This one was taken in late summer from the deck of a cruise ship about a half day from Juneau the capitol of Alaska. The sun was out when we made it to Glacier Bay National Park. The colors were pure and deep, I did not see whales from lots of otter floating on their backs. The mountain range was massive and wild. The glaciers are of course slowly melting away and you can see the retreating path. A worthwhile journey for people of all ages. Lets do the right things to keep these places wild and the planet a good place for grand children. Encourage your elected leaders to support clean energy sources and cut the carbon that is thinning out are one and only atmosphere. blessings.

Steffi was willing and able to help with todays POTD. Of course, one of her favorite treats helped seal the deal.
Of course, predictably, after yesterday's picture, a PocketWizard lighting solution would follow.
This image is inspired by Zack Arias amazing work.
Explored, highest position #12 for 4/15/09!!

Once gain I waited until the last day to come up with a shot idea. Grrrrrr.. But I did have fun making it. And my son is now used to seeing me with a knife. Ha!
Ok, so I got tagged. Dan Grenier and Keren8484 are the perpetrators! Pay a visit to their streams, some great stuff to be viewed. So, 10 things you probably don't know about me:
1. Despite living in Las Vegas, I am English. Born in Southampton, U.K.
2. I have spent 95% of the last 20 years working in the casino industry, starting as a dealer when I was 18.
3. Winters do not agree with me. Give me 100*F heat everyday, oh and a pool to dunk myself in.
4. I once owned a Bronica ETRS medium format camera. I regret not paying the extra for the Mamiya 645.
5. The aforementioned Dan Grenier was the first person to comment on one of my uploads. He's a kind fellow, always has encouraging words like many of my contacts.
6. My biggest passion in life, after my wife of course, is forward progress. I get bored easily which drives me to learn and research anything I involve myself in. To my wife's chagrin naturally :)
7. The last book I read was The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King: Inside the Richest Poker Game of All Time. I am a winning poker player and really should play more, it would be a great way to fund lens purchases :) Alas, so little time and so much to do!
8. My boyhood idol was Kevin Keegan. He captained England and played for my hometown team Southampton F.C. for two seasons in the beginning of the 80's. This was the time my brother started taking me to games, great memories. He scored a lot of goals but I was at this game when he scored the best ever disallowed goal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_0GhYfWwPE Ironic, with today's rules it would have stood.
9. Kayodeok is hands down my favorite photographer I have seen so far on Flickr. The first reason is technically and artistically, I think some of his work is breathtakingly good and I urge everyone to spend at least a half an hour checking out is stream. And secondly, he photographs London in a way I have never seen before. I don't get home sick often, but seeing his work makes me so!
10. My dream as a child was to be an RAF fighter pilot! Think I took a wrong turn somewhere ;) I don't really believe in regrets, life is too short.
Hope this entertained someone, Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
This was taken inside a shopping centre in Nanning, China. The shadows come from an Atrium above. It may seem strange that someone would use an umbrella inside, but many Chinese women don't want to get a tan (pale skin is considered to be more beautiful). An umbrella can be used to protect against the sunlight when inside or even on a bus.
and a little blue...
thought I would try something a little different with the brush embroidery. I wanted them to look like blooming roses. I think it worked pretty well :)
Christie, Rachel, Eve, Sassy, Raquelle, Bleu, Lea and Barbie
[the "So Chic" - salon & spa is officially open for business...]
Eve --- The place looks really good.
Sassy --- Thank you. That means a lot coming from you.
Eve --- Let's not get all melodramatic here.
[Sassy smiles at her]
Eve --- Though, now that you've officially poached my glam squad... F2K is in need of a new stylist team and... I'd like to offer So Chic the contract. [she hands Sassy a clipboard with a contract attached]
Sassy --- Are you serious? [she says in disbelief]
Eve --- I don't joke.... So...
Sassy --- Yes! [she says filled with glee] Of course! Yes! Thank you!... You know, I think deep down inside you're a real softie.
Eve --- Absolutely not.

