Georgetown, a rural centre 270km southwest of Innisfail, Queensland, is on the road to Croydon. Originally known as Etheridge, it is the administrative centre of Etheridge Shire.
Georgetown began in 1869 as an alluvial gold mining centre, based on the Etheridge River. Mining came about mainly from Queensland Government geologist Richard Daintree's exploratory work. When the gold field was approved as a township it was named Georgetown in honour of the local gold commissioner, Howard Saint George. The alluvial gold attracted a rush of prospectors, estimated at up to 3000 at its peak. This number was short-lived, however, as footloose prospectors were soon drawn to more rewarding sites such as the Palmer River and Hodgkinson fields.
In 1870 a telegraph repeating station for an overland line to the Gulf was built at Georgetown, and a post office and a court opened in 1872. Buildings were primitive, including the school (1874), the Catholic chapel (1876), and the numerous hotels. The school closed in 1877 for want of pupils during one of the miners' periodic desertions to other fields (a government primary school opened again in 1878, today's State school tracing its origins to this date). The telegraph station, colonial-administrative functions and reliable river flows ensured a degree of economic stability and buffered Georgetown against the vagaries of fluctuating mining fortunes. The district's fertile red basalt soils encouraged beef pastoralism, and the town developed as a commercial service centre.
By 1880 the original wood and canvas buildings were wearing out. White-ant proof iron and hardwood structures replaced them (the Bank of New South Wales' new building built in 1890 lasted until 1988). In 1882 Georgetown had ten hotels, ten billiards rooms, and an enlarged courthouse to deal with participants in drunken brawls, assaults, indecent language, and livestock theft. The rich mineral lodes paid well enough to offset the costs caused by lack of water and distance, and continued to provide enough return to keep miners employed. By the early 1900s, however, mining was reported as being depressed, with cyanide processing of tailings giving the best results. There were still several hotels, and a hospital had been opened. Copper mining began at Einasleigh and a railway line was opened in 1908 to carry the ore to the Chillagoe smelters. The line, however, was not extended to Georgetown.
Georgetown was made the administrative centre of Etheridge Shire, which, together with the hospital and recreation facilities, has offset its never having a railway line. Georgetown is at the heart of some of Queensland's best gemfields, and the shire has embraced outback tourism. Outside of the town are several heritage-listed gold mines. A house in South Street built with antbed bricks circa 1890 (possibly the sole surviving example) is also heritage-listed. In Georgetown itself are a motel, hotel, and three camping/caravan parks, together with Anglican and Catholic churches, a general store, the State primary school, racecourse, swimming pool and a tourist information centre, which in 2003 acquired a notable minerals collection.
In 2004, the Ewamian people surrendered native title over the far northern Queensland townships of Einasleigh, Forsayth, Mount Surprise, and Georgetown. In return, they received access to their traditional country through three reserves along with land and housing in Georgetown.

Gabby sought me out at a prior shoot; we developed an instant chemistry and she wanted to do some more shoots. Sounds good to me. This was the first of hopefully many. She is such a fine, fun young lady to shoot with. She is very focused, active, and always trying to get better. Gabby joined us for a shoot on a cold January day on top of a parking garage in downtown Boise. She reminded me of the Energizer Bunny - never wanting to stop. This was an awesome shoot and I'm already looking forward to the next one!
Ogre Tribe:
Over the centuries upon centuries of a brutal lifestyle on the vast, fetid wastes of the Burnlands, the orcs have developed many different physical characteristics to survive in their harsh environment.
The orcs of the northern bogs developed a skin that was green of hue to blend with the putrid marshes and have a greater affinity for the shamanic powers. The orcs that have a burnt orange color are said to be blessed by the fires that plague the Burnlands and are more physically impressive.
The common brown orcs are a product of the brown, lifeless ground that encompasses their land. One species of orc, however, has become so different that they have been given their own designation, the Ogres.
The Ogres were separated from the other orcs centuries ago during a abnormal cataclysmic even that broke a vast section of the Burnlands into a mountain range. This land became a hellscape for any orcs that survived, and those that did became exquisite physical specimens. Larger than their distant kin, the Ogres have impressive physical strength but a lowered intelligence capacity.
They charge into battle wielding crude but effective axes that have multiple blades. The oldest and strongest Ogres grow thick tusks that they use for tearing apart meat and bashing enemies. Able to crush a mans skull with a well placed head-butt, the Ogres are the epitome of brute stupidity and ferociousness.
When The Horde gathers, the Ogres climb down from their mountain camps and form the shock infantry focus that is able to crash into enemy lines and deal grotesque amounts of damage.

A model I kept saying I'd get back to. Folded a similar one for the last New York convention, but the paper was too thick and the lack of humidity in the gallery was too much for the lock. (All public buildings in New York are kept at meat-locker temperatures. And the lock was not as well researched as it might have been. We will not speak of it.)
Though not apparent from the photo, perhaps, the creases are slanted off the edges of the paper, so that the corners tuck in at the top and hold each other in place. Very much like a dome with a keystone. I'd like to tell you that the globes are spherical in nature, but it would be a lie -- they're oblate as a tertiary Benedictine.

I got the Super-Komura 50mm f:3.5 for very little money. It is not so well regarded - weak in the corners and low contrast. I bought it in order to have at least one wide-angle lens for my Bronica S2a. It has a more old-fashioned look than the ultra-sharp Nikkor lenses for the S2 system. I am now looking for a better wide-angle lens, e.g. the 40mm Nikkor-D f:4.0 lens, but I think I will still keep this lens, as it after all has its uses. I believe it does a creditable job here.

Easter is an important annual religious feast in the Christian liturgical year. According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead three days after his crucifixion. Many Christian denominations celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between A.D. 26 and 36.
Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of prayer and penance.
Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. Easter falls at some point between late March and late April each year (early April to early May in Eastern Christianity), following the cycle of the Moon. After several centuries of disagreement, all churches accepted the computation of the Alexandrian Church (now the Coptic Church) that Easter is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon, which is the first moon whose 14th day (the ecclesiastic "full moon") is on or after March 21 (the ecclesiastic "vernal equinox").
Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover not only for much of its symbolism but also for its position in the calendar.
Cultural elements, such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts, have become part of the holiday's modern celebrations, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike. There are also some Christian denominations which do not celebrate Easter.
Anglo-Saxon and German
The modern English term Easter developed from Old English word Ēastre or Ēostre or Eoaster, which itself developed prior to 899. The name refers to Eostur-monath, a month of the Germanic calendar attested by Bede as named after the goddess Ēostre of Anglo-Saxon paganism. Bede notes that Eostur-monath was the equivalent to the month of April, and that feasts held her in honor during Ēostur-monath had died out by the time of his writing, replaced with the Christian custom of Easter.] Using comparative linguistic evidence from continental Germanic sources, the 19th century scholar Jacob Grimm proposed the existence of an equivalent form of Eostre among the pre-Christian beliefs of the continental Germanic peoples, whose name he reconstructed as *Ostara.
