I've decided to augment my meager pocket knife collection at the beginning of this year.
My new acquisitions belong to my "white blades" group (when I stopped collecting,
five years ago, I had nothing but "black blades," of the tactical kind). Why the renewed
interest? Because I'm amazed at how knife manufacture has radically developed recently.
Look at all those holes and cut-aways! Years ago, you didn't dare lighten blades and knives
with those! And note the dull finish on most of them! Are these serious cutters or plastic toys? :P
Lastly, I was intrigued by "assisted opening" (that 'legal-loophole workaround' that allowed manufacturers to sell knives that open at a flick of the thumb and yet is supposed to be very different from how switchblades (which are banned in the US) work. I just have to see how "differently" it operates, so I bought four "A-O" knives...haha!

Hey guys!
So here is my latest figure - not much to really say actually! I wanted to do something a little different with Richard's Future Gunner sculpt, so I switched out one of the arms and the hands for Pecovam's Crysis sculpts as if he had lost his hands and one arm and had them replaced with bionics, and also hollowed out the helmet (which was a major task, but it really paid off!)
Let me know what you guys think!
Le Cambodge est un pays agricole avec plus de 80 % de la population vivant dans les zones rurales. La production de riz est la principale activité agricole dans le pays, et sa récolte est pratiquée deux fois par an. Les agriculteurs cambodgiens utilisent principalement des méthodes traditionnelles pour cultiver le riz, y compris la culture en rizières et la récolte manuelle. Selon les statistiques, le Cambodge produit environ 9 millions de tonnes de riz par an, ce qui en fait l'un des principaux producteurs de la région.
Le riz cambodgien est principalement exporté vers d'autres pays asiatiques, tels que la Chine, le Vietnam et la Thaïlande. Le marché a connu une croissance constante au cours des dernières années et le pays a exporté près de 620 000 tonnes de riz en 2019. L'industrie du riz est l'un des principaux secteurs économiques du pays, contribuant pour environ 10 % du PIB. Cependant, le Cambodge doit encore faire face à des défis pour augmenter son exportation de riz, notamment avec l'amélioration de la qualité du riz et en développant l'efficacité de la distribution.

The Bayon is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the center of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman's death, it was modified and augmented by later Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences.
The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak. The temple has two sets of bas-reliefs, which present a combination of mythological, historical, and mundane scenes. The main conservatory body, the Japanese Government Team for the Safeguarding of Angkor (the JSA) has described the temple as "the most striking expression of the baroque style" of Khmer architecture, as contrasted with the classical style of Angkor Wat.

Excerpt from www.discoverhongkong.com/ca/place-to-go/victoriano.html:
Created by Spanish artist Victoriano, this mural perfectly complements the lively and bustling streets of Sheung Wan with the motifs of people and printing presses. What makes this piece extra special is that you can view it through an augmented reality platform on your mobile phone, where you can interact and admire the piece in new and dynamic ways. In particular, the moving images of the printing press slowly coming back to life makes this piece truly unique. If you want to try it out, download the mobile app to view Victoriano’s artwork in full animated glory.
This "AUG" is heavily inspired by Victor Marchenko from the new Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I used the robot arm technique by Sharpspeed once again.
The background is an upcoming apoc moc, more coming much later

Located in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, resonate invites us to ‘feel ourselves deeply embedded within the natural world’ and aims to capture ‘that ineffable feeling – a state of resonance‘.
Upon entering the exhibition, a sound reminiscent of a singing bowl flows through the garden, while the first illuminated installation rotates before viewers. Throughout the gardens, vibrant light installations work in harmony with the natural environment. The use of light and sound creates the illusion of another world. It also augments the natural flow, plant life and landscape of the Botanic Garden.
Highlights of the exhibition include Beginnings, where coordinated pillars of light dance over the garden’s lake in a hypnotic display, and Winterings, where magical, light-bearing spheres float through the atmosphere of the rainforest conservatory, beaming dancing pillars of light across the forest floor. The final display, Aliveness, includes a vibrant soundtrack as lights flare over the garden’s trees, concluding the event with an uplifting sense of hope.
Kinetic photography augmented by the Zoom Effect transforms tree branches, leaves and sky into a fluid abstraction.

