My contribution to Light Grey Art Lab's Color Anthropology show! I based my illustration off of mummy brown, a pigment made in the 16th and 17th century from ground up cat and human mummies. Weird, right?
We honor Juneteenth by celebrating African Americans' contributions to our nation and supporting black-owned businesses. Here's to celebrating freedom today and every day!
"If there is just about anything to rejoice about, it can be my ancestors, African People who survived the atrocity and stain of slavery…I honor them these days with a guarantee that I will keep on to combat for your unexplored desires and hopes." — Viola Davis, Actress, Author, and Producer.
Raising awareness: What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth, or Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States on June 19. It commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and the end of slavery in the United States.
The history of Juneteenth dates back to June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, which declared that all slaves in Texas were free. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation officially abolished slavery in the Confederate states on January 1, 1863. However, due to the minimal presence of Union troops in Texas, the proclamation was not effectively enforced until General Granger's arrival.
Juneteenth celebrations typically involve various activities, including parades, picnics, cookouts, family gatherings, music, dancing, and educational events. It is a time for African Americans and others to reflect on their ancestors' struggles and achievements and celebrate freedom and equal rights.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to recognize Juneteenth as a national holiday in the United States. On June 17, 2021, it was officially declared a federal holiday when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. This designation makes Juneteenth the 12th federal holiday and the first new one to be added since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983.
The recognition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday is seen as an essential step in acknowledging the historical significance of emancipation and the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States. It provides an opportunity for all Americans to learn about and honor the contributions of African Americans to the nation's history and culture.

Thanks for the tag Michaela (summersun) and Marcela (Marcela Gorga). I quickly did the redress that I have been waiting for since end of Jan (my gift set arrived only yesterday) - and contribute this to celebrate the date. For semantics' sake I just had to replace "Women" by "Ladies".... so, give me an "L" for LOVELY.

My contribution to this year's Thanksgiving feast. Injected with apple juice. Coated with olive oil and rubbed with sage, crushed thyme and Hardcore Carnivore Black seasoning. Seared on the Masterbuilt 1050 at 475 degrees to make a good bark and hold in the juices. Backed the smoker down to 265 and placed on the top rack until 160 degrees internal. I almost always use postoak for smoke. Drizzled with roasted raspberry and chipotle glaze. Had a great bark and smokering. Tender and juicy inside.
I'll close this week's contributions to Roll Film Week with a salute to the man who actually took the photos: my dad. Here he is with two of my sisters at Rockaway Beach in the New York borough of Queens, in the early 1950s.
Like the other photos I've posted this week, he shot this using his Kodak 3A "pocket" camera, which created huge (3.25 by 5.5 inch) negatives.
I'm guessing this is a self-timer selfie because of the low angle—it looks like he set the camera on the sand (or a beach towel!). Also, he's a little blurry, which says to me he sprinted into position after setting a self timer.
This photo also beautifully illustrates the wonderfully soft depth of field that the camera's huge film format and Schneider lens produced.
It's been fun sharing these treasures, which are part of an archive that I've been assembling for the last three years—currently at 2300 scans and growing.

Earth Day - 22nd April 2009! my contribution
The Himba are an ethnic group of about 20,000 to 50,000 people living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene region (formerly Kaokoland). They are a nomadic, pastoral people, closely related to the Herero, and speak the same language.
The Himba wear little clothing, but the women are famous for covering themselves with a mixture of butter fat, ochre, and herbs to protect themselves from the sun. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge. The mixture symbolizes earth's rich red color and the blood that symbolizes life, and is consistent with the Himba ideal of beauty. Women braid each other's hair and cover it in their ochre mixture (called otjize in their langauge).

I'm sorry that this has been my sole contribution to the December challenge, but there's been a lot going on in my life. My mum has been moved to a small rehab unit (not that sort of rehab!) at a hospital closer to my parents' home in Kent, and is now able to get in and out of bed, sit in a chair and walk a bit further. She is hoping to be back home with my dad before Christmas. Let's hope it's a Happy Christmas for everyone!

