*******************
This was taken on the southeast corner of Broadway & 96th Street, during the "golden hour" between 6-8 PM a few evenings ago, when the sun drops down over the western horizon and casts its glow up 96th Street…
Crowds of people swirl up and down the street all evening along, and then wait at the corner of 96th Street for the light to change -- so they can cross over to the median strip between the uptown and downtown lanes of Broadway, and then walk into the subway stop of the #1 IRT subway line.
Of all the people in the swirl, I noticed this mop-haired person with the blue shirt and the unruly hair … and I snapped photo after photo after photo as both of them stood on the corner and talked intensely for several minutes.
The traffic light changed, but they didn't walk towards me at all, into the subway station. Instead, they moved even closer and closer and closer to one another ... they kissed, and then they walked away -- one of them heading north across 96th Street, and the other turning east, and walking up the hill towards Amsterdam Avenue.
I'll leave it to you to figure out what was really going on here. I have to admit that I didn't understand it at the time … but one of the other photos that I took (and which I will not be uploading to Flickr) explained the details to me.
By the way, that is not my reflection in the window behind the two subjects of this photo. For photos like this, I am -- and always want to be -- invisible and anonymous.
**********************
Over the past several years, I've grown so accustomed to the "automatic" features in my cameras that I've almost completely forgotten how to do anything manually. I think it was the early 1990s when auto-focus mechanisms began to creep into the point-and-shoot cameras that I used to record birthday parties and other family events; and virtually every DSLR camera I've had provides an "automatic-everything" mode that combines autofocus, auto-aperture, auto-shutter-speed, and even auto-ISO auto-white-balance. Most of the time, it works just fine; and it allows me concentrate on figuring out who (or what) I want to include in the picture. For street photography, that's a full-time job in itself.
But sometimes it doesn't work so well; and sometimes, the photographer wants to override what the camera would do by itself. For example, I normally shoot in "aperture-priority" mode, which means that I'm the one who sets the f-stop; and I'll typically set the ISO (speed), and just let the camera figure out what the appropriate shutter speed would be. That generally works pretty well, especially if I've set the aperture to something like f/8 or f/11 in order to get a reasonably deep depth-of-field (DOF), which results in almost everything being in-focus.
Lately, though, I've been getting more and more obsessed with photos that have a shallow DOF, so that the subject of the photo is in sharp focus, but the background is blurred. Aside from a "prime" 50mm f/1.4 lens that I don't use very much, most of my lenses only "open up" to a f/5.6 aperture ... but sometimes even that is enough to cause some problems if I let the camera do its auto-focus thing. Sometimes the camera decides to focus on something other than the subject that I'm interested in; sometimes it bases its focusing decision on an "average" of everything in the frame; and sometimes it gets so utterly confused that it focuses on nothing at all.
So I decided to spend one evening (when I could take advantage of the "golden hour" sunset lighting) reverting back to manual focusing to see if I could force the camera to focus on what *I* wanted to focus on. Bottom line: it works okay if the subject(s) is/are stationary, and you've got a couple seconds to adjust the focus appropriately. But if the subject(s) is/are in motion, as is often the case with street photography, then it's a disaster. By the time I took this shot, I had given up on the whole manual-focus thing, and switched back to auto-focus. However, I chose a particular form of auto-focus that instructed the camera to base its focusing decision on a very small circular section in the middle of the frame ... and not to worry about anything else. It wasn't quite so crucial on this photo, because my aperture somehow ended up at f/6.3 ... but the camera did focus properly, and the background is just slightly blurred.
Now, if I can just find an affordable f/2.8 telephoto lens that doesn't weigh a ton, it will be interesting to see how this manual-focus/spot-focus thing works out...
The chantry chapel of King Henry V (d.1422) encloses the eastern end of the Confessor's chapel and the lower part of the apse, forming an upper and lower structure that curiously straddles the ambulatory behind. The lower part contains the tomb of the King (his wooden effigy long since stripped of its original silver adornments around the time of the Reformation and had to wait till 1971 to recieve a new head) while above is a chapel (inaccessible to visitors) which retains most of its original medieval statuary (which again is frustratingly difficult to see in detail).

