In de bergen bezoeken we mensen van de Lavin Agta stam.
De Dupaningan Agta bevolking. De stamleden leven vooral van visvangst en producten die het oerwoud oplevert, zoals kokos en honing. De Agta zijn de oorspronkelijke bewoners van de Filippijnen. Ze worden ook 'de Negrita's' genoemd en ze hebben soms sterk gekruld haar, een verwantschap aan de aboriginals uit Australië.
Dupaningan Agta is an Austronesian language of the Philippine subgroup which is
spoken in northeastern Luzon, Philippines by approximately 1,400 semi-nomadic hunter gatherers belonging to the Negrito ethnic minority.

Phoenicopterus roseus
El flamenco común (Phoenicopterus roseus) es una especie de ave de la familia Phoenicopteridae, que vive en grandes grupos en zonas acuáticas de África, sudoeste de Asia (incluida Turquía), sur de la India, sur de Europa (incluida España) y Chipre.
Características
Su altura es de 120 a 140 cm, con una envergadura alar semejante, se caracteriza por su plumaje rosado, que en las alas es siempre más intenso y puede llegar a ser rojo, y con las plumas primarias y secundarias de color negro. También son características sus largas patas y su largo cuello.
Historia natural
Se alimentan en lagos pocos profundos, a veces en bandadas de más de un millón de ejemplares y cuando un miembro del grupo detecta peligro, deja de alimentarse y estira el cuello y la cabeza hacia arriba mientras grita, avisando así al resto del grupo.
Como todos los flamencos, esta especie pone en un montón de barro, un solo huevo blanco gredoso. La mayoría del plumaje es rosado-blanco, pero los abrigos del ala son rojizos y las plumas de vuelo son negras. El pico es rosado con la punta negra, y las patas son enteramente rosadas. La llamada parece el toque de una bocina como el graznido de un ganso.
Distribución
Zonas acuáticas de África, sudoeste de Asia (incluida Turquía), sur de la India, sur de Europa (incluida España) y Chipre.
En España anida en la laguna de Fuentedepiedra, Doñana, Cabo de Gata y Delta del Ebro. Otras poblaciones importantes se encuentran en la Camarga. Numerosos flamencos procedentes de estas zonas pasan el invierno y, en ocasiones, gran parte del resto del año, en zonas húmedas del norte de África, como la Mar Chica, en Nador, o la desembocadura del río Souss, al sur de Agadir
Delicious full frame goodness....
It was a tough decision between this shot and another out-take. Because of the wide aperture, very close composition and full frame camera, the dof is extreme - so much so that the image might be considered oof (the focus point was the filling in the middle of the 1st wrap). But I went with this cos I liked how the dof worked on this image.
I am thankful that I have always had food to eat now as well as when I was growing up. Its a blessing that is too easily forgotten.
With that in mind, if you ever thought you had a terrible childhood, look at these images - however bad it may seem, someone has always has had it worse... and for that we should all be thankful!

Our tour took us to Valley Inn, the Hamilton Bay and then off to an abandoned home on Highway 6 near Puslinch...
I thought i would start with my favorite bird shots of the day and then post some of the abandoned shots when i get to them this weekend.
Thanks for the day everyone... and Scott, thanks for taking us to the abandoned house and barn
From the first annual Fashion Trashion show put on by the Studio Art program at University of Minnesota, Morris. The students in the beginning art classes designed and constructed outfits out of trash and recycled materials, and then put on a full runway show with judges, jokes, and way too much fun. They had an enormous SRO turnout - far larger than anyone expected. It was a great end to the day of the Undergraduate Research Symposium day - a wonderful dessert at the end of a rich and varied meal.
Jess Larson asked me to take photos at the event, and in the end I took well over 1,000 photos. As of today (19 August 2009), I've managed to go through the first half and sift out the obviously broken ones. Siobhan Bremer asked if I could jump ahead and sift through the photos of the Dasani "wedding" dress since she'd like to use that in a project. Hence this little set.
UMM folks should feel free to use these however they see fit. It would be nice to know when they're being used, however. Thanks.
Thanks to everyone involved for putting on a really tremendous show!

