experience was entirely heart braking. I figure any opportunity that arises worthy enough to get my gears grinding out a new story is always a plus. The comic book, maybe dead (at least for the moment) but the story is not. And in this case I feel like it was a double plus, considering I decided to run with an idea my wife had been quietly sitting on for a good number of years. Odele, isn’t dead. She’s just been put on the back burner. Actually I get to call it a triple whammy. During that time frame we’d also befriended a fellow writer, and have since stayed in touch. We still have aspirations of working on a project together one day. And we’ve both been patiently hunting for an opportunity since.
That was a year ago, and opportunities. Well they just don’t seem to be there. That got me thinking today. Well, actually like I’d mentioned before. It kind of hit me like a freight train. “Dude, I should just make my own damn comic book.” Then I remembered that I couldn't draw worth a shit, and for a second I kind of pushed the idea out of my head. Till I thought back on Sin Blanca. I’ve done three installments now. Each three panels long. Each a little more intricate then the last. Sort of like character development. Or early storyboard concepts. And that’s when it really hit me.
“I don’t need to find an artist to make a comic book. I already have one…Me.”
I’m not even sure it’s ever been done before but that is my plan. I’m going to start a new story (there’s a reason for that). My aim is for a short forty page graphic novel. Dark, dry, dirty, and left wide open for the opportunity to further the story. Simple. I already have a new protagonist. Sin. To turn it into a graphic novel, I’m not going to call on artists to draw me up pages though. I’m going to rally a few friends, pass a script around, and create the entire thing with my camera.
I’m gonna make a comic book with processed pictures. Hence the reason for a new story. I can think outside of the box, but only as far as what my camera lens can feasibly capture. A ten story building blowing up, and then collapsing. Cool as that might sound. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be able to get a picture of that. I have limitations. But this isn’t the first time I’ve had to write under scrutiny, and really I’m limited only by what I think I can shoot, and post process. Beyond that. The sky is the limit.
If all goes well I hope to have a decent story in the next few months. Rally a few friends to enlist as cast, and hopefully shooting will begin on schedule early to mid spring.
I have a feeling this is going to be fun as hell.

I did not make these custom HissTanks, I just photographed them. To check out the ongoing art project visit the CanvHISS Project on Facebook!
this is from my "project in process" and i shooted this weekend and today i finished some of the pictures. Enjoy
A assingment that later became a project,
A lot of the inspiration i got from a wonderful photographer named Francesca Woodman.
((A young girl, who used her naked body, and created soulfull photographs whithout a sexual feeling.
Dark, beautiful, mysterious. i think at least.))
Anyhow, I wanted to take pictures, with inspiration from her, but still me, and here is some of the result.
I Photographed everything with a Hasselblad, Tri-X 400 ISO film, developed by my self, and spend quite many hours in the darkroom until i was satisfied. There pictures, are SCANNED pictures from the finished picture. So the quality ( because a quite crappy scanner) aren't as good as it should be..

Memoria Project
Veterans Park, Highland, New Jersey
Stephen Shaheen's Memoria Project features two figures carved from granite, a design inspired by Roman architecture and the Twin Towers.
A decade in the making, this past autumn, Shaheen's labor of love, titled the "Memoria Project"-13-foot marble sculptures surrounded by granite blocks engraved with all 2,987 names of those who lost their lives to the Evils of Islam in the tragedy-was dedicated in a waterside park in Highlands, NJ, 10 minutes from the small town of Rumson, where Shaheen grew up.

This is a project that is very personal to me. With a goal to reflect about things in my life by going beyond my comfort zone and understanding todays world view through the life stories of others.
I will this time not only interview strangers but also people I know to have a larger scope of interviews.
Hope you enjoy it.

18 year old french student. Her favorite color is green and her favorite food is seafood.
Her dream is that her "life becomes a voyage" and two words she used to describe herself was "Fighter", when I asked why, she just said :"If at first you don't succeed, try try again" and the second word to describe herself was "Daring" because she could leave everything to find adventure "I don't know how to ride a motocycle, but I would do it anyways if someone asked me."
Her favorite childhood memory was when her parents where still together and they where all having a great time together around the pool. Her worst childhood memory was seeing her family fall apart.
If Barbara could change anything in today's world it would be the "individualistic and hypocrite mentality of our society."
I then asked her what the word "Happiness" meant for her and she replied: "It's the ephemeral feeling of really existing."
