This weeks contribution to Monochromia blog.
These two are without any doubt my favourite subjects in Frognerpaken. They are just so touchingly human. These two strike a deep seated chord in me. I have many shots of these two dating back to the mid eighties. I’ve tried to capture what they mean to me ,and I fall short each time They don’t age,which means I’ve got plenty of chances yet,and they are always fun to meet again.

This is the story of two blades, spears crafted by the hand of the Emperor Himself in the days long before the birth of the Imperium. Linked, equal but opposite, these blades are destined to be wielded by two of the greatest heroes of the Age of Darkness. And as the spears themselves, Appolonian and Dionysian, are equal and opposite, so too are those to whom they were gifted. This is their story too. The warrior-scholar, a savant and a servant. The warrior-king, a savage and a soldier. Their fates entwined in ways they do not understand, they carry the blades as both gift and curse, fulfilment of destiny unseen by any save the Master of Mankind.
My former wife and I got cozy for this photograph on top of Cowels Mountain yesterday evening. It was a very peaceful hike.

Fascinated by nice homes in small towns. These two homes are close to the heart of Georgetown, but in a car-centric community like this, is there any benefit to having a nice home in a central location? 101 and 103 N Bedford St, Georgetown, DE.

"It would be great if you could bring some Lego cars in to show the kids how cars are built."

"How about in two days time?"
"Oh. Ok" - Yikes!!
I better get cracking then.
Temples of Talakad, Karnataka, India
The Group of temples at Talakad, located about 45 km south-east of the culturally important city of Mysore in the Karnataka state of India are ancient Hindu temples built by multiple South Indian dynasties. Archaeological excavations of the sand dunes at Talakad (or Talakadu) have shown the existence of several ruined temples built during the rule of the Western Ganga dynasty (c.345-999). However, according to historian I. K. Sarma, only two temples, the Pataleshvara (also spelt Patalesvara) and Maraleshvara (also spelt Maralesvara), built during the reign of King Rachamalla Satyavakya IV (r.975-986) are intact. According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the Vaidyeshvara temple (also spelt Vaidyesvara), the largest, the most intact and ornate of the group bears Ganga-Chola-Hoysala architectural features. Its consecration is assignable to the 10th century with improvements made up to the 14th century. According to the art historian Adam Hardy, the Kirtinarayana temple (also spelt Keertinarayana) was built in 1117 A.D. by the famous Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana to celebrate his victory over the Cholas in the battle of Talakad. It has currently been dismantled by the ASI for renovation. Only its mahadwara ("grand entrance") is intact. The Sand dunes of Talakad are protected by the Karnataka state division of the ASI. The Vaidyeshvara and Kirtinarayana temples are protected as monuments of national importance by the central Archaeological Survey of India.

On 27 and 28 January 2013, the Gender Affairs Unit in UNPOS facilitated a two-day brainstorming workshop in Mogadishu, on the establishment of a National Platform for Peace for Somali women. The workshop was attended by 31 female and five male participants drawn from youth organisations, women peace activists, women’s organisations and male gender advocates involved in peace initiatives. On the first day, participants were walked through the rationale and UN commitments for gender-responsive peace building before sharing their own experiences, challenges and opportunities for engaging more effectively in peace initiatives. The second day focused on exploring case studies from the region, mapping the various platforms that exist and discussions for/or against upgrading them into a National Platform. The outcome was consensus building on the need for more and wider consultations on either establishing a new platform or merging the existing ones.

A close up of two of the wood sculptures of Ron Cowan that were on display at the Common Ground Country Fair in Unity Maine. I provided additional detail in a photo I put on Flickr a few days ago. This and one more show some of the detail.
Two portraits from this week. The background is the same panels as in this image, but with the ExactTarget logo done up using old business cards. Sometimes the photo gods smile upon us.
The lighting is an Elinchrom Quadra into a gridded 28" softbox directly above for the main light, an SB-900 into a satin umbrella resting on the floor firing up for fill, and two gridded SB-800s, rear left and right, firing in as kickers. PocketWizard Plus II on the Quadra and Flexes on the speedlights.
I chose F4 for the DoF, a shutter speed that would allow the incandescent spotlights on the panels to show nicely, and brought the strobes in to match.
