Hello week-end, une autre journée calme ce samedi. Pas vraiment d'idée pour cette photo mais je garde la motivation pour continuer ce 365... je le veux. Ne pas oublier : ceci est à moi, mon projet pour moi et ma relation avec la photographie. J'aime ça et j'ai besoin de savoir si c'est vraiment ce que je veux.
Bonne journée, bon week-end.

I always thought life would be easier if I cloned my self, but, as it turns out, my clones are just annoying ;)
------------------------------------------------------------
This was my first serious attempt at cloning. I must say, lighting is a pain in the ass, but it was fun. ..hope you like.
Free view TV from C More for a while so I binge-watched all three seasons of Mr. Mercedes in no time at all.
These were some of the photos that I took after I bought my first Digital Camera a Canon EOS REBEL I took these photos in an Industrial Park in Green Cove Springs Florida. At the time the CSX Railroad had just purchased several Shoving Platforms (aka Remote Control Caboose Replacement).
The units were used to control switching Locomotives on Local Trains (especially during back-up moves) where a crew member could at the control panel on the (Flat Car) and control the Locomotive remotely by Radio; you can see the Antenna along with Horns and Flashing Lights at the Top of the Control Console in Photo #2 of 4. Of course today most railroads use a Fanny Pack Control Console that a Switchman wears at his beltline to control the Remote Control Locomotives especially within Rail Yards. I believe these Shoving Platforms were assembled by a Railcar Repair Facility within this Industrial Park because there were several units that were not yet full assembled at the time I Photographed them.
My building's laundry room has been closed for nearly a month, as they got new machines, waited for the card reader to be installed, repainted the floor, etc. Tonight they reopened it, complete with company rep to show us how to use the machines and give us a card loaded with $5.
But the best part? If you wanted to bring your laundry RIGHT THEN, the rep'd pay for it. So I did two ginormous loads--all my sheets, all my towels, a backlog of clothing that I'd not prioritized for *months*. There were socks in there. I don't know the last time I wore a pair of socks!
A while back, Jason and I were having one of those discussions of our favorites--favorite fruit (me: raspberries; him: strawberries); favorite meat (me: lamb; him: chicken); etc. Favorite flower came up. He remembered!
For Valentine's Day I got a surprise delivery of a pot of daffodils. I can't wait for them to bloom!
In a large white canvas tent before the runway, a man sat, focused on his model jet. With a long screw, he prodded one part and poked another.
I was intrigued.
His name was Jim, a model jet pilot from Durham, North Carolina, who was participating in the annual Jets over Kentucky. The week-long event near my home bills itself as "the World's largest remote control jet show." The world's largest anything is pretty rare in this rural part of Kentucky where I live. So naturally, I was out with my camera.
Jim said that he had come to previous Jets over Kentucky every at our county airport. It is a small rural airport that every year devotes itself for a week to these lilliputian planes, their pilots, their large recreation vehicles and visitors.
As I took photos, I asked Jim questions about his remote controlled jet. He said he could fly his Thunderbird model from his controller "as far as the eye could see it."
These were big model planes so the eye, at least my eyes, can see it pretty far.
It was very bright outside but dark in the shaded part of the tent where we were.
Jim was sitting down, working and prodding on an electronic box. I had seen him standing next to his plane when I originally walked over so I asked him if he could again stand up by his plane to work on it.
He did.
We talked about his Thunderbird model jet . It's an amazing machine. I asked him to look over.
Click.
Jim, thank you for your help.

This is my twelfth public portrait that I have posted as part of the 100 Strangers photo project challenge. Find out more about the challenge to take photos of unfamiliars by going to the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page.
All you people in TV land,
I will wake up your empty shells,
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
As I burn into your memory cells

This macro rail is a variation of a rail designed by Domjan Svilkovic.
The PCB is still not housed properly yet. It will be encased in a casing of it's own and will be connected to the rail and camera via phono jacks.
It cost around £25 in the end, an old dvd player and a bit of time.
It's a scorcher out there today! We're beating the heat by cooking up a rack of chinese spareribs in the slow cooker, drinking lemonade from scratch, and mostly staying in air conditioning. We took a short walk in the 'hood to play with some TTV.
