Scanned my second and hopefully last roll of damaged Kodachrome. This is one of the less damaged shots from the roll. It is still beaten up, just like the equipment it was taken with, and the equipment behind the lens. I have one roll of Kodachrome 25 that is waiting for me to pick it up and I have three rolls of Kodachrome 64 in the fridge. Very sad that I have to say goodbye to this stellar film. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to shoot with it yet, but I know that at least one of those rolls, probably two, are going into my Leica.
I want to space those three rolls out over the next year since I am not likely to get any more of it. I want to say goodbye to Kodachrome in a dignified way. Dwayne's is stopping processing for Kodachrome on December 30th, 2010 so I have to finish before December of next year. Hopefully I can give this legendary film a send off it deserves.
Snow falls on a desolated part of El Alto.
El Alto is the sister city of La Paz, right next to it but above, in the altiplano. While La Paz expands downwards along the valley, with the richest population leaving in the lowest parts, El Alto is growing further from it, peopled by poor immigrants from the highlands.

New paint software!!! Incredible stuff for $29.99 US dollars. It is head over heal better than Corel painter--I mean significantly better! If you cannot see this in full size, I uploaded this to my website so you can see the incredible textures you can create with this software: www.stantonphotostudios.com/p602592670/h19453a4#h19453a4. This is a photo that I traced... On the picture at my website I have updated it a bit further
If you have access to shopping from amazon.com, here is the link to this software: www.amazon.com/Smith-Micro-Software-Inc-ARDHBX2/dp/B001AE...
On this picture the only textured are of interest is the center of the Calla lily where the pollen is. So if you can zoom in, go for that area. Also, this software allows you to make the clone colors metallic--which I did here for the center and some of the white. For $30, this is a fascinating piece of software if you like to paint. It has gazillions of features, many significantly better than Corel or other painter software.
Have a great day/night!
An ivory head of Santo Domingo de Guzman
ESTIMATE: PHP 550,000 - 600,000
18th century
Manila
Ivory, wood, glass eyes, polychrome
18 x 11 x 13 cm (7 x 4 1/4 x 5 in)
Provenance:
From the heirs of Dr. José P. Bantug
Separately carved ivory heads were intended to be attached to a sculpted saint’s body, which could take several forms: de tallado, a fully carved and finely detailed wooden body painted in organic polychrome to create a complete sculpture; de gozne or mannequin-type wooden body with articulated limbs; or a bastidor-type structure consisting of a half-length carved wooden torso with a wooden slat framework below, functioning like a petticoat and also fitted with articulated limbs. The latter two forms were designed for de vestir sculptures, meant to be dressed in real, often elaborately embroidered garments. Once completed, these santo images were installed in church altar niches or used as processional figures. Affluent families likewise commissioned santo images for private devotion within their homes.
This ivory head represents Santo Domingo de Guzmán. It features an elongated, narrow face with softly rounded yet prominent cheeks and a refined jawline. The almond-shaped eyes are slightly wide and contemplative, retaining their original, well-integrated glass elements. Heavy lids rest beneath high-arched eyebrows, enhancing the introspective expression. The nose is slender and elongated, characteristic of Baroque devotional sculpture. The beard is deeply undercut and stylized in controlled, layered curls, while the small mouth with gently fleshy lips conveys a calm, inward-looking demeanor. The overall aesthetic is light and refined. A circular cavity beneath the head confirms that it was designed to be mounted onto a wooden body. Both its construction and stylistic characteristics point to early 18th-century (1700–1740) production in Manila workshops, where highly skilled Chinese artisans (Sangleys) collaborated with indigenous Filipino carvers. During the early to mid-1700s, sculptors increasingly emphasized subtle naturalism, evident here in the slightly parted lips – revealing carved teeth when viewed at an angle – and in the delicately indicated Adam’s apple (laryngeal prominence). This ivory head represents a superb example of Manila workshops at their technical peak, during a period when the colonial settlement was recognized as a global center of religious art.
Possibly due to pecuniary considerations or the unavailability of ivory of sufficient size, the uppermost portion of the head, including the finely carved tonsure, was fashioned separately from wood and surmounted onto the ivory. Based on strict classical proportions, the head would have originally belonged to a sculpture measuring approximately 36 to 42 inches in height.
Santo Domingo de Guzman or Saint Dominic (1170-1221) was a Castilian Catholic priest and founder of the Dominican Order. He and his order are traditionally credited with spreading and popularizing the rosary. The mark on the ivory forehead indicates the former presence of a star appliqué, one of the saint’s principal attributes, symbolizing the light of holiness and divine wisdom.
This ivory head has remained in the possession of the Bantug family, passed down through successive generations from their distinguished collection, beginning with the patriarch Dr. José P. Bantug (1884–1964), physician, public health educator, and author.