[Bleu finishes with Raquelle's hair then hands her a mirror]
Bleu --- What... is your favorite color of the rainbow?
Raquelle --- Bleu! Ahh [she gasps] I love it! You're a hair genius!
Bleu --- Oooh... Girl...
Raquelle --- What?
[he leans into Raquelle and says...]
Bleu --- B**ch stole your look.. like literally!
[she spots Rachel in the salon]
Raquelle --- YOU!
Rachel --- Me! [she says looking up from a magazine]
Christie --- Oh no... [she sighs] Here we go.
[just then Eve interjects...]
Eve --- Ladies...

Lea --- So what color do you want your nails?
[Barbie, unable to hear that well under the hair dryer replies loudly...]
Barbie --- WHAT?
Lea --- Your nails? [she lifts up Barbie's hand] What color?
Barbie --- PINK!

I'm doing a sort of mini-theme week centered around Earth Day which is on thursday. Yesterday's photo was all about getting out and enjoying Mother Nature. Today it's about switching over to eco-friendly options, trade in those ineffiecient bulbs for new long lasting bulbs that save energy!
Today my school had a bike/walk to work/school day and it was awesome to see so many bikes! There were so many that the bikes racks had filled up by the time I got there and we had to store bikes in offices and storage rooms just to keep them out of the main areas.
Now it's off to enjoy a BBQ with my Tuesday after-school group!
TOTW: Get Your Groove On
Josh has to goto the hospital to get a full body x-ray and the lab exploded, leaving him inside out forever!
Sticker illustration!
It's a cowboy.
The hat is this piece flipped inside out BEN 10 Humungousaur shoulder piece.
The dark tan CCBS shells are from a Chima Figure.
The hat idea was originally Grayson.
This only took me 1 year, 7 months and 14 days to finish (www.flickr.com/photos/sparkytron/9175091078)
Back from a one week trip in North Korea, where i was during the 60th anniversary of the country. Many things to tell one more time, more to come...

this is my set-up for processing black and white negatives at home. usually i would just scan the negatives on a cheapo flatbed scanner as my "proof" prints. the processing part is quick and cheap, and you don't have to worry about the lab scratching up your film. here're the steps:
1. fill the water bottle (a) with cold tap water and stick the thermometer (b) in it. try to get it to 68F. you may have to add hot water or ice cube depending on the weather.
2. load the negative onto the reel/tank (c) inside the changing bag (d). if you're using 35mm film you'll need a bottle opener to open the cannister inside the bag (or in complete darkness). this is often the trickiest part. you can practice with a spare roll of negatives. some people prefer the plastic type which may be easier to roll. but i find the metal ones pretty easy to work with and are durable.
3. used the syringe measurer (e) to mix the right mount of developer (f) in the graduated plastic beaker cup (g). I use kodak's hc-110 developer and use it "one shot" only -- i mix up just enough for each tank and use it only once. a bottle of this can probably process about 18 rolls of 120 or 30 rolls of 35mm film.
4. agitate the tank periodically, for a period of time based on the type of film you're using and the temperature of the water. i use a cheapo sports stopwatch (h) to time this. you don't have to stop and restart it, but just let it run for the total amount of time you need to develope, and just agitate it at the 30 second or 1 minute marks.
5. dump out the developer and fill with clean tap water that's near the same temperature as what you used to develope. agitate the tank with the clean water for about 30 seconds. repeat again with new water. the film is done developing at this point.
6. meaure out enough of the pre-mixed fixer (i) in the graduated beaker cup (g). you can probably pour it directly into the tank but it's safer this way. pour the measured amount of fixer from the beaker into the tank. agitate the fixer periodically for an amount of time specified for your film (anywhere from 2 minutes to 6 minutes).
7. pour the fixer from the tank (c) back into the gallon jar (i). the fixer can be reused. i think a gallon can fix maybe 100 rolls of film. but basically you watch to see if the amount of time to "clear" the film has increased by a certain amount, say 30% or 50% from when it was new. most cities have places to take used fixer to. i usually take it to our local public darkroom. it's a bad idea to dump it in the sink because it contains the silver from the fixed negatives.
8. open the tank and check out the film! look to make sure the fixer has made the unexposed portion of the film (sprockets for example) clear. if it looks cloudy you can fix the film some more. this can be done with the light on.
9. rince the film under the faucet, with the reel inside the tank for about a minute. again try to make the water to be near room temperature. you don't want very hot or very cold water.
After step 9 your film is processed. The rest of the steps are all about washing any excess fixer off of the film, so it won't fade out when you donate your negatives to the smithsonian... :-) if you don't care how long the negative would last you can just hang it up to dry after this step.
10) mix up some perma wash (j) in the graduated beaker, and pour into the tank. agitate for about a minute and dump out the liquid. by the way, you should rinse the plastic beaker thoroughly between uses. i just have one but some people use one for each type of chemical. i haven't found that i need more than one though.
11. open the tank and rinse it under the faucet as in step 9, for a minute or so.
12. pour all the water out of the tank, and fill it with distilled water (not shown). put 2 to 4 drops of kodak photo-flo (k) in the tank and swish the water around a bit to make sure it's mixed in. i rotate the reel i
A simple shot taken inside an out building on a ranch I visited near St Peter's Mission. Have always been undecided about it...maybe some comments will help! Thank you for the views and comments. Have a great Friday my friends!

