After attempting to phot the Slag train in the station whilst static and failing dramatically as it was late and didn't stop, I opted for this shot looking over at Barrow Carriage Sidings. Ignore the flare as I've lost my lens hood.
Aunque no lo crean ahí en esa explanada era el habitat de la Neooreophilus vieira-perezianus, alguien lo desapareció y ahora esta extinta en ambiente natural.
After hearing the IAIS 513 might be leading CBBI I decided I would go to Utica, IL to catch it. Well I heard some radio traffic the dispatcher was talking to BNSF 7492 all I could say was crap I really said S@#T. But oh well this train BNSF CP and four NS unit's it's just something you don't expect on the IAIS. At least the picture came out alright. 7-4-14
It's been two weeks since my latest encounter with a stranger.
Today I was lucky to run into another lovely stranger, Nina 26y/o, and her 11 months old dog, Mökö.
They were walking around my favourite bay in town in my opposite direction.
I approached her from a short distance by asking in Finnish what was the matter with her dog.
She detected instantly my accent, haha, and answered in English.
Nina wanted to hear a bit more about my photo project-- obviously it hasn't been too flowing lately due to that nasty Corona virus-- I briefed her and she agreed to participate.
Nina has graduated a couple of years ago and is working for the time being in an IT company.
We talked about the situation in the USA, mainly racism, and when I asked her for a message Nina said:
"Believe in the good in people!"
I sure want to believe and to hope that racism will be uprooted once and for all and that the black people in America will have justice.
"A riot is the language of the unheard", Dr Martin Luther King said in 1966. More than five decades have passed since and still America has failed to heard them.

Nina's advice to her younger self: " Be proud of yourself!"
In her free time she likes to practice yoga and sports.
Needless to say that Mökö is her biggest hobby :-)

I'm a turkey roastin' son-of-a-gun! LOL HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Everyone!
Don't be afraid to roast a turkey! Here's a virtually fool-proof method! (First off, can you roast a chicken? Then you can roast a turkey...a turkey's just a big-ass chicken...treat it as such.)
I don't know if this is a "recipe" per se, but here's a way to cook a turkey and get the above results every single time.
First, make sure that you've removed all of the bags of giblets from your bird. Wash it well. Here comes the big secret...do this, and your roasting is basically a "set it and forget it" type procedure, whether it's chicken, turkey, a roast, etc: Pour about 1/8" of cooking oil into your roasting pan; place your bird in the pan, breast side up, and slide it around on the oil to coat its backside. Now pour about 1/2" of water into the roasting pan. The oil will keep the bird from sticking, and the water will keep the bird from drying out. Now you can riff on all kinds of rubs, seasonings, etc: You can stuff the bird's cavity with oranges and lemons if you desire; rub garlic on the turkey and insert whole cloves of garlic into the cavity; devise a rub or simply use salt and pepper or Lawry's seasoned salt. Thyme goes good on a turkey!
Now that your bird is properly prepared and seasoned here's the most important part: Follow the cooking directions that came on the bird's packaging!!! Your bird has a weight...round that up: If your bird weighs 15.68 pounds round that up to 16 pounds...then follow the packaging direction for cooking a bird of that weight. Typically oven temperatures will be between 300 and 320 degrees. You're cooking low and slow!
About 1 and a half to 2 hours into the roasting take a look at your turkey...don't be afraid to open the oven door and slide the rack out so that you can get a good look. When the skin is about as brown as you want it to be place a tent of aluminum foil over the bird and return it to the oven to finish cooking. I usually like to remove the tent after the bird is done and allow the skin to brown just a tad more.
How do you know when the bird is done? If you're an experienced cook it's pretty easy...if you're worried about it then simply use a meat thermometer...but that can sometimes be an inaccurate method...the thermometer might say that the bird's reached the proper internal temperature, but maybe you want the bird a little more done. If you cook much at all you can look at the bird and tell when it's about how you want it. If all else fails go by the package directions...just cook it for that amount of time, tenting as necessary to keep the skin from burning.
Don't ever, ever, ever rely on those stupid pop-up doneness indicators that some processors insert into their birds. I haven't seen one in awhile, but if yours has one...take it out! They're about as useless as tits on a boar hog!
When your bird's done remove it from the oven, take it carefully out of the roasting pan and place it onto a carving board / serving platter. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before you carve it.
Enjoy!

Epic fail Guess this shot is what you can describe with "epic fail". Was out with my cam the night before to do some street shots and had it configured for ISO6400. The day after I went with my tripod to the woods next to my office to get some nice shots and recognised at home all my shots had been taken with ISO6400 :( Noise is there, but nevertheless I like this shot. Shot taken with #xpro2 and #xf23 1.4 Wish you all the best! Processed in #Lightroom using #vsco #ektachrome64T++ color curve and #classicchrome camera profile.

Diana+ und ein Fuji Superia Iso 100. Negativscan. Man, da ist so einiges schief gelaufen :D Nina Hagen: Farbfilm
It's been a full and interesting week of work, today will be the 5th photo-shoot of the week, and each one a very different subject. Back on Tuesday i did a location shoot with the band "When Prophecy Fails"
Had a great time shooting with these guys, if you do facebook, head over to www.facebook.com/WhenProphecyFails?fref=ts and give them a LIKE.
Shot a lot of different styles, not sure yet which one they will choose as the cover for their new EP, you can see all the choices (around 150 shots) in the 'galleries' section of my website.
Might try and set up a little facebook vote for it this evening, if anyone has done something like that before and has any tips?

