Today was an unfortunate day of stranger hunting. I headed into the city around midday to catch up with a friend. On the train in I stood, with my bike, next to a European backpacker who I'd have liked to ask for a photo. But I try not to pressure people into it and if she'd said no we would've had to stand there awkwardly for who knows how many stops. So I let it pass. In the city I did photograph a few people but they were hard to find and unfortunately not worth posting.

 

After catching up with my friend I headed home on my bike, deciding to skip the train and ride the whole way. I came to a classy hotel called 'Royce' that I thought might make a cool background for some photos of a friend of mine of the same name. So I took some test shots and then waited around hoping to find a stranger. There was a cabby near me that would've made for an awesome shot but he was on the phone and I didn't want to interrupt. Then Kiwi walked up, McDonalds in hand. After shooting him I decided to try and find the source of his desserts.

 

The McDonalds was just around the corner and as I went in I spotted a girl out the front who reminded me of the backpacker earlier in the day. She looked up but didn't show any sign of recognition so I put it out of my mind and concentrated on the menu. From inside I could see here where I ate and decided that she was worth shooting, even if she wasn't the girl from earlier. Once I finished I got out my camera and headed outside to where she sat at her laptop, making use of the free wifi.

 

When I asked for her photo she wanted to know what it was for. I took a seat across the table from her and explained I was trying to get 100 photos of 100 different strangers in 100 days. She gave her permission and I started taking the shots, still seated. When I checked the back of my display after the first shot I was pretty happy with the dark background and bokeh. The well lit restaurant window gave some wonderfully soft light from behind where I sat. As I shot we talked a little. She told me she arrived in Melbourne today and that she's originally from Hamburg, Germany. When I was done I thanked her and headed off to get my bike and head home.

 

Walking past her with my bike my curiosity got the better of me and I asked down to her "Could I have caught a train with you earlier today?"

"Maybe..." she replied "Ooh! Yes! I remember that bike! My friend is looking for a helmet. But all the ones she can find make her look stupid."

"Haha. Yeah I think it's always the case. Mine makes me look stupid too."

"Well it looks good on the bike." She said, referring to my helmet, still clipped to the frame.

 

We went on to speak a bit about her travells. I suggested some places in Melbourne that she should visit and she told me that she'd come here from Perth, which she loved. I offered to give her my flickr URL so that she could see how the photo turns out, thinking that she'd type it into her laptop that was open in front of her. Instead she rummaged through her bag and pulled out a notepad and pen to write it down. When I chuckled, at how much more organised she was than me, she asked "What so funny?". I shook my head and wrote down the address.

 

This shot was taken 7 hours and several kilometers from where I originally spotted her. At a place neither of us had ever been before.

 

This is the fifty fifth portrait of my attempt at the 100 strangers project.

The building that now houses Kempinski Hotel Cathedral Square was built in 1900 by the famous architect Michail Prozorov.

 

Under the roof of this multifunctional building, the Treasure House of Vilnius province and the Czarist government’s state treasury were established. Later, the building was used as the premises of the New York hotel. In 1948, the building became the home of the central telegraph office. Then, in 2006, renovation of the building began with an aim to preserve and revive the building’s historical roots. After the renovation, in 2012, Kempinski Hotel Cathedral Square was opened.

========================================================

For more than a century, a building in the heart of old town in Vilnius where the Kempinski Hotel Cathedral Square is located has been one of the symbols reflecting historical transitions in Lithuania and Vilnius city.

 

Over time, due to changes of the historical circumstances and epochs a building has changed its face and purpose, however, after a while it has relived as a centre of Vilnius’ society, and guests.

 

According to legends, at the place where Kempinski hotel Cathedral Square is currently situated, once a valley has been established by the Grand Duke Šventaragis.

 

The dukes were cremated there according to the pagan rituals and a perpetual fire was burnt in the honor of God Perkūnas.

 

In the forest at the same place, Grand Duke Gediminas had a dream where the iron wolf was howling, and that prophetic dream gave the idea to set up the town.

