If you're asking yourself "what the heck is this?" - good. I'm asking myself the same thing.
First attempt at Pyro developing, using APX (probably not the best choice), shot pretty freely at nothing in particular, and since no times were easily available.. well 20 minutes sounded good for a test roll.
The negatives look like faded green rust pulled out of a local sewer and the scanner treats them accordingly: it absolutely hates them. A lot of sliders were thrown around to make it "normal." I also notice the APX is trying to curl itself into non-existence and I don't particularly blame it. But hey, I love the natural toning.
Ahh, feels like old times, but there's no learning in success. Back to the drawing board.

One of the ugliest vehicle's ever. I didn't see the point nor purpose of this vehicle, till I saw it working! Smart stuff, multifunctional and never designed to look good, just to be functional, and thats what I like! Hope you like my moc to.
A high shutter speed was used in this image to freeze movement in both the models clothes, and the wind turbines in the background. A white reflector was used to bounce light back onto the subject. Colours and contrast where adjusted in post production using Photoshop CS5's Raw, curves and levels tools.
It has been snowing lately and the snow is being removed with the help of these machines. Even though it takes place in the middle of the day, the lights need to be on during work
A notable school for me: The first one in which I started and ended the school year in the same class. Burbank, 1954,
3rd grade.
yep. still using up yarn on random projects. and using up cardboard. and rocks and tons of other odds and ends.
Sunset at -4F on The Grade. Looking away from the sunset at the Belt of Venus and the moon. I just finished shooting a dull and cold sunset from the middle of Two Island Lake and when I got back to the car I noticed that the sky behind was turning a wonderful pink and purple. I slapped a ND grad onto my 12-24 and took this photo looking down The Grade towards Ball Club Road. Two Island lake is on the picture's right. The Grade was a railroad grade used for logging. It's now a road that runs along the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

