After reading hundreds of articles and studying hundreds of other peoples light painted images, I went to bed last night and dreamed about light painting! If that isn't committed, I don't know what is... In my dream I was able to manipulate the light to do what I wanted it to do by either speeding up or slowing down, focusing the light or blanketing and when I woke up I suddenly realised what I had to do. I couldn't wait to get out this evening to test the theory, especially after finally receiving the new Canon 10-22mm in the post, it's a cracking lens; I've not had much chance to play with it yet but I love it already. Anyway, this is the result of my epiphany following that dream. I took around 15-20 shots to get the lighting that I needed and then spent around an hour cobbling each of the frames together in photoshop to get the result I have been trying to get for a very long time now. If I am critical, it's still not perfect, but I feel that I have at least crossed a bridge and it's just a matter of perfecting the technique now, oh and finding better locations, this road sucked but at least it was dark I guess!
RESPOSTA DO SMUGMUG
Então mandei um e-mail depois de me inscrever no SMUGMUG e fui prontamente respondida sobre essas dúvidas que nos assolam a respeito do flickr e o futuro de nossas fotos :
TUDO AQUI EXPLICADINHO E SEM MISTÉRIOS !
VIVA O SMUGMUG+ FLICKR
Estou amando !!!!
Thank you for contacting SmugMug. I will gladly assist you with this :)
If you want to stay with Flickr using their platform where your images are currently, then you don't need to make any changes to move over. When you are agreeing to move data to SmugMug as mentioned in that email that was sent out you're simply agreeing to transfer your data to SmugMug (the company), not your images to SmugMug (the product/platform).
And our data policies are great!
We are keeping Flickr on its own platform so it can grow and thrive and not forcing you to migrate your images over to SmugMug at this time.
If you do want to actually move content to SmugMug because you want to change platforms, we can help explain that too, just let us know.
On SmugMug, you can add title, captions and keywords to your photos, so you can tell a small story of each photo. I have included a link below to assist you with this.

All but three of these blocks were cut by me for use on posters. I used to try to make one new block for every poster I made. After a while storage became more the issue.
A selection of newspaper clippings highlighting the progression of construction and the celebration of opening day on the Coquihalla Highway.
Article courtesy of DUSK...here are some excerpts from other articles(ranging from 1992-1995) i found while browsing the U-T online archive
===============================================
The "graffiti belt" -- places where graffiti vandals hit most frequently -- runs roughly along Interstate 5 from Balboa Avenue to the border, along State Route 94 from I-5 to Lemon Grove, and along Interstate 8 from Mission Valley to El Cajon.
The Lemon Grove Avenue sign on State Route 94 was being hit by graffiti artists so much that Caltrans workers encircled the base of the sign with barbed wire.
----------------------------
Police define tagging as "recreational vandalism." Although many taggers collect in social cliques called "crews," they're less concerned about affiliation and geographic areas than gangs are. Crew affiliation is not as permanent as gang membership.
Taggers have their own language. Often after a party, taggers go on "bombing runs," in which they blitz the entire city with their tags in order to be known as "all-city." A "piece" is a really nice mural; a "piercer" does really good pieces, [James Coleman] said. A "toy" is a derogatory term for a beginner. "Suckers" are the residents who "buff" the graffiti (paint over it).
Styles sometimes overlap. Generally, though, tagger signatures are fashioned in wide, feathering bands, Coleman said. He said that bubble letters reflect the second generation of tagging graffiti, and murals are the third generation.
-----------------------
No good estimate exists of the amount of monetary damage done by taggers -- graffiti vandals usually in their teens or pre-teens. Caltrans says it spends $20,000 a month in San Diego employing and equipping full-time crews to clean the graffiti from freeway signs. But tagging is costly in other ways, in declining property values and increased public unease and fear.
Another important barrier to enforcement, according to [Joe Wood], is the California penal code. In order to qualify as a felony, vandalism must result in over $5,000 damage; below that, the crime is a misdemeanor. In the case of misdemeanors, in order for police to make an arrest, the crime must be committed in the presence of the arresting officer. Unfortunately, the fact that the tagger's name is on the wall doesn't prove anything. A freeway sign may contain several names placed there by one tagger. Also, some taggers plagiarize or "bite" other taggers' code names, especially the names of more notorious taggers. So SDPD is considering a number of innovative investigation techniques, among them, handwriting analysis to link tags with individual taggers, and charging several taggers with conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor; the conspiracy itself becomes a felony.
