Helena's original freckles had become almost completely nonexistent after head swaps to two different bodies, so I retouched them while I had the watercolor pencils and fine tipped brushes out. They look very pronounced in this closeup, but in actual size and normal lighting they are only faintly visible. For me, as far as freckles are concerned, the lighter the better, since they end up getting magnified and darkened tenfold in photographs. I want her looking sun-kissed, not polka-dotted or like she's got chicken pox!

THE NEW GLOBAL CONSUMER: DOING BUSINESS IN A DIGITAL ECONOMY
The digital economy is no longer part of the economy. It is the economy. How can traditional brick-and-mortar firms reinvent themselves, their supply chains, and their marketplaces to avoid the fate of brands once thought of as everlasting but which are now nonexistent? And how are new platforms – from e-commerce to shared services – rewriting the rules of the game? A conversation on how businesses can manage expectations for digitally empowered customers, and how technology is being used to enhance the customer experience.

I'm gobsmacked by several things here. First, the light was nonexistent. Yet the Sony A7RII performed extremely well at incredibly high ISO. Second, using knowledge developed around a digital Zone System, I knew precisely where I wanted the tonal values and was able to place them accordingly. Third, I am happy to confirm the dynamic range of the sensor extends usefully to below Zone 0 (Zone -2!), even at such high ISO settings. Fourth, 1950s German optics can do the trick. These images were made using a triplet wide angle. Who would design such a thing and make it work? Micro-contrast is something to be seen, otherwise you wouldn't believe it.

Comment: Few plants known to me are more difficult to be photographed in the field as Asperula purpurea. It is small, very tender and its flowers have not much more than 1 mm in diameter. Its leaves can be less than 1 cm long and only a fraction of mm wide. Apparently, when it grows on sunny places it is specially small and tender. So, it shakes restlessly even if there is no observable wind. At the same time only macro photography can show its details. Since it is widely branched in all directions one would need considerable depth of field for sharp pictures. This is of cause nonexistent with macro work. Also focus stacking technique cannot be used, because the plant is in motion all the time.
This South European plant growing also on Balkan Peninsula, Carpathians and Apennines originally belonged to Galium genus, but was later repositioned to Asperula genus. All Asperula species growing in Slovenia are beautiful; however this beauty requires to be admired with a hand lens.

They didn't speak any Russian, and my Tajik was almost nonexistent at that time, but I knew enough to realise that "Surat" meant "photograph". They posed in front of the sturdy Volga sedan which had been carrying us through the mountains.
such a horrbile picture. warping and distortions and nonexistent composition, but the point is i cleaned my room (first time in a while)! it still looks messy but its alot better than before... i can actually get from one side to another now (and my desk is cleared of papers, which is very nice).
lets see how long i can keep it like this...
the vignetting is supposed to draw attention away from the really crooked door upper door frame, but it doesnt do that great of a job. and i almost crashed my computer stitching together this panorama. which was kinda surprising
Vintage West Bend metal salt and pepper shakers. Pre-owned, well used and vintage 1950's. The graphics are faded on the pepper and almost nonexistent on the salt. There are lots of scratches and scuffs. The top is missing paint. The bottom reads West Bend Made in the USA. They measure approximately 4 inches high and 2.5 inches in diameter.
COTTON TEAL / COTTON PYGMY GOOSE :
Cotton Pygmy Goose or Cotton Teal (Nettapus coromandelianus) is a small perching duck which breeds in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Southeast Asia and south to northern Australia. Small examples are the smallest waterfowl on earth, at as little as 160 g (5.5 oz) and 26 cm (10.5 in). White predominates in this bird's plumage. Bill short, deep at base, and goose-like.
Male in breeding plumage is glossy blackish green crown, with white head, neck, and under parts; a prominent black collar and white wing-bar. Rounded head and short legs. In flight, the wings are green with a white band, making the male conspicuous even amongst the huge flying flocks of the Lesser Whistling Duck, which share the habitat. Female paler, without either black collar and only a narrow or nonexistent strip of white wing-bar. In non-breeding plumage (eclipse) male resembles female except for his white wing-bar. Flocks on water bodies (jheels), etc.

