Oakland has something of a reputation for being a crime center, the murder rate per citizen surpasses that of any other place and the general feel in the streets in many areas is one of uneasyness and tension.
This, however, is part of south Berkeley, close to the Ashby Bart station, 10 blocks from where we live, and 1 block from where we rent our car from. Someone set a fire in the back of the house, in the alley, and when the firefighters arrived, they found in an upstairs apartment, all of two machine guns, a 50-caliber sniper's rifle, two dozen military assault rifles, assorted shotguns and handguns, a pair of bullet proof vests, as well as 178 marihuana plants.
Good thing they had taken the assault tank out for a ride to have a look at the poppy operation two blocks down.
I got a new 50mm lens!
I know I have said this before, but I really think this wig looks good on her.
Todays photo comes from the inside of Alcatraz. I am not sure which cell block this is but I think it might be C. All of the cells in this block are 5 feet by 9 feet. As you can see it is a pretty gloomy place. I can't imagine being confined to one of these cells that is smaller than the bathroom in my house. This was taken in the middle of the self guided tour, which was really pretty good. If you look closely you can see headphones on some of the people in the shot. Everyone inside is being guided by the voices on their headphones and it kind of adds a weird feeling to an already creepy place. Kind of like a prison full of happy zombies.
On a techinal note, due to the fact that it was kind of dark inside, I was shooting 100iso film and didn't have a tripod, I was forced to include all of the other people who were wandering the blocks. If I had had a tripod I would have used a much longer exposure and tried to blur the other people a bit more.

The Centre Block of the Parliament of Canada. The building's construction was begun in 1916, after the original building, built from 1859 to 1866, was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1916. The new building was closely modelled on the original; it was designed by John A. Pearson and Jean-Omer Marchand. The new building's construction took some time; the Peace Tower was only completed in 1927, and the stone carvings in the interior spaces weren't finished until the 1970s.
I've finally made the corporate decision that the scrim will have a white background.....after much deliberation! Nothing seemed to work with the flowered background under the scrim.
I think simple stitching, cutwork and appliqué now. I may take off the pocket.
Any suggestions 'girls'.... on anything on this block :)
I made this one up! Though that doesn't mean that it doesn't already exist as I can't believe there are infinite variations on a 12.5 inch HST block!
