It's a ton of fun hanging out with a group of friends who are also lighting geeks.

James led two of our tours around Edinburgh and says he has plans to be king of Scotland after the next Jacobite rebellion that he predicts for 2045.
James was sitting on a couple crates near Dunkin Donuts, on Wabash street near Trump Tower. He needs clothes, "pretty much everything", he said. When I guessed his waist size (for jeans) and he smiled and said, "how do you know that?" He was a friendly guy and didn't have a whole lot to say but, "I've been out here about an hour and a half". He's been homeless for about a year. What he wants people to know is, "I don't do drugs".
James Ensor - 1860-1949.
Museum Plantin-Moretus (Antwerp, Belgium):
Ensor's States of Imagination.
Ensor's adventure with etching starts in 1886. He is 26 years old then, at the height of his career. During the following years, he is completely taken by the art of etching. He creates over 130 prints. Befriended artists and master-printers teach him the intricacies of the art.

Clouds are in the forecast for exoplanet WASP-96 b!
The James Webb Space Telescope spotted the unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze & evidence for clouds (once thought not to exist there). This is the most detailed exoplanet spectrum to date! More: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages/
A spectrum is created when light is split into a rainbow of colors. When Webb observes the light of a star, filtered through the atmosphere of its planet, its spectrographs split up the light into an infrared rainbow. By analyzing that light, scientists can look for the characteristic signatures of specific elements or molecules in the spectrum.
Located in the southern-sky constellation Phoenix, WASP-96 b is 1,150 light-years away. It’s a large, hot planet with a “puffy” atmosphere, orbiting very close to its Sun-like star. In fact, its temperature is greater than 1000 degrees F (537 degrees C) — significantly hotter than any planet in our own solar system!
Please note that the illustration in the background of the image is based on what we know of WASP-96b. Webb hasn't directly imaged the planet or its atmosphere. (Fun fact: space is big and planets are small — though Webb CAN image exoplanets directly, the images would just show a dot of light. Consider that though Pluto is in our own solar system, it is still so far that we didn’t know what it really looked like until New Horizons visited it.)
Image Description:
Graphic titled “Hot Gas Giant Exoplanet WASP-96 b Atmosphere Composition, NIRISS Single-Object Slitless Spectroscopy.” The graphic shows the transmission spectrum of the hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b captured using Webb's NIRISS Single-Object Slitless Spectroscopy with an illustration of the planet and its star in the background. The data points are plotted on a graph of amount of light blocked in parts per million versus wavelength of light in microns. A curvy blue line represents a best-fit model. Four prominent peaks visible in the data and model are labeled “water, H2O.”

In 1333 Nayland was a chapel of ease to Stoke-by-Nayland, but it was not until the end of the 14th century that the flourishing wool and cloth trades brought importance and prosperity. It was around 1400 that the present church was built. During the 14th and 15th centuries there are many records of Nayland clothiers giving money and property to the church.
During the Civil War (1642-1658) St James's Church fell into the hands of the Parliamentarians and engraved brasses were torn from gravestones, the indentations in the stone work can be clearly seen. These were difficult times but gradually, towards the beginning of the 18th century the importance of the "religious question" subsided.
It was not until 1747 that the first step towards ecclesiastical independence from Stoke-by-Nayland was established. In that year, during the ministry of the Rev. John White, the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty granted the sum of £400 to be laid in the purchase of lands for the "Perpetual Curacy of Nayland". In 1869 the title of the incumbent of St James's changed from "Perpetual Curate" to "Vicar". Rev. J. Hunnybun became the first to be called "Vicar of Nayland". Since that time there have been thirteen vicars serving at St James; their names are displayed on a board in the south aisle.
Behind the altar set in the centre of an 18th century reredos is a rare religious painting by John Constable. "Christ Blessing the Bread and Wine of the Last Supper” was commissioned in 1809 by Constable's aunt who at that time was living in Nayland. The painting was stolen in 1985 but was swiftly recovered and has since been enclosed behind glass with a special security system. Two further religious paintings by Constable hung in All Saints' Church, Feering, Essex and in St. Michael's, Brantham, Suffolk. “The Ascension” can be seen at St. Mary's, Dedham.
I know this is out of focus, but I still love this photo.
I had only taken the one lens with me to the zoo and we were taking the little boat round The Islands. There just wasn't enough distance between us to focus properly.