"W e briefly considered greasing the poles, but that was considered too messy," says James Larson, Caltrans community affairs director. (To climb freeway sign poles, some taggers bind their wrists and ankles in duct tape, sticky side outward.) "We've also tried putting up rat guards. You know, like the metal funnels used years ago to keep rats from climbing up the ropes to ships." But taggers used ladders to climb over the rat guards.
-------------------
Sgt. Joe Wood, 38, knows what the hieroglyphics along the freeways mean and he knows about the taggers who make them. "Actually, taggers don't like to be called taggers," says Wood, as he wheels his beat-up Mustang south on Interstate 5. "They like to call themselves `writers.' "
Wood says police used to prefer downplaying the details of tagging, and he is still ambivalent about saying anything that could glorify taggers, but he figures that the more the public knows about tagging, the more it will support political solutions. "Besides," he says, "anything I can tell you, the taggers already know."
(At a Burger King where Wood stops to eat, I look at the mirrored wall behind him and see a small crew insignia scratched into the glass.) Caltrans has begun to wrap razor wire around highway sign poles; in Los Angeles, taggers have circumvented this by using ropes -- so Caltrans is now wrapping poles to prevent roping as well.
------------------------------------
Although taggers hit myriad buildings, billboards and road signs, most pass through [Joseph Gaspard] and [Matthew O'Deane]'s jurisdiction because the kids get around by bus.
The transit cops sometimes also work on foot, watching for boys vandalizing bus benches and signs. They have trailed taggers who were painting nearly everything in sight, waiting for them to tag transit property.
An hour of observation doesn't net any arrests for Gaspard and O'Deane. So they head for Park Boulevard, where two other transit cops have caught a boy etching three letters into a bus window.
-------------
[Michael Cochran] said the back windows of the buses are so etched with gang symbols, initials and other graffiti that you can't see out of them, adding that even the new buses have been marred with graffiti from the back halfway to the front.
-------------
Mayor Susan Golding and representatives of four retail chain stores announced yesterday that the stores will lock up spray paint and other tools of graffiti vandals.
Golding was joined at the event by 8th District Councilman Juan Vargas, who announced a plan for San Diego similar to those in school districts and cities statewide that punish the parents of graffiti vandals along with the culprits themselves.
Kmart, Target, Pep Boys and Home Depot stores have agreed to keep aerosol paint cans, etching tools and marking pens locked up in their stores to prevent shoplifting of the items, Golding said.
=====================
Thirty-seven people were arrested this week after San Diego police and sheriff's deputies posed as Hollywood producers in an elaborate, six-month sting operation to catch taggers, the common name for graffiti vandals. Six others are being sought.
Letting their egos take the lead, the taggers unwittingly took the "producers" on a graffiti tour of the county, proudly pointing out their artwork on walls and freeways, police said. The admissions were captured on videotape.
The answers will be the primary evidence used against the taggers, said Deputy District Attorney David Williams. While searching the homes of taggers, investigators even found photo albums showcasing the graffiti, as well as videotapes of the taggers in action.
--------------
"They got 14- and 15-year-old kids, and some people who hadn't tagged in two or three years," says Chino, an aerosol artist (yes, galleries throughout the world recognize the technique). He was targeted but resisted the blandishments of Star Productions over a three-day "recruitment" by phone and at Star Productions' "office" on G Street.
-----------------
"They had row on row of paint cans against the wall, to use in the office there." Chino says he refused to paint in the storefront for the camera. "They offered to take me out in the van." He refused to go.
Imperial Beach businessman Jeff Franz, who supports the aerosol painters -- opposed to taggers -- by giving them his walls and a studio, says the six-month sting actually increased freeway tagging.
------------
Greg] and four of his friends responded to the casting calls, and he soon found himself spraying graffiti under a bridge at the intersection of Interstate 805 and state Route 54 in Chula Vista.
San Diego police Sgt. Joe Wood denied that the sting involved entrapment. Wood said the department received guidance from the District Attorney's Office every step of the way.
Wood agreed that many of the people arrested in the sting have artistic talent, but he said most graffiti vandals start out as taggers when they are younger and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage. In addition, he said all the arrests made involve illegal graffiti.

