The many years of confusion were never easy. As a small child I could not understand why I wanted to dress like a girl and as a young man I constantly felt ashamed of the fact that I could not resist wearing women's clothes anytime an opportunity presented itself. I likened it to being hopelessly addicted to a drug and never once considered that this compulsion may have been a psychological need. As I matured though I began to acknowledge myself differently and finally I realised that there was nothing to feel ashamed about and that my need to wear pretty clothes was so that my outer appearance was in sync with what was happening between my ears. I am a woman and I need to look like one. Simple really once I got there.

"We will forsake our countries, we will leave our motherlands behind us and become one with this earth. We have
no nation, no philosophy, no ideology. We go where we're needed, fighting, not for government, but for ourselves.
We need no reason to fight. We fight because we are needed. We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse. We are engineers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in.
We will sometimes have to sell ourselves and services. If the times demand it, we'll be revolutionaries, criminals, terrorists. And yes, we may all be headed straight to hell. But what better place for us than this? This is our only home. Our heaven and our hell. This is Outer Heaven." -- Big Boss

A 15-inch Rodman gun, together with two 8-inch Rodmans on the left flank of Fort McHenry's Outer Battery.
None of these cast-iron guns were present during the 1814 bombardment, being mounted after the American Civil War and serving until 1912, although never fired in anger! However, the earthen banks have always mounted the Fort's heaviest artillery.
The 15-inch piece required a crew of 14, including four men just to carry each spherical explosive projectile. The gun, a muzzle-loader, weighed over 22 tonnes and required up to 23 kg of powder to fire the 200 kg projectile out to a maximum range of just five kilometres!
Designed by Frenchman Jean Foncin in 1798 and named after James McHenry, a Scots-Irish immigrant and surgeon-soldier who became Secretary of War under President Washington, Fort McHenry was built after America won its independence to defend the important Port of Baltimore from future enemy attacks. It was positioned on Locust Point peninsula which juts into the opening of Baltimore Harbor, and was constructed in the form of a five-pointed star surrounded by a dry moat. The moat would serve as a shelter from which musketmen might defend the fort from a land attack. In case of such an attack on this first line of defence, each point, or bastion, was fortified, so that the invading army would be caught in a crossfire of cannon and musket fire.
Of course, the fort is best known for its role in the War of 1812, when it successfully defended Baltimore Harbor from a half-hearted attack by the Royal Navy on 13-14 September 1814. It was during the bombardment of the fort that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," the poem that would eventually be set to the tune of "To Anacreon in Heaven" and become the national anthem of the United States.
Tucked away in the heart of Tokyo, the Tsukiji Outer Market buzzes with life, offering a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and flavors. While the famed wholesale fish market has relocated, the outer market remains a bustling hub of culinary culture and history. Strolling through its narrow alleys feels like stepping into an earlier era, where tradition and modernity collide. Vendors, housed in compact wooden stalls and semi-enclosed storefronts, display a dazzling array of fresh seafood, artisan goods, and handmade ceramics.
Architecturally, the market retains its postwar charm, with many of the structures showcasing weathered wooden facades and corrugated metal roofs. These timeworn features blend seamlessly with the vibrant signage, lanterns, and cloth banners, creating a striking juxtaposition of old and new. Shops are often crammed to the brim, with wares spilling out onto the streets, drawing locals and tourists alike into an intimate, immersive shopping experience.
The energy here is unmatched. Fishmongers deftly slice glistening cuts of tuna, vendors shout their daily specials, and the air fills with the enticing aroma of freshly grilled seafood skewers. Beyond the seafood, stalls offer a treasure trove of Japanese staples—handcrafted knives, artisanal teas, and delicate ceramics, each telling a story of Japan’s rich cultural heritage.
Whether you’re sampling buttery uni or admiring the fine details of hand-thrown pottery, the Tsukiji Outer Market offers a quintessential Tokyo experience. Its enduring charm lies in its ability to preserve tradition while welcoming the contemporary, making it a must-visit destination for anyone craving a slice of authentic Japan.
It took me about 15 minutes to build this lightbox from scratch. It cost about $80 with the bulbs, shop lights, foam core board and white gaffer's tape (which took me all day to locate at $28 a roll). But this experiment worked well. I hope to use it to shoot products for any websites we design.

Another visit to Neist Point for the lovely sunset. This time the sky was very clear and the colours more vibrant than the pastel colours of the day before.
20 second exposure to smooth the water out.
This is a sunset on the Outer Banks...the sun actually sets over on the sound side of the island, but the color was also glorious on the ocean side.