Westminster Abbey is perhaps the most significant church in English History, site of the coronation of monarchs since it was founded by Edward the Confessor, and burial place of the majority of them, along with many other historical figures of note. It is first and foremost a superlative work of medieval architecture, from its soaring 13th-14th century nave, transepts and choir (all in a curiously French inspired version of Decorated Gothic) to the masterpiece of English Perpendicular, the incredibly lacy fan-vaulted Henry VII's chapel at the east end.
The Abbey is also a treasure house of ecclesiastical art, most of it monumental sculpture on the numerous tombs and effigies of almost every date ranging from the entire medieval period through to the 20th century; a somewhat cluttered interior, crammed full of interest, there is simply nothing else quite like it, no other church contains so many monuments.
The Abbey's monastic ranges partially survive, most notably the cloisters and superb chapter house; a short summary of the Abbey's riches is simply impossible. The monastery itself was shut down during the Dissolution, after which the Abbey briefly became a cathedral until its diocesan rank was revoked merely a decade later. Today it is designated a 'Royal Peculiar' owing to its unique status.
The Abbey is a textbook in stone of British history, and thus a hugely popular tourist attraction. It currently has more limited opening hours in the post-Covid recovery period and entry is not cheap, but happily after decades of a strict prohibition against photographers the rules have now been relaxed at last and visitors are now welcome to fully enjoy this marvellous building with their cameras!

Wearing vintage sweater with lace collar, conducting research and drinking tea.
the plane, a 737 was spotless inside. Not a mark, on surfaces or fabric (compared to somewhat shabby marks and wear and tear on US airline interiors). Not one dead trapped insect stuck in a windowed coffin between the inside and outside window of your seat (look next time, and how DO they get there to begin with).
Soon after takeoff we bank to the right to head south across the coast of sydney and the state of new south wales (NSW), over canberra (the national capitol area) into melbourne in the state of Victoria (VIC).
"Afternoon refreshments" in economy class said the announcement once in the air. Wow. Complementary wine and beer (mixed drinks A$6). Ignoring the fact the beer includes Fosters things were good. The "snacks" provided were good too. A joint packet of cashews and apricot. Large portions. Good quality. As the ingredients list, contents 100% cashews. Yum.
Cabin staff, in economy, smiles, friendly, want to help clearly.
Also walked around offering apples as snacks. Good apples. In a huge basket that must have had about 30 apples in it. I wanted to take a picture but I was laughing at the sight.
I LOVE the orange tablemat thing they give out too. It's a perforated nice-feel absorbant material. Its a tablemat. It's also a bag for trash afterwards so as they walk through doing pickup it takes seconds. It's also a napkin. It's a great tablematnapkinbag idea.
It also contains inside a wetwipe and stirrer for drinks that's twice the size/length of the US ones.
Sunsets. I've noticed the sunrises and sunsets occur very quickly here. Like within 15 mins and it's suddenly light, or dark. Must be the hemisphere and season (last week of winter). It's chilly enough at night i had to go buy a coat. My fault for thinking australia, sunny, its august, it will be hot.
Flight time 90 mins. Sydney to Melbourne. Quantas CityFlyer. $
Airport. Terminal 3 sydney. Bigger than National (DCA). Quieter but I realised its the people who go about their airporty stuff with less of a presence or noise. Folks just a few seats away on a cellphone have what appears to be a habit of covering their mouth with their other hand so their calls are not public (and hence quieter). A full flight doesn't have a gate boarding seat area where there are no free seats. Even the gate agent counter area is turned 90 degrees from the US standard so folks queueing are lining up in the area not out into the corridor. Terminal 3 is dedicated to quantas domestic flights. From arriving to boarding was never asked for any photo id. Why does showing some form of unverifable photo id help us with flights in the US?
New Zealand Maori queen laid to rest today. Queen Te Atairangikaahu (Dame Te Ata) reigned for 40 years, lacking any constitutional powers but beloved of the NZ nation. Before europeans arrived the Maori were ruled by many chiefs, their monarchy only came about after contact with the British. New Zealand - originally Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud - was not colonised by the British in the way Australia was.
The natives, descendants of the Polynesians, often reacted violently to foreign visitors, begining with Abel Tasman in 1642. Captain Cook took possession of the islands for Britain in 1769 - without consulting the natives. The presence of the fierce Maori menat the British preferred and went off to colonise Australia instead.
But foreigners were drawn to New Zealand. British, French and American ships began making regular visits. Mostly whalers, seal hunters and traders. The Maori became part of their trading network and acquired tastes for european and american goods and a knowledge of Pakeha - non-Maori culture.
By 1830's foreign settlers were buying large amounts of land and the numbers of Pakeha had increased to such a point that the British goverment decided to annex New Zealand. Naval officer Hobson negotiated and they agreed to cede sovereignty to the British in exchange for a guarantee of ownership of their lands. Formalized by the Treaty of Waitangi of 1840. Initially NZ was part of the colony of New South Wales but in 1841 because autonomous (with Hobson as Governor).
By 1845 open warfare ensued from chiefs. By 1847 and the First Maori War they realised better to have a consolidated approach. They sought to emulate the unity and disciple of the british and so started the Maori King Movement.
For the first time in 1966 a princess was chosen to ascend the throne and Queen Te Ata became a symbol not only of her people but for NZ women. Long may she rest.