It all started with a pyromaniac magician, he was trying to use his black magic with three finger vulcan grip to start a fire, but all he was getting was smoke.
Eventually this unimpressed monk who harbored great disdain for vulcans bust out his giant match he had painstakingly crafted by hand over the last century. He lit it and…
You should ask my wife if it is a good idea to go to a bonfire the size of a house while wearing a puffy down jacket.. Only a few holes burned into it before we backed away.
We arrived on time for the beginning of the event, but that was an hour or two too late for a front row spot, which would have been perfect for taking pictures without heads, arms, cameras, little Japanese guys standing on step ladders, and 8 foot tall tripods in the way. My height advantage in Japan proved useless and I ended up with barely in clean shots without any of the aforementioned items in my pictures. We will definitely make sure this does not happen next year! I highly recommend anyone in Tokyo checking this out due to the amazing photographic potential you could have if you claimed a spot in front of the crowds.
Als Gast in der Glashütte Eisch arbeitete Mare Saare im Rahmen des „Artist in Residence“-Programms vier Wochen in Frauenau. Während dieser Zeit konnte sie alle Möglichkeiten der Hütte für die Herstellung ihrer Kunstwerke nutzen. Hier entstanden Objekte, die, neben aktuellen Werken aus Ihrem Atelier in Tallinn, vom 19. August bis 7. November 2009 in der Galerie am Museum in Frauenau gezeigt werden.
Als „Tor zwischen Ost und West“ wurde die Estin Mare Saare von ihrer belgischen Kollegin Sandra De Clerck auf der Vernissage zur aktuellen Frauenauer Ausstellung vorgestellt; und tatsächlich ist der Name der vielgereisten und vielseitigen Glasprofessorin von der Kunstakademie in Tallinn fest verknüpft mit dem Ankommen der facettenreichen estländischen und baltischen Glaskunst in der Internationalen Studiobewegung.
Mare Saares Arbeiten öffnen dabei nicht nur den Blick auf eine fern gerückte Glas- und Kunstszene, sondern vor allem auf den flüchtigen Zauber der Ostseelandschaft, und auf eine Persönlichkeit, in der Vitalität und Verwundbarkeit zusammen wirken.
Das Glas, seine Fragilität und seine Herkunft aus körnigem, leicht verwehtem Sand benutzt sie mit genialer Virtuosität: Ein vielfarbiger, schwingender Kelch entspringt einem noch zerbrechlicher wirkenden Grund aus körnig verschmolzenem Glas, er nährt sich von ihm, bis dieser gleichsam bröckelt und schließlich inexistent, zu Sand wird.
Die in Frauenau ausgestellten, blumenartigen Objekte der Serie „Fragile Circuit“, gearbeitet in pâte de verre-Technik, stehen für einen zerbrechlichen Kreislauf, der gleichwohl ewig ist wie Ebbe und Flut. Sand ist bei Mare Saare nicht nur ein künstlerisches Bild für Erneuerung und Wiederkehr, sondern dient – neben gemahlenem und gekröseltem Glas – tatsächlich auch als technisches Ausgangsmaterial und als immer wieder verwendbare Auflage im Formprozess der zarten Objekte.
Ihr individuelles Herstellungsverfahren für diese Objekte verwendet Sand als technische Hilfe, als Form und Auflage im Schmelzprozess. Sand ist unendlich wiederverwendbar und steht auch dadurch für die Idee der Erneuerung und Ewigkeit. Der Boden der Arbeiten wird in Glas gegossen, der Blütenkelch ist aus verschmolzenen Glaskröseln in pâte de verre-Technik hergestellt.
Die Künstlerin selbst beschreibt Ihre Werke so:
„Meine Arbeiten sind oft extrem zerbrechliche, offene Tellerformen. Ich arbeite gerne mit Farben, selten aber mit völliger Transparenz. Ich versuche das Zerbrechliche, Zarte, das Verletzliche und das Flüchtige im Glas zu vereinigen, indem ich farbige Glaspulver in Formen aus Sand fuse.“
Feeling a bit lost with my digital work lately and film keeps screaming at me, not for the film look or use but in the fact of seeing a good print, (which despite much cost isn't happening with digital!)
That's when your damn camera works. I carefully exposed 36 exposures of HP5 in my old Praktica over the last couple of days and you can imagine my lacklustre response at developing a blank film today. Nope, not a processing error, (the manufacturer marks were still present in the film rebate), but turns out my old camera has given up the ghost. Film wound OK and even the mirror made it's usual clatter but the old metal shutter blades are firmly stuck closed - bummer!
So I took a break this afternoon, dug out my DIY modified Vivitars and had a play with the dSLR. This is so easy to do with digital, (for those of you that have done some darkroom printing you'll know what a pig low key work can be and out come those good old 'spot one' tints!!), but try and get a good digital print of this and it just aint happening.
So I might just dig out the old Mamiya, (whose shutter I know works as I serviced it a few months back!), and replicate this on film. Then curse the dust that accumulates around fresh negatives like teenaged boys clammering around a teenaged girl and half as willing to p*ss off.
Time to start licking that old spotting brush ;-)
Vivitar 550FD modified with 45 Joule tube plus silvered reflector at rear right and high, (my rear right in the photo you crazy fool!) Modified Vivitar 550FD with diffuser front left and low at full power, (half of rear). Did have a third high and left to pull out the silhouette but didn't like it so took it out, but then that's my perogative :-)

