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."

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

Rover School is in session...
In Basic Rover Operations 101, one of the first skills we must master is the use of the Grabber. This clawed implement provides a handy way to interact with the environment without needing to leave the comfort of your plush upholstered pilot's chair or risk contamination from unknown flora or fauna.
Here some PinkTron Exchange Students pass the test with a demonstration of their Grabber prowess. (Don't worry, the Daisy Gazer student volunteer was unharmed in the demonstration.)

I am currently studying photography, specifically I am studying my new Nikon D810. The new Camera and lens arrived with 525 pages of manuals between the two of them. Yesterday I received delivery of two books with 1,266 pages of Nikon D810 related content in which to study. Today I have a headache, but I think it's because I spent yesterday in the backyard while pollen rained down from the pine trees.

A dynamic black and white street photograph capturing a group of students navigating the rain-soaked streets of Cavendish Street in Manchester. The scene shows four young people with umbrellas crossing the wet pavement, each dressed in their individual style - from casual winter coats to a striking white outfit with snake-print boots. The Manchester Metropolitan University signage is visible in the background, confirming this as part of the bustling student quarter. The reflective wet surfaces and urban storefronts create a quintessentially British scene of students adapting to the city's notorious rainy weather with resilience and style.
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 Æ’/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.
