The bands at the Fry Street Fair were usually at the north end of Fry Street, where it intersects with West Oak. The Corkscrew--a great beer and wine store--is in the background. The camera is looking east-northeast from the west side of Fry Street.
1985 Fry Street Fair scene. I believe that these folks are on the east side of Fry Street by the Flying Tomato. I believe that you can find this shot in "The Fry Street Neighborhood" by Williams and Couture.
Looking south towards the University of North Texas campus at the intersection of Fry and West Hickory. I think that's the Language Arts Building in the background. I'll have to check and see if the phone kiosk is still there. Those things are becoming obsolete in the age of the cell phone.
From the 1982 Fry Street Fair, looking south on Fry towards the University of North Texas Campus. The Art Building is visible in the background to the left, as is the Speech and Drama Building (barely). The Language Arts Building is to the right in the background.
I got home from school, and heard a really annoying dog barking.... and at first I was just pissed off because I didn't know where it was coming from.
Then I walked over towards my neighbors yard and saw a dog just sitting there staring at me.
I told it to come here and it just sat there... So I walked up to the dumb dog. Its body was shoved under neith the fence, and I was like oh my F in jeez n junk you are stuck doggie! So... I tried to rip the doggie out from under the fence and he would not budge... so i ran inside and as I ran away he started crying like a little baby. Then I came back with my camera and he wasn't stuck anymore. He was back in the back yard he was placed at. I guess my neighbor got a new dog.... so I went into my neighbors yard and decided to play with it for a little... but it wouldn't stop barking so I left.
Week 36
My 21st brithday. This week was my birthweek and what a weird birthweek it was. It almost feels like none of what happened happened. I started the week off in New Hampshire filming a short film with Teddy and a group of amazing people. My birthday in particular wasn't anything too spectacular. Just another shoot day. Teddy and I did go out and take photos but none of them really came out to my liking. It was a great night of exploration though which was nice. I came back from New Hampshire on Wednesday and stopped by George at college and picked up Scott before adventuring around the Seaport which is one of my favorite places to take photos! The brand new glass buildings right on the water make for some beautiful bokeh and lighting situations. I ended up coming back to see George the next day as well just for fun and we took more photos and explored a bit more. Now I am in Chicago on a business trip and we start shooting tomorrow. I can't wait to get back in the field. What a crazy week I have ahead of me.
I can't wait to see what this next week will bring!
In the Osirian language a helicopter is most often called an Akhiwereryet, or "flying chariot." This is especially the case for the Nauaphoph, or "serpent-fly" ("dragonfly"). This massive attack helicopter gunship was conceived as a specialist vehicle for the Osirian Army and Marines. Operating mostly from land bases, it provides close air support to troops on the ground and can carry a platoon of infantry in its cargo bay. Its thick armor protects it from many different kinds of threats, while it is armed to the teeth with a 25mm autocannon and eight hardpoints, as well as provisions for two door guns.
This helicopter was modified from an existing, much older design into the configuration seen today. The changes were many. First an entirely new tail fin was added to reduce wait and re-stabilize the aircraft. Horizontal stabilizers/elevons were also added where the previous helicopter had none. The hull was extensively modified, filling in a lot of empty space and adding armor, removing the strange rear cockpit and associated weapons and adding more space for troops or cargo. Replacing the struts carrying the rockets pods are now two wings carrying a much greater assortment of weaponry in addition to modified rocket pods carrying [40?] rockets each. Above all this, the rotor section was entirely reworked to add two turbines to propel the helicopter, where the previous version, again, had none. There is however little space to accommodate turbines, and as such, the Nauaphoph is seen as being underpowered and sometimes having difficulty accelerating to speed. This combined with its mediocre agility has earned it the moniker "Nauapnant," or "serpent-slug." Lastly, the nose-mounted machine gun turret was removed, as was the oversized underslung missile launcher, replaced with a nose cone and a 25mm cannon turret, respectively. The cockpits were modified to give the pilots greater visibility and the forward cheek-mounted machine guns were changed for smoke grenade launchers, to provide cover for troop landings.
Perhaps sluggish, but nonetheless very powerful and effective, the Nauaphoph seeks to serve the Osirian military as their primary attack gunship for many more years into the future.
Based on the old Dino Attack set.
