This photo means a lot to me.
It was taken 21th of September 2008 in Trollhättan, Sweden, in the surrounding woods of NÄL (a large hospital).
From left to right, the picture holds one of my brothers, my mother, her man and our dog.
The reason I hold this photo dear is because this is the day the struggle began, both for my mom and for our family and friends. The doctors found a tumor in my mothers stomach. A week later she was diagnosed with cancer.
*** UPDATED ***
My mother has undergone a large surgical operation. She is recovering fine right now, but she still awaits chemotherapy and radation-therapy.
*** UPDATED **
Complications. She had another surgery. Trying to fight an infection at the same time.
*** UPDATE February 2009 ***
Progress! She has woken up from 7 weeks of coma. Has been in recovery after that for a couple of weeks and had her first day of permission from the hospital! Hope!
*** UPDATE March 2009***
She's home! A nurse visits her 2 times per day, but she's managing just fine. I couldn't have wished for anything better!
"You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel;
Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down.
I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin',
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been.
Truckin', I'm a goin' home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong,
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on.
Hey now get back truckin' home."
Grateful Dead - Truckin
So today I was out and I saw this old Chevy pickup truck. I had my camera with me, and being inspired by Patty's (ppphotograph) amazing work, lately, like this for instance; power wagon.
I just knew I couldn't pass up this opportunity. The challenge was photographing it where it was, parked on a city street in Brooklyn, in surroundings that were anything but picturesque. I made a shoot out of it anyway, wishing that I at the very least had my tripod with me. I will post some of the others at a later date, but for now I had way too much fun with this one in Photoshop and I am offering it up.

Quote from Wikipedia "Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by Antony Gormley.
Now permanently erected on Crosby Beach, England, it was due to be moved to New York in November 2006, but there was a controversial proposal to retain the work at Crosby. It was stated in the local paper, the Crosby Herald, that they may stay for a decade, but at a meeting on 7 March 2007, Sefton Council accepted proposals that would allow the sculptures to be kept permanently at Crosby Beach"
There are 100 of these iron figures over a 3 Km stretch of beach.

Monte Castello di Vibio Tra il verde delle colline Umbre.
Il nome
L'etimologia del nome "Monte Castello" deriva dalla tipica struttura di fortilizio medioevale costruito in cima ad una collina mentre l'aggiunta del "Vibio" risale ad un'epoca più recente, il 1863, anno nel quale con Regio Decreto del Re d'Italia, Vittorio Emanuele II, alcuni comuni delle province dell'Italia centro – settentrionale furono autorizzati ad assumere nuove denominazioni a causa delle frequenti omonimie che si riscontrarono dopo l'Unità della nazione. La scelta del "Vibio" potrebbe derivare dal nome di un'antica e nobile famiglia di Perugia (denominata in seguito "Colonia Vibia Augusta Perusia") un cui membro divenne imperatore romano. Toponimi con il nome di "Vibio" compaiono nel nome di un'antica abbazia romanica posta nelle vicinanze del paese (San Lorenzo in Vibiata) ed in un iscrizione apposta sopra ad un'urna cineraria di origine romana dedicata a "Tertia Vibia", rinvenuta nei pressi della frazione di Doglio. La Storia
Il paese, derivando il nome dalla "gens Vibia", ha sicuramente origini romane ma, con ogni probabilità, molto attiva dovette essere anche la vita delle popolazioni indigene ancor prima dell'espansione della civiltà romana. Il periodo dell'età di mezzo ha comunque cancellato ogni traccia di quell'antico passato e Monte Castello di Vibio conserva ancor oggi la tipica struttura di un "castrum" medioevale.
Nel 1245, Caccianemico, podestà di Todi, fece radere al suolo le sue mura e nel 1247 il suo successore, Tolomeo di Pietro, fece demolire i torrioni. Entrato a far parte del territorio di Todi, venne inserito nella struttura amministrativa della città e del territorio tuderte, talchè lo troviamo inscritto nel "liber focularium", cioè nel catasto delle famiglie del 1290 con una popolazione di 1000 abitanti.
Nel 1323 la rocca venne ricostruita e registrata facente parte del suo sistema difensivo al comando di castellano di nomina todina.
Nel 1392 vi si insedia la signoria. Bonifacio IX infatti assegna a Catalano degli Atti il territorio di Monte Castello perchè vi esercitasse i suoi diritti di signore.
La famiglia degli Atti vi si insediò stabilmente solo dopo il 1409 e vi restò fino al 1464 quanto Monte Castello passò sotto il diretto dominio della Chiesa dalla quale Todi lo ebbe in vicariato nel 1475. Diverse furono le dispute con la città dominante tanto che Todi, nel 1565, dovette addirittura ricomperare il paese dalla Camera Apostolica e dal 1596, anno in cui il dominio appare definitivamente consolidato, per due secoli Monte Castello ritorna ad essere parte integrante del comitato tudertino.
In epoca napoleonica, fra il 1798 ed il 1799, conobbe però il periodo di riscatto e del massimo splendore allochè divenne Capocantone amministrativo di un vasto terriotorio (comprendente ben 24 comuni e frazioni) all'interno del Dipartimento del Trasimeno. Dopo la seconda restaurazione pontificia del 1814 Monte Castello è divenuto comune.

