The image is presented as shot - not inverted. I was tempted to flip it - to make it look like a ? - but I resisted the temptation.
Two Egyptian boys ride their interesting looking tricycle on the streets of their small town, just north of downtown Cairo.
A fascinating tidbit about this area where my friend Mohammed lives: it has a wedding, and a funeral, almost every night... but never simultaneously. The families contact each other to discuss when each can hold its event, so as to not interfere with the other's, as both events take over the streets -- something very common in small and poor areas around Cairo. The tidbit has nothing two do with two boys riding their tricycle, but I thought it was pertinent information to share!
The VPX3101 is Black and Decker's power-pack for the VPX line. It takes the 7-volt lithium pack and produces 120V (at 8 watts) and 5V (at 2.5 watts) for your toys. I ripped the guts out of one and built a flashlight into it.
So "Flight" was a very good movie, it reminded me I shot this earlier this year...SOOC except for a slight edit near the bottom, as this is really part of a giant statue consisting of 3 real T-38 jet planes at the Owatonna Airport.
Week 9 Picasso the Foreigner (1441-1445) 3/23 – 3/28/2025
ID 1445
Man Ray American 1890 - 1976
Fair Weather , 1939
Oil on canvas
Man Ray described Fair Weather as the culmination of his Surrealist career. The mannequin figure may be a coded self-portrait and the painting contains quotations from a few of his earlier paintings. Fair Weather is also a nightmarish premonition of the Second World Wart; the bombarded stone wall and puddle of blood are two of its more direct symbols of violence. The artist left this painting behind when he departed Europe for his native United States in 1940, but he eventually reclaimed it and kept it for the rest of his life.

During the summer of 1936, Picasso's tangled personal situation grew even more complicated. He began a new romantic relationship with Dora Maar, whom he spotted in a café in Saint-Germain-des-Pres (in December 1935 or January 1936? Even now, the question remains unanswered) and to whom Éluard introduced him. Maar was a fellow artist, a well-known surrealist photographer who had worked with Man Ray, Max Ernst, Georges Bataille , and Brassaï. Pierre Daix mentioned a "perfect communion," recalling Picasso's fascination with her in that scene: Dora Maar at the café, an emancipated woman, intense provocative, disturbing, playing at stabbing a large knife between the fingers of her gloved hands. Picasso asked for the gloves and she gave them to him. …
I wasn't aware of those photographs from March 1936. Through Picasso's lens, I discovered a calm, intense young woman sitting in the evening shade, with regular features, pale eye, dressed in a comfortable cardigan, focused on reading a newspaper, and emanating a vibrant, almost charismatic presence. But I discovered another side to her in the portrait sessions that the two of them conducted together at Boisgeloup--Maar photographing Picasso, Picasso photographing Maar--and in a series of joint experiments that followed in Maar's darkroom on Rue d'Astorg, playing games with the photographer-model and subject-object relationships, taking turns in front of the lens and behind the lens, games that she had already played with Man Ray…Maar produced some incredible photographs in Portrait of Picasso, Winter 35-36, inverting his image, scrawling a halo of black ink on his face to steal one of his eyes and transform him into a Cyclops, playing with him the way he used to play with his models. Thus, Picasso became an object that she could distort at will with beautiful use of shading, contrasts, abstractions, chiaroscuros.
Unlike Breton and the others, there was no obsequiousness in her attitude to Picasso. It was moe like two equals jousting. As a subversive daughter of a respectable family, Maar was aware of her superiority and affirmed it with confidence, aplomb, audacity, and wit. A few years earlier, according to Daix, Brassaï had forgotten a blank photographic place at Boisgeloup, and Picasso, ever eager to experiment, had not been able to resist "the urge to attack this smooth, uniform surface, like the top of a frozen lake." Three years later, it was Dora Maar who was teaching him the technique. In the hands of this photographer who had now become his subject and guide, Picasso was, I believe, suddenly destabilized, his legendary fearlessness lost as he was subjugated and stimulated in turn by this political activist who challenged him, this photographer more expert in technique than he was, this respected surrealist (the D of whose first name was one of the initials of the seven women chosen by Breton for the name of the gallery GRADIVA). With Dora Maar in Three-Quarter Profile (spring 1936), Dora Maar and Antique Figure (August 1, 1936), Dora and the Minotaur (September 5, 1936), and Dora with Mantilla (September 20, 1936), by "subjecting her to her own rayogram technique, invented by Man Ray," Picasso gradually, haltingly attempted to imprison the photographer in his own universe.

