Brendon is one off the last in Line who fish from the shore line .. An ancient / Roman time pursuit , done by crossing the Mud flats of the sea on wooden sledges / trolley / Mud Horse ! They go two miles out on trechorous sinking mud to go and collect the fish that have been caught in the nets that have been tied to stakes. They have approx two hours to collect the days catch and push themsleves back , the tide is one of the highest and quickest in Europe so one has to keep an eye on the tide or you will never get back. The picture i included is the wooden sea horse plus the fish shed , where the fish is sold to the locals from far and wide. Brendon's Son has now taken over , they fish for 8 days then take a break pending the moon and tide ... Start all over again. These guys are serious ! Believe you me .. The only family fishing this way in The whole of Europe. Now , this is part of the story as i have been asked to go out with Adrain and photo while out in the mud flats !! A possible chance .. least there is no heights involved but i cant swim , never go in the sea lol ( The tide is out but one will be looking over one' s shoulder to keep an eye on the tide !! In B&W it will be spectaular but then again sinking mud .. just you and the Mud Horse to keep you from sinking .. Rather you than me but anything for a photo !!
If you google Stolford , Mud Horse . sellick , you will see the history on what they do !!
This will be my last post now so tally ho ! Im planned and ready for the off .. catch up mid september ... Good luck to all you new members of this fantastic project CJ.. keep snapping and the well established members go slow !! I will be back
Andrew Zuckerman: The Wisdom Project
Filmmaker and photographer Andrew Zuckerman thinks hard-won insights should be shared. That’s why he’s releasing The Wisdom Project, a one-hour documentary film and companion book that share the collective experiences of 51 luminaries over age 65, including authors, artists, and world leaders from Willie Nelson to Nelson Mandela.
Inspired by the ancient African concept of ubuntu, which emphasizes human connectedness—I am what I am because of who we all are—Zuckerman set out to gather and communicate the lessons his extraordinary subjects have learned about love, work, the environment, and conflict resolution. “We live in a confusing and fast-changing world,” says the filmmaker. “It’s a great time to look to our elders, to see what they have to say that can help us.”
There is a short inspiring capture of people that is quite moving to listen to.

Lush Style Guide
Meg Curtis's Layout Design Spring 2008
This is the front of the style guide I created for Lush. The green lotus flap folds open.
An image from a project I did exploring the notion of alter ego's and presenting the self in different ways. My Lucy alter ego revolves around the idea of a person that is jaded and has her head up in the clouds, basking in her surroundings. Starring: S.S

Day 50, The 365 Toy Project
19 February 2011
Group exhibition at the Gerard Dillon Gallery, Culturlann, Falls rd, Belfast
In 2001, Rosie McGurran established the Inishlacken Project in memory of the Falls road artist, Gerard Dillon, after reading Three Men on an Island by James MacIntyre. The book recalls a visit he made to Inishlacken island, Connemara in 1951 on Dillon's invitation. During his time there, Dillon invited many of his fellow artists to join him, inadvertantly creating a visual archive of the island. McGurran established the Project to honour the artists from the past while creating a 21st Century archive of contemporary visual art.
The Frankenstein Project by Tony Stallard
Like a sinister exhibit in one of Blackpool 's Victorian freak shows, the skeleton of a killer whale made from pulsating dark blue neon can be viewed through portholes within a metal tank like a decompression chamber.