Something like
The chapel now known as the "St. Anthony", is situated in a plantaforma on Fisherman's Beach in the town of Ericeira, forming the epicenter of the progression of the urban village. It is said today that divides north from south
On the history of the chapel, little is known, especially prior to sec. XVII. Some records show her as coeval to the Parish (sec XV), no traces recorded material this time.
It was the chapel of the House, the first near the Palace of the County. It is known that in 1609, it was the headquarters of the brotherhood of Our Lady of Good Voyage of the Men of the Sea and it followed from their sessions .. In 1645, became the Chapel of Our Lady of Good Voyage.
He was also in this chapel that served the Brotherhood of St. Anthony, brotherhood of unmarried girls.
It is curious that this chapel is well patron saint double, both with the same degree of importance.
Chapel of modest proportions singia is not only to worship but also a "lighthouse" signaling the entry of boats in the harbor of Praia dos Pescadores, serving it to the small bell placed in a niche in the wall of the west ..
In 1645 it was lined with polychrome tiles, funded by the offer of a ring of great value, forming different patterns, among which, on the triumphal arch, still retained a small log of Our Lady of Good Voyage and Child, surrounded six winged heads of angels, with the monograms of Christ, Mary and Joseph and dated 1634.
The original image of Our Lady of Good Voyage of major proportions, upholstered wood and polychrome, restored in 1761, was vandalized and thrown overboard in the night of 22 to 23 January 1912. This image just left the hand that gave the coast the next day and is now preserved in the museum of Santa Casa da Misericordia of Ericeira.
The current building is from the XVII Century, the results of the previous expansion, and one of the works was recorded in front of the doors - 1664. In 1993, he was subject aobras conservção and restoration of the carving, painting and gilding of the reredos. The choir has a balcony, turned wood poles that are repeated in the pulpit side of the chapel.
There are six pictures in the chapel, Our Lady of Good Voyage, flanked by images of Sto. Antonio on the right side and S. Vicente on the left, both dating from the eighteenth century, of small proportions, wood upholstered with great perfection and graceful, another image of Sto. Antonio has the highest proportion of XX fri, and ship in pianhas embedded in the wall, images of S. Peter and St. Catherine of Alexandria, also of the eighteenth century, upholstered wood. In the sacristy there is a sec arcaz the seventeenth / eighteenth and an image of S. Francis of Assisi dating without some
Today is celebrated the third weekend, week of August the festivities in honor of Our Lady of Good Voyage patron saint of fishermen of Ericeira.

