It helps to remember to put the lid on the developing tank before opening the changing bag.
Unsalvageable.

Yesterday I was so sick that I couldn't come to the office - fitst time since I can remeber. I'm usually very healthy. However, when I do catch a cold, it almost invariably attracts an opportunistic bacterial infection and I get very sick in only two or three days. I started Cipro yesterday morning and today I'm back to work.
I'm now so far behind (it's the 19th here now - the last post is dated the 16th), that I don't know if I'll catch up. I thank TELIKOM for that. If I can find a cheapy shyster in Madang today, I'm going to file a million Kina lawsuit against the clowns just for the sake of harrassment.
Here's this morning's sunrise, the first nice one for several weeks: Since I had notheing better to do that tn harrass TELIKOM yesterday, insisted that a data technician come to my house and do a data transmission test from there to the exchange. The results were exactly what I've been telling them for the last five years. The decades-old cable are totally incapable of transmitting data. This morning, when I got up, I didn't even have a dial tome.
Here's a typical shot of a TELIKOM junction box: What have we here? Hmm. . . Among other items that don't belong there are water, buai spet (the horrible bloody-looking stuff that is spat from the mouth when chewing betel nut), various bits and pieces of garbage, and someone's shoe. I have seen worse. The seem to make a convenient place to, ah, . . . how can I put this . . . take a dump. I wonder if this is a matter of bodily necessity or a comment about TELIKOM. I'v been tempted.
Need more TELIKOM goodness? How about this shot that I took only this morning outside my own office: Well, that certainly doesn't look quite so messy. However, close inspection shows some serious no-no items. First is the continual flooding. I've often seen this box full to the brim with water. Chek out the silly attemtps to plug the thing up with scraps of tape. The black bulb contains all of the junctions between the wires. It is supposed to be water-tight. Does it look water-tight to you?
I've had it with TELIKOM.
From now on, it's WAR! Startomg TODAY.
I thought brazing on a nipple would reinforce the joint, but the fitting was too loose to contain the filler metal and because of excessive work time the remaining filler crystallized into a very brittle structure, eroding the base metal as well.
It would probably hold better if joined on a solid rod, but I would never know. I just replaced this whole contraption with a heavy-duty motorcycle bar on a dual BMX stem.

I was trying to take a selfie with the parakeets, but they kept moving and landing on my cameraphone, and Irene kept grabbing me because she was freaking out about all the birds!
Last night, I veered past "auto" on my camera and tried out the Tv setting and used a slow shutter.
I wanted lots of light streaks from the cars passing me by.
*sigh*
I'm goin back to the safety of Auto.
So- I have this very nice Rolleiflex old standard. I bought it on ebay in 2001 and got totally screwed ("perfect working order" -my hairy backside)- the shutter was sticking, the front standard fell off and the mirror is not very reflective. Recently I worked up the courage to try and fix it- sorted the shutter, cleaned and re-lubed most of the moving parts and got everything running tickety-boo. I found out on the interweb that you can use a mirror from a polaroid 600 type camera. I got one, and today tried to cut it down. It didn't work very well
I think i'll just buy a brand new mirror already cut to size....
The truck carrying all the searchlights was about to get off the tracks at Loomis Street when a mechanical failure to the truck caused it not to be able to lift up its railroad wheels! It had to park at East Naperville until they sent someone out to fix it. Naperville, IL
okay, I know this is not Hi Key. the grandparents asked for some high key shots to match some other family photos they have. So I independently lit the background to make it super white, epic win. and put the key light in the front of some kiddie chairs and asked the boys to sit. They of course did not. Firstly they moved the chairs to against the wall, and being blondes their hair immediately picked up the back light and proceeded to make their head disappear. so I turned off the back light, and they continued to move chairs around.
Check out the other epic fails below.
Epic High Key fail.
ODC Trend, high key with white background is very trendy (well it does look fab darling).
sorry about all the kiddie shots lately.
For the theme "Fail".
I spelt it wrong, see? :-)
Just wanted a go at doing some torch writing really, hadn't done it before. Pity the backdrop is our dining room though.

This goes to me because I didn't take any pictures today. I guess tomorrow I'll just take double or triple or something because I'm going to the city. But I didn't want to leave ya'll with nothing so I give you this. Me being bored with index cards, a sharpie, and a mac.
The 50x70cm poster "Dr.Fail" is our participation for the SEEAR Exhibition 2013 themed "Superheroes".
The brief was to create a character and visualize him through a poster.
-
The poster exhibits the origins of Dr.Fail through three basic timelines. Two of them are centered around his personal life and events, that inspired him to build machines and weird inventions, most of which failed miserably. The third timeline is focused on his relationship with Megumi, the girl who unwillingly broke his heart and transformed him to a super villain.
-
The idea behind the poster is not to show the character itself, but instead allow the viewer, through an emotional association, to visualize the character based on similar experiences. The color theme and the choise of the data circle, was inspired by the character's japanese origin, which is enhanced by the use of english and japanese languages for the legend and text of the poster.
