Several exposures here to balance the range of light in the lava to the background and shadows.

Title and lyric from Neil Young's 'Like A Hurricane'.
This image was originally of the lights from a lava lamp, being moved around (at our Camera Club practical evening). Needless to say, I used some Photoshop filters to arrive at the end result, although the colours are as the original shot.
Rainy days and Mondays don't get me down but one can tell when Amanda is bored because she has to resort to taking a photo of the lava lamp!!!
Actually, I'm never bored and that is the truth. Being a narcoleptic, "awake" is a bonus so I tend to cram as much as possible in.
So, I was doing a huge clean (okay, okay, I do a huge clean every day as I am neurotic about neat and tidy) and I discovered my son't lava lamp so I switched it on to see if it still works.
Do you know how hypnotic lava lamps are!!!! I felt the urge to take a photo (it was that or the lava lamp was talking to me!!), took it and look E.T. lives!!!!
December 27, 2015 - Funny cheap little retro gift for Kirk that completely mimics how my head feels today.
Love love love this doll. Her look is just great. The quality is pretty horrible too. Cheap body, rather thin fabrics, not much thinner than Barbie's but still. And that body is just blegh.
Lava Lamps, invented by a British accountant Edward Craven Walker in 1968 who t hen set up a company ‘Mathmos’ to sell and distribute them. Still going today in the original factory in Poole, Dorset.
Interesting factoid:- In 2004, a man from Kent,Washington,USA was killed by a lava lamp on a kitchen stove while closely observing it from only a few feet away. Heat from the stove built up pressure in the lamp until it exploded and a shard pierced his heart, causing fatal injuries. Probably won the Darwin Award that year :).
The weather made a mess of today's plans - I was supposedly going to be driving over to Sheffield for a gig, but the morning's snow and the promise of more later made me bail on driving over the Pennines. Watched football and a Country music channel that's just appeared on Virgin media instead. Here's my lava lamp.
My first attempt at a time lapse video. Be easy on me :P
and i know i promised something bright and colorful but I had to try this out ;)
let me know what you guys think :)

Ever since I hit puberty, I have never been the type of person who has a lot of friends. I'm not talking about acquaintances, I mean honest to god real friends. This really never made much sense to me. If I was someone else, I’d love to be friends with me lol.
For whatever reason I haven’t had much luck in finding likeminded people who I feel really close to. I mean I do here and there throughout my life, but it's been few and far between. I partly blame on the society I live in which makes it really hard for a male to befriend a male in any kind of "close" way. Anything outside of the who macho thing is typically looked at as "gay" or "strange" or something negative along those lines. And with girls, well, you know how that goes.
And the friends that I do have are almost all entirely exclusive of one another. Never do they mix up and suddenly become a “circle” of friends. Probably because they are all so radically different in every way this just wouldn’t ever happen.
It’s funny, I sit here in this big ass town right smack dab in the middle of the entire San Francisco bay area and I barely know anyone in it. I was walking home from a walk with Chloe the other night. As we walked past some lady in the house next door to us letting her dog out, it kind of hit me I don’t know her. Nor do I know anyone else on this street. Hell, I barely know anyone in my apartment complex. I only have spoken the words “hey” and “whats up” to both of my adjoining neighbors.
There is something wrong with this picture, wouldn’t you say? And it isn’t uncommon either. We have become a society of hermits who don’t take the time to get to know our fucking lousyass neighbor.
Wouldn’t common sense say there are 300 million people in this country, the least I can do is get to know the people who live around me. Yet we all remain total complete strangers. We know the celebrities on our TV and the mostly invisible people on the internet better than we know the people we see every single day.
Do you have a ton of friends? If you are a working adult, how do you make friends outside of the work place? Think about where you met some of your closest people outside of your family. And are you as listless with your neighbors as I am with mine?

Today is Flickr's 21st birthday! Today's theme is *BOLD*
Here is my lava lamp - which is used to bring me a moment of joy, and provide a bit of lighting when I eat dinner.
Did you know that lava lamps are used to generate random numbers? Cloudflare has a whole wall full of them, and cameras are used to get all sorts of measurements which are then used to create the random numbers that keep us all safe online.
The whole process is called 'Lavarand' and you can read about it, here:

Did you know the Orangutan is the largest tree-dwelling animal in the world?
Daniel Smith watercolor & gouache on Hahnemühle Expression Paper.
I’m having trouble keeping up, so this was done rather quickly. I went too small with 4 x 6 in. It would have so much easier to do the detail if I’d gone up to a 5 x 7.

This week's theme of 'oil on water' was far too specific for me.... so apart from keeping an eye out for an oil tanker heading to the local port, I thought that this oily/watery/waxy hot lava lamp would not be too off-topic.

Not much in the way of ideas, time or mojo today so just a quick snap. Although I did seem to get rather lucky with the shapes made in the lava lamp!

Part of Don Marinelli's wonderful lava lamp collection at CMU's Entertainment Technology Center. He and I were having a great conversation in his office at the end of the day, and I got distracted by this incredible view. Don was gracious enough to let me photogeek out for awhile.
MESSAGE TO MY CONTACTS: A couple of weeks back I mentioned that I had started a little project for this month (September). It seems nobody worked it out, or if you did you just didn't say anything! So, apologies for the somewhat unconstructive comments on your photos at the start of the month with just one or two words! But that was my little game - for the number of words to correspond to the date!! So on 1st September I just left one word, two words on 2nd, 15 words on 15th and so on...... (There were one or two exceptions) Obviously I could not get round everyone every day as the month progressed, but I'll do my best to visit you today if you have anything new (and leave 30 words)!! Failing that, I'll just leave one word tomorrow!! Just kidding! LOL! :-)
The play of light and shadows caught my eye with this shot. That's a lava lamp on the left.
