this photo was taken in Dubai..sadly at the time i wasn't into photography so most of my photos were lame :) hehe
except for that one, i guess
The intricate designs worn by these beatifully attired women added color and flash to the Texas Championship Pow Wow at Houston's Traders Village.
I've wanted this for ages. It's a set of interviews with various people in the industry, and it's a big, heavy hardback with full-colour printing. Lovely, lovely stuff.

As the world entered the supersonic age, the US Air Force had to assume that the Soviet Union was designing jet bombers. The subsonic interceptors then in service, such as the F-89 Scorpion, would not be adequate. Accordingly, the USAF issued a requirement in 1949 for what was simply called the “1954 Interceptor,” as that was the expected in-service date. Unlike earlier aircraft, however, the new aircraft would be designed around the fire control computer (the Hughes MX-1179) and would incorporate all-missile armament.
Of 18 proposals sent to the USAF, the service chose Convair’s Project MX-1554 in late 1951. This proposal incorporated then radical delta wings, a powerful Wright J67 turbojet, and an internal missile bay that was also equipped with rockets, along with the MX-1179 fire control system. Problems arose with both the engine and fire control system, however, and the USAF decided to go ahead with production of what was now the F-102A Delta Dagger, the third aircraft of the Century Series of fighters in the 1950s. The F-102A was considered as interim until the more advanced F-102B could come online later; emphasis was getting a supersonic interceptor into service as soon as possible, even if it used a less powerful Pratt and Whitney J57 and a simpler M-9 fire control computer. The first YF-102 flew in October 1953.
It was a failure. The YF-102 could not even reach supersonic speeds, its ceiling was below that of even the F-89, and the prototype crashed only a week after its first flight. Convair went back to the drawing board, this time using the recently discovered area rule principle, changing the fuselage from a conventional round shape to a more streamlined “coke bottle,” lengthening and narrowing the nose, and adding shock blisters around the engine. The redesigned YF-102A flew in December 1954, and was able to meet the USAF’s requirements, though it was still slower and had a lower ceiling than the USAF would have liked. Since the F-102A was again only supposed to serve as an interim for the F-102B, which would later become the F-106 Delta Dart, the USAF was willing to overlook the shortfall in performance. The first F-102 entered service in 1956.
In service, the “Deuce,” as it became known, got mixed reviews. The fire control system was improved with an infrared turret forward of the cockpit, and it had comparatively heavy armament in the form of four AIM-4 Falcons and 24 rockets carried in the weapons bay doors. The aircraft were also re-winged with a more efficient design in 1957. Later F-102s had the rockets removed to allow carriage of two AIM-24 Nuclear Falcons.
All this aside, the delta winged design proved to be tricky to get used to, and the F-102 suffered a high accident rate. TF-102A conversion aircraft were built, which involved a radical redesign of the Delta Dagger from the intakes forward, as the TF-102 had side-by-side seating. This adversely affected performance, giving the TF-102 its moniker of “Pig.” Nonetheless, the F-102 was to perform yeoman service throughout the late 1950s and 1960s as an interceptor, supplementing the earlier F-101 Voodoo and its replacement, the F-106. As the Delta Dart entered service, more and more F-102s were relegated to Air National Guard units, where the Deuce would serve until 1976.
F-102s would see wartime service as well. As North Vietnam had a number of Ilyushin Il-28 Beagles in service, F-102s were deployed in detachments to USAF bases in South Vietnam to guard against a surprise attack. These aircraft were drawn from both active duty units and Air National Guard units under Operation Constant Guard. As the Il-28 threat never materialized, the F-102s were used as escorts for USAF missions in Laos or EB-66 jammer aircraft supporting Rolling Thunder sorties. In this capacity, the F-102 would see at least one air-to-air combat with MiG-21s, but came off second best with the loss of aircraft and pilot. Other F-102s were used as ground support aircraft, a role to which the Deuce was completely unsuited, for a brief time and with poor results—though the F-102’s infrared sensors gave it all-weather capability that at that time was matched only by the F-4D Phantom II.
Truly lacking a role, the F-102 detachments were withdrawn from Southeast Asia in 1968. F-102s were exported to Turkey and Greece in the mid-1960s, and these were used in the 1974 Cyprus Crisis; none were reported lost on either side, though rumors persist of Turkish F-102s either shooting down or being shot down by Greek F-5A Freedom Fighters.
All F-102s, foreign and domestic, were withdrawn from service by 1979. In the US, nearly all were converted to QF-102 drones and expended as targets, ending in 1986. Of approximately 900 Delta Daggers produced, at least 35 remain today in museums.
Though marked as 56-1114, this is actually 53-1801 (just below the second lightning bolt, the correct number is marked on the tail). Initially delivered to the 37th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, an active-duty unit at Ethan Allen AFB, Vermont, it spent most of its career in West Germany, with the 86th FIW at Hahn. 1801 finished its career with the 124th FIG (Idaho ANG) before it was retired in 1972. As the South Dakota ANG wanted a F-102 in its airpark to represent Deuces flown between 1960 and 1970, it was restored and went on display at Joe Foss Field in Sioux Falls.
The display colors may or may not be entirely correct. While the 114th FIG's trademark in the F-102 was the double lightning bolts on the tail and red wing fences, the "S. Dak. Air Guard" is nonstandard; most F-102s carried the usual USAF titles. However, 56-1114, possibly because of its tail number, did carry the South Dakota ANG titling in service (along with a red nose), so this is not just for display purposes.
Incidentally, the real 56-1114 still exists and is on display at the March ARB Museum in California, in 144th FIG (California ANG) colors. 53-1801 never actually served with the South Dakota ANG!

