So here we are again, me typing this, and you reading. I've been putting a lot of thought into my account over the past few months. My photography has become such a joy to me and my life that I find the longer I do what I do, the more addicted I become (tragic right?) :P
I absolutely love creating art with Still-Life Photography. I been shooting Lego for nearly six years now and see no signs of stopping in the future. I've been part of an incredible community over the years and I find myself wondering if this is all worth it? Now I know that my photos are enjoyed by you all, and now I feel that this is the next obvious step in my relationship to Lego and my Camera.
To answer that question, 'is it worth it'? Well of course it is, but I don't wanna drown in my own ideas without being able to execute them. So I guess that's what leads us here....
I've started a Patreon to fund my photography. ...But what does that mean?
It means I've decided to give you even more content, but whether you want to see it is up to you. Patreon is a crowd-funding website, made to encourage artists and designers to make more stuff! Now that doesn't really change what's happening here on flickr, this little page isn't going anywhere!
Starting a Patreon is a bit nerve-racking, and some thoughts come to mind. Things like, will my followers support me and enjoy the extra content? Does this change the perception you guys have on me? And honestly, I really shouldn't be worried. I enjoy creating art, and you guys enjoy viewing those creations! So there doesn't seem to be any downside to something like this.
If you donate any amount you'll receive bonus content not seen on any of my other Social Media! Some of this stuff includes, behind the scenes of MOC's, builds that set my scenes, previews to new content, and upcoming projects (WIP's), plus other scraps that don't quite belong anywhere else! :)
My Patreon is set up as a subscription that you get to choose the price. Basically if you wanted to throw me a few dollars a month, you get access to more stuff related to my Photography! This could also include anything from previews of new figs, to tips and tricks to photography. A full year of that would be cheaper than a Large PAB cup!
Now if you're all like “Hey yo what? Pay for this junk? No way!” Dude that's totally fine! This is something totally up to you! I won't stop posting on flickr, but you may just see that stuff earlier on Patreon! You may even see how I built that one Rouge's lair or how I did that one effect in that one photo, et cetera :P
There are already a few posts up about my lighting setups and builds for the recent Black Lantern posts, Gotham In Red, The Flash No.123, and some other stuff! If you pay more than a dollar, you get even more content, like fully edited photo's that I don't post here! :)
I really enjoy this community that flickr has created and I want to be a part of it for as long as I can. Supporting my work will only encourage me to create more and strengthen the community! Plus, it funds cool things like Fish-eye lenses, new lighting equipment, More Christo figs, and more Bricklink Orders!
There is no shame in not contributing! I'll be just fine if you feel you can't donate, but this would help keep my page floating! And hey, you all get a peek into my workspace, and that's kinda what drives me to create my Patreon. To be able to share my creativity, keep teaching, and learning what it's like to be a professional photographer... what ever that means :P
Thanks guys :)
Question for anyone who might know from scanning negatives. In the centre of the tree you can see some whiteness where the clouds should be dark, is that a known issues of scanning?

An age old question - is it the color that defines a rose, or is it the delicate beauty and softness of its petals?
Island of Discovery - Questions (part 2/3)
Recovered from the journal of Reginald J. Schnuff; pirate, explorer, archaeologist, etc.
Journal Entry 457
“I awoke to the sound of waves and discovered that I wasn’t dead. Where was I and what happened? Then it came to me: the shipwreck. All my mates. Gone. Given up to the depths. I survived, but why? Here on an unknown island with no food or shelter. I was left to my fears and my racing heart. I was better off sinking in the sea.
I journeyed through the jungle for what seemed like days. Some places dark as midnight. Every sound made my skin crawl, and I knew that with every step I was being watched.
Still I found no signs civilization, and I couldn’t tell whether that was a good thing or not. The tales of cannibals and monsters even frightened a pirate such as I. The sea I could handle, but all alone on an unknown island, I wasn’t sure. But I would not go down without a fight that’s to be sure.
Then all of a sudden, I stepped into a clearing with what seemed to be a village taken over by the jungle. ‘So there are people here in this island?’ It appeared that nobody had been in these parts for a very long time, except for the lit torches. They cast an eerie glow over the buildings and dense foliage. I looked all around and couldn’t find a soul. ‘Where are the people?’ I wondered...”
Hey everyone this is the second part of my Island of Discovery miniseries. There will be a total of three MOCs in this series. Please let me know what you think of the MOC and the story!
Soli Deo Gloria!