El cisne común (Cygnus olor), también llamado cisne mudo y cisne blanco , es una especie de ave anseriforme de la familia Anatidae propia del Hemisferio Norte. Su denominación científica es Cygnus olor, donde tanto cygnus como olor significan "cisne" en griego clásico y en latín, respectivamente. El cisne mudo debe su nombre a que no emite los fuertes trompetazos de los otros congéneres, aunque sí emite ciertos sonidos que lo descalificarían de mudo.
Esta especie presenta el segundo tamaño del género Cygnus; solo el cisne trompetero es un poco mayor. Se le distingue de los otros cisnes blancos por tener el pico de color amarillo anaranjado a rojo. Los otros lo tienen negro y amarillo. También es el único cisne blanco al que le crece una carúncula negra sobre la base del pico.
No hay dimorfismo sexual en el plumaje. Los machos son más grandes, y su envergadura alar es de 2,4 metros. La carúncula negra sobre el pico se desarrolla más en el macho.

UN Women Fiji Multi-Country Office (MCO) was proud to participate in the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership (PHP) Meeting held 2-3 October in Suva, Fiji, which brought together the humanitarian community – including government, UN agencies, civil society organisations, social movements and international and national non-government organisations (INGOs and NGOs) – to share best practices and strengthen localisation of preparedness and response activities.
UN Women Fiji MCO Representative Aleta Miller spoke at the meeting’s opening session. UN Women also facilitated a joint session with Diverse Voices for Action and Equality (DIVA for Equality) to promote the visibility of gender and protection actors in humanitarian response – those who may not always be part of formal humanitarian structures but do vital work in their communities. Experiences were shared by national civil society members from across the Pacific region including FemLINKPacific/Transcend Oceania, Pacific Rainbows Advocacy Network (PRAN), Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation (FDPF), Women United Together Marshall Islands (WUTMI) and DIVA for Equality.

Con elementos de la vida del propio autor, Viaje de un largo día hacia la noche gira en torno a los conflictos de una familia norteamericana quebrada por las frustraciones y los vicios. Mary, una mujer presa de una adicción imposible de desarraigar, está casada con James Tyrone, un actor que ha pasado su vida haciendo giras sin poder formar un verdadero hogar y llevando frecuentemente a su esposa, que de joven soñaba con ser monja o concertista de piano, como acompañante. Ambos tienen dos hijos, Edmundo y Jimmy, quienes consideran que la tacañería de su padre es la causa de muchos de los males de la familia. Edmundo muestra talento para la poesía pero está gravemente enfermo, mientras que Jimmy, obligado por su padre a dedicarse al teatro, no logra encaminarse y gasta todo el dinero que cae en sus manos en bebida.
La obra transcurre desde la mañana hasta la noche del mismo día y muestra las expectativas que tiene la familia de que Mary se recupere, expectativas que se van frustrando a medida que pasan las horas. Y mientras tanto, van saliendo a la luz tragedias del pasado, resentimientos, decepciones y demostraciones de afecto, a pesar de todo, leer más...

