A dodgy clutch on the Kodak Retina meant I had to open the back a few times whilst shooting. I didn't always do this in a completely dark place
a failed attempt at the (then) impossible hill.
having already soundly kicked the 'im' from the impossible hill, spanner turns his back in shame and heads for the hill conquering jeep
I sort of had this in mind when I first learned of this week's assignment, but spent the weekend looking for a better opportunity. This is a self-portrait taken with the two second shutter release timer and a tripod. I connected a dead 386 laptop to the monitor to get an authentic display. If this had been an actual system failure the model (me) would have been tearing around the house throwing things rather than in the pose shown
Entry for Week 31, Fail (03/09/09) Staged at Studio Conpix, San Francisco, California.
I love the kind of things you can find in Ollies! I wish I knew a couple who was from Nebraska and Kansas who had a small child. Too bad it was $7.99. Seems a little expensive for as screwed up as it is.
Taken shortly before frogging, this shows detail of a scarf made from Wavy, a Knitty pattern. It did not look at all like the pattern photos. It was full of weird lumps and ridges. None of this is attributable to the yarn, which was Cascade 220 superwash in a lovely aqua. Photo by Kathy C.

On a self induced project I spent some time trying to get a good shot of my dogs and cats together...the lovely Zuva posed willingly as ever (well she got bored but still posed looking bored at least!) Tay claimed the cats were going to eat her (they would too!) Taz claimed it was too boring to even consider joining in and Songie supervised from the highest point possible (got nice expression from Zuva though!) - ah well another time!
Somehow I lost you... somewhere along the way. I'm not sure how. One day we were happy, and the next, it was cold and empty.. distant. I've failed you, and I'm sorry.
Not only this was this Porsche pushed because of a failed engine, it was pushed against the traffic. Luckily for the geniuses, it was a Monday evening in DuPont Cirlce.
This is a storm water control dam on the down hill side of the Development at Hull and Winterpock taken in August 2008 after a rain. The muddy water is not held by the dam and flows in to a stream that flows directly into the reservior. For Details on the difficulty of controlling Chesterfield's fine soils see the following weblink. The only thing that works to capture the soil and get the water back into the ground is a forrested buffer as used in Low Impact Development.

Pictures sent to Chesterfiled County and Mudbusters at www.cbf.org in April about failed sediment control.
The second side of the paper. I wasn't trying to seriously draw it with any of these, but I was trying to get the basic idea laid out.
The hilt, the knot, and then the blade.
I put footnotes, mentioning everything to know about the blade, although in this scan, I'm sure it's hard to read.
I know what the vine sword looks like in my head. As clear as day.
I KNOW there's nothing else like it, anywhere else, that it's my idea, completely and totally unique to me. (The name? 'Course not. The DESIGN? Yes, yes it is! :) )
I just can't draw it.
(Shame, considering how often I use it in my novels...)

We were so close! I tried to make it up but forgot the crucial step of mixing in flour to get the zucchini to dry out a bit. Consequently they fell apart in the oil and tasted great but looked like crap ;) We had these with a corn and guacamole salsa with lime on it. Yummy.
So we were standing in line at The Real Canadian Superstore tonight, and don't I look out to an amazing sight; the sun's setting, and there are jet streams going through it, which sort of looked like claws... so I'm anxious to get to the car, which had my camera, but I don't think any of the shots turned out all that well :( Note to self, keep camera in pocket from now on...
I love the dotted squiggles in this one lol
