The HUGS project is a non profit organization that sends care packages to service men and women overseas. Their mission is "to give a HUG to every American serving in the Middle East."
Their most pressing need is Marines and National Guard members who have been sent to Afghanistan (where the worst of the fighting is taking place). They are stationed deep in enemy territory where we haven't been before. The only water and supplies they have is what they can carry in on their backs. When they finally get a break and can receive mail from home, we want them to find care packages overflowing with snacks, hygiene items, DVD's and CD's, Oreos, SOCKS!! and other needed items. But, most of all, we want them to experience the love we'll be tucking inside along with cooling ties and other items. We'll be sending out extra boxes to the Marines in Afghanistan this week in addition to the 50-100 packages we normally send. That's $400-$900 in postage and that's to send out EMPTY boxes, it also takes MORE money to fill them so....we need YOUR help. If you can help us with ANY amount, it will be very much appreciated. Thank you for having a HUGe heart for some of America's finest young men and women.
Project G fighter 3 of 5.
The FS-40G Gladiator is a three-engine, multirole fourth-generation starfighter based on the FS-28 Barbarian model. It was built to fulfill a defensive and long distance role in the United Earth Fleet.
Much more armored and protected than its fourth-generation brethren, this craft is able to take twice the punishment that the Paladin can. The Gladiator's weapons are thus built with sustained combat in mind. The Italian defense contractor Magnelli Munitions manufactured a new Plasma Bullet and Blaster system for the nose of the craft, the M-24 Spartacus, paired with the twin rotating Multi-Blaster launchers located under the crest of the tail fin. Set at the sides of the nose are four Austrex MV-880 Mauler Vulcan Cannons for close in dogfighting, and set on the outer edges of the prongs are four Austrex MW-720 Wild Pack Wide Bullet cannons to destroy large numbers of incoming targets all at once. Between those Wild Pack cannons are Caliban SIM-85 Apollo long distance missiles.
Mounted at the prong tips and within them are two different weapon systems that have been classified by the UEF and are at this point unknown.
Pilots of the Gladiator deal with the craft's inferior handling with a twisted pride. Said one, "The Gladiator doesn't fly through the air. It punches through it." Without any secondary thrusters at all, the Gladiator cannot perform the quick jinking bursts designed to dodge massed enemy fire. Its twin Hoffman engines instead force their thrust through twelve separate nozzles, offering fine straight line control and the highest sustained speed of any fighter craft in the fleet. Its large fuel cells also guarantee the longest flight time, distance, and durability.
The Gladiator first took flight in 2792, replacing the FS-36 Spartan in the family of tanker configuration roles assigned to starfighters of the United Earth Fleet. The tanker role is built for durability, distance, and long range attacks. This type of craft is by far the heaviest and most durable while still managing to pack a punch.
The Unimoc corporation finally got its chance to shine, as a lot of the total craft power was dedicated to the shields. They responded with a brand new shield system, the Gauss-9D, granting this craft over twice the durability of any other starfighter in any class.
As of 2795, like the Warlock before it, 53 of the FS-40G Gladiator craft have been manufactured and assigned to a single fighter squadron, the VSA-10 Steel Titans.

Less than a year after its birth, the National Aeronautics and Space Agency announced its first astronaut class, the Mercury Seven, on April 9, 1959. Project Mercury proved that humans could live and work in space, paving the way for future human exploration.
This cutaway drawing of the Mercury capsule was used by the Space Task Group at the first NASA inspection.

Went to view an Osprey project near Machynlleth but the viewing platform to where the Osprey's were nesting was a full 200 yards from the impressive hide building. But even with 500mm focal length and a little cropping I ended up with a nice record shot only!! The staff kindly opened the window to get a better image but the rain was blowing at times.
Anyway it was worth visiting, there are three "chicks" on the nest one doing practice flying. One parent was off fishing and came back with a flounder ? fish while the other parent was on top of the main camera mast which gave impressive video feeds back to the main building and the hide building.
One of the projects I have due next week requires me to take a photo of a night time student 'activity'. Without being vulgar this was the best I could come up with.
This was taken in the kitchen of my apartment. We are lucky enough to have a few brick walls.
A few images that represent a very abstract, chinese-painting style theme for me.
I have hardly edited these, apart from the cropping.
I love the starkness and the implied minimalism. I hope you like it too.

