My work is based on surfaces and weathering.
I have kept some photographs in colours they already contain bold colours which create a good overall images however i have put some others in black and white. I did this to show a strong contrast between the dark and light colours.
The majority of my photos were taken on the macro setting as they were close up and i was trying to photograph small detail.
I specifically arranged my images so that the composition is not too basic. For example I would take the photos so that the main subject is slightly off centred.
The viewpoints were taken at the same level as the subject so that all clarity was captured and the angle was straight on.
i used natural lighting to take these photos however i think that they would have been more successful if i used a studio light.
They have not been manipulated but i did touch them up using aperture. I adjusted the brightness and black point.
i think that my primary sources are successful as I managed to capture the detail of surfaces and weathering that i wanted.

Artwork description
Source is installed at the main entrance to downtown Montréal, in a landscaped terrace at the intersection of Boulevard Robert-Bourassa and Rue Wellington. The stainless-steel sculpture consists of a random intertwining of letters taken from Latin, Greek, Chinese, Arab, Cyrillic, Hindi, Hebrew, and Japanese alphabets, combined to form a monumental figure in a sitting position. The work is an allegory for humanity: like cells are assembled to form the human body, the letters form words, and people form a community. Source represents the wealth of cultures that Montréal has welcomed during its almost four centuries of existence. A symbol of the city’s past, present, and future, Source, seen in the light of day or under its night-time lighting, invites residents to walk, dream, and meet.
By creating Source for the 375th anniversary of the foundation of Montréal, the artist wanted to take into account the importance of water in the city’s history – for trade, immigration, and communications – but also the importance of the place of Indigenous peoples. Source, a word that is identical in French and English, refers to the birthplace of a watercourse, but also represents the roots of a city’s energy and vitality: its inhabitants and their origins, the fluidity and creativity of ideas, and the cycles of movement and renewal.
Source was created within the context of the redevelopment project for the south threshold of the Bonaventure expressway, constituting a legacy for the 375th anniversary of the foundation of Montréal. The integration of Source into the Bonaventure legacy was made possible through an exceptional contribution by the Chrétien-Desmarais family.

The publication SOURCE is a collection of interviews of people and groups who are actively challenging the political status-quo regarding the status of marginalized people and other difficult political issues, and who have visions of proactive tactics on how to address them.
The second issue of SOURCE that was published in US in November 2018 focused on topic of migration. Migration though was understood in more symbolic way as a process of transition, which is fundamental to so much of contemporary life. People migrate between identities, countries, languages, economic realities, genders, political beliefs, contexts.

"In real open source you have the right to control your own destiny" - Linus Torvalds
Open Source Day Conference is one of the greatest international events devoted to open software in this part of Europe. This indicates the dynamics of interest in open technology.
Open source solutions have been gaining respect worldwide for many years, as a blend of quality, safety as well as competitive price. And so have they been gaining market in Poland, with our local companies becoming regional leaders.
Times, when open software was treated as worse but cheaper version of proprietary programs have long gone. Now the clients reach for open solutions not only for the costs factor but primarily due to better parameters, meaning more flexibility, efficiency, innovation, security – and what is more – lack of vendor lock in.
Large companies and institutions also from Poland keep migrating to open code based commercial solutions. Major banks, insurance, most of telcom businesses and growing number of public sector organizations. Representatives of these environments have met regularly for seven years on Open Source Day conference, in order to exchange their views and experience, establish strategic relationships and be up to date with the latest trends in open source solutions.

La Digue est une petite île très calme de l'archipel des Seychelles. Accessible par bateau depuis Praslin (30min) ou Mahé (1h en ferry rapide, 3h en bateau), La Digue reste préservée et on n'y rencontre que quelques rares voitures. Le moyen de transport le plus répandu est la bicyclette. Réputée pour ses plages paradisiaques et ses impressionnants rochers de granit, La Digue est un havre de paix luxuriant.

Mohamed Saleh To all friends and colleagues, those who do not know yet the present case of the mask of Tut-ankh-amun , I would like to tell all of them that the false beard which was badly fixed in the restoration, was safely removed last week. It was thank god done by a German -Egyptian team headed by Christian Eckmann. The false beard might have been fixed in recent times by soldering to the chin of the mask. It was long anticipated that it was fixed to the chin by two slots which received the tenons. I was surprised to find the mask's chin without slots. The work is going now to remove the rests of the glue materials and study the wonderful workmanship of modelling the mask by two layers of gold and some other scientific research. I must congratulate the team and the good opportunity of having a good chance to make this study

На прошлой неделе ритуальная бородка, неверно приклеенная к подбородку погребальной маски Тутанхамона с помощью эпоксидного клея, была благополучно отделена. Работа ведется германско-египетской командой под руководством Кристиана Экманна. «В настоящее время идет постепенное удаление остатков клея и дальнейшее изучение маски, которая, как выяснилось, выкована из двух слоев золота», – сообщил генеральный руководитель проекта Великого музея в Гизе и бывший директор Египетского музея на площади Тахрир д-р Мохамед Салех.

Daily Shoot: Turn the tables and make a photograph of a light source today. Light bulb, window, or even the sun (be careful!).
Our garden lights are switched on automatically with a sensor telling them when it's dark enough. Normally just after sunset when the sky still looks beautifully blue.