 

Eventually, after adoption of Christianity, pagan altar was replaced to altar of the Catholic Cathedral, and the valley forests were cut down.

 

For centuries, the land where the hotel is located had been the ownership of different inhabitants.

 

It was owned by Cathedral chapter, later on by the monks of Fraternity of St. John (bonifrati), St. Mary Magdalen Parish that was in close vicinity and different

nobles, and in the middle of 19th century the land was acquired by Oton Bogdanovich. He was a prominent nobleman and the owner of many famous buildings in Vilnius.

 

Implementing his initiative, the foundation for this building was laid. Because of the fast growth and development, governmental and institutional buildings emerged one after the other around the Cathedral Square.

 

It should have been clear to Bogdanovich that this territory [would become] the center of the city, and the building would be a perfect investment.

 

So the construction of the building was urgent, and the projects of the building were made by the famous architect Michail Prozorov.

 

He was an innovative architect who used the metal and concrete structures that were a novelty at that time so he became the author of a few magnificent buildings in Vilnius.

 

First of all, in 1893, some communal buildings were built, and then they were reconstructed, in addition, some wings built.

 

Later on, the construction of this building was overtaken by Bogdanovich’s son Mechislaw Bogdanovich.

 

In 1899, he asked for permission of Vilnius municipal governors in order to build a four floor house, and the construction was supervised by the same architect M. Prozorov.

 

In 1900, the construction was nearly finished so the new life and its history started with the new century.

 

The monumental four floor building with its facade facing the Cathedral Square, immense volume and

architectural forms was noticeable among the buildings of that time.

 

This building became well known from the very beginning as Treasure House of Vilnius province, when the czar government hired it for state treasury.

 

Some time later, the other housing was uses as the premises of “New York” hotel with furnished rooms for couriers.

 

The country was devastated because of wars. After the World War I, Vilnius became a Part of Poland, and the purpose of building was changed.

 

There were no institutions in it, and it was used for cultural events. From 1921 to 1927 it was a scene for active and versatile life. In the big hall, at that time used for entertainments, music was played, theatre groups arranged their performances, and concerts took place.

 

Such a vivid place attracted numerous visitors to the buffet to discuss the news, and to the billiard hall.

 

Until 1940, it was hired by staff of a few newspapers, Gabetner Wolff’s bookstore, “Pac” chocolate manufacture and store, “Prospiešnia” publishing house, commerce courses,“Znicz” publishing house that the biggest in Vilnius at that time, and a pawnshop that used to take in different stuff including gold money and fur.

 

A Jewish gymnasium, font foundry, bindery and the “Hermitage” hotel worked there.

 

At the time of World War II, Lithuanian state was occupied by the Soviet Union. The building had to survive in the new circumstances. Activities of organizations were interrupted, newspapers closed, publishing houses destroyed, and the people who lived had to leave.

 

From 1940, the building became a national property, and from 1942 it was managed by the governors.

 

[The] old magnificent building in front of the Cathedral as in the post-war years it became restructured in order to use for central Vilnius city telegraph.

 

During the World War II and German occupation, the telegraph network was nearly destroyed in the country.

 

When in 1948 the telegraph was established anew, it started from a few pieces of equipment in the same building and had to be developed.

 

In a few decades, there became more of equipment as the new technologies were created. The number of inventive specialists also grew, and they attempted to restructure and renovate communication system in Vilnius and Lithuania’s territory.

 

Local engineers and technicians implemented new equipment, and the telegraph employees got numerous awards as a team.

 

The building was open for all who wanted to send some message to family or friends to any destination point in the Soviet Union comprising

Moscow, Riga or Kiev.

 

From 1990 Lithuania regained its independence, and the building was renovated for a new life as well, even if had remained as telegraph location for some time.

 

From 5 September, 2012 the new Kempinski Hotel Cathedral Square which is a part of the oldest luxury hotels network in Europe managed by Kempinski Hotels opens the door. The building having rich past and history gains new future perspectives.

I was reading a book, put it down, and then saw how it distorted the reflections from a nearby railing. Out came the camera!