I keep telling Halo that he is wasting his time using his Steve McQueen Bullet hair gel and Cologne, after his morning shower to then come down on the a windy beach....But he takes no notice.....As he thinks it gives him the King Of Cool image.....Mind you....Molly not a lot better......With the amount of time she takes titivating in the bathroom those days.......Leaving me fuming waiting outside the bathroom door for my turn......And that is simply not true for Molly and Halo to say that I am worse than the whole CraZy Gang put together with the time I spend in the bathroom getting ready....(Apparantly making us late for the beach today).......As for my singing in the shower......Umm......I think perhaps it’s time we should change the subject you two .....And for me to show you how a real King Of Cool rides a surf board in style.....But first I think we will just wait awhile and see if the wild surf waves calm down a bit......What do you mean Halo that if the waves get any smaller they be nonexistent.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....
By believing passionately in that which does not exist, we create it. That which is nonexistent has not been sufficently desired.

Lots and lots of company this week — the trail is packed with section- and thru-hikers and the shelters are full every night! Plenty of trail magic too! Two days of hunger were narrowly avoided when a section-hiking friend gave me a lift to the grocery store after I shipped my food to a nonexistent shop in Port Clinton. And a day later, ran into a gang of dedicated day hikers on the Pinnacle ("best view on the AT in PA," they say) in the fog and rain. We could barely see the slippery rocks, much less the view, but they loaded me up with some much-appreciated snacks. Having fun so far! Wish you were here!

Intellectual property (IP) is a widely accepted engine for prosperity in middle-income and developing countries. However, IP enforcement is lax or nonexistent in many middle-income countries, hampering incentives for innovation and broad based economic growth. An improved IP regime is not only good for the United States and its allies, but also for economic development more broadly. Join us for a discussion with a panel of experts on the critical role of IP as a missing link in the development conversation, and how the United States should combine its development, diplomacy, and trade policies to promote positive changes in the IP regimes of middle income and developing countries.
The latest model. Lil started talking about it at lunch and the because of my gadget fetish (only partially justified by the excuse of a professional obligation to study, catalog, play with, buy, show-off, fiddle with, hack, talk on walks all manner of mobile technology), we looked at one at a small phone store. Lil then offered to take me to a nearby Vodaphone store to look into what I could get. Being a foreigner, my ability to own a slick Japanese phone is basically nonexistent, but perhaps there was something that could serve as a specimen from an otherworldly place. Before too long, I had managed to convince Lil to buy this particular model for herself!

Barbara Home Steward and Orin Good Fogle with Hermit Roy Ozmer on Pelican Key (now named Comer Key)
Robert Roy Ozmer (1899-1969) was perhaps the most literate of the Everglades hermits, a newspaperman, actor, sailor, and artisan among other previous careers. According to his widow, he read widely, had traveled extensively, and enjoyed a "keen mind." As the student-authors put it: "Roy Ozmer was a hermit not because he didn't like people but because of a personal problem." That problem was alcoholism. He had separated himself from his family and lived on the island in hopes of curing himself. "I've foregone society," he was quoted as saying, "but if the world wants to come out and share a cup of coffee or talk over a problem, it's all right with me." Several photographs show Ozmer with a jaunty beret; he left poems and drawings as well.
Roy Ozmer...has the public clamoring at his door

A daring Florida couple quit their jobs and sold all their worldly goods then moved into a 12'X14' hut (no electricity or plumbing) on a 3-acre island in the Gulf of Mexico to fulfill a dream: exploring The Ten Thousand Islands and Everglades by canoe -- covering 3,500 miles -- during their 30-month sojourn there, 1957-1960.
University of Florida, Class of 1952: Barbara Home Stewart (BA, Psychology) is featured with her husband Orin Good Fogle in the video Everglades Odyssey, which portrays the couple exploring the Everglades when development of that area was almost nonexistent.

i found this quote a little while ago and it has quickly become one of my favorites. it honestly sums up everything in life.
"nothing is original. steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. if you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. and don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. in any case, always remember what jean-luc godard said: 'it's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to.'"

