NEW YORK (22 May, 2014) - Gunner's Mate 3rd Class Christopher Stuart, a Sailor from the dock landing ship USS Oak Hill (LSD 51), selects comics to take home after a tour of DC Comics in Manhattan as a part of Fleet Week New York. Fleet Week New York, now in its 26th year, is the city's time-honored celebration of the sea services. The Weeklong celebration is an unparalleled oppurtunity for the citizes of New York and the surrounding tri-state area to meet Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, as well as witness firsthand the latest capabilities of today's maritime services.

I had this rare oppurtunity for a TT photoshoot with Olympus users: Zyker, Jai Orang Johor and Raime. It was fun listening to their conversation about the E-series and the four-thirds which sounded rather alien to me. I am familiar with the OMs or the D-blahx3.
We headed for the bridge after a quick thirst quenchers in Simpang Kuala and had a good time shooting the sunset. After maghrib, we had the famous Laksa there as suggested by Jai and also the sponsor for the meal that day. Thanks to Raimi for the trouble in bringing along the albums filled with brilliant images.
Thanks guys and you made me happy shooting with my OM-2N (the only one without a DSLR) and being part of the Oly family.
Thanks for viewing!

Thelma J. White, President and CEO of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC) spoke during the Commitment to the Army Profession Seminar (CAPS). There was approximantly 640 Cadets in 10 different rooms given the oppurtunity to listen and ask question during this event.
I swam pretty much my whole life. I started lessons when I was about 5, and then I started summer swimming when I was 8, then by 10 I was swimming year round and actually went to States with the YMCA with my relay.
I was a sprint freestyler.
By my senior year in high school, I was sick of swimming. My heart wasn't in it anymore.
I decided i would try swimming in college since my school is division 3 and there wasn't much expected of you. I ended up trying it for a few months then quitting, for many reasons.
I still excercise all the time- I usually head to the gym everday. If i don't go to the gym, I take walks. I love excercise, and I'm thankful for that. My mom is really the one to thank, because she didn't let me and my sisters be lazy and eat everything we wanted. She always encouraged us to excercise, be involved, and didn't buy those horrible snacks. Obviously during those days I begged her to get junk food, but looking back on it, I'm glad that she didn't do it ALL THE TIME. Just special occasions.
Looking back on my childhood, thanks to swimming and my mom, I could eat whatever I wanted (when oppurtunity knocked) and I did not once worry about my weight. Never crossed my mind "oh i ate too much shit today I shouldn't eat this ice cream." Hell no- i ate that ice cream!
Now that I'm a tad bit older, I am starting to be more concious of what I'm eating. But wow do I love my salty snacks!
Anyways, this is my body, and despite some complaints about my ass and thighs, I am proud of it
If the oppurtunity ever arises to visit Bodnant Gardens in North Wales then take it,the place is stunning
Nice decor in the Food Republic food court of Vivo City. I'd seen it in zelciia's Food Republic Food Court photos, so of course it was worth a visit.
I loved how they made use of traditional building materials, including dark stained wood, roof tiles, lanterns, all in the traditional dark browns and bright reds.
Plus, it gave up more oppurtunities to continue our hawker food safari!

One of Robin Dunne's anecdotes makes Amanda Tapping cringe as they answer fans' questions.
Due to the long queues for some of the guests, the event organizers decided to bring Amanda on early, half way through Robin's appearance, so that more people got an oppurtunity to see her - and I have to offer thanks to them for doing so, otherwise I would have missed out.

Master of Darkness
Got the oppurtunity 2 "shoot " the master of Darkness in my studio.
The plesure was all mine and.... he is still amoung us so ...... be carefull at nights :)
Tnx 2 my precious model.
I love these stylish little cars, perhaps they could be regarded as the 5s true successor, in spirit and purpose. If Im correct, this one is pre 2004 due to the lack of rubbing strips on the side. Im not overly sure on the spec, anyone care to enlighten me? Quite common considering they were never sold here, a case of massive missed oppurtunity by Renault.

Terracina, Italy. Not a good day for swimming and getting a tan, but easily an oppurtunity for different beach motives.
Oh, and the weather got better. ;-)

It seems the Red Spaceman's already on his way over to his spot. Let's take the oppurtunity to follow him and find out where he's going.
I was given oppurtunity to witness a live painting session done by Persue, Rime, and Dr. Sex. This was done in San Diego. I managed to get a few shots of the action but I did my best to stay out of their way and not interrupt the guy filming (aka Push) from taking his footage. It was fun to watch.
The Front Of An Old Gibson Air-Sweep Air Conditioner. to be honest, im not a huge fan, but if i ever had the oppurtunity to own one, i would go for it. they do have a following, and i have heard about them. theyre suppose to be very good units, but i have never seen one in person. so my assumption is they are very rare today.

