There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

Put out my trusty old Nikon D700 & the Nikon 24-85 and took some shots at our trainstation.
Though I have a D750 and some newer Fuji DSLM's with more megapixel, tins and whistles, I still love the vibe and "magic" of the D700's pictures.
I walk to the front of the station, past the long and snaking lines of people waiting to check in for the Eurostar, then along the crowded and litter-strewn pavement to Euston, past the usual sights, people having breakfast in the various hotels, and homeless people sleeping in shop doorways. Welcome to Brexit Britain.
Euston is a brutalist carbuncle, which will soon be swapt away as did the neo-classical station in the 1960s. The concourse is packed with people waiting for the platforms to be announced for their trans. Most, I knew, would be waiting for the same train as I was, the half ten to Glasgow.
I had had 35 minutes to catch the train, and after the route march along the Euston Road, to stand around waiting until seven minutes before departure time, then when platform 13 was announced, there was a stampede as half the passengers moved to make their way to the slope down to the train.
Then we had to stand in line to show our tickets, and then allowed onto the platform to our 11 coach Pendalino.
I had paid upfront for a seat in 1st class, so had a reserved seat, a nice seat with a table with the huge picture window that would be my source of entertainment for the next two hours and twenty minutes.
I love travelling by train.
The doors closed on time, and we quickly accelerated out of the station, into the tunnels taking us into and through Camden, then beside the huge freight yards out of London to Watford and into the rolling countryside beyond.
All the way to Birmingham, the line shadows the older Grand Union Canal, and occasionally I could see hump-backed bridges, or waterside pubs, and all the way, narrow boats chugging along, going nowhere fast. Which the more I thought about seems a very sensible thing.
The train tilts round the sharp bends of the West Coast Main Line, through the Trent Valley, bypassing Birmingham to Stafford, then up to Crewe and Warrington.
In first class, we were fed and watered. Not with an at table meal, but a box of snacks and two passes of the coffee cart, which for two hours wasn't bad.
Next stop was Wigan; my destination.
Home of the pie.
And my home for the next 24 hours or so.
5 Image HDR/DRI using GND 0.9 soft + Lee Big Stopper for smoothed water and sky effects. Bedok Reservoir, Singapore.
It's been a long while since I've been to Bedok Reservoir for a sunrise. Too bad it drizzled soon after this was taken. Will head back there again one of these coming days.
Technically I didn't liked how the shot turns out to be - The screws on the floor aren't aligned parallel to the edges of the frame and thus this leads to the wooden platform not horizontally straight. Those minor details really bug me. It's not good enough, will have to try again.
Everyone loves a mystery! So what was Sydney Suburban S-set S 52 doing on No 1 Platform, Sydney Central Station today between 12.16 and 12.20pm?
No 1 Platform is usually reserved for the name trains - in the past trains like the Southern Aurora, the Spirit of Progress and the Newcastle Flyer used this platform. Now Platform One is the XPT's realm with trains for Brisbane and Melbourne departing and arriving; as well as the occasional tour trains. So for a lowly suburban train, and an S-set replete with graffiti, no less, to be on the platform road is a mystery indeed!
Our series of three shots show S-52 stationary in the platform and then slowly moving away.
Any ideas?

Piramal Pharma Solutions offer formulation based special pharmaceutical technology platforms to give the edge to our customers and also be used to non-infringe the processes while developing a generic formulation.
This is the part I am most dissatisfied with. The platform itself looks dull and barren, especially compared to the rest of the model. However, in life it is plain as well. I'm not sure which way I would prefer it to be.
Castle Tower - The octagonal upper tower from the time of the Renaissance castle (1607) - (1612) the square basement of the medieval castle tower (14th century) was put on and in the 18th Century provided with a balustrade platform.
Schlossturm - Das achteckige Turmoberteil aus der Zeit des Renaissanceschlosses (1607) - (1612) wurde dem quadratischen Sockelgeschoss des mitteralterlichen Burgturmes (14. Jahrhundert) angesetzt und im 18. Jahrhundert mit einer Balustradenplattform versehen.

