Active Assignment Weekly: 8-15 Jan 2018: Love is in the Air
"This challenge is all about showing the spirit of love that crosses all ages and genders.
Submit photos which demonstrate what love means to you! It can be the love for a Husband/ Wife, Friends, Children, Parents, Family and even Pets."
There is a line in John Paul Young's song .... Love is in the air in the whisper of the tree .... A bit noisy, and I wanted to capture the movement in the tree but there wasn't enough wind.
Our Active Learning Classroom (ALC) is designed to support interactive and technology enhanced learning. It serves as an incubation space where faculty can implement and assess new teaching and learning ideas.
The classroom is capable of numerous configurations; with computer stations at each table and multiple wall-mounted screens. The purpose of the ALC is to offer active, engaged teaching and learning experiences in a collaborative environment.
In recent decades, developments in software and hardware technologies have created dramatic shifts in design, manufacturing and research. Software technologies have facilitated automated process and new solutions for complex problems. Computation has also become a platform for creativity through generative art and design. New hardware platforms and digital fabrication technologies have similarly transformed manufacturing, offering more efficient production and mass customization. Such advances have helped catalyzed the maker-movement, democratizing design and maker culture. This influx of new capabilities to design, compute and fabricate like never before, has sparked a renewed interest in material performance.
We are now witnessing significant advances in active matter, 3D/4D Printing, materials science, synthetic biology, DNA nanotechnology and soft robotics, which have led to the convergence of software, hardware and material technologies and the growing field of programmable materials.
This conference was about the emerging field of active matter and programmable materials that bridges the worlds of art, science, engineering and design, demonstrating new perspectives for computation, transformation and dynamic material applications.
If over the past few decades we have experienced a software revolution, and more recently, a hardware revolution, this conference aims to discuss the premises, challenges and innovations brought by today’s materials revolution. We can now sense, compute, and actuate with materials alone, just as we could with software and hardware platforms previously. How does this shift influence materials research, and how does it shape the future of design, arts, and industrial applications? What tools and design processes do we need to advance, augment and invent new materials today? What are the key roles that industry, government, academic and public institutions can play in catalyzing the field of programmable materials?
This two-day conference consisted of a range of talks and lively discussion from leading researchers in materials science, art & design, synthetic biology and soft-robotics along with leaders from government, public institutions and industry.

Active Assignment Weekly : Junk.
There is this great shop that sells all sorts of....well, junk, among other things. This was outside, on top of a large cabinet. Unfortunately my time of day wasn't great, so it was really bright. Boosted saturations and tried to correct levels in PS.

Protest is held in Colombo today ~ 6th September 2011 to highlight the issues related to current development process in Sri Lanka. The protest is organised by Land Forum of Sri Lanka, National fisheries Solidarity Movement and Praja Abhilasha Network. Fishermen, Farmers and activists participated actively in today’s protest.
“In post war Sri Lanka, the government development plans are underway with the aim of country’s prosperity and betterment of the people. But, most of the development projects which are carried out by the Government are harming the peoples’ lives, one way or the other. Most of them seem are not followed the basic principles of the development, which are adopted by the Government itself.
The reality of development threats to the people’s hereditary inheritance in many areasincluding, the situations of 14 Islands in Kalpity, large area in East coast including hundreds of acres of land area in Vakarai, Sampor, Panama, Arugambay. And also it will reveal the reality of sea plane landing projectsthat planning to implement in 20 inland reservoirs, destroying environment and fisheries sector in Parakarama Samudra, Polonnaruwa, Nachchaduwa, Nuwara wewa, reservoirs, in Negombo lagoon, in the name of the tourismindustry development. At the same time the natural capital of Sri Lanka, which is Sinharaja world heritage site, Knuckles range, Somawathie, Nilgala forest, etc are also in the verge of destruction due to tourism projects.
In Uva Wellassa, another thousands of acres of land being allocated for sugar cane cultivations as well as forMaize cultivation for bio fuel productions. All these efforts are carried out without any prior, free informed consent of the people. So, there are a lot of tension and difficulties on general public, majority are farmers, agricultural workers, fisher folk communities, workers etc in the country” say the organisers of today’s protest.

