happy fourth of july!
now . . . could the sun kindly come out for the weekend? pleeeeaaaase?
pretty please with sugar on top???
alright, fine. i'll just stay inside and take crappy self-portraits in my no natural light apartment. so there. seriously, our living room is soooo dark. there's just the one window in the corner. i actually had a dream last night that i was house shopping and found a great house with tons of windows and amazing natural light. then - i woke up. =(
we're going to try to go to long island city to see the fireworks tonight. and tomorrow, we're supposed to go to the beach with zach & penelope. hoping the rain stays away and the sun peeks out just a little bit! then, on sunday, chris & i are going to head to the brooklyn museum for the murakami exhibit before it leaves. and i'm sure we'll fit some chillaxin in there somewhere, too.
hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Back to the inter-garage workings with blue & yellows, and 109 has now arrived at Green Street Green from Croydon as 810 is made ready to depart. The specially made blinds included these workings although the pair are being posed for this picture. A day of many meetings as this is actually the first time they have ever been side by side, as 109 was sold out of the MB fleet in the mid 1980's. The sunlight on 810 in this picture actually makes it look brand new.
I'll be glueing most of of the parts together, per the plans, but will likely back them up with some screws. Here, I'm installing the braces on the bedway.
As soon as I entered Pizza Express in Ambience Mall, I noticed that it was very tastefully done & lit up or to put in simple words a customer’s delight. Our review started with a fun exercise, making our own Pizza!. The bloggers present had to make a pizza using ingredients provided to us and the best looking pizza was actually awarded a prize at the end of the evening,
Coming back to the dinner, I ordered Orange juice, pineapple juice, Berry Frezta & Peach ice tea. All of them were good especially the berry freest as it gave a much needed refreshment to the start of the meal .
For starters, I ordered a dish called Ramiro Al Forno. It was basically crispy bell peppers with goat cheese, herbal leaves with some mushroom & a balsamic syrup glaze with the mushiness of goat cheese & mozzarella. Cheese lovers would totally dig this creation. On another note, the names of all the dishes were as they are all over the world, in Italian. Good to know they are not changing anything for an Indian audience.
The second starter was Polpette (Chicken meat balls in chicken Bolognese sauce) which had minced chicken & the meat balls. I was completely taken in by the hearty dish of meatballs doused in the gravy garnished with fresh parsley and served with warm dough sticks.The third starter I had was Dough balls Poppio which was made of basil pesto, pesto rosso & garlic butter. I found it to be decent but I must compliment the basil pesto. Their recipe is to die for and one of the most fresh and sublime tasting pestos in the city.
Then I had Penne Pollo Piccante pasta in white sauce as well as Red Pasta Penne Siciliana. I found it lacking in a flavour and also as I like my pasta to be well cooked, the al dente version did not suit my palette.Anyway people who enjoy al dente pasta might like these dishes. I also had Goat Cheese Salad. It was full of great goats cheese & many salad leaves and was nutritious and light.
Coming to the pizzas which were thin crust, very crispy and probably the best!!!
The veg pizzas I had were Padana which was made of goat’s cheese, spinach & caramelized onions. It was really yum. This name(padana) comes from a Valley in Italy. While I was eating, there were performances by the chefs which I enjoyed a lot as I was entertained as well while eating. The pizza chefs had amazing pizza tossing skills that kept me in raptures.
The other veg pizza was Pomodoro Pesto- This thin crust pizza is served on an authentic Italian Romana base. Each slice of Pomodoro Pesto topped with juicy marinated cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil turned out to be a melt-in-the-mouth heaven with flavours worth cherishing. This for me was the most spectacular dish of the night and I doubt there are many better pizzas in Delhi at the moment. I could com back just for this to Pizza Express again and again.
The last veg pizza was Cipolla Piccante which had onions, green chillis and jalapenos. It again had a great combination of flavours and was a hit among the fellow bloggers.
I also got to try some of their non-veg pizzas, the smokey chicken one called Pollo Ad Astra which was mixed with many fine ingredients & spices that I fell in love with the taste. The other non veg pizza was Pollo Forza which was okay and the third one was American pepperoni which was good. We had chilli & garlic oil on our tables to have it with the pizzas which made the pizza more delicious & juicy to taste. To conclude, their pizzas were too good to resist and as a combination maybe the best in town
For desserts, I had choco fudge cake with mascarpone cheese which was just amazing. Even the other desserts I had like the banoffee pie was irresistible. In fact you must never miss out on their cheesecake too as it is one of the best baked variety the I’ve had. Overall their pizzas and desserts make it a fine fine place to dine.
Overall I was impressed with the ambience, the hospitality, the quick service & the food above all. I would recommend this place highly to people who love variety & a touch of “Italiano” in their pizzas.Loved the team of the amazing chefs who never got tired of serving & performing. Hats off to them! I definitely want to come again to try the other yummy sounding stuff on the menu.

I went to Homeboy Industries for my birthday. I have always wanted to visit and because we were riding the rails that day, it was perfect. While waiting outside, Vance came up to me and asked me if I wanted a tour of Homeboy Industries. I couldn't believe it! So my buddies and I toured the facility lead by the charming Vance himself. It was amazing! The bakery was on site... and the fresh bread smelled so wonderful. We saw the classrooms where the ex-gang members can go to school and also take parenting classes or drug rehab classes. They offer free tattoo removal and we were able to se those offices as well. Vance told us that it felt like grease splashing on your skin. It was wonderful to see people turning their life around and then helping others turn their life around as well.
After the tour, Vance told his personal story. It was heartbreaking. Not one of us had a dry eye, including the men. We wept with him.
I have never been more honored to make a new friend. Vance changed how I view so many things. I think the main lesson I learned from Vance is that the past is in the past. We can learn from it, but we can't change it. We need to begin from now... from today.
To learn more about what Homeboy you can read Gregory Boyle's book Tattoos on the Heart.

WHAT TO TAKE
With 3 days to go until I leave for Lake Mungo I am starting to think about what to take.
This was a pic I took on a past journey. When I am a loaded and successful photographer sponsored by Toyota (hint hint) i might have a nice new shiny 4WD with roof racks and all sorts of flash sleeping gear. But for now I have to make do with the trusty golf (I love this car) to take me and my stuff.
One of the things about heading into the remote locations I do, is that accomodation is often miles from where I am. And of course we are shooting all night, so sleep occurs for a few hours in the morning (more on this later).
So I sleep in the Golf, I carry all of my gear, food and clothes in the Golf. I love this car. But it does mean I have to think about what I take. I have a lot of gear this trip. I have some new timelapse rigs, camera dollys, and will need to take lots of warm stuff as it will be FREEZING up at the lake.
I will be showing all of the gear I am taking in detail in a post. But I am starting to think about it tonight.
I am off to my studio in about an hour to see what I need, and will be bringing it home to sort.
Tonight I am also looking closely at the weather as it starts to get pretty accurate this close.
I am also considering leaving a day earlier than original, as I got some exciting news today about lake mungo that I will share later.
YEAH! I love the Ball of Light.

I never was a fan of makeup. On the contrary makeup has treatment me very well, since everyone thinks my make up is artist quality - uh the irony!!
After all, Irony is an insult conveyed in the form of a compliment :P