RAINWATER PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1.0 Introduction
Proper project cycle management is required to promote indigenous rainwater harvesting technology in the ASALs of Kenya Often times, this project cycle is catalyzed by the government, NGOs or external donors by funding demonstration projects. In this article I discuss the key success factors in such community water project management. The project cycle described is based on 5 phases that will be outlined below.
2.0 Project identification phase
Two main things happen during the project identification phase:-
•Need identification
•Stakeholder identification
2.1 The project need
The need for a community water project is identified by a project champion. A project champion can come from the community or from outside the community. The role of the project champion is to originate the project vision.
The project vision has the following 4 components:-
•Where are we now? How serious is the problem of water scarcity is the area?
•Where could we be if we had water? What things could we do if we had water?
•How could we solve the water problem? What facility could we install? How could we finance it?
•How can we ensure we succeed? What are the main risks and issues to be tackled? How can we overcome the risks and get the project going?
2.2 The project stakeholders
The project champion soon realizes that she/he cannot do the project alone. The project champion then seeks to involve the project stakeholders by doing the following things:-
a)Identifying the key stakeholders
In a community water project, these are likely to be the water project end-users, potential labourers, potential project administrators, the relevant government ministries, material suppliers, grant makers and collaborating partners like NGOs.
In particular the project champ should identify representatives of these stakeholders groups and convince them to push the idea together through a formal structure called the project management board (PMB).
b)Once the PMB has been agreed upon, the authority to start the project can be formalized in a document called a project charter.
c)The PMB should meet to discuss how to implement the project. This top-level plan can be formalized in a project execution plan.
d)The PMB may also agree on external consultants who can be used to do project design or supervise the construction. The sum total of all external agents and experts to be used on the project is called the project control board.
e)The project management board should also agree on the project manager who will manage the project on a day to day basis. The project board can then monitor and evaluate the performance of the project manager and report to the project stakeholders. This forms the project M & E plan.
f)The work the consultants will perform and the procedures they will use should be formalized in the project control procedure.
3.0 The project planning phase
The project planning phase is done by the project management board. The project board has to agree on the following 7 issues:-
•Why do we require a rainwater harvesting system?
•What should the system be able to do?
•How well should the system function?
•Who will be served by the system?
•Where will we source the funds to build and operate the system?
•Which methods will be used to assess the success or failure of the system?
•When will the activities agreed upon be done?
4.0 The project execution phase
The project manager is responsible for ensuring the project is implemented as planned or nearly so. The main issues the project manager looks at are:-
(i)Project time management
(ii)Project human resource management
(iii)Project cost management
iv) Project procurement management
5.0 Project closure phase
5.1 The project communication plan
The various project phases must be brought to a conclusion. Three things must be examined at the end of each phase or stage:
•The achievements of the project are assessed. What was achieved as planned? What was planned, but was never achieved? What was achieved but had not been planned?
•What lessons can be learnt from this project experience?
•How do we intend to use the lessons we learnt in future?
5.2 The project information distribution plan
The lessons learnt are distributed to the identified project stakeholders.
5.3 Project contract closure
The project is then formally closed down.
My first day back at work after being off sick for a while. On my way to the station to go home (early, I'm easing back in) I noticed that all the blinds were down MBIE building.
Monday, 21st November 2016
Today I was thinking how to motivate myself in this 365 project: reading photography blogs and websites, watching photographs on flikr and 500px, etc. Then, I found an article talking about ways to find inspiration and it talked about the automatic filters of our cameras. I decided to start playing with them for the next days.
This is the "Toy camera" effect.
I like the colours and the mood it produces. But my camera, a fuji xt1, doesn't let me control the ISO or the focus when playing with them, that's a bit annoying for me. They are also limited to JPG, but I don't care about RAW in this case.
The next days I'll show you the other "Advanced filters", some of them are really cool! You'll see.

TGIF Today I had one of those days when you look at the clock cause you think it's 3 pm only to realize it is only 10 am! I had this shot in mind since yesterday and me and Marlene decided to go all red carpet for this picture!
We managed to complete the shoot with some distractions along the way. Definitely a sight if you're out for a stroll and you see a guy with lights and a girl looking like she did, you'd do a double take and decide to see what it is all about.
Info: Canon 7D | 24-70mm @ 38mm (ƒ/2.8) | ƒ/9 | ISO 100 | 1/050s

Today was an awesome day. I got to hung out with some awesome friends and we started a sewing project!
See, I'm a huge video game nerd, always have been. I never used to admit it because back in the day it was uncool to be a nerd, and yes, I cosplayed.
Since its been ten years since I last made a pleated skirt my friend and I decided that we should do practice skirts before making the actual skirts for our cosplay. If things work out, I'll be doing a cosplay as Yukiko from Persona 4 for PAX East. :)
This is the practice skirt, well, partly done at least, with Yukiko's fan.
This is a continuation of the current project of an Image a day.
This will take a year to complete. It will be a "Colour Project"....numbered 731 to 1100 and it will begin on September 1st 2022..
I will also include an additional 4 Sets that will last a month each.
First will be Vines and Vineyards in November.2022.
Second is Forests ,,Water, ,Trees and Leaves in February 2023.
Third "Light Eating Objects" in May 2023.
Forth will be another B&W . August 2023.
On top of all that every month will feature a small set of 4 pics with different themes.
As you can see I shall be a busy Bunny!.
Hope you like the stuff!!!!!!!.