He was reading a PDF of an article on his laptop all crouched down in the hallway. Maybe a resident or med student. More likely, probably.
I read 2 very nice articles on photography/photoshop techniques this week, and tried them both today! Can I call this online literature? For me it is ;-)
The first one was about playing with the white balance on your camera. See the SOOC result in the comments, I only added some contrast to the photo.

The second is called "How to Convert Photos to Black and White Using Image Calculations", and I used this PS technique in my main photo. I like the subtle way of converting a photo to b&w, and am very happy that I discovered it!!

The Effect of the Civil War on Southern Marriage Patterns
In 1864, the editor of the Southern Literary Messenger received a letter from H. R., who identified herself as an eighteen-year-old, unmarried woman from Buckingham County, Virginia. Hattie, as the editor called the anonymous letter writer, admitted suffering from a “chill feeling of despair” brought on by the “execrable war.” She wrote that: "The reflection has been brought to my mind with great force that after this war is closed, how vast a difference there will be in the numbers of males and females. Having made up my mind not to be an old maid, and having only a moderate fortune and less beauty. I fear I shall find it rather difficult to accomplish my wishes."
Social historians of the Civil War have generally agreed that fears like Hattie’s were well grounded in demographic realities. The deaths of huge numbers of men, Nancy Cott has argued, rendered “the assumption that every woman would be a wife … questionable, perhaps untenable.”
The death rate was especially great in the Confederacy, which lost approximately one in five white men of military age in the conflict. Catherine Clinton has stated that the reduced population of young men “demographically deprived” southern women of husbands.
Drew Gilpin Faust, in her study of elite southern white women during the war, has argued that the loss of such a large proportion of the South’s male population undermined the region’s established pattern of family formation and threatened the identity of white women as wives and mothers. A generation of southern women faced the prospect of becoming spinsters reliant on their families for support.
Similarly, in a recent study of white southern womanhood in the late nineteenth century, Jane Turner Censer has expressed the notion that the Civil War “constituted a watershed” in the likelihood of marriage for southern white women.
. . . Despite the obvious hindrance that military service posed to courtship and marriage, observers frequently noted that the war acted as a catalyst for marriage. Bell Irvin Wiley’s early social histories of Confederate and Union soldiers document the obsession of unmarried men with the possibility of losing a fiancée or not finding a wife after the war. Letters to relatives were replete with inquiries about who was marrying whom and exhortations to local women not to marry other suitors, especially slackers and men exempt from the draft.
Green Berry Samuels, for example, wrote to his future wife Kathleen Boone in April 1861, begging her, “Dont be so cruel as to fall in love with some of the nice young men about F. Royal whilst I am gone away to fight the battles of Va.” In a subsequent letter, Samuels had harsh words for men who stayed home. “Should Mr. Lehew tease you about my being at Harpers Ferry, tell him you would not have a sweetheart unless he was willing to risk his life in defense of his country and also that you would never marry any man who staid at home and had nothing better to do than teaze the ladies.”
A flurry of marriages occurred early in the war, whenever men went on furlough, and then again at the end of the war. Richmond, the Confederate capital, hosted hundreds of wartime marriages, leading observers to marvel at the “marriage frenzy.” In 1863, after receiving a visit from her engaged nephew, who had lost a leg during the war, Judith McGuire of Virginia wrote, “I believe that neither war, pestilence, nor famine could put an end to the marrying and giving in marriage which is constantly going on. Strange that these sons of Mars can so assiduously devote themselves to Cupid and Hymen; but every respite, every furlough, must be thus employed.” In early 1865, McGuire again commented on “a perfect mania on the subject of matrimony. Some of the churches may be seen open and lighted almost every night for bridals, and wherever I turn I hear of marriages in prospect." As she traveled home with a group of other southerners at the war’s end, Kate Cumming heard a soldier declare that “the first thing he intended doing, after he arrived home, was to get married. I heard many of the soldiers say the same.”
