Revisiting a gal and outfit I got quite a long time ago but never really photographed on her own…. So it was time she got her due! My pale blonde side-glancing Living Barbie from 1970. She came from her original owner who got her as a present back in Christmas 1970, played with her once and then packed her away for decades…. Hence, she is pretty much unplayed-with and best of all, the owner let me have her and her minty Live Action Ken, both with their complete and mint outfits, for about $20 AUD each! (About $14 USD). Around the same time, I finally nabbed an outfit I have wanted ever since I started collecting: - The funky ‘Wild ‘N’ Wintery’ from 1971. I had already photographed it years ago when I first got it, on my Barbie with Growin’ Pretty Hair, (who wore it in her TV ad,) but I thought it matched this gal’s personality a little better. The wonderful old-school detailing was still there, even with pink stockings hidden underneath those wild thigh-high ‘crocodile’ boots, (Love the matching white ‘croc’ belt!) She’s exploring my backyard on a crisp Autumn day.

Y al verte quiso gritar, y no pudo mas que susurrar palabras sin razón. Rompió su corazón, lamentando pensar que nunca volverá, que nunca ha estado allí, que todas las promesas que hizo no eran de verdad...
Nunca, nunca, nunca... ¿nunca digas nunca? Pues el nunca existe...

I took this after noticing the nice but fleeting color in the sky. It quickly became an experiment in how long I could do handheld shots with the 18-200VR Nikkor without blur... about 1/2s as it turns out.
The term Rock n Roll may simply mean a type of music to you but the original slang term had strong sexual overtones. In the same way so does this plant, my Akebia quinata or chocolate vine.
Take for 113 Pictures in 2013 #56 Rock n Roll.
I try to grow in my garden as many as possible plants which have edible fruits, Akebia quinata was the choice to climb around my trellis, two varieties as needed to fertilise the flowers. The flower clusters are much smaller than I thought, barely the size of my fingernails, yet the seedpods can grow four inches long. When ripe they split open to reveal a sticky gel which looks like tapioca and tastes like melon - not to everyone's taste but one day when food is scarce people will be glad of it. In poor countries these plants thrive and take over like blackberries here, a poor child's sweets. I just hope I can keep it under control!

N-Wing Starfighter
A collaborative design project
The culmination or round 2!
Last summer, after many trips to the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Elliot started to become an expert on space and was particularly interested in the Apollo Missions. We watched Apollo 13 (he had no fear of the space mission, he was most worried about Ken Mattingly getting the "weasels" and Marylin Lovell dropping her ring down the drain). In October we went to the Lego store and picked up a copy of the Saturn V to build together. The skin of the rocket is a fairly repetitive build so he was able to mirror what I was doing. It was one of the first sets we truly built together.
A few weeks later he was playing with the set in his room during "family rest time" and when we opened the door the entire rocket was in pieces! "They had some problems dad, but you can fix it because you're a Lego expert". I did not want to do that, so I told him we would do something else with the parts.
When we started to do his middle name for the alphabet starfighters I realized N for NASA would be a wonderful match. I wanted a way for the ship to look like a rocket, but still open into an "N" shape. Most of the parts in this build are from the Saturn V set, but I also used the 2 x 2 x 5 Lattice Pillars from my old 1682-1 Space Shuttle Launch set from 1990. When I finished the build the mechanics worked perfectly, but I realized I needed a way for the ship to stay in a closed position - magnets!
This is my favorite ship from the "Grayson" series because of the combined use of Lego Space elements across generations.
One cold weekend afternoon, I was looking for something to do with my three year old in the house. We went to our Lego room, "What do you want to build?", "A spaceship," Star Wars obsessive Elliot answered, "an E-Wing!" I knew that the Lego fan site From Bricks to Bothans held a letter based starfighter contest years before, but I was willing to give it our own try.
During the build I developed our own set of self imposed RULES:
1. The ship has to be in the shape of the letter
2. It must be strong enough for a three year old to play with it without breaking
3. The primary color and cockpit location are chosen by Elliot
4. Any piece Elliot finds (that matches the color scheme) MUST be incorporated into the build
5. What Elliot says, goes. So if he wants a play feature or design element, I had find a way to make it happen
As the project progressed the builds became more and more complex and the rules became more flexible. We finished the letters of Elliot's first name and then he wanted his middle name. During the second set of letters I tried to incorporate more complex play features.
These creations sit in display in his room and he loves playing with them and creating self invented narratives and worlds. Working with him helped stretch my skills and introduced him into the process of design.
All 13 of these ships were on public display at Brickworld Chicago 2019. Please let me know if you saw them there and what you thought!

Sun's reflection contrasting with the dark water of the pond, creating a diametric background for the water lily. Eliminating other reflections on the water with the CP, as well as a sight UE, resulted in an almost total darkening of the water, except for the reflection of the intense sun.