Surprise, a GWR Class 3800...
And I’m not happy with it so far. I’ve run out of pieces and inspiration to keep going. The proportions aren’t there and I can’t master the shaping of the boiler...
But, I think I know what I’m going to change it into... #streamlined
Konica Auto S2, Hexanon 1,8/40, Rollei IR 400, Haida 720 filter.
Winter, midday, shutter priority.
Adonal 1+24 home development.
Sorry for the underwear emphasized by the black IR filter. I know, it's an epic fail.
31 180 heads east up the main line at South Stoke with a failed DMU set. Earlier in the day the loco had taken over 2V62, the 1105 Weymouth - Swindon at Westbury, so presumably was taking the DMU for maintenance, possibly at Reading
31178 tows a failed Class 104 DMU through Mytholmroyd forming 5Z39 Halifax to Newton Heath. 19/11/86.
Yes, I failed to upload a photo yesterday. I didn't forget until about 9 in the evening, but after dealing with a demanding person, I totally forgot about this project before I fell asleep at like 10 o'clock.
I feel really bad about it. However I don't want to give up here. So here I'm uploading a random pic as a makeup for yesterday's.
I'm really sorry for myself.
Ughhhh anyway it's one of big holidays in Korea tomorrow. So today I'm gonna help my mom prepare food and stuff. Also, I won't forget to take a photo and upload it today!!!
So let's have a great day.
I may have failed this year but next year I will be back and ready to SHIP!
I have learned a few valuable lessons from this year and from my first (still in progress) SHIP:-
1) Dedicate a few extra days (not just weekends, like this time) to actual building!
2) Have my collection sorted and ready to go, BEFORE September (I lost at least a day and a half sorting bricks so that I could find things).
3) Use LDD to sketch out ideas early in the process (rather than the more hit and miss 'start building and see what happens' method that I used this year) so that I know what I am working with and aiming for, and tied to this......
4)..... work out earlier the bricks I need from Bricklink so that I don't end up having to make important but late orders (which shot me in the foot this year - I am still waiting for my final order to come!!)
5) Maybe ease back on the play function details :-s As much as I love to add them, it does take me time to sort them out and get them working (I spent waaay too much time on my harpoons this year!)
6) Make sure that I get involved next time and have at least as much fun as I had this year! Even though I didn't finish in time, I have really loved the whole vibe of SHIPtember. It has certainly given my building a much needed boost and it has been great seeing everyone get fired up about building SHIPs and turning out some outstanding creations (even the unfinished ones!)
Are there any more months with building challenges? I know that we are now in MA.Ktober, but I am not sure I can do that one :-s Perhaps GARC does need a month? (even though it is still badass!)
Powered up my Instax for Polaroid Week and the first photo was a fail. I was trying to snap a picture at the vegetable stand. I'll try again!
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 24-Dec-25.
First flown with the ATR test registration F-WWEQ in Jan-95, this aircraft was stored at Toulouse, France until it was leased to Gill Airways, UK as G-BWDA in Jun-95. Gill Air ceased operations in Sep-01, the aircraft was returned to ATR and initially stored at Newcastle, UK.
It was sold to Aeronautix Leasing as F-WQNG in Oct-01 and transferred to Dinard, France for further storage. The aircraft was transferred to Montpelier, France in Aug-02 and was repainted in full Aero Malaysiana livery as 9M-AMB by the following month.
Unfortunately, Aero Malaysiana failed to gain Certification from the Malaysian Authorities and the lease was cancelled. It remained stored until it was leased to Aurigny Air Services (Guernsey, Channel Islands) as G-BWDA in Aug-03.
The aircraft was wet-leased, short term, to Aer Arann (Ireland) for just over two weeks in Mar-05. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Jul-09 and leased to Royal Air Maroc Express as CN-COB the following month.
It was returned to the lessor in Oct-12 and stored at Monchengladbach, Germany. It was re-registered T7-COB in Jun-13 and remained stored (The registration prefix 'T7' is San Marino - see below).
In mid 2015 the aircraft was due to be sold in the Philippines to the Alphaland Balesin Island Club as RP-C9017, however the sale was cancelled and it remained stored. In Nov-15 it was ferried to Toulouse-Francazal for freighter conversion.
It was sold to Summit Air Charter (Canada) as C-GJPY in Jan-16. The freighter conversion was completed at the end of Jul-16 and the aircraft was delivered to Canada. It was stored at Edmonton, AB, Canada in Apr-20, presumably due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It returned to service a few months later. Current, updated 24-Dec-25.
Note: San Marino is described as "an Enclaved European microstate surrounded by Italy". It's officially The Republic of San Marino, also known as The Most Serene Republic of San Marino! It does have an airfield which can take aircraft up to small business-jets)
I tried really hard to get this young Thomson gazelle's attention. Obviously, I failed! :)
Have a lovely day, everyone...
She was so focused on using the staff for the first time she failed to notice she was holding her Blade of Eplear backwards.

some of my photos are bad, some are dull. a fair few are total fails.
decided to start showing the "best" of the fails.
I think I'm going to submit this to Fail blog!
LOLz this is for you Justin.
Taken at the NY Toy Fair at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, NYC.
More to come...I'll catch up with everyone real soon!
This is another of those ones that I have spent ages searching for the same location today and failed to find - if anyone happened to know that's be great! Certainly confident it is Bordesley area.
Edit Update:- Thanks to Digger Man's comment below, location found, 126 Highgate Road and now Karachi's restaurant. It happens to be right opposite what is now Sparkbrook Service Station, a former Texaco site.