View from the south tower of the Cathedral of Fulda
The baroque Stadtschloss City Palace was built in 1706-1714 by Johann Dietzenhofer as residence of the prince-abbots of Fulda and later the prince-bishops.
Architectural History
The first predecessor of the Fulda City Palace was a Abtsburg (abbot castle) that at the beginning of the 14th Century was built. Later on the castle was at the beginning of the 17th Century rebuilt into a palace resort, which was converted and expanded in the last quarter of the same century into a Renaissance chateau. This plant was by Johann Dietzenhofer at beginning of the 18th Century rebuilt in the Baroque style. When it was remodeled into a Kurprinzenresidenz (electoral prince residence) at beginning of the 19th Century, the castle was partially rebuilt in the style of late Classicism.
Abbot castle
Heertor (army gate) on the city side of the City Palace, from it one went by at the Abtsburg, out of the city to get to the "High Street" Frankfurt -Leipzig
The first predecessor of the Fulda city palace was a town castle, which was first mentioned as a new castle at the end of the term of office of Prince Abbot Henry V of Weilnau. The exact construction of the castle is not known, there are even only few traditions allowing conclusions to its floor plan.
Henry V probably took a quarrel with his Convention on the distribution of the monastery revenue as a reason to build his residence outside the monastery new. The monastery dean, who had already taken over many tasks within the abbot of the monastery, took over the former Abtswohnung (abbot residence) in a monastery on the site of today Domdechanei (cathedral deanery). Henry V chose for the castle a strategic location between the monastery and the town. He also paid attention to a location on a hill in order to defend the new castle easily. The castle represented the increased power of the abbots, it served therefore to represent and for a better defense.
After excavations between 1979 to 1982 in what is now the main courtyard and the ground below the present central building you know that the southwestern part of the rectangular fortress was located on today's Court of Honor. There one found grave retaining walls, the basement of a southern round tower (probably the keep) and fragments of the battlements and the grave bridge. The castle was a bastion according to existing sources, which simultaneously served the city's defense as the circular wall of the castle in the north at the same time was the city wall. Towards to the city the castle was securised with a circular wall, the above already mentioned tower and a moat.
Not later than in the 16th Century, the castle was secured to the southwest towards the city with three fortifications, and as an additional defense served a bailey. The castle had in the northwest a second gate in the city wall (Heertor), through which the access to the castle was secured without you needed to enter the city. The only known pictorial representation of this castle is available on a woodcut from 1550. On this the Ostvedute (east vedute) of the city is represented, one also recognizes the northeastern flank of the castle .
Palace buildings
First Castle
Garden front of the City Palace. The square base of the castle tower still stems from the Abtsburg, the octagonal upper part dates from the Renaissance castle
The increase in power and the related increased need for representation of the abbot was then at the beginning of the 17th Century probably the cause for the conversion of the residence to a palace.
Between 1607 and 1612 the castle was converted into a four-winged castle involving a few buildings of the old castle. So the Palas of Abtsburg with its foundations is still contained in the central projection of the present castle. The appearance of the by Winter built castle can only by three drawings (of 1669, 1704 and 1705) and the above-mentioned excavations being elicited. Accordingly, the four unequal three-story wings were in its interior forming an irregular rectangular courtyard. With two circular stair towers the transition of the side wings to the main wing was created, whose roof was higher than the other tracts. The building was kept architecturally simple. One exception was the gable decorations on the narrow sides and the outer facade of the main wing. It was flanked by two towers, and in its center was a terrace-like stem with gate entrance. In the two-story risalit above the gate entrance there was probably the chancel of the chapel. It had gables, as they were common in secular buildings, but laterally two pointed arch tracery windows were mounted, as they were common in religious buildings.
Renaissance Castle

As Abbot Bernard Gustav von Baden-Durlach in 1671 took office, he yet planned a year later the extension of the residence. He began the construction of a new two-story wing on the west side of the four-winged construction. However, this wing was only completed in 1681-1683, as Abbot Placidus von Droste the construction finished with plans of his own.
The goal was to build a presumably closed facade towards the animal or pleasure garden. Accordding to a drawing of 1705 this side tract, in the direction of the garden, was subordinated under the four-winged construction. The western tower was in this facade now placed in the middle.

