In early 2002, in a justified act of revenge, I stole my friend Andrea Zink's bra. You know, that fleshy, beige-coloured bra all girls own for under white or sheer tops.
I began a campaign to photograph as many friends, acquaintances and even family in the bra. Then I sent the photos to people I knew around the globe with as a postcard template which they printed out and mailed back to Andrea, convincing her that her bra was on a walkabout around the world—torturing her from each locale.
Andrea hated it. One day, figuring I must've been the cause of all this, she marched into my office and threw a particular postcard (#002 to be precise) at my head and yelled "Make it stop!"
I did not.
" from my picture book in progress"-
An unclassified image of the Aurora craft. This black budget military craft is said to have antigravitic technology as well as Moon flight capabilities.
This is included in UFO Evidence as it could easily be confused with off-world origin craft.
Dwight Eisenhower's granddaughter recently discussed Ike's final address to the nation in which he warned, openly, sternly, of the 'military industrial complex'. She plainly stated that Ike edited his words because of his good feelings for his congressional progress late in his presidency. He had initially termed this conspiracy of technology as the 'Congressional Military Industrial Complex' .
Providing more valuable insight from Dr Michael Wolf via Dr. Richard Boylan:
Wolf also reported, "President Clinton has had a briefing on the Aurora [SR-33A] space plane ," which operates out of Area 51. The Aurora "runs on liquid methane, and has antigravity on board," [information identical to what retired Air Force Colonel Donald Ware also passed on to this writer from a three-star general.] Wolf says that the Aurora goes the Stealth planes one better. "It carries an electro-magnetic-pulse weapons system on board, which can knock out tracking radar." He also disclosed, "It can go to the Moon!" And added a tantalizing further hint, "The U.S. has 'something' on Mars [besides the Rover]."

I'm working on a collaborative caste layout. This picture shows the current status of my part. It's still WIP.
I've been neglecting Project 52! [guilt] Now posting A, C, D, F (having forgotten B and E...!) Will try to do better in future
(This is definitely my favourite beer at the moment, Bristol Beer Factory's Southville Hop. An IPA, very astringent. Unfortunately it is 6.8% ABV so it rather blows your head off. They do a couple of beers with a similar flavour but lower alcohol, though: Acer and Independence.)

This project will end here, for now. Life got in the way, and I might have bitten more than I could chew, so that´s that. Can´t do it all, and I understand that sadly, photography can not be my priority at this time.
I will still take photos, and I will still upload them. Not as often and not in the "365 days" format.

Pollen seems to be available throughout the year here, but during our short winter season there is a dearth in the nectar flow. For the last several years I've been working on a project to provide a nectar substitute with the least amount of work for the beekeeper. This is one of the prototypes. A pet gravity water station modified to to feed the bees while preventing them from drowning. With this version the bees can transport two and a half gallons of sugar water back to their hives in about two hours.

