HBO has been south of Mt. Morris shooting a new horror drama called “Lovecraft Country”. The series is about the encounters of a young black man who travels across the country in the 1950's. This is one of the main cars used in the filming. It sits quietly awaiting its next call in a bean field East of White Pines State Park. It's been neat seeing how Hollywood flips back the calendar some 60 years over night on the backroads of our small community.
Special Guests Don Horner & Norlan Ricks, were always found helping behind the scenes on the set of Courageous.

Vote No on Prop 8 and Support Civil Rights with CrashPadSeries.com
Proposition 8 is a Civil Rights violation. Should it pass by majority vote on November 4th, it will add discrimination to the California State Constitution and will be a major step backwards for civil rights and for the LGBT community. Thousands of gays and lesbians have been legally married in California, and many more are planning their wedding vows. We will win equality!
The Good News: The most recent polls show a rising increase of those in favor of Voting NO on Prop 8! This happened because the “No on Prop 8″ Campaign got more donations and was able to air commercial ads in prime tv spots, ads which dispelled the many misunderstandings about Prop 8. We’re confident that with a little more financial support, we can win!
The Better News: We at Pink & White Productions have decided to donate ALL signup sales from folks joining CrashPadSeries.com on one whole 24-hour day to give to the “No on Prop 8 Campaign“.
Sign up for a membership to CrashPadSeries.com on Thursday October 30th and support Civil Rights and equality for everyone. Help us to stop this proposed injustice. We’ll be counting sales up until midnight and want to announce a HUGE donation so spread the word!
Buying porn has never been so revolutionary.
Spread the word!
These are some of the props John used in putting on his presentation, which include some different steps in the production, or cutting of spheres, using two different methods and diamond core drills, as well as other tools he has designed.
Taken at Big Pit, Blaenavon. Wooden props sit next to modern roof supports, the building at the back of the shot is the Mill, which is still working.

Very accurate replicas of the Constantine zippo lighter i made. Made of machined and etched brass. With foundry cast coins which were goldplated.
The replicas are fully functional
I was part of a collaborative build at BrickFair Virginia 2024 which had participants build sections of movie or television sets. I was assigned two sections which would not be specific sets, but would enhance the studio layout.
My second section was a prop workshop with scattered props based on various alien related IP.
You can just make out the Shivering Sands fort on the left.

Red Sands sea fort abandoned in the middle of the Thames Estuary. Designed by Guy Maunsell, they were military bases in WW2 used to shoot down aircraft and stop mining in the channel.
A slightly weathered bicycle propped up against the wall in a side street of Puerto Pollensa, Majorca. The post-processing i've done on this makes it look more Cuban than Spanish!!
Hope it doesn't look washed out on your screens. It looks perfect on my iMac screen at home, but seems really bleached out on the PC at work.
Backstage at the Rio Grande Theatre, where the Shanghai Circus has set up props for showtime. Curios with a purpose, every one a carefully designed piece of the puzzle.
so I always thought that it was really silly that iwako brand food erasers were so expensive and that people would actually pay it, when you can get much cheaper food erasers here in the states from basically anywhere (I've found them at craft stores, walmart, and even dollar stores)
well it's definitely a case of you get what you pay for...
I found someone selling them for relatively cheap and decide to pick up a couple lots just to see 'cause I'm lacking in drink type props, and I totally get the reason for the hype now.
they're so much nicer than the american (meaning purchased in america, pretty sure they were all made in china or something) ones; the eraser is denser and less chalky/brittle than the cheapy ones, and the labels don't feel like they're going to peel off just from looking at them like the ones on the american erasers do.
over all, I'd say it was money well spent 'cause I'm sure I'll get plenty of use out of them.
Partial view of a Flying Boxcar at the Greybull Museum. I recall seeing many of these coming in on final approach to Willow Grove Airbase when I was a youngster.

Prop roots of screw pine (Pandanus utilis) in Cooper's Island Nature Reserve, Parish of St. George's, Bermuda.
I photographed this particular tree near the entrance (in area 4) on the map of the nature reserve and neighbouring areas, on the east side of the peninsula. Screw pine is not native to Bermuda but is an introduction quite commonly seen in gardens and public spaces. This being a conservation area, I guess it's possible it will be removed at some stage as part of the programme to restore the Reserve as far as possible to Bermuda's native vegetation, but it makes an attractive and striking feature when the whole tree is seen against the background of Turtle Bay.
There is a pair of Jamaican anole lizards (Anolis grahami) lying on the prop roots, just visible.
This picture shows two of Bermuda's invasive species - the pair of Jamaican anole lizards and the white daisy flower (white beggars ticks, Bidens pilosa), lower R. The screw pine is a non-invasive introduction. Further details below.
----------
JAMAICAN ANOLE
also known as Graham's anole
Anolis grahami Gray, 1845
The green lizard (L.) is a male. These lizards can change colour (using melanocytes) so the brownish one (R.) is possibly a colour-variant male. It might also be a female one but these are described as usually greenish grey to light grey. This lizard is endemic to Jamaica but was introduced in Bermuda in 1905 by a former Director of Agriculture to control the fruit fly. It is now very common everywhere in Bermuda and is effectively an invasive species, as it is displacing the endemic Bermuda rock skink, Eumeces longirostris, the only lizard originally found on the island.

SCREW PINE
Pandanus utilis Bory
Other common vernacular names (in English) include Madagascar screw pine, common screw pine, screw palm or pandan. It is not a true pine, or a true palm, but a palm-like evergreen monocot. It is not native to Bermuda but is an introduction quite commonly seen in gardens and public spaces. It has also been introduced into many other parts of the tropics and sub-tropics around the world. It is native to the SW Indian Ocean including the Seychelles (which is where I first came across it). Screw pine has characteristic cylindrical prop roots, as seen here, which make a geometric 'tepee' around the base of the tree giving extra support in poor soils and in hurricanes.

WHITE BEGGAR TICKS
Bidens pilosa Linnaeus
This daisy relative is a forb which is native to tropical America, but an invasive introduction in Bermuda. The flowers have a variable petal arrangement or sometimes none at all. The seeds numerous and are barbed and cling to animals and clothing like a burr, which at least in part gives rise to the plant's vernacular name. This also helps to make this plant a rapid and effective disperser, so the species colonises quickly and opportunistically. The barbs on the seeds also sting.

COOPER'S ISLAND
Huge man-made changes affected all this area during the 20th Century, through the construction of a US Air Base (KIndley), a US Naval Air Station, Bermuda's civil airport, and various installations including a NASA tracking station. Since the US forces left the base, a clean-up was carried out after some tricky negotiations. Apart from the civil airport and various residual buildings, the bases have now all gone. The lasting effect of all the military works was to make what were once separate islands (Cooper's Island, St. David's Island) into a single landmass. Following demolition of all the military installations, the whole area now includes the largest area of undeveloped land on Bermuda, the largest area of public parkland (Cooper's Island National Park) and the largest nature reserve (Cooper's Island Nature Reserve), the latter being committed to a major nature conservation and restoration programme.
