This time I did not use the in device mirror mode from the smartphone (ZTE Axon 30 Ultra) as this only works with JPEG
For this image I used a image in RAW/DNG from the ultrawideangel that was developed in Lightroom and mirrored in Photoshop
This allows better results (colors and white balance) than taking the in smartphone JPEGs from the stock camera app that offers the mirror mode for still images and video
Caught a lovely scene with kites cross crossing the sky against a beautiful sky and treeline. The seemed so foreign to the sky and i nearly cropped them out but it made for a lovely distraction as they glided back and forth into the frame I decided they had to stay!. Apparently the kite is an ancient device that is believed to have been invented in China by two philosophers in the fifth century B.C. named Mo Di and Luc Ban.
The islets are made of multiple natural layers harvested in Lake Titicaca: The base is made of large pallets of floating Totora roots, which are tied together with ropes and covered in multiple layers of totora reeds. These dense roots that the plants develop and interweave form a natural layer called Khili (about one to two meters thick), which are the main flotation and stability devices of the islands. They are anchored with ropes attached to large Eucalyptus poles driven into the bottom of the lake.
"What to ourselves in passion we propose,
The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.
The violence of either grief or joy
Their own enactures with themselves destroy:
Where joy most revels, grief doth most lament;
Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident.
This world is not for aye, not 'tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
The great man down, you mark his favorite flies;
The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend;
For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy.
But, orderly to end where I begun,
Our wills and fates do so contrary run
That our devices still are overthrown;
Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own"
Back in the day if your smoking material became too small to smoke but too big to toss, you reached into your pocket for this little device. It looks like a key but when squeezed the blade would separate and it became a handy clip. It has remained on my keychain ever since. It has held up quite well over the years, possibly because it was made in the USA.

Fulda Cathedral (Fuldaer Dom, also Sankt Salvator) is the former abbey church of Fulda Abbey and the burial place of Saint Boniface. Since 1752 it has also been the cathedral of the Diocese of Fulda, of which the Prince-Abbots of Fulda were created bishops. The abbey was dissolved in 1802 but the diocese and its cathedral have continued. The dedication is to Christ the Saviour (Latin: Salvator). The cathedral constitutes the high point of the Baroque district of Fulda, and is a symbol of the town.
About the Bell towers:
The facade is flanked by two towers 65 metres high, the four storeys of which are clearly delineated by ledges. Sandstone statues, greater than life size, by Andreas Balthasar Weber, represent to the right Saint Sturm as abbot, with a mitre, abbot's staff and book, and to the left Saint Boniface as bishop with a crook and a Bible pierced by a dagger. On the third storey are copper and gilt numerals and hands belonging to a mechanical clock and a sundial.
Four massive three-quarter columns accompanied by half-pilasters stand to either side of the main portal and support the architrave, the frieze with its triglyphs and the heavy cornices. On the architrave over segments of a round arch sit two large angels, supporting the arms of the Prince-Abbot Adalbert von Schleifras, sculpted by Balthasar Esterbauer, consisting of the arms of Fulda Abbey quartering those of von Schleifras.
The upper storey of the facade is divided by massive pillars. A large round-topped window is decorated with columns, inflexed arches and urns. The window is surrounded by sandstone sculptures representing the patron saints of Fulda, the twin brothers Simplicius and Faustinus, as knights. Their shields bear their symbol - three lilies - and the cross, the device of the abbey, both of which appear in the arms of the town of Fulda.
The central part of the facade is terminated by a triangular gable filled with urns and a round window. On the point of the gable stands a figure of Christ giving a blessing.
Through the overlayering I combined the images I took from rainy night series & the street mood series together to express the concept of " Loneliness in the noisiness" which I am diving into recently.
Have you ever have the experience of walking alone through at the street where is noisy nearby, but you feel the loneliness yourself? Not because there are less people or sound, just the reflection of the mood, the smell of loneliness in the air, or maybe just because you see through the loneliness behind the noisiness like the scenes I capture here.

Combining the Pano-Sabotage technique with multi-image layering and compositing. For the first time using text purely as line, as another aspect of drawing. Hints of pixelation are used to quietly texturize in a few discreet places.
I decided to make a jump from having text that conveyed meaning in a single language ( English ) to taking it beyond that specificity and using it more as a metaphor and as a purely formal, visual device. Now it's not tied to any culture or tradition, except maybe a broadly Western one. When I can I'll find a way to incorporate non-Western fonts and text. Numbers are in the queue of recent images waiting to be posted.

