My annual weekend trip to London, which gives me Saturday afternoon, evening and Sunday morning out and about wandering where ever I want to go. My daughters (and a coach load of ladies) are on the trip so I do have some other commitments on Saturday evening. Travelling at the beginning of November we were earlier than previous years so, although the decorations were in place, London wasn't as colourful as previous visits. I had decided to walk across to Little Venice as it isn't far from our hotel at Marble Arch and I hadn't been before. Having walked along the canal at home all summer chasing wildlife I wasn't impressed by a canal in London, it was windy so no reflections in the water and I left fairly soon. I'd seen Paddington Rail Station on the map not far away so I headed there. I got my camera out for the first time, it was fairly quiet and there weren't any restrictions on cameras (as far as I could see) I made eye contact with quite a few of the staff and smiled and nodded, as I would back home, and got quite a pleasant reception, no worries about me and my backpack and camera. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the station was. I did a nine mile circle taking in Hyde Park , Piccadilly, Regent Street and Oxford Street. The London to Brighton run was on the following day so Regent Street was shut with many of the cars and loads of other transport related stuff on display. It was busy and the light was going so I didn't bother taking many photos. The cars were leaving Hyde Park just down the road from our hotel at dawn on Sunday but I couldn't muster enough enthusiasm to walk down even though I was up early. I grabbed some window and people shots on Oxford Street. Some of the Christmas displays were already in place, most notably Selfridge's, some of the displays were behind temporary work barriers as a new pavement was being laid and I couldn't get to the window, I decided to go back on Sunday morning and climb over them-which I did, Oxford street was very quiet just after 8.00 am and I got my shots.
On Sunday I walked a ten mile circle out to the Thames South Bank, on to the Shard and Tower Bridge. I went across in to The City and wound my way back to Hyde Park. We had really good journeys both ways and the coach driver did the journey home without a break, he was able to get back to the depot and park up inside his 4 1/2 hours driving time which I think is a first in 16 years. I walked home from Slaithwaite and rounded my weekend mileage to twenty miles, this is the furthest I've walked since I had reconstructive surgery on my right foot at the end of February. I wasn't particularly fired up for the trip after one of the most difficult years I can remember-and that's saying something-so I struggled to find something to get enthused about which is probably why I didn't take any photos at Little Venice and very few at Regents Street.
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill joined federal and state elected officials for today’s announcement that the Boeing T-X Advanced Pilot Training System, which includes 350 aircraft and ground-based training and support, will be built at their St. Louis facility if awarded the contract from the United States Air Force.
“Today’s announcement is further proof that Boeing’s St. Louis workforce is among the best and most innovative in the country,” said McCaskill, a senior member of the Armed Services Committee. “Boeing’s T-X program is truly the future of U.S. Air Force training and the right choice for training future generations of pilots right here in Missouri.”
The Boeing T-X is part of the complete advanced pilot training system and includes state-of-the-art ground-based training and a maintenance-friendly design for long-term supportability. The T-X jet includes a flexible and reconfigurable cockpit to allow a maximum range of training options, and a fighter-like design and performance.
McCaskill has consistently supported the work of Boeing St. Louis and the quality of its workforce of more than 14,000 Missourians, including praising the Super Hornet as a reliable, cost-effective part of America’s air power. The bipartisan bill McCaskill supported to fund the government included additional funding for Super Hornets, among other Missouri benefits.
Earlier this year, McCaskill applauded Secretary of Defense James Mattis for ordering the Pentagon to review the F-35 fighter jet—which has been plagued by cost-overruns and missed deadlines—including a comparison to the F-18 Super Hornet.

with a tiny mallet. Impressive commitment, getting it done like that, and makes it feel, at least to me, less like the cultural tourism that makes me uneasy about getting tattoos inspired by a culture you're not from.

