So, I was feeling optimistic earlier, that I'd be able to catch up a bit more on contacts (my start was weak at best), but it's that time of the session already. The last week. I need to present my 6 weeks of work next Wednesday, and I have a lot of work to accomplish in that time. All in all, though, I really can't complain. It's been a good week, and a pretty good day so far. I'm starting to regain a bit of enthusiasm again (possibly even mojo?), as I've had a few days of sps that I've liked and put at least a bit of time into. I'm starting slowly to get a handle on the "ghetto lighting" setup that I have. And of course it's Half Nekkid Thursday yet again!
Oh, and I still haven't gotten anything in the mail for my sister Phoebe, and her birthday is Saturday! (Sorry Phoebe!) I'm going to try some new paper that I got today, but I'm still a bit intimidated by her birthday request: a photo of mine, printed large, that is art. Of course it's that last word that I find somewhat paralyzing. Of course I try to put an artistic eye into nearly every shot, but taking that step to being able to say: "this is art" is an intimidating one. Alas...
Update: I spent some time printing this evening (one of the perks of being an architecture student is a sweet printer: Epson Stylus 7800), tried out some new paper, and printed off a photo for my sister (hope she likes it!). Innova FibraPrint White Gloss (300gsm) (F type gloss). Generally I'm pleased - unlike a lot of the glossy papers it actually feels like paper (like traditional fiber paper - pretty much anyways), but unlike a lot of the matte and fine art papers it seems to capture a full range of tones - up to a good black. It ain't cheap (13x19 is about $5/sheet and I wasted one with a stupid mistake) I thought about getting a roll (24 in x 15 m) but that is bloody expensive ($240). ... fun stuff...
Optimistic cafe owner - it was cold and blustery and no out door patrons - the washroom were not there, but somewhere inside the huge convention centre!
Napier
Hawke's Bay
New Zealand
Far from the world's great population centres and from the European and American cities where 20th Century design evolved lies a small city that is unique. Napier, New Zealand, was rebuilt in the early 1930s following a massive Richter 7.8 Earthquake. Subsequent fires destroyed most of its commercial heart. By the end of the decade, Napier was the newest city on the globe.
Nowhere else can you see such a variety of buildings in the styles of the 1930s - Stripped Classical, Spanish Mission, and above all Art Deco, the style of the 20th Century - in such a concentrated area. And Napier's Art Deco is unique, with Maori motifs and the buildings of Louis Hay, admirer of the great Frank Lloyd Wright.
Enhanced by palms and the angular Norfolk Island pines which are its trademark, and bounded by fertile fruit and grape growing plains, dramatic hills and the shores of the South Pacific, beautiful Napier is the centre of the Hawke's Bay region. In Napier, you can enjoy the legacy of its brave rebuilding and savour the spirit of the optimistic Art Deco era.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:
Schumer Optimistic on Democrats’ Chances in 2012
By Corey Boles
Never let it be said that Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) isn’t an optimist.
On Wednesday, the senior Democrat said that if his party was able to knock off one or two Republican-controlled Senate seats in next November’s elections, it would be “almost impossible” for the Democrats to lose control of the Senate.
“When you look at it from 30,000 feet it looks bad,” Mr. Schumer said, at a round table with reporters hosted by the Third Way, a centrist economic think tank. “But when you look at it race by race, it looks darn good.”
Mr. Schumer’s reasoning goes against the views of political oddsmakers, who think Democrats will have a difficult time retaining control of the Senate. They currently have a 53-47 majority, but 23 seats currently held by Democrats are up next year as opposed to just 10 seats for the GOP, leaving Democrats defending more than double the number of seats as Republicans. Analysts also believe about 10 of the Democratic seats are competitive, while just two of the Republican seats are seen as being potentially vulnerable.
But Mr. Schumer sees it differently. He said it was possible Democrats can defeat GOP incumbent Sen. Scott Brown in Massachusetts, where former Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren is running against him. He also mentioned Arizona, Indiana and Nevada as possible Democratic targets depending on the candidates.
The New York Democrat is far from being a novice in political matters. He ran the campaign which steers funds to Senate candidates in the fat years for Democrats in 2006 and 2008 when they regained control of the chamber and then reached their height of power at 60 seats, a mark that effectively gave them complete control of the Senate.
Unsurprisingly, Republicans disagreed with Mr. Schumer’s assessment. Brian Walsh, communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said Mr. Schumer’s view was “out of touch with political reality.”