A further extension began in 1706 under Prince-Abbot Adalbert I of Schleifras who commissioned Johann Dietzenhofer with the planning of the new palace. According to existing sources, Dietzenhofer designed thereby his first secular building. The foundation stone was laid on 26 March 1708. To the four-winged building was set another new wing, which was oriented towards the city. Thus, the Court of Honor was created, further on he rebuilt the rest of the castle in the style of Baroque. Since Dietzenhofer went back to Bamberg in 1711, it is likely that this work was largely completed at this time. Until 1713 the renovation work at the central section and in the north wings were finished. The interior work went on till the late of 1714. These included in particular the work on the main staircase and the stairways in the main courtyard (Ehrenhof), which were built by Hans Georg Mainwolff, former foreman of Dientzenhofer. The death of the abbot in 1714 had the consequence that the construction was halted for four years. In 1719 the work was completed, because yet in 1720 many artists were present for the interior of the castle.
The system now consisted of the three-storey wing and cross wing with its two to the east built-on, in the roof area lower wings. These side wings were joined by the slightly narrower and two-story buildings of the stables who completed the courtyard to the outside. In the northern wing the tower of the Renaissance castle remained. The main wing run over the entire width of the system and dominated the palace architecturally with its steep and high hipped roof and the little protruding central projection.
In the West formed two the main wing built-on two-story side wings the main courtyard, which was completed towards the Tuesday market by pillars and in between set grids. In the middle the pillars and the grids were towards the front gate vaulted to the inside. The facades have been kept simple, and the windows showed a narrow, profiled framing. They were doubly cranked in the upper corners and finished with trapezoidal keystones at lintel.
Kurprinzenresidenz (electoral prince residence)
The baroque building remained as described above largely. When Elector Wilhelm I of Hesse the Principality took over, he had 1817 and 1818 the wings on the residence garden remodelled in late Classicist style. He commissioned with that the Oberhofbaumeister (lord court architect) Johann Conrad Bromeis. The castle was the residence of the prince-elector.
Current usage
Today, parts of the City Palace do serve as the seat of the city government.
Many of the historic rooms can also be visited and are still almost in its original state. Moreover is a large number of works of art exhibited (including paintings, stucco, porcelain). A special room is the Hall of Mirrors (also known as house of mirrors): The former dressing room of the prince-abbot is packed with hundreds of small and large mirrors.

Built between the 11th and 18th centuries, the Old Town, the Lesser Town and the New Town speak of the great architectural and cultural influence enjoyed by this city since the Middle Ages. The many magnificent monuments, such as Hradcani Castle, St Vitus Cathedral, Charles Bridge and numerous churches and palaces, built mostly in the 14th century under the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles IV.
Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe in terms of its setting on both banks of the Vltava River, its townscape of burger houses and palaces punctuated by towers, and its individual buildings.
The Historic Centre represents a supreme manifestation of Medieval urbanism (the New Town of Emperor Charles IV built as the New Jerusalem). The Prague architectural works of the Gothic Period (14th and 15th centuries), of the High Baroque of the 1st half of the 18th century and of the rising modernism after the year 1900, influenced the development of Central Europe, perhaps even all European architecture. Prague represents one of the most prominent world centres of creative life in the field of urbanism and architecture across generations, human mentality and beliefs.
Prague belongs to the group of historic cities which have preserved the structure of their development until the present times. Within the core of Prague, successive stages of growth and changes have respected the original grand-scale urban structure of the Early Middle Ages. This structure was essentially and greatly enlarged with urban activities in the High Gothic period with more additions during the High Baroque period and in the 19th century. It has been saved from any large-scale urban renewal or massive demolitions and thus preserves its overall configuration, pattern and spatial composition.
In the course of the 1100 years of its existence, Prague’s development can be documented in the architectural expression of many historical periods and their styles. The city is rich in outstanding monuments from all periods of its history. Of particular importance are Prague Castle, the Cathedral of St Vitus, Hradćany Square in front of the Castle, the Valdgtejn Palace on the left bank of the river, the Gothic Charles Bridge, the Romanesque Rotunda of the Holy Rood, the Gothic arcaded houses round the Old Town Square, the High Gothic Minorite Church of St James in the Stark Mĕsto, the late 19th century buildings and town plan of the Nave Mĕsto.
As early as the Middle Ages, Prague became one of the leading cultural centres of Christian Europe. The Prague University, founded in 1348, is one of the earliest in Europe. The milieu of the University in the last quarter of the 14th century and the first years of the 15th century contributed among other things to the formation of ideas of the Hussite Movement which represented in fact the first steps of the European Reformation. As a metropolis of culture, Prague is connected with prominent names in art, science and politics, such as Charles IV, Petr Parléř, Jan Hus, Johannes Kepler, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Kafka, Antonín Dvořák, Albert Einstein, Edvard Beneš (co-founder of the League of Nations) and Václav Havel.

