We've reached daily assignment #100, so the choice is yours 100 as a theme or use capture landmark, mile stone to celebrate, post it then Tag it with #TP100
I found a funny assignment through CogDogBlog: For today's Daily Create: "a photo of an object that represents how old you feel": tdc.ds106.us/tdc38/ and decided to use it as my inspiration.
- When I want to demonstrate something in practice - my tools / apps are: cardboard, pencil, eraser, scissors, tape, ruler... - My new 5T Hat means a milestone as I'm using it tomorrow in a workshop starting a new project related with: What is networked coping? - I repost the story of the 5T Hat - originally attached to my @dailyshoot #ds632:
" We practiced using the brand new 5T Hat during the planning process of #SomeTime2011 unconference in last spring. - When we face a challenge, it's necessary to observe it from four different perspectives before deciding what kind of action there will be needed. The 5 T:s process comes from Finnish words as follows:
1) Start with having the red side in the front - the T #1 stands for tunne = FEELING, EMOTION
2) Turn the second, the yellow side in the front - the T #2 stands for tahto = WILL, VOLITION
3) Turn the third, the green side in the front - the T #3 stands for toiminta = ACTION
4) Turn the fourth, the blue side in the front - the T #4 stands for tieto = KNOWLEDGE, DATA
The fifth T stands for tavoite = GOAL, OBJECTIVE. It's reached when all the four T aspects have been taken into account. No matter what the size of your decision is, it's helpful to manage the handling of four approaches. - The 5T Hat is also a nice metaphor for preferences of the day - which color do you wear in the front today?
The Father of the 5T idea is @digitalvillages. @HeikkiHallantie (in the pic) created the 3D version. "
Blaenavon Ironworks was founded in 1787 by Thomas Hill of Amblecote, Staffs, his brother-in-law Thomas Hopkins, a Staffordshire ironmaster and Benjamin Pratt of Oldswinford. The site was selected because of the coal and iron in the locality, and it was set against the hillside to facilitate serving of the furnaces. Blaenavon became one of the birthplaces of the Industrial Revolution. In 1878, Sidney and Percy Gilchrist developed the Bessemer process at Blaenavon, which was crucial to the world steel industry. The works moved into steelmaking. In the late 18th Century the works declined and finally closed in 1904, reopening very briefly in 1924. By 1970 it was considered a dangerous eyesore, and there were calls for its demolition. Thankfully, instead, the decision was made to preserve it , work starting on this in 1974. Because of its industrial importance, including the ironworks, Blaenavon was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000.
Furnace slag used as coping blocks on a wall near the Balance Tower. Use of furnace slag as a building material is quite common in South Wales; I doubt it is confined to this area.
Coping with the loss of my beloved kitty cat has been hard, but being able to make photos like this cheer me up a little.
One of our attempts to cool the young in the gourds and houses is the water mister that my husband set up yesterday. The adults seem to like it. We are hoping that this will help keep the young alive in this 100+ degree Oklahoma weather, before they fledge in a week or so. They arrived later than usual this year, and were about 3 weeks to a month behind schedule in laying eggs and raising young.

Part of the front left hand side coping stone. It's the only section complete so far. It's made up of glass gems, blue tiles, iridescent tiles, gold dust tiles, glitter tiles and mirror tiles. The theme here is blue mostly creating the impression of water or the ocean. I've used a variety of different tile arrangements for this piece but still with the same overall theme. Not only does it have a theme but a 3d look. The coping stone was flat so I created various shapes and sculptures using a variety of spare materials before tiling them.

