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 gave her a face up yesterday, but that was harder than I believed it would be.
At some point I even wished I had bought the painted head.
And after working really hard to have the weekend off....
Sun was promised, instead I got rain and grey skies. So I still can't make any pictures outside and that's really frustrating.
I changed her eyes and wig.
The wig is a Monique bubble cut wig. I love Monique wigs, they are synthetic mohair, so soft and natural looking.
I hope you are able to see that she's got two different eyes. I liked that. Unfortunately the weather is so bad that I can't even make a normal picture inside :(
They are anime style eyes from Parabox. All bought at Think Pink! I love that store!
I made the skirt and her head bands. The top is from a Barbie fashion pack.
Now I need to redo her face up, but the rain pulled me from my doll mood.
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!
Failed with isolation but other than that I am quite happy with the capture. One day I will learn my photoshop to blur the BG in post.

I think I'm going to submit this to Fail blog!
LOLz this is for you Justin.

More to come...I'll catch up with everyone real soon!
So, we begin our journey through The Huntington Library with a fun photo, properly cooked up in HDR for Slider Sunday.
I was feeding this guy a few pecans as I was sitting on a bench resting and then he hopped up on the bench with me to look for more.
When I got up to shoot a couple of pics, he decided to investigate where the pecans were coming from by diving into my purse.
You gotta hand it to the little guy, he has good taste. Went right for my last Justin's dark chocolate peanut butter cup!
However, when he yanked the package out of the side pocket, he only had hold of the liner tray so the rest of it fell gently to the ground, right side up.
I proceeded to enjoy a mean girl moment only seconds after this shot was taken by picking up said peanut butter cup and eating it while pointing and laughing at poor Mr. Squirrel. LOL
Now, this is not to say Mr. Squirrel didn't have plenty of pecans...

Diptych images taken with the Pentax 17.
I had a few fails were I misjudged the distance and the photos were out of focus and I'm still trying to get used to the framing for the in-between focal distances. Overall, I'm very impressed with the camera and the sharpness of the lens. All of the diptyches were unintentional, which made them more delightful.

some more film developed from August 2016
unfortunately I failed to keep track of dates, film etc. ... oh well :-)
I was playing with the new infro-flabomanmeter with the advance copy of the D850 that Nikon sent me, and realized there was a layer that my eye - and my d810 - had failed to pick up! I am creeped out, and sending you all a warning! Aliens are among us! While you were sleeping....
Having failed to tick all the performance boxes on its load test in Dec 2018, Ex LNER B1 4-6-0: 61306 Mayflower returned to the Carnforth circuit today to demonstrate all the necessary performance requirements.
With much of the Carnforth to Settle Junc line blanketed in low lying cloud and freezing mist finding a view in excess of 50 metres was difficult- however close to Giggleswick summit on the eastbound accent, Armistead bridge affords a view of the loco working hard, with WCRC 37669 attached at the rear.
Sicily, the largest Mediterranean island, has a long history, that starts around 8000 BC, but later there were Phoenician, Carthaginian, Greek, and Roman periods. After the Roman Empire had fallen apart the Vandals tried to take over the island but failed. Finally, the Ostrogoths took possession.
Mid of the 6th century Sicily was conquered by troops of the Byzantine Empire. After the advent of Islam, Sicily got attacked by Arab forces. Raids seeking loot continued until the mid-8th century.
A Muslim army was sent to the island in 827 but met with much resistance. So it took a century to conquer it and even later revolts constantly occurred
In 1038 the Byzantines invaded the island supported by Norman mercenaries, led by Roger. In 1072, after the siege of Palermo, most of Sicily was under Norman control. Roger´s son Roger II raised the status of the island to a kingdom in 1130. During this period, the Kingdom of Sicily was prosperous and powerful.
The court of Roger II became melting out of culture from Europe and the Middle East. This attracted scholars, scientists, artists, and artisans. Muslims, Jews, Greeks, Lombards, and Normans cooperated and created some extraordinary buildings.
In 1186 the last descendant of Roger, Constance of Sicily married Emperor Henry VI, the second son of Barbarossa. So the crown of Sicily was passed on to the Hohenstaufen Dynasty. Frederick II, the only son of Constance, was crowned King of Sicily at the age of four in 1198. He became "Stupor Mundi", one of the greatest and most cultured men of the Middle Ages.

Marsala was founded in 397 BC. founded. Founded by the Carthaginians under the name of Lilybaion. It was considered impregnable and was besieged several times without success. It was the last Carthaginian base in Sicily at the end of the Punic Wars.
Since the end of the Western Roman Empire, the fortress lost importance and fell into the hands of the Arabs in 827, who rebuilt it. It was the first city in Italy to come under Islamic rule.
The town was also promoted under Norman rule. In the middle of the 16th century, after unsuccessful battles against barbarian corsairs from Algeria, the port was filled in and the city lost its supremacy to Trapani.
In 1773 the Englishman John Woodhouse founded a wine production in Marsala. By 1814 there were already four major British wineries and the city was thriving again. Today Marsala is the center of viticulture in western Sicily. This is where the Marsala wine comes from.

