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.”

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.
10.There are 11,000 red phone boxes in use in the UK.

Peter's elegant design extends the rack stay to become the headlight mount. And the wire runs through the stay.
Inverted Edelux was modified to provide switched taillight power.
(Headlight mounting bolt is not the final one, just a temporary place holder.)
Negative exposure of the image "Symphonic Light Abstraction".
This started out as an experiment with Christmas lights on a house in Tacoma, Washington. I like how there are hints of music symbols; bars, lines, notes, etc...
I like this abstract's outcome.
Photographed with NEX-5N + Enna-München Tele-Ennalyt 135/3.5
The Tele-Ennalyt is a lens for the Braun Paxette RF.
It is possible to use the Paxette lenses on the NEX. With an M39 extension tube of 15mm and a regular M39 to NEX adapter. This is the combination that was used here.
Whilst editing this photo I accidentally inverted it and it looked like this and decided to keep it.

This was a strike on a few yards away from me...I actually felt a tingling up my spine. I worked as an electrician's helper for a couple of summers and have been hit by 120w a few times..this was a very similar feeling. I felt really stupid after this happen for putting myself in such a dangerous position. This storm was very strong and was like a strobe light it had so much lightning with it. I had to take the exposure down all the way to finally see the flash and where the blast connected with the ground. It was mainly what I call spider lightning before this..the kind that jumps cloud to cloud and never makes a connection to the ground, after this blast it started striking in the corn field all around the house. a couple of tree were hit and there were burns in the field the next day where this hit...I wasn't able to get a good shot of the burns because the farmers are discing the field as fast as they can right now because the weather has them way behind on planting. Thats all we need is a bad harvest...the prices at the grocery stores are high enough without this adding to it. but remember when photographing severe weather stay close to cover and make sure to get yourself out of harms way before it get to rough to get away from!!

Paris, Third Day: Louvre Sculptures
As we made our way from the underground garage and the Hall Napoléon, we walked under an inverted pyramid on our way to the museum entrance. Believe it or not, there is a full shopping mall located off of these hallways… there was even an Apple store! We bought a couple of gifts for kids from the Louvre stores.
Best viewed on black. (Well, I reckon so anyway)
Take a jug of cream, photograph a drip shot. Accidentally add some funkiness in photoshop.
Take a Goose, follow his suggestion of inverting and rotating.
Voila! New planets and black holes created :)
Photo of the image formed by my Sigma 30/1.4; because the object is outside the focal length, the image is real and inverted. Examining feature sharpness by eye verifies that the image is formed at approximately the focal length (relative to the rear principle point of the lens) as expected from the lens equation. Taken with my Olympus 14-42 kit lens; FL-36R bounce flash off the ceiling.
This may look, to you, like a strange composite photo. It is in fact exactly as I captured it on my phone at The Mall shopping precinct near Bristol UK. - except I inverted the image. There has appeared there an 'upside down house' whiere you can pay to enter and take 'selfies' as if you are standing on the ceiling ! (I didn't pay)
Looks like the crew wanted to have some fun and took the B-1 inverted on their way out of Beale! Pretty awesome to see a heavy bomber upsidedown.
This is the sample image from Nikon. I originaly made the colors brighter. Now I have taken the modified version and inverted it. This is the outcome. I hope you like it...
I have come to really enjoy the effect of the un-natural look!!!!!!!!!
The inverter (DC to AC converter) for our solar power system, mounted on the outside of our house on the front porch. The little LCD in the middle tells us how much we generate each day.
The effect of applying the 1/z transformation to the outside of the Mandelbrot set, and using the conformal mapping between the inside of a disk and the inside of the inverted Mandelbrot described here.
Another expensive Xantrex electronic marvel - I got the 3000 watt unit instead of the 2000 watt one because it had a killer remote control panel not available on the smaller one, which I mounted with the other controls just in front of the shower. The blue network cable you see allows them to communicate. The driver's side rear wheel well is what you're looking at on the left side- the inverter is mounted under the bed right behind the regular electric panel enclosure. It weighs 70 pounds and is too big to put anywhere else.
In the top left below the jack stuff you can see the 400 amp fuse in the positive line (this is all 4/0 copper welding cable as big as your thumb) from the three group 27 12 volt batteries. Because they're spread out all over, each battery is also fused at the positive terminal at 150 amps. That way, any short anywhere along the 20 foot cable path won't create an electric fire. The gray wire is for the battery temperature sensors - one for the MPPT and one for the inverter. They're mounted on the battery I put behind the driver's side rear wheel, in a battery box that is a mirror image of the standard one on the passenger side.
I integrated the inverter output into the existing AC wiring in the Roadtrek. Power from shore and generator goes into an existing switching relay, and the output from that goes into the inverter AC input. Inverter AC output goes into the Roadtrek AC panel where the output from the switching relay used to go. As a result, all AC outlets in the RT are live whenever the inverter's on, which is pretty much all the time. Inverter works like a UPC - it cut in once when I was running the generator and turned on the air conditioner, because it didn't like the voltage drop the extra load caused, and there I was - running the air conditioner on batteries. Crazy.