As time passed and casualties mounted, some women became resigned to life without a husband. Others were willing to compromise on acceptable partners. In 1862 Ada Bacot complained of “two fashions which have crept into society … [t]hat of marrieng for money, & that of a woman marrieng a man younger than herself.” Military service conferred cachet upon the soldier, often regardless of his class. After the war, wealth became less important in the economically devastated South when contracting marriages, and many women married below their social class. Susan Bradford Eppes met her “Soldier in Gray” following the battle of Gettysburg, and they married after the war. “I hope we will not have too much trouble with my trousseau,” she remarked. “I wish they were willing for me to have only simple clothes for I am marrying a poor man and I do not ever intend to live beyond his means. Father would be willing but Mother and the sisters think, because they had these clothes I must have them, too.”
Some southern women in areas occupied by the enemy risked social ostracism by courting and marrying Union soldiers. Historians of the occupied South have written, “Letters and diaries of Union men in every occupied community reveal considerable social intercourse between Federals and ‘secesh’ girls which in a good many instances led to romances and marriages.”
The shortage of suitable men after the war gave those remaining many choices of women to marry, allowing widowers to remarry and others to try to escape their former obligations. Though more evidence is needed to draw concrete conclusions, a few northern and southern men may have attempted to remarry without divorce. Southerner Anna Bragg related to her husband news of a widower with three children remarrying and also described the wedding of Captain Paine to Miss Mary Frincks. “Some say he has a wife and child living,” Anna Bragg noted. A Union chaplain turned down the request of a woman who “had the hardihood to ask me to marry her to a man who confesses that he has a wife in Reading Pa. and who says his wife has had a ‘nigger baby’ since he came to the army.
After the war, white southerners responded to interracial marriage with violence. In 1870 Frances Harper, who had been an abolitionist, described a conversation with a black man whose son had “married a white woman, or girl, and was shot down, and there was, as I understand, no investigation by the jury; and a number of cases have occurred of murders, for which the punishment has been very lax, or not at all … .”
Widespread fears that emancipation would increase the incidence of interracial sexual encounters led states to pass more laws prohibiting interracial marriage “during the Civil War and Reconstruction than in any comparably short period.”34 The deaths of so many young men during the war probably contributed to such fears. John Blassingame, for example, has argued that the death of white men in the war led to a postwar increase in sexual contacts between white women and black men in New Orleans. The number of interracial unions no doubt remained quite small. Although instances of interracial marriage and cohabitation occurred during Reconstruction in numbers large enough to suggest some initial level of toleration from white neighbors, the vast majority of white women—confronted with the possibility of violence, rigid enforcement of miscegenation laws, and the vast social distance between themselves and black men—married white men.
Not only the deaths of white men but also their wounds affected the prospects for marriage in the aftermath of the war. One of the most important roles of nurses, official matrons, and volunteer hospital visitors was to help wounded men cope with the psychological impact of their injuries. “I constantly hear the unmarried ones,” wrote Kate Cumming, a nurse describing her amputee patients, “wondering if the girls will marry them now.” Years after the war, another southern nurse, Fannie Beers, had “never forgiven” a “heartless girl” who rejected her betrothed. The young man had suffered a facial wound and lost a leg. He told Beers about his engagement to “one of the prettiest … girls in ‘Massissip’” and asked her to write a letter telling the young woman about his wounds. While they awaited his fiancée’s reply, Beers eased the wounded man’s worries that he would have to “let her off” by relating “instances of women who only loved more because the object of their affection had been unfortunate.” She later regretted nurturing his hopes, for it was her “misfortune to read to him a very cold letter from his lady-love, who declined to marry ‘a cripple.’” Though “inconsolable” for a short time, he soon decided that she would not have been a good wife. As for southern women, faced with the choice of marrying amputees or cripples, men from lower social classes, or no one at all, some of these women ultimately married disabled veterans.
Letter writers and diary keepers commented frequently on wartime marriage, but after the war many of them stopped writing; the resulting silence created a gap in evidence about postwar marriage patterns. During the war, many Americans sensed that they were living through exciting, unique times. In order to record their experiences and reactions, they started keeping personal diaries, only to stop writing when the conflict ended. Many southerners stopped confiding to diaries because the humiliation and pain of defeat left them unable or unwilling to express themselves in writing. Furthermore, letter writing decreased from wartime levels as soldiers and refugees returned home. Women, especially, avoided recording events and sentiments that could be perceived as dishonoring Confederate veterans and their military service, and imbalanced sex ratios and the marriage squeeze may have served to remind southerners of their loss
