Nashara joined us at one of our group shoots we did at Goose Lake, Anchorage, Alaska in May 2010. Unlike the rest of the summer this day was far too bright and I didn't do that well with the direct sunlight shots.
We met Nashara at the Run to the Sun Fashion Show held a few weeks earlier and I thought she would be great to shoot with - brown hair, nice eyes and smile, and legs that go on forever - plus she is fun and very easy to shoot with. Hopefully we'll have a lot more chances in the future!
Strobist stuff - I tried to use 1- 2 Vivitar 285HV units but really wasn't satisfied with the results - still too harsh of a shadow on Nashara's face - when will I ever learn?

Definitely Not a Cognitively Robust Synthetic Character (The Sims)
In Technical Session # 6: Virtually Embodied AI chaired by Sibley Verbek of The Electric Sheep Company at the The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08)
This room is The Zone, at the FedEx Institute of Technology, University of Memphis. It was a very good venue for this conference.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI -- to create intelligence as a whole, by exploring all available paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. AGI is also called Strong AI in the AI community.

I am definitely glad that I was able to take my camera out before the storm damage occurred... The world was pretty there for a moment...
It's a good idea to leave some 'flesh' to prevent any of the twelve M6 bolts moving towards the centre. It's also a good idea not to wind in a kite line under tension.
The advantage of this reel over a plastic hoop is that under a load, it doesn't implode like plastic ones tend to do - it just gently caves in under the pressure, one or two bolts at a time.
Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
While traveling from Lafayette to Shreveport, I was driving along Interstate 49 and noticed that a Union Pacific freight train was running slowly along the right side of the road. I thought about it and realized I didn’t have a photograph of a Louisiana train. The next exit was coming up, so I pulled off and drove a couple of hundred of yards along the road to the grade crossing. The train was facing a red signal, so it was coming on pretty slowly; giving me time to work on my exposure. I was able to get a few shots, which didn’t turn out badly, if I do say so myself.
This was taken about 20 miles south of Natchitoches, Louisiana along Interstate 49 at state route 119 near Derry, Louisiana

Eldest cycling around the grounds of Kings Weston house on a woefully too small bike. As a thrifty Yorkshireman, she got a longer seat post rather than a new bike. But, she is happy for the moment.
Kings Weston house is a bit of a hidden gem. It has the glory of a traditional country estate all a stones throw from the city centre.
Built in 1717, the house and gardens were nationally famous. It was mentioned favourably by Jane Austen in Northanger Abbey. Nowadays, whilst the house itself has undergone extensive restoration and is well presented, the grounds are unkempt and overgrown, despite the attempts at taming it by the Kings Weston Action Group, a noble band of local volunteers.
The jungle that surrounds this place has an upside. It makes for a great place for kids; exploring and climbing trees. And the once-vaunted views over the Severn estuary are now blighted by the industrial warehouses of Avonmouth and the shabby Lawrence Weston suburb just down the hill.
Next time you find yourself at your local grocery store pick up Pizza Supreme Doritos and a bag of shredded motzerella cheese. Then go home, smoke a j, and endulge in the masterpiece your microwave just created!

Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In, Seligman, Arizona.

For now, here's some information about the place. How many hamburger joints have their own article in Wikipedia?

I woke up this morning and thought to myself "dude, I have to start taking more pictures. even if I'm busy all the time, this is what I want to do with my life, therefore I need to get out there & spend more time doing it." So what did I do?
I got out there and took pictures, dangit!

This gorgeous cousin of mine right here, Halley, was quite the trooper today :) She let me soak her with a water hose (yes, the water hose just had to do, there was no rain on the forecast :P) and I didn't hear one complaint out of her. I'm so beyond blessed.
Sorry for writing so much, I'm just in one of those moods I guess. Haha

Definitely more Borders than Welsh as Galatea hauled the Welsh Borders Steam Special through Cheshire before dipping into Wales and then into Shropshire.
AHA, another collab. with sunshine, who is definitely cool.
I was aiming for textures for this one but I'm keeping it simple. :D Yay!
School is tiring. :( I have to make up a religion, work on a writing portfolio, project due in two weeks, and explicate nursery rhymes, already! D: I mean I like writing, and the dancing interpretations of Itsy Bitsy Spider. :D
Nonetheless, this made me even sadder but it's quite funny also.