The "Piazza del Vento" derives from Renzo Piano's inspiration, as a contribution that he offered to Salone Nautico and the city of Genova. The author of the project is the architectural firm OBR run by Paolo Brescia and Tommaso Principi, who conceived it for the 57° edition of the Genoa Boat Show.
The project, strongly wanted by Ucina Confindustria Nautica with Spim support, represents the legacy of Salone Nautico to the city: "a collective and multisensorial installation designed for a temporary event turning into a permanent public artwork, where to celebrate the rite of urbanity on the sea, thus enhancing the strong link between Salone Nautico and Genova", as Paolo Brescia explained.
OBR designed a "field" of 57 masts in red maple wood and white steel, 12 meters tali and bound together with textile stay-cables with dacron jibs inferred ono On the top of each mast a windex is placed,.sewing coloured spinnaker's fabric highlighting the direction and the intensity of the wind. Among the masts, some double seat swings are placed, where to sit as couple in the shade of the sails while looking toward the sea.
Cooperating with the musician Roberto Pugliese, Margherita Del Grosso and Matteo Orlandi have created the sound field activated by the action of the wind: a system of brass rods of different length, arranged according to a precise spatial scheme among the masts, reflects the sounds of the mare nostrum with chords trom a Mediterranean musical scale "played" by the wind.
The installation also involves the poet and street artist Ivan Tresoldi, who performs with his group Artkademy together with the visitors of Salone Nautico creating the anamorphosis: "Who throws seeds in the wind will make the sky flourish".
-----------------------------------------------------------
La "Piazza del Vento" nasce da un'ispirazione di Renzo Piano, come contributo offerto al Salone Nautico e alla città di Genova. Autore del progetto è lo studio d'architettura OBR di Paolo Brescia e Tommaso Principi, che lo ha ideato per la 57° edizione del Salone Nautico di Genova.
L'intervento, fortemente voluto da Ucina Confindustria Nautica con il supporto di Spim, rappresenta l'eredità del Salone alla città: "un'installazione multisensoriale collettiva nata per un evento temporaneo che diventa un'opera pubblica permanente, in cui celebrare il rito dell'urbanità sul mare, sancendo' così il legame indissolubile tra il Salone Nautico e Genova", come ha spiegato Paolo Brescia.
OBR ha immaginato un "campo" di 57 alberi in legno di acero rosso e acciaio bianco alti 12 metri e strallati tra loro con sartie in tessile su cui sono inferiti dei fiocchi in dacron. Sulla sommità degli alberi sono installati dei segnavento cuciti con tessuti di spinnaker colorati che
danno evidenza della direzione e dell'intensità del vento. Tra alcuni alberi sono ricavate delle altalene doppie da utilizzare in coppia, all'ombra delle vele e con vista mare.
Collaborando con il musicista Roberto Pugliese, Margherita Del Grosso e Matteo Orlandi hanno ideato un campo sonoro attivato dall'azione del vento: un sistema di canne d'ottone di diversa lunghezza, disposte secondo un preciso schema spaziale tra gli alberi, restituisce le sonorità del mare nostrum con degli accordi secondo una scala musicale mediterranea "suonata" dal vento.
L'installazione vede anche il coinvolgimento del poeta e artista di strada Ivan Tresoldi che, con il suo gruppo Artkademy, realizza una performance con il pubblico del Salone Nautico creando l'anamorfosi: "Chi getta semi al vento farà fiorire il cielo".

My contribution to National Volunteer Week.
In September 2002 I met Richard Maurer at the Western Railway Museum. He took me and my brother around the barns, even into off-limits areas. After that we took a spin out on the line where I shot his portrait in his motorman attire.
I was working on a story about preserved trolley operations in California so we agreed to meet again at San José two weeks later where he gladly sorted the yellow Birney Safety Car out of the barn. He even let me operate it on the museum tracks. A true volunteer at heart.

