Sorry I have been really busy.. I will try and catch up when I can. Thank you all very much for your wonderful comments.
I meet up with a wonderful flickr and we had a wonderful time getting blown and rained on while looking around the city. It was great to meet up with her. Pity the weather wasn't kinder!
September 19, 2015 Christchurch, New Zealand.
It got so wet and cold we spent some time looking around the inside of the Heritage Hotel.
A Write up About the Heritage Hotel.
Christchurch is a long way from the Mediterranean – nevertheless, the opulence of an Italian High Renaissance Palazzo awaits you at the Heritage Christchurch. Designed by Joseph Clark Maddison and opened in 1913, the hotel is listed as a category one building on the Historic Places Trust Register, reflecting its status as a building of national significance. The hotel’s grand design is fitting: after all, Christchurch is regarded as the Garden City, and is regarded internationally for its culture and refinement.

Jatta di Ruvo - Fourth Room
Phiale Apula (36125 = 1613)
Attributed to the Patera Painter, about 330-320 BC.
Piece of particular formal refinement among the products of the late Apulian pottery, which is often rather coarse and repetitive.
Inside, the female figure carried in flight by two erotes could be Aphrodite, while the torch and the situla held by winged characters would refer to the sphere of the Dionysian cult.
Outside, two female figures, an androgynous Eros and a Pan.
Ruvo, Museo Jatta

After Anna painted black things on my face for a photo I looked in the mirror while washing it off and somehow I liked the way it ran down my cheeks.

El actual Museo de la Kasbah, el antiguo Dar el-Makhzen (Casa de Gobernación), conserva entre sus muros decenas de momentos de refinamiento y belleza, pero también de cantos a quienes construyeron el más valioso monumento público de Tánger con sus propias manos.

The current Kasbah Museum, the old Dar el-Makhzen (House of Government), preserves within its walls dozens of moments of refinement and beauty, but also of songs to those who built the most valuable public monument of Tangier with their own hands. Located in the Kasbah, the fortified citadel of the medina, the palace of the sultan keeps secrets sheltered from the most haunted tourist guides.

Commentary.
The sun catches the rocky headlands guarding the entrance to the awesome sea-loch, Loch Nevis.
I was trundling my way across the Sound of Sleat on my journey from the mainland at Mallaig, to Armadale
on the Sleat Peninsula, part of the wondrous Isle of Skye.
Nevis twists north, then south and finally east, where it narrows to under a quarter of a mile wide, from a maximum of four miles, at its mouth.
It is not absurd to suggest that this terrain represents one of the wildest, most remote and isolated in Caledonia and the United Kingdom.
To the left (north) is Knoydart, the “Rough Bounds.”
To the right (south) is North Morar.
Both are only accessible by foot or boat.
There are no metalled roads within an area exceeding a hundred square miles.
They are truly rugged, remote, untamed and aloof to the influence of humanity.
Starkly untouched, rocky, bare but spartanly pristine, unspoiled, natural wildernesses.
Their raw, unsophisticated beauty rakes at your psyche, your soul, your spirit.
But in this “other world” you find your real self because refinement and urbanity has been stripped away in the face of precipitous rock and Sgurr na Ciche.
This pyramidal peak, just left of centre is a sentinel,
an icon, a landmark for 20-50 miles in all directions, in this land of raw, unbridled beauty.
Even in this shot it lies beyond the far eastern end of Loch Nevis, twenty miles away in this image.
Should you wish to be “far from the madding crowd,” come here, to the mountains, to the eternal thrones of the Gods.
This is God’s Garden. It is a rocky one. Walk with him.
See your real self in the mountain pool, not the work-place window.

