Why do I continue to buy small animals?

 

At least I finally have all the solid color parrots :)

Today I did a little bit of trespassing and explored where once the houses of our neighbours stood.

Most of the houses in my old street are being destroyed, just because some investor didn't keep his promise to renovate them, neglected them long enough for politicians to let him do as he always wanted, destroy it all and replace it with ugly modern buildings.

The money grabbing builder promises to restore the houses.... then takes so much time the buildings fall apart and then a politician quickly sneaks permission by the council to demolish the lot.

I bet that that was what they wanted all along.

Luckily my mother refused to be bought and is staying in her house, or that would now be going as well.

Highly depressing to see my childhood neighbourhood destroyed, even though architects, investors, politicians and city planners have been raping and destroying one of the last original Victorian Station-neighbourhoods since the 1970s, it is still a shame to see some of the last visions of that past go.

 

Responsible for this crime against history are the Geste company and politician Norder, one being the money grabbing criminal, the other the negligent politician.

A bit of a gem in Springvale. It's the only place I know of that serves a delicious crab soup with mung bean noodles.

Link: bit.ly/fatareport | Reports and Photographs from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan.

 

Published in November 2014, the report features photos taken by young photographers from FATA, examples of everyday life in Mohmand, Khyber, Kurram and South Waziristan agencies. Images of the iconic Khyber Pass and many towns along the border with Afghanistan lend a real-life dimension to this largely unknown, and often ignored or misrepresented region of Pakistan. In a part of the world where photography is uncommon, these photographs depict subtle interactions of FATA citizens at work, at school and during informal moments throughout the tribal areas.

 

The report text, entitled "The Struggle for Rights and Reforms in Pakistan's Tribal Areas" describes the history and trajectory of reform demands made by Pakistani citizens, civil society groups and the people of FATA. Also included are quotes from citizens and political leaders, collected to show opinions and visions for the future of FATA. Voices included demonstrate a strong desire for equal rights and equal participation in the context of Pakistan's evolving democracy.

 

For those who know the tribal areas well, this report may serve as a reminder of the great number of Pakistanis working for a brighter future for FATA. For those previously not aware of the political activities in FATA, the report may provide a new and unique glimpse at the diverse richness of the culture and people in Pakistan's tribal areas.

 

The 75 photographs were carefully selected from over 1,000 that were submitted for review. All are from young photographers between the ages of 17 and 30, from varied socio-economic backgrounds in FATA. Without their efforts and talent, the report would not have been possible. Many thanks to the photographers--and those featured in their work--for the privilege of sharing these images and the stories they tell.

 

Photographers: Alimgir Khan, Ammad Ahmed Khan, Azmatullah, Faryal Mohmmand, Faisal Khan, Huma Gul, Irfan Ali, Jebran Yousefzia, Rizwan Bhittani, Rohida, Saba Rehman, Sara Qayum, Seema Gul and Shah Jehan.

Two bits of keyring, on paper.

 

(HDR: both the single sheet of paper and that with the keyring on were processed using align_image_stack to generate an HDR image, tonemapped simply using Photoshop; both images blended in PS and then finished in Darktable.)

Bit of a slow day today and I didnt get some of the stuff done that I wanted to, but I got to vid call with Hal and Cat and do some painting, and it was so chill and lovely 💖💖💖

Good session at the Climbing Works with friends and then a cool ride home the 'long way round' !! :)

Partnering with the Danish Museum of Science and Technology, InfinIT, a Danish network for innovative utilization of IT, Cotter (Laser Cutting Services) and VRKSTEDET (Underbroen) we created a Bits & Beers to kickstart our newest venture - a series of workshops called "From Old Patents to New Prototypes".

 

Our theme was 'crazy inventions that can change the world' and our speakers included some very special people who have contributed to our world!

And a F-16 Jet

 

The Danish Museum of Science and Technology has a F-16 Jet on loan, and Bits & Beers guests were welcome to get up close and personal, and even sit in the cockpit!

Bit sad it was nearly time to go home. Weather was good again. It had been a fine week.

I thought this was really whimsical compared to the typical graffiti you find on trains.

 

I just took this film from January to be developed this past week.

A bit of a typical classic London scene this one with Big Ben and a double decker bus. Shame about the work being done on the Houses of Parliament which is slightly spoiling this shot - I don't seem to have a lot of luck when visiting historic buildings - when I visited India the Taj Mahal was covered in scaffolding as well!

After practicing a bit on scrap paper I put together a page for the first exercise in class. Each image was stamped with commercial stamps and at least two colors of twinks. I let the stamps dry overnight and then went back in to detail with a micron pen and brush in some lighter colors as accents.

 

The sandcastle looked a bit bland until I remembered how when we were kids we would always build ours close to the edge of the water in order to have sea water run through the tunnels and moat we built under and around the castle. Adding in the touches of Mediterranean Blue for the water perked it up and made it seem more interesting.

The Mitaka Awa Odori is one of the most important dance festivals around Tokyo.
