This car competed in the 2¼ hour long Gentlemen Drivers GT and Sports Endurance Race at the HGPCA's International Historic Grand Prix meeting at Donington Park in May 2004. It's shown in the programme of the event as a 1961 3.9 litre Aston Martin DB4 GT to be driven in the race by Wolfgang Friedrichs and David Clark, but it is actually Wolfgang Friedrichs' replica of the Aston Martin Project 214 cars that were built in 1963.

Project Prometheus was a classified initiative to create the biggest weapon yield possible wihtout explosives. Seen left are the Prometheus satellites which use a 4 kiloton slug with an 11.84 megaton impact yield. This was outlawed by the D&CII War Council and so the answer was the Pildriver missile (left, not to scale with Prometheus) which uses a slug half the size and half the yield.
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."

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.
Part 2 of the October 2009 monthly sketch project.
Stop and Go apples, coloured pencil.
Trying again with one of my favourite media- coloured pencil :) I have been reading up a little more on it- so I have a slightly better result- I just need to find some more things to perfect the technique :)

Germany - Lubeck: Market Square - Lubeck's "parlour" with the Marienkirche and the Rathaus - town hall.
The Market Square of Lübeck is very nice. It’s surrounded by nice buildings. And a church, the Maria church. The whole block is probably very old. Lübeck was the very center of the Hanseatic League, 700 or so years ago. This organisation was a very strong power, ruling the better part of the Baltic sea. Probably many a thing took place at this very square. Markets for sure. Maybe executions.

The Hanseatic League (also: the Hansa) was an alliance of trading guilds that established and maintained a trade monopoly over the Baltic Sea, to a certain extent the North Sea, and most of Northern Europe for a time in the Late Middle Ages and the early modern period, between the 13th and 17th centuries.
For more information see:-

The Radhaus - (Local Name: Rathaus) In the Markt, in the center of Lübeck's old town, stands the Town Hall, one of the most magnificent in Germany, built in the 13th-15th centuries in dark glazed brick, with a Renaissance addition of 1570 fronting the building.
The Dom.
Many of Germany’s historical city centers were bombed during World War II, and Lübeck was no exception. The Romanesque and Gothic Dom, for instance, Lübeck’s cathedral, was severely damaged. The Dom was begun in 1173, was taken over by the Protestants during the Reformation and re-emerged after World War II with the magnificent Triumphal Cross (1477) by Bernt Notke still intact. It hangs high over the pews, a reminder of the church’s Catholic past.

SPUTNIK I AND PROJECT MOONWATCH
On October4, 1957, the USSR launched the first successful artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik 1 but how was this new “moon" to be tracked from the ground? Fortunately, an American astronomer named Dr. Fred L. Whipple had already conceived a three-part network to do this.
1. Hundreds of amateur observes would help to scan the skies for newly launched satellites;
2. A team of twelve specialized telescopic cameras around the world would photograph the satellite's motion against background stars, and
3. The control center at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts would coordinate all the observations and perform the orbital computations.
Many professional astronomers did not believe that amateurs had the "right stuff” to track these satellites, but the amateurs soon proved their worth using their observational skills with small, wide-field low-power telescopes Like the ones in this exhibit. Tracking artificial Earth satellites by amateurs became a widespread new global science sport.
These telescopes have a magnification of 6X and a field of view of twelve degrees.
Never got to finish some of my reviews (mostly my fault) but I didn't want to leave these pictures unreleased.
So here is the image gallery from the Project Mc2 Wave 3 Bryden review that never happened. Enjoy.

Projects I'm planning on making for Dressing Downton. See more on my blog here: star-spangledheart.blogspot.com/2011/12/dressing-downton-...
For over a year now, Elisa and I have been looking out for opportunities to contribute to our Found Shadow Project. Here are some of the results.
We set up these rules for the project:
1. Only 'found' shadows could be entered in the project (nothing is staged!).
2. The object casting the shadow must be out of frame.
3. Only available light, natural or otherwise. may be used.
More in the Shadow Project set
i've done quite a few of these naturally formed heart snaps, so i think i will dedicate an album solely for it!
Ok, so here we go onto another big project; something I have been wanting to do and upon pondering for sometime; it's time to get this lined up for 2014. Basic rules are one picture per day and I will not use my iPhone.. my primes will carry the all the visual work. Strobes are permitted and upon finishing the project, I will give myself a gift.... a printed photo book.
Project Be is the superimposition many profound political statements over an abandoned 700-unit apartment complex in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. Co-ordinated largely by local artist Brandon Odums, it represents the work of dozens of artists. Their work covers the faces of several buildings and every surface of the abandoned apartments in those buildings. Honored are Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Angela Davis, and many other public figures.
Local schoolchildren enjoy an interactive experience at the Garden with Project Green Reach. Photo by Michael Stewart.
#50 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: Portait of Marjorie Ferry by Tamara de Lempicka ~ 1932
Result: Portrait of Marjorie Furry
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens in a Moleskine plain journal
Location: At home
Note: It's overcast, wet & chilly weather... and I have a head cold ...so I am falling back on fanart and shamelessly using Tamara de Lempicka's work as an inspiration while my own imagination just sits there like old porridge in my skull. It was fun....between sneezes. Is it just me, or do all her women have feline faces? Probably me....aaaanyway ...going to go pass out now.