I don't know if anyone ever reads my descriptions, but I write them anyway, so there!!
Was out today (August 20th 2021) on a forced vacation day, from 9:30AM til' almost 4PM. 80F today but it felt like 100F. This is a very active line and I probably flicked 20 freights today. 750+ flicks. By the time I get rid of a few duplicates, and bad ones, I'm guessing it'll be about 700 +/-. 700 to straighten, fix any color issues, upload, and also ID the writers. It's lots of time and as you can imagine, it's a lot of work, but so far it's been fun. I'm trying to not rush myself to post before I'm ready. I already have the flicks, and they're timeless. So getting them posted ASAP!!!!!! is not really my concern. Duh..
Had an interesting interaction with a guy while out there. Guy with backpack had walked back and forth across the tracks a few times. The lat time I saw him he was on the other side of a set, about 100 yards away. Next thing you know he's coming closer..... Closer..... And I'm like WTF? I'm way out here minding my own business. He walks within' like 10 ft. of me and I say "How ya' doin'?" he says something, and then says "Trains?" and I say "Yep." and he says "Oh.." and walks away. I think he was feelin' me out, as there's a small population of people who's homes are shall I say, mobile. I've talked to a few of them, and have never had a bad interaction, I just don't like people walkin' up on me when I'm trying to get away from the rest of the world out by the tracks. I go out there to get away from people, not to interact.
======================
I follow some other amazing photographers on flickr, but for this I will talk about the ones who flick the freights. There are a few that I really love. Some it's because of the great locations they shoot at, and others it's the amazing little details they manage to capture. For me (right now) I don't have the luxury of walking the lines and seeing pieces static. 99.999% of my flicks the freight is rolling by at 10-50 mph and sometimes I don't really even know what I have until I get home, dump the memory cards and go through the photos. Because of this, most of my flicks are just straight on shots and documenting what I saw and where. I saw this freight here, on this date, here's what was on it, and i captured it. Buffed or scraped next week, well I have it on "film" for future generations (sounds corny, I know). There are times when a freight will stop in-front of me, and I'll walk up and get some shots of monikers, but it's rare.
Obviously in any area there are sidings where freights park for extended periods, I know a few spots, but as I get older, and older, do I really want to leave my car parked on the side of the road and walk 2 miles to capture some little details I might normally miss? I'd love to, but it's just not practical for me at this time, any many other people do it better than I could. Retirement is getting closer every day, maybe then, when my weekdays are free. :-)
======================
During the Covid lockdown, I was working from home, and I was getting out benching like 2 & 3 times a month. Back at work, I'm lucky to have the energy to get out once a month. Every time I do manage to get out, I come home and my batteries feel re-charged. It's been so f-ing hot here in SoCal though, I can't wait for cooler weather and some clouds in the sky.
As always, thanks to the writers!

Active Assignment Weekly: February 7-14: Artistic Motion Blur
WIT: 1000 ISO, f/5.3, .25 sec shutter. In Photoshop, I gave it a bit of a crop, played with the lighting and coloring. Because I shot it at 1000 ISO, it was pretty noisy, so I ran it through a noise program, which made it look a little surreal, which I kind of liked. The grainy one was cool looking, too, but in the end, I went with this one.

Active Assignment of the Week September 14 – September 21: Morning routine
Take a picture of anything related to your typical morning, be it your inability to get out of bed, a large mug of steaming coffee, or commuting at a standstill with 1,000 of your closest personal friends.
Restriction: Full color shots only. No B&W, no duotones, etc.
Dare: Go berserk with post-processing.
Every Sunday, there is a open air market set up in the center of town, featuring locally grown produce and flowers. Here are some regular morning shoppers getting their fruit and vegetables for the coming week.

I tried some closer shots, but the bright morning sun made it hard to get a good shot without blowing out the white tents, so I went with this shot from further off.
Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, September 2012 theme "My local Mountain.

It will take your imagination. We do not have mountains in The Netherlands. None. Not even a small one. There is, however, a committee of mountain-loving people that are raising funds to build a mountain. It will be around 3000 meters high, in the center of the country. So I took my picture of Amsterdam and blurred the background of office buildings to mimic a mountain ridge.
Can you imagine? Skiing in the Dutch Mountains?
There is already a song about the Dutch Mountains....