Juvenile bird (note yellow cere).
Kea – Nestor notabilis (family Strigopidae)
A protected rare species of alpine parrot endemic to New Zealand.
Found in forested and alpine regions of the South Island.
Little is known about their population except that it seems to be in decline (c. 5000 birds).
The Kea was once killed for bounty as it occasionally preyed on livestock, especially sheep. It is now known that only a few kea learn this trick and most kea seen on dead sheep are scavanging an already dead carcass.
It only received full protection in 1986.
Kea nest in burrows or crevices among the roots of trees. They are regarded as one of the most intelligent birds in the world, and for their insatiable curiosity, both vital to their survival in a harsh mountain environment. Kea can solve logical puzzles, such as pushing and pulling things in a certain order to get to food, and will work together to achieve a certain objective.
The Kea is a large parrot about 48 cm (19 in) long and weighing about 1 kg (2.2 lb). It has mostly olive-green plumage with a grey beak having a long narrow curved upper beak. The adult has dark-brown irises, and the cere, eyerings, and legs are grey. It has orange feathers on the undersides of its wings. The feathers on the sides of its face are dark olive-brown, feathers on its back and rump are orange-red, and some of the outer wing feathers are dull-blue. It has a short and broad bluish-green tail with a black tip. Feather shafts project at the tip of the tail and the undersides of the inner tail feathers have yellow-orange transverse stripes. The male is about 5% longer than the female, and the male's upper beak is 12–14% longer than the female's. Juveniles generally resemble adults, but have yellow eyerings and cere, an orange-yellow lower beak, and grey-yellow legs. Kea range from lowland river valleys and coastal forests of the westcoast up to the alpine regions of the South Island such as Arthur's Pass and Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, closely associated throughout its range with the southern beech (Nothofagus) forests in the alpine ridge. Apart from occasional vagrants, Kea are not found in the North Island, although fossil evidence suggests a population lived there over 10,000 years ago. The population was estimated at between 1,000 and 5,000 individuals in 1986, contrasting with another estimate of 15,000 birds in 1992. Both estimates depend heavily upon the assumptions made. The Kea's widespread distribution at low density across inaccessible areas prevents accurate estimates. Their notorious urge to explore and manipulate, combined with strong attraction to anything new or different in their environment makes this bird a pest for residents and an attraction for tourists. Called "the clown of the mountains", it will investigate backpacks, boots or even cars, often causing damage or flying off with smaller items. People commonly encounter wild Kea at South Island ski areas. The Kea are attracted by the prospect of food scraps. Their curiosity leads them to peck and carry away unguarded items of clothing or to pry apart rubber parts of cars—to the entertainment and annoyance of human observers. They are often described as "cheeky". A Kea has even been reported to have made off with a Scottish man's passport while he was visiting Fiordland, and theft of car keys, leaving tourists stranded, is a story that has passed into legend.
Mortality is high among young Kea, with less than 40% surviving their first year. The median lifespan of a wild subadult Kea has been estimated at 5 years, based on the proportion of Kea seen again in successive seasons in Arthur's Pass, and allowing for some emigration to surrounding areas. Around 10% of the local Kea population were expected to be over 20 years of age. The oldest known captive Kea was 50 years old in 2008. At least one observer has reported that the Kea is polygynous, with one male attached to multiple females. The same source noted that there was a surplus of females. Kea are social and live in groups of up to 13 birds. Isolated individuals do badly in captivity but respond well to mirror images. In one study, nest sites occur at a density of 1 per 4.4 km². The breeding areas are most commonly in Southern Beech (Nothofagus) forests, located on steep mountain sides. Breeding at heights of 1600 m above sea level and higher, it is one of the few parrot species in the world to regularly spend time above tree line. Nest sites are usually positioned on the ground underneath large beech trees, in rock crevices or dug burrows between roots. They are accessed by tunnels leading back 1 m to 6 m into a larger chamber, which is furnished with lichens, moss, ferns and rotting wood. The laying period starts in July and reaches into January. Two to five white eggs are laid, with an incubation time of around 21 days, and a brooding period of 94 days. An omnivore, the Kea feeds on more than 40 plant species beetle larva, other birds (including shearwater chicks) and mammals (including sheep and rabbits). It has been observed breaking open shearwater nests to feed on the chicks after hearing the chicks in their nests. The Kea is classed as Nationally Endangered in the New Zealand Threat Classification System and Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List.