I received a flurry of emails asking questions about SWFEC late last night, February 8, 2023. In an effect to address most of them I have put together a question and answer Flickr page. Please be sure to read the description below the photo find the information. I hope the information will answer most of the questions. Thank you.
Will the eaglets be banded?
There was a question concerning banding the eaglets at SWFEC. Unless the eaglets have to be removed from the nest for some reason, we don’t believe there is any plan to band them in the nest. Banding requires a permitted licensed bander to place the bands and at this time there are no research projects that we know of that are banding.
Even wildlife facilities have to have someone in their organization certified to band birds - or have to know someone who is certified out of their organization who can band the bird for them.
Eaglets have to be a certain age in order to be banded. Too young, the band will slip off. The eaglets at SWFEC are of an age where they could be banded if they are removed from the nest.
Do eagles get hoarse?
There was an interesting question asked that related to M15’s voice. People have thought that M15’s voice might be hoarse. from all of the vocalizing to warn intruders away and calling for his mate.
Eagles don’t have vocal cords and the sound is produced in the syrinx, which is a bony chamber located in the trachea which divides to go to the lungs. The bird’s syrinx has membranes in its outer walls that vibrate when the bird vocalizes. Birds can vibrate those syringeal membranes both when they breathe in and when they breathe out.
The syrinx in birds is similar in function to our larynx, or voice box, but very different in structure. Our larynx is located just downstream from our throat at the top of our trachea (wind pipe), whereas the bird’s syrinx is located at the bottom of the trachea, where it splits into two branches, the bronchi, each branch going to one of the bird’s two lungs.
While it might be possible for a bird’s sound to alter with overuse, it is usually caused by inflammation or infection (bacterial or fungal). Please note that we don’t think either are a concern. M15 has always had a different vocal than Harriet - much more raspy in my opinion. Maybe he has been louder so we are able to hear it better?
What is Harriet’s Age?
One of the questions we are asked frequently is how old the adult eagles are. We can only go by what we know as confirmed when making an estimate of Harriet’s age. None of the adults have been banded, so there is no way of knowing when the eagles hatched - including Harriet’s first mate, Ozzie. We have a better idea of the age of M15 since his plumage and eye color were that of a newly mature eagle (5 years of age).
Based on local viewers and the property owners, the Pritchetts, who have watched the pair nesting on the Pritchetts’ property over the years, Harriet is at least 22 years of age. She has been seen nesting at this nest since 2006. We take the number of years she has been nesting at this nest and add five years since it takes approximately five years before an eagle is mature and ready to raise a family. (17 years at SWFEC nest + 5 years = 22 years)
However, there was a nest across the street that locals said she and her previous mate, Ozzie, nested and raised young. If she is the same female that nested across the street she could be in her late 20s or even 30s. But we have no hard evidence to make that determination.
The information on the nest across the street (and Bald Eagle nests across Florida) was documented by Audubon Florida’s EagleWatch program. There are no records that we know of with FWC stating it was Harriet in the other nest. None of the eagles that nested in this particular nest across the street from the Pritchetts’ property have been banded.
With as many eagles in Florida there were most likely locals observing that nest long before it failed. IF photographers had good equipment there may be photos of the eagles nesting in that location that may have IDing marks, but we are not aware of them, nor have we seen them. Without definitive proof there is no way of knowing if the same eagles nested in that location for a period of years.
We don’t want to post any information that we can’t substantiate - which is why her age is stated the way it is. We know Harriet has to be at least 22 years old, but she is most likely older - we just don’t know how old. Eagles have been known to raise young in the late 30s, so it is possible she is that old. The oldest known wild eagle died at the age of 38. However, the only reason this is known is because that eagle had been banded - most are not banded.
Regarding the nest near Donald Street - interestingly enough the present nest (SWFEC) is now listed as LE026 (it used to be LE-26B). The nest that was located near Donald Street had been listed as LE-26A and the present nest was LE-26B. Now the nest in west pasture is listed as LE026a and the present nest is listed as LEO26.
Since the nest tree that did house LE-26A is no longer standing, there is no reference to it on the Bald Eagle nest Locator map (the Audubon recently changed/updated their nest locator site).
This is the information that had been listed about the previous nest before the site was updated. Previous Nest History by Year (LE-26A Strap Number: 30-43-25-04-00005.0000 - was located across the street):
90-91 Active, 2 Fledglings confirmed
91-92 Active, 1 Fledgling confirmed
92-93 Active, 2 Fledglings confirmed
93-94 Active, 3 Fledglings confirmed