Maine state capitol in Augusta. The only other time I've seen this building was way back in late summer 1996. The dome was green then. Coppery green, like the Statue of Liberty (as is given away in the collage picture of the capitol made of business cards posted here). It was recently repainted black, within the last few years.
It's a fairly straightforward and understated capitol which makes it enjoyable. The city of Augusta...an unusual place. A town of 20,000, there aren't many amenities here, and public transportation is nonexistent. I was incredibly lucky to get uber drivers, according to the one who drove me back to the bus station. Overall, Maine isn't a place to be if you aren't driving yourself around.

Between 1975 and 1983, tens of thousands of people went missing in Argentina’s “Dirty War.” The exact number of the tortured and murdered in state-sponsored detentions is impossible to determine due to the discreetness of the disappearances and disposal of the bodies. Free speech was nonexistent; the members of the media and press who spoke out frequently became part of the missing. It was in this environment of fear that street art became a public voice, and in the decades that followed it has continued to be part of an activist culture of art, especially in Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires. This week, filming started on a feature-length documentary called White Walls Say Nothing (Paredes blancas no dicen nada in Spanish) that aims to capture the history and contemporary vibrance of Argentine street art.
Vandalism, even tagging, is rarely prosecuted in Buenos Aires, and street artists paint out in the open. Home and business owners regularly allow their buildings to be covered in murals and street art, an openness that goes back to the time of economic and political downturn in the early 2000s, a time where just two weeks saw five different presidents. Street artists tried to add some life and happiness to the city with their work, and many in the city embraced it as the return of their free speech.
Beeville, Texas
Bee County was created in 1857 from parts of five neighboring counties. The first county seat was located seven miles east of this site, and the first commissioners court was held on the banks of Medio Creek in February 1858. The city's earliest courthouse consisted of a box frame structure. In 1912, local architect W. C. Stephenson designed this, the county's fourth courthouse. A native of Buffalo, New York, Stephenson aided in the design of the death mask of President William McKinley. He was the architect of several Beeville buildings, including the Rialto Theater, two churches and several houses, and later designed the Classical Revival McMullen County courthouse. W. C. Whitney, builder of three other Texas courthouses, contracted to build the Bee County courthouse for $72,050. Whitney died during construction and W. C. Stephenson's partner, Fritz Heldenfels, completed the project. Stephenson drew upon the strong contemporary influence of the French Beaux Arts School with a level of grandeur previously nonexistent in Bee County. Some original Beaux Arts features such as the cast stone balustrade originally outlining the roof were later removed, and the 1943 addition partially obscured the symmetrical plan and façade of the edifice. The Bee County courthouse is a fine example of the Classical Revival style. Of particular significance are the grand portico and projecting pediment entry with Corinthian columns and dentils along the roofline. The Chicago-style windows, comprised of one glass pane flanked by two narrower ones, with transoms above, are noteworthy. Also unusual is Stephenson's lady of justice; unlike most such symbols, she is not depicted as blind. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 2000
Originally built between 1793 and 1797 during the Second Spanish Period, this Spanish Colonial and Neoclassical-style cathedral is the fourth church to occupy a prominent position at the heart of the city of St. Augustine. The original church, built of flammable materials, stood from 1565 until 1586, when it was burned during an attack by English Privateer Sir Francis Drake. Not even a year later, the church was rebuilt of palm logs, with a straw roof, which succumbed to fire in 1599. In 1605, thanks to a tithe from Spain, a timber church was constructed, which stood until a failed English attack on the city in 1702 by James Moore, then-governor of Carolina colony. There were attempts to rebuild the church during the First Spanish Period, starting in 1707, but these went nowhere, and the money intended for the church’s reconstruction were misallocated by corrupt officials. Instead, during the remainder of the First Spanish Period, mass was held in the St. Augustine Hospital. Following the transfer of governance of Florida to the British in 1763, the need for a new Catholic church was nonexistent, as the catholic population of the colony fled to other Spanish colonies. At the start of the Second Spanish Period in 1784, the need for a new church became more apparent, and work on the current cathedral’s Coquina stone walls began in 1793. The facade of the church features Neoclassical elements around the front doorway, with the Spanish Colonial style being employed on the roofline and limited fenestration on the front facade. The church stood in its original configuration until a fire in 1887 destroyed the timber roof structure and did major damage to the interior. Following the fire, Henry Flagler led the effort to have the cathedral rebuilt, with James Renwick, Jr. designing an expansion of the old building, giving it a rectangular cruciform layout, and adding the Spanish Renaissance-style bell tower and European-style transept to the building. The interior was rebuilt to feature exposed decorative timbers that supported the roof structure, and a decorative polychromatic tile floor. The building has since received a few more additions, which house a chapel, service areas, and offices, as well as a building to the rear of the cathedral along Treasury Street, built in the Mediterranean Revival style, which houses the offices of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Today, the cathedral remains a prominent landmark in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and listed as a National Historic Landmark as part of the St. Augustine Town Plan Historic District in 1970.