It was common to see dogs and their owners on the street, but this scene was actually fairly unique: a muzzled dog, who seemed to be patiently enduring the contraption that had been stuck on his face.
I have no idea what kind of dog this is, or whether he was prone to bite anyone within reach; it might have been something as simple as preventing the mutt from barking too loudly. In any case, both dog and owner seemed to be strolling along without any great drama.
**********************
As I’ve mentioned in a couple of recent Tumblr blog postings, I’m working on an exercise for a new class that I’ve started taking at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in the fall of 2015.( You can see the earlier Tumblr postings here and here.)
In addition to taking a bunch of photos (see the other Tumblr postings for details and descriptions of what the photos are supposed to illustrate), we also have the task of editing our images down to a maximum of 10 “presentation images” that we will share with the ICP class next week. When our instructor, Joanne Dugan, asked me last week if I anticipated having any problems with this aspect of the assignment, I shrugged and said, “No, I do this all the time …”
Well, yes and no: I do do a lot of editing/winnowing of my photos before deciding which ones should be shared with anyone else. But I had forgotten that I also do a lot of cropping, color-adjustment, tweaking, and general post-processing before I upload my photos to Flickr, Facebook, or even Instagram. For this particular ICP exercise, we were also told not to crop the photos, and not to do any post-processing. That makes things a lot more difficult …
On the other hand, part of the exercise is to assemble and share a maximum of ten photos that collectively tell a “story” of some kind – and to “tell” that story with anywhere from a word, to a sentence, to a paragraph for each of the photos. That makes things a lot easier … after all, if a photo has to be presented in isolation, then it truly stands alone. And it is intended to be viewed without any accompanying text, then it really stands alone. There’s nothing wrong with that; indeed, one might argue that that’s the whole point of photography: a picture should “tell” a story all by itself, without any extraneous verbiage to “explain” what might not be obvious to the viewer.
But not very many things exist in complete isolation of the rest of the universe, especially in today’s interconnected world. I suppose some people would debate that point quite vigorously; and some people might argue that a photograph of a person, place, or thing should be able to “stand alone” without anything else. I certainly have seen photos that fall into this category, and I suppose I’ve taken a few like that, too. Or, maybe if I never intended my photos to be considered in complete isolation from one another, perhaps that’s how some people prefer to look at them …
But for me, that’s a pretty rare phenomenon. Almost always, I find myself telling a story. The photographs obviously present one “dimension” of the story, in a visual form; and I’ve been trying to remind myself lately that videos can present can present one, and sometimes two, additional dimensions (motion and sound) that can add enormously to the viewer’s understanding and appreciation of the underlying story.
But even if one uses only traditional photos, I find that it’s almost impossible for me to crate (or make, or take) one photo by itself; invariably, I take dozens, if not hundreds or even thousands, which collectively tell a story. It may be a story about someplace I’ve been, or some event in which I’ve participated, or some individual (or group of individuals) that I want the viewer to know and appreciate in more detail than would be possible to communicate in a single photo.
And then there are the words … maybe it’s because I spend part of my time as a writer and teacher that I find it almost impossible not to augment my photos with words. Lots of words. Indeed, sometimes far too many words; and sometimes clumsy words, or the wrong words. And I do realize that there are times when the situation would be improved if I would just shut up, and let the photograph do all of the communication. But for better or worse, I guess I’m a photojournalist.
With that in mind, I began the process of editing the photos for my recent ICP assignment. Here’s what I found:
1. It’s not as easy as one might think, when you start with a large number. I began winnowing the original images when I had 2,700 (after 9 days of shooting), and I still had 5 days of shooting left).
2. It’s much more difficult than I had imagined, given the constraints of my ICP class: no cropping, no post-processing, and a maximum of only 10 images. I’ve worked within those constraints for the final images that I’m submitting to the ICP class; but for these Flickr uploads, I’ve ended up with 40-45 images – and they have been heavily cropped, tilted, color-corrected, noise-dusted, and tweaked in various other ways. C’est la vie…
3. Using the collection of photos to “tell a story” is both easier and harder than I thought it would be. I’m including these background notes in all of the photos that get uploaded to Flickr … because I’ve learned (form past experience) that some visitor will zoom in on just one particular photo, without necessarily looking at all of them, and/or without seeing the overall notes for the entire album. And I don’t think I’ll find it difficult to write a few sentences to provide the background details for each photo … but whether they “flow” and create one overall, coherent “story” remains to be seen.
4. Aside from a narrative “story,” there are some “themes” that I noticed throughout this entire two-week exercise. The most significant one was exactly what I had anticipated: patterns. If you are lucky enough to sit in the same spot at the same time, day after day, you see the same rhythms, the same people, the same repetitions of life’s little actions and emotions. Many people have the opportunity to see these patterns, because they do follow the same schedule, day after day, on their way to their job or their school. But some of us have irregular routines, and any, most of us don’t pay any attention. If you slow down, and pay attention, you’ll see the patterns.
But sometimes the pattern involves uniqueness – i.e. strange and unusual people or events that seem to happen only once. But I have to keep reminding myself that my visits have lasted only two weeks; if I was here for a month, or a full season, or perhaps an entire year – then perhaps I would see these strange incidents repeating themselves
5. Another theme – which I did not anticipate, but was delighted to see – was the pervasive sense of affection and caring between and among everyone on the street. Mostly it was apparent in the interactions between parents and children; but sometimes it was between dog-owners and the dogs they were walking; sometimes it was between friends who happened to be walking along together; and sometimes it was between complete strangers and me, as the strangers would smile and nod and say “hello” if they noticed I was watching them. It was a great experience.

Inspection de notre tapis de course à l’aide d’un casque de réalité augmentée (lequel tapis s’appelle COLBERT, mais rien à voir avec l’Histoire de France). 😎 Ça permet de travailler avec les mains libres (pas besoin de vérifier la procédure sur sa tablette) et surtout ça évite de recourir trop souvent au Centre de contrôle. Une manière d’opérer cruciale en vue des futures expéditions lointaines pour lesquels il y aura inévitablement des décalages de communication. Depuis Mars, la voix d’un astronaute devrait mettre une vingtaine de minutes à parvenir sur Terre… !
Using augmented reality lenses to inspect our treadmill, yes clicking in mid-air won’t make it work better, I realise that. Although astronauts have to be proficient at many things and have training, we have (lots of) limits to our knowledge and skills 😁. We rely on mission control for everything, to help us and guide us and lend a helping hand. But if you have ever tried to help somebody fix their computer, or instruct them to do a difficult task over the phone, you will know how difficult it is! No not that thingy, the other thingy! 😜 Space agencies are constantly trying to improve the process and augmented reality is another test, allowing us both hands to work with as well as avoiding the necessity to stop what we are doing to move to the next step on a checklist on our tablets. Win-win possibly?
