There she rests, awaiting the next step. My first time turning a main hull :)

Over eight years after I helped my mother get an iMac DV. Four years after all of my geek freinds shut off their linux-running PCs and switched to Mac, I finally get one myself. MacBook 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD. It actually arrived yesterday (July 1st) but I was entirely too busy to snap a photo of it. This will not be my primary machine, but my (duh) mobile computer, and DJ workstation. I'm still sorting out what programs I'm going to use. Obvious choices are Serato/Traktor Scratch, Ableton Live, Mixmeister. I'm also looking into DMX-512 interfaces to control my lighting rig. EXIF peepers will note that this photo was edited on a Wintel. I don't have PS for OSX yet.

Edit: Re-added to the Macintosh pool to celebrate my lappy's first birthday. I missed the actual day (July 1st) because I was busy ...using my lappy. Since october of '08, it has been my only computer. I hope to add a 20" or 24" iMac sometime soon.

Finally got these film scans back, these were taken on my birthday weekend last year (17th November 2012). These were sent away to a Newcastle photo lab at the same time as the Blackpool slide film, b&w film and Findhorn photos.

Camera used was a Halina 110 Motor. I sadly can't remember what film I used.

Two great pictures from Lusummers on Etsy.

Finally complete.

Finally got a good shot of Dave's performance

It took awhile but I finally got out to do some ballet slipper modeling for my slipper fans…and I know there’s a few out there. I wore them with 3 different pairs of legwear to try and satisfy most needs. Enjoy!!💕

Summer has finally started at Zandvoort Beach.

Finally finished all the open files I had for 2018 with some insect pics.

This is the first time we've been to Islands Of Adventure when both of them are tall enough to go on all the rides!

It has been a tradition of mine to cook Thanksgiving for my family and some of my friends for 3 years now. Every year while everything is baking and my pies are done cooling to take a Thanksgiving/cooking themed photograph. In 2011 my image was the basic housewife theme. In 2012 I did the basic housewife again but I also added in a terrible chief. This year it seems that all of my pictures are about a clumsy chief. They include mashing egg shells into the dough, pouring A LOT of cinnamon right on top of the dough, and in the end almost dropping the pie.

This year I am thankful to have such amazing friends and family who take care of me. From countless times my car hasn’t started to times I needed someone to carry me home. I truly enjoy cooking for everyone and I can’t wait for next Thanksgiving!

After many many days, a bird finally comes to my bird feeder! hooray!

Finally finished

Finally got around to putting together a background for our Twitter page, all of our current T-Shirt designs.

We just have to remember to update it now when ever we release a new T-Shirt. You can follow us on Twitter here; twitter.com/wormsigntshirts

Me, eleven or twelve with my 52 dollar Schwann that i got at Coral Sea Village when i was 10. ( the bike is red. )

This is later, at Guadalcanal village. This is around the time i was learning the radio stuff from Gorge Bowley, and tried to buy a wire recorder. ( They were probably being phased out. I finally got the first tape recorder at the Pleasant Hill house and got the second one- needed for editing- in Boston. )

From the grownups point of view, this apartment ( behind the camera ) in a building like the one in the upper left- was better than living in half of a quonset hut at Coral Sea.

But both places were good.: the old one had the ex-volcano to play on; this one had the grassy field and the basketball court, where i made a million shots.

This is still Mare Island, but we are just outside the main gate, near the causeway to Vallejo.

…

It looks like I’m showing off the bike.

I was going to school on the Navy bus, to Saint Vincent Ferrer’s Catholic school for a few years until the eighth grade.

Then we moved to Pleasant Hill, to 1985 Peggy Drive.

You can still look up that house on Google Earth. It’s pretty much the same, but it has a big tree on the lawn that wasn’t there. That tree would have saved me a lot of mowing, but the house was new when we moved in. The workers threw away the cardboard refrigerator boxes in the unused field nearby. I like to think that they did it for the kids. Boy, did we use them.! Most of the boxes were laid horizontally for our fort, but one was set up vertically for a telescope. We had the fort for awhile, until the other kids wrecked it.

I went to Concord High for the freshman year, while they were building Pleasant Hill High, where i went, for sophomore and junior year.