More details: The jungle murmurs
Nature is growing, with or without our witness. In Malaysia you would be amazed to see how fast it goes. Within days you can find a tree where there were nothing. Liana are falling, leaves are blooming and dying every seconds. This is the rain forest law.
Everytime when you are walking in the jungle, you witness this process. You might not pay attention, but it is growing, it is dying, it is birthing. The plants are so wonderful when they are developping specially in the rain forest. The rules are more though, the trees are culminating so high that it forces the other spieces to find a way to catch some sun.
This is the birth of one plant, rolling out of its shell, getting ready for the big fight of the light, creating our oxygen. This birth give a wonderful gradient of green from the white of the bith until the dark of the death. The patern is also very interesting.
You can fill the strenght that is rolling out, this thirst for light. This infinity small leave has a huge willness for growing, for living.
It gives a big lesson of life.

During the month of March, I didn't pick up my camera save for on one occasion.
I used the time instead to go through my library and evaluate how far I've come in the nearly two years that I've been actively trying to improve myself as a photographer. I scoured Flickr for photographs I liked and rather than just faving them and leaving it at that, I looked at the photograph and asked myself why I liked it. I'd look to see what I would've done differently and what I would have been exposing for. I took mental notes on composition, lighting, and many, many other things. I added over 1000 photographs as favorites and viewed thousands more. (Some flickr users got more than 10 or 20 saves from me- One person in particular had almost her entire photostream faved by me.)
But most importantly, during my time off from actively shooting, I tried to figure out what exactly I like to shoot. Those of you who have seen my photostream know that I shoot pretty much everything- from landscapes to portraits, flowers and skies, paintings to musical performances. And I'm okay with that- I enjoy shooting everything and I will continue to do so, but I discovered that above everything else, I enjoy photographing people. I love capturing split-second interactions between people on camera. The photograph above is an example of a moment like that. I have no idea who either of those people are- presumably, they're second-semester freshmen at Boston University currently, but I can't confirm that. I cannot tell you what preceded this 0.00625 seconds of time or if anything happened after, but during this 0.00625 seconds, there was an interaction between these two people, be they friends or strangers.
So I'm back. And I've added a Holga and a Vistaquest to my photographic arsenal.
Also, I realize many of the last few shots have been in B+W, and I can't explain that. Maybe it's just the mindset I've gotten into since planning on shooting B+W film, maybe my subconscious found something hyperappealing in B+W during my month off. I'll try to bring some color in soon, but my reserve bin is almost entirely B+W right now anyways.
April: you are on notice.