The Paparazzi Bots is a series of five autonomous robots each standing at the height of the average human. Comprised of multiple microprocessors, cameras, sensors, code and robotic actuators on a custom-built rolling platform, they move at the speed of a walking human, avoiding walls and obstacles while using sensors to move toward humans. They seek one thing, which is to capture photos of people and to make these images available to the press and the world wide web as a statement of culture's obsession with the “celebrity image” and especially our own images. The flash autonomously goes off, capturing people’s photos and elevating them to “celebrity” in a kind of momentary anointing by the robots. The robots also become celebrities through their association to the “famous people” at the exhibition that are captured by the Paparazzi Bots.
Each autonomous robot can make the decision to take the photos of particular people, while ignoring other humans in the exhibition, based on things such as, whether or not the viewers are smiling or the shape of their smile. When the robots identify a person or group they will automatically adjust their focus and use a series of bright flashes to record that moment.
Surveillance technologies straddle a delicate balance that we have in contemporary culture, where we are all photographed without our knowledge by cell phones, hidden cameras and sometimes “celebritized”. This is a kind of modern baptism with the camera flash and the spectacle of being the focus of the camera becoming a kind of techno anointing.
This work explores ideas surrounding the shifting territories of self and machine and how machines can manipulate the other (us) in a grand co-evolutionary dance of emerging robot-human relations.
The recent emergence of social networks and their ability to connect people through software prompts via the world wide web is a prime example of the co-evolution of humans and their intelligent machines. The fact that the software prompts exploit our social needs for connectivity and social space is so easily exploited in this new critical juncture in our emerging machine human relations.
This camera can track your head and be set to take a photo if you smile mildly, medium-smile or pull-a-muscle smile. When set to smile mode, they do seem to prefer even smiles rather than crooked smiles so here the machine is making determinations about issues of "beauty". I have considered holding a robot beauty contest as an addition to this work.
Carver Mead one of my heroes is at the center of research into neuromorphic engineering (electronics design using neuro-biological architectures) has been working for years on artificial eyes, with foveated vision and he was influential in the development of the chip set for the camera I use in this work.
Omron Corporation is currently working on sensors that will surmise your gender, age and state of happiness by further exploiting CCD (Charged Coupled Device) based visions systems coupled with software, so in the future, when your ATM has this sensor and changes the colors of the background to accommodate to your emotional state perhaps we will be lucky to have an extra $20. dispensed if we are feeling a bit down.
I can hardly wait for the pheromone sensors around the corner, which may allow our robot dogs and cats and hybrid pets, to know when we need more cuddle time.

I saw a girl wearing platform sandals like these in Penang, and I bought some for myself on Zappos last summer, thinking I would wear them when we went back to Malaysia.
Then we moved to Vancouver instead. But I hope to get lots of mileage out of them this summer. I never knew platforms were so comfortable! They won't be my last pair.