Then we moved to Boston ( again ) and Dad started working at EG&G on the testing of the Bomb.

I went to Dorchester High. I won the Boston Science Fair, and tied for first at the Massachusetts Science Fair. *

I was headed to BU, probably because of that, but i decided for Art, instead.

That was senior year of High School, before starting at the Museum School.

___

* The Science Fair project was a 26 minute, taped radio program called, “Electronics in Music”, about what people like Les Paul were up to, adding the new tech to popular music.

It explained the trick of adding a second recording head to a tape recorder to make a reverberating echo. It made the sound of a tree falling with the slowed down sound of blting celery.

Stuff like that. It won the science fair in a science town.

For some reason, that did not impress my Dad, as i expected it to. **

( … but, then, i just ended a sentence with a preposition. )

Don note-

I was at st. Vincent’s from the second half of the 3rd grade to the 8th grade. Third grade started in Federal Terrace, the public school in Vallejo, because St. Vincent’s didn’t have room till later in the year.

But that means that i was on Mare Island much longer than i thought.

Boston ( Dorchester High) was 1954. I don’t actively remember that date. The one i do remember is the next year, because i started at the Museum School in September of 1955.

( the other year that i actively remember is 1952. That is the year ( at Peggy Drive that the first tape recorder finally arrived from Radio Shack [ Wilcox-gay, with 7 inch reels ] ).

I was recording when Dad got home and said to Mom in the living room, “ I got my orders, and they’re good “, and told her that he was going to start work on the testing of the Bomb. Mom was very excited.

So, what about 1952 to 1954.? Did it take two years for Dad to get us to boston.? Puzzling. But 1952 is definite, because i mentioned that date on this first recording that included Dad’s announcement. And 1955 is definite. I don’t know how to figure that out.

** - more on my Dad. There may be a clue, here, because he actually talked to me about an impression he had of me… a surprise that made him look at me twice.:

I seemed to be wanted as a student at Boston University. Don’t know how i found that out. I don’t think i was looking at BU, myself. I figure it was winning the science fairs that made them look at me.

After that, it was between BU and the Museum School.

But Dad went with me to the interview, thinking that he was going to speak for me, but i handled the meeting.

He said, after that, that he didn’t know i could do that, and that gave me a lift.

As it turned out, i chose the Museum School, but I’m glad that meeting happened. It helped me with Dad.

Finally.

Finally got some time to work on it again, focusing on the water, turtles, and yellow fish/corals

Surftrip 2009 - Photo 8

View it large

Finally we arrived at the beach at our first stop on the westcoast of France. Still in "Saint Michel Chef Chef" (see link maps)

It was a nice walk in the morning to the beach, we wanted to check out the surf. Sadly there wasn't much to surf on and we decided to go find another spot that day.

Finally the preorder for my dream <3 I already sent my aplication for Crescent.

Oh how I've waited ever since they bublished her <3

She'll probably be my Masha ~

Before this, the phone I was using was from my graduation.After almost 6 years of usage, one day while coming back from office, the phone fell from the pocket,crashed on the road,and split in half.

So it was time to look for a new phone.

And finally set my eyes on this.

Pretty happy with it.

In the end, Michael Milner (Toronto consultant, left) did find a gold flake. Gérard Hérail of ORSTOM (right) and Ron DiLabio (colleague from the Geological Survey of Canada) witnessed the event.

Photo taken in June 1991 on Kodachrome film and recently scanned using a Nikon Supercoolscan 5000 film scanner.

I finished cleaning up and took the G5 inside around 11PM tonight. What a day.

finally printed my first photos in the darkroom. all the photos were taken with my konica big mini and self developed kodak tri-x 400 - apart from the left and middle photo on the top row. they were taken with a canon a1 and agfa apx 100.

Finally after 3 months, I manage to hide all cables from the upgrades, and the lights make a more calm and relaxing ambiance to listen music or working at night.

Awaiting for a bigger Gemini USB cable from iFi and some other stuff that will not be visible.

The solos are great, is this room there is no need for a sub. So my Monitor Audio sub will be here but disconnected.

iFi launched a new firmware 5.0 for their devices, with the option of no standby, for me was a golden decision from iFi, because I never hear with headphones.

Hope you like it.

Best Regards.