A capela hoje mais conhecida como de "Santo António", situa-se numa plantaforma sobre a Praia dos Pescadores na Vila da Ericeira, formando o epicentro da progressão urbana da vila. Diz-se ainda hoje que divide o Norte do Sul.
Sobre a história da capela pouco se sabe, sobretudo anteriormente ao sec. XVII. Alguns registos apontam-na como coeva à Paroquial (sec XIV ou XV), não registando vestigios materiais dessa época.
Foi capela da Câmara, próximo do primeiro Paço do Concelho. Sabe-se que em 1609, já era sede das confrarias de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem dos Homens do Mar e nela decorriam as suas sessões.. Em 1645, passou a ser a Capela de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem.
Era também nesta capela que funcionava a Confraria de Santo António, confraria das raparigas solteiras.
É curioso notar que esta capela tem assim duplo orago, ambos com o mesmo grau de importância.
Capela de modestas proporções nao se singia apenas ao culto, mas também a "farol" assinalando a entrada dos barcos no porto da Praia dos Pescadores, servindo-se para isso do pequeno sino colocado num nicho na parede do lado poente..
Em 1645 foi forrada a azulejos policromos,custeados pela oferta de um anel de grande valor, formando padrões diversos, dos quais se destaca, sobre o arco triunfal, ainda hoje conservado, um pequeno registo de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem com o Menino, rodeado de seis cabeças aladas de anjos, com os monogramas de Cristo, Maria e José e datados de 1634.
A primitiva imagem de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem de maiores proporções, em madeira estofada e policroma, restaurada em 1761, foi vandalizada e lançada ao mar na noite de 22 para 23 de Janeiro de 1912. Desta imagem apenas restou a mão que deu a costa no dia seguinte e que se conserva actualmente no museu da Sta Casa da Misericordia da Ericeira.
O actual edificio é do sec XVII, resulta da ampliação do anterior, e uma das obras ficou registada nas portas da frontaria - 1664. Em 1993, foi sujeita aobras de conservção e restauro da talha, pintura e douramento do retábulo. O coro alto possui um varandim de madeira de postes torneados que se repetem no pulpito lateral da capela.
Existem na capela seis imagens, a de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem, ladeada pelas imagens de Sto. António do lado direito e S. Vicente do lado esquerdo, ambas datadas do sec XVIII, de pequenas proporções , em madeira estofada com grande primor e graciosas, uma outra imagem de Sto. António de maiores proporções já do sex XX, e na nave em pianhas embutidas na parede, as imagens de S. Pedro e Sta. Catarina de Alexandria, também do sec XVIII, em madeira estofada. Na sacristia existe um arcaz do sec XVII/XVIII e uma imagem de S. Francisco de Assis sem datação certa
Actualmente celebra-se no terceiro fim-de-semana de Agosto as festas em honra de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem padroeira dos pescadores da Ericeira.
Exposición "SUBLIMINAL"
Giro lingüístico y paradoja visual
Consideraciones sobre las fotografías de Álvaro Pérez Mulas
(El texto completo)
En sus estudios sobre el inconsciente óptico Rosalind Krauss recordaba que el pintor norteamericano Frank Stella decía a menudo que la persona a quien más admiraba era el jugador de baseball Ted Williams, el cual presumía de tener una visión tan rápida que era capaz de ver las costuras de la pelota cuando ésta sobrevolaba la base. La excepcional mirada del deportista atraía al pintor por su capacidad de ampliar el espectro de lo visible y superar la mirada natural descubriendo detalles de un mundo que no podríamos percibir de otra manera y accediendo con ello a una suerte de “estado abstracto” de la visión.
La mirada fotográfica de Álvaro Pérez Mulas llega a capturar detalles en los objetos y las superficies urbanas que la vista humana no es capaz de detectar, pero no tanto porque sean invisibles como porque su “humilde objetualidad” los hace pasar desapercibidos. Queremos decir con ello que lo que se descubre en estas fotografías, nunca será lo visto por quien pasó cerca de esos objetos; y aquí radica el valor de las mismas; su capacidad de revelación y transfiguración, pues al final las imágenes resultantes son autónomas respecto al referente objetivo del que han sido seleccionadas. De este modo la fotografía recoge una vieja finalidad de la pintura: hacernos ver lo que de otro modo no veríamos; hacernos conocer lo que de otro modo no conoceríamos…
Como todos saben la fotografía nació con la ilusión de ser el medio que podía fijar más exacta y objetivamente que ningún otro la realidad, inmovilizándola y bidimensionándola. Pero los diferentes espacios discursivos desarrollados por este soporte en los últimos años han logrado dar ese giro de tuerca que hace que lo falso se convierta en verdadero, el engaño se perciba como certeza y la realidad –o más bien los indicios de lo real-: como abstracción.
Como ha señalado Jean Baudrillard, la técnica de la fotografía nos lleva más allá de la réplica y el trampantojo. A través de su juego irreal con la mirada, su inmovilidad, su silencio y su reducción fenomenológica de movimientos, la fotografía se reafirma a sí misma como la más pura y al tiempo, la más artificial exposición de la imagen. La visión fotográfica transforma la mirada y provoca un doble juego entre realidad y simulacro que amplifica el concepto de ilusión hasta el infinito.
En las fotos que Álvaro Pérez Mulas presentó hace dos años en la Galería Adora Calvo bajo el significativo título: “RECONFIGURACIONES”, de las cuales su nueva serie “SUBLIMINAL” son una continuación lógica; la abstracción –si así pudiera llamársele- aparecía casi como un enigma, pero también, -siguiendo a Baudrillard- “como una realidad más real que lo real”. Algunas imágenes se percibían -y se perciben todavía en la nueva serie- como “paisajes de la objetualidad cotidiana” que se transfiguran a través de la mirada fragmentaria del objetivo fotográfico; lo cual las convierte en autónomas, es decir: en fragmentos constitutivos de un universo que se aleja de lo real para constituirse, por encima de todo, en “espacio pos-pictórico”.
Pérez Mulas se ha ido moviendo en las series fotográficas que preceden a su nuevo trabajo en el territorio de la paradoja pues sus fotos revelan el universo radicalmente no objetivo que reside dentro de la estructura de los objetos –y ahora también de las palabras- . La imagen se enmascara en tanto que huella de lo real pues la fragmentación y el aumento de escala contribuyen a aislarla de su referente llevándola virtualmente, al territorio de la abstracción, pero nunca llega a perder del todo su capacidad descriptiva. En cada imagen queda evidenciada la inspiración objetual pero también su intercambiabilidad con los modos de la pintura entendiendo por tales el mantenimiento del formato, -de la lectura frontal- y sobre todo del lenguaje y los signos plásticos -las composiciones determinadas por dibujos lineales, texturas y campos cromáticos-, así como el espacio de representación, limitado por unos imaginarios márgenes cuadrangulares que incitan a la contemplación bidimensional. Cada una de estas fotos se postula de modo independiente como una “ficción objetiva” una “re-configuración fragmentaria de la realidad” que llegamos a percibir, -sin saberlo- como: “la imagen simulada por la apariencia de la imagen”.
Ahora bien, cuando las “formas del lenguaje” entran en colisión con el “lenguaje de las formas” como sucede en la nueva serie fotográfica, las reglas del juego interpretativo pueden llegar a variar…
En el proyecto que ahora presenta en el Espacio Emergente del DA2 bajo el título “SUBLIMINAL” Álvaro Pérez Mulas da una nueva vuelta de tuerca a su trabajo anterior y establece lo que podríamos denominar: un “giro lingüístico” de orden conceptual que transforma las imágenes en “fonemas” y las formas en “signos comunicativos” que interrogan -tautológicamente- al espectador sobre el verdadero significado de aquello que está viendo: ¿lo que miras es lo que ves?
En cada imagen siguen quedando evidenciadas como ya hemos visto: la inspiración objetual y la inspiración pictórica; pero también su intercambiabilidad con los modos del lenguaje y hasta cierto punto de la poesía visual. Este desdoblamiento provoca una tensión equidistante entre los tres vértices del triángulo: abstracción, representación y comunicación; pues en cada foto nos encontramos con la huella, el rastro, la disección y el referente; pero al mismo tiempo asistimos a una suerte de “asesinato simbólico del objeto” en favor -aparente- de los signos del lenguaje; lo que a buen seguro: hará sonreír a los conceptuales más recalcitrantes y provocará una cierto estado de perplejidad en el espectador.
La lógica de un uso sintáctico de las palabras transmite dudas y decisiones sobre el significado de los signos y las formas, lo que de algún modo sería comparable al análisis de las “condiciones de la verdad” tal y como fueron formuladas por Wittgenstein. Así pues, podemos concluir destacando que para Pérez Mulas la sintaxis lógica –tanto si nos referimos al lenguaje como a las formas- existe para ser pervertida desde dentro. Las “formas-fonema” son como un virus que se auto-duplica y que sólo puede ser destruido por otro virus más fuerte y resistente y está claro que en este caso sólo las paradojas visuales (y no los diccionarios) tienen la capacidad para hacernos dudar y en consecuencia “diseccionar” el “lenguaje de las formas” con la misma intensidad que las “formas del lenguaje”.