i had fun doing this, i just made one big mess of my bathroom that will never be clean ever again. i am enternally plagued with glitter.
this was a risky shot for me too. heres why.
1: its glitter, who doesnt feel like a dare devil when glitter is in your hand?
2: theres the risk it will never go away.
3: i had to use something to keep the glitter from falling off my face...(ha right!) i chose vaseline, i also had on make up, (which i cant wear and never do) and i had all of said glitter. my skin is HIGHLY sensative. putting this much 'unkonwn' on my face was a risk.
4: my mom would walk down and think i had turned 7 years old again and lock me up, or laugh.
the stakes were high, so i jumped higher. i was just going to put a little glitter at first but then my brains said "no. go big or go home, its that simple."
moral of this lesson: glitter is like sin, you try just a little and then you get addicted, when youve realized what youve done you try to quickly cover it up or remove it..but you cant, and it will never go away. theres no man made cure for removing glitter that you can buy, at least not at my walmart, only one thing can remove your sin, and that is death. but you dont have to die, Christ already did.
Parish Church of St Mary The Virgin.
Eardisland Village, Herefordshire.
A place of worship as probably stood on the site of the present church since Saxon times. Of the present building the Nave was built in the 12th century (probably being the total extent of the Church at that time) and the Chancel, Vestry and South Porch were added in the 14th Century. The original Tower (of probable 15th century origin) collapsed in 1728 and was replaced by the present one in 1760.
There was a restoration of the whole church under the London architect Henry Curzon, which was completed in 1864 at a cost of £2000. In this the Chancel and Tower arches were rebuilt and an Organ Chamber added.
ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS AND POINTS OF INTEREST
Windows. The East Window, of four trefoiled lights with net tracery in a two-centred head with a moulded label, depicts the four British Patron Saints and other well-known Saints. The present glass (by Burlison and Grylls) dates from 1902 and was given by Mrs. Clowes of Burton Court.
Four of the original deep lancet windows remain (three in the North Nave, one in the South); the others were probably replaced in the 14th century by larger windows to improve the light - the two Easternmost windows in the Nave are probably 14th century (with modern glass) while the SouthWest window is modern, with glass depicting the Good Shepherd and with a Tudor-style house in the background, and was given in memory of Neville Packer of Weston. The only old stained glass remaining is at the top of the window by the Pulpit.
Roof. The Chancel roof is of the trussed rafter type, with curved braces forming two-centred arches, and is of 14th century origin.
The Nave roof dates from the 1864 restoration, though retaining the 16th century tie-beam against the West wall. This beam is finely carved, with a running vine ornament.
Pews. The present pews were installed in 1864 and replaced the earlier oak box pews.
Pulpit, Font & Lectern. All 19th century.
Recesses (various). In the North wall of the Chancel (containing the Organ Chamber) and in the South wall (possibly a tomb) - both 14th century; a blocked-up doorway in the South Nave was probably the Priest's entrance prior to the building of the Chancel.
Sedilia (seats for officiating clergy). South side of Sanctuary: 14th century.
Piscina (for washing vessels). South side of Sanctuary: 14th century.
Cupboard in South wall of Nave. Was used for storing the Clowes family Prayer Books. The door was carved in 1902. Holy Water Stoup (near South Door). Sawn in half in the 19th century to make room for an extra pew.
The Organ. A modern, two-manual, instrument in a carved oak fretting case by Hill, Norman and Beard and given by Col. & Mrs. Clowes of Burton Court in memory of their son killed in the Great War.
The Bells. There is no record of the original bells, which were presumably damaged at the time of the collapse of the earlier Tower in 1728. For the rebuilt Tower a ring of 5 bells was cast by Abraham Rudhall. These were rehung by Greenleaf & Tristram (of Hereford) in 1906 with a new treble by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry being added. But in 1950 the timbers of the bell frame were found to be unsafe as the result of a death-watch beetle attack. The bells were taken down and recast and, with the addition of two new bells (one given in memory of Edith Fanny Griffiths, the other being inscribed 'To commemorate the Coronation of H.M. Queen Elizabeth 11, 2nd June 1953'), rehung in a new cast-iron frame. While Taylors of Loughborough cast the bells and supplied the new frame the actual installation was effected by local men, H. Myatt and L. Evans. This ring of eight bells was dedicated in 1953 and has been rung regularly ever since, enjoying a reputation as the most perfect ring of bells in Herefordshire. The Tenor weighs over 12cwt, being 411/2" diameter and in a key of G-natural. More details of bells
The Clock. The eight-day striking clock as made in 1873 by Leeson of Coleshill at a cost of £65, plus P-9. 4s. 2d. for installation.
TO COMMEMORATE AD 2000 . . . . .
We have undertaken a number of improvements.
A new social and exhibition space has been created at the west end of the Nave. This is enclosed by two new screens: the large plate glass Millennium Screen which fills the Tower Arch and the wood Nave Screen which incorporates the surviving portion of a 15th century screen.
In the Tower, new staircase/ ladders now provide access to the clock, bells and all stages of the Tower up to the roof. The Clock has been converted to automatic winding.
If you really have to shoot digital (as the vast majority now do, admittedly), or perhaps want to supplement any film cameras you still (hopefully) own and use, with the convenience of a digital, I think it's worth remembering a few things before you fork out a lot of money:
1) The number of megapixels a camera's sensor has isn't everything ~ the quality and inherent dynamic range of the sensor is just as important too.
Fuji cameras have had (thus far) the best sensors I've used.
2) If you're intending to make prints, unless they're going to be a lot larger than 7x5, you won't notice the difference between a 3.2 mp camera, and a 6-8mp camera, given equivalence in the quality of their respective sensors.
In order to double the resolution (and you'll only notice that with really big prints) of a 3.2mp camera, you'd have to use a 10.24mp camera, with an equivalent quality sensor.
You can't go by the numbers alone.
3) The lens is just as important on a digital camera as on a film one.
This little Fuji had one of the best 6x optical zooms ever put on any compact - but nobody wants these cameras because they've "only" got a 3.2mp sensor.
4) Why waste money unnecessarily on getting the "latest Kit?
These things depreciate as quickly as computers do.
This one, in perfect "hardly used" condition, came with a 1gb Fujifilm XD card, and a fitted Lowenpro camera bag, that was probably worth as much as the camera.
All for £32 + £4.50 P&P.
If you really need much higher quality images,,,buy a 30 year old medium format TLR or folder, and spend all your money on a decent film scanner.
You'll still get change from whatever the current "entry level" DSLR is from Canon. Nikon, etc, and images that piss all over the most expensive "Pro" model they make, or are ever going to make.

