Again this year, the Photography Show, which is normally held at the National Exhibition Centre at this time, is being converted into an online event. Here is a photo from the annual pilgrimage to the NEC two years ago. This is a degree of flexibility to be envied!

Want to make your ground flexible and have some subtle angles in your terrain? With this technique, inspired by Ralf Langer, you can :)
It's really quite flexible and sturdy enough to be bent without anything falling out. Convex bending is pretty much unlimited, but at a certain angle the gaps between studs will be so big it just doesn't look good anymore. Concave bending is much more limited as it presses the bricks closer together, and with too much force things will start to pop. Still, there is some room for concave bending, and it's possible to accomplish more, if some plates are removed and replaced with other odd sized parts, like plate with door rail or such.
Compared to using nets for bent surfaces, this technique is stiffer and less flimsy. This generally means it's sturdier, but it also doesn't follow an underlying topology as closely as a net construct would.
This can also quite easily be fixed into a certain shape, so that it holds the desired shape without support from below.
More testing to follow... and again, this is based on the idea that Ralf Langer presented, to use flexible leaf elements to achieve shapeable terrain :)

Personal work with model Caroline Anne - yogi and gymnast. Shot upstairs at the Peacock Gym, East London.
Setup: Key light is Profoto D1 through a beauty dish, with a grid, to cmaera left. The backlight is another D1 through a 60cm square softbox (a zoom reflector in a couple of shots), mounted at the very back of the room, and aimed down at the floor. The clip lights are a B1 each side of Caroline, one with a zoom reflector (back left) and the other with a strip softbox (back right).
Photoshop: Bit of cleanup to remove things from the walls/background etc, played with lookup tables, and hue/sat colorise adjustment layers, plus a bit of desaturation. Burned around the edges to focus attention on Caroline. Some work on skin with curves to add a bit of sculpting.
Not very good setup shot here.

Who were the Druids? Popular folklore tells us they were ancient Celtic wise men. They wore long robes and had long, flowing beards. Merlin, the famous magician of King Arthur's court, was reputedly a Druid. They are credited with having built Stonehenge and other megalithic monuments throughout Great Britain and Europe.
Other sources tell us Druids were men and women who were really into trees. Their ceremonies were conducted in the open air, often in oak groves. The word Druid is apparently derived from the ancient Celtic words for oak and truth--dru and druidh. Other trees were also very important to them, including yew, hazel, walnut, willow, rowan, ash and birch. Tree symbolism was used in their religious and philosophical teachings, and in their calendar and system of writing, called Ogham.
Druids also believed that trees are like a humans. They deliver a babies, they grow, sometimes they get an illness, they fight, and they die...

Pulicat is located on the Coromandel Coast, about 60Km north of Chennai. As a prominent Dutch settlement in the seventeenth century, this small town boats of a vibrant and diverse cultural tradition. However, the history of this region is not limited to the Dutch colonialism alone; the Arabs, the Portuguese and the British established their stronghold in Pulicat at different times.
Apart from the historical and cultural importance, this tiny seashore town has an amazing scenic beauty. Pulicat offers an invigorating and thrilling experience of expedition. Among travelers, Pulicat is best known for two things: Pulicat Lake and Pulicat Bird Sanctuary. The lake in Pulicat is regarded as the second largest brackish water body in India and attracts thousands of tourists every year.
Sirya is a very young talented artist with Vietnamese origins. She was born in Turin on January 23rd 2002, she has been practising artistic gymnastics the age of four. She has already achieved very good results both in Italy and internationally, also in circus arts and particularly in aerial acrobatics.
Sirya, together with her family, is a street artist: she dances, recites and amuses passers-by with her amazing acrobatics. Sirya became aware very quickly that being an artist is really what she wants to be in her life. What she desires most is “delivering” her art in the streets, theatres, circuses of the whole world, with the aim of making people smile. When she was nine, she took part in the second edition of the Italian television program “Italia’s Got Talent”. After having gone through all the preliminary steps she eventually got to the final. Sirya, thanks to this television program lept to fame for some time and this gave her the possibility to meet important people in this field.
In December 2002, Sirya was admitted to “L’Accademia di Arte Circense” in Verona, where she attended with very good results. Despite her young age she decided to take on a big challenge, and moved to a new and far away town, miles away from her family, though she still managed to often meet her sister Nicole and her mother Marja for street art events.
Sirya’s specialised in different fields: acrobatics, handstand, aerial, dance and contortion. But she has also took part in the 2013 “European Juggling Convention” in Toulose, as a juggling performer.
On the street, unfortunately, “ tools” are very rarely available when you need them, therefore with a wheel on the ground and a crowd in a circle, the show can begin...
Sirya is young but a very determined artist, very mature for her age, but above all, very sentitive towards those who are less lucky then herself. In fact, The “Tip hat” money, apart from little expenses, goes entirely to local charities in Vietnam, where Sirya lived and performed for a year and had the opportunity to witness poverty and misery and to support the project
"Il Sogno di Marja".
Sirya is ambitious: her dream is to develop her skills as an artist and eventually join a big companies like the “Cirque du Soleil”. This will also hopefully enable her to help, in a more substantial way, her Vietnamese friends.
Being an artist means being part of a magical world, a world that you can create and edit according to your likings. It allows you to paint your days with the colours of your mood, to dance and sing at work, to play the music you like and to be yourself. It sounds so incredible, doesn’t it? Yes, it is. And every artist has their own story, here is mine... TBC

COVID cancellations
It’s an uncertain world. Whenever I commit to plans, there’s a part of me that expects it to be canceled due to COVID.
The past two years have made me even more comfortable with flexible plans. I’ve also grown to appreciate the slower pace. Sometimes it takes a pandemic to appreciate a walk in the winter sunshine and the simple joy of watching a stick wash through a flooded culvert.

The empty 46,4000 sq. ft. former Superfresh in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia is being transformed into a Target Flexible format store. The store is one of a wave of Target Flex stores hitting urban areas in the US over the next few years.
Since space and zoning restrictions prevent big-box retailers like Target from building cookie-cutter stores from scratch in these densely populated older areas, Target is reusing existing buildings, even leaving the distinct Superfresh portico on the building.
Philadelphia has two new Target Flex stores downtown and New York has 2 as well (including a Kosher Target Flex in Queens). Additional flex stores are slated in both cities over the next few years. At the same time, very few full-sized Target stores and no new supercenters are planned. Many retail experts have spoken of the end of the supercenter age.

so i went to the doctor today for my back. he said he thinks it's an injury in my rotater cuff. my right shoulder/neck/back area has been in an immense amount of pain lately, and it's only gotten worse. i have to stop skating and dancing for a little while. i'm not sure how long though--the orthopedist will tell me that information tomorrow.
but yeah, i took this picture because i wanted to let you guys know that my 365th picture is probably not going to be what i originally planned. =\ it was going to involve a really flexible, dancy pose....but not anymore... i'm gonna have to try to make it still look cool.
anyways. this pose hurt so much. -_____- i don't know why i did it.
but yeah i just wanted to show off my back and talk about the fact that i KILLED it. =p