Protein lava cake
Molten chocolate lava cakes are rich and fudgy with a classic gooey chocolate center that flows out like lava. So simple and easy to make on this Valentines day.
Ingredients:
•½ cup unsalted butter, cut into ½ inch cubes
•180g of sweet chocolate
•2 large eggs
•2 large egg yolks
•½ teaspoon vanilla extract
•¼ cup confectioners' sugar
•⅛ teaspoon salt
•15g of Qnt Light Digest Belgian chocolate
•3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease four 6-oz. ramekins or three 8-oz. ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess cocoa powder. This will help the lava cakes come out easily when inverted.
2.Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium heat-proof bowl and set aside to allow it to slightly cool. You can melt the chocolate either on the stove or in the microwave.
•On the stove: Bring 2 inches of water to a low simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Then turn the heat to low and place medium heatproof bowl of chocolate with butter on the mouth of the pot. Make sure that there is a gap of a few inches in between the bottom of the bowl and the water (You can also place a bowl on a steamer attachment on top of your pot). Stir the chocolate constantly as it melts. Stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. This should take a few minutes.
•In the microwave: The second way to melt chocolate (and an easier way) is in the microwave. Place the medium heatproof bowl of chocolate and butter into the microwave and microwave in 20 second intervals. Remove the bowl at each interval and stir well. Repeat until the chocolate has completely melted. Stir until completely smooth.
3.In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or a whisk to beat together the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt, on low speed, until combined, about 1 minute.
4.Pour in the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, along with the flour and protein powder. . Use a rubber spatula and fold it in until fully combined. Note that the batter will be thick but should not be lumpy.
5.Place the ramekins on a quarter sheet baking pan and divide the batter between them. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges look solid and firm. The tops will still be soft with a slight jiggle in the center. Do not overcook as overcooking will cause the center to completely solidify and not be gooey. If you are not sure how hot your oven runs, I suggest making one first to test. If it has solidified too much, then adjust the bake time lower. Mine turns out perfect at exactly 12 minutes.
6.Allow the cakes to cool in the ramekinsfor 1 minute, then cover each with an inverted plate and use an oven mitt to flip them over and release the cakes onto the plate
7.Add toppings (such as a scoop of vanilla ice cream, dusting with powdered sugar, garnishing with fresh fruit, or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce or chocolate sauce). Serve immediately.

Moelleux au chocolat protéiné
Ce moelleux au chocolat est riche et onctueux avec un coeur de chocolat fondant qui s'écoule comme de la lave. Très simple et facile pour la Saint-Valentin !
Ingrédients :
- ½ tasse de beurre non salé, coupé en cubes de +/- 1 cm.
- 180g de chocolat noir
- 2 gros œufs
- 2 gros jaunes d'oeufs
- ½ cuillère à café d'extrait de vanille
- ¼ tasse de sucre glace
- une pincée de sel
- 15g de chocolat belge Qnt Light Digest
- 3 cuillères à soupe de farine
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Préchauffer le four à 220 °C. Graisser quatre ramequins de 170g ou trois ramequins de 225g et saupoudrer de poudre de cacao. Cela permettra de démouler les gâteaux facilement en les retournant.
2.Faites fondre le chocolat et le beurre dans un bol moyen résistant à la chaleur et mettez-le de côté pour qu'il refroidisse légèrement. Vous pouvez faire fondre le chocolat sur la cuisinière ou au micro-ondes.
- Sur la cuisinière : Versez 35ml d'eau dans une casserole à feu moyen-doux jusqu'à frémissement. Baissez le feu et placez le bol de chocolat avec le beurre au bain marie. Assurez-vous qu'il y a un espace de quelques centimètres entre le fond du bol et l'eau (vous pouvez également placer un bol sur un accessoire de cuisson à la vapeur sur le dessus de votre casserole). Remuez constamment le chocolat pendant qu'il fond jusqu'à ce qu'il soit complètement lisse et fondu. Cela devrait prendre quelques minutes.
- Au micro-ondes : La deuxième façon de faire fondre le chocolat (et la plus facile) est de le faire au micro-ondes. Placez le bol moyen résistant à la chaleur contenant le chocolat et le beurre dans le four à micro-ondes et faites-le chauffer par intervalles de 20 secondes. Retirez le bol à chaque intervalle et remuez bien. Répétez l'opération jusqu'à ce que le chocolat soit complètement fondu. Remuez jusqu'à ce que le mélange soit bien lisse.
3.Dans un bol de taille moyenne, utilisez un batteur électrique à main ou un fouet pour battre ensemble les œufs, les jaunes d'œufs, l'extrait de vanille, le sucre et le sel, à faible vitesse, jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient bien mélangés, pendant environ 1 minute.
4.Versez le chocolat fondu dans le mélange d'œufs, ainsi que la farine et la poudre de protéines . Utilisez une spatule en caoutchouc et incorporez-les jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient complètement incorporés. La pâte sera épaisse mais ne doit pas être grumeleuse.
5.Placez les ramequins sur une plaque de cuisson et répartissez la pâte entre eux. Faites cuire pendant 12 à 14 minutes jusqu'à ce que les bords aient l'air solides et fermes. Le milieu doit être légèrement mou. Ne faites pas trop cuire, sinon le centre se solidifiera complètement et ne sera pas coulant. Si vous n'êtes pas sûr de la température de votre four, je vous suggère d'en faire d'abord un pour tester. S'il s'est trop solidifié, ajustez le temps de cuisson plus bas. Le mien est parfait à 12 minutes exactement.
6.Laissez les gâteaux refroidir dans les ramequins pendant 1 minute, puis couvrez-les d'une assiette renversée et utilisez un gant de cuisine pour les retourner et les libérer sur l'assiette.
7.Ajouter des garnitures (comme une boule de glace à la vanille, du sucre en poudre, des fruits frais ou un filet de sauce au caramel salé ou au chocolat). Servez immédiatement.

The Daily Shoot assignment #DS477 Today's theme is red. Red hot? Red paint? Or something else?
I found a skeletonized fruit of a chinese lantern in the garden with a dried RED seed. I tried to capture the red seed but it came out with too much other colors. The inverted image shows exactly what I wanted.