06-07 Inactive *Built a new nest north of Bayshore Rd (LEO26B). 2 chicks fledged at LEO26B
07-08 through 11-12 Inactive
Please remember that the observations before 2012 are from ground observations only. Members of Audubon Florida’s EagleWatch usually check nests periodically and try to maintain proper distances and make available blinds to prevent disturbance of an active Bald Eagle nest.
I would also like to post the exact quote from Dr. Heather Barron concerning Ozzie’s possible age: Quote from Dr. Heather Barron: “For age, I said 20s to 30s to them because eagles get their adult plumage and usually start mating around 5-7 years of age. So, if people have reported him in the area for 20 years, then he was at least 5, possibly older when he showed up, which could mean he is closer to 30. Either way, the average lifespan is 15-20 years, so he certainly was better than average.
Searching for Harriet.
There is concern as to what search parties have been organized to locate Harriet. We can only share what we know. The Pritchetts searched their own extended property the first weekend after Harriet flew off. We also know a few locals who have checked certain areas where Harriet has been known to frequent - with permission from any property owner. Always get permission from the property owner when undertaking any search.
There were reports of downed eagles; those areas were checked with no findings. We understand a number of local people have also conducted searches, but we have no information on where they searched.
Please remember - this is Florida. There are many areas of Florida with thick, rough vegetation which is hard to maneuver through. There are also wildlife that live in these areas; including snakes, rats, alligators, bobcats and coyote. Extreme caution should be used when undertaking any search in these areas.
Who named Ozzie and Harriet?
Another question that is asked frequently is how did “Harriet” and her first mate, “Ozzie” get their names. We asked the Pritchetts this question when the camera first came online. Their answer was the eagles were named by some local bird enthusiasts who followed the pair from the beginning. Since they were already known by the locals as “Ozzie” and “Harriet” the Pritchetts continued use those names when the cameras began streaming online.
Apparently there is still some confusion over who “named” the eagles. We asked the Pritchetts again to make sure we were sharing the correct information. From the Pritchetts: “We did not coin their names. The initial group of watchers did; way before we started even thinking about the cameras. They told us the names whenever we stopped by to talk to them and it stuck.”
Would another female raise the young at this time?
There was a question as to whether another female might be accepted by M15 at this time and help raise the eaglets. This is a question that we really can’t answer. It is totally up to M15 as to whether he might be willing to allow another eagle in the nest. And it is also totally up to a female Bald Eagle as to whether they would be interested in helping to raise young that were not hers.
There are many rogue eagles in Florida right now - especially in the areas where Hurricane Ian caused loss of habitat and nests. Each year we have observed a number of visitors/intruders in the territory, but this year there have been a greater number. Both Harriet and M15 have spent quite a bit of time warning intruders away - even giving chase.
Someone wanted to know why Harriet left. The day Harriet left the nest tree she had been vocalizing quite a bit and checking the skies. It was thought she may have left to give chase, but this is speculation on my part as to her actions. We have no idea what happened once she was out of view of the cameras. But it did appear she took flight away from the nest tree due to a perceived threat.
In nature, we can never say never. While cameras on a number of nests have given biologists more insight on what happens during breeding times, it doesn’t mean what was seen at one nest could happen at another nest. It is highly unlikely that M15 and another female would bond enough to raise E21 and E22 together at this time. Bonding is an important part of choosing a mate. Harriet didn’t accept M15 until closer to breeding season. However, that doesn’t mean it might not happen. We all wait to see how this season plays out and wish M15 continued success as he cares for his two young eaglets.

“Sky, why are you downside up?”
“It’s a clever ploy Bertie. I am trying to think of an answer to a question I have and I thought that if I was downside up, all my cleverness would be sure to be in my head where it needs to be.” Said Sky proudly.
“Wow! Did you think of that on your own Sky?”
“I did Bertie, and now I have to see if it works, so I can answer my questions.”
“Could I help you do you think Sky, only it feels a bit strange talking to fluffy kneecaps?”
“Maybe Bertie, after all you are known for your cleverness. I think I’ll stay like this though just in case you fail…again.”
“What is your question then Sky?”
“The man was talking to that screen picture thing he has and this hooman who he was talking to said they were having “Lunder and Tightening”. I was trying to work out what that is, do you know Bertie?”
“Lunder and Tightening, now let me think Sky. Eeermm, no sorry can’t help you with that one but then knowing hoomans, they probably don’t know themselves.”
Just then Icecap and Posh Bear came along and sat down beside them.
“Hi chaps, can either of you two help poor Sky before all his intelligence goes to his head and comes out of his ears?” Asked Bertie.
“I can’t see there being enough of it to make that happen to Sky.” Giggled Icecap.
“Well anyway, Sky wants to know what Lunder and Tightening is, as he heard the man’s screen hooman say it earlier.”
“What was actually said Sky?” Asked Icecap.
“Well, the man said it was sunny here and the screen hooman said they had Lunder and Tightening. I had a thunk and couldn’t work out what it was Icecap.”
“I think you must have misheard Sky; I think the screen hooman actually said Thunder and Lightning.” Declared Posh Bear.
“Well, I was close, so what is that then Posh?”
“Well, up high in the air Sky, higher than even the fluffiest white ship that floats on by, there lives lots of us bears that are waiting to be able to come down here, and give love and cuddles to a hooman and try to teach them some basics in intelligence. Well, every so often the food for them is late arriving and they have rumbly tummies and because there are so many of them it is very loud and we can hear it down here. Hoomans call that thunder. Now, to alert the food place that they are hungry and have rumbly tummies the bears switch the lights on and off and that causes flashes of light down here. Hoomans call that lightning. It is nothing to worry about Sky for the flashing lights always works and the bears get their food and then the rumbling stops.”
“Gosh! You are so clever Posh, you know everything.” Said Bertie clearly impressed.
“I know.” Said Posh smiling.
“Posh, how come you are so clever and yet don’t stand downside up like me?” Asked Sky.
“I don’t think it is necessary Sky, I should get back on your feet again.”
“Oh, I thought that because of what hoomans call gravy, everything travelled downwards and this was my plan to have all my intelligence where it needs to be.”
“No Sky, you have that wrong, hoomans don’t call it gravy, they call it gritty...I think.” Chipped in Icecap.
“Actually, it is called gravity and you don’t need to worry about that yet Sky. I have a good idea, let us see how much honey we have and break open a jar or two.” Said Posh Bear.
“Sounds like a plan, I’ll just nip to the freezer thingy and get some fish.” Said Icecap before realising that Sky and Bertie were no longer there.
“They never were that big on fish.” Mumbled Icecap shaking his head sadly.

