I bought some sweet peas a few days ago , shelled them and put them into some clear gelatin, one layer at a time since they float.
The only interesting thing about this shot is the gelatin envelope around the pellet. Maybe I need to make another batch of just gelatin.
Cheers.

An officer works the computer in the Medford Police speed enforcement van along I-5 late at night. It's part of an ODOT/MPD work zone enforcement effort to slow drivers through the I-5 Medford Viaduct work zone. Highest speed recorded is 91 MPH in the 40 MPH work zone.

"I like that one."
"That one? With the rust?"
"It'll clean up."
"And the mismatched engines, and the missing panels across most all of the thing?"
"Pretty sure the engines are a pair, just... yeah, it'll need some work. But you're looking at what it is, not what it could be."
"What I'm looking at is a deathtrap."
"Glass is always half empty with you, huh?"
"This glass is shattered and in pieces, lad. In fact, you'll note the lack of a cockpit canopy at all, glass or otherwise."
"Look, you've got to start somewhere. And why not here?"
"Hey, it's your decision in the end. Your credits. I just don't want it to be your firey death."
"You're all heart, old-timer. I think we can make it work."
"You think I can make it work. Still, I said I'd be your mechanic, so I guess I'd better prove I've still got the touch when it comes to racers."
"And I'll show you I can pilot them."
So this was a pretty quick build, it may well be that some kind of racing speeders will form the next display I do. I wanted to try a narrative of sorts with this, starting from a junkyard scrapper, and gradually improving and refining until we get something sleek and advanced.
In terms of the build itself I've tried to go as greebly as I can for exposed engine bits, and fresh off my ADU builds I've put those spoiler parts back to work as intakes. Nothing hugely complicated here, but I'm satisfied with the skeletal appearance and think that it came out alright. Plenty of room to iterate on this.
I was trying to keep it as small as possible, it's about 18ish studs wide and long, so hopefully I'll be able to fit builds of that/similar size into this year's SHIP, which I'm envisioning as something of a mobile home/workshop/garage such as one might find on a Star Wars-inspired racing circuit series.
(I think I just want to build something that looks like a LMH/LMdH prototype racer but in space. Honestly, the Ferrari 499P already looks like a spaceship that just happens to have wheels!)
Well, look at that! Another sunny winter day in Kirkland. I couldn't resist taking a mid-afternoon stroll around the building. It was just too nice to pass up fresh air and a little bit of warmth from the sun.

A Brown Pelican at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina. I took so many pelican shots this past week that I may create a whole new set just to hold them! My new favorite bird :-D
Just got back from work and will catch up tonight or tomorrow.... ten hour days are kicking my butt after a week of vacation!
wow what a lucky find! someone parked the most beautiful bike (my favorite) here for all to see. snuck a couple of shots while the rider wasn't looking.

I will visit everybody's photo stream that leaves a comment :)
I don't like to fly. Before Monday, it was more than eight years since I had flown. It took a lot of energy and willpower to keep that plane in the air, but I did it. And flying has changed since I last took to the air. These newfangled TVs and mapquest on board. Amazing stuff. Knowing exactly where we were and how fast we were going was somewhere between excrutiating (at the start it was going way too slow) and comforting (checking in on the altitude every once in a while is a nice touch for the fearful flyer).
Radici Emergenti literally translates as emerging roots. It may be that the road does indeed have emerging roots, seeing as it's tree-lined, though the idea of roots emerging from the road is still a little spooky. But notice there is also a black and yellow speed hump, so could it be a more picturesque notice than the more often seen Dossi Artificiali, which literally translates as artificial humps, whereas the humps aren't artificial really, they're real humps! In any case I think I like this one better.

Just a nice walk thru the tunnel to find some food!
with this type of lighting...all we needed was a disco ball and we could have a dance party inside...what do you think??
Hooray!!! I think I have finally found out how to make time lapse movies with sound, compatible with flickr, in the new imovie... or I could have just got lucky again. I have another time lapse that I deleted because I couldn't get the sound to work. I'll use that to test out my new method. Fingers crossed!
141 long exposure photos (I think the shutter speed was around 20 seconds) I used a cut up margarine container for a tripod because I was planning to get a time lapse of a
tree and the stars, I wanted to get a low angle looking up at the tree and the sky (my tri-pod doesn't go low enough, I could probably beat it at limbo) but it was too cloudy so I just got a few shots and decided to go home. Then I saw the ferry coming in on the way back and decided to get a time lapse of that. I had the margarine container on some rocks lightly covered in ice and snow. I tried to get a good angle but I couldn't fit both shores in the shot. Instead of moving further away I decided to focus on the spot where it docks on my side of the lake. I fiddled and fiddled with the dodgy set up but it ended up where it wanted to be, I didn't have a lot of say in the matter. So the frame is somewhere in the middle of the ferry's path. The ferry goes to a small island "Amerst Island" and back to the main land Millhaven Ontario every hour. I would guess it takes about 15 - 20 min to cross the small span of Lake Ontario, it waits 10 - 15 min to unload and load and crosses once again. I plan to do another one from more of a head on view so I can get all the loading and unloading action. The music is Nine Inch Nails, song 5 from the album Ghosts.
I'm up early every second sunday to photograph kid cycling teams one of which my daughter Paloma (i-cupie www.flickr.com/photos/71051168@N00/ ) is in. I practice my camera work on them at 7 Am and because its winter it is still dark. I love doing it as it takes me back to the time my son played Ice Hockey and we travelled to his games. Just to the other side of the road is I shot this an hour later on this slightly dull morning. But I love it as it is so Auckland beach www.flickr.com/photos/servilles/207912754/
I feel that some of my work is a little dull conceptully but this is mostly because Im so caught up in practicing technique. I love color as you can see but would love too do some properly set up shots with models and stylists and hair people with costumes etc. Something more bold with people that define humanty but do it with style.
