I developed this poster to act as an advertisement for a display of work looking at 'Transforming Appearances'. Taking up the majority of the page is an image of a cantaloupe melon. Its appearance has been altered significantly by brightly coloured inks, indicating a significant transformation of the colours and overall appearance of the fruit. I was considerate of the colour of my text, pulling the light blue and oranges from the photograph.
This is one of my first self-developed photos. I burned a roll this morning so I'd have something to play with. Not bad for a first attempt.

The Alenia C-27J Spartan is a military transport aircraft developed and manufactured by Leonardo's Aircraft Division (formerly Alenia Aermacchi until 2016).[3] It is an advanced derivative of the former Alenia Aeronautica's earlier G.222 (C-27A Spartan in U.S. service), equipped with the engines and various other systems also used on the larger Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules. In addition to the standard transport configuration, specialized variants of the C-27J have been developed for maritime patrol, search and rescue, C3 ISR (command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), fire support/ground-attack and electronic warfare missions.
In 2007, the C-27J was selected as the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) for the United States military; these were produced in an international teaming arrangement under which L-3 Communications served as the prime contractor. In 2012, the United States Air Force (USAF) elected to retire the C-27J after only a short service life due to budget cuts; they were later reassigned to the U.S. Coast Guard and United States Special Operations Command. The C-27J has also been ordered by the military air units of Australia, Bulgaria, Chad, Greece, Italy, Kenya, Lithuania, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Zambia and an undisclosed country
The C-27J had a flyaway cost of US$31.7M in 2012, and an average cost of US$66.2M in 2018
Current Operators
United States Coast Guard received 14 former USAF C-27Js, to convert to HC-27J configuration. The Coast Guard will transfer seven C-130s to the United States Forest Service

