So many faces surround me,
Unrecognizable now.
They're all the same - in so many ways,
I cannot tell them apart.
It's the differences I look for, when I try my best to find you.
It's the similar faces - that confuse me.
I'll be lost here without you,
Until I find a way to see you.
Although you stand right before me,
It is as though my eyes are blinded.
Until I find my way to you,
I'll be here searching - alone - in a sea of faces.
Until I figure out a way to see more clearly-
& See the similar differences - between you & the other million faces.
Until then,
I'll be here.

Spot the difference!
One on left is a bit more yellow!
One on right is more faded..
One on left came into service in Jan 2013, the one on the right came into service a month earlier in Dec 2012.
But the main difference is that the bright shiny one on the left has only done 173,546 miles.
Whereas the poor faded one on the right has done 281,037 miles!! That's 107,491miles more!! No wonder it's a bit faded! :)
Plus this is the one we were working on last night!
I work for Yorkshire Ambulance Service in and around the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
It’s a great job and I feel very honoured to be able to help people at their point of need.

Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.
McCain.
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.
To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.
To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
This is your victory.
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you, we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.
This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.
Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons -- because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America -- the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.
And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.
Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves -- if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.
This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

On 6 July 2005, London won its bid to host the 2012 Olympics. The capital celebrated, into the evening.
This is my picture story... it started on 6 July. After work, I took my mobile phone, a k700i, for an evening wander around Trafalgar Square. The following evening I returned, retracing my steps, retaking some of the images.
I didn't know it when I took this photo, but it turned out that the next day, 7 July, was to be a very different one.
I have made a set, starting with this image and with the same title as this shot: 'What a difference a day makes' Probably best to view it as a slideshow, although there are comments throughout, because it's really a narrative.
The pictures, taken on my mobile, are a kind of tale... my story... over those two days in July 2005.
This particular photo, taken in the late evening light of 6/7/2005, was the eve of 7/7... I nearly deleted it... the timing is one of those flukes... but perhaps it's a symbol of hope.
A picture with a difference this morning. This shows part of the huge queue snaking its way waiting to get into Donny Works for the hastily convened and little advertised event to give Deltic fans one last chance to see their heroes before the cutting torch took hold. I was as surprised as everyone else by the huge numbers that turned up on this admittedly perfect winter day. It was very frustrating waiting in line as you could hear Napiers repeatedly being run up and a few have already climbed walls to get a sneaky glimpse.
Does anyone recognise themselves 30 years later?
I only had one roll of 24 exposure Kodachrome 25 so it was quite adventurous to expend a valuable exposure on a picture of the queue, but after three decades it is probably the one shot that tells the story best and is almost certainly the rarest too!
This is a double page spread in my art journal. It's hard to read all the words, but the various sayings are:
"The only difference between Beasty and Beauty is U." (BEA?TY. ? = U)
"You choose to conquer your fears of the beasty within and let your beauty shine."
"Connect to your beasty. It is beauty in disguise."
"You are both beauty and beast. You can connect to both. Both are real. Be U."
"Conquer your fears that your beast is not beautiful."
"Courage to be U"
"Learn to Love the Beast wtihin!"
"Take away the CON and you have a Queen." (Here are the words CONNECT and CONQUER. When you take away the CON in each word you are left with NECTQUER. Re-arrange the letters and you have "Queen." Many of us try to "con" our way to beauty by trying to look pretty on the outside and hiding the beast within. It's a con game. To truely be a Queen, we must conquer our fears of our inner beast, and connect to our inner beauty).

One difference that I have noticed between Northern Ireland and the Republic is that when I am photographing in NI I am asked why I am taking photographs [my standard answer is “the boss told me”] but in the ROI they ask about my camera … the make … the lens, etc.
For some reason when I visit a location to take photographs I attract two types of unwelcome attention: [1] people who would like to steal my camera. Last year, at this exact location, someone did try to do so. [2] Officials and security guards appear to consider my actives as being suspect but they can never decide exactly why when the confront me. In this instance while they [warden and crew] were initially a great distance away from me I could see through the viewfinder that they had noticed me and as a result had decided to change course in order to investigate.
Spot the difference. Be in the spotlight!
Here's your chance to show us how good an eye you have for fashion. See if you can spot all the differences before your friends can!

The most noticable difference is the hair, and by that I mean the styling and amount of tinsel in the hair.
I'd venture that Abbey's original doll contained 50% or more tinsel than the remaining white and the streak of under colors. There was nothing to be done about it - tinsel everywhere & it made her hair impossible to do anything with.
With Skull Shores abbey, tinsel is only placed around the farthest outer hairline with the rest just being regular doll hair. In addition, the styling and parting is very nice and much like DT Frankie before her, the hair is nicely rooted and quite full.
Both of these things lend to easier and more diverse hair play possibilities.

I decided that it might be a fun thing to pit two ASA-25 speeds films against one another. I've always called RPX 25 a spiritual successor to APX 25, but what is the difference between these two films? What surprised me is not only how different they are, but also how similar they are!
