This shot shows the allegorical figure of 'Progress', 14 feet in height, atop the central dome of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. She carries a copper gilt flaming torch in her right hand, and her left hand holds a winged wheel which rests at her side. (Source: Christopher London, Bombay Gothic, IBH, 2002. ISBN 8175083298)
Panoramic view of work in progress redeveloping Halifax Bus Station. The small temporary facility can be seen beyond the hoardings.
The Twin Ports region gets visitors from all over the world, but while there are frequent visitors from a handful of companies there’s still a unique arrival here and there. Case in point, we were treated to the Vectis Progress which had arrived with a cargo of structural steel that came in from Antwerp, Belgium before departing in ballast for her next destination of Hamilton, Ontario farther down the Great Lakes system. Delivered to the Carisbrooke Shipping company in October 2012 from a yard in China, she was quite a nice change from the FedNav and Polsteam vessels we usually get.
work in progress, feb 14
one day, I will get to this point and say it's done. but for now, I just *need* to add one of my transfers to it.
I have GOT to get more cardio in. But this doesn't entirely reflect my effort, because I've been doing high-intensity intervals. (One-minute bursts at roughly 95 percent of maximum heart rate.)
I had a session with a personal trainer on Thursday (thanks, Jen!) and she wants me to do free weights instead of the weight machines, so I guess that won't be reflected on these reports.

I started working on this bodybuilder a few days ago. I need it as a base for later work. Thinking about some MASSIVE avatars like ogres, orcs, demons and what not. It also might becoming handy for a new kind of armor in my line of goods. And statues! Well we´ll see.
I´m studying lots of anatomy pictures to get the look of the muscles as realistic as possible. It still needs finetuning ...and arms and feet.
PENIS?!
I´m not sure about that part... x]]
For those of you who have been following my "Project 365" (although I'm way behind on adding pics), you may remember that I posted a picture on January 3, 2011, of a bikini I bought with the goal of losing enough weight to fit into it "by summer."
Guess what? Summer's here, and here is the progress I've made so far: In April, the weather was getting warmer; and I decided it was time to get serious about my weight loss goals. In addition to watching what I eat (especially elminating as many carbs as possible after lunchtime) and exercise, I learned about a company (AdvoCare) that sells nutritional supplements that noy only help maintain wellness but assist with weight loss in a healthy way (the only way I wanted to do it).
On April 12, 2011 (left), I weighed in at 172 lbs and didn't dare think of posting that picture the way I looked in the bikini. But just 6 weeks later on May 28, 2011 (right), I had lost 13 lbs and weighed 159. As of today (June 8, 2011), I've lost 2 more lbs and weigh 157--just 7 lbs away from my goal! In another month to 6 weeks, I should be there! :)
This is me on a typical work day. I remember being a kid and spending days on end without a shirt on, much to my mother's frustration. Until the age of 12 or 13 I would actually bring a pair of blue jeans to church so I could run out to the car and change out of dress pants immediately. For a couple years I wore a clip-on tie to church, for easy removal.
Now I'm comfortable in my dry-cleaned shirt, nice slacks, and dress shoes. Thankfully my specialty doesn't encourage tie wearing.
So, I sit back and wonder sometimes, did I betray that little guy who steadfastly didn't want to grow up? Is this progress? Would I rather be one of those "cool" people who get to go to work in comfortable pants and geek-themed, humorous T-shirts? Would it be so bad to have a half dozen tattoos and some piercings?
Honestly, I don't know. This is me. It works for now, and I'm happy. Still, it doesn't mean I don't wonder sometimes.
"Take a 'practice makes progress' attitude, rather than practice makes perfect. While perfection might be the goal, celebrating progress is much like aiming for a personal best," writes Derrin Cramer in her new book, 'The Beginner's Guide to Life on the Bright Side'.

A decorative cast-iron bollard blocks the progress of a rusty old truck on a rail that goes nowhere. Puts me in mind of something...
Thomas Crawford
Marble
1863
East entrance, Senate wing
U.S. Capitol
The sculptural pediment over the Senate entrance on the U.S. Capitol's east front is called Progress of Civilization. The center figure is America, who stands with an eagle at her side and the sun at her back. On the right, a woodsman, hunter, Indian chief, Indian mother and child, and Indian grave represent the early days of America. On the left the diversity of human endeavor is suggested by the soldier, the merchant, the two youths, the schoolmaster and child, and the mechanic. Completing this side of the tympanum are sheaves of wheat, symbolic of fertility, and an anchor, symbolic of hope; these elements are in contrast with the grave at the opposite end of the tympanum.
The figures were designed by American sculptor Thomas Crawford in Rome, Italy, in 1854. They were carved at the Capitol in 1855-1859 from Lee, Massachusetts, marble and erected in 1863.
The entire pediment is 80 feet long, its height at the center is approximately 12 feet, and the length of the sculpture is approximately 60 feet.
The sculptor, Thomas Crawford (1814-1857), also created the Statue of Freedom atop the dome, the designs of bronze Senate and House doors, and the figures of Justice and History above the Senate bronze doors.

Title: Dress in Progress
Year: 2015
Medium: Textiles and Digital Photography
Size: Dimensions Variable
Description:
I chose to create this dress to bring my love of fashion and photography together. The images on the right side are the original photographs for photos I later printed as polaroids. The specific photos I chose represent striking colors and textures that inspired me to create a dress from them.
remember the panoramic view i did couple weeks back of our church in it's old setting > it's here
this is what it looked like earlier this week from about the same viewing point. the preachers stand is down, the hall empty of chairs and stuff and the organ has been disassembled and stored. the builders have come in and started their demolision all over the place, removing fixtures, floors and ceilings.
(i uploaded a larger images this time for all the pixel peepers (whom will notice the stichting flaws of course!, i need to a) read up on doing this properly without a panoramic head or B) buy a panoramic head (yeah right...))