Selon une légende reprise par plusieurs auteurs, l'histoire de ce château se raconte ainsi :
« C'est en contrebas et sur le flanc sud ouest de l'ancien fort médiéval d’Autoire, qu'un dénommé Lafon avait sa demeure.
Pour récompenser sa bravoure sur les champs de bataille d'Italie, le roi Charles VIII l'aurait récompensé en le faisant Chevalier et en lui donnant ainsi le privilège d'avoir un logis avec tours et mâchicoulis qui était un droit attaché à la noblesse.
Le nouveau Chevalier Lafon aurait alors ajouté à son logis de simples tours et gravé sur un linteau de l’une d’entre elle le blason qu'il s'était choisi, une étoile, peut-être celle qui porte chance. »
La demeure s'articule autour d'une tour d'escalier à vis, logée dans l'angle réunissant les 2 corps de logis. La porte principale, au bas de la tour, est ornée d'un arc torique sculpté en accolade, caractéristique de l'ornementation prisée dans le dernier quart du XVe siècle et le début du XVIe siècle.
Dans la partie haute de la tour qui permet à l'escalier distribue les cinq niveaux d'habitation, se greffe une guette en encorbellement surmontée d'une toiture en poivrière qui permettait d'atteindre la pièce aménagée au dernier étage.
La seconde tour est plus imposante : armée de canonnières elle participait à la défense de l'édifice dont le sommet était couronné de mâchicoulis, mais il ne reste plus rien de ce dispositif. Les deux corps de logis ont été remaniés aux XVIIe et XIXe siècles, lors du percement de fenêtres à l'emplacement d'anciennes croisées en pierre.
La tour fait l’objet d’une inscription au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 6 avril 1929.
According to a legend taken up by several authors, the history of this castle is told as follows:
"It is below and on the southwest flank of the old medieval fort of Autoire, that a man named Lafon had his home.
To reward his bravery on the battlefields of Italy, King Charles VIII would have rewarded him by making him a Knight and thus giving him the privilege of having a home with towers and machicolations which was a right attached to the nobility.
The new Chevalier Lafon would then have added simple towers to his home and engraved on a lintel of one of them the coat of arms he had chosen for himself, a star, perhaps the one that brings luck. "
The house is built around a spiral staircase tower, housed in the corner uniting the 2 main buildings. The main door, at the bottom of the tower, is adorned with a toric arch carved in an accolade, characteristic of the ornamentation prized in the last quarter of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.
In the upper part of the tower, which leads to the staircase leading to the five levels of living, is grafted a corbelled lookout surmounted by a pepperbox roof which made it possible to reach the room on the top floor.
The second tower is more imposing: armed with gunboats, it participated in the defense of the building whose top was crowned with machicolations, but nothing remains of this device. The two main buildings were altered in the 17th and 19th centuries, when windows were drilled on the site of old stone windows.
The tower has been listed as a historic monument since April 6, 1929.

It's a rare occasion for me to go out in a storm by myself but this May night, it had to be that way. Jon had gotten called out for work so I was left to my own devices. As you can tell, I am not smart enough to not stand in the middle of the highway for long exposure photography. Lucky for me, traffic was pretty much non-existent at this time of night (after midnight).
Lightning photography has been a struggle for me this year.

“What the Butler Saw” popularised from a mutoscope reel from the early 1900s. The title of this feature became widely used in Britain as a generic term for devices and movies of this kind. The phrase had entered British popular culture after the 1886 divorce case of Lord Colin Campbell and Gertrude Elizabeth Blood. The trial hinged on whether their butler could have seen Lady Campbell with Captain Shaw through the keyhole of their dining room at 79 Cadogan Place, London.
Drumhead tensioning device on a conga drum.
Image is two inches square.
The conga, also known as tumbadora, is a tall, narrow, single-headed drum from Cuba. Congas are staved like barrels and classified into three types: quinto (lead drum, highest), tres dos or tres golpes (middle), and tumba or salidor (lowest). Congas were originally used in Afro-Cuban music genres such as conga (hence their name) and rumba, in which each drummer would play a single drum. Following numerous innovations in conga drumming and construction during the mid-20th century, as well as its internationalization, it became increasingly common for drummers to play two or three drums.

IED, improvised explosive device , are modern soldiers worst nightmare.
By the end of 2007 they have been responsible for at least 64% of Coalition deaths in Iraq.
Here is a picture of us special forces targeted by an ied during a night mission in the afghan's desert (yeah it's not in the snow). I keep exploring in the live explosions area, made with bengal fire. You stick several together, and you should get a big blow.
A big thanks to Tiny Tactical and their amazing gear to make this one possible. www.tinytactical.com
Be sure I will do some more modern military pictures !
side view of the apt building i lived in when living in pasadena. they were one room apts and i know which room is mine (top row, 3rd from left) because i had art everywhere and from the window too. it was a cozy experience and i produced a lot of art.
living quarters were terrible but there were so many friends.
There's nothing quite like boiled eggs and 'soldiers' made from toast. But let's face it, smashing-in the top of the egg to gain access using a spoon is brutal, messy, and uncivilized.
But lo! I have just managed to find a nifty device from Germany: an eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. There are several types, this being a precisely calibrated spring-loaded affair that cracks and removes the shell with the bare minimum of collateral destruction.
A device of which even the fastidious Hercule Poirot would approve!
I saw this decoration in a bench. The image shows an execution,(perhaps seventeenth century). The "Garrote vil" was an execution device used in Spain until the abolition of death penalty in 1978. For more details see: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrote_vil
Here's a shot of my old place at 814 Gregg Street. You can find another shot of this corner on this web site. A friend posed for me one night, but it's been so long, I can't remember who. I think it was perhaps Elise Knox, but I'm not sure. I notice that one of the LP's on the floor is from the old Angel label (via EMI), when they came in plain, brown wrappers. One of the books is THE ARMADA by Mattingly. There's also a small, black radio visible. I used to listen to WRR-FM on this. That's the Dallas, Texas classical station. The radio wasn't very good, and it would pick up interference from air traffic right in the middle of your favorite symphony or concerto. The vent on the wall is for a very old gas heater that still worked. I rented this half of a duplex from the Morrison family, 1975-1987, and they were wonderful landlords. I like to think of the chair she's sitting in as my "Captain Kirk" Chair. had a lot of fun reading Stephen King novels in that chair. Sadly, it came apart, never to join Starfleet again. The black cylinder by the stereo is a preener, a cloth covered device for cleaning LP's. LP's attract dirt by their very nature. Never use record sprays or anything that might leave a residue on your LP's. There's a YEHUDI MENUIN MUSIC GUIDE on the floor by her feet. I reviewed this for the local paper, the DENTON RECORD-CHRONICLE.