I remember talking to a dear friend of mine, and we both were in the same Biology class, and she was doing a painting that included lungs, and we noticed that the oak trees around our old school looked like lungs (bronchii, if i remember correct), and it's pretty interesting because trees are sort of like the earths lungs, they take in the CO2 in the air and purify it, unlike human lungs that take in oxygen, and release CO2. Idk random story but, everytime i see thoes trees it reminds me of the conversation with my friend. :D

Investigators from Scotland Yard arrived in Islamabad on Jan. 4 to help the Pakinasti authorities on the investigation of the death of Benazir Bhutto. Rumours have surrounded the exact causes of her death, as a man shot her while she was standing in her car, waving through the sunroof, then a suicide bomber exploded himself. The oficial version concluded she banged her head against the sunroof due to the shock of the explosion, but other witnesses (including the person who washed her body) said she had been shot. Her party, the PPP, has called for a UN investigation but so far, president Musharraf has rejected this request and asked instead for the help of the UK.
On Jan.5, the Scotland Yard team together with the Pakistani officials went to Liaqat Bagh, the park in Rawalpindi in front of which the bombing occured, to be briefed on the events. The scene itself, however, has nothing to reveal in terms of material evidence as it's a busy street opened to traffic.
Here, a Pakistani official shows the English investigator the impatcts of the explosion on a nearby wall.

Oggettistica in Dung Paper con Carta riciclata in cacca d'elefante
ECO MAXIMUS è nata per produrre materiale per cancelleria e regalo da una materia molto "originale". Incredibilmente infatti, i prodotti di carta, totalmente
hand-crafted, sono fatti al 75% di sterco di elefante e per un 25% di carta riciclata.
PERCHE' ECO MAXIMUS ESISTE
Carta in cacca d'elefante
Lo Sri Lanka è la casa a di un decimo dei 40.000 elefanti Asiatici selvaggi, elefanti che in Sri Lanka non vengono uccisi per le loro zanne; non sono uccisi per la carne, poichè nessuno mangia la carne di elefante; non sono uccisi per la pelle, poichè non vi è mercato per non esiste industria della pelle di elefante.
Sono semplicemente uccisi perchè interferiscono con l'agricoltura. Dal 1950, è probabile che più di 4.000 elefanti siano stati abbattuti nel conflitto tra l'uomo e l'elefante.
L'elefante è senza spazio in Sri Lanka. La maggior parte delle aree protette abitate dagli elefanti sono piccole, meno di 1.000 kmq, mentre gli elefanti, possono spostarsi per centinaia di chilometri nel corso di una stagione. Il loro appetito è enorme e gli elefanti e le persone non possono vivere insieme dove l'agricoltura è la forma dominante di utilizzo del suolo, a meno che il danno che causano ai contadini possa essere ricompensato.
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Non ci sono facili soluzioni per risolvere il conflitto! Molto dipenderà da come i contadini percepiranno il valore dell'elefante per fermarne l'uccisione ingiustificata. Molti si stanno convincendo che l'unico modo per convivere pacificamente passi attraverso l'utilizzo dell'elefante come una risorsa sostenibile economica. Lo sterco di elefante è un prodotto finito ed è anche una merce che è liberamente disponibile a in qualunque momento (mediamente ogni elefante adulto ne produce 180-200 kg al giorno) e, fino ad ora, nessuno aveva trovato alcun utilizzo.
Il progetto di Maximus per fabbricare la carta dallo sterco di elefante può aiutare la percezione dei contadini sul valore economico dell'elefante nelle aree di conflitto. Il progetto, cominciato nel 1997, ha prodotto con successo e lanciato sul mercato ciò che è conosciuto come "carta di pachiderma".
In questo modo "la cacca di elefante" prende la forma di quaderni, fogli di carta, scatole, borse ecc. La sola limitazione è l'immaginazione!
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Questi prodotti sono divenuti estremamente popolari fra la popolazione locale ed i turisti stranieri. Anche se lo sterco di elefante non può risolvere il crescente conflitto uomo-elefante, il suo uso a beneficio dei contadini che soffrono andrà certamente ad innalzare il livello di tolleranza di questi ultimi. Se l'elefante sarà visto come un valore economico per contribuire significativamente al benessere delle persone, le stesse non ameranno vederlo scomparire dalla loro area. In conclusione, tutti gli sforzi sarebbero futili senza il sostegno delle comunità locali.