I went sightseeing to the Farallon Islands last weekend before the storm. It was my first time out there and the highlight was probably seeing 20 to 30 humpback whales surface feeding over Fanny Shoals.
The Farallon Islands have a long history of bird egg harvesting, fur seal harvesting, whaling, and fishing. It was also the site of nuclear waste disposal during the first 30 years of the cold war. The aircraft carrier Independence, a target ship for two atmospheric nuclear tests, was purposefully scuttled to the west of the Islands.
We caught rockfish, lingcod, and sanddabs. It wasn't a great fishing day, but as the others sent me home with some of their catch I probably won't be buying fish for a month or so.
Sebastes species are slow growing territorial predators with venomous spines in their dorsal and anal fins. Several species are known to live 100 to 200 years. The group is commonly sold as "red snapper" in fish markets. There are about 130 species in the genus and many species have multiple color morphs -- making field identification difficult for sport and commercial fishermen. Several (if not all) Sebastes species are endangered by overfishing. Catch and release of non-target species is complicated by the expansion of air in the internal organs of Sebastes during retrieval. While they appear paralyzed or dead at the surface, Sebastes caught in less than 200 feet water can be returned to successfully to depth using special techniques involving weights and reverse barbless hooks or open bottom containers. Marine sanctuaries off the California coast will soon protect limited geographical sites from all fishing.
Next time I want to send a camera down there.
The Blackmagic Ultra Lite does a lot with a little! It is a combination of our Blackmagic Top Handle with a pair of rods running above the camera. It mounts with a 5” Z-rail that attaches to the top of your camera via two ¼ 20 screws. The Blackmagic Top Handle and each of the 7” male/female threaded rods attach independently across the 5” rail with a Zacuto quick release ratcheting lever. The rods and the handles can freely slide side to side on the Z-rail for balance and can be set facing backwards or forwards. You can set the 7” rods lightweight spaced (60mm) over the camera lens to hold a follow focus or matte box. You can also attach accessories to each rail and to the rod running through the handle using a Zacuto Z-release mount. This kit has endless possibilities!
Zacuto dovetail accessories are adjustable to work with Z-Rail, NATO, SWAT, RED, PICATINNY, and WOODEN CAMERA rails.
Kit Includes:
2x Z-rail to Rod Mount connectors

World War I, a.k.a. First World War -
The Great War
"The War to End All Wars"
It was a total war which left millions dead and helped to shape the modern world.
At 11:00am on November 11, 1918 —
eleventh hour
eleventh day
eleventh month —
A ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae
The poem "In Flanders Fields" by the Canadian army physician John McCrae remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915.
"This poem was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the second battle of Ypres. My headquarters were in a trench on the top of the bank of the Ypres Canal, and John had his dressing station in a hole dug in the foot of the bank. During periods in the battle men who were shot actually rolled down the bank into his dressing station.
Along from us a few hundred yards was the headquarters of a regiment, and many times during the sixteen days of battle, he and I watched them burying their dead whenever there was a lull. Thus the crosses, row on row, grew into a good-sized cemetery.
Just as he describes, we often heard in the mornings the larks singing high in the air, between the crash of the shell and the reports of the guns in the battery just beside us.
I have a letter from him in which he mentions having written the poem to pass away the time between the arrival of batches of wounded, and partly as an experiment with several varieties of poetic metre." Lieutenant Colonel Edward Morrison

Garden Detail
The Ingham County Arts Commission and the Ingham County Fair partnered in this project which brought together professional and student artists, and community residents to conceive of the images, design and paint the mural. The "Murinal" remained a landmark at the fairgrounds for over a decade but has now been painted out.
South & West Views
The "Murinal" a 1981 community arts project created a mural around the four sides of a bathroom building at the Ingham County Fairgrounds. Known as "the murinal" this community artwork depicted the Mason County rural countryside of farmland and wetlands, the Mason county courthouse, and the fairgrounds.