I quit smoking on Monday night. I think about having a cigarette probably every 5 minutes. It will just pop in my head "Oh, time for a smoke!!" Then I remember.
I watch that show Intervention, and I always think for an alcoholic, how sad and hard it would be to have an addiction to alcohol. To where you could NEVER have a drink for the rest of your life. I hardly ever drink, but if I want to drink I can, and I can not drink for another 8 months.
So, with cigarettes, I suppose I am like an alcoholic or any addict for that matter. I can never have another cigarette for the rest of my life.
Do you know this makes me cry inside? It isn't even that I'm addicted to the nicotine so much. I've never had a real strong "Oh my God I NEED a cigarette RIGHT NOW before I kill someone." feeling. I just truly enjoy smoking. So much so that I smoked nearly 2 packs within a 24 hour period. Yeah, I know. Crazy! I could out smoke probably anyone.
The thought of not going on a long drive on the weekend without smoking, makes me sad. What will I do??? Going and having a coffee, and not smoking? Seriously??? I've seen people do it, but I don't' know how?!
It's hard too when the dude at 7-11 knows what cigarettes I smoke, and immediatly goes for them. I went there yesterday, and had to stop him and tell him I quit.
I've had so many split second thoughts of running to 7-11 and just buying a pack. Screw it. Then I come back down to reality, and I realize the only good reason I have to continue smoking is: I like it.
I have a list of reason to not smoke. Mainly, I don't have the best genes out there. Since my Dad died at 29 years old from heart disease, dying has never been far from my mind. It's actually always been pretty much right there ever since I realized about death and dying. I want to live as long as I can, and be here to see my Grandchildren. I can't imagine anything worse then dying before my children are grown.
So, yeah. I've got quite the battle ahead of me. I'm not even 48 hours into this. I'm feeling pretty good though about it. I'm even taking out $10 a day, just to see how much money I actually throw away.
My hair still smells clean. I love that!

Anytime I see someone on Facebook complaining about having to go into a job they hate, I feel for them. I've spent year after year, day after day, dragging myself into jobs that I've absolutely loathed. No one deserves to waste their life away spending at least 1/3 of their day at a place they hate - especially when they typically spend another 1/3 of it asleep.
Imagine that. Millions of people in this country spend 2/3 of their life not appreciating their life. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Don't be afraid to take risks. Don't be afraid to pursue your dreams. Stop holding yourself back. Stop weighing yourself down.

Para quem gosta desse estilo de música, recomendo escutar essa - na companhia de fones de ouvido e olhos fechados, para melhor apreciação. Ela passa bem o que eu sinto quando olho essa foto. :)
Eu gosto do que é quieto. Me apaixono pela sinceridade do despreocupado. E sem muito alarde, as coisas são mais sinceras.
Devo ter passado uns 20 minutos prestando atenção nesse cara, e ele não saiu dali; continuava olhando para frente, às vezes para baixo, perdido em sei lá qual pensamento. Em algum momento eu considerei perguntar se estava tudo bem, mas como acontece em todas as vezes que penso isso, fiquei calada. Resumi minha observação a alguns cliques, tentando enxergar se o que estava acontecendo ali era paz, agonia, reflexão ou apenas um descanso. Não cheguei a conclusão nenhuma, e fui embora tão quieta quanto cheguei.

To those who like this kind of music, I recommend listening this one - with headphones and eyes closed, for better appreciation. It shows pretty much everything I feel when I look at this photo. :)
I like of what is quiet. I fall in love with the carefree's sincerity. And, without ostentation, things are more sincere.
I must have spent about 20 minutes watching this guy, and he didn't move an inch; he kept looking forward, sometimes looking down, lost in some thoughts that I dunno. At some point I considered asking him if everything was okay, but as pretty much every time I think about doing that, I remained silent. I just summarized my observation to some clicks, trying to understand if what was happening there was peace, agony, meditation or just a simple rest. Didn't came to any conclusion, and left as quietly as I arrived.

