Now that soccer season is over for a bit I finally got out my camera for some non sports photos. I was looking at other pics on the web and got a little inspiration for this so set things up pretty quick and got to shooting.
I had the SB-600 setup facing me fired by the D90 in commander mode and a LP-120 setup at about 45 degrees camera right. The LP-120 was lower which cast the cool shadow in the back. I then post processed it to give it a gritty kind of feel which I like for this shot.
The best part was trying to hold the remote in such a way that it didn't really show up. I finally settled on holding it under my thumb on the fore grip.
We crocheted potholders from organic woold yarn that we naturally dyed with logwood, and cotton yarn for the trim. These were mailed to the hostess for the Bits of Goodness Play Kitchen Swap.
This bit of the Festival was a bit of a special one for me. As i started the day front row...decided to wonder about...got back though thick crowd and managed a shoulder lift to end the night. Never thought I'd do that at my age somehow.
I was looking up how to create an 8bit character in Illustrator. I followed this tutorial, but I used an image of Bruce Lee. It took about 4 hours.

bringing the outdoors in ~
wall: used to be fake wood paneling from 1961. we covered it with this barn wood salvaged from an outbuilding awhile back.
window: used to be a wierd 60's window...we replaced it with this stained glass window from the garage from my husband's childhood (we have put this window in each of the three houses we've lived in...we just keep bringing it with us... :) this is the last house, no more moving.
mantle: from my sister-in-law's kitchen. she threw it out...we grabbed it. it replaced the skinny, fake wood mantle & surprisingly...fit perfectly! no adjustments needed.
vase: handmade pottery from thrift store
plumosa: from a pot in my garden

Saga Master System Joystick and Wico Command Stick. Both original 1980s vintage, look and work fantastic.
La Regione Molise presenta al bit le sue peculiarità storiche: l''Homo Aeserniensis', la citta' sannita di Pietrabbondante (Isernia), la citta' imperiale di Altilia (Campobasso), il teatro romano di Larino (Campobasso) per terminare con l'Abbazia Benedettina di San Vincenzo al Volturno (Isernia).
Bit of a flap going on
Bit of an update, I entered this photo in a local competition under the subject Community and won 1st place in that category. Chuffed to bits I was. I got a commended as well for a photo of a bee.
Here is the link, it's the 2007 comp I was in.
Malmö, November -13
Me and Johanna was in Malmö for a Sigur Rós concert. These pictures are taken before we went to the bus to get back home.
Bit OTT for my tastes but again that is what Lamborghini is all about and I truly respect that. Name of this model is a mouthful tho...
I'm sewing really long strips with the 1.5 inch width pieces. Then I'll cut them to about 40 inches, press them, sew five strips together, add a white strip to each side and then cut five blocks from each sewn set. I admit it, this is my idea of fun :)
Sharing a Little Bit of Albany History
By Joe Licavoli
On February 2nd, students from West Albany High School finally got to meet and know a little bit about their next-door neighbors from NETL’s Albany site. As part of continuing outreach efforts by both NETL and other community leaders, 28 advanced placement (AP) chemistry students attended a two-and-a-half hour set of talks at the Albany Regional Museum. These talks focused on Albany’s specialty metals history on the production of zirconium and titanium. In planning the event, NETL’s Joseph Licavoli worked with Sylvia Harvey (Teacher at West Albany High), Howard Poppleton (Retired—US Bureau of Mines), Mark Sidall (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Dennis Emerson (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Barry Valder (Retired—ATI Wah Chang), Judy Weissert (Director, Albany Regional Museum) and Mae Yih (Retired State Senator). The talks included an introduction to materials science, the history of specialty metals processing in Albany, and current/future uses of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, and tantalum.
After the talks, students and speakers held casual conversations about careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields and about specific research topics that had been discussed.
Mae Yih graciously offered to provide lunch for the students as well. Students were very engaged in the talks and grateful for the opportunity to discuss science with people that have helped make Albany a key player in metallurgy over the years. As part of her “Albany Renaissance” project, Mae Yih is sponsoring an essay contest for Albany area schools with this year’s topic focusing on the metal titanium and its uses. This essay contest and the high school visit are a part of ongoing efforts by members of the Albany community to help advance STEM education and bring more attention to the strong influence and positive effects that metallurgical processing facilities have had in shaping Albany’s history

The small firm I worked for didn't initially have all of the raw materials. I had my own little collection of bits which I had procured from the bicycle factory. This brake bridge was originally stamped Gipiemme, which is still faintly visible on the pitted surface of the metal.
This frame and all of those built within the first couple of months were a product of enthusiasm and self belief. I so much wanted to be a framebuilder and I knew it was likely my only chance. Fortunately, my luck held out long enough to see me master the necessary skills and acquire jigs and tools to do the job more easily.
If I had produced this frame last week, I perhaps wouldn't be so proud as I was back then. In 1988, it marked another notch on the frame tally and gave me the experience to continue and further my skills. I persevered with the fillet brazing and after some practice, a change of brazing rods and equipment, in the spring of 88, it clicked. I started producing uniformly shaped, beautifully smooth joints that soon flowed from my fingers without even thinking about it. I had been inspired by George Longstaff in particular who I was lucky enough to meet on several occasions in the years that followed. He was even complimentary about my work. Praise indeed.