See Boost1966's collection of images here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stranding of the S.A. Seafarer on July 1, 1966, is all but forgotten,except by the affected few, but it has been referred to as “a tragic milestone” in South African maritime history. It would have been worse but for a handful of men flying Aloutte helicopters who battled against strong winds to lift off the passengers and crew of the stricken vessel.
Originally named Clan Shaw, then Steenbok and finally S.A. Seafarer, the ship was owned by the Safmarine Shipping Co when she arrived off her home port of Cape Town on the evening of June 30, 1966. On board were a crew of 63 and 12 passengers, including a six-month-old baby, Joanne Richardson. The cargo amounted to 7,800 tons and included thousands of bottles of whisky, over 300 different-titled magazines and a lethal consignment of tetra-ethyl-lead.
The weather was bad, the sea rough with a heavy swell running, and there was intermittent rain and a north westerly wind blowing at 30 knots.Port Captain Motson, of Cape Town,decided it would be safer to handle the ship by day and told the master, 32-year-old, Captain James Branch, to remain clear of the harbour and bay until morning. When Capt. Branch received the message the S.A. Seafarer was three to four miles north-west of Robben Island. For about an hour the engines were stopped and the vessel drifted but at approximately 20:30 the master went to the bridge and set a course of 230° with an option to steer 240° if it was found the ship rode more comfortably.
At 22:00 Capt. Branch reviewed the situation and again at midnight he returned to the bridge. By this time the weather had improved and the wind speed was down to 10 knots, with visibility considerably improved. The lighthouses at Green Point, Milnerton and Robben Island were all visible. Although the Port Captain had intended his message to be an instruction Capt Branch regarded it as advisory and decided to enter Table Bay and proceed to an anchorage. The task seemed simple enough and as the ship was equipped with gyro compass, magnetic compass, echo sounding apparatus, direction finder, radar and Decca Navigator, he did not for see any difficulty.
Undoubtedly, there were certain risks involved but Capt. Branch did not deem them dangerous. What he did not know was that a series of small errors had already begun to place the ship in jeopardy. The third officer had found that he could not hold the ship on a course of 230/240° with the ship travelling dead slow and he had altered course to 260°, but he made no mention of the alteration to the master and neither did he inform the second officer when the latter took over the watch at midnight.The third officer also failed to fix the ship’s position satisfactorily before handing over.
When Capt. Branch returned to the bridge at midnight he, without checking the ship’s position, rang down for “Full ahead” and turned the vessel to leeward, prior to setting a course into Table Bay.’ The ship’s head was steadied on a course for Milnerton Light but at this stage Green Point and Milnerton lights were close together and the quarter master could identify neither by its flash.
On assuming watch at midnight the second officer obtained a position by taking two bearings but failed to fix his position by taking a third bearing on Robben Island light. Nor did he lay off,on the chart, the course set by Capt. Branch. Had he done so he would have discovered how perilously close they were to the dangers off Green Point.
The second officer took another bearing at 00:23 and at this time, Capt. Branch stopped engines and checked the ship’s ability to go astern. Four minutes later the second officer took a third fix and entered the ship’s position on the chart. When he had finished he commented that the rocks on the shore were clearly visible when the beam of light from the lighthouse fell upon them. It was about this time that the boatswain uttered a warning of breakers ahead. The master immediately put the ship astern and once clear of the area the position of the ship was again fixed. Satisfied that he was clear of danger, Capt. Branch turned the ship to port and ordered “Slow ahead”. Then, when he was sure that they were heading for deeper water, he rang down for “Half ahead”.
At 00:37 the boatswain once again warned of breakers ahead. The master ordered the ship hard to port but it was too late. There was a sudden lurch and the ship was on the reef, off Green Point.
As the engine-room began to flood the engines were shut down for fear of an explosion and Capt. Branch realised that the ship was in grave danger. Every wave that broke over the SA.Seafarer pushed her further and further onto the reef.
Hurriedly, but calmly, the passengers and crew gathered in the lounge while they awaited instructions from the master. By this time it was obvious that there was no chance of saving the vessel. The first message from the ship was one of urgency: “Please take off passengers and crew as soon as possible”. Rescue operations from the shore were immediately set into motion. The tugs F.T. Bates and C.G. White left Duncan Dock and manoeuvred into position outside the breakers off Green Point in order to render whatever assistance possible.
As time dragged on several attempts were made to rig a breeches buoy but the wind and mountainous seas played havoc with the lines, constantly carrying them away and fouling them in the rocks. It was then decided that this method would be too hazardous and that a helicopter rescue should be attempted at first light. At 04:42, after being subjected to massive seas and waves, the SA.Seafarer broke her back. Rescue operations were now being hampered by lack of adequate light and it was decided to use the beam from Green Point lighthouse. The revolving mechanism was therefore stopped and the beam focused on the S.A. Seafarer.
A helicopter flown by Commandant Tatham was then manoeuvred into position over the stricken vessel in an endeavour to lower a walkie-talkie and thus establish direct communication with the shore; messages were previously being relayed to the rescue crew on the shore via Cape Town Radio. The first attempt was a disaster and the walkie-talkie was smashed but the second attempt was fruitful and direct ship-to-shore communication was established.
Although the forward section of the vessel was steady the stern section rocked violently as each wave struck.By this time those on board had gathered in and around the master’s, cabin as it was feared that the ship’s mast would fall onto the lounge area. Even in this terrible predicament, tea and biscuits were served to the crew and passengers. Helicopter rescue operations started at dawn and at 07:55 the first passenger, Mrs. Louise Waterson, was safely lifted to shore. Shortly after she was joined by her husband. From then on the rescue operation ran smoothly and at 10:15 Capt. Branch was the last person to leave.
For weeks after the stranding wreckage from the SA. Seafarer continued to be washed ashore. Drums of tra-ethyl-lead were feared to have burst as hundreds of dead crayfish and perlemoen were washed ashore but laboratory tests revealed that they had actually been killed by a wood preservative, pentachiorophenol, which had been carried in the ship’s hold.
The subsequent court of inquiry found Capt Branch negligent on three counts:
Setting an unsafe course;
Stopping the vessel and putting the engines astern at a time when she was within two cables of foul ground at Green Point and on a lee shore; and
Not appreciating the seriousness of the situation even at this late stage and not ordering “Full astern” to take the vessel clear of danger.
Capt. Branch’s certificate of competency as master was suspended for two years and the court also reprimanded the second officer for negligence in failing to warn the master of the imprudence of their course before the stranding. During the hearing Capt. Branch told the court that the stranding could have been caused by a shoal extending further seaward than shown on the chart, or by an uncharted pinnacle in the line of his course. In order to remove any doubt a survey was carried out by an underwater “sledge” pulled by a power boat. Nothing was found.
A contract to get rid of the wreck was eventually awarded to a scrap metal firm and today there is no visible evidence of the disaster.