Chevrolet Corvette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as the Vette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has been produced through seven generations.
The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette.
Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky."
(...)
- First generation-C1 (1953–1962)
- Second generation-C2 (1963–1967)
- Third generation-C3 (1968–1982)
"The third generation Corvette, patterned after the Mako Shark II concept car, was introduced for the 1968 model year and was in production until 1982.
C3 coupes featured the first use of T-top removable roof panels."
(...)
"There was an extended production run for the 1969 model year due a lengthy labor strike, which meant sales were down on the 1970 models, to 17,316.[35] 1970 small-block power peaked with the optional high compression, high-revving LT-1 that produced 370 bhp (276 kW). The 427 big-block was enlarged to 454 cu in (7.44 L) with a 390 bhp (291 kW) rating. The ZR-1 special package was an option available on the 1970 through 1972 model years, and included the LT-1 engine combined with special racing equipment. Only 53 ZR-1's were built."
(...)
"In 1971, to accommodate regular low-lead fuel with lower anti-knock properties, the engine compression ratios were lowered which resulted in reduced power ratings. The power rating for the 350 cu in (5.7 L) L48 base engine decreased from 300 to 270 horsepower and the optional special high performance LT1 engine decreased from 370 to 330 horsepower." (...)
"Although the 1972 model's 350 cu in (5.7 L) horsepower was actually the same as that for the 1971 model year, the lower net horsepower numbers were used instead of gross horsepower. The L48 base engine was now rated at 200 bhp (150 kW) and the optional LT1 engine was now rated at 270 bhp (200 kW).
1974 models had the last true dual exhaust system that was dropped on the 1975 models with the introduction of catalytic converters requiring the use of no-lead fuel. Engine power decreased with the base ZQ3 engine producing 165 bhp (123 kW), the optional L82's output 250 bhp (186 kW), while the 454 big-block engine was discontinued.
Gradual power increases after 1975 peaked with the 1980 model's optional L82 producing 230 bhp (172 kW)."
"Styling changed subtly throughout the generation until 1978 for the car's 25th anniversary. The Sting Ray nameplate was not used on the 1968 model, but Chevrolet still referred to the Corvette as a Sting Ray; however, the 1969 (through 1976) models used the "Stingray" name as one word, without the space."
(...)
"The 1978 25th Anniversary model introduced the fastback glass rear window and featured a new interior and dashboard. Corvette's 25th anniversary was celebrated with the Indy 500 Pace Car limited edition and a Silver Anniversary model featuring silver over gray lower body paint.
All 1979 models featured the previous year's pace car seats and offered the front and rear spoilers as optional equipment.
53,807 were produced for the model year, making 1979 the peak production year for all versions of the Corvette. Sales have trended downward since then.
In 1980, the Corvette received an integrated aerodynamic redesign that resulted in a significant reduction in drag. After several years of weight increases, 1980 Corvettes were lighter as engineers trimmed both body and chassis weight.
In mid-1981, production shifted from St. Louis, Missouri to Bowling Green, Kentucky, and several two-tone paint options were offered.
The 1981 models were the last available with a manual transmission until well into the 1984 production run.
In 1982, a fuel-injected engine returned, and a final C3 tribute Collectors Edition featured an exclusive, opening rear window hatch."
- Fourth generation-C4 (1984–1996)
- Fifth generation-C5 (1997–2004)
- Sixth generation-C6 (2005–2013)
- Seventh generation-C7 (2014–present)

This weekend, there was a house in our city, (about five minutes walking distance), that was having an open house yard sell.
Their house was built in 1904. (My house was built in 1890.) I'm in LOVE with old, antique, vintage stuff. From houses, to clothing, to CAMERAS, to LIFESTYLES.
These people knew exactly how to live in that completely vintage, old-fashioned way. Their home wasn't ever air conditioned. And they've been living there since 1988. Well, little did I know, but the man living there is a WIDELY known photographer.
www.garygruby.com/ <--His website!
He does AMAZING things with his many cameras. He is selling SEVERAL vintage cameras, including some SUPER awesome collapsible Polaroid cameras. He was a very inspiring and very talented older man, and just speaking to him was such a pleasure. :]
I hope all of you get to have experiences like I had.
Math test Thursday. So I'll be studying hardcore. :[ Pray for me! I'm so nervous :[
ANYWAYS, on to five random things you may or may not know about me. (I've been tagged so many times for so many things, I can't even count. I tag everyone by the way ;])
1. My dreams are almost ALWAYS realistic. It's quite aggravating actually. I'd rather have trippy, yet awesome dreams, rather than waking up wondering if I ACTUALLY met Justin Bieber. :|
2. I'm a good friend. I'm not saying because I'm proud. I'm saying it because I strive to be by my friend's sides. I want them to be happy, to make good decisions, to remember who they are, to go for their goals, to love, to have fun, to explore, and to really be able to trust me as a friend. I'll hold in a secret until the day I die, and I love helping people with their problems, or just being there for them to talk to. I know I can't always hang out with people, but I'm always here if you need to talk. This means all you Flickrists as well!
3. I love SO many different types of music. Back in highschool, I was STRICTLY into heavier music. (Metal, hardcore, screamo, etc.) But lately, I've been digging mostly everything. I love reggae, mainstream, pop-punk, rap, hip hop, indie, techno, rock, classic rock, hardcore, metal. Everything except country mainly. :P
4. My favorite bands/singers lately are!: Katy Perry, The Noisettes, MGMT, B.O.B., Nicki Minaj, Avenged Sevenfold, and Lady Gaga. There are many more I just can't remember. :[
5. I've been drinking ONLY water, (and the occasional coffee) for the past two weeks! And I must say, I've had less acne, and more energy!
Hope you enjoyed, and learned a thing or two about me! Interact with me in the comments! :] What're some bands I should check out?