6 / 50 : Not meant to be seen.
Saturday.
Woke up early late.
Been busy all day long assisting a friend on a portfolio photoshoot.
Got home just to find out that it was "Open Museums" night here in Rome: just for tonight, a bunch of museums would have been open till 1am and completely free.
Now, seriously, can you miss something like that?
So I met up with some friends, and a pizza after (that's pretty much a measure of time here in Italy) we were out on the town.
First (and only) stop : the Macro.
There was a great photo exhibition themed around the word "work", and some of the work shown was incredibly good!
But the thing that caught my attention the most was a small booth, just outside the main hall, were a very particular idea found its space to be shown: I'm talking about the "Lost & Found Project - Family Photos Swept by 3.11 East Japan Tsunami) [Munemasa Takahashi - Kazuto Hoshi - Annalisa D'Angelo - Stefano Ruffa]
The project it's centered around showing the photos that were first swept by the tsunami in Japan last year and that were after found again while cleaning the remains of the buildings.
Photos that were MADE "not meant to be seen" anymore by the tsunami but that this idea brought back to light.
Photography-wise, I think it's the closest thing to the Resurrection of a Photo.
And I loved it.
And I immediately thought of this image.
Well, let's be honest, not exactly of this one, but my friends helped me define the concept and the beautiful Ludovica (whom I just met tonight for the first time) kindly accepted to pose.
So i prepared everything outside, checked the lights, and then went into the booth with her (along with tons other people that were there to actually see the photos and not this italian idiot trying to make one :D ) and shot this. In literally 10 seconds since I was sure they would have kicked us out in no time for that.
Holding the camera in one hand and the Softbox in the other.
It worked out ! :)
Six done, JUST 44 to go!

I don't do New Years Resolutions in general. So, for this week's photo, I thought about something big that would happen in our family in 2012. Something like... potty training our almost 3-year-old.
Project 365 07/05/2017: Manage to capture a photo of this damselfly resting on a planter. Quite a few of these guys were just buzzing about the front lawn.

Spanish Banks Beach
Nothing to do with the Red Umbrella Project
"Under cover of night, four Vancouverites meet to celebrate their city. From Spanish Banks, skyline silhouettes Stanley Park, Cypress. Tonight, we have reason: for too long we’ve grumbled of wet, not truly celebrating our City’s great gift – the rain. For in our dark, damp days do we not await the pleasures of spring: sunshine, buds, colours emerge. Alas, what of the pleasures of winter: as rains pour, leaves fall, umbrellas open to meet the skies, rainblossoms. Under cover of night, four Vancouverites meet to celebrate their city, for better or worse, rain or shine.
In civic spirit, the Rainblossom Project (with the help of VIA) invites Vancouver’s sister cities of Odessa, Yokohama, Edinburgh, Guangzhou, Los Angeles, and Seoul to spread the red."

Before taking this course I didn't have any objectives in mind, but to pass and clear my GE requirement. As the course progressed I realized how much I enjoy taking images.. Especially the one that freeze the moments, capture actions.. It truly speaks of my nature, I admire stillness and surrender myself to it sometimes, but nothing rocks my soul harder then an intense exercise or going down the hill on my bike, and now capturing motions with my camera.
Just a part of my family, 2 of the parts that keep me smiling.
(Thanks for an excuse to put up their pictures)
Sensuma means sensual in Latin.
In essence, sensuality is mainly about enjoying with all your senses, about knowing what you enjoy and what you desire. Sensuality therefore has to do with the five senses, and comes with a touch of lasciviousness and a suggestion of eroticism.
I have tried to convey this through this portrait series using only one sense, the eye