You look at this and may wonder at a glance … what is it, what kind of car or you see abstract. I believe it’s a Ferrari not sure what model or year. I would like to think the designers of these beautiful automobiles want all of us to study and appreciate all their wonderful curves. Then again this image is a bit abstract with shapes, tones, lines and a bit of reality.
Taking images of shinny cars in a parking lot is not all that easy. EVERTHING reflects in the shinny surface and adds or maybe detracts for the intent of the image. If you look closely you will see letter from business signs as well the parking lot markings. I did PS out all the actual dust on the car to pull off the continual graduating tones of light and curves. You are probably right if you call me a perfectionist but I believe good photos are all about the details besides the subject itself. My wireless timer is a huge help in keeping me out of the reflections, my 1st trial shot bared this out.
Having a 30" monitor is awesome for web development. I have TextMate for editing the PHP/HTML and CSSEdit for, er, editing the CSS running side by side along with a couple of terminal windows for viewing the apache logs and my FTP and MySQL apps all on screen.
On the other screen I have the various browsers and previews of the code.

Sobranceiros à bonita vila de Penacova, o conjunto de Moinhos de Gavinhos é um local especial, pois sobressaem na paisagem, acompanhados por uma imponente imagem do Imaculado Coração de Maria..
Daqui o panorama pela zona envolvente é fantástico, na companhia destes moinhos de vento e de uma imagem do Imaculado Coração de Maria, como que a abençoar os ventos, a vila e o trabalho dos moinhos.
Três destes Moinhos estão ainda em condições suficientes de funcionamento, contudo apenas um funciona hoje em dia, pela mão do único moleiro da aldeia de Gavinhos, moendo o milho, o trigo e o centeio, que durante tanto tempo abasteceu a região e distribuiu para muitas outras.
Vale a pena visitar o Moinho em funcionamento e observar o árduo trabalho do moleiro, e o toda a dinâmica da estrutura, numa arte que se quer mantida e preservada em tempos futuros.
Desde o neolítico superior que existem instrumentos para moer os cereais. Tratam-se das elementares mós barquiformes. Encontram-se muitas em Portugal e até há bem pouco tempo eram usadas para fazer papas de carolo: mistura de vários ingredientes moídos, como milho, açúcar, leite, sal e canela.
Ao longo da história a Peninsula Ibérica foi enriquecendo culturalmente com a passagem dos povos ocupantes: com a chegada dos romanos apareceram os moinhos manuais circulares . Este sistema evoluiu e apareceram mais tarde, uns outros de construção mais leve, a que se adaptou um sistema de dois paus que permitia manobrar a mó mais facilmente . Estes foram os derradeiros moinhos manuais porque estava na altura de passar a usar as forças da natureza.
Os árabes introduziram a entrosga (principio da roda dentada) e conseguiram assim criar um engenho que sobreviveu até aos dias de hoje... estamos a falar dos nossos conhecidos moinhos de vento e azenhas.

Casa que va pertànyer al gremi de teixidors de veles. És un edifici construït entre 1758 i 1763 caracteritzat pels seus magnífics esgrafiats, amb figures d'atlants i cariàtides, garlandes i angelots, i pilars i entaulaments simulats. A la cantonada de Via Laietana hi ha una fornícula amb una imatge de la Immaculada, obra de Joan Enrich. Va ser restaurat entre 1928-32 sota la direcció de Jeroni Martorell. Al mateix temps, Ferran Serra va realitzar els esgrafiats de la plaça de Sant Francesc, imitant els originals del segle XVIII.