I think this is about when they spotted me clicking away on the other side of the sliding glass door....

 

Skiing again tomorrow - so I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow evening!!

Nikon the cat gets his nap interrupted by the obnoxious photographer

I was slightly more decisive today - I spotted Daniel's bright red top hat a bit ahead of me and was striding out to catch him when he met up with a girl. I'm not particularly bold at interrupting groups at the best of times let alone when they've just met up but as I happened to be at my favourite stomping ground anyway I loitered for a bit (which is pretty much what I would have done anyway). A few moments later Daniel parted company with his friend and made his escape ...

 

... but I spotted him (it's difficult to miss such a bright hat)! He was on his own again so I gave chase and with very little hesitation approached him and launched into my normal spiel.

 

As I have mentioned on so many occasions I was part way through my explanation when I was treated to "that" smile - you know the one ... the smile that is always followed by a "yes".

 

As I was digging out my camera and getting set I asked him if that was a video camera in the bag slung over his shoulder - I was just looking for a little common ground or something to chat about but I was informed that although it was a video camera bag it was full of magic tricks ... result ;). And even better he then proceeded to extract a pipe and shove it theatrically in his mouth to adopt his pose - now it was my turn to smile ;). This is pretty much my perfect kind of stranger ... bold style, confident, a bit quirky and likely to have an interesting story to tell.

 

As well as being a magician, Daniel also performs as a balloon artist, juggler, unicyclist and mentalist. He even gave me some tips so perhaps my juggling may progress beyond 3 balls but as that's been my limit for 20+ years I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

And so to the maddest thing he has ever done. Ahem! Daniel seemed to debate whether to share this publicly but on consideration he agreed ...

 

Once whilst performing at Gay Pride in Newcastle he was heckled rather crudely ...

 

Get your **** out!

 

... so he did!

 

I love this project - it throws up so many unexpected treats and as I approached a gentleman in a stylish red hat I had no idea what was coming my way.

 

Thanks for your time today Daniel, it was a pleasure to meet you and I hope that you like the photo.

Don't interrupt the sorrow

Darn right

In flames our prophet witches

Be polite

A room full of glasses

He says "Your notches, liberation doll"

And he chains me with that serpent

To that Ethiopian wall

 

Anima rising

Queen of Queens

Wash my guilt of Eden

Wash and balance me

Anima rising

Uprising in me tonight

She's a vengeful little goddess

With an ancient crown to fight

There has been some sort of unusual system that moved in yesterday, interrupting the more typical marine layer we get in the Oxnard Plain this time of years. It left some actual clouds which I can't resist trying to play with.

 

The actual sunset was pretty good but not in the direction of this photo. Still there was a clear layer of sky near the horizon which gives that wonderful orange/yellow light.

 

This was shot using a reverse 3 stop grad. There was lots of light spray so I was cleaning the filter a lot.

 

I wonder how well the poor Canon is weather sealed because it gets a nice mist of salt water on it during these shots.

 

Cheers.

Dave: Eva, what are you watching?

Eva: Everything.

Dave: Seriously, we live on a quiet cul-de-sac with five homes and little traffic. What do you mean by 'everything'?

Eva: Everything that matters.

Dave: Silly me. How do you define something that matters?

Eva: Things that I care about. And in case you forgot, there's a small tree in the front yard.

Dave: When did you become an avid arborist?

Eva: I'm not. But, sometimes there are birds in that tree.

Dave: I've never seen a bird there in the winter.

Eva: That's because you don't know how to watch.

Dave: Wow, I'm not sure if I should take that as an insult or just a general philosophical statement.

Eva: You can take it how ever you want, as long as you don't interrupt my watching.

A bit of a brief conversation as she was otherwise occupied.

 

This is one of her favourite spots in the house. I love the magic of the camera. In reality the room was not this dark as it was late afternoon with ample light in the house. But a high contrast processing reduces this to everything that matters to her - the chair, the window, and the little world outside the window. If only the tree was in the frame too.

 

Been busy with life so it's just something from the rubbish bin. Sorry.

