You may think this is a modern day pixie or hobbit, but my mate Mark is actually well over 6 ft (182 cm+) tall. The tree however is around 400 years old.
1990s, up to '95 I guess. Very nice coupe, probably 5.0 L, Ford Thunderbird cousin. Amazing dashboard, too.

In early 2002, in a justified act of revenge, I stole my friend Andrea Zink's bra. You know, that fleshy, beige-coloured bra all girls own for under white or sheer tops.
I began a campaign to photograph as many friends, acquaintances and even family in the bra. Then I sent the photos to people I knew around the globe with as a postcard template which they printed out and mailed back to Andrea, convincing her that her bra was on a walkabout around the world—torturing her from each locale.
Andrea hated it. One day, figuring I must've been the cause of all this, she marched into my office and threw a particular postcard (#002 to be precise) at my head and yelled "Make it stop!"
I did not.
Well...here she is :))
Arrived yesterday by UPS, just one day from payment to devilary from Pixmania-Pro.

A more robust version of the recon bike reserved only for commander-in-chief personnel and the like. Contrary to the Recon bike, this craft has more fighting capability and a far more powerful engine.
The role of this craft in the field of battle was merely one of transportation, providing a confortable seat and a good defense should the need of it arise.
The extra exhaust vents allowed for a greater air circulation, increasing the combustion rate process thereby increasing speed.
No need to say that only a handful were ever introduced into HUN forces. The biggest exception being made to the Double-Axe, by request of Commodore Wulf, which had almost twenty of these bikes on board.
Needless to say, Twist managed to wreck a couple of them under the excuse, "I needed to know how they worked!"
I first noticed him ahead of me on the escalator exiting the subway and ending in the atrium of the shopping center. All I could see was the edge of his beard and his cape but I noticed how connected he seemed with his surroundings. While many travel about the city in a stupor or daydreaming, he seemed very aware and interested on his trip to the surface. I decided to approach him for my project and when I caught his attention from behind I realized what a truly excellent portrait subject he would be, with his dramatically curly, silver beard. His response was an immediate friendly smile, not a startle reaction and he said “Sure. I’d be glad to.” Meet Mark.
Mark seemed a bit surprised that with all the open space of the atrium, I was suggesting we go to a corner near windows where there would be more natural light. I gave him my contact card and showed him samples of my project photos and he quickly processed the information and put down his bag and umbrella on the nearby ledge. “No problem” was his attitude. He smilingly told me that he gets asked for photos fairly often. I’m not surprised.
Mark was very agreeable as I positioned him and took a few portraits and at one point he slipped into a pose of looking at the camera looking a bit mysterious. He told me his hashtag is streetwizard. I laughed and said I could see why. I finished with a photo from a distance to show his great look and he obligingly held his cape open to show the crystal hanging around his neck. (It sure helps when the stranger you meet is a professional model!) “Do you always dress like this?” was my question. “Oh, like this and worse!” was his amusing, self-deprecating reply. “I do my own thing and like to think that I set an example for others to go out in public with their own unique look.” I told him that his was certainly a great look and he said he likes being a Wizard because Wizards are safe. They will never hurt you.”
I shouldn’t have been surprised when I learned that Mark is an actor and model. Born in Toronto, he was on his way to an audition. I noticed on his bio that he has been on some very popular shows (including Hawthorne, JAG, 24, and Criminal Minds) and does a wide variety of modeling work. I said I hoped I wasn’t making him late for his audition and he said “No, I’m still ok. I won’t get the part anyway; I can see it’s not for me – but I like the experience of auditions and I enjoy meeting people.” He double-checked that I had gotten what I needed in the way of photos. Clearly, he would have given me a bit more of his time if needed. He’s clearly a busy, successful guy and said he had a nonprofit event he was going to after the audition and had a modelling session later in the afternoon.
Mark’s advice to his younger self was “You can’t save face and your ass at the same time.” When I asked about interests outside of acting he said “Telling the truth. I love the truth and I love telling the truth.” Mark expressed real interest in my Human Family project and thanked me for including him. I thanked him for taking the time and said it was a pleasure having met him. I offered to send him a copy of the photos as a thank you, then caught myself and said “Oh, what am I saying? As a model and actor you probably have hundreds of profession portraits.” He waved my comment aside and said “No, I’m very interested in what you’re doing and would love to have copies.” He did, in fact, write me an email later in the day. It said "Thank you so much for stopping to interview me. You are a fellow magical inspiration." It went on to state "I fully release the rights and ownership of the images taken at Toronto Eaton Centre on this day 2019-01-30 to you." I mean how nice is that?
I have never met a Wizard before, but I was struck by Mark’s response to my project request. He was confident, warm, interested, and I had the feeling I had met a man who was very comfortable in his own skin. And that’s not even touching on his magical powers!

Mark Rietmeijer, sculptor and friend. Three weeks ago a new block of marble arrived in his studio. I decided to make pictures of the creation of his new work of art.
So from now on I'll upload pictures on a regular base, showing the process of creation.

Venice now has flood barriers in the lagoon to protect it from surge flooding. However normal high tides can still produce less severe flooding and St Marks being at the lowest point on the island is very subject to it . The water table is very high here anyway and the water rises from the drains. So a project to do something about it was started which involves replacing drains and creating tunnels and tanks to store water temporarily so keeping the surface of the square dry. That involves taking up many of the historic flagstones , numbering and replacing them in the same spot once the ground works were complete.