And my mom won me this really cute banana with a face and her boyfriend burned a hole in it with his ciggarette and ripped a hole in it and all the sstuffing fell out.
Today sucked ass.
"Get up on your hands and knees
Underneath the poplar trees
Digging through the sticks and stones
Looking for store bought bones
Waiting on the rising sun
Clutching at your holstered gun
Praying on a shooting star
That I can be wherever you are
Looking through a telescope
Maybe there's a sign of hope
Leaving everything behind
Stirring a store bought mind
Sitting at the edge of the seat
Wishing you were here by me
Sifting through the mud and the bricks
Looking for a store bought fix
You can't buy what you can't find."

We have been waiting to test the T2i and I have to say we are very very very impressed. This is one amazing camera. We went back to Pennybacker Bridge because it was the only place we could think of that wouldn't require Adri to walk to much. More to come tomorrow.
Little out of focus on this one *points at Jake*haha but we got a little Milky Way in this one, Can't wait to get out of the Light Pollution.
About the Shot
Usually when I visit the zoo, the baboons are frolicking up the back of their sizeable enclosure, too far away for my 200mm to reach. This time, I arrived at the viewing window to find a huge crowd of people gathered. I waited patiently for a couple of minutes then pushed to the front to be greeted with this lovely sight. Two of the zoo's newest babies right down the front. I'm going to guess that the wee one with the grass in his mouth is Chandu. He was more confident than the other one. Within minutes the youngsters were scooped up and carried away so I got there just at the right time.

About the Baboon Babies
Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed the first of its spring arrivals in the form of three baby gelada baboons. The new additions, which are the first gelada babies to be born at the Zoo, have been named Chandu, Chibale and Chiku. Chandu, who was the first to arrive on 10 February, is the only one to be sexed so far and is a boy. Chibale, whose name means kinship, followed on 6 March and Chiku, whose name means chatter, finally arrived on 10 March. The names for the three baboons have been chosen by their keepers to reflect the Ethiopian origin of this species.
Gelada baboons have only been part of the animal collection since 2007 when a group of seven arrived from Rheine Zoo in Germany. In 2008 the Zoo received a male called Malachi from Colchester Zoo who is father to all three babies.
Gelada baboons live in the Ethiopian Highlands. They live in large troops, led by one dominant male, with younger males, females and infants of all ages making up the rest of the group. They are currently in danger of extinction due to the expansion of the local human population. Not only do they have to compete for land but they are also targeted by farmers who suspect them of crop-raiding.
Georgina Cook, one of the Primate Keepers at Edinburgh Zoo, said:
“We’re really happy that our gelada group have bred successfully as it means that they have settled in really well. The youngsters have already started exploring the enclosure on their own and we’re sure they will prove to be very popular with visitors.”