Pondicherry (/pɒndɨˈtʃɛri/ or /pɒndɨˈʃɛri/) or Puducherry is a city, an urban agglomeration and a municipality in Pondicherry district in the Indian union territory of Puducherry. It is affectionately known as Pondy, and has been officially known by the alternative name Puducherry since 2006.

A marketplace named Poduke or Poduca is recorded as a Roman trading destination from the mid 1st century. The area was part of the Pallava Kingdom of Kanchipuram in the 4th century. The Cholas of Thanjavur held it from the 10th to 13th centuries, only to be replaced by the Pandya Kingdom in the 13th century. The Vijayanagar Empire took control of almost all the South of India in the 14th century and lasted until 1638, to be supplanted by the Sultan of Bijapur. The French acquired Puducherry in 1674 and held control, with occasional interruption from the British and Dutch, until 1962, when it was incorporated into the Indian Union.

The geography of Pondicherry is the same as that of coastal Tamil Nadu. Pondicherry's average elevation is at sea level, and a number of sea inlets, referred to as "backwaters" can be found.

 

Pondicherry experiences coastal erosion. The city is protected against the sea by a 1.25 mile (2-kilometre) long seawall, first completed by the French in 1735, which reaches a height of 27 feet above sea level.[1] A weather-beaten cement plaque with the year 1952 is still visible along a section of the seawall. The seawall is protected from the direct onslaught of waves by rows of granite boulders which are reinforced every year to stop erosion. Whenever gaps appear or the stones sink into the sand, the Government adds more boulders to keep it strong.

Pondicherry city consists of 42 wards. Wards 1-10 are located in north of the city. Wards 11-19 are located in Boulevard Town and remaining wards are located in the South west of the downtown.

I opened the composter and this was staring back at me from under the lid, munching on something.

Tried some new techniques picked up in a weekend workshop in California. We were shooting in an old warehouse and had 2 580EX11's at 1/2 power each going through a small profoto octobox triggered via pocket wizards. The box was hand hand held via painters stick and used a Kacey paint pole adapter.

Zion Baptist Church, Cambridge. "Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness," Psalm 29:2. Being someone of a spiritual inclination, I was recently discussing the topic of worship with a Cambridge author, Sotirios Christou. As a Christmas present he gave me his new book "Informed Worship" -- an interesting read.

 

I like this quote from the book: "Worship is the means by which we interrupt our pre-occupation with ourselves and attend to God. We are endlessly absorbed and fascinated with ourselves, our image and appeal. Worship is the great corrective to all this," John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford (why Sotirios couldn't find anyone from CAMBRIDGE I'm not sure:-)

The two coloured streaks come from a boat which passed through my approx. 10 min exposure. I quite like the effect, although I thought at the time that I may have ruined a 20$+ sheet of film (including processing, Australia prices)...

 

Reciprocity calculated using this chart, it is very accurate and a welcome source given that Fuji does not publish any recommendations above 1 minute:

Amazing how 2001 expired film keeps the speed and colours this well. I would have expected a colour shift from the long exposure alone.

 

This is an approx. 5x7 crop of the 8x10 original transparency.

At the first sign of spring I grabbed my camera and headed for the creek to shoot some wildlife (with my camera.) I had set my lens on these beautiful mallards posed for a few shots before flying away, I think I was interrupting the spring thing:). U know what I mean!

Answering a question on the RBW mailing list...

 

Top-down view of the current incarnation of my Saluki controls. Nitto Noodle bar, Paul Thumbies, and interruptor levers. It all fits, even with my big paws, and it's very convenient. The Thumbies are clamped up on the Noodle sleeves to save real estate.

 

I didn't want any black anodized parts on this bike so I removed the anodizing on the interruptor mounts and the Thumbies, polished them a little, and then clearcoated them. Clear anodizing would have been better.

 

Cabling is Jagwire Switch with V-type brake 90-degree brake noodles used for a neat and tight run off the Thumbies. Cable runs by Dream Cycle. I may do the same for the front brake and eliminate its cable completely.