I am up for another autumn trek nostalgia series. We made a several forays into the high country for the aspen season but this time, Phil and I expected no color on an early November day that was toasty and clear. We "toasted" the day by heading up James Creek from the Peak to Peak Highway. We traveled the Peak to Peak Highway south from Peaceful Valley and turned right to park at James Creek trail head and plug any easy view of the trail. The area attracted little attention on that day. We encountered no trekkers on the trail or up at the meadow.
It took us little time to suit up and head up the trail. Little has changed from our last time up. Later on, we bush whacked and wandered to this open spot on the creek created as it sneaks around a minor rise. This view of the stream and the aspen are bupkis but the aspen standing white against the bluebird sky is bold. It is a heck of a stand that would have been glorious on an earlier fall day. I bet no weather will arrive later on this day. The biggest question is why are my feet dry in the middle of the stream on this November day? It looks like they high country is short on water flow.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope isn’t covered by a protective tube like Hubble, instead technicians and engineers designed innovative shielding behind the primary mirrors — to keep out excess light.
To fit inside the Ariane 5 rocket that Webb will ride to space, some of its mirrors are designed to fold, and deploy to full size once in orbit. Shown here: technician Ricardo Pantoja performs a routine inspection of NASA Webb’s innovative blanketing along the connection point of its deployable primary mirror segments.
To observe objects in the distant cosmos, and to do science that’s never been done before, the Webb telescope’s scientific instruments need to be cooled down to a temperature so cold, it would freeze the oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere solid.
Intentionally chilling the telescope mirrors and instruments with innovative technologies and intelligent spacecraft design allows them to be far more sensitive to faint infrared light. Infrared can be described simply as heat, and if Webb’s components are cool, they are far more capable at observing faint heat signatures from the distant universe.

I noticed him relaxing against the department store windows of Toronto’s downtown Eaton Centre. He was finishing a cigarette. I thought his face had character and his hat and sunglasses added more character. He seemed to welcome my approach and asked how I was doing. I said I was fine and introduced myself, explaining my project photographing strangers. He said he would be happy to participate and invited me to “have at it.” Meet James. James gave his full name which included a first and last name, along with two middle names. My guess that he was from Great Britain proved true. He is 68 (soon to turn 69) and was born in Scotland.
James quickly volunteered some information about his background (that he has travelled to 34 countries and has learned a bit of the language in all of them.
I photographed James pretty much where we met. I took a couple of frames against the windows, then a few with Yonge Street in the background, and finally, a couple around the corner. James was more than obliging of my requests and told me that he used to own an Olympus camera himself and appreciated the fact that a single photo does not always capture what the photographer wants – especially when it’s a portrait. As we were talking, the light suddenly changed when the sun popped out and reflected off a glass building just up the street. When I grabbed my camera and asked for another photo (this one), James didn't hesitate and said he understood the importance of good light.
With the photos taken, we continued to chat for several minutes and James confirmed my experience that everyone I meet on the streets has an interesting story to tell. He explained that he used to work in the electronics industry, producing television sets for Philips. He once worked for the University of Toronto which gave him the opportunity to further his education. He has been married three times and has three adult children. When I asked how his children are doing he smiled and said they were doing well.
James shared that he had spent four years in jail, having been caught in Canada with a considerable amount of marijuana. When I asked how difficult his jail time had been, he said it was not too difficult. His time spent was in Eastern Ontario in a fairly relaxed facility housing people convicted of low-risk, non-violent crimes. He told me about a couple of the people he met while incarcerated and said that he had been appointed the “house manager” which he enjoyed doing. I commented that he seemed a friendly sort and surmised that the authorities must have seen that he was reliable and trustworthy and he nodded that this was the case.
When I asked him what advice he would give his younger self he thought for a few moments and said “Nothing really. I have no regrets about the life I’ve led.” His message to the project was “Listen more to others and use what you hear to better understand yourself.” He had a very interesting personal philosophy that involved being observant of others, noting their good and not so good qualities, and absorbing the good ones. I commented that in doing my photo project I have also been very aware of the good will most people I meet embody, him included. James said “The same is true of you, Jeff. I could tell right away that you were sincere or I would not have agreed to take part in your project.”
James’ lingering handshake as we finished our conversation seemed to emphasize his sincerity and friendliness. We wished each other the best of luck and echoed each other in our appreciation of having met.
