"Preda Ringadora"
Grande blocco di marmo rosa veronese, il cui nome dialettale significa letteralmente "pietra arringatoria", documentato nella piazza dal secolo XIII. Era usata come podio per le assemblee di popolo, per le punizioni di ladri e malfattori e per le esposizioni dei morti non identificati
I agree with Will Rogers' remark that everyone is ignorant, just in different ways. And gardening is one of the things about which I am especially ignorant. While my wife was in Utah earlier this summer, I decided to plant some flowers for her, including three hibiscus plants, which bloomed quickly and then sort of withered. I thought they were dead, in fact; but my wife looked at them and said no, they were still alive.
She was proven right last evening, when I walked outside onto our back patio and saw this one blooming. I wanted to take some pictures then, but this is monsoon season in Arizona, and it was windy and blustery, with a thunderstorm approaching. I thought about this hibiscus at work today, and decided I would check on it as soon as I got home. Although this is not the same bloom I saw the previous evening, it was just as good, and this time there was no approaching thunderstorm. I took about 10 pictures, of which I liked this one best.
The water drops are there as a result of a small accident. I picked up a large bucket with the intent of sitting on it while I took my pictures; but as I turned it over, some water from last night's thunderstorm went a-flying, and a few drops of it landed on the hibiscus. I used my +3-diopter closeup filter to take this picture, and there may be a few more in the near future. There are several buds visible on this plant, and I'm tickled pink about it. Imagine it -- this hardy flower survived even my ignorance!
Mouldings are typically available in wood, pine or oak and come in a wide range of different designs and sizes. Whether you are painting or staining the mouldings, the installation process is the same. While several homes use drywall in order to add the finishing touches to the interior, mouldings offer a decorative element which can be incorporated into the overall interior design of the home. The installation of mouldings can be done with only a few tools and basic knowledge of carpentry.
Here I have been experimenting with different techniques and so on - texturing metal, using Liver of Sulphur, line folding copper, mixing together Renaissance Wax and Bronze Powder just to see what would happen when it was applied to metal.
The small piece of copper was hammered and then dipped in LoS. I then applied the Renaissance Wax mixture. It was left overnight and then I sanded it to try to get the LoS patina beneath with the Renaissance Wax and Bronze Powder mixture high-lighted on the top. This didn't happen - the wax mixture wouldn't budge so I buffed it up and it shone. Then I thought about burnishing it. I got my burnisher and went over the copper with it - it looked fabulously shiny!!!
I was also working on a basic 'Line Fold' (Fold Forming) - annealing the copper and folding it, hammering it along the fold on both sides, annealing it and then opening it carefully with a craft knife and then carefully hammering it on the front. I did this several times.
I then applied my Renaissance Wax and Bronze mixture along each 'line fold', leaving it overnight. I got my burnisher and 'burnished' along each line. It made each line shine beautifully - it doesn't show particularly well in the photo. I love experimenting - what's not to love? :-)

RACE: Are We So Different? brings together the everyday experience of living with race, its history as an idea, the role of science in that history, and the findings of contemporary science that are challenging its foundations. Interactive exhibit components, historical artifacts, iconic objects, compelling photographs, multimedia presentations, and graphic displays offer an eye-opening look at race.
This limited-engagement exhibit is open at COSI from January 28, 2012 through May 6, 2012.

Sometimes you're just on your way there and they're already on their way back or you're on your way back and they're just on their way.
Some may prefer to take it slow. Some may walk alone. Some may choose to take a rest to witness others pass by. But whatever path we choose, one thing's for sure. We're all walking for life.

I went to Luneta Park last Sunday with a special friend for a photowalk. We didn't have any concept in mind. With a lot of people and all being too conscious/unnatural when photographed, i decided to take pictures of patterns/textures using my 50mm f1.8 lens. This eventually led us to an inspiring concept.
We'll take photos of people's feet/legs while they were walking. Different people, doing different activities. A different perspective on photographing people. it was probably my most enjoyable photowalk. People were curious with what we were doing. Since we didn't have to look at the viewfinder whenever taking pictures, i did not feel much tired.
Anyway, i hope you enjoy this series. I'll post a picture on how we took pictures if you guys are interested. Hehe. Have a great weekend everyone! :)
It's easy to look at the poor and struggling and conclude that they must have made bad decisions. Who hasn't made a bad decision or taken a bad deal? The real distinction is that some have the resources to recover and some do not.

This year, 2026 is the centenary of the formation of Zeiss Ikon, a major player in European camera manufacture in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 20th century.
To mark this anniversary, I've decided to use a different Zeiss Ikon camera every two weeks throughout the year, a project I'm calling “Twenty-six in Twenty-six”.
This was taken with a Zeiss Ikon Vitessa 500 AE on Kentmere 400 film developed in used Rodinal 1:50 for 10.5 mins at 25 degrees.
The following text is an article I wrote about this camera for Amateur Photographer magazine in 2018.
Zeiss Ikon and Voigtlander are two of the great names in 20th century European camera making, they were rivals for decades, so it comes as something of a surprise to find both names appearing on one camera. The explanation is that the former bought the latter in 1956, and for a short time around 1970, both names appeared on some of the cameras.
It was week 410 of my self imposed quest to use a different film camera each week when the Vitessa 500 AE's turn came. I think it's fair to say that in the eight years of the project so far, I've learned a little bit about a lot of cameras. Even one I've never seen before usually yields up its secrets without too much effort, but the 500 AE had me stumped. The AE stands for auto exposure, and the system uses a CdS sensor, therefore somewhere, there must be a battery, but however hard I searched, I couldn't for the life of me find where it goes. Luckily the internet came to the rescue, and showed me where to look. The panels either side of the lens slide out sideways to reveal two batteries, one on each side. The large flat PX 825s, around the size of a 10p piece, are the now obsolete, but I got around this by using the smaller, and still widely available PX 625 cells, wedging them in place with two pieces of polystyrene cut from the packaging of a frozen pizza.
Another thing I have had to learn over the years is how to manage frustration and disappointment. Many of the cameras I use are elderly, and most have been resting for a long time, so technical problems, large and small are part of the fun. From the trivial, such as an exposure counter which doesn't work, to the catastrophic, like the whole lens and shutter assembly falling off mid shot, I've had to cope with them all. I've also learnt that even if a camera appears fully functional, you never really know whether it's working until the negatives are hanging up to dry.
I sensed there was a problem, when rewinding the first film took only a couple of turns of the crank, clearly the film hadn't been advancing, and all the exposure were piled on top of one another in the first few centimetres. I worked out that the base of the ever ready case was pressing against the rewind crank and preventing the film from moving. For a second time the polystyrene pizza base saved the day, by providing a little spacer to keep the crank free.
The Vitessa 500 AE is a compact and sophisticated model, ideal for taking on holiday. It doesn't have a built in rangefinder, but away from full aperture a guesstimate distance is fine and the aperture priority automatic exposure system will give long exposures if necessary