A few days of gray rain turned into a very windy and snowy day yesterday. We lost power last evening - so no Flickr time for me. Will catch up today!

 

This dismal shot was taken through a wet window, because I didn't want to take my camera outside. Eventually I took myself outside, where there were many opportunities to shoot colorful leaves sticking out of white snow...but alas, not a picture did I get.

Favoriten street is a major business and shopping street in the 4th district of Vienna, Wieden, and in the 10th district, Favoriten.

History

A path from the historical Vienna to the south

The Favoriten street was, and is, beside the Wieden Main Road, the most important road to the south of the 4th district. While the way since the Middle Ages via the Wieden Main Road and the Trieste street leads to Wiener Neustadt and further to Italy, one got over the Favoriten street in the southeast direction to Hungary. Its original name was Wimpassing was (after the old Hungarian border town of Wimpassing at the river Leitha on the way to Sopron), after the erection of the imperial pleasure castle Favorita in today's 4th district it was called Emperor way.

At the beginning of the street facing the city center, followed already in the 17th century a dense development, then the road as a track lead further to the gate Favorithen-Thor, where once again stood a smaller group of houses and a chapel. On the Wien plan of Vasquez from the year 1830 appeared the name Favoriten Linien street (line = gate in the Linienwall, a fiscal frontier). In the 19th century the character of the street changed due to numerous buildings of Gründerzeit. It was opposite of the former pleasure castle Favorita, where the Theresian Academy, an elite school, was housed, a noble residential area around 1900. In 1903, the Himberg street from Wieden Belt and from the later South Tyrolean square (which interrupts the numbering of the Favoriten street) was included in the Favoriten street as far as to the city boundary at the Danube landing railway. South of the railway remained the old name until today.

On the west side of the road, at the crossroads with the Gudrun street, a little bit moved away from the road, stands in the 10th district near Kepler square, interrupting the house numbering, the church Keplerkirche, long the only church of favoriten. A block of houses farther south, arose already after 1870 a market square (also on the western side of the street), named Viktor-Adler square since 1919; it also interrupts the house numbering of Favoriten street. The Viktor-Adler market is located on the square to this day.

The Reumann square interrupts the Favoriten street at the southern end of today's pedestrian zone. There the Amalienbad, an urban indoor swimming pool, was opened in 1926. Opposite, since 1955, the Ice Saloon Tichy, known beyond the district, is located.

The Per-Albin-Hansson settlement with the building elements West, North (both west of the road) and East was erected in 1947-1977 on the southern slope of the Laaer mountain on former agricultural land. It covers more than 6000 communal social dwellings. In 1959, the Laaerbergbad, a large urban summer bath, was opened directly south of the hilltop.

In 1970, arose instead of the crossing of the Favoriten street with Grenzacker street and Ludwig-von-Höhnel alley on a tip of the Laaer mountain, the roundabout Favoriten with accesses to the city motorway called Südoststangente, Austria's most heavily frequented road, and to Laaerbergbad. Since 1981, this traffic area has been officially called Old Estate.

From 1974 onwards, a large pedestrian zone was established between Columbus square and Reumann square in the 10th district, making this section the lively center of the district. Later the section from the Belt to Columbus square was also included and the here remaining tram line O was moved to the parallel Laxenburg Street.

Directly at the intersection of the Favoriten street with the Belt at South Tyrol square is the 2015 finished Vienna Main Railway Station.

 

Die Favoritenstraße ist eine bedeutende Geschäfts- und Ausfallstraße im 4. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, Wieden, und im 10. Bezirk, Favoriten.

Geschichte

Ein Weg vom historischen Wien nach Süden

Die Favoritenstraße war und ist neben der Wiedner Hauptstraße die wichtigste Ausfallstraße des 4. Bezirks nach Süden. Während der Weg seit dem Mittelalter über die Wiedner Hauptstraße und die Triester Straße nach Wiener Neustadt und in weiterer Folge nach Italien führt, gelangte man über die Favoritenstraße in südöstlicher Richtung nach Ungarn. Ihr ursprünglicher Name war Wimpassinger Weg (nach dem altungarischen Grenzort Wimpassing an der Leitha auf dem Weg nach Ödenburg), nach der Errichtung des kaiserlichen Lustschlosses Favorita im heutigen 4. Bezirk wurde sie Kaiserweg genannt.

