Working on a project about things I brought over from Hong Kong when I was a kid. In the process of selecting the objects to be photographed, and experimenting with lighting it using household lamps in the garage. I'll have a chance to photograph them with actual studio equipment in a studio class.
Not sure it was worth the wait, but here is my response to aylevarroo photo:

I could not get this quite as I wanted it, and then the camera (a Polaroid SX-70) malfunctioned. I took about 10 shots, tho' - - and this one works the best.
I am wearing Yuri Gagarin’s personal wristwatch today, and so it seemed like a good photo opp for another other cool artifact from the Russian space program.
The black ceramic tile that the watch rests on was part of the thermal protection system of the Soviet Union’s space shuttle Buran, which made one flight on Nov. 15, 1988.
The Buran flew only one two-orbit mission, and because it was just as dangerous as the Shuttle it imitated, it flew and landed autonomously, with no humans on board. Five tiles were lost during the flight. More photos below.
This tile was removed after the orbiter was destroyed in a hangar collapse at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in 2002.
The watch looks to be a 1960's-era solid gold Russian watch, but I suspected it might be a forgery before I bought it. The auction house failed to notice that a letter was missing from the last name!
I got them to correct the listing, and the bidding did not go high, so I figured it was worth it to have an old Russian watch, perhaps circa 1967, that just might really have belonged to the first man in space (despite the typo in the engraving; perhaps that's why he got rid of it =). Maybe someone in flickrland can help shed light on this.
Here is what the auction house provided (as well as originals of the documents referenced): “Attractive 23 jewel, man's 10K gold wrist watch owned by Yuri Gagarin. Made by Russian watch maker and in working order. Back of watch engraved and has been translated as "YURI GAGARIN MAY 1, 1967". Watch accompanied by a note translated as "The watch was bought by Gagarin in 1967. It was in [his] personal use. Gagarina." Original translation report by Igor Moiseyev of ATLANTIC CROSSROAD, INC included. Watch face in fair condition with sweep wear on center of face patina due to age.”
Scarab Beetle artifact lost by the Ancient Egyptians and found by modern archeologists... For the Macro Mondays Group. Topic: Lost/Found. HMM
A friend of mine had this. I think he found it somewhere in New Mexico or Arizona. It's just under an inch long.
BNSF 8321 shoves under one of the few remaining ATSF artifacts along the BNSF Marceline Sub. Here BNSF 8321 is the rear DPU on a stack train headed west under the signal bridge east of Marceline. The head end can barely be seen climbing the next hill into Marceline, Mo.
EXPLORED:
In a world where almost everything
have been provided with a short cut...
more convenience in transportation,
faster and effective tellecommunication,
instant dietary meal consumptions,
more dynamic and fluid informations via net,
quick and easy guides of doing things
and not to mention the market globalization
available at everyone's disposal....
It is worthwhile
to stop,
look around,
and be thankful
for the small blessings
we've taken for granted....
God bless!

Detailed pic of the MOC I posted yesterday. The heart is an independent part so can be removed easily, or be placed inside the artifact in the most interesting position

Taken with a 70mm William Optics refractor and Canon 1100D on an EQ5 Pro mount on a permanent pier. ISO-800 for 90 seconds. Imaged between 2:40am - 5am BST
77 lights & 45 darks stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, then processed in Photoshop CS2, Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer
I stacked just on the comet but also did a dual stack on both comet and stars but the resulting image was full of artifacts. So I just worked with this one!
This one ran into some technical issues. I had to lower the camera more to get a straight on view. It ended up catching some of the edge of the table and not enough of the board in the front. Had to extend it in Photoshop, took the dark area from the top to add to the space in the front. I think if I slide the black board down more, I will get more space in the front. But it still might not be enough.
Photo of some of the collections at the St. Louis Science Center.
The collections are remnants of when the museum started at a Natural History and Science Museum. They are now stored in a non-public site and used occasionally for displays.
Where are the children? Hopefully safe at home. Laneway between Euclid Avenue and Palmerston Avenue.

For decade after, strange alien artifacts continued to wash up on the shore. Children would poke at them with sticks, but none of it was worth the trouble of dragging home. Sometimes they would lie on the beach for days darkening in the sun; at other times the tide would take them back.
Unprocessed photo taken in Kansas, U.S.A. Developing storms in the area. This photo has a yellow and triangular artifact that is/was not present on any other photos taken. As you can tell there is no sun from any angle. Any opinion on what the spot is?