Dear friends,
this pic and the one here under were taken inside the HQ of the communist party in Paris (architect : Oscar Niemeyer).
This was a "Mac Gyver like" shooting, with the camera on the floor, without possibility to see through the viewfinder (lying of the floor was not the solution in public!LOL). For having the angle I wanted, I made a T with two boxes of cigarettes betwen the lens and the floor... :-))
Anyway, the place and decoration are impressive and I really enjoyed to visit it.
Have a great day and week :-)
(XXXL size better for both)
For June I want to work on food photography so get ready. I had some leftover roasted vegetables and heated them up in some vegetable broth then cracked some eggs and let them poach in the broth. Added a little fresh basil, salt and pepper and ta-da, breakfast is served.
I am totally open to suggestions for any ways to improve my food shots.
Up high, in one of the tallest towers of all the land, in the highest castle by the sea, sits a perfect bedroom, and it shines like the inside of a floating jewel box.
This amazing place is in one of the two peak towers atop Hearst Castle. Getting up into these rooms via tiny, twisting stairways is not the easiest thing in the world. The paths in and out of these bedrooms are almost so serpentine that they seem secret. When I was inside, I felt like I was one of the few people in the world to ever experience it.

A shop around 2am in the morning - I think the guy on the left was security. The guy on the right worked there, letting customers in with keys into a locked shop OR serving them through a hatch

Mi’kmaq Hieroglyph prayer book owned by Joseph Sylvester ca. 1820.
Abbé Pierre Antoine Simon Maillard (c. 1710 – 12 August 1762) was a French-born Roman Catholic priest. He is noted for his contributions to the creation of a written language for the Mi'kmaq indigenous people of Île Royale, Cape Breton Island, Canada. He is also credited with helping negotiate a peace treaty between the British and Mi'kmaq people, which resulted in the Burying the Hatchet Ceremony (Nova Scotia).
Inside a massive, closed warehouse. One could spend days wandering this cavernous space. After closing, this building was intentionally left to rot with the plans of demolition. Workers are slowly removing valuable equipment but there is a long journey ahead with the environmental cleanup of the entire property.
I'm thinking about starting a 365 days project in 2011. What do you think? :)
ps: more inside!

Just found this picture in my phone from a while back. I used the torso for Andrea.
Nothing too special, but I really like it, and I don't see too many on here. Boobs are sculpted, rest is paint. Had to file the inside of the hairpiece so it would fit.
So, there's someone who always tells me that he can read me like an open book! I was inspired by it :)
Q is for Qjdfjsdbfgjksbgsjkh.