A rainy day visit to the Holyhead Maritime Museum.
The museum is housed in an old lifeboat station that they have had since 1998.
The Holyhead Maritime Museum is a maritime museum located in Holyhead, North Wales.
Housed in what is claimed to be the oldest Lifeboat station in Wales (built c. 1858), it houses a number of collections.
The lifeboat station opened in 1858 and the first lifeboat was unnamed, launching 18 times, saving 128 persons. Replaced by the Prince of Wales, she launched 38 times and rescued 128 persons. In 1875, Member of Parliament Joshua Fielden and his brothers donated the Thomas Fielden, named after their father, which necessitated extending the house. In 1890, a second large boat was obtained, for which the house was extended to enable beach based landing from a horse-drawn carriage.
After local maritime exhibitions were held in 1982 and 1983 elsewhere, a trustees group was formed on 24 September 1984. The trustees obtained a nine-year lease on the redundant St Elbods church from the Church in Wales, with the museum opened officially by the Duke of Westminster in March 1986.
On expiration of the lease, and after failing to agree a lease within a new development, Stena Line offered the museum a peppercorn rent on the renovated Lifeboat house at Newry Beach. Deciding to improve the building through the construction of new visitor facilities, after a successful bid for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and a renegotiation of the lease to 99 years, the museum reopened on its current site in 1998.
The museum today tells the maritime history of Holyhead and Anglesey, from earliest days to the modern ferries to Ireland. It features an interactive combination of historical artifacts, models and sensory exhibitions. All of its part-time volunteers have extensive maritime and local knowledge. Accessible to wheelchairs, the museum has its own cafe, the Harbour Front Bistro.
The Holyhead at War exhibition is located in an air raid shelter located alongside the Maritime Museum.

www.vastec-usa.com, Ph: 888-282-7832, This photo set shows how to install VASTEC USA's Coping For Fiberglass Pools, an easy alternative to styrofoam cantilever concrete deck forms. We developed this coping so we could install more fiberglass swimming pools and so we didnt have to get into the pool (in the winter) to finish the cantilever edge. Turns out it's great for the do-it-yourself homeowner also. These guys used the shimming capabilities to elevate the coping (to expose more of the waterline tile). Nice work guys!

Just a week or so ago someone was asking me what the secret to coping crown was? And I said it was easy, just get rid of all the wood that doesn’t belong, and the joint will fit perfect! Fast forward to today…I am at lunch reading the next chapter of Within the Frame, the best seller by David duChemin, my new all-time favorite photo guru!! Anyway the section was on framing your photos and one of the impacting parts was the part about excluding things and he said several things to remember when composing and cropping our shots…
”Elements that are not an important part of the story you are telling diminish the power of the story. Exclusion is a powerful tool for increasing the impact of your image…”
and then as a reminder when were behind the camera composing, as well as in the digital darkroom processing and cropping:
“As you shoot, be aware of the stories you are shooting, as well as the emotions and thoughts you want to capture. Then remove every element that does not contribute to that vision.”
Now, I knew most of this, but it was just a perfectly worded reminder to make sure you “know” what you are trying to say with each of our photographs and hack and slay all the fat in order to get to the real point of the photo!! And its true for everything we shoot, its true for macros where other things in the BG might distract from the focal point, or portrait where a bright object takes away from the face of the person, or even a over-scenic landscape that has so much going on that your eye/mind doesn’t know what or here to focus!
Anyway a long explanation for a pretty basic photo of me excluding a little excess…
Strobist info-SB-600 camera right on floor, with diffuser to try and light up the sawdust, overhead incandescent to give my hands some fill light…
I was intentional about the placement of the legs of the sawhorse and the way the other end of the crown all lead your eye to the focus, the cutting or excluding...I cropped out as much as I felt I could and also played with several sliders to darken the outsides of the image, de-saturate, and then highlight the center of the photo.

When doing fieldwork for the Arctic Century Expedition on October Revolution island in August 2021 we found the island covered in fresh snow. Temperatures where a few degrees below freezing and it was fascinating to see hoe Saxifraga cernua (and other plant species) were coping with this harsh environment.
someday, my friend, i won't be here to pick up your broken pieces. to listen to your never ending words of problems. someday, you'll have to face it all on your own and when that day comes, i'll be strong enough to not care. someday, my friend, someday.
why, sir, yes of course i get up at 6 in the morning, sir. of course, i wear a coat twice my size over a, little black dress, sir and yes of course i see when the neighbors stare at me taking pictures of my own face, sir.