Travels with Bill
USA trip, April through June 1963.
Close friend, William J. Armstrong passed away in March of 2013 at the age of 80. I came in possession of his many travel slides which he had taken through the years, and felt it would be an honor to share these many fine photos for all to see. One of Bill’s many interests was in transportation, and included almost all forms, from the streetcar, to the Jet plane. Early on, he could be found with a simple box camera taking photos of 3rd Avenue Railway streetcars in his native Bronx and nearby southern Westchester County. As he matured, the circle of travel increased to all of the New York metropolitan area, and then to other cities. Bill loved to travel, to see and experience not only his native New York, but the country as well. His interests went far beyond just transportation, but included history, geography, geology, and photography.
In April of 1963, a thirty year old Bill Armstrong set out on a two and one half month journey to see the country. He had just purchased a new 1963 Ford Falcon four door sedan, teal green in color and equipped with a rare 4 speed manual transmission mated to the base six cylinder engine. The car would take him across the plains of Texas, through the searing heat of Death Valley, along the Pacific Coast, and to Crater Lake where snow was still packed higher than his car. He drove north to Vancouver, Canada and then south along the eastern front of the Rockies. He and his trusty Falcon would visit many of the fabled National Parks such as the Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, and Yosemite. Cities such as Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Most of the driving was done on the old network of US highways, as the Interstate highway system was largely to be built.
Viewing these slides we are seeing our nation as it was fifty years ago. JF Kennedy was President, but would only live a few months longer. Our nation was engaged in a war in Viet Nam that would go on throughout the decade. The civil rights movement was growing as the decade progressed, and then Martin Luther King would be killed. But our nation was still optimistic for the future, and in six years we would land on the moon. Ours was a different nation then, and looking at these photos we see how styles have changed, and just look at all the “old” cars.
Bill loved to share his photos, and presented many evening slide shows during the years. I’m sure he would be pleased, and humbled, that his photos have been preserved and restored as much as possible. Time has not been kind to his color slides. After fifty years the colors have either faded or have changed tint. Bill shot many of his slides using Kodak Ektachrome, which faded very rapidly after developing. Many of those slides could only be saved into a black and white format. Fortunately during the 1963 trip he began to change over to Kodachrome slide film which held up far better. Although Kodachrome turned somewhat purple and darker over the years, a quick session with Photoshop managed to restore much of the color and sharpness. I have included several of the original Ektachrome slides as “before” images for comparison purposes.
This trip served to take Bill from a basic photographer to a highly competent scenic photographer. One can see his mastery of the camera improve as the trip progresses. Note how composition improves, and the use of foreground elements becomes evident during the trip. These photos were all taken with a relatively basic 35mm rangefinder camera with manual focus, lens and shutter adjustment. Bill never used a light meter, instead using the simple instructions provided on the inside of the film box, and let’s not forget the very slow speed of those old color slide films.
So enjoy the trip through Bill’s USA….I’m sure he is smiling.

Despite the bad weather on a wedding day, as soon as the ceremony ended, we were able to get some pretty awesome fog photos since the rain stopped. Just great timing.
Flies are buzzing around my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem give me some
You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on an animal farm
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
I'd really like to help you man
I'd really like to help you man.....
Nervous messed up marionette
Floating around on a prison ship
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
Dinosaurs will reign the earth
Optimistic, Radiohead

At the Birmingham Social Media Cafe on October 29th 2010, we asked people what they were optimistic about.
It's a spin-off from newoptimists.com. We asked scientists 'what are you optimistic about?' — and their answers are now in a brilliant book.

This made me laugh - the car itself certainly looked restorable if you had the time and knew what you were doing, but perhaps the museum doesn't want visitors to get their hopes up...