Papua New Guinea is one of the most diverse countries on Earth, with over 850 indigenous languages and at least as many traditional societies, out of a population of just under 7 million. It is also one of the most rural, with only 18% of its people living in urban centres. The country is one of the world's least explored, culturally and geographically, and many undiscovered species of plants and animals are thought to exist in the interior of Papua New Guinea.
The capital is Port Moresby.

Chassis Number: 61651
This Veritas RS was purchased by the current owner in 2001 from the assets of its deceased owner Björn Övre. Mr. Övre was a collector of Veritas and early BMW cars who has purchased already in the 1950s and 1960s several Veritas cars in Belgium and imported them to Norway. He was indeed well known in Veritas circles and often a most welcomed guest at Veritas meetings at Meßkirch and at the Nürburgring. Sadly his intention to restore 61651 after retiring did not happen due to his untimely death.
After being in the now vendors ownership the car was completely restored by German specialist Georg Thiele and a photographic documentation of the restoration is available in the cars file. This restoration included restoring the original space frame, front and rear axles, wheels, braking system and fitting of new shock absorbers, rebuilt engine with new pistons, polished con rods, new oil and water pumps (by Feierabend) and a 5 - speed gearbox is fitted with the original gearbox supplied. Fresh paint and seats trimmed in the traditional style finish the car.
Today 61651 presents itself in superb race and road ready condition. This car campaigned in many classic races, rallies and classic outings all over Europe within the last 10 years while in the ownership of its current custodian, himself a well known pre - and post war BMW collector and is in mint condition throughout. Needless to say that it is highly collectible, very rare and simply beautiful, certainly not to be missed.
Der Veritas RS # 61651 stammt aus dem Nachlass des norwegischen Sammlers Björn Öwre und wurde in 2001 vom jetzigen Einlieferer vom Nachlass - Verwalter erworben. Öwre besaß seit den 1950/1960er Jahren mehrere Veritas, die er in Belgien erworben und nach Norwegen importiert hatte. Er war den Veritas Freunden seit Jahren bekannt und ein gern gesehener Gast an deren Treffen in Meßkirch und am Nürburgring.
Unter der Leitung von Herrn Georg Thiele und dank vorhandener Pläne wurde 61651 von Grund auf restauriert. Der originale Gitterrohrrahmen wurde auf einer Richtbank vermessen und ausgerichtet. Beide Achsen wurden komplett revidiert, ebenso Räder,Adapter, Bremsen sowie Bremsseile und Leitungen. Der Wagen erhielt neue Stoßdämpfer. Der Motor wurde mit neuen Hochleistungskolben versehen, die Pleuel wurden ausgerichtet und poliert. Öl - und Wasserpumpen lieferte die bekannte Fa. Feierabend. Der Zylinderkopf ( Bristol 100 ) bekam neue Solex 32PJCB - Vergaser ( NOS ). Ein leistungsfähiges Kühlsystem ist ebenso verbaut wie der für den Rennbetrieb vorgeschriebene Ölauffangbehälter. Zur Zeit ist ein VOLVO 5-Gang Getriebe verbaut, jedoch ist das Original - Getriebe vorhanden.
Der Gitterrohrrahmen wurde mit Aluminium Blechen beplankt, teilweise unter Verwendung alter Karosserie - Teile. Die Lackierung ( innen + aussen ) wurde ebenso wie die Sattlerarbeiten in der ,, alten Art ,, ausgeführt. Das Armaturenbrett und die Instrumente wurden nach Vorlagen und Muster neu angefertigt und entsperechen dem Original.
Tank und Batterie wurden aus Sicherheitsgründen - abweichend vom Original - im Heck des Wagens untergebracht. Eine Fotodokumentation ist vorhanden.

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.
I picked up the Lensbaby Fisheye Optic at Imaging USA this year. Initially I thought I would have pretty limited reasons to use it. I might pull it out for the occasional odd portrait or something but a true 180° fisheye is most often used in rap videos and at skate parks, neither of which do I often photography.
But, I am finding it a lot more useful than I originally imagined. Human vision is a funny thing. We are aware, via peripheral vision, of almost 180° of the world but we only have good focus on about 10° of out vision. Our eyes and brain see a lot but we only focus on a small sliver of that. As distorted and odd as these round images look, there is something familiar to them just because they do show the world as we see it… sort of. On a full-frame sensor camera, like the Canon 5D MKII, a 12mm fisheye like this Lensbaby optic produces a round image and much of the sensor never sees any light. The view is so wide that you have to be careful that you don’t get your feet, camera strap or elbow in the shot.
In spite of all the distortion that the lens gives, it provides a very deep depth of field even when focused very close and shot at f/4 like (the aperture I used on these shots).
There are a few drawbacks to the Lensbaby fisheye when you use it in their Composer rig. First, you have to be very careful that the image is centered properly or you end up with some of the elegant sphere getting cut off. It is also manual focus and because everything looks so small through the viewfinder, you really have to shift to Live View and digitally zoom in to focus properly. This is not a big deal if you have a little time to compose your shot but tends to preclude and “on the fly shooting.”
Anyway, it’s a fun addition to the arsenal of obscure lenses that I seem to love and fawn over. It is also a good bit cheaper than the Canon EF 8-1fmm lens f/4 L USM (which will set you back $1,400 and only stops down to f/4 while the lens baby goes to f/2). I am sure that the Auto Focus of the Canon would take a lot of the leg-work out of using an extreme fisheye and that the optics are cleaner, but I have heard reports that the clarity, when stopped down and used properly are not worth the price difference.
But, enough camera geek talk. I hope you enjoy this somewhat unusual view of Louisiana and Mississippi during the winter that I photographed yesterday on my ride back from Lake Bruin. I’m looking forward to putting this lens to more remunerative use on my next portrait assignment. All in all, highly recommended.