I don't know anything about these Champion graders, does anyone else?
A photograph taken by Joe Sullivan, now in my collection.
There were at least 20 conversations about what she was going to wear. "I'm going to go insane trying to decide," she said.
At the end of the day, I asked what was the best part of the day. "The whole day," she replied.
Supper was full of talk and laughter with brownies on the side. So much went right on this very busy day.
I will sleep well tonight. And so will she.
Despite what you might think, Illinois is not flat, but in general that does not slow things down! Westbound intermodal
Nope, it's not an optical illusion. This is the top of the steepest mainline railroad grade in the United States. Although NS has taken it out of service, it has not been pulled up. The rails are rusty, but are eagerly awaiting new freight.
1. I was born 67 years ago. I was the youngest of 10 children, born at home. I lived in the country until I was around 9. In grade school, I worked at my dads creamery after school. In high school, I worked as a waitress after school, and week-ends. I got married at the age of 19. I had three children, and they are all in there 40's at this time. I have been divorced. I have been married to my last husband for 21 years. He has 2 children in their 20's. Together, we have 9 grandchildren.
2. When I was in grade school, Hopalong Cassidy came through our little town, on a train. Many were waiting for him to get off. This was a big event for us. Movie stars, wow. He kissed me on the cheek, and I ran to the creamery to tell my family. I really felt special. He must have seen the joy on my face, and couldn't resist.
3. The first two pictures below, was a hard time in my life. I got ring worms from a dog. I had to get all my hair cut off so they could give radiation treatments. My hair did not grow back for around a year. My mom got worried, but didn't tell me until they started to grow. I wore a scarf to school to cover my head. When they grew out, they were so curly, as you can see.
4. In my first years of marriage, to my children's dad, I became addicted to diet pills and alcohol. I know that I use to love to party in my teen-age years. Around the age of 32, I went to treatment for drinking and drugs. I was there for 31 days. It has been 35 years since my last drink. Thank God. I went to AA for 10 years until I got saved. I then no longer needed AA.
5. Twenty Five years ago, I truly asked Jesus into my heart. Shortley after, I got filled with The Holy Spirit. I am Penticostal. Having The Lord in my life is helping me to become an overcomer, in all areas of my life. I am far from perfect, but I am on my way.
6. I smoked one to three packs of cigerettes for around 30 some years. I had some growths in my throat that hurt clear to the back of my neck. One night, when I went to church, an evangelist prayed over me and said that I need to get rid of this, that is causing it. He didn't want to embarrass me about smoking in front of everyone. My healing began a week later, when I threw my cigerettes in the middle of a prayer meeting. It took around 3 years for my healing. It was a gradual healing as I walked in faith believing. I figured if The Lord told this evangelist, I better quit if I wanted to live.
7. In my 30's. I was involved with a movie. Up the Academy. They needed a crowd in the cheering section. I got to jump up and down, cheering. It was very interesting to watch them make a movie. I even got paid. Below is a picture of me with Tom Postum. I am not sure I spelled that right. I also got to have pictures taken with around 4 or 5 more actors. I decided to just put one picture in. Below is a picture also of Brenda Lee, when she came to Salina. She said that I could take it. If the pictures do not show up below, I wasn't suppose to put that many in. I will know when I am done.
8. My interests now is God, Family, Angels, and Job
9. My addictions are, starbucks coffee, flicker, sweets, flicker, snacks, flicker. God bless you all.
Grade I listed historic cathedral.
"The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, commonly known as York Minster, is the cathedral of York, England, and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the third-highest office of the Church of England (after the monarch as Supreme Governor and the Archbishop of Canterbury), and is the mother church for the Diocese of York and the Province of York. It is run by a dean and chapter, under the Dean of York. The title "minster" is attributed to churches established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches, and serves now as an honorific title. Services in the minster are sometimes regarded as on the High Church or Anglo-Catholic end of the Anglican continuum.
The minster, devoted to Saint Peter, has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic quire and east end and Early English North and South transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the north transept is the Five Sisters Window, each lancet being over 53 feet (16.3 m) high. The south transept contains a rose window, while the West Window contains a heart-shaped design colloquially known as The Heart of Yorkshire.
A bishop of York was summoned to the Council of Arles in 314 indicating the presence of a Christian community in York at this time; however, archaeological evidence of Christianity in Roman York is limited. The first recorded church on the site was a wooden structure built hurriedly in 627 to provide a place to baptise Edwin, King of Northumbria. Moves toward a more substantial building began in the decade of the 630s. A stone structure was completed in 637 by Oswald and was dedicated to Saint Peter. The church soon fell into disrepair and was dilapidated by 670 when Saint Wilfrid ascended to the See of York. He repaired and renewed the structure. The attached school and library were established and by the 8th century were some of the most substantial in Northern Europe.
In 741, the church was destroyed in a fire. It was rebuilt as a more impressive structure containing thirty altars. The church and the entire area then passed through the hands of numerous invaders, and its history is obscure until the 10th century. There were a series of Benedictine archbishops, including Saint Oswald of Worcester, Wulfstan and Ealdred, who travelled to Westminster to crown William in 1066. Ealdred died in 1069 and was buried in the church.
The church was damaged in 1069 during William the Conqueror's harrying of the North, but the first Norman archbishop, Thomas of Bayeux, arriving in 1070, organised repairs. The Danes destroyed the church in 1075, but it was again rebuilt from 1080. Built in the Norman style, it was 111 m (364.173 ft) long and rendered in white and red lines. The new structure was damaged by fire in 1137 but was soon repaired. The choir and crypt were remodelled in 1154, and a new chapel was built, all in the Norman style.
The Gothic style in cathedrals had arrived in the mid 12th century. Walter de Gray was made archbishop in 1215 and ordered the construction of a Gothic structure to compare to Canterbury; building began in 1220. The north and south transepts were the first new structures; completed in the 1250s, both were built in the Early English Gothic style but had markedly different wall elevations. A substantial central tower was also completed, with a wooden spire. Building continued into the 15th century.
The Chapter House was begun in the 1260s and was completed before 1296. The wide nave was constructed from the 1280s on the Norman foundations. The outer roof was completed in the 1330s, but the vaulting was not finished until 1360. Construction then moved on to the eastern arm and chapels, with the last Norman structure, the choir, being demolished in the 1390s. Work here finished around 1405. In 1407 the central tower collapsed; the piers were then reinforced, and a new tower was built from 1420. The western towers were added between 1433 and 1472. The cathedral was declared complete and consecrated in 1472.
The English Reformation led to the looting of much of the cathedral's treasures and the loss of much of the church lands. Under Elizabeth I there was a concerted effort to remove all traces of Roman Catholicism from the cathedral; there was much destruction of tombs, windows and altars. In the English Civil War the city was besieged and fell to the forces of Cromwell in 1644, but Thomas Fairfax prevented any further damage to the cathedral.
Following the easing of religious tensions there was some work to restore the cathedral. From 1730 to 1736 the whole floor of the minster was relaid in patterned marble and from 1802 there was a major restoration. However, on 2 February 1829, an arson attack by Jonathan Martin inflicted heavy damage on the east arm. An accidental fire in 1840 left the nave, south west tower and south aisle roofless and blackened shells. The cathedral slumped deeply into debt and in the 1850s services were suspended. From 1858 Augustus Duncombe worked successfully to revive the cathedral. In 1866, there were six residentiary canonries: of which one was the Chancellor's, one the Sub-Dean's, and another annexed to the Archdeaconry of York.
During the 20th century there was more concerted preservation work, especially following a 1967 survey that revealed the building, in particular the central tower, was close to collapse. £2,000,000 was raised and spent by 1972 to reinforce and strengthen the building foundations and roof. During the excavations that were carried out, remains of the north corner of the Roman Principia (headquarters of the Roman fort, Eboracum) were found under the south transept. This area, as well as remains of the Norman cathedral, re-opened to the public in spring 2013 as part of the new exhibition exploring the history of the building of York Minster.
York is a cathedral city and unitary authority area in North Yorkshire, England. The population of the council area which includes nearby villages was 208,200 as of 2017 and the population of the urban area was 153,717 at the 2011 census. Located at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss, it is the county town of the historic county of Yorkshire. The city is known for its famous historical landmarks such as York Minster and the city walls, as well as a variety of cultural and sporting activities, which makes it a popular tourist destination in England. The local authority is the City of York Council, a single tier governing body responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout the city. The City of York local government district includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. It is about 25 miles north-east of Leeds and 34 miles north-west of Kingston upon Hull. York is the largest settlement in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria and Jórvík. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained. In the 19th century, York became a major hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre, a status it maintained well into the 20th century. During the Second World War, York was bombed as part of the Baedeker Blitz. Although less affected by bombing than other northern cities, several historic buildings were gutted and restoration efforts continued into the 1960s.
The economy of York is dominated by services. The University of York and National Health Service are major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy. In 2016, York became sister cities with the Chinese city of Nanjing, as per an agreement signed by the Lord Mayor of York, focusing on building links in tourism, education, science, technology and culture. Today, the city is a popular tourist attraction, especially for international visitors from America, Germany, France and China. In 2017, York became UK's first human rights city, which formalised the city's aim to use human rights in decision making." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

From back in the days when the agency operating Los Angeles city buses was called the RTD, for "Rapid Transit District." I think this was the 94 bus, heading north on Victory Place in Burbank, California, just as Amtrak train 11, the westbound Coast Starlight, passed by overhead.
