The most (architecturally) boring part of the Oracle shopping complex in Reading, which is otherwise far more interesting. Which doesn't stop it from offering great retail therapy, though (just like any other mall in the world :)
Another app test - this was Fotor, with finishing touches in PicSay Pro (my yet-to-be-beaten favourite mobile editor). Vintage colouring and vignetting were kept subtle, as I went for a 'realistic' look.
I got Panasonic 7-14mm for my E-P1 about a month ago. It is a cute, wide and expensive lens, and now I am looking for a way to use it. But cannot find the time to go on a dedicated photo shoot. So this evening I decided to take some wide shots...
From the archive, Oracle twin towers in the early evening.
Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia.
I've taken a few other shots of these towers in the past - click here to view those.

The weather finally cooperated (sort of) and I managed to get out and and shoot a bit. I drove up to Redwood Shores, to the lair of Larry and shot around Oracle HQ. Its an impressive campus, with an impressively large security force.

Well, I think the Analei wig looks better on my sleepy Rebecca! She's a cutie, this one! I bought the heeled feet for Sera who immediately took them and also the DC jointed hands (pics to come) but in doing so, I had to steal the ankle balls from this little girl, so I stole someone else's feet until I can figure that out (the April Story feet are super cute). Hanazahra is the one who sacrificed her feets so she got Sera's old hands-much more mature than her Angell Studio ones. So lots of swapping going on.
I meant to dye this child, but maybe she'll remain white skinned- and I believe she's blind. I need some eyes for her. Anyway, all caused by exposure to the mists she uses for her oracle-esque powers. She'll be useful for exposition, I think. She is very old, but has no way to mark the passing of time, so doesn't realize her family is long gone.
Not sure she's keeping the outfit as-is, but I kind of like it. Think she's snatched the wig off Analei's head for real!

Like my other Power Figures, this is loosely based on African Bochia and Minkisi power figures, sometimes called "nail fetishes" because of the nails and other pieces of metal that are driven into them ritually to release their magical power.
The figure (head, arms,legs, body) is entirely hand-sculpted by me.
Additive material includes acrylic “doll eye” beads hand-painted by me, replica antique doll parts, fishing net, glass beads, rusted nails.

Sean Tucker's airplane, the Oracle Challenger III biplane, seen here at the 2008 Aviation Nation air show at the USAF Nellis base, is claimed to produce more than 400 horsepower, and weighs only 1,200 pounds. The Challenger III is equipped with a unique set of wings that use 8 ailerons instead of 4. The tail on the airplane is modeled after the tail used on high-performance radio control airplanes.
A visit to the site known as the Oracle of Delphi or where in Greek Mythology a High Priestess of the Temple of Apollo served as the oracle. It occupies an impressive the south-western slope of Mount Parnassus overlooking the coastal plain to the south and the valley of Phocis.
Гітара -- Ukrainian for Guitar. I figured that since I'm making an everyday familiar object look so foreign to the visual senses that I needed a foreign language to describe the set too.

Let’s step inside the aural space
and open the channels between ourselves and others!
These buildings are just down the street from us and I love to go over there as, behind the whole Oracle complex, there are acres of wetlands bordering to the San Francisco Bay.
