Compositionally Challenged Week 7 is Still Life. To get the light and shadows the way I wanted took some experimentation with manual exposure and a handheld external flash.
This is my way of saying that old-fashioned note cards, written and addressed by hand, and sent via snail-mail still have their place in our modern world.
Bottle of Notes is a sculpture by internationally renowned artists and creators of public artworks, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. Unveiled in 1993, it was commissioned by Middlesbrough Borough Council as the first public artwork to be installed as part of a regeneration initiative for the Tees Valley region.
Situated in Middlesbrough Centre Square, outside Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA), the sculpture takes the form of a giant bottle, standing nine metres high – twice the height of a giraffe. The shape of the bottle is made from a continuous, off-white swirl of steel letters. Blue letters spiral upwards from the inside.
The artists took their inspiration from the local area’s industrial heritage, its relationship with the sea and from Captain Cook, one of the area’s most famous sons. The intricate steel lettering reflects the region’s rich heritage in steel production and fabrication. It was constructed in Hebburn, helping to provide employment for steel workers in the shipyards.
For the outside of the bottle, van Bruggen selected a line of text from Captain Cook’s Journals, written during his first voyage of exploration in the Pacific in 1769: We had every advantage we could desire in observing the whole of the passage of the planet Venus over the Sun’s disk. The text on the inside comes from a poem she wrote, ‘Recalling Amsterdam’, which links the English shore to the European continent: “I like to remember seagulls in full flight gliding over the ring of canals.”
The sculpture is positioned on a slant, to appear as if it had been left stuck in the sand by a receding wave – a giant message in a bottle to local people and the wider world.
I came home today and found this in front of my house. I feel bad they didn't even get to finish the list. I hope they can remember the names.
I made these for my dad`s 60th birthday party. He enjoys listening to music so I thought these would be cute.I`ll be sending these to Europe.

While visiting the Jagadish in Udaipur, India, I sat upon the steps of the temple and noticed this man across the street. He was sitting in a doorway quietly observing the crowd as he wrote in his notebook. Eventually I came over and introduced myself and took a portrait of him. He was a quiet and soft spoken but a very kind individual who welcomed the short chat. Vijay was his name.

We inherited this compendium of note paper and envelopes from an elderly cousin. I thought it was very cute but I can't ever see me using it.

Helsinki365 is a photo project carried out by a Helsinki based freelance photographer Jussi Hellsten.
What does Helsinki look like? How does it feel – how do I feel it? Although I have lived in Helsinki for several years now, it still feels unfamiliar to me. This year-long project is my chance to explore the city in a new way and from a different perspective. The year 2012 is also a special year to be photographing Helsinki, when the city serves as the World Design Capital.

DaVinci week-on-two-pages with notes. Was using these for a couple of months until I decided I was running out of room, having to write smaller and smaller to fit it all in.
A little side note from my personal side. Unfortunately I see a increasing amount of my photo's being shared on the internet wihtout my Copyright. I want to remind you that you are not alowed to share my photo's without my permission! If you want to use my photo's you can do so by asking me first. You can either comment below my photo's, send me a personal message or e-mail.
My last presentation of a few pages from my note book was well received.
The comments inspired me to develop the idea. To that end I've tried this approach. The day was 17th June 1979, the event was Doncaster Works open day. I had arrived behind the Doncaster Derby rail tour hauled by 20066 and 20162.
The watermark is 55004 turned out in ex works condition but if i remember rightly she had donated her engines to keep others going.
The notes show part of the locos seen at the works and some observations as the rail tour went up the east coast mainline. Also a few local notes from the 23/6/79.
My Valentine's Day love note to the hubster. I was inspired by the Inspire Me Thursday theme of "fold" to create a folded card. blogged here: creativeeveryday.com/creativeeveryday/2009/02/i-love-you....
The hair! The faces on the people around them........the doorman who you can't see in this photo that asked them to "calm the dancing down". Hahahahahahahahahaha!
I have seriously started a Lauren Fanclub. She's the person who gets the most comments & favourites out of all my photos. I think I can safely say you can 'hire' her for a party for the small price of getting her really, really drunk.....
She is also a free spirit now that she graduated today.....That is correct people....she is also very intelligent as well as being a pretty face.......(pretty sure she has an English degree now or something)
She is going travelling throughout Europe this summer so if you want her to come to your party let me know!