Here is my contribution to the Time Isles collaboration at BrickCon, where me and several others all built floating islands depicting important events in world history. This build is based in Florence, Italy, where the Italian Renaissance started. I wanted to make the base half-circular and include an interior to a building, which was an interesting challenge. I think it turned out alright in the end, though I wish I had time to add furniture and more minifigures in the building. The bent bricks for the base were a pain, as they kept falling apart, but it was a really fun technique to use. The cathedral is based on the main cathedral in Florence; that's where I got inspiration for the white and sand green colorscheme which is pretty unusual. I also really like how the small gray building turned out, and I'm glad I got another chance to use that cool arch technique.
Let me know what you guys think, thanks for looking!
This full size Hawker Hurricane replica, standing near the River Thames in Windsor, is a memorial to Sir Sydney Camm and his contribution to British aircraft design.
Sir Sydney Camm, CBE, FRAeS (5 August 1893 – 12 March 1966) was an English aeronautical engineer who contributed to many Hawker aircraft designs, from the biplanes of the 1920s to jet fighters. One particularly notable aircraft he designed was the Hawker Hurricane fighter.
Sydney Camm was born at 10 Alma Road in Windsor, Berkshire, the eldest child of the twelve children of Frederick Camm, a carpenter/joiner and Mary Smith. The Camm family lived near Windsor & Eton Central railway station. His brother Frederick James Camm became a technical author and created the Practical Wireless magazine.
In 1901 he began attending the Royal Free School on Bachelors Acre in Windsor (The Royal Free school became the Royal Free Middle School with the secondary school becoming the Princess Margaret Royal Free School on Bourne Avenue). In 1906 he was granted a Foundation Scholarship. In 1908 Camm left school to become an apprentice carpenter.
Camm developed an interest in aeronautics and together with his brothers began building model aircraft, which they supplied to Herbert's Eton High Street shop. After finding that they could obtain a higher price they began making direct sales to boys at Eton College, which were delivered in secret to avoid attracting the attention of Herbert and the school authorities.
These activities led him to being one of the founders of the Windsor Model Aeroplane Club in early 1912. His accomplishments as a model aeroplane builder culminated in a man-carrying glider which he and others at the club built in 1912.
Shortly before the start of the World War I, Camm obtained a position as a shop-floor carpenter at the Martinsyde aircraft company ,which was located at the Brooklands racing circuit in Weybridge, Surrey. His ability soon led to his being promoted to the drawing office, where he spent the war period. After the company went into liquidation in 1921, Camm was employed by George Handasyde, who had created his own aircraft manufacturing company, which was responsible for the creation of the Handasyde Monoplane.
In November 1923 Camm joined the Hawker Aircraft Company (later Hawker Siddeley) based at Canbury Park Road in Kingston upon Thames as a senior draughtsman. His first design was the Cygnet, the success of which led to his being appointed chief designer in 1925.
In 1925, in association with Fred Sigrist, Hawker's managing director, Camm developed a form of metal construction, using cheaper and simpler jointed tubes, rather than the alternative welded structure.
During his employment at Hawker he was responsible for the creation of 52 different types of aircraft, of which a total of 26,000 were manufactured. Among his early designs were the Tomtit, Hornbill, Nimrod, Hart and Fury. At one time in the 1930s 84 per cent of the aircraft in the RAF were of Camm’s design.
He then moved on to designing aeroplanes that would become mainstays of the RAF in the Second World War including the Hawker Hurricane, Hawker Typhoon and Hawker Tempest.
"Camm had a one-tracked mind – his aircraft were right and everybody had to work on them to get them right. If they did not, then there was hell to pay. He was a very difficult man to work for, but you could not have a better aeronautical engineer to work under. With regard to his own staff, he did not suffer fools gladly and at times many of them appeared to be fools. One rarely got into trouble for doing something either in the ideas line, or in the manufacturing line, but woe betide those who did nothing, or who put forward an indeterminate solution."
Among the engineers who worked with Camm at Hawker were Sir Frederick Page (later to design the English Electric Lightning), Leslie Appleton (later to design the advanced Fairey Delta 2 and Britain's first air-to-air missile, the Fairey Fireflash), Stuart Davies (joined Avro in 1936 and later to be chief designer of the Avro Vulcan), Roy Chaplin (became chief designer at Hawker in 1957) and Sir Robert Lickley (chief project engineer during the war, and later to be chief engineer at Fairey).
The Hawker Hurricane was designed by Sir Sydney Camm.
