here's a model of mine designed several months ago, but folded only recently (just before the italian convention).
folded from a 35cm square of "satogami" paper + natural tissue paper.
I collected this shot as I was rolling by on my Harley while shooting from the hip.

Harry Potter and his friends were caught in the Devil's snare. Luckily, Hermione was both able to keep her calm and remeber what they were taught in herbology class. This creation was inspired by Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, the book version. In the movie it is only Ron who needs to be saved.
I was looking for something completely different when I found this sitting on my hard drive. An old 'un from 2007.
Devil May Cry (デビル メイ クライ, Debiru Mei Kurai) è un anime ispirato al noto videogioco Devil May Cry creato dalla CAPCOM. Proprio come nel videogame, si ha come protagonista Dante. L'anime presenta degli episodi autoconclusivi nei quali troviamo il protagonista affiancato da una ragazzina di nome Patty e dal suo informatore/agente Morrison. Con il seguitare della serie Dante farà un incontro con alcune vecchie conoscenze, come Lady e Trish, noti personaggi che facevano la loro comparsa nel videogioco.
Trama.:
Dante è figlio del demone Sparda e di un'umana, e per questo è un mezzo demone, anche se il suo aspetto risulta del tutto umano. Sebbene questa sembri una contraddizione, l'obiettivo di Dante è proprio quello di sconfiggere ed uccidere i demoni.

The original plan was to hike near Lake Berryessa, CA for some elevated shots of the dam and other great views with another photographer. At the last minute the forecast called for rain causing our plans to deviate to the hills near Colfax to go waterfall hunting. This is probably the third time at this fall and it still amazes me. We hiked nearby to view other grand spots with water flowing. A great area to catch some green landscapes with flowing water for a continued effort in the perfect exposure. (0.3 sec, f/7.1, 14 mm)
The old Devil's Slide section of Hwy 1 between Montara and Pacifica, California has been closed to auto traffic and is now a biking and hiking trail. This is a shot from that trail.
Notice the prolific pampas grass(Cortaderia selloana or Cortaderia jubata) in the foreground - a nasty invasive that causes problems wherever it goes.

Take Devil's Staircase trekking and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Southern Plains. This famous route is a 14km long trail of sharp zig-zag twists that are extremely steep and difficult, but quite thrilling to travel.
Coventry's Cathedral is a unique synthesis of old a new, born of wartime suffering and forged in the spirit of postwar optimism, famous for it's history and for being the most radically modern of Anglican cathedrals. Two cathedral's stand side by side, the ruins of the medieval building, destroyed by incendiary bombs in 1940 and the bold new building designed by Basil Spence and opened in 1962.
It is a common misconception that Coventry lost it's first cathedral in the wartime blitz, but the bombs actually destroyed it's second; the original medieval cathedral was the monastic St Mary's, a large cruciform building believed to have been similar in appearance to Lichfield Cathedral (whose diocese it shared). Tragically it became the only English cathedral to be destroyed during the Reformation, after which it was quickly quarried away, leaving only scant fragments, but enough evidence survives to indicate it's rich decoration (some pieces were displayed nearby in the Priory Visitors Centre, sadly since closed). Foundations of it's apse were found during the building of the new cathedral in the 1950s, thus technically three cathedrals share the same site.
The mainly 15th century St Michael's parish church became the seat of the new diocese of Coventry in 1918, and being one of the largest parish churches in the country it was upgraded to cathedral status without structural changes (unlike most 'parish church' cathedrals created in the early 20th century). It lasted in this role a mere 22 years before being burned to the ground in the 1940 Coventry Blitz, leaving only the outer walls and the magnificent tapering tower and spire (the extensive arcades and clerestoreys collapsed completely in the fire, precipitated by the roof reinforcement girders, installed in the Victorian restoration, that buckled in the intense heat).
The determination to rebuild the cathedral in some form was born on the day of the bombing, however it wasn't until the mid 1950s that a competition was held and Sir Basil Spence's design was chosen. Spence had been so moved by experiencing the ruined church he resolved to retain it entirely to serve as a forecourt to the new church. He envisaged the two being linked by a glass screen wall so that the old church would be visible from within the new.
Built between 1957-62 at a right-angle to the ruins, the new cathedral attracted controversy for it's modern form, and yet some modernists argued that it didn't go far enough, after all there are echoes of the Gothic style in the great stone-mullioned windows of the nave and the net vaulting (actually a free-standing canopy) within. What is exceptional is the way art has been used as such an integral part of the building, a watershed moment, revolutionising the concept of religious art in Britain.
Spence employed some of the biggest names in contemporary art to contribute their vision to his; the exterior is adorned with Jacob Epstein's triumphant bronze figures of Archangel Michael (patron of the cathedral) vanquishing the Devil. At the entrance is the remarkable glass wall, engraved by John Hutton with strikingly stylised figures of saints and angels, and allowing the interior of the new to communicate with the ruin. Inside, the great tapestry of Christ in majesty surrounded by the evangelistic creatures, draws the eye beyond the high altar; it was designed by Graham Sutherland and was the largest tapestry ever made.
However one of the greatest features of Coventry is it's wealth of modern stained glass, something Spence resolved to include having witnessed the bleakness of Chartres Cathedral in wartime, all it's stained glass having been removed. The first window encountered on entering is the enormous 'chess-board' baptistry window filled with stunning abstract glass by John Piper & Patrick Reyntiens, a symphony of glowing colour. The staggered nave walls are illuminated by ten narrow floor to ceiling windows filled with semi-abstract symbolic designs arranged in pairs of dominant colours (green, red, multi-coloured, purple/blue and gold) representing the souls journey to maturity, and revealed gradually as one approaches the altar. This amazing project was the work of three designers lead by master glass artist Lawrence Lee of the Royal College of Art along with Keith New and Geoffrey Clarke (each artist designed three of the windows individually and all collaborated on the last).
The cathedral still dazzles the visitor with the boldness of it's vision, but alas, half a century on, it was not a vision to be repeated and few of the churches and cathedrals built since can claim to have embraced the synthesis of art and architecture in the way Basil Spence did at Coventry.
The cathedral is generally open to visitors most days. For more see below:-
To draw attention to the plight of the Tasmanian devil I am going to be making a work a day throughout October inspired by Tasmanian Devils.
Tasmanian Devils population has declined by 90% in large areas of Tasmania due to Devil facial tumor disease. In November I will be taking part in the Garmin Point to Pinnacle; a 21.4km long and just over 1,270 meters in elevation run up Tasmania's Mount Wellington to raise money for The Devil Island Project www.savethetasmaniandevil.org.au