Notes: Marty and I played hooky yesterday. The forecast was for sun and 66 degrees (f). For January, that's a pretty rare treat for us. So we packed up our gear and headed to the beach. Or "down the shore" as we like to say in New Jersey. The temps by the ocean were not to meet the expected 60+ temps but nonetheless, it was a spectacular day out. We didn't see a lot of different or new species, sans this one.
Horned Larks have probably been there many times before, but, thanks to a guy we met out on the jetty (Thanks, Todd!) we were pointed in the right direction. I scooted on my rear end, propping my lens on my knees (with bean bag) a good 30 feet to get this shot. High sun and white sand, make for challenging shooting. I chose this image to share because the horns are so predominantly displayed.
About 3/4 the way through the day of shooting I realized I was shooting in JPG mode. Gulp. But alas, as it turned out, no harm done. It ended up making the post work, well... a breeze if you want to know the truth. Can I pull as much out of shadows, etc? No... but for a day out having fun... who cares? I think I may opt to let my camera do the heavy work next time too.

There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.~ Anais Nin
It's a pretty miserable Monday morning - weather wise; unrelenting, cold rain. I couldn't be in a better mood this morning though - which is a feat in of itself given the aforementioned conditions, I didn't sleep all that well and I'm scheduled to see a neurologist for a surgery consult later this afternoon (I have a pretty severely herniated disc in my lumber spine).
But I feel inspired... and eager! So on this Monday - here are just a few of small pieces of my mosaic; the things that make up my truths, my happiness:
- Imported (German) gummi bears... seriously, I love them and I'm not sure I'd be the same if they ceased to exist.
- Family; they're pretty dandy too!
- Friends who love and support me, my dreams, my ambition... even if I do stumble over and doubt myself.
- Music: I'm not a musical artist (the closest I ever come to that was a failed attempt to play trombone my third-grade year - it was what was available to use for free when I was a foster child), but I am a LOVER of music... with a VERY eclectic taste in that regard.
- My lilac linen spray.
- And it should go without saying, but photography... I'm so happy to share with all of you.
Happy Bench Monday, my friends!
Macao
Guia Lighthouse
Guia Fortress, Lighthouse and Chapel: Built on the top of the highest hill in Macau peninsula (which has a walking trail with gymnastics infrastructures) is the Guia Fortress, erected in 1637 inside which is a lighthouse (1865), the first to be built in the China coast. Besides the lighthouse there is a Chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Guia, decorated with beautiful frescoes recently restored. From the fortress the visitor can visit the whole city and the Pearl River. It is an extremely calm spot ideal for photos, with a coffee shop selling soft drinks and coffee. Moreover it is here that the typhoon signals are hoisted in order to inform the population that the tropical storm is approaching.
The Guia Complex, which includes a historical military fort, chapel and lighthouse, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The fort and chapel were constructed between 1622 and 1638. The lighthouse was constructed between 1864 and 1865, the first western style lighthouse in east Asia or on the China coast.
In October 2006, the Macau Government announced a gigantic construction project which includes a new home for Beijing’s Liaison Office. With such construction plan, Macau’s signature lighthouse will be hidden from large portions of the city, and, perhaps the harbour.
The project at the foot of Macau’s Guia Hill comprises a 135 metre tall tower, a 99.12 metre tower, with other tall buildings in a line spanning some 300 metres, while the Guia Hill is only 91 metres in height.
The height of Beijing’s Liaison Office (99.12 metres) is designed to commemorate December 1999, the year of Macau’s return to Chinese sovereignty. The building is already under construction and will be complete next December to commemorate the eighth anniversary of Macau’s handover.
The Association for the Protection of Macau’s Historical and Cultural Heritage warned the Macau government that if the high-rise buildings turned out to block the view of the Guia Lighthouse, it would upset the feelings of many residents.
Earlier in 2006, the Macau government uplifted two decrees that stipulated maximum construction heights in that area. The Land, Public Works and Transportation Office said the revocation stemmed from “the need to modernize the legislation, already 15 years old and completely outdated, out of touch with the gambling sector development and the increasing need for building sites”. Since 2006 summer, there have been a few heritage disputes in Macau. Activists have been fighting against a building plan that threatened to block the sea view from the A-Ma Temple, a World Heritage site honoring the goddess of seafarers and protesting against a government plan to demolish the Little Blue House - a historic mansion that isn’t on the World Heritage list.
According to the Macau Post Daily (January 10, 2007), heritage management expert, Mr. Imon, stressed that the UNESCO in Paris has a so-called World Heritage in Danger List that comprises properties deemed by the organization to be in peril because of adverse developments in their surroundings. In case of a world-heritage property’s inclusion in the danger list, the UNESCO may issue a warning in order to urge the respective country [China in the case of Macau] to stop the damage and to remedy the situation.