Feb 6 2017 [Ununusal] As I was going into work this morning I noticed this odd cloud in the sky.. It looks like the Ying Yang of clouds along with some pretty inverted colours.. probably the remnants of an airplane's vapor trail but the colours and shape played nicely with the backdrop. Kinda nice.
This is a standing lamp shade which I simply inverted and also thought it suitable to a square format crop. Lots of twists, turns and curls!
7 Days of Shooting Week #43 - Twists, Turns and Curls - Thoroughly Abstract Thursday .....
Thanks, in advance, to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
I wonder about the intended symbolism here. The inverted christmas tree as anti-commercialism? But this is right in a shopping mall. Anti-pagan? Or just to give people standing underneath a feeling of the Santa Claus perspective from above?
This is the right way up for this image but it does actually work fine if I flip it. The only difference is it make it look as if I took it from another aircraft as I'm then higher than the Pitts. Also, if that was the case you would probably expect to see some ground.
These people are actually reflections on a glass roof over a pavement in Park street, Kolkata. I inverted the image to make it look more realistic
BT ArtBox project celebrating 25 years of Childline
ArtBox Title: Inverted
Artist: Terence and James Woodgate
Location: Old Quebec Street
Open-air art exhibition across London - Summer 2012
• BT marked 25th anniversary of ChildLine with launch of open-air art exhibition in London
• BT ArtBox project saw leading artists, designers and creatives transform full-size replicas of iconic Gilbert Scott–designed red telephone box into stunning artworks
• Throughout June and July 2012, BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations across the capital
• The National Portrait Gallery hosted a gala auction on July 18 where the ArtBoxes were auctioned to raise money for ChildLine
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ChildLine, BT announced the launch of the BT ArtBox project – a new public art exhibition set to take over the capital Summer 2012.
Leading artists, designers and creatives from around the world were invited to apply their individual talents to re-style that much-loved icon of British design, the traditional red telephone box.
Each artist or designer took delivery of a full-size, fibre-glass replica of the Sir Giles Gilbert Scott-designed original K6 telephone kiosk, which was introduced in 1936 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
Participating artists included 2002 Turner prize winner Keith Tyson, Romero Britto and Royal Academician Professor of Sculpture David Mach, along with fashion designers Giles Deacon and Zandra Rhodes.
The BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations around the capital between June 18 and July 16 before being auctioned off at a VIP Gala Auction at the National Portrait Gallery on July 18 to raise funds for BT’s long-time partner ChildLine.
Esther Rantzen OBE, founder of ChildLine and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: “I’m thrilled that ChildLine’s 25th birthday is to be celebrated by such a unique and inspiring project as BT Artbox.
“The red phone box is a much loved symbol of British culture and I’m keen to see how the artists involved will create new masterpieces from such an iconic canvas. It’s fantastic that the proceeds from the sale of the boxes will raise vital funds to support the work of ChildLine, enabling us to help many more children and young people to get comfort, advice and protection when they need it most.”
Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: “The Gilbert Scott telephone box is a truly iconic British design, and I’m looking forwards to seeing how artists and designers transform the replica boxes into works of art on London’s streets.”
David Mach, said: “It’s great to be involved with the ArtBox Exhibition. I get to kill more than two birds with one stone...work with a great charity (hopefully make money for it) and a classic British design. I love all things Gilbert Scott. Anything that encourages us to get his design back on our streets does it for me”.
Suzi Williams, director of BT Group Marketing and Brand, said: “BT has a history of supporting British cultural initiatives and 2012 is no exception. What better way to celebrate ChildLine's 25th anniversary than transforming replicas of the classic red phone box into a public art exhibition that can be enjoyed by all in the build-up to the Games this summer."
Martine Ainsworth-Wells, London & Partners, Marketing and Communications director, said:
“London & Partners is excited to support BT ArtBox in the run up to London 2012. BT ArtBox will bring some of the UK’s finest artistic talents to London’s streets, adding a new creative dimension to the capital at such an important time in its history.”
Artists and creatives who were interested in designing an ArtBox visited btartbox.com for more information about how to get involved.
The BT ArtBox project was supported by the Mayor of London, Professor Malcolm Garrett RDI, London & Partners, The May Fair Hotel, Harvey Nichols, The Times and The Sunday Times and borough councils across the capital.

Top 10 facts about the K6 red phone box
1. Kiosk number 6 or “Jubilee Kiosk” commemorates the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
2. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott also designed Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and Bankside Power Station now Tate Modern.
3. More than 1,600 decommissioned red phone boxes, mostly K6s, have been sold to local communities for just a £1 under BT’s Adopt a Kiosk scheme. Uses include being fitted with lifesaving defibrillation machines, turned into art galleries and public libraries.
4. The K6 was the first kiosk installed nationwide and the standard kiosk across the UK until the introduction of the K8 in 1968.
5. The K6 kiosk is made from cast iron with a teak door. It is 8’3” tall (2.4 metres) and weighs three quarters of a ton (762 kilograms).
6. The K6 design was approved by the Post Office and the Royal Fine Arts Commission, which endorsed “Post Office red” as the standard colour.
7. Although Scott agreed to the use of “Post Office red” he was never a supporter of the colour and initially suggested the outside of the kiosk be painted silver and the inside greenish-blue. He strongly urged rural kiosks be painted dove-grey.
8. Two K6 kiosks were installed in France during 1995, for the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
9. Several red K6’s have been transformed into combined payphones and cash machines.

Hypothetical (unbuilt, untested) circuit for a "smart" EL-wire inverter. There is a traditional boost section that operates well above audio frequencies to produce ~100V DC, followed by an H-bridge that converts that to AC (~200Vp-p) Both sections are under SW control, and you can vary brightness by changing the AC frequency (for example.)
That's what this haircut is called, apparently.
(This haircut was done by Bobby at Locks and Lads on 7th Street in the East Village--though he's with a different haircuttery now.)
I took this photo and inverted the values (i.e. created the negative). To me it makes it look like a very crisp night shot, but there is also an element of the eerie, sort of like when a guy holds a light to his chin when he tells a ghost story.