Introduction
praise and worship music | Walk in the Love of God | "Attachment to God" (Korean Worship Song)
I
Oh Lord,
I’ve enjoyed so much of Your grace.
Why do I always feel empty inside?
Have I not gained the truth and life?
II
Reading these words can answer your questions.
“Christ of the last days brings life,
and brings the enduring and everlasting way of truth.
This truth is the path through which man shall gain life,
and the only path by which
man shall know God and be approved by God.
If you do not seek the way of life provided by
Christ of the last days,
then you shall never gain the approval of Jesus,
and shall never be qualified to enter the gate of the kingdom of heaven,
for you are both a puppet
and prisoner of history” (The Scroll Opened by the Lamb).
Almighty God, Christ of the last days, has expressed all the truths
to purify, to save mankind,
bringing man the path to eternal life.
By accepting and obeying God’s work, practicing and experiencing His words,
man can understand the truth and gain life.
III
God chose me from a vast ocean of people, miraculously arranging that I come to His side.
His kind words warmed my heart, His earnest calls woke me up from my dream.
That familiar voice, that beautiful countenance have not changed from the very beginning.
In God’s family I taste the sweetness of His love. I lean close to Him and do not want to part again.
Without God, the days were hard to bear.
I staggered along with each step full of pain.
Only with God’s hidden protection did I reach today.
And now with God’s word by me I am satisfied.
IV
With time comes great changes, the world does not stay the same. But nothing will wipe from my heart my attachment to God.
A promise of thousands of years, an unchanging oath. After many cycles of life and death I return to God’s side.
He has sown life in my heart. His words shepherd and water me, giving trials and refinements.
Through persecutions and sufferings, my life grows ever stronger. The rough roads and failures are training grounds for me.
God has never left my side. He silently sacrifices for humanity with never a word of complaint.
I will throw off my corrupt disposition and be purified. Then I can accompany God forever.
God has never left my side. He silently sacrifices for humanity with never a word of complaint.

[Once again I’m writing this for the committed photographer.]
Review: David Ulrich, “Zen Camera: Creative Awakening with a Daily Practice in Photography” (Watson-Guptill, 2018) 217 pages. creativeguide.com/zen-camera/
I do hope that Jim Williams from Canada www.flickr.com/photos/55920888@N08/ doesn’t mind my quoting a recent message from him:
“The way I shoot is very deliberate - almost a Zen exercise.”
I responded that this is exactly the way I like to work too and that indeed photography is my therapy. So I said that I would write a brief review of a book I still find a source of much inspiration.
“Zen Camera employs the camera for its most noble purpose: to learn to see what is.” (p.3)
David Ulrich teaches photography at the Pacific New Media Foundation in Honolulu, Hawai’i. This book is both an inspiration and a practical workbook. Ulrich believes that discipline is required in mastering the craft of photography. The principal discipline in this workbook is to photograph every day. Real progress is only possible he believes by taking 100 to 200 photographs a week following this advice:
“Give yourself the space and luxury of the pure enjoyment of taking pictures for their own sake. Refinement and completion come in their own time. Do not edit. Do not judge. Merely watch with interest what images arise.” (p.17)
Ulrich provides the reader with plenty of his own examples, but the work of many other historic and contemporary photographers is featured as well. He is a Zen Buddhist practitioner by conviction, but everyone can learn from his method. Ulrich has a lovely shot of the Tibetan Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard taken in Hong Kong. Ricard (a former leading French scientist and son of the famous French philosopher Jean-François Revel) also practices photography as a meditative discipline. www.matthieuricard.org/en/photographies
LESSON ONE: OBSERVATION
“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” – Dorothea Lange (1895-1965).
I love that quote. Lange of course gave us some of the most powerful images of The Great Depression. She learned to see things that most other people couldn’t, and that is the essence of great photography. So we must begin by looking.
LESSON TWO: AWARENESS
Mindfulness and heightened awareness of the world around us are the two key elements of this lesson. Training our minds to be like a camera sensor soaking in the light (both real and metaphorical). Once again Ulrich quotes one of my favourite photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004):
“I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us which can mold us, but which can also be affected by us. A balance must be established between these two worlds – the one inside us and the one outside us. As the result of a constant reciprocal process, both these worlds come to form a single one. And it is this world that we must communicate.” - From “The Decisive Moment” – one of the most important books ever published on photography.
LESSON THREE: IDENTITY
“Know thyself.” – Socrates.
Here Ulrich deals with two important elements: Personal style and Authenticity. In order to communicate effectively we must find our own voice. But, it’s one voice within a community of voices (so history and context matters).
LESSON FOUR: PRACTICE
This is the central chapter of the book. All forms of success in art flow from its practice. Ulrich cites Malcolm Gladwell’s research that it takes about 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to gain mastery in a field. Nothing comes easily and one must pay their dues. This is not a popular message in a world of instant gratification. But then, that’s why our photographs are so quickly forgotten.
LESSON FIVE: MASTERY
“Freedom flourishes in a climate of discipline.” – David Ulrich.
It may seem counterintuitive, but true freedom always works within boundaries. The true “master of a discipline” can only push the boundaries once the fundamentals have been established. Two of my examples here: (1) Before ever Picasso became the master of Cubism, he had already mastered classical portraiture, and (2) Jazz musicians can only ever succeed in improvisation when they understand the rudiments of musical form.
LESSON SIX: PRESENCE
This is by far the most challenging chapter philosophically. I won’t go into detail here, but a few summary thoughts. Ulrich contrasts “spectacle” with “presence”. What do we mean by photographs with presence? We see plenty of spectacle in social media; in earlier days these sorts of pictures were referred to as “chocolate box”, but today they are probably over-processed spectacular sunsets with more than a little post-production fakery. They are made photographs to attract attention (something essential for social media success).
But “real presence”, that’s something much more difficult to achieve. It is central for instance to the Christian concept of a sacrament. Here the photograph is a representation of something ineffable behind it. You can’t quite define a photograph with presence, but you know when you see it. Try any number of Ansel Adams’ photographs. A mere landscape is somehow transformed into a meditation on the glories of nature with a minimum of darkroom fuss. The scene is spectacular, but only because the photograph reveals the TRUTH about the scene. We are brought face to face with the essence of Nature. The same with a great portrait: It reveals a truth about the character and personality of the sitter, in a way that a selfie doesn’t.
Annie Leibovitz www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQtXoseZMuo
For David Ulrich one of the keys to achieving “presence” in photography is to learn to pay attention. And this takes us back to mindfulness practice. Being awake, alive, attentive, observant, present!
It’s a great book with plenty of practical suggestions for exercises in moving beyond the snapshot to mastering the discipline of photography.

