Now this common cockchafer, Melolontha melolontha, definitely looks like one of the invading hordes of Klendathu, from Starship Troopers. Would you like to know more?

it's been way too hot in my room. there is no air conditioning and beijing is heating up. i think the heat finally got to me today. i didn't really sleep last night either, after two straight days of not sleeping. um, and that's my reasoning for this. it's purple.

OK, so I know that technically this shot's a bit messy because the little tyke moved as I was pressing the shutter, but I still love the calculating evil lurking behind the eyes here. I was being accosted by a gang of these things trying to get into my car, presumably so that they could use it in ram raids in nearby Mildura.
then i started feeling pretty bad. I mean I've had bad days (I remember once when the cable was down for five minutes and I burnt my crumpets for tea) but so far I'd managed to get this cow sawn in half and stuck in freezing cold jelly for half the day. Apparently the guys said this is con-science. Worst. Science. Ever. It put me right off my jelly.
Attacks are almost becoming part of everyday life here in this horrid region, but we learn to live with it, only taking care of ourselves, armed with shotguns and other weapons ..

St James's Park
One of the earliest shots with my then new 50mm f/1.8 lens that requires manual focusing on D40. When this fellow came at me I was almost panicking trying to frame the shot and got this one pretty much by accident. Came out nicely. All the following ten or so shots that I actually tried to take failed miserably.
Attack Nihon-Ichi is an event in Misato-machi (a little town south of me) where people do a timed race up the largest store staircase in Japan. The staircase itself is 3333 steps, and participants in the race can choose the amount of time they think that they'll complete the climb up and down. The person who finishes closest to their time wins.
Oh and you can wear costumes and such as you race up the stairs. It was really fun!
I did in in about 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Almost finished with my helicopter MOC. The cockpit and engines need a bit of work, but it's almost ready to be built in brick (in camouflage).

National guardsmen march past the wreckage of the World Trade Center towers in New York, Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001. The ghastly toll of terrorism came into focus Thursday, as the mayor said 4,763 people had been reported missing in the devastation of the World Trade Center. Crews combed through the ruins, desperate to find a living soul. (AP Photo/Stephen Chernin)
