the joint of the colors and shapes, so nervous, contrast with the quiet of the ground and the back.

Got all but the large format film back.... going to be scanning for a good long while. Mott, North Dakota via the Seagull TLR. We have it on good authority that this place is awash in cash.
Another view of one of the most charismatic aeroplane designs ever - the magnificent Vickers VC-10.
Back in September 2005, their home base at RAF Brize Norton was having runway re-surfacing so No's.10 and 101 Squadron's VC-10 fleet along with the Tristars from 216 Squadron and 99 Squadron's Globemasters re-located to RAF Fairford some 10 miles south-west of Brize.
Here VC-10 K.3 ZD230/K of No.101 Squadron sits on Fairford's western pans before her next tasking.
Along with the other co-located RAF assets, she was joined there by a pair of B-52's from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana plus a pair of Lancers from Dyess, Texas with their accompanying AFRC KC-135R tankers all the way from Grissom AFB, Kokomo, Indiana.
Now with the VC-10 about to be retired, it's rather fitting that I was lucky enough to get this and associated images through the fence at Fairford.
In fact I've been looking for this set for a while and luckily I just rediscovered them by accident.
ZD230 was originally delivered to BOAC as Super VC-10 G-ASGA and after sterling service as an airliner, then as a RAF tanker, she ended her days at RAF St Athan with the nose section last being seen there. Whether it survived I'm not sure - a sad end to a mighty aeroplane.

Students waiting for their first class of the 2nd K-Pop Academy to start.
Now in its 2nd Term, the Kpop Academy is a course that encourages K-pop fans to learn more about the culture of Korea.
This course aims to give K-pop fans a firm grounding in the history of the development of the K-pop phenomenon – including an understanding of Korea’s history, culture, language, food, etc.
It will also allow K-pop fans to develop an understanding of the dynamic relationship between K-pop music and Korean cultural determinants. Moreover, the ‘K-pop Academy’ will help students understand K-pop as both a Korean and a global phenomenon. It will also encourage a more hands-on approach, where students will participate in various activities – for example, cooking a Korean meal. Finally, this course will give students an understanding of the interconnectedness of K-pop as a form of mass entertainment.
I worked on this what feels like a lifetime ago. Windows and my email records tell me it was only three years ago.
In 2007-2008 I started to get excited about adapting public domain prose (still am) and one afternoon in Toronto, while listening to the CBC, I heard about a strange writer named G. K. Chesterton who wrote a book with a title that sold me: The Man Who Was Thursday. Discovering known figures well into my thirties is something I'm accustomed to. My blind spot in literature and culture in general is gargantuan, but I'd prefer it this way than the other way around. This is why I like to talk about art: I know so little.
I abandoned the project (I once owned the domain whowasthursday.com to give some indication of my investment) because, well, there were other fish to fry. It was too big a project to take on out of the gate, and the novel itself wasn't the right fit, after careful consideration (cheers, PK). Still, I think the idea was inspired. I am very happy I have these instincts. I am quite happy to fail.
Many artists and writers I know have a hard time finishing things. This is because they all see the faults and aren't able to eliminate them all. Perfection is the enemy. I don't seem to have a problem with showing my obviously flawed work (look back and see how my line developed; my early work was often terrible), but I do start tenfold more things than I'll ever finish. This doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I remember feeling good about where things were headed at the point I saved out the above. I think it stands on its own (the text is the introduction to the novel), and so here it is.
My hard drives are filled with thousands and thousands of files like this. I'd need a year to just go through them all.
