What can I say about Burning Life that hasn't been said by 100's of other bloggers, photographers and networkers. SL was born in San Francisco, California... and so was the original Burning Man event.
In SL we have opportunities to build and create things that can not be done in real life. On this week long event, SL has given the opportunity to several builders to show-off their stuff.
The big news at the event is that HCI or Organica probably has the biggest presence at this event. They are everywhere!

shooting data :
Panasonic DMC-LX1
lens : 28-112 mm ( 16:9 ) : 28 mm
program auto exposure : - 1.33 EV
manual focussing : 3-6 feet zone setting, 6-15 feet zone setting
shooting mode : continuously
ISO : 80
date : Wed. 23 Aug. 2006
place : the upper deck of my junction station, JR Higashi-Kanagawa station south-east area, Yokohama canal, on the road of Route 15
JR --- Japan Railroad or something
higashi --- east
note :
I used my LX1 on 28 mm with 3-6 feet zone setting and 6-15 feet zone setting.
I used 3-6 feet zone setting for the person.
and I used 6-15 feet zone setting for the canal mainly.
and naturally,
LX1's battery was dead in 2 hours usually.
That was the place just near the main road to my Dai-koku Pier.
...
my frivolities
I went shooting with LX1 and W5.
W5 was using for the evening and night.
my W5 has f 2.8 and f 5.6.
and my W5 still had made stains on f 5.6 at that night.
but in the night, it is very hard to get f 5.6 naturally.
so I could use my W5 in my Dai-koku Pier with manual exposure for the evening and with auto exposure for the night.
I had to use my W5 by manual focussing with f 2.8.
but I did the normal mistake naturally again.
at first,
I had been shooting my W5 by manual focussing with f 2.8.
and soon I had been shooting my W5 by manual focussing with f 5.6.
and soon later I had been shooting my W5 with auto exposure entirely.
I found it on my Dai-koku Oo-hashi ( big bridge ) in the night.
I had already been shooting over 200 jpgs until then.
My memory stick pro could accept only around 250 jpgs plainly.
I couldn't do my shooting from the evening again.
It had already all been passing.
All the causes had been hidden in my W5's tiny little pushing buttons.
It comes from my frivolities.
...
Leica M8
my W5 had already come back from SONY for repairing with no cost.
so,
I don't have a need to use my frivolities any more.
the manual exposure setting was not my shooting style naturally.
I had been shooting by manual exposure in my film lording type camera days.
The film lording type camera days could not be coming any more for me probably.
That has two simply reasons,
One is from my monetary reason.
and the other,
Leica had released Leica M8 already.
The most of all someone had been saying like this.
" I only shoot film ! "
The monetary reason person had been using the plastic digital cameras.
With no monetary reason person would be soon using Leica M8 naturally.
I have been simply loved Leica since 1978.
M8 is my too much more more far away dreaming still now.

Completed in 1962, this Modern memorial structure was designed by Austrian-born architect Alfred Preis to memorialize those who died in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, sitting above the remains of the USS Arizona, where 1,102 of the 1,177 victims of the attack were lost, remaining entombed within the ship. During World War II, the superstructure of the Arizona that remained above the waterline was mostly removed, with a flagpole being erected atop the sunken ship in 1950, with a temporary memorial being created above the remains of the deckhouse. In December of 1955, a ten-foot-tall basalt stone with a plaque was placed over the mid-ship deckhouse as a permanent memorial, while plans to build a larger memorial to those who died in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor were approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958. The concrete memorial, completed in 1962, is a 184-foot-long structure, which is tallest at the ends with an arch descending towards the center, featuring a geometric roof with seven openings on the top broken by horizontal ribs, and seven openings on the sides, an opening in the floor surrounded by a railing that allows visitors a view of the remains of the USS Arizona below, an entrance area with a low ceiling that creates a sense of compression when entering the memorial, with the assembly hall of the memorial and the shrine portion of the memorial at the opposite end from the entrance area have a “release” effect with higher and open ceilings. In the shrine, there are two openings featuring the “Tree of Life” sculpture flanking a marble-clad wall with the names of those killed in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, with the marble wall being especially sensitive to the humid and salty air of the site, necessitating its replacement twice - in 1984 and 2014. The entire memorial structure cantilevers over the USS Arizona below, hovering above the ship, but not touching it. The memorial was subsequently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and the USS Arizona itself was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1989, though the memorial does not share the same status or National Register listing. The memorial sits as a major landmark in Hawaii and has been visited by every sitting United States president since its opening, with presidents presenting a wreath and scattering flowers in the waters above the USS Arizona in honor of those who died in on December 7, 1941. In 2016, the memorial was visited by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whom paid his respects to those who had died in the attack, the first Japanese prime minister to do so, serving as a gesture of reconciliation between the two nations 75 years after the attack. Today, the memorial is run jointly by the United States Navy and National Park Service, and sees more than one million visitors every year.

Wonderful structural, minimalist views of gas pipes outside of residences in Tel Aviv. These were all shapes and sizes and numbers of pipes. Generally a single larger pipe came up from the ground and spilt into multiple smaller pipes, connected with valves and meters, and then further pipes dissapeared into building walls.