Reflection from an empty cafe window somehow reminds me of memorizing. Rationally thinking, separate realms are blurred into one. And one always needs something to reflect against to be able to access to the basic feelings that usually go unnoticed.
Constructing memory this way one could remember the sun and warmth of election day, the windy road, industrial buildings, the eagerness of the dog, the all existing commercial space filled with oppurtunities to consume.
Things and feelings and colors, the time of the day and year and relationship. People like pictures, because it is yesterday. There's some continuity to this moment, but mostly the day has disappeared.
I found this barn in Van Buren County, Iowa the other day down a road I haven't marked as being down yet. A forlorn looking barn with "eyes" with the field full of Queen Anne's Lace and of course the bees and butterflies that accompany the flowers. The unexpected barn is close to work and will provide future oppurtunities.
Originally Cunningham school in Saunders County Nebraska this old one room prairie school is now located in Lincoln, NE.
Fourth grade students in Lincoln have the oppurtunity to visit Heritage school and reenact a school day authentic to the late 1800's. Students dress up like pioneer children and bring a lunch similar to what students would have ate in the late 1800's.
A scan from the C&NW System Timetable No 2. This was the second system wide timetable the railroad issued; the first was in 1972.
Although there was only a year left of through service, there was still a bit of traffic moving through Wausau at this time and there were still several good railroad customers like 3M, Crestline, American Can and Wausau Steel.
The CNW and MILW had joint trackage on the northwest side of town on which they would rotate switching duties every other day. American Can (formerly Marathon Corp until 1957, then James River in 1982 and now Graphic Packaging) was the main switch on this small industrial branch. A lumber supply company just north also had a siding and to the north of that there was still a spur reaching to Marathon Electric although judging from 1974 aerial maps, Marathon Electric was doing very little if any business with the railroad at this time.
The two railroads had 3 interchange tracks - on the east side of the Wisconsin River, at the CNW main yard and at the diamond in Rothschild where the CNW's branch line crossed the Milwaukee main.
The stretch of track in Wausau did not feature signals on either railroad. The diamond on the east end of the CNW yard was controlled simply by stop signs; a train would pull up, stop and give two short blasts of the horn before proceeding. Since the Milwaukee's main in Rothschild had the right of way over the CNW's spur track, the diamond there was protected by swing gates that by default were closed against the CNW, requiring their trains to stop and open the gate before proceeding.
The crossing with the SOO at Marshfield was a mechanical interlocking controlled by the SOO. They had a double main at this time and were always hesitant to allow CNW trains through since they were usually extremely long and prone to issues caused by the bad track. In the early days, the CNW had a lighted approach signal, but by this time electricity had long been disconnected and their signal was simply painted yellow.
According to the 1974 Operations Manual, both Marshfield and Eland were crew change points for road train 471/472. Only eastbound 472 was scheduled to stop in Wausau. Marathon, Edgar and Stratford offered only a few switching oppurtunities by this time and those industries that were still being served were handled by locals out of Wausau.
Journeying through the photographic world. Every wednesday, Staffordshire University students are given the oppurtunity to hear famous photographers talk about their work. 27/10/10 photographer and teacher, Paul Hill MBE.
Shot with Kat at the House of Nightmares Group shoot on 11/29/08. It was a blast doing this set in a dark, cold, and dirty basement. If anyone ever has the oppurtunity to work with Kat.... Do NOT pass up the oppurtunity!
Shot with a Nikon D300, 17 - 200 MM VR lens and a SB800 flash. I used 2 Britek 1500 watt strobes (1 behind an umbrella diffuser and the other as a main with umbrella) to balance out some light in this dark warehouse basement.
I have been super busy with my daughter lately, so I have not had the oppurtunity to do any shooting lately, so tonight I got in the christmas spirit and took some photos!
Hope you enjoy them!

Mifflin Street Block Party, aka get drunk be merry and be happy! Now while I only went to induldge the journalist inside of me, there were no beverages consumed by me. Mifflin is essentially the big party the last week before finals for the studens and fellow partyiers: Not being a UW student I never really saw what the big stink was about. But I knew that it would be a great oppurtunity for some interesting shots. This paticular shot (one of quite litterly a thousand that I took today), was quite interestingly presented to me. While walking around I was looking for an intact beer can to set up and shoot a low angle close-up with people in the background. As I couldnt find an useable can, when I saw this one sitting so perfectly in the window just waitng for me to take its picture.
I cant say if it had anything left in it or not, but I assum that id had some sort of liquid contents on the basis it stayed put the entire time I decided to shoot it. I tried lots of angles with my 35mm lens but eventually had to go wider. This is an instance I wish I had an FX sensor, then the 35mm would actually done the trick. Oh well maybe next time, the reflections and the girl leaned against the side of the building really put me over the edge to choose this shot over the many others I took.

I brought the Opteka 500mm up to Twin Peaks. This was an unplanned visit so I didn't have the normal arsenal of cold weather gear in the car. And it was cold. Biting cold. Finger numbing cold. Only tourists-dare-to-go cold. I couldn't take a still enough shot so I took the oppurtunity to make something "impressionistic". I'll be back and this will be sharp.

Going to the Walmart inKunming was really exciting, it was one of our first oppurtunities to genuinely experience contemporary Chinese culture, as well to interact with, let alone be around local people.
Unlike the Walmart by my house in San Jose, the Walmart in Kunming was almost entirely stocked with local and domestic goods, making Walmart even friendlier than it was before. In Many ways, Walmart can be seen as being more Chinese than American.