The Sewing Time Machine: A blouse named 'Secretary001'
The Sewing Time MachineWednesday, January 27, 2010A blouse named 'Secretary001'Here is my next project, or the inspiration for my next project. I'm no expert on the matter but this reminds me of a 40's pencil pushing office blouse, which is why I named it Secretary001.It looks to me like all the control has been shifted into side darts which were then gathered into the side seams. The sleeve looks like a very short kimono or dolman. Anyways, I got to work on the PatternMaster and this is my first muslin.
I'm not happy because I look like a bag lady!
So I learned that when zero waist darts are selected, the slack is not picked up anywhere else - not in the side seam and not in other darts. I'll have to manually shift all the control into the side dart. And that will be my second muslin....Posted by Marie-Anne at 6:28 PMLabels: blouse, fitting, PatternMaster Boutique0 comments:Post a CommentNewer Post Older Post HomeSubscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)PagesHomeAbout MeMarie-AnneWhen I'm not cleaning, cooking, or working, I'm going back in time....with my sewing machine!View my complete profileThis WeekChris' jacket is lined and it looks great.

So yesterday when it was time to go to school, Jessie was busy doing something and I told her to stop or we would be late. In a nutshell, I upset her.
This morning while having breakfast, she handed me this note and said she was sorry. She then proceeded to bury her face in her hands, ran to her room and cried her eyes out. From what I gather from reading her note, she went to school yesterday and thought to herself that I was stupid (that's the s word) and that she hated me. I guess the guilt overwhelmed her. Jane said she came home from school last night and told her about it while she cried her eyes out to her. She really has a guilty conscience.
So I went up stairs and spent the next 10 minutes trying to calm her down. I asked why she was crying. She said because she didn't want me to be sad. I told her I wasn't sad, but I just wanted to understand why she felt this way about me. She said she didn't want to tell me. I'm pretty sure it had to do with me not letting her do whatever it was she was doing before we left for school.
Man, I'm in serious trouble. I dunno how I am going to handle the teenage years. :D lmao.

National Museum of the US Air Force
During the Korean War, the Douglas B-26 played an important part in the U.S. Air Force's interdiction campaign against communist ground forces. Initially, B-26 crews flew during the day, but the introduction of the MiG-15 jet fighter forced them to fly most missions at night.
The Douglas B-26 (originally designated the A-26) was a World War II attack aircraft used for level bombing, ground strafing, and rocket attacks. It made its first flight in July 1942, and production delivery began in August 1943. The A-26 entered combat over Europe in November 1944. When production halted after the war, 2,502 Invaders had been built. The A-26 was redesignated the B-26 in 1948 (thus creating everlasting confusion with the WWII Martin B-26 Marauder).
Early in the Southeast Asia War, the Invader returned to action for the third time. Also, the USAF ordered 40 modified B-26Bs with more powerful engines and increased structural strength. Designated the B-26K, these airplanes performed special air warfare missions.
The A-26C on display (S/N 44-35733) was flown to the museum in September 1957. It is painted to represent a B-26C used during the Korean War by the 34th Bomb Squadron flying night intruder missions.

Packing up to move is proving to be a great trip down memory lane.... finding all those old bits of my life that had faded into some obscure haze. I used to spend over an hour a day with this fellow! ..... A quick little play with my macro lens later and it is now once again back in it's box.... hopefully we will meet again soon!
