Phoot Camp Application 2011
There’s an area in San Diego called Old Town which is filled with historical sites and Hispanic influence. Parts of it remind me of Texas (maybe because there is a restaurant called the Alamo there), so I thought it’d be a fitting place to do my self portrait for my Phoot Application this year. But in searching for a place to set up my photo gear, I came across these Victorian houses and ended up spending my entire afternoon shooting in this little preserved neighborhood.

UPDATE: I'm going to Phoot Camp!! :D
Kanmantoo - former mining centre on SA Company Land.
When both the Paringa Mining Company and the SA Company applied for the Mt Barker Special Mining Survey in late 1845 the double application was solved by allotting strips of land to each company as shown in the map earlier. The SA Company had sent their geologists to the area to look for copper and they had had some success. William Giles, the SA Company Manager hoped for great success but this eluded the Company. By 1846 the SA Company had a mine site up and working with 25 mainly Cornishmen employed but the high cost of transport to and from Port Adelaide, (£200 a round trip) meant that the mine never made a profit or dividend for the SA Company. The mine also had a problem as the miners at Kanmantoo were paid less than those at Burra and most left anyway for the Victorian goldfields in 1851. Ore was smelted at Callington smelters or at Mr Dawes smelter at Dawesley. Eventually the SA Company sold its land to the Kanmantoo Mining and Smelting Company in 1862. This company only lasted until 1869. The New Kanmantoo Company mined the area from 1869-1874 with the Company mine closing in 1874 but private miners continued working the area for the next thirty years usually employed by Peter Lewis the blacksmith of Kanmantoo. In 1860 and again in 1886 some silver was also found in the mining area at Aclare mine near St Ives but this closed quickly as a company operation but was also worked by individuals until it finally closed in 1912. The village of St Ives, what was left of it, is now under the freeway built in 1977.
But where was the Kanmantoo mine? It was in several satellite villages to Kanmantoo such as ;Staughton near the current freeway; St Ives also near the freeway but on Paringa Mining Company land not the SA Company land; and at Tavistock between Kanmantoo and the Bremer River. So mining was widespread with Kanmantoo in the middle of all the villages. Kanmantoo was the SA Company base with the Company store and other administrative functions there. The other villages lasted from the first mining in 1846 to late in the 19th century by which time they were generally deserted. This was also the period when most of the mining companies sold off their lands for wheat farming. Although Staughton had a Primitive Methodist chapel (1849) for use by the strongly Methodist Cornish miners, Kanmantoo was the town that got most of the necessary public buildings. It was established in 1849 as a town site on the new government road via Callington to Wellington and the Murray River. Within a few years Kanmantoo had 66 houses, two hotels, a Methodist Church built in 1864, a blacksmith and a general store. The Primitive Methodists had built an early chapel in 1847 but all traces of this disappeared quickly when it was replaced in 1864 by a new Primitive Methodist Church. This Methodist church became the town school building which is now the community hall. Kanmantoo School operated from the early years (1857) in several different locations and in 1880 it became a provisional school with government inspections. The Education Department bought the Primitive Methodist Church in 1921 as a state school and we can see where they replaced a gothic church window with a typical school room window in the 1920s. By 1953 the school had a mere 3 students and it was closed by the government. As a community hall it has a problem for table tennis as the floor was designed to slope towards the pulpit at the front!
One year after the Primitive Methodists built their new Kanmantoo Church the more upper class Wesleyan Methodists built a fine church (1865) in Kanmantoo in Cook Street. It still stands and has a façade with unusual brickwork around the window above the door and the bell cover. When the 3 branches of Methodists united in 1900 the Primitives gave up their church, (which eventually became the town school), and the former Wesley Methodist Church became the only Methodist church in Kanmantoo. The last service was held in this building in 1956 and it is now a private house. It should be in the Register of the National Estate in our opinion because of its historical associations with the Cornish miners of Kanmantoo and its unusual architecture.