From our trip to Aurangabad, Jan 08-10 2010
The Making:
Even this pic dint happen that easily. We climed the steps up till the cave and were a little out of breath as it was sunny.
I had to fiddle with the settings while climbing up as there was so much of variation in the lighting from one frame to the other
and the cam didnt act smart enough to get what I wanted.
The senior citizen in the picture was sitting close to the entrance of Cave No 1 and that being he entrance to the chain
of caves to follow there was a ticket counter and loads of people were entering the premises.
So seeing the oppurtunity I got into position clicked a few, as I mentioned before since I had to change my exposure quiet often the first couple of shots I clicked came under exposed as I was shooting outdoors and suddenly I shot a subject in shade. So I was all in a hurry not to miss this frame and in the next click my card was full to add to my frustration. I hurried through the process of changing it and got back to clicking again.
In the next 1 or 2 shot I got the frame I wanted since I delayed the click till I felt the posture and expression went well.
Though the crowd was disturbing the shoot it was also helping me to keep his focus off me as its the entrance there were n no of people clicking those amazing structures and I tried to make sure I am not disturbing him. Since I was shooting a lower angle the cam was never pointed at him, I guess that added to his comfort
Thank you all for watching and for your awesome comments.
Just took advantage of an quick oppurtunity to take some shots of this fine SLS. Wish I had more time and a better location but as it wasn't a formal photoshoot I just enjoyed the car and took some pictures. I experimented a lot on the editing so this probably won't be the norm.
I had no plans to do a shoot today but out of blue came a call from Kristina who was wondering if I was available. With nothing planned for the afternoon I jumped at the oppurtunity.
I took this shot for this week's challenge "Rim Lighting" for the group Strobist Sundays.

One of the great casualties of the redevelopment of Tottenham Court Road station as part of the huge Crossrail project was the Astoria, on the corner of Charing Cross Road and Sutton Row, which opened in 1927 as a cinema, on the site of a Crosse & Blackwell warehouse. It was designed by Edward A. Stone, who also designed the Brixton Academy, and the Rainbow in Finsbury Park. In 1977 it became a theatre, and, after closing for a year in 1984, reopened as a live music venue and a nightclub in 1985. I used to visit a lot in the 1980s, when its bouncers had a fearsome reputation for violence, and, on one particularly memorable occasion, I saw Nirvana when they were just third on the bill to Tad and Mudhoney. The Astoria closed in January 2009 after it was the subject of a compulsory purchase order, and was demolished later that year. I took this photo of the Crossrail hoarding outside the former site of the Astoria on September 3, 2012.
See here for an extraordinary time-lapse film of the Astoria being dismantled, along with all the other buildings beside it, in the block that used to run all the way to Oxford Street: www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-05/18/demolition-astoria

We left the beaches for a few hours to hike Sage Mountain Park on Tortola. It is the highest point on the island and most of the trail leads through rain forest. There is also a large area of mahogany trees.
Despite it being highest point on the island there were no overlooks/photo oppurtunities. We only got this shot because we had to make a "pit stop" along the trail while hiking. It ended up being a good pit stop though.

The Olumpic torch was coming to Plymouth and we couldn't miss it.
We took a walk down to Stonehouse bridge so we could get a good view, we had thought about going on to the Hoe but knew it would be busy.
We go to the bridge in plenty of time so we could get a good spot. There were people dressed in Union jack dresses, shirts, there was even one man dressed as a knight.
First we were treated to a procession of trucks playing music, there was a Coca Cola truck, samsung and Lloyds, each truck had people waving and dancing, then a bus went past with the remaining runners. The atmosphere was fantastic as they went through, people were then saying that the torch was on the bus as they were running late so people began to leave.
We decided to hang on just to make sure and I'm glad we did.
I'm not sure who this torch bearer is but he looked so happy and proud to be able to carry the torch it was so worthwhile taking the time to go and see him.
We then decided to take a walk up on the hoe to see if we could get a view of the cauldron once lit but we had no idea just how full the hoe would be.
When we got up there the security gaurds told us to go along the seafront as the promanade was closed.
We could not believe the site that we were faced with when we got around to the Plymouth Dome. I have never seen the hoe so busy, and never known the promanade to be closed off.
I'm glad that we saw the torch as it was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.
Sorry the picture is a little out of focus.

Khusro and I on our Autumn tour to Skardu and Hunza got a rare oppurtunity of shooting on 14th Moon Night. We were so passionate that without wearing anything warm we kept on clicking standing at the edges of the Duikar. The freezing cold wind and every passing minute decreasing temparature couldn't surrender the courage that we had. Finally we got down when our camera batteries finally died. And our driver kept on saying that he hadn't seen a mad person like us in his entire 25 years of driving in this mountains.
It was the last shot that we took in order to remember that freezing cold night that we passed without any warm clothes.
Shot in Moon Light with a 3 sec exposure.

Taken at the start of the womens tour 2014 in Oundle, Unfortunatley (or fortunatly dependant of your view point) I got stuck in a traffic jam due to the rolling road closures for 20min, so took the oppurtunity to grab the camera and get some shots as they passed by
