Ten years ago I had been supervising a research project on peace and reconciliation in these areas. It included a lot of correspondence. One week of this exchange of messages is documented here. I put the correspondence in a bucket of water, later compacted and then dried it. The research had ticked all the right boxes, but was ignored by the events unfolding on the ground. You will be aware of that. But I will not let this research go without a shout. I am giving it a kind of new lease of life as a piece of art. Art can be ignored as well, but its staying power is a lot longer than that of academic work. Leica M Mono, Voigtlander AS 2.8/90.
The Colosseum, Rome
Well there can’t be many more iconic and instantly recognisable structures in the world than the Colosseum in Rome.
Given how iconic it is there was no way I was not going to shoot it. Now one of my locations was covered by Daniel Burton recently www.flickr.com/photos/92169786@N06/54403371597/in/datepos... I did go there before this shot but I’ll save my take on it for another time. Having seen one or two compositions on Flickr I decided to do some research online before going to Rome to see if any other compositions presented themselves. Now, for me, this was pretty hard going as the vast majority of what I could see was all geared towards the ‘Insta-selfie’ crowd (thanks to Dom Haughton for that term). To me, anything on the Instaselfie hit-list is like a ‘No Entry’ sign. All full of people posing with mega-crowds of tourists in the background also taking selfies and eating gelatos. However, at the point I did come across a few locations that I felt had potential. Unfortunately some were not feasible due to a multitude of maintenance works going on but I got lucky here. It was just a case of waiting as I had a strong feeling the early sun might catch one side of the Colosseum. I had to be a little patient as it took a few mins for the sunlight to strike the top of the stone. Luckily it still had that soft orange tone but as the sun rose and the light travelled down the structure it soon lost that colour. I think this shot is a fair compromise between colour and amount of the Colosseum hatched in light.
According to Wikipedia the Colosseum is not only the largest standing amphitheatre in the world but also the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built. Construction began under the Emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (AD 81-96).
The Colosseum is built of travertine limestone, volcanic rock, and brick-faced concrete. It could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators at various points in its history, having an average audience of some 65,000. As is well known, it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles including animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, dramas based on Roman mythology, and briefly mock sea battles! It ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although substantially ruined by earthquakes and stone robbers, the Colosseum is still a renowned symbol of Imperial Rome and was listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_7_Wonders_of_the_World

107-year-old locomotive used from 1917 through the 1950s to transport coal from the mine to the harbor, Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, Norway with Amundsen-Ellsworth-Airship tower in background.
The front half of this thing has been sitting around since sometime last summer and I've used quarantine to finish it off. I think the overall quality drops off the farther back on the ship you go, but overall I'm very happy with it!

Having wasted most of my day on Flickr-y things like slimming down my sets, adding new sets ready for the new year, and other general housekeeping, I decided I needed to keep Ginger company, and ended up sitting on the sofa researching whisky (in the glass) and double decker buses (on the Internet) while Ginger researched wedding dresses, whisky and took her own picture for the day.
The peace was only broken when I exclaimed "Well bugger me!" upon realising I'd accidentally managed to bag a FUTAB as well. For some reason Ginger found this statement amusing.

Here’s my rendition of the Hammerhead W14 design by Devid VII
flic.kr/p/2hCDLai
I built mine more around scientific sample retrieval, and things like that. I really enjoyed working with this frame, might experiment with it some more in the future!
The minifigure was somewhat inspired by the guys seen in the gameplay trailer for Death Stranding. Really looking forward to when I can play that game, not sure when that’ll be though
Finished all my finals yesterday, so a new trimester starts next week. not sure if it will free up time to post or make it harder, but hopefully you guys will be seeing more of me.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Concordia research station in Antarctica is a place of extremes. In winter no sunlight is seen for four months and the typical crew of twelve live in complete isolation.
ESA sponsors a research medical doctor each year to study the effects of living in isolation. The extreme cold, isolation, sensory deprivation and remoteness make living in Concordia similar to living on another planet.
Share your summer pictures with the crew who have not seen the Sun since 4 May: blogs.esa.int/concordia/2015/06/24/midsummer-greetings/

Looking for a room in this idea
for a photo shoot in Brussels, someone got an idea?
Thank you very much.
Built in 1933-1935.
Camera: Ežys sim card box (Altoids equivalent)
Paper: Kodak Polymax RC, 6x9.5 cm
Exposure: about 3 min, sunset
Developer: D-76 1:1
Scanner: CanoScan 9950f
5987: Dino Research Compound
Not much has really changed with this design. The only thing that has had any major changes is the dual cockpit plane.
I never liked how bare and exposed to the elements the original set version of the research compound was. The 2019 version I made gave more of a secure and lived in design. My personal theory that the actual structure existed some time before Johnny Thunder came to the island.
The plane I changed in comparison to my original design. There aren't any nets on mecabricks, but I've put a small stun-claw in the middle section along with some sleeping gas bombs on the wings.
This image was taken in the harbour in Funchal Maderia at about 6.15am, just before the sun came up.