Still working on refinements for super macro. Macro is 1:1 this is 10:1 or ten times the magnification. Guess I should have dusted off the glass since that is what adds texture if you look at it at 100%
Some hovertank designs I've been messing around with. Heavy inspiration taken from Amrit Arora's refinement of Suspended Animation's Kodiak.

The 1911 Pro from J-Tac Industries is the last word in 1911 refinement; lightened, smoothed and properly balanced, this .45 packs a mean punch in a contemporary package.
Edited in MS Paint - I made one gun with left details, saved the image and flipped it and then went back to PMG, deleted the left details, added the right and then pasted both sides in paint.

The Campbell–Stokes recorder records hours of sunshine. It was invented by John Francis Campbell in 1853 and modified in 1879 by Sir George Gabriel Stokes. The original design by Campbell consisted of a glass sphere set into a wooden bowl with the sun burning a trace on the bowl. Stokes's refinement was to make the housing out of metal and to have a card holder set behind the sphere.This one is at Mulgrave Castle, North York’s.

The Chevrolet Corvair is a compact car manufactured by Chevrolet for model years 1960–1969 in two generations. It is still the only American-designed, mass-produced passenger car with a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. The Corvair's reputation and legacy, as well as those of General Motors, were badly tarnished by a controversy surrounding its handling ability particulary by safety zelot Ralph Nader. Concerns were largely addressed with the arrival of the second of the second generation and its replacement of the first generations swing axle suspension with a new new fully independent suspension featuring coil springs at each wheel.
The second generation saw a major redesign and all new new Fisher Z body, hardtop styling for all models revised front and redesigned fully independent rear suspension, improved heater and air conditioning systems, numerous small engine and chassis refinements.

are a few quotes from Albert Camus, French Philosopher
Date of Birth: November 7, 1913
Date of Death: January 4, 1960
For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.
How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
How hard, how bitter it is to become a man!