My neighbour's daughter got married two days back. It was a traditional Rajput marraige. They r still rooted to their village, so everything is took place in a very traditional way.
For the Photographer I used for this assignment was Paul Strand a key figure in modernist photography, revolutionized the medium through his innovative approach and deep commitment to capturing the essence of urban landscapes. I had gotten inspiration from his photographs to search for stairs to capture with the use of stairs and shadows. A staircase that plays with shadows lines and geometric shapes. Paul Strand was known for his distinctive portrayal of everyday objects, he masterfully infused his works with a profound sense of abstract thinking and use of geometry. Strand's work often demonstrates a massive appreciation for the use of light and shadow, He used shadows to complement the geometry in his works with a keen eye on the structural elements of his subjects.
When photographing, Strand used a variety of techniques to accentuate geometry of these architectural structures. He often used strong contrasts to emphasize the difference between lights and shadows, therefore highlighting the intricate textures and lines of the object (in my case the stairs.) He would create visually stunning images that emphasized the beauty in the seemingly mundane of objects or situations. Like stairs and shadow's In addition, Strand used his perspective and framing allowing for his creation of images that offered a fresh perspective on the familiar, inviting viewers to come with hidden narratives embedded within these seemingly ordinary structures. Of course in an urban place such as New York where Strand was born and would capture a majority of his pieces. With his keen eye for detail and profound understanding of form, The few photographs I gained inspiration from Strand in his photographs of steps it invites his audiences to engage with the complexities of the urban environment in an entirely new light. Viewing relatively normal objects and scenes with again new light and new perspective.
Veterans’ cricket offers rather different pleasures from other forms of the game. It is usually short, because we seniors have other commitments like work, families, and so on, and because few of us can stand up on the field for too long, neve r mind run, dive, throw or do much else. It is also leisurely, with no bouncers whistling past a batsman’s ears, no bats desperately outstretched to beat lightning throws, and no sliding stops and brilliant dives — those only happen when one of us tries to bend, falls over, and unintentionally impedes the ball’s progress. The veterans’ game is also played in good humour; no serious and determined expressions, only jovial reminiscing about whether we can get into our flannels (were we really that slim once?), and many warm handshakes for teammates and opponents.
Well MCC and their recent visitors, the Irish Taverners, played the game in the true veterans’ spirit when the Taverners concluded a week-long tour of India with a match against an MCC veterans’ XI at Chepauk on February 16. The Taverners had played the CCI at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and had then had a game in Pune, where the great Chandu Borde had turned out against them. Now, having thawed out from their northern winter, they warmed up properly in the blue-white heat of a Chennai morning.
The half-past-nine start drifted towards a ten o’clock start as variations of the laws were agreed upon and the hosts tried to conjure up two more players from thin air (well the air was thin). The Taverners lent MCC two fielders, many photographs were taken, the toss was negotiated, and two famous players opened the bowling against the Taverners’ former Ireland opening bat and his partner.
Those watching sat with the large visitors’ party — which included an Irish women’s international — on the pavilion’s covered patio, chatting about whatever cricketers of mature years chat about when watching a game in happy company and peaceful surroundings.
The occasional clump of bat on ball brought a ripple of applause, bowlers took turns, substitutes came and went, and some took a stroll round the — substantially shortened — boundary. Deep fielders said what the ball was doing on the pitch’s generous coating of grass, lime-juice cooled the players down, and the Taverners closed their innings on 94-7 off 25 overs.
MCC’s formidable batsmen got the runs relatively easily, off ten or eleven overs, and well before the winning boundary those in the pavilion were socialising over cold beer. A shower, a tour of the magnificent new Test match dressing-rooms, and short but plentiful presentations preceded a fine buffet lunch. The Taverners were deeply appreciative of the chance to play on a famous Test ground, and the hosts were graciously unassuming about their long history of cricket at the very highest level. MCC and the Irish Taverners hope to meet again on and off the field, and for one long past what was only ever a moderate best, it had been an enchanting way to learn that much happy cricket yet awaits.

In May of 2009, we traveled to Haryana, India to produce a documentary film so that we can spread the creative model and accomplishments of the Sehgal Foundation. We documented the progress the NGO made in their 2005 Commitment to Action plan with the Clinton Global Initiative. The foundation is composed of four different programs that all work together in a combined effort to better the quality of life for people living in small villages throughout India. The programs consist of water management, rural health, income enhancement, and life skills education. Photo by Juan Elizondo, Color by David Salazar.
