Project 365 07/11/2017: This is one of the compact fluorescent bulbs I remember buying on clearance at a hardware store in 2001. It's been on a lamp, ceiling fixture, then back to desk lamp. Now it's on the porch fixture and has been for at least ten years. It's not as bright as it used to be but amazingly at 16-years old it still lights up.
I rather like the interior which is both well put together (no rattles) and pretty good quality. It is however filthy and could do with a freshen up. This will be addressed shortly.
The initial assessment went quite well. The underside is in very good condition and the previous advisories of a damp steering rack and corroded front brake lines don't look to have worsened. Both sides will probably clean up fine.
Having driven it another 20 miles or so we discovered the thermostat is probably stuck open, which accounts for the temperature gauge I thought was non-functional. It does actually start to read when stationary, but cools straight off again when on the move. Annoyingly thermostat replacement is a cambelt-off job on these, however I have a work-around for this, which involves installing a thermostat in one of the top-hoses. Apparently this is a common fix on Rover 75s too.
The cool running, very short runs and long periods standing all appear to have contributed to condensation and thus mayonnaise in the underside of the oil cap. I was a bit concerned this could be a symptom of head gasket failure, however the coolant is fine and it's exhibiting no other symptoms of HGF. I'll keep an eye on it.
Initially it ran very well this morning, but after 15 miles or so it started to hesitate and misfire. We hooked up the diagnostic gear and a few codes came up. They relate to the EGR valve, crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. We managed to clear them and remove the EML, but the crankshaft sensor fault kept returning.
On the cosmetics front we tried and failed to remove the dent in the rear bumper (a job for a warmer day) and my neighbour tested some wax treatment on the rear 3/4 panel. We concluded something stronger is required!
So what's the plan? With the sensors being relatively inexpensive I'm going to get one of each and see what difference they make. I'm aware the actual problems could lie elsewhere, but this seems a reasonably inexpensive place to start. I'll also look at some options for the thermostat work-around. I'll not get a lot of time on this over the next few weeks, so it'll be a bit of a slow burn. I'll collect some parts, start to tackle the interior as and when I can and then do some fitting up in a few weeks time. Watch this space...
This weekend you'll be gifted the chance to see the other great beings who infiltrated the matoran universe, and the guises they donned.

I was on a lunchtime walk solo today, and zipping along past the golf course I noticed this leaf in the most amazing back light.
It looks like some kind of crazy emboss filter had been applied to it, so it got snapped. :)
Picture the Holidays Day 6: Every Little Thing.
I don't think this is exactly what Tracey was looking for, and I will keep looking for that.
But here, anyway, are details of the project I am working on right now -- creating photo calendars for holiday gifts, using the Shutter Sisters calendar template. I got the printing and cutting figured out yesterday, and the pages look gorgeous. It turns out, however, that the full calendar is too thick for the CD case, and if I take the inside out of the CD case, it slides around. So I'm working on solving that problem now. I'm hoping that if I can iron out the kinks of this project this year, perhaps next year I can sell a few.
A small project consisting of setting up a shoot with random passersby and getting them to pull a face.
All participants where informed of the project and asked if they wanted to be a part. To see the rest of the project you can visit cambrils.tumblr.com/
Lighting is provided by a softbox umbrella camera right and a bare strobe for hair light.
This week I decided to participate in the EtsyMetal Project Runway Challenge.
"Make an "avant garde" piece of jewelry using a work of art as your inspiration. If you have access to a child and want to collaborate on something, go for it!"
I was going to use a child's artwork as an inspiration but then I stumbled upon "Small Picture of Firtrees" by Paul Klee. The color scheme and the assymetrical rectangles completely captivated me. So I made an embroidery piece using a similar color combination and set it in an oxidized copper frame. I made the cord to hang the pendant by tearing and stitching pieces of fabric. The final piece ended up reminding me more of a Modrian than Klee but I guess this can happen :-)
Bit of an obvious shot, but I've got a cold so I'm not feeling creative.
It's my old man's birthday so we had a Chinese banquet takeaway and it was fab.
Here is the presenation of the cake with the now obligatory rocket candle!
Kiev, 2013.
This image is part of my "doors" project.
I decider to concentrate on very common and simple everyday use things, doors. But I look for interesting doors.
The clocks have gone forward and it is Tulip Sunday in the Wellington Botanic Gardens. I went to enjoy the spring with a few members of my Momentum Meetup group.

Qutab Minar is a soaring, 73 m-high tower of victory, built in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak . The tower has five distinct storeys, each marked by a projecting balcony and tapers from a 15 m diameter at the base to just 2.5 m at the top. The first three storeys are made of red sandstone; the fourth and fifth storeys are of marble and sandstone. At the foot of the tower is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, the first mosque to be built in India.
Hoje é dia do amigo e nada melhor que representar esse dia com uma foto do melhor amigo do homem. Esse é o Leleco, que adora chupar chupeta. Pode?
Eu queria aqui citar um por um das pessoas que se tornaram especiais pra mim através dessa galeria. Mas eu seria injusta, porque com certeza esqueceria alguém. Mas quero desejar a todos vocês um FELIZ DIA DO AMIGO. Que o jardim da amizade possa florescer cada vez mais, com flores naturais, verdadeiras e coloridas.
Beijo

March 31 - Project: Thinking about putting this on canvas for a house porch display. Hoping it is fun to look at for hidden stars! Rather artsy, I guess!
I shot this with my cellphone and the light of a table lamp, with daylight from the window behind her.
10 / 50 A few thoughts on this project
Rooftops again? Hell yeah.
I've always been really attracted to rooftops and whenever I have the chance to go on top of one I take it with a smile.
Today's the tenth day of this project, the first milestone of it.
So I spent most of the day thinking about what I did for the last 10 days and trying to figure out how to bring out the best out of this next 40 days.
Here's some conclusions :
- I'm not planning ahead of days, making contacts with people and deciding locations beforehand: gotta chance that.
- I'm starting to have shitloads of problems with my flash transmitters (one broke the day before I started and the other one last week) but the new ones are on their way and will get here soon.
- I'm not getting used to the 50mm lens alone. The way I see things is pretty much always in super-wide-angle or very close and this medium standard is giving me the hardest times.
- I'm taking way too many self portraits
A part from this, things are going pretty well, I'm finally starting to predict how the light is gonna look like even before setting it up, and I think I'm starting to understand color temperature a little better.
I was dreaming of NAILING this project from the get go, but looks like it's gonna be a long journey.
"What's all this rant about? Totally unrelated to the photo" you might say.
Yes. And no.
I booked a shooting with a girl for tomorrow and today I spent most of the afternoon experimenting with 2 flashlights and natural light, a little preparation for tomorrow if you will.
And whenever I was taking a pause, I was sitting on that spot smoking a cigarette and thinking about what I just wrote.
Exactly like this.
Ten done, JUST 40 to go :)

I swear food like fries, chicken tenders, and hotdogs taste way better at a ballpark. Even though I sat at the nose bleed seats I like the view of the whole field. I went to the game with most of my close guy friends and even though we lost I still had a great time.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