Primitive Methodist Church later Kanmantoo state school. The Kanmantoo Wesleyan Methodist 1865.
Kanmantoo also had a Catholic Church built in 1858 as some of the miners were of Irish descent. St Thomas Church was L shaped and quite large on Nursery Street. It was during the 1850s that several large Irish Catholic families arrived at Kanmantoo mines. Father O’Brien laid the foundation stone of the Catholic Church in April 1858. As the congregation swelled with additions to the Irish families a new section was added in 1865 to create the current L shaped appearance. St Thomas’ Catholic Church closed in 1956 and was saved from demolition when new owners restored it as a residence. Lutherans in Kanmantoo travelled to St Peter’s Lutheran church in Callington which was erected in 1864. It appears that most Anglicans in Kanmantoo travelled to St James Anglican Church at Blakiston.
Kanmantoo unlike the other villages survived as a rural service centre for the local wheat farmers. The grain was taken to Nairne, not far away for milling. One of the early farmers was Charles Young who had been a surveyor for the Paringa Mining Company in 1856 when it sold off much of its land not considered suitable for mining. He also surveyed Harrogate. Young bought up land from the Paringa Mining Company in 1866 and called it Holmesdale. It was located near St Ives, just outside Kanmantoo. Within a year he had 25 acres under vines which he quickly increased to 40 acres. He established a winery there that operated for many years. He had an arrangement to use the Kanmantoo school children to pick the grapes and he sold most of his wine to England. He became the squire of the district, representing the area in the Legislative Council, in local government as a councillor and he indulged his interests of education, horse racing and Aboriginal welfare. He used to visit Point McLeay Mission (now Raukkan) and he brought back to Holmesdale in 1887 a young 15 year Aboriginal boy called David Unaipon. We now know that Unaipon went on to publish scientific articles, write books, invent a special shearing comb for sheep and he is depicted on the $50 Australian note. When Charles Young died in 1904 his son Harry took over the property and continued his father’s work. He continued to provide a home for David Unaipon who lived on the Young property most of his life; Harry also became a local councillor; he supported horse racing (there is still a Harry D Young hurdles race at the Easter Oakbank races each year) but he pulled out his father’s vines in 1939 and ended the Kanmantoo winery. Harry Young died in 1944.
Another well known one time resident of Kanmantoo was Dame Enid Lyons who went to school there. Her widowed mother, Eliza Tagget, lived in Kanmantoo before going to Queensland and later to Tasmania. It was in Tasmania that Dame Enid Lyons met her future husband Jo Lyons who became Prime Minister of Australia and established the party that later became the Liberal-Country Party of Australia. Apart from famous residents Kanmantoo also has a well known forest plantation. The combined district schools Arbor Day of 1897 was when the plantation to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee on the throne was created. This plantation still stands despite drought and floods. The creeks and the Bremer River have all flooded on a number of occasions. The worse floods were in 1894, 1913, and in 1939 when the Princes Highway to Melbourne was cut. Evidence of the floods is still visible. The flats below Kanmantoo were also used periodically for military camps and training between 1880 and 1939.
In more modern times Kanmantoo has had a mining resurgence. The copper lodes were worked again between 1970 and 1976 yielding 36,000 tons of copper and 9,000 ounces of gold. More recently Hillgrove Resources has restarted the copper and gold mines of Kanmantoo using modern methods of ore extraction. Hillgrove started on this journey in 2004, getting mining leases in 2008 and finally approval to go ahead with the new mine in 2010. After a further year of construction and work the new processing plant was commissioned for work in November 2011. This construction and site preparation phase has cost Hillgrove $121 million. This large open cut mine will have a life of around 6.5 years and Hillgrove expect to extract 20,000 tons of copper and 10,000 ounces of gold. The mine site was employing 150 people, half of the contractors, by the end of 2011. So the original impetus to settlement is once again relevant to the survival of tiny township of Kanmantoo almost 170 years after its founding.