This Wi-Fi unit integrates a wireless access point and access gateway functionality into a single, affordable unit. Installation and maintenance of a single unit are dramatically simpler, allowing quick deployment of hot spot service. This is ideal for the small business owner as well as for the service provider provisioning multiple distributed, small venue locations.
According to Wikipedia, MissingNo. (けつばん Ketsuban?), or MissingNO,[1] is a Pokémon species found in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue.
Standing for "Missing Number", MissingNo. Pokémon are used as error handlers by game developer Game Freak; they appear when the game attempts to access data for a nonexistent Pokémon species. Due to the programming of three in-game events, players can encounter MissingNo. via a glitch. The species was first documented by Nintendo in the May 1999 issue of Nintendo Power.

Sí, yo verdaderamente te mantendré firmemente asido con mi diestra de justicia’. 11 ”¡Mira! Todos los que se acaloran contra ti se avergonzarán y serán humillados. Los hombres que tienen una riña contigo llegarán a ser como nada, y perecerán. 12 Los buscarás, pero no los hallarás, a aquellos hombres que están en una lucha contigo. Llegarán a ser como algo inexistente y como nada, aquellos hombres que están en guerra contra ti. 13 Porque yo, Jehová tu Dios, tengo agarrada tu diestra, Aquel que te dice: ‘No tengas miedo.

Though personalized art appeared during World War I, and occasionally grew to incorporate the entire aircraft, most pilots carried a saying or a slogan, or a family crest, or squadron symbol. Some were named, but nose art was not common. During World War II, nose art not only saw its true beginnings, but its heyday.
No one knows exactly who started nose art first--it appeared with both the British and the Germans around the first time, with RAF pilots painting Hitler being kicked or skulls and crossbones on their aircraft, while German nose art was usually a personal symbol, named for a girlfriend or adopting a mascot (such as Adolf Galland using Mickey Mouse, something Walt Disney likely didn't approve of). It would be with the Americans, and a lesser extent the Canadians, that nose art truly became common--and started including its most famous forms, which was usually half-naked or completely naked women. This was not always true, but it often was.
The quality of nose art depended on the squadron or wing artist. Some of it was rather crude, while others were equal to the finest pinup artists in the United States, such as Alberto Vargas. For men thousands of miles away from home and lonely, a curvaceous blonde on a B-17 or a P-51 made that loneliness a bit easier. Others thought naked women were a little crude, and just limited themselves to names, or depicted animals, cartoon characters, or patriotic emblems, or caricatures of the Axis dictators they were fighting.
Generally speaking, there was little censorship, with squadron and group commanders rarely intervening on names or pictures; the pilots themselves practiced self-censorship, with profanity almost unknown, and full-frontal nudity nearly nonexistent. After the loss of a B-17 named "Murder Inc.," which the Germans captured and used to make propaganda, the 8th Air Force, at least, set up a nose art committee that reviewed the nose art of aircraft--but even it rarely wielded its veto. For the most part, nose art was limited only by the crew's imagination and the artist's ability. The British tended to stay away from the lurid nudes of the Americans, though the Canadians adopted them as well. (The Axis also did not use nose art in this fashion, and neither did the Soviets, who usually confined themselves to patriotic slogans on their aircraft, such as "For Stalin!" or "In the Spirit of the Motherland!")
When World War II ended, so did nose art, for the most part. In the peacetime, postwar armed forces, the idea of having naked women were wives and children could see it was not something the postwar USAF or Navy wanted, and when it wasn't scrapped, it was painted over. A few units (especially those away from home and family) still allowed it, but it would take Korea to begin a renaissance of nose art.
This is not the real "Memphis Belle," as the little notation to the right of the name shows--this it "The Movie" Belle. This aircraft is actually 44-83546, a B-17G delivered just too late to see World War II service. After serving in the postwar USAF as a VB-17G executive aircraft and for several decades as a firefighting aircraft, 44-83546 was restored to a wartime B-17F in 1984 and painted as the Belle in 1989 for the movie, "Memphis Belle." It has worn these colors ever since.
Because the real Belle's name (which was in block letters) would be too small for a camera aircraft to see, for the movie, the name was larger and used a more fanciful script. Other than that, the markings are identical to the real Belle. The original pilot, Captain Robert Morgan, named the aircraft for his girlfriend back home, and got the permission of the original pinup artist, George Petty, to use one of his pinup girls as the Belle's nose art. (Her dress is different colors on the port and starboard side of the aircraft on both the real Belle and this one--red for port, blue for starboard.)
44-83546 currently calls the Palm Springs Air Museum home, as it is getting some maintenance done. As a result, I was finally able to see one of my favorite movie aircraft in 2025.

