so, here we are... december 31, 2008...
after having completed one photo each week with my girls and myself.
i'm actually having quite mixed emotions about reaching this point.
on the one hand, it's awfully nice not to *have* to take a photo each week.
on the other hand, it was a great challenge to decide which pictures to take, and then to actually get them taken.
and furthermore... i found that i loved doing it.
i loved trying to capture our lives weekly, to help remember some of our favorite moments.
back in january 2008, when i began with what were essentially snapshots, i thought that i'd surely be trying to take more "artistic" pictures in the weeks to come.
as time went on, however, i realized that, rather than taking posed, head-on, smiling pictures... or rather than taking super-artsy ones... what i most enjoyed was trying to capture our lives just as they were.
and so i set out to take pictures of whatever was most important to us that week. nearly every holiday is represented in this 52 week journey, but even more common are photos of whatever else was going on in our lives, from swimming to nail-painting to dressing up to making cookies.
looking back, i love seeing how ella and annie have grown over the course of the year.
i also love re-living all of our memories.
mostly, though, i love having so many pictures of us together -- it's sweet and lovely and gratifying to look and say, it was one helluva year... but through it all, we had a blast, and i love looking back and remembering.
on a side note... i'm also proud of myself for actually completing this 52 week challenge.
as someone who struggles daily with major ADHD, following through on things isn't exactly my strong suit. ;)
i'm (in)famous for getting an idea, starting out with gusto, overestimating what i can do, and then petering off to nothing.
but this time, i actually managed to do it, to take a photo every single week.
and, frankly, i'm proud of me for doing it. :)
i don't know what 2009 holds...
but if it has anywhere near as many joyful memories with ella and annie, i'll be one grateful and happy mama. :)
i finally have all 4 books to complete the twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.

Lots of parts laying around. You never take enough pictures as I eventually found out when I put it back together.
That's it. No more of this stupid plan. I might collate it into an album or comic strip at some point, just to highlight how insane we are and how much effect we go to to prove we're racist :p

NORFOLK, Va. - Paul Thompson’s hat trick was the dagger Saturday night as the Albany Devils completed a weekend sweep over the Norfolk Admirals, 3-1, at Scope Arena.
Albany capitalized first on the power play at 9:41 of the first period after John Kurtz got called for interference. Raman Hrabarenka started the play below his own blue line by threading a pass to Mike Sislo at center ice. Sislo skated into the Norfolk zone up the left wall and dropped the puck back to the center point for an incoming Hrabarenka. The defenseman wristed the puck towards net, which Thompson deflected behind goaltender Ryan Faragher. The Admirals went into the first intermission down, 1-0.
The Devils doubled their lead early in the second period on another power play goal, this time with Matt Bailey in the box for tripping. Joe Whitney manned the point and sent the puck over to the left wall and Mike Sislo, who turned and swung a pass to Thompson on the goal line. Thompson took a stride to the bottom of the circle and threw the puck on goal, which beat Faragher at 3:12.
Albany’s two-goal lead only lasted about two minutes before Norfolk broke the shutout. Mark Fistric broke up an attempted Devils break-out play to corral the puck at the blue line. Antoine Laganiere picked it up and rimmed it all the way down the boards. Dave Steckel stopped the puck behind the cage and shoveled a pass up to Louis Leblanc, who backhanded it into the twine and cut the Devils’ advantage to 2-1 at 5:13 of the middle frame.
Thompson put the game away with 2:30 remaining. Brandon Montour blasted the puck on Scott Clemmensen, which took a big rebound back to the blue line. The Admirals’ defense was unable to keep it in, and Matt Lorito poked it out to a waiting Thompson. The right winger took off into the Admirals’ end all alone and wristed a shot through the legs of Faragher, giving Thompson a hat trick and Albany the 3-1 win.
Faragher made 16 saves on the 19 shots he faced, and Clemmensen saved 37 of Norfolk’s 38 opportunities. Norfolk was blanked on both of their power play attempts, while Albany went 2-for-5 on the man-advantage.
Red Weasel Media RWM was there to capture it all!
Now this piece has broken a few records for us. One - it’s been the longest project we’ve ever been involved with. Taking over 3 years from start to finish! Just before the pandemic the client, a building consultancy firm, got in touch about us painting a mural for their office in Oxford Circus but just before we could have a meeting - lockdown! Since then it’s been stop and start but we’ve finally completed it. Things have changed about a bit in that time though. No longer is it a wall mural but a piece painted on some lovely bespoke wooden artist’s boards so that the client can take them if they ever move offices. Which brings me onto record two. It’s the largest piece we’ve painted that isn’t a wall.
After lockdown was over we managed to have a face to face meeting and then went back to the lab to come up with some designs. It was a pretty open brief but it was mentioned that a few people in the office had sausage dogs so maybe we could incorporate that into the design somehow. Eventually ‘Digger Dog’ was selected and refined and we could finally get to work. Given the size of the boards we had to work outside and the wettest July on record did not help at all with the schedule. Reaching completion was a joyous moment given how long it had been in the works.
Created on some lovely bespoke 150cm x 75cm museum quality artist boards using spray paint, stencils and paint pens, ‘Digger Dog’ was a pretty epic project. I just hope we get to use those boards again. They were a joy to work with.
Cheers

Italy. Florence (Firenze).
Piazza del Duomo.
The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (English, "Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower") is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici decided to have the dome painted with a representation of The Last Judgment. This enormous work, 3,600 metres² (38 750 ft²) of painted surface, was started in 1568 by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari and would last till 1579. The upper portion, near the lantern, representing The 24 Elders of Apoc. 4 was finished by Vasari before his death in 1574. Federico Zuccari and a number of collaborators, such as Domenico Cresti, finished the other portions: (from top to bottom) Choirs of Angels; Christ, Mary and Saints; Virtues, Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Beatitudes; and at the bottom of the cuppola: Capital Sins and Hell. These frescoes are considered Zuccari's greatest work. But the quality of the work is uneven because of the input of different artists and the different techniques. Vasari had used true fresco, while Zuccari had painted in secco. During the restoration work ended in 1995, the entire pictorial cycle of the The Last Judgment was photographed with specially designed equipment and all the information collected in a catalogue. All the restoration information along with reconstructed images of the frescos were stored and managed in the Thesaurus Florentinus computer system.

With a little careful adjustment the focusing is buttery-smooth! A great feature of using an acme screw rather than a traditional rack and pinion is that focus remains securely locked wherever you leave it. No additional knobs to tighten, just focus with the big knob and leave it - it will NOT move. There isn't even any backlash! Of course the drawer slides play a significant role in both the great extent and great stability of the focus movement. They do add some weight, but they sure work well.

The Hiatt Middle School community threw a 13th birthday party for Justin Chey on Thursday, October 31st.
Already shouldering lots of responsibility at home where he helped care for ailing grandparents, cooked meals while his mother was at work and pitched in financially by working odd jobs, he collapsed one day at school due to a cancerous brain tumor that was causing extreme headaches and nausea which had been chalked up to flu. Since it was diagnosed the tumor’s required two surgeries, the second of which was just yesterday, and chemotherapy and radiation treatments are the next steps. Since that bad news broke there has been an outpouring of good tidings spearheaded by, but hardly limited to, the Hiatt community. Today the staff and student body there really embraced Justin and his family, with considerable help from one new found friend in particular.