Title: Technicians at work in the Applications Laboratory, Varian Techtron, 679 Springvale Road, Mulgrave
Author / Creator: Sievers, Wolfgang, 1913-2007 photographer.
Date: 1974.
The National Library of Australia holds a similar, colour photo of this scene.
Varian Techtron was the result of a merger between the Australian company Techtron and the American firm Varian Associates in 1967. The Springvale Road site (then in Springvale North, but now in Mulgrave) was established by Techtron and is still in use, but now as Agilent Technologies (which acquired Varian in 2009). Techtron Appliances was established in 1938 and it and its successor companies have produced a variety of electronic and analytic equipment for industry and scientific research, notably including Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers (AAS) to CSIRO specifications.

Hi! In the spirit of concentrating the public's attention in our stores and keeping the fees low and affordable to everyone, Mainstore Releases is ready propose to you a brand new store-related initiave: the Mainstore Madness! As for the Annoying Hunt, this a project that I have been doing for a while now and I think could be a great project that we can all share together!
What is Mainstore Madness?
Once a month we ask you to make a new mainstore release, no dates, no deadlines, just when you feel you can do it. The new release will stay up at your store for 48 hours with a 40% discount. We encourage you to have a countdown timer in order to show customers the remaining time they have. After that you can put the full price and keep it at your store. The responsability of your product/timing/discount etc is up to you cause I don't have a team of people that can check, so please follow the rules or the customers will skip your store and it's a pity!
Why to join?
This project is made for designers that cannot afford/are not invited to events, but also for designers that join events but want to focus the attention in their mainstores too.
The initiative will start in March.
Info and rules
- You must have an inworld store.
- You must join once a month, any day it's more comfortable to you.

- You must rez at your store the Mainstore Madness poster that will show the discounted product(s) of the day of all stores joining so we can promote each others I will personally change the image in the poster every time you will release a new product! This is the key to this project, the mainstore community promotion!
- You can choose if you want to set the product for your group, for Mainstore Releases group or for everybody.
- Vendor images must be sent 2 days before the release of the new product via a provided form, so I have the time to create the poster.
- Once accepted you will receive a designer kit with the poster, info and a Mainstore Madness logo to add to your mainstore release.
Fill the form if you are interested: forms.gle/bCSoLxau4K8t1dYw8

Washwood Heath in Nechells on a very hot July day 2018
Late home again, I heard murmurs about me,
my parents in bed. It was not the first time,
and I didn’t know whether they ever realised
I could hear them speaking, that I also guessed
what their regular topic was. By oversight
left on the dining room table, not typed
but (“strictly required of all candidates”)
done in handwriting ‒ upright ‒ spaced
as clearly as always ‒ was my father’s
most recent letter of application.
I should not have read it. It set out his wide
experience, his talents, his eagerness
to meet new prospects with fresh ideas,
and adjust to a changing world (which went
without saying but had to be said). I saw
one detail that stopped me with its bravery:
“I am still a young man”, and the figure he added,
like this: (47). I looked at the clock
‒ as late as that? There was no more risk
of waking them now. I could go to bed.
Seventeen, on that frozen night my eyes
started something not far from the same sort of tears
that they fill with today, so I like to believe.

STROBIST:
One TTL flash, tethered via an TTL cable (10 meters, for Canon, from Yongnuo).
I tried two new light formers here:
1. Traveller8: not my cup of tea (spot too small, light too hard, needs a lot of tape for fixation -- the rubber band does not hold the tool on my flash)
2. Lastolite Mini brolly, 50 cm diameter: works, the shot above was shot with that tool
www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004TB0NGM/ref=oh_details_o01_s0...
But any other brolly could do the same or better...
An example for a larger brolly, which can be collapsed and which I like better:

And if I really go on a journey I use a white microbrella (for the rain) with some gaffer tape (for the flash). :-()