Suggested by the book Flying Saucers from Outer Space by retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Donald F. Keyhoe, this story, about an alien invasion of Earth, is highlighted by spectacular special effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Harry Lauter as Cutting - Generator Technician
Charles was always cutting out stories from newspapers and in the mid-fifties there were a spat of flying saucer sightings. Charles thought this phenomenon would make a good feature and so Earth Vs the Flying Saucers was the result.
The design of the saucers was based on what most people would expect but Ray added an animated section into the top and underside that also had flutes in them so that people could see it was moving.
The various sizes of saucers (there are seven in total) were made from aluminium by Ray’s father and then anodised giving them a matt finish so they didn’t reflect light.
Ray never liked the latex alien suits used in the film even though he designed them. He would have preferred to animate models of the aliens but because of budget restrictions this was never possible.
Instead of drawing entire storyboards for the action, Ray used location photographs and executed rough sketches on them and then mounted them for storyboards.
As with The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, a great number of the rear project plates were stills.
For all the aerial model work Ray used old recording wire on which to suspend the saucers.
The miniatures sets – The Capitol and the Supreme Court buildings cost $1500 each and the Washington Monument cost just $500. Compare those costs with today’s budgets
Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (EvFS) is the flagship of 50s sci-fi B movies. It has all the hallmarks of a typical B movie: shot in black and white, much stock footage, low-budget props, etc. That said, EvFS is still the best of its breed. The acting is good (for the most part). Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation of the saucers is great. His saucers have more "life" than any model on a string could attain. The basic premise of hostile aliens invading the earth with flying saucers was a classic. EvFS would be a significant influence in Tim Burton's 1996 movie Mars Attacks.
Dr. Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) heads a nascent satellite program, but all of his satellites blow up or fall from orbit. A saucer buzzes Dr. Marvin and his wife as they drive to the base. Despite a call from Dr. Marvin's father-in-law (Morris Ankrum), they launch the next rocket. A saucer descends on the base. Troops open fire. The saucer is invulnerable, but one of the robot-like aliens is hit. The other alien-bots use heat beams to destroy the base. Only Dr. Marvin and his wife escape because they were in a deep bunker. The aliens came from a defunct solar system, intent on taking over the earth. They want earthlings to surrender peacefully so their new home won't be a ruin from the battle. Mankind is defiant. The aliens give earth 56 days to think it over. The time is used, instead, to develop an anti-saucer weapon. Dr. Marvin and staff develop a magnetic disruptor which makes the saucers unstable. When the fleet of saucers finally arrive over Washington DC, a whole fleet of disrupter-beam equipped Ford flatbed trucks is there to greet them. A mighty battle rages. Saucer heat beams destroy much, but the trucks take their toll too. Saucers wobble and fall into a variety of DC landmarks, including the Washington Monument. Finally, the last saucer falls. Earth is saved! The end.
It's hard not to enjoy this classic of 50s B sci-fi. It has everything a 50 sci-fi fan loves. The acting is reasonably good, the pacing is pretty good too, so even someone who isn't a fan of the genre could be suitably entertained.
EvFS is a classic allegory of Cold War tensions. A hostile force seeks to invade and take over. In the mid-50s, the threat from communism was never far from viewers' minds. The caustic Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev would say, later in 1956 "We will bury you!" would say later. When, in the movie, the earthlings decide to fight the saucers, an Army general says: "When an armed and threatening power lands uninvited in our capitol, we don't meet him with tea and cookies!" Such was American popular sentiment towards the threat of communism.
Stock Footage Fun -- amid the usual clips of P-80s and V-2s (Checkers!) and other military clips, are stock disaster clips. Storms, fires, destruction. For the sci-fi fan, there are also snippets recycled from earlier sci-fi movies. There are battle scenes cut from War of the Worlds ('53) and The Day the Earth Stood Still ('51).
Cheap Suit -- The aliens walk about in crude robot-like suits with faceless bullet-shaped helmets. The fit and finish of these suits is quite poor when you get a good look at them.
Alien Glimpse -- The brief scene in which the real alien (head) is exposed, reveals the taxonomy that would become archetypal: big head, tapering to a small neck, large almond-shaped eyes, tiny mouth. They're also said to weigh little, being fairly weak and frail. Of the many sorts of invading aliens seen thus far in the 50s, some were simple -- men in leotards Killers from Space, if not just plain people Devil Girl from Mars and Flight to Mars and giant humanoids: The Thing. A very few hostile (or at least frightening) invaders were not humanoid: Invaders from Mars and War of the Worlds. The alien in EvFS appears to be an early showing of what would later become the presumed "true" shape of alien life forms.
Bottom line? EvFS is well worth watching. Fans of 50s sci-fi will enjoy it. Family members of fans of 50s sci-fi can tolerate it. In many ways, it is the epitome of the B grade 50s science fiction movie.