Am stadtzentrumsseitigen Beginn der Straße erfolgte bereits im 17. Jahrhundert dichtere Verbauung, anschließend führte die Straße als Feldweg weiter zum Favorithen-Thor, bei dem wieder eine kleinere Häusergruppe mit Kapelle bestand. Auf dem Wien-Plan von Vasquez aus dem Jahr 1830 erscheint der Name Favoriten Linien Straße (Linie = Tor im Linienwall, eine Steuergrenze). Im 19. Jahrhundert veränderte sich der Charakter der Straße durch zahlreiche gründerzeitliche Bauten. Sie war gegenüber dem einstigen Lustschloss Favorita, in dem nunmehr die Theresianische Akademie, eine Eliteschule, untergebracht war, um 1900 eine vornehme Wohngegend. 1903 wurde die Himberger Straße vom Wiedner Gürtel und vom späteren Südtiroler Platz (der die Häusernummerierung der Favoritenstraße unterbricht) bis zur damaligen Stadtgrenze an der Donauländebahn in die Favoritenstraße einbezogen. Südlich der Bahn verblieb bis heute der alte Name.

Von der Straße etwas abgerückt steht im 10. Bezirk beim Keplerplatz, der die Häusernummerierung der Favoritenstraße ebenfalls unterbricht, am westlichen Straßenrand an der Kreuzung mit der Gudrunstraße die Keplerkirche, lang die einzige Kirche Favoritens. Einen Häuserblock weiter südlich entstand schon nach 1870 (ebenfalls am westlichen Straßenrand) ein Marktplatz, seit 1919 Viktor-Adler-Platz benannt; auch er unterbricht die Hausnummerierung der Favoritenstraße. Auf dem Platz befindet sich bis heute der Viktor-Adler-Markt.

Der Reumannplatz unterbricht die Favoritenstraße am südlichen Ende der heutigen Fußgängerzone. Dort wurde 1926 das Amalienbad, ein städtisches Hallenbad, eröffnet. Gegenüber befindet sich seit 1955 der über den Bezirk hinaus bekannte Eissalon Tichy.

Auf früher landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen wurde 1947–1977 auf dem Südabhang des Laaer Berges die Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung mit den Bauteilen West, Nord (beide westlich der Straße) und Ost errichtet. Sie umfasst mehr als 6000 kommunale Sozialwohnungen. 1959 wurde unmittelbar südlich der Bergkuppe das Laaerbergbad, ein großes städtisches Sommerbad, eröffnet.

1970 entstand statt der Kreuzung der Favoritenstraße mit Grenzackerstraße und Ludwig-von-Höhnel-Gasse auf einer Kuppe des Laaer Berges der Verteilerkreis Favoriten mit Zufahrten zur Südosttangente genannten Stadtautobahn, der stärkstfrequentierten Straße Österreichs, und zum Laaerbergbad. Seit 1981 heißt diese Verkehrsfläche amtlich Altes Landgut.

Ab 1974 entstand zwischen Columbusplatz und Reumannplatz im 10. Bezirk eine große Fußgängerzone, die diesen Abschnitt zum lebhaften Zentrum des Bezirks machte. Später wurde auch der Abschnitt vom Gürtel zum Columbusplatz einbezogen und die hier verbliebene Straßenbahnlinie O in die parallele Laxenburger Straße verlegt.

Unmittelbar bei der Kreuzung der Favoritenstraße mit dem Gürtel beim Südtiroler Platz befindet sich der 2015 fertiggestellte Wiener Hauptbahnhof.

The leaves to my maple are falling before they reach peak orangeness this year, Some are barely turning at all. Our wet weather may make for a short season when it comes to fall leaves. When I took the dogs out and saw this one had to run back in for the camera.
