Situated almost next door to Inverness Castle, the famous Student Hotel enjoys wonderful panoramic views of the town,the River Ness and the mountains beyond.
The architectural theme in these three photographs today culminates in this impressive University of Tasmania apartment block. It sits right alongside the community gardens I have mentioned in my previous photographs. The university describes the unique process of construction employed by local architect and building firms:
"The Inveresk apartments are Tasmania's first prefabricated timber-framed multi-storey residential development, combining prefabricated, lightweight timber framing with structural cross-laminated timber (CLT) in favour of traditional concrete and steel. The building was designed by local firms Morrison and Breytenbach and Circa Morris-Nunn Architects, with technical expertise from the University's Centre for Sustainable Architecture with Wood and the team's structural engineers."

"Student Circles" is a three-dimensional mural inspired by the true stories and emotions of University of Łódź students. Created by students for students, in the student housing area.
A part of the wall is occupied by self-portraits of students involved in the project. The main theme of the project is academic circles.
Another interesting element of the mural are hands, cut from PVC, painted by the students, and mounted on spacers. This gives the mural a layered effect, and the hands themselves become a symbolic trace emphasizing their role in the creative process. Łódź, Poland.
Thank you all for comments & faves :)
I was about to not do another 365 project this year until I heard from Angie. A couple of weeks before Christmas, Angie approached me wondering what camera to buy. Her camera arrived yesterday.
When Angie asked me which camera a couple of weeks ago, I had a series of questions for her.
1. What was her budget?
2. What did she want to do with the camera?
3. Was she opposed to buying used gear?
After weighing these factors, we decided to shop Adorama for a used Nikon D300 and a 50mm lens. We chose Nikon over Canon because she wanted me to teach her. I'm familiar with Nikon and the Nikon lingo. Also I have an abundance of Nikon lenses for her to try.
Back in 1980 when I bought my first SLR, there was an important difference between Nikon and Canon. Canon was at the forefront of electronics in cameras, while Nikon was the old fogey premier pro brand. That's because Nikon had the best glass. But the Canon AE1 would soon eclipse Nikon, and the race was on. Meanwhile Minolta tried to make the best of both worlds. My first SLR was a Minolta X700, but I soon gravitated to Nikon for the glass and the abundance of great used gear in Japan. I've never wavered from Nikon since I can still use all my old manual focus lenses on my DSLRs.
We chose the D300 because of it's proven reliability, ease of use, toughness, adequate ISO range, and a good used one fit in Angie's budget. It has the autofocus motor in the body, and it can use any lens Nikon has manufactured since 1977.
We chose the venerable 50mm ƒ/1.8 lens because it is the perfect lens to learn photography with. It forces you to zoom with your feet, to seek out the best vantage point. It's as sharp as any lens Nikon has ever produced. It's fast enough to shoot in low light without flash. It can render a background into beautiful bokeh. And the price cannot be beat. It's the recommended lens for photography students everywhere.
So, Angie wants me to teach her. Here's the deal for Angie.
1. Join flickr. Upload photos. Have fun. Don't taker it to seriously.
2. Start a 365 project. Join a 365 group. Take at least one photo a day that she considers to be acceptable and put it out there.
3. Join We're Here! and participate.
In return, I'll teach. We'll try to get together for something new at least every week. And we'll see where this goes.......
Unfortunately I wasn't able to FUTAB with the Herrios today. My workday started at 6AM and I worked until 4PM saving lives and making money. Once I clocked out I was working with Angie thoroughly screwing up her new camera so she could solve it like a Rubik's cube.
Thank you all for your encouraging words.

I briefly mentioned that the disposable film camera one of the girls was shooting photos with was "kakkoii"... and I instantly made six new friends (five students, one sensei). Met and photographed on the road to Kiyomizu-dera, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto. May 24, 2017.