"A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?"
~ Ernst Haas
Haddon Hall is an English country house on the River Wye near Bakewell, Derbyshire, a former seat of the Dukes of Rutland. It is the home of Lord Edward Manners (brother of the incumbent Duke) and his family. In form a medieval manor house, it has been described as "the most complete and most interesting house of its period in the country". The origins of the hall are from the 11th century, with additions at various stages between the 13th and the 17th centuries, latterly in the Tudor style.
The Long Gallery was designed by Robert Smythson in the early 16th Century, and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful rooms in England. The gallery is particularly notable for its elegant proportions, magnificent oak panelling, and large mullioned windows that flood the room with natural light, creating an atmosphere of warmth and refinement.
Whoo! Shapeways had a sale a few weeks back and I just had to make a few orders. For some reason I thought it would be easier to 3D model my own Komaus and print them at Shapeways than paint them (I always wish we got more recolors of that mask), and I have plans for four of them already (the pink is for coconut.fanatic, and the yellow was for fun). Also, ordered an extra Arkahna for Onuku (with a properly sized pin) and one of ToaLeewan's Mask Adapters. The red and white are two new designs I'm working on that still need a few refinements, but expect to see them up soon!
UPDATE PORTION:
Things have been quiet for a little while while I wrap up a few projects. I've got some progress on my raffle winners (you guys are going to love it :) ) as well as a few other MOCs. As you can see, a lot of my time has been going to 3D modeling in recent weeks, and it's not just masks this time!
This car has so many straight lines. It really defines Japanese steel pushing the boundaries of the Malaise Era boxy sandbox. How boxy and straight can you go and still exude sleek modernism? This boxy and straight.
The R30 quickly entered legendary status when it was introduced to modern tuning culture, revealing its full potential as a great handling upscale sports coupe with a high level of refinement.
This particular example is an early 80’s (D)R30 RS Turbo, tastefully stanced with fender flares and appropriate footwear. A Shakotan style externally mounted oil cooler suggests a little something unusual is at play below the hood.
On the detailing front, graphic inserts are employed for the smoked headlights and tail lights and a personalized plate rounds out the car’s intentions. The signature greenhouse trim was added using chrome adhesive vinyl. Red vinyl sticker triangles were painstakingly cut, re-cut, cut again and then cut yet again to cover the black areas outside the fender curve on the SC mudguard pieces. It seemed like a great idea when I first thought of it. And then I had to actually do it. In the end, it took a laser cutter to get it right. I love the effect, but I won’t EVER do that again.
I hope you enjoy!
Featured Wheels: Competition Classic in Stealth Anthracite by Lee Schulz
As the sun dips below the horizon, a soft haze settles over Edinburgh’s Georgian New Town. From Gloucester Lane, the elegant rhythm of 18th-century rooftops leads the eye north towards the faint shimmer of the Firth of Forth. Built as an escape from the cramped, unsanitary conditions of the Old Town, this district became a triumph of Enlightenment urban design — a grid of symmetry, light, and refinement that still defines the city’s skyline. Tonight, it glows golden beneath the fading day.
This church erected with financial support from the Board of First Fruits (fl. 1711-1833) representing an integral component of the early nineteenth-century ecclesiastical heritage of north County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, one evoking favourable comparisons with the contemporary Ballycarney Church (Ballycarney) (1834), Ballycarney (see 15701510), confirmed by such attributes as the standardised nave-with-entrance tower plan form, aligned along a liturgically-correct axis; the "pointed" profile of the openings underpinning a contemporary Georgian Gothic theme with the chancel defined by a streamlined "East Window"; and the slender pinnacles embellishing the tower as a picturesque eye-catcher in the landscape. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, including crown or cylinder glazing panels in hornless sash frames: meanwhile, contemporary joinery; and sleek plasterwork refinements, all highlight the artistic potential of a church making a pleasing visual statement in a rural street scene.

Baibai
The practice of offering incense to the Taoist altar is called Baibai. As the incense burns, smoke rises, and ashes fall. The ashes represent impure air that sinks; the smoke, pure air that rises. So the offering represents the separation of pure from impure - the refinement and purification of internal energies. It also symbolizes the human body as being the meeting-place of Heaven and Earth: as the smoke rises, and the ashes fall, we make a connection with both earth and sky.
If you look carefully you will see how full of particulates the coffee is. This brings awesome mouth feel . Some would say it lacks refinement. Well that's just me all over.
Always drink the same volume of water as coffee for your kidneys' sake.
Worth looking at as large as you can
If I was asked which is my favourite work of art to see in Paris it would not be something in one of the larger museums . It would choose a series of six sixteenth century tapestries called the Lady and the Unicorn held in the small intimate Musée national du Moyen Âge on the Left bank of the Seine . I find these works to be astonishing in their refinement and artistry . They are about ten foot square and one could spend a lifetime looking at all the small details . This one is called “À mon seul désir” the other five are named after the senses . It is I think zooming in to look at the details every type of flower is carefully woven and individualised
A note on the photo taken in a very dark room with high ISO 5000 and it was hand held There may be a little noise but on the whole I think its come out pretty well. I will post at least one more shot of the six tapestries at a later date
A bit more information
The Lady and the Unicorn is the modern title given to a series of six tapestries woven in Flanders from wool and silk, around 1500 CE The set, on display in the Musée national du Moyen Âge (former Musée de Cluny) in Paris, is often considered one of the greatest works of art of the Middle Ages in Europe.
Five of the tapestries are commonly interpreted as depicting the five senses – taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch. The sixth displays the words "À mon seul désir". The tapestry's meaning is obscure, but has been interpreted as representing love or understanding. Each of the six tapestries depicts a noble lady with the unicorn on her left and a lion on her right; some include a monkey in the scene. The pennants, as well as the armour of the Unicorn and Lion in the tapestry bear the arms of the sponsor, Jean Le Viste, a powerful nobleman in the court of King Charles VII. The tapestries are created in the style of mille-fleurs (meaning: "thousand flowers”).
The tapestries were rediscovered in 1841 and brought to Paris for restoration