This is flyscreen (less than 1mm square grid)
The Canon EOS Photo5 competition is over for 2010. There were 5 briefs and this is one of my test shots. I spent countless hours designing shots, thinking up
ideas and taking advice, so I thought it was a shame not to put these up on the internet for others to view. This is one of the ideas I did not use.
For more information on the event, take a look at www1.canon.com.au/worldofeos/photo5/.
The shots were all taken with a Canon 30D or 5D.
I have used the Canon logo on the watermark so I hope Canon don't mind and see this as advertising for next years event in 2011 :)
The 2010 5 briefs were:
Brief 1: Eye Dropper : Close-Up is asks for us to use the lens to look closer. Using the eye dropper to place drops of liquid in any arrangement. Use a
single drop, or as many drops as required. Not limited to just water - use liquids of different colours and consistencies, such as milk or tomato soup. Get
close.
I tried dropping food colouring into Water, glycerin, Olive oil and many other liquards. I dropped it onto mirrrors, onto plastic, onto bugs and much more.
I used a Canon MPE-65mm and 300 Watt lights with 600 Watt flash and remote triggers.
Brief 2: Bubble Gum : Portraiture - feature bubble gum in a portrait.
I tried to blow bubbles but can't. I opted to use the gum in other ways. I put it on an old portrait of me, I let it explode all over my face, I lined them
up like dominos and even used a train set and made the gum the trains load. They made interesting substitute eggs and many other weird and wonderful items.
I used a black backdrop and lighting.
Brief 3: Incense : Black and White - This is a moody brief. Use smoke from the incense to create ambience and atmosphere in a black and white photo.
It is amazing how good smoke looks in colour yet when you turn something into Black and White, it lacks punch. It is also amazing how heavy the furnishings
now smell of smoke in my house. I used 2x halogen lights facing upwards and the insence was above this but below the table. The lights had to face away from
the black backdrop. I tried war scenes, placed insence into objects and tried to make a car do a burn out.
Brief 4: Confetti : Capturing Motion - capture the confetti in motion. It’s about motion, the image must convey a sense of movement.
I guess this one was easy for those whom know how to make a mess. I sat on the floor to take these photos.
Brief 5: Inspired by sound : Open - creative interpretation of a sound. The sound, sounds like a whistling falling noise.
I thought of a paint tin lying on the ground and a painter sitting on the floor with paint coming down over his shoulders and a ladder in the backround but
it was just to hard .. So I made a backup battery (UPS) commit suicide.
There was also a portfolio category.

Was at Mylapore today to attend the Mylapore Festival which is conducted by Sundaram Finance every year. All great cities have a soul. Mylapore can rightfully claim to be the soul of Chennai city here in south India. It pre-dates Chennai's birth and has seen the city grow as it has, its own. Mylapore retains the look and feel of an old neighborhood, the culture and heritage typically south Indian, yet it has not escaped development. This place then is also just the setting for a cultural festival. That is why the Sundaram Finance sponsored Mylapore Festival is organised every year in January, on the eve of the local harvest festival of Pongal.

Pattern by me. I always make my own patterns for sewing. It's more fun this way - so much more can go wrong! Keeps it interesting...
I decided to keep this nice and simple to ease myself back in because it's ages since I sewed anything.
Fits perfectly and I love it. Huzzah!
The fabric was a gift, but I know it came from purl soho.