Die Lachmöwe ist mit einer Länge von 38 cm und einer Flügelspannweite von 91 cm die kleinste Möwe. Sie hat lange, schlanke, spitze Flügel mit einem auffälligem zur Flügelspitze hin verbreitertem weißen Keil am Vorderrand des Handflügels. Ihre artkennzeichnende schokoladenbraune Gesichtsmaske trägt die Lachmöwe nur zur Brutzeit. Im Winter haben Lachmöwen einen weißen Kopf mit einigen graubraunen Flecken. Jungvögel bekommen diese Gesichtsmaske erst im dritten Jahr. Sie ist zugleich Ausweis für den Zugang zu den Brutkolonien. Nur Lachmöwen mit Gesichtsmasken werden dort geduldet.
English:
The black-headed gull is with a length of 38 cm and a wingspan of 91 cm, the smallest gull. She has long, slender, pointed wings,with a conspicuous towards the wing tip widened white wedge at the front edge of the hand wing. The species characteristic chocolate-brown face mask has the black-headed gull only in the breeding season. At the winter black-headed gulls have a white head with some gray-brown spots. Young birds get that face mask until the third year. It is both a badge for access to breeding colonies. Only black-headed gulls with face masks are tolerated there.
I forgot the name of this plant - I'll have to go back and find it. There was a name plate next to it, I should've taken a picture. Rhodo...something. Rhodochondria... ?

alla scoperta della "Galleria Henry" con gli amici di ventura Anna ed Ivo!
E' questa la più importante struttura della miniera di Planu Sartu (1865). Consentiva il trasporto dei minerali su rotaia dalle fronti di produzione alle laverie.
E' ubicata alla quota di m. 50 slm, appena al di sopra dell'abitato di Buggerru, e attraversa per circa un Km l'altipiano di Planu Sartu.
Le sue imponenti dimensioni furono determinate dall'impiego (1892) di una locomotiva a vapore che, grazie ad una avveniristica rete ferroviaria, soppiantò in breve tempo i lenti ed onerosi trasporti con i muli.
La sua unicità è costituita dal ripetuto rapporto con la falesia sul mare, attraverso piccole gallerie e camminamenti scolpiti nella roccia che consentono viste suggestive della costa a strapiombo e panorami mozzafiato.
La lotta dei battellieri di Carloforte , che trasportarono il minerale della miniera di Malfidano (oltre a quello delle principali miniere da Monteponi a Ingurtosu etc.) che noi chiamiamo Buggerru direttamente dal nome del Borgo nato attorno alla miniera, certo fu la prima manifestazione di sciopero organizzato che avveniva in Sardegna.
I battellieri lottarono contro la volontà della Direzione della miniera di abbassare il prezzo del nolo per il trasporto del minerale: uno sciopero di 12 giorni con manifestazioni anche di fronte alla casa del rappresentante, un certo Jacomy, della Società Mineraria Malfidano.

This street character is someone I ran across before, a day I didn’t have my camera and missed him in action and always swore to capture him one day. The man is a one man comedy show with a surreal sense of humour. He doesn’t do it for money or anything; he is just constantly amused by the world as he sees it. His constant prop is the handset part of an old phone which he constantly makes calls on!
This day he is tagging along with the Legalise Cannabis protestors who marched through Dublin in a fragrant cloud of protest, he doesn’t need what they propose, that’s for sure he is naturally out there.
The day I didn’t have a camera, he was using the same junk plastic handset as if it had a built in camera like a modern cell phone to photograph a Rolls Royce parked on the street and snapping shots of his friend another street dweller posing as if he owned it. Sighs .. Never forget a camera.