With the Hurricane, Sydney Camm moved from the technology of the biplane to contemporary monoplane fighter aircraft. The result was that fighters flew faster, and with the improved engine technology of the time, higher and could be made more deadly.
The Hawker engineer Frank Murdoch was responsible for getting the Hurricane into production in sufficient numbers before the outbreak of the war, after an eye-opening visit to the MAN diesel plant in Augsburg in 1936.
When the Hawker Typhoon’s design first emerged and entered squadron service, pilots became aware that there was elevator flutter and buffeting at high speeds, due to the positioning of the heavy Napier Sabre engine intake very close to the wing root.
The engineering of the aircraft to travel at higher speeds and handle compressibility effects was one of the challenges of the day, but with his small design team of one hundred members at Hawker, Camm managed to solve these problems and make the Typhoon an effective combat weapon even at these speeds. As operational requirements changed, the Typhoon was used more as a fighter-bomber, in which role its low level performance, weapon-carrying capabilities and ability to absorb damage made it very effective. It was much used in the Battle of the Falaise Pocket, in which ground-attack aircraft proved very destructive. German losses were so severe that most of France was retaken less than two weeks after the conclusion of this operation.
The lessons learned from the Hawker Typhoon were incorporated into its successor, the Hawker Tempest. As soon as the Typhoon entered service, the Air Ministry requested a new design. C amm recommended that they keep the existing design of the Typhoon for the most part, with modifications to the aerofoil. He also considered the new and powerful Napier Sabre and Bristol Centaurus engines as the powerplant. Camm decided that both engines would be used: the Tempest Mk 5 was fitted with the Napier Sabre, while the Tempest Mk 2 had the Bristol Centaurus. The design modifications to be made to the aircraft to switch from one engine type to another were minimal, so that little assistance was needed in ferrying these aircraft all the way to India and Pakistan, in the final days of the conflict.
The Sea Fury was a higher performance development of the Tempest with a reduced wing area, a Centaurus engine, and a considerably improved view for the pilot. Named the Fury, only the carrier-based Hawker Sea Fury went into service, serving with the Royal Navy from 1947 to 1955.
After the Second World War, Camm created many jet-powered designs which would become important aircraft in the Cold War era.
Notable among these are his contributions to the Hawker Siddeley P.1127 / Kestrel FGA.1, the progenitor of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier. The Harrier is a well-known vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft designed at Hawker Siddeley, which would later merge into British Aerospace, now known as BAE Systems. The Harrier was one of the radical concept aircraft which took shape in postwar Britain, which required the coming together of many important technologies, such as vectored thrust engines like the Bristol Siddeley (later Rolls-Royce) Pegasus and technologies like the Reaction Control System. Camm played a major role in determining these and other vital Harrier systems. In 1953, Camm was knighted for these and other achievements and his contribution to British Aviation. The P.1127 first flew on 21 October 1960. Working with Camm on this aircraft and the Hunter was Prof John Fozard, who became head of the Hawker design office in 1961 and would write a biography of Camm in 1991.
Camm worked on many aircraft built by Hawker before the Harrier, including what is probably his most significant aircraft after the Second World War, the Hawker Hunter. The Hawker Hunter, designed by Camm, made its first flight in 1951.
Camm was President of the Royal Aeronautical Society(RAeS) from 1954 to 1955. Since 1971 the RAeS has held the biennial Sir Sydney Camm Lecture in June, given by the current commander-in-chief of RAF Air Command.
Camm retired as chief designer at Hawker in 1965 and was succeeded by John Fozard. He, however, remained on the board of its successor, Hawker Siddeley until his death.
Before he died, Camm was planning the design of an aircraft to travel at Mach 4, having begun his life in aircraft design with the building of a man-carrying glider in 1912, just nine years after the first powered flight.
In 1966, Camm was awarded the Guggenheim Gold Medal, which had to be presented posthumously, as on 12 March 1966 he died aged 73, whilst playing golf at the Richmond Golf Club. He was buried in Long Ditton Cemetery, Long Ditton, in the County of Surrey.

This is my contribution to the Rogue Ronin collab, which was presented at Bricking Bavaria in Fürth in 2024. It was inspired by Japan’s Edo period and displayed Kumamoto Town and its coastline in the vibrant colours of autumn.
My part of the model presents a scene right in front of the town’s castle’s outer wall, featuring houses typical for the Edo period and townspeople in their daily life. Probably the biggest challenge I had to conquer whilst building this was to achieve the rather steep descent while maintaining a natural appearance.

I hope you like it!
