ALPHA BETA // prototyping a caribbean style skirt for xalaat african dance team using bedsheets. a circle skirt is hand gathered to the yoke and each ruffle is serged on either side with a tight and narrow overlock stitch, then applied with a straight stitch using a ruffling foot attachment.
As a lifelong tokusatsu fan, the Ultraman franchise has always been my favourite. The show Ultraman is about a human being able to transform into a silver giant alien, combats monsters (kaijus) from all over the world, as a peacekeeper of the Earth and the entire universe.
To express my affection to Ultraman, I wanted to reproduce his iconic transformation item *Beta capsule* in LEGO form. The prominent red button is the button that the host presses in order to unlock his transformation ability.

Alpha Beta began as a merchandising concept rather than as a store name.
Albert and Hugh Gerrard had been operating food stores in Southern California since 1900 and had been early adopters of a self-service system in 1914. Their Triangle Grocerteria (at 329 West Second Street, Pasadena) began arranging groceries alphabetically in 1915, the beginning of the “Alpha Beta system”.

On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being rolled out to the general public in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015)

This photograph was taken in the magic of The Golden Hour around Sunrise, (Sunrise was at precisely 07:39am), at an altitude of Three metres, at 07:20am on Thursday January 28th 2016 off Botany Road and Marine Drive, on the sandy shoreline of Botany Bay in Broadstairs, Kent, England.
I set off at 05:00am on a clear morning, the moon and the stars out to dazzle in temperatures around five degrees, on a pleanst hour and half long journey to enjoy a lovely sunrise. The seven bays in Broadstairs consist of: (From south to north) Dumpton Gap, Louisa Bay, Viking Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Kingsgate Bay and Botany Bay.

Egyptian Wonder Woman is pretty self explanatory; I was very happy to use the parts from a spare King Tut along with the spare WW torso I had lying around, and they worked incredibly well together.
Tyrant Superman is pretty blatantly coming from my excitement for Injustice 2. I've been playing the beta like crazy the last couple of days.
Sheriff Batman was most definitely an opportunity for me to use an extra cowl I've had from all of the mix-and-matching I do with my purist figures.
This artist’s view shows the planet orbiting the young star Beta Pictoris. This exoplanet is the first to have its rotation rate measured. Its eight-hour day corresponds to an equatorial rotation speed of 100 000 kilometres/hour — much faster than any planet in the Solar System.

Shooting this wasn't very easy! After I took him outside for better light the water was a bit murky...ugh...but you can see her colors.