Vari deep in his research to discover why 'Deez Beetches Is Cray'. Needless to say, he has his work cut out for him hah
FALKOR (IMO: 7928677) is a Research/Survey Vessel that was built in 1981 (40 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Cayman Is.
It’s carrying capacity is 555 t DWT and her current draught is reported to be 5.5 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 82.9 meters and her width is 13.02 meters. RV Falkor is an oceanographic research vessel operated by the Schmidt Ocean Institute.
I really wanted this build to feel very alien. The dark orange ground with the strange alien creatures slowly infecting the land and everything around it. The vibrant green river flowing between the legs of the elevated research station, and some strange yet familiar looking plant life.
The base of this build is 2m x 1.2m and the tower sits at about 1.3m high. This is definitely the tallest build I have ever done and definitely one of my largest. So big that i couldn’t fit it all infringe of my backdrop… luckily I was talking to a fellow exhibitor called Jacqui that offered to help with photoshopping the background to white. I think she did an amazing job with it and I truly appreciate the help, the build simply wouldn’t of looked as nice.
I really enjoyed figuring out the best ways to make all the curves and experimenting with different ways to get the toxic green of the river.
I really wanted to experiment with some lighting and a couple motorised features for this build. I wanted to limit myself to official lego products mainly because I am a lego purist and I really enjoy the challenge that the official lego electronics provide. I used one M motor for the mechanism for the black alien creatures in the ground to make them look like they were breathing, 10 lego power functions LEDs, 1 classic lego LED unit for the flashing lights on the cargo ship and 7 lego power functions extension cables. All of this powered by 1 power functions battery unit. I had a lot of fun trying to hide all these components and yet still be easy to access like the hidden button for the power and a hidden drawer for easy access to the batteries.
EPA flies drones above the smoke to gather the particles that are in the air & they take a bunch of photos (would like to see some of their photos). I think the drones also take photos.
Ten less-than-inspiring images posted late tonight, all taken in the morning of 14 May 2018, Day 8 of our two-week holiday in Ontario and Quebec. Hopefully, I might be able to get a few more photos edited and uploaded in the next few days, especially if the weather forecast actually turns out to be accurate - i.e. snow for the next three days. It has been about eight months since friends and I returned from this amazing holiday, so I have forgotten all the French names of the various places we drove to during our week in Quebec, I will try and research some of them tomorrow.
Too tired to do anything further tonight after a day that didn't turn out how I had expected. After seeing the forecast for snow, I thought I had better make another drive east of the city. I had been hoping to see a Short-eared Owl, but there was no sign of it. Next plan was to drive some of the back roads in search of a Snowy Owl or two. However, once again, I left Calgary in sunshine and found myself driving in fog, just like another recent day. Today was not such dense fog, but everywhere was heavily overcast. I had only driven two gravel back roads and was just doing a U-turn when my car started making a dreadful noise - a rather metallic scraping sound. No warning lights came on on my dashboard, which was promising, but that loud noise persisted the whole drive back to the city from east of Langdon. I drove straight to the dealership and they were able to take a look at it this afternoon. When it was taken for a test drive, it made no noise, apparently - of course! Most likely, a rock or piece of gravel had got into the brakes and it became dislodged when the mechanic drove it. My car is in good condition, I was told, but I definitely thought I was going to be stuck out east earlier today, ha.
More info on Day 8 will be added tomorrow.
I'm working w/ the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) over the next year to help document and share their amazing stories of cutting-edge cancer research and treatment. I'm going to be photographing events, building a photo archives, creating patient and; doctor stories and other creative storytelling projects that arise. This weekend I attended the Swim Across America and The Pink Boat Regatta. I'll be back down next month to photograph the #PurpleStride marathon and a bunch of other cool community initiatives.
(If you'd like to use any of these photos for ANYTHING pls contact Kris Krüg first kk@kriskrug.com 778. 898. 3076)