This wasn't built as a cinema as is claimed.
It was built as the "Palace of Light" for the showman C. B. Cochran, and opened 4 July 1908.
It originally had 1,000 light bulbs on the exterior.
Cochran was well-known at the time, and presented all kinds of live performances, usually called "Cochran Revues".
However, he didn't present films.
It was renamed the Gem in 1910, which is when it probably became a cinema.
Incidentally, there are hardly any purpose-built cinemas with original frontages dating from before 1911.
The front of the Picture House in Birmingham survives.
The Electric in Portobello Road, the Bedford (Edit: since demolished) and the Kensington, both in Liverpool survive. All 3 opened in December 1910.
There might (arguably) be one or two more from 1910 (eg: Duke of York's, Brighton, which incorporates part of a brewery building), but it has to be admitted that original cinema facades (pre 1911) are now an endangered species.

Memphis is a city along the Mississippi River in southwestern Shelby County, Tennessee, United States. The 2019 population was 651,073, making Memphis the largest city on the Mississippi River, the second most populous in Tennessee, as well as the 26th largest city in the United States. Greater Memphis is the 42nd largest metropolitan area in the United States, with a population of 1,348,260 in 2017. The city is the anchor of West Tennessee and the greater Mid-South region, which includes portions of neighboring Arkansas, Mississippi, and the Missouri Bootheel. Memphis is the seat of Shelby County, Tennessee's most populous county. One of the more historic and culturally significant cities of the southern United States, Memphis has a wide variety of landscapes and distinct neighborhoods.
The first European explorer to visit the area of present-day Memphis was Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto in 1541 with his expedition into the New World. The high Chickasaw Bluffs protecting the location from the waters of the Mississippi was then contested by the Spanish, French, and the English as Memphis took shape. Modern Memphis was founded in 1819 by three prominent Americans: John Overton, James Winchester, and future president Andrew Jackson.
Memphis grew into one of the largest cities of the Antebellum South as a market for agricultural goods, natural resources like lumber, and the American slave trade. After the American Civil War and the end of slavery, the city experienced even faster growth into the 20th century as it became among the largest world markets for cotton and lumber.
Home to Tennessee's largest African-American population, Memphis played a prominent role in the American civil rights movement and was the site of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 1968 assassination. The city now hosts the National Civil Rights Museum—a Smithsonian affiliate institution. Since the civil rights era, Memphis has become one of the nation's leading commercial centers in transportation and logistics. Its largest employer is the multinational courier corporation FedEx, which maintains its global air hub at Memphis International Airport, making it the second-busiest cargo airport in the world. In addition to being a global air cargo leader, the International Port of Memphis also hosts the 5th busiest inland water port in the U.S., with access to the Mississippi River allowing shipments to arrive from around the world for conversion to train and trucking transport throughout the United States, making Memphis a multi-modal hub for trading goods for imports and exports despite its inland location.
Memphis is a regional center for commerce, education, media, art, and entertainment. It has long had a prominent music scene, with historic blues clubs on Beale Street originating the unique Memphis blues sound in the early 20th century. The city's music has continued to be shaped by a multicultural mix of influences: the blues, country, rock n' roll, soul, and hip-hop. Memphis barbecue has achieved international prominence, and the city hosts the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, which attracts over 100,000 visitors to the city annually.

The National Civil Rights Museum is a complex of museums and historic buildings in Memphis, Tennessee; its exhibits trace the history of the civil rights movement in the United States from the 17th century to the present. The museum is built around the former Lorraine Motel, which was the site of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968; King died at St. Joseph's Hospital. Two other buildings and their adjacent property, also connected with the King assassination, have been acquired as part of the museum complex.
The museum reopened in 2014 after renovations that increased the number of multi-media and interactive exhibits, including numerous short movies to enhance features. The museum is owned and operated by the Lorraine Civil Rights Museum Foundation, based in Memphis. The Lorraine Motel is owned by the Tennessee State Museum and leased long term to the Foundation to operate as part of the museum complex. In 2016, the museum was honored by becoming a Smithsonian Affiliate museum.

Talakaveri (Kannada: ತಲಕಾವೇರಿ), is the place that is generally considered to be the source of the Kaveri River. It is located in the Brahmagiri hill (not to be confused with the Brahmagiri range further South) near Bhagamandala in Kodagu district, Karnataka, 1,276 m. above sea level. However, there is not a permanent visible flow from this place to the main rivercourse except during the rainy season.
A tank or kundike has been erected on a hillside, at the place that is said to be the origin. It is also marked by a small temple, and the area is frequented by pilgrims. The Kaveri River originates as a spring feeding this tank, which is considered to be a holy place to bathe on special days. The waters are then said to flow underground to emerge as the river some distance away. The temple has been renovated extensively by the state government recently[2007].
Talakaveri is about 8 km away from Bhagamandala and 48 km from Madikeri.

Dans la Vallée de la Loire, les sources sont nombreuses et parfois, on en trouve même dans les cavités des coteaux de Tuffeaux qui sillonnent le long du fleuve. Celle çi s'écoule sur près de 1Km avant de se jetter dans un bras de la Vienne, affluent de la Loire.