The church faces Piazza del Purgatorio. The church stands on the same site as the former Church of Santi Fabiano and Sebastiano. Enlarged after a plague, the building houses the Congregazione delle Anime del Purgatorio (Congregation of Souls of Purgatory) in 1601, from which it takes its name.
Completely remodeled in 1669 and completed in 1710. The façade, composed of columns decorated with garlands of fruit, entablatures, and cornices is Baroque in inspiration. It does not have the grim "memento mori" decor, most of the other "Purgatorio churches" have.
I have already uploaded a lot of photos previously taken in Sicily. Now I will add only a few. If you want to see more, follow this link:
After the conquest of Britain under Emperor Claudius, the Romans founded the city of "Isca Dumnoniorum" on the site where a Celtic settlement already existed. Numerous sections of the Roman city wall have survived to this day.
In the 7th century, the city fell to Wessex. An Anglo-Saxon monastery was built here around 680. In 876, the Danes attacked Exeter and occupied it briefly, but Alfred the Great was able to drive them out a year later and had the Roman city wall repaired. In 893, Alfred was able to hold the city against a Danish attack for a second time.
In 1001, the Danes again failed to take control of Exeter. However, after the town came into the possession of Emma of Normandy in 1002 through her marriage to Æthelred the Unready as part of her dowry, Emma's steward allowed the Danes under Sven Forkbeard to enter Exeter and sack the city the following year.
In 1050 the seat of the bishopric, formed in 1032 from the bishoprics of Cornwall and Crediton, was transferred to Exeter and Leofric became the first bishop of the bishopric of Exeter.
In 1068 the town was besieged by Norman troops of William the Conqueror, to whom it had refused to swear allegiance, and surrendered after 18 days. The Norman ruler had the fortress of Rougemont built here. However, the Bishop of Exeter also acted as a landowner and feudal lord, as mentioned in the Domesday Book.
In the early stages of the civil war that broke out after the death of Henry I, Baldwin de Redvers held Exeter for three months in 1136 against King Stephen, but then surrendered. Henry II granted Exeter its first charter.
In the 13th century, Exeter developed into the most important city in the southwest of England. It exported tin and cloth, among other things. From 1295 onwards, it sent representatives to the English Parliament.
Exeter had to survive several more sieges, for example in 1467 during the Wars of the Roses, in 1497 by the pretender to the throne Perkin Warbeck and in 1549 by insurgents from Cornwall and Devon who rebelled against the religious reforms of Edward VI, while Exeter remained loyal to the king.
During the English Civil War (1642-1649), Exeter was initially on the side of the supporters of Parliament, but was conquered by the Royalists in 1643 and held for King Charles I for almost three years.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1112 in the Norman/Romanesque style. The outer walls of the nave and the two colossal square towers, which now serve as the transept, are still preserved from this building. The architect of the Romanesque predecessor had resorted to this unusual solution because the crossing towers, which had previously been built according to English tradition, had collapsed.
The new Gothic building began in 1224. The Lady Chapel, a single-nave building with three bays, marked the beginning. Around 1280/90, the retrochoir and the nave followed in the dimensions of the Romanesque church. At about the same time (1270/1280), the chapter house was added to the south transept.
The choir stalls were made in the 1870s by Sir Gilbert Scott. More than 40 medieval misericords from the mid 13th century were integrated.
This misericord is one of the medieval examples.
This is the oldest known depiction of an elephant in Britain - and it is anatomically quite accurate.
Only three elephants were seen in Europe between 800 and 1300.
1. ‘Abul Abbas’ (+810), owned by Charlemagne, a gift from Harun al-Rashid.
2. The ‘Cremona Elephant’ owned by Frederik II in 1229, a gift from Al-Kamil al-Malik.
3.The elephant that Louis IX (Saint Louis) brought to France on his return from the sixth crusade in 1255 and gave to Henry III. This elephant died in London in 1258.
The artist who created this misericord must have seen Henry III's elephant in London or at least had some kind of drawing of it.

Cup + Wall + Enemy talking = Fool proof plan...right?
Sometimes, even the most simple of spy techniques fail...mostly due to a lack of windows.
A creation made last year, but I've never finished it. Lots of flaws, may rebuild it, but better.

Obituary of another 60s Housing Scheme.
Kidbrooke Housing Scheme (later known as Ferrier Estate).
Architects: GLC Architects Department, 1967-72.
It saddens me to write the first chapter of this mostly visual obituary of a failed scheme now facing demolition. I feel honour bound to say some words to defend some very hardworking architects, with whom I had the honour to work with as a young student. These people, most of them no longer with us, were hard working, sincere and conscientious and gave their best to a scheme they seriously believed would house generations of happy and satisfied residents.
The subject of disastrous housing schemes of this period has been endlessly discussed and dissected by some very able writers and critics and I don’t feel this is right place to repeat various views which are already well known.
However, I would like to address a few words to Flickr viewers who often write vitriolic comments about this and similar estates, when they see some sad and depressing photographs of these decaying estates facing demolition and immediately start attacking ‘Planners and Architects’ for committing these atrocities against the human race.
Again, this is an understandable first reaction and with the benefit of the hindsight it is easy to say and admit that some very serious mistakes were made in the housing development of this period.
If you were living in the middle of ‘Jerusalem’ when it was being built and the new, spacious houses were being occupied by happy people delighted by these new estates, you would have found it difficult to believe that in not so distant a future such a sad outcome could have been remotely possible.
All I would like to say here is that there are a huge number of factors which influenced the outcome of these large housing schemes, a very dubious concept in its own right. The factors like political and social environment at the time of inception and occupation, financial controls with ‘sticks’ and ‘carrots’, the importance of choosing the appropriate residents, day to day management and maintenance, sufficient finances for maintaining and if necessary, eliminating the ‘failure’ as they become apparent and encouraging residents to actively take over the management of their own environments, were hardly understood by most of the bureaucracies involved in the whole process.
The examples exist of identical or near identical schemes where one has turned out to be a winner in most respects and the ‘identical twin’ had to be demolished because it was considered to be a complete failure and intensely hated by the occupants.
It would be nice to think that some understanding of these issues is available and grasped before ‘off the cuff’ insults are scattered at only one or two parties concerned.
The photographs I have shown above were taken during construction and early occupation period. The current state of this scheme is well illustrated by Flickr member ‘Waterford Man’. Please see his set on the following link for the current situation;
