Medo sem sentido

Happy Feathery Friday!!!

    

Lovely big juicy olives, that's not in question. What is noteworthy is the discount. I make it about 0.65%, give or take 1pence.

Has there ever been a more pointless deal in the history of food retailing?

Criminal masterminds behind this useless offer?

 

Tesco of course (Corstorphine Edinburgh). Every little pointless offer helps.

Now today's pointless trip to attempt to get the Collegiate school coaches before lockdown strikes. I found out i was stood at the wrong place and should've walked 2 minutes down the road. I'll probably be back next year, hopefully the school bus rota (if there is one) will get "jazzed" up so maybe some more unusual coaches turn up. I also saw the Ellie Rose Plaxton Excalibur! Ah, oh well, i'll be back after lockdown.

 

This is the only coach i got a photo of today and i'd rather have this then some coach i've already got twice. At least i'm in Anlaby for once, at least. I remember seeing loads of these NX panthers/elites a few years ago- what happened to them? They just vanished all of a sudden. Maybe they got slightly newer levantes? I wonder.

Seen approaching Hull Collegiate to pick up students to take them home on lockdown eve is SA11OBV, a 2011 Volvo B13R Plaxton Panther new to Parks of Hamilton which got sold in 2017 and has been a school bus ever since? I recall seeing this on RR a lot.

Why would someone be carrying a hatchet on a hike or picnic.

The roads around the US consulate in frankfurt are blocked off with

razor wire, considering that I could walk up to and around the wire one

has got to ask "what's the point?"

really a pointless picture. That's all

Another useless part of the Preston station new entrance, destined to gather leaves and litter I suspect.

My breakfast this morning :-)

 

Now is it pronounced "Skon" or "Skone"? A pointless question, I know.

Spread 141 – Pointless

 

25 August 2001

 

Nova Color acrylic paint, handmade papers, personal images, matt medium, black and white gesso, black and white charcoal pencil.

It seemed pointless to offer this near monotone in black and white. The color in this room neither distracts nor excites. Likewise the dramatic spare tall windows admit light without a view of anything meaningful. This is designed to be a quiet place at The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In my opinion the architects were entirely successful in communicating solemnity befitting the subject. www.google.com/search?client=safari&hl=en-us&sxsr... www.pcf-p.com/about/james-ingo-freed/

pointless 30 second exposure - the clouds weren't doing anything interesting

Part of my Aldeburgh trip.

Sitting on the window for years has been this dust collector. A selection of interlocking fluorescent plates. Today I removed them and packed them for a walk, during our packed lunch break I decided them to put them to use. A pointlessly beautiful thing

Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a screenshot of some footage I've done over the last couple of days.

 

I feel like this brickfilm will never get finished. T____T I definitely bit off more than I could chew.

More and more, I've been turning to my cell phone (Samsung S22 Ultra) to shoot pictures, rather than my DSLR. It amazes me how far this technology has advanced. I'd put the image quality of this thing in the same category as my late 2000s or early 2010s era DSLRs!

This bus, 419, transferred to Thames Travel during last year. Now it resides back at Carousel, making the transfer and the repaint somewhat pointless...

 

This bus had to take the place of a Tempo which broke down in Uxbridge, hence the short working.

Extract from a short film I shot and co-realized on the subject "Feminine/Masculine".

Being serviced is the Amtrak Phase 1 Heritage Unit after bringing in #313 a couple hours ago. In the morning it will lead The Missouri River Runner #314 to St. Louis.

After collecting my new lens somewhere in Zeeland. I went on to the famous ghost town of Doel. By the place's night security I was told that today, only 22 people stand their ground, right here where they have lived for so many years while being built in by industry and unsafely operating power plants. As the capitalistic management of the harbor and the local government tried to make them move out in order to create more harbor space which they technically never really needed, not even today. And for as long as nothing happens the rest of the village lays abandoned and dilapidated right where it is, partly vandalized and sprayed over with graffiti. Some of which are works of art, but mostly pointless tags. My best hopes and wishes go with the inhabitants still fighting for their rights to live where they always have, without accepting no-good capitalists to tell them what to do.

A poster I designed for a group art show here in Milwaukee. The show is about fake propaganda art.

The moon this afternoon, closer than 362,000 km from Earth. I noticed that it was time for the Supermoon so I walked up the hill at home for a quick snap of the moon from behind the trees.

Another shot of the long pier at Tologa Bay. Same treatment as the shots before.

This shot isnt symmetrical at all but I like the lamps as a counterweight for this asymmetry.

The blocked back door of an old abandoned ambulance.

I don`t like the recent changes to Flickr either, but is a blackout protest by the minority going to pursuade Flickr to go back to the previous version, after they have spent many hours, and no doubt several hundreds and thousands of pounds developing the new engine? No. Not even an army of Golliwogs can change that........

_8_14586__8_14587__8_14588_Small - Mucking around with the Dandelion flower pot stuff also done three shots of a blade of grass, like you do.

Then I thought I would present it in a sort of contemporary manner.

 

Say what you like, I swore at it a few times, but sort of liked the end product

Running right on schedule, Amtrak 156 (Phase I) heritage locomotive leads the daily #4 Southwest Chief through Leland, Illinois with about 65 miles left to reach Chicago, the final destination for this train.

For Amtrak's 40th anniversary in 2011, four P42DC locomotives received a special version of Phase I through Phase IV paint schemes. From January through April 2011, Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops outside Indianapolis repainted the units and sent them to Chicago, where they were cycled into regular service. This was the second repainted locomotive representing Amtrak’s Phase I paint scheme with the “Pointless arrow.”

I'm not doing a 365.

Realistically I know I'll fail, although I've done well so far with an 'uncommitted' 365.

I have a rough week ahead and I'm predicting a block of enthusiasm and creativity.

Also, the trouble with 365's is you get ya rather pointless shots like this.

 

On the other hand, taking this I learnt:

 

1. That there is a gratutious little slut whore inside of me who isn't afraid to show a bit of leg.

2. That Auto Correct Function on PSP can make you look weird and its best to tidy up the sharpness and stuff the long way around.

3. I suck at flash photography. (This was a test shot without my new flashgun). The rest were lame.

4. Catch lights in eyes are a joy.

5. If you are going to take a picture involving your teddy bear mug, at least scrub the tea stains off the outside. Its the little details that let a photo down. (see messed up collars in most of my previous pictures)

6. Manual Mode on the camera isn't as scary as I thought.