After doing some serious research on the id of this bird, I came to no conclusion.
In early spring, at the same area, I saw two of them but never had time to take a shot. Because they flew almost right away, I thought they were Nashville Warblers. To my big surprise this week, I have seen them again. So that told me it was not a Nashville Warbler. It looks like a female Redstart to me but the yellow is very bright and all over the front which is not a female Redstart pattern. Also there is no pattern at all on the wings. I assume this is an adult as I have seen them in the spring. I have several shots but you can see the white and dark coloured pattern under the tail and some white patches on top of the tail..... I checked so many birds and still have no clue what it is. I would really appreciate your comments on that one. What do you think it is?
Asking the question... what if this had really happened in our history on a mass scale?

Beneath a sky fractured by shifting clouds, Lofoten’s peaks rise in jagged defiance, their edges etched against the dimming light like the script of an ancient, undeciphered language. Golden beams, sharp and fleeting, lance through the mist, not to illuminate but to sculpt—carving lines of impermanence into the rugged stone, as if the universe were writing an ode to its own imperfection.
The mountains do not stand; they loom, timeless yet restless, their forms whispering of upheaval and stillness in the same breath. Mist coils through the valleys, not as concealment, but as something alive, something uncertain—an interlude between revelation and obscurity. The scene feels less like a landscape and more like a question suspended in the air, unanswered and unanswerable, vibrating with quiet intensity.
This is no harmony, no serene moment of balance; it is a collision—a struggle between light and shadow, permanence and decay. The peaks are not guardians or monuments; they are the earth’s raw truth laid bare, fractured, unyielding, yet strangely vulnerable beneath the weight of the sky’s indifferent gaze. The light does not caress them—it strikes, refracts, vanishes, leaving no promise of return.
In this tableau, the boundaries of self dissolve. To behold it is to teeter on the edge of comprehension, caught between the transient and the eternal. The mountains seem less a part of the earth and more a rupture in it, a place where the world has torn itself open to reveal something both terrifying and profound: a reminder that existence is neither fixed nor fleeting but an ongoing act of becoming, always at the mercy of forces beyond understanding.

A Yin/Yang Perception of Opposites
Tao Te Ching -:- Verse 2
====================================
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
====================================
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.
In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

By measuring starlight - specifically, the color and brightness - astronomers have determined that our Milky Way has about 100 billion stars in its system. Using the Milky Way as a model, astronomers have multiplied the number of stars in a typical galaxy (100 billion) by the number of galaxies in the known universe (2 trillion). The result is an absolutely astounding number of approximately 200 billion trillion stars in our known universe. Given that the earth’s star (the sun) has eight planets revolving around it, one of which has humans on it. Is it reasonable to believe that human beings here on the planet earth are the only beings in existence?

No, I'm not dead, just had to move.
Wanted to do more to the top of this gun but just couldn't come up with anything.
My latest image from the backyard is the 'Cosmic Question Mark Nebula' in the constellation Cepheus.
This target includes a large, bright emission nebula (NGC 7822), with a nebulous 'point' at the bottom (Sharpless 170).
If you're in the northern hemisphere, Cepheus is full of photographic nebulae, including this monster.
I used an ultra-portable telescope setup for this one, a wide-field refractor and a one-shot-color astronomy camera.