THE NEW GLOBAL CONSUMER: DOING BUSINESS IN A DIGITAL ECONOMY
The digital economy is no longer part of the economy. It is the economy. How can traditional brick-and-mortar firms reinvent themselves, their supply chains, and their marketplaces to avoid the fate of brands once thought of as everlasting but which are now nonexistent? And how are new platforms – from e-commerce to shared services – rewriting the rules of the game? A conversation on how businesses can manage expectations for digitally empowered customers, and how technology is being used to enhance the customer experience.

Susan Hollins, superintendent of Greenfield Massachusetts Schools, talked about how she stepped into a district where much of the staff had resigned, many teachers were fired, and a working budget was nonexistent. Now her district is recognized as a leader of innovation in Massachusetts.
this photo kind of reminds me of that episode of buffy ('that episode of buffy', i say, as if i don't know the title - out of mind out of sight, or something. pathetic.) where clea duvall is so disenfranchised she becomes invisible. AKIRA, WE'D PAY MORE ATTENTION TO YOU IF YOU DIDN'T RUN AWAY IN THE FACE OF NONEXISTENT DANGER!
Mendon Ponds Park is owned and very poorly maintained by the County of Monroe, NY.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary property is rapidly deteriorating due to an egregious lack of care. Trails are not cleared of debris... signs are useless. Park maintenance is essentially nonexistent. They do have a marketing department. Seriously, the taxpayers are paying the salaries of a county parks marketing department.

This was one of the first shots that I took with the newly-acquired Crown Graphic 4×5. I think it was my third. I wanted something wide open, but when I reached for the 90mm lens, it was far too wide. With the 127mm, and a few steps closer, I got the framing I wanted.
Since I’m still new to the large format game, I wasn’t sure what the depth of field would be like. And though the Crown as some slight movements, I left everything as it was, deciding to keep the camera about two and a half feet off the ground. This, I hoped, would allow the grasses below to blur a bit. I was not wrong.
Helping in this matter was the swale that house sits within and the rise that I was on. The ground slopes gently away from the camera only to slide quickly away after twenty or so feet. This gives the ground beyond the house a more distant feel. This, combined with the nearness of the foreground, allows the house to float somewhere in between.
I’ve shot this same house from eye-level before, and the effect was nonexistent.
Of course, the great regret is the light/dark line just above the house. That is from using the “taco method” for stand developing. This is apparently why you don’t do this. It might work fine for normal developing times, but for sixty minute stand, don’t bother.

Lens: 127mm f/4.7 Rodenstock Ysarex

Ok first impressions -- at F2.8 it does better than most, with a little softness mostly around the corners. (The DA* 50-135mm F2.8 was sharper at F2.8 but everything else still applies to that lens as well)
The SDM is quieter than the canon USM that I've heard -- with my ear pressed to the lens I could barely hear it!! Its not as fast as I had expected, certainly less hunting than the normal AF but in bright sunlight I'm sure its plenty fast.
By F5.6 this lens is razor sharp, as to be expected. Chromatic aberration is almost nonexistent!
Processed with lightroom defaults and no post processing whatsoever
Of course, both lenses are fully weather sealed