Mellow day in the beginning. A break off work, a chance to join fellow parents and celebrate my son and his friends finish their school year.
After all was set and done, plan was to hop on the train to go visit my friends' photo lab to drop off film to develop. Lab's in Downtown.
Heard of the protest developing down there too - not unexpected, City Hall's there after all, courthouses, Federal Building.
Was packing my camera anyways already, figured could document as well.
By the time train got to Union Station, I learned that the southbound subway line (to Little Tokyo and into the Downtown proper) was stopped. No big deal - can walk.
Exited the station and started hoofing it down Alameda southbound. Got to the freeway overpass - some folks leaving north, towards Union Station; others hanging out on the overpass, looking on the freeway below. Heard sound of stun grenades coming from the south side of the freeway, at Aliso Street. Some smoke there. Heavy husk of federal Blackhawk helicopter whopping air with it's blades, circling above.
Camera out. People, signs. Cops blocking off Alameda south of Aliso. Walking along Federal Building. Tagged up KTLA5 News van. More people, more signs. Cops on freeway below, blocking southbound lanes, shooting occasional stun grenades up towards Aliso from down there. Arresting folks who came out on the freeway earlier.
Turn down to Los Angeles, walking south, along same Federal Building (familiar spot. Place brings back memories). Building's all tagged up, police skirmish line blocks Los Angeles at Temple. Few folks protesting on Los Angeles at the time are mostly mellow. One guy walking, yelling at cops, but he's an exception. There is more action happening toward the bridge over Temple, by City Hall. Fireworks go off, then stun grenades. Cavalry rides there with sticks - mounted police. A cop comes up to the middle of the intersection dropping off a box of those 40mm foam baton "non-lethal" rounds.
In skirmish line some cops look uncomfortable, overwhelmed - drafted desk jockeys perhaps? Got maybe some basic riot control training a while back. Twitching now. Not ready.
Person sits down to the right of me - legs crossed, on the ground. Lifts their sign up. Suddenly, heard a flute behind me. Turn around - a protester walking toward me, beatboxing on the flute. Now, I had seen it all. Focus, take the shot.
Almost immediately hear a 40mm launcher go off, yelp. Turn around - person sitting next to me got hit by a "non-lethal" in the hand. Pinkie finger looks gnarly. Sign down on the sidewalk, blood dripping. Folks rushing in to help. Look towards the police line - fairly certain I see the shooter: new round loaded up, launcher towards myself and folks helping wounded person. Protesters yell and curse at him. I lock in focus and hit shutter.
Yeah, twitching. Not ready. His superior shows up with some backup in tow, and a guy with a whole bundle more of fresh foam batons. Pulls that cowboy back. Don't see him anymore.
Suddenly, cops' attention is focused by something way behind me. Turn around - clouds of dark smoke are rising from the old Pueblo side to the north of the freeway. Get my last shots of the Temple St skirmish line, move north.
Waymo robot taxis are burning. Four of them. Smoke is thick, suffocating and feels toxic. Somehow "heavier" than what I had smelled in Altadena with Eaton Canyon fire. Mask up. Trying to move in a way where wind won't blanket me with that filth. Electric cars burn so hot and fast, practically melting down completely. Feels much different as opposed to "usual" gas cars during Eaton Fire.
Spent rest of the time moving back and forth between different sides of the freeway. More signs, more people. North side of the freeway peaceful. Some families with kids. South side is a bit rougher. Tear gas and stun grenades are met with fireworks and those silly rideshare scooters. A sudden memory from the Soviet-era school curriculum flashes in my mind, about "a boulder being a weapon of proletariat" - made me wonder if those scooters are stand-ins for boulders in 21st century. But only briefly - boulders make an appearance too. Turns out that those decorative "cemented boulders" by the freeway ramps, a product of some hostile architecture genius, are an arsenal within themselves.
More photos. Stun grenade hits the tree branches above, goes off. I get showered with a bunch of leaves, small branches and lost hearing in my right ear for probably solid half an hour. Try to be more careful. Move around some more. Different sides of the freeway.
Cops decide to get more active on clearing up south side of the freeway. Cavalry moves out once again. I get kettled up between two skirmish lines, along with some reporters, an older homeless guy with his treasure throve of cardboard boxes, a confused older couple, some random working folks. They all were given confusing directions, trying to make their way out. Couple of hours of milling about, older couple asking me for information and directions, trying to make their way to a hotel - tourists. Young lady asked if I knew whether Alameda was open (she wanted to make her way to Arts District). Told her that Alameda most likely would be closed (it was).
Eventually, authorities lost interest in our ragtag group milling around their area figured it was a good time to get us out of there in a prompt fashion.

The Developing Good Governance in the Niger Delta programme draws on the commitment and expertise of five Nigerian NGOs with an abundance of experience of working with all stakeholders in the region. Working collaboratively, they present a unique opportunity to engage government, civil society and the oil industry in bringing about the huge changes in behaviour and practice which are pre-requisite to sustainable development.
The purpose of the project is better provision of basic services in the Niger Delta and the reduction of poverty. This is to be achieved through enhanced effectiveness of civil society in the Niger Delta to demand better governance, allied to improved capacity to deliver by civil servants, greater functional skills among service providers and improved understanding of the role and responsibilities of state and local government among all stakeholders. The focus of the project will be six local government authorities (LGAs) in the Niger Delta States in the three core Delta States of Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta. Interventions will be targeted at key sectors and vulnerable groups to ensure poverty focus.
Currently the project partnership is led by Academic Associates Peace Works (AAPW), Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law and the Living Earth Foundation (UK) with additional support from Kobiri Development Foundation (KDF).
This five-year programme is funded by DFID’s Global Transparency Fund and will run from 2008 to 2013.

The newly developed E-96 Tank was designed to take the hardest of beatings, and pack the heaviest punch. It's 300mm thick front armor is made from a combination of hardened Carbon, reinforced Titanium and a heat dissipating ceramic that guards against heat weapons. It's 135mm cannon is able to fire with three types of ammunition, Armor Piercing, High Explosive and Plasma Hydrogen. Together these different charges can pack a wallop and destroy anything in it's way. It's other weapon is it's fuel system, which uses solar heat and converts it into electricity, through a chemically engineered photosynthesis like process.