A Mais Bela Flor
O local estava deserto quando sentei-me para ler embaixo dos longos ramos de um velho carvalho. Desiludido da vida, com boas razões para chorar, pois tinha a impressão que o mundo estava tentando me afundar. E se não fosse razão suficiente para arruinar o dia, um garoto ofegante chegou perto de mim, cansado de brincar. Ele parou na minha frente, cabeça pendente, e disse cheio de alegria:
- Veja o que encontrei!
Na sua mão uma flor. E que visão lamentável! Estava murcha com muitas pétalas caídas...
Querendo ver-me livre do garoto com sua flor, fingi pálido sorriso e me virei.
Mas ao invés de recuar, ele sentou-se ao meu lado, levou a flor ao nariz e declarou com estranha surpresa:
- O cheiro é ótimo, e é bonita também... Por isso a peguei. Pegue-a, é sua!
A flor à minha frente estava morta ou morrendo. Nada de cores vibrantes como laranja, amarelo ou vermelho, mas eu sabia que tinha que pegá-la, ou ele jamais sairia de lá. Então estendi-me para pegá-la e respondi:
- Era o que eu precisava...
Mas, ao invés de colocá-la na minha mão, ele a segurou no ar sem qualquer razão.
Nessa hora notei, pela primeira vez, que o garoto era cego, e que não podia ver o que tinha nas mãos. Senti minha voz sumir. Lágrimas despontaram ao sol, enquanto lhe agradecia por escolher a melhor flor daquele jardim.
- De nada... - respondeu sorrindo.
E então voltou a brincar sem perceber o impacto que teve em meu dia.
Sentei-me e comecei a pensar como ele conseguiu enxergar um homem auto-piedoso sob um velho carvalho. Como ele sabia do meu sofrimento auto-indulgente? Talvez no seu coração ele tenha sido abençoado com a verdadeira visão.
Através dos olhos de uma criança cega, finalmente entendi que o problema não era o mundo, e sim EU! E por todos os momentos em que eu mesmo fui cego, agradeci por ver a beleza da vida e apreciar cada segundo que é só meu. Então levei aquela feia flor ao meu nariz e senti a fragrância de uma bela flor, e sorri enquanto via aquele garoto com outra flor em suas mãos prestes a mudar a vida de um insuspeito senhor de idade...
As melhores coisas da vida são vistas com o coração!

Langania village, Tantanua dance (mask dance) and the Sing-sing of the malagan people.
Sing-sing is a gathering of a few tribes or villages in Papua New Guinea. People arrive to show their distinct culture, dance and music. The aim of these gatherings is to peacefully share traditions. Villagers paint and decorate themselves for sing-sings.

Malagan ceremonies are the most large-scale and famous of the many events that take place within the malagan culture. They take place irregularly, and are typically large and complex events, taking several days, and requiring months or years of preparation.
While a malagan ceremony is always held in the name of one or more people who have died in recent years, it is not at all merely a mortuary rite. Many other interactions take place within the overall event, including announcements, repayment of debts, recognition of obligations, resolution of disputes, and many other customary activities.
Malagan carvings
Malagan carvings, now world-famous, are the wooden carvings which are created for use in malagan ceremonies. Traditionally these were burnt at the conclusion of the event; in modern times most are now retained, as the carving tradition is now only known by a few.

First time out with my new macro kit. I'm using an old Pentax 35-70mm zoom lens reversed on extension tubes. This gives me around 4:1 macro and lets me get very, very close! Very hard to use though, these shots are the result of a very steep learning curve at the butterfly farm today. However, I'm over the moon with the results. With practice I'm hoping to improve.
An imposing twelve-sided table
Estimate: PHP 1,200,000 - 1,400,000
First quarter, 20th century
Laguna
Narra and kamagong, kamagong inlays
83 x 224 x 224 cm (32 1/2 x 88 x 88 in)
Provenance:
Formerly from the family of Candelaria Moldes Santos, wife of Col. Leopoldo Santos, Philippine army and guerilla fighter during the Japanese occupation
Made in the Bilibid Prison which, from the early American colonial period until the end of the first half of the 20th century, manufactured high quality household and office furniture as part of its program to rehabilitate prisoners in preparation for their reintegration into mainstream society. Their outputs were arguably unrivaled in terms of craftsmanship, design and prolificity.
A rare 12-sided top, made of solid one-piece narra wood, framed by precious kamagong wood carved around the edges with acanthus gadrooning. To harvest wood with a girth this size - over 7 feet across when finished - the felled giant tree must be well over a hundred years old. Each conforming side of the frieze is carved with foliated scrolls centering an anthemion flower inscribed with C-volute. The heavy base is made of two crossed curule seat-shaped legs carved with foliated scrolls bordered by broad kamagong inlays, and undulate with winged rosettes, connected to a huge, turned central cylinder with flutings surmounted by scrolled arches and a finial. The lion’s paws with winged extensions embody immense strength and power.
Overall, the workmanship is quite remarkable, displaying great detailed carvings and decorations alluding to the Italian Neoclassical style that was popular in the early 19th century. A classic, timeless statement piece that will surely draw exclamations of surprise and admiration. Found in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

Inside, five years of no maintenance is taking its toll.
Five months ago, the lead was stolen from the roof. Carpets are saturated and moss grows on them.
You may have seen this place on the news if you are a West Yorkshire character. On the weekend of 14/15th Nov 2009, it was taken over by a group of community orientated squatters, and, after five years of lying derelict is having new life breathed in to it again. From the outside, this double decker Victorian school rises above the red brick back to back houses of Hyde Park, Leeds. For nearly a century it was the centre of a community, where thousands of children would have gone to school. However, a changing population, government policy and the belief that new schools are better for learning has meant it was closed, much against the wishes of the community. Now, things are changing, and changing very quickly.
Here is a site someone has set up to keep interested folk updated.