Over the course of Devin Townsend’s storied career, a single constant has persevered: change. As far back as Steve Vai’s Sex & Religion, which Townsend fronted, to 2001’s landmark full-length Terria to the multi-instrumentalist’s country rock outfit Casualties of Cool to his stunning new album Transcendence, the Canadian isn’t too interested in keeping an even musical keel. To stay the proverbial course is, well, anathema. For certain, he’s far too impatient to write the same Strapping Young Lad song over and over—which is why he folded the band in 2007—and it’s likely there will never be a fourth or fifth Ziltoid album (a third if we’re lucky) because by that point he’ll be in a totally different frame of mind for galactic puppets gone awry.
“The Devin Townsend Project is still essentially a solo project,” he reminds. “One of several, but the difference is that I've had a dedicated team of talented folks here that really had great ideas. of the ways I consciously stepped out of my comfort zone was to the solicit feedback from not only the band, but also to production and engineering. Opinions from people I trust at the management and label, and all with a sense of building a kind of archetype of the DTP sound that would not ostracize people who enjoy the style, but keeping it fresh for me as well. One of the things I did was present my vision—which I’ve always done—and within that framework, I’d massage it with the team. For this record, in those sections, I’d bring it to the band and say, ‘Look guys, here’s what it’s supposed to do. This is how it’s supposed to make me feel. And how the audience is supposed to feel. This is how it interacts with the parts prior and after. That’s why it exists. It’s not complicated because we’re trying to jerk off here. It’s complicated because, in my mind, the emotional component of the section is complicated. But in lieu of how quickly I tend to purge music I’m thinking: how can we make it cooler while I can still move quickly? 'Here’s the basic chord structure guys, this is what I think it should basically do, be it angular or in thirds or whatnot... Dave [Young; guitars] and Mike [St-Jean; keyboards] Ryan (VanPoederooyen: drums) and Brian (Waddell: bass) , can you think of something cooler there? I’ll be back tomorrow.’”
“It took a year to try and figure out a template for what DTP should be and still be of interest to me,” remembers Townsend, “And as much as I’ve been a control freak for so long, I’m also at an age where I recognize those elements—like friends—in my life are ultimately more important than music, and the need to control something like the DTP at this point is more rooted in insecurity now that necessity. I do enjoy being part of a team. I like to think after so many records with these guys that I don't really have to be at the center of everything. I can trust a team of people—the right people—to help where I need help. I need an engineer who has better ears than me. My ears are getting tired after all these years. If you put together a team whose strengths are better than yours, and then you put in your strengths, then what comes out of it, for no other reason than for an experiment, is really cool. And in line with my need for a project to have a theme to draw me into it, That’s what this records theme became. It’s an experiment put to music. If anything really kick started the inspiration for the record, it was that. The desire to get the DTP 'right' for what it is.”
Recorded at The Armoury Studios in Vancouver, Canada with Townsend and Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood (Periphery, Animals as Leaders), Transcendence sounds absolutely massive. From the moment ‘Truth’—a re-work from the Infinity album—monstrously blends into the soul-stirring ‘Stormbending’ to the undulating cool of mid-point jam ‘Secret Sciences’ and Ween cover ‘Transdermal Celebration’, Townsend and crew have engineered a modern-day classic. The sheer scale of tracks like ‘Failure’, ‘Higher’, and the majestic title track is at once daunting and inviting. Transcendence pulls the listener in like a movie score. It has the emotional heft of Rosenman’s Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and the mega-riff power of Black-era Metallica.
Even if Transcendence had its 'bikini wax' moments—(Townsend metaphorically refers to his process as 'professionally hitting myself in the face with a hammer')—the final product is fantastic. In many ways, it’s typical The Devin Townsend Project, however there is now an inviting sense of depth and relative breathing room in the sound. Always professional and sonically awash in darks, lights, and colors between, it turned out not only to be an acceptable new DTP record, but arguably one of the best. What also added to the overall quality was the addition of five guest musicians—including but not limited to ex-The Gathering vocalist Anneke Van Giersbergen, vocalists Ché Aimee Dorval and Katrina Natale—and a five-person choir called Tigers In A Tank. Their contribution to Transcendence’s overall ambiance is noteworthy and necessary.
“Well, I love working with female vocalists because I’m not particularly fond of singing and I really react emotionally to female voices,” posits the frontman. “I kind of fell into singing. I could never find someone who would sing like I wanted, so I begrudgingly took the job. Anneke’s obviously worked with me for a while now. Ché was on this record because she was with me in Casualties of Cool. And Katrina sang one song on the Ghost album. Also, I wanted the three of them on this record if this was to be the last DTP record. They bring it all together. So, sticking with the same people is the same reason I’ve been married for so long. Once I find great people, I have no need to look elsewhere for the similar things. It’s kind of great as it eliminates option paralysis in that area, though as different needs arise, often things evolve as well. As for the choir, it’s typically been inefficient. For the last record, I went to Amsterdam and it was crazy. I went to Sweden and it was cool but super-expensive. On Epicloud, I had a gospel choir, but had to over-dub a lot. For this one, I asked my buddy Eric [Severinson] to find three capable women and two men. I was able to create the choir by doing over-dubs and recording on-the-fly. It turned out great and it was very efficient.”
With over 60 songs in the bag for Transcendence, (not all, he is quick to point out, of the same quality) Townsend obviously had to pare down. The songs that made it, however, are breathtaking in their scope, beautiful in their presentation, and heavy—noticeably—enough to out-bombast the sum of The Devin Townsend Project’s previous full-lengths. Certainly, Townsend knows how he feels about the songs on Transcendence (and its accompanying second disc). Each song, from ‘Truth’ and ‘Secret Sciences’ to ‘Stars’ and ‘Offer Your Heart’, provoked a reaction from the man.
“My litmus test for whether or not a song or a record is working is really about my visceral reaction to it,” Townsend says. “If I react to it, then it’s correct, for me. That reaction could be repulsion, it could make me cry, it could irritate me, I could be loving it, it’s pretty much all the same. As long as I’m affected by the song, then I know I have something accurate.”
As for the Townsend’s loyal fans? The very fans who’ve been waiting with bated breath for Transcendence?
“If it gives me a reaction, then I hope it’ll contribute something to their world. Ultimately, I'm happy to contribute my observations to the massive sea of music. If there's anything that became clear to me throughout this all is the value of being part of something as opposed to being too concerned about 'being' the thing'
A quick and dirty selection of pages from my first book design project. We were tasked with laying out part of The Kamasutra, consisting of the first book and three commentaries (including commentary on commentary).
A spread from Chapter 3. It was one of the easy ones because we didn't have commentary.
For a uni project I had to create a piece of limited edition packaging for 5 golf balls which also acts as an invitation for the opening of Donald Trumps Intenation Golf Links in Aberdeen. Its made up obviously, although the golf course is real.
As there was 5 golf balls, 5 letters in Trumps name and also 5 things which I had to communicate on the package(sender, reciever, exclusivity, location and the event) - I made the package a pentagon.
The package is printed on 'golf ball' textured paper and is is reinforced with cardboard and lined inside with speciality green card, the doors stay shut with magnets

'Luc'
We don't actually know his name, but we call him Luc as he looks like a male version of our tabby Lucy.
Luc doesn't live with us, but he doesn't know that. He's often found trying to talk to us through the patio door, and on occasion he's been known to wander in through the cat flap and go feed himself from our cats' bowls! We don't know if he's feral or is a pet, he has no collar but seems well fed. He's a bit shy, but also persistent. So that's the tale of Luc!
For over a year now, Elisa and I have been looking out for opportunities to contribute to our Found Shadow Project. Here are some of the results.
We set up these rules for the project:
1. Only 'found' shadows could be entered in the project (nothing is staged!).
2. The object casting the shadow must be out of frame.
3. Only available light, natural or otherwise. may be used.

Shot for project 52 as well as an opportunity to photograph my daughter at her climbing gym.
Lighting of the top frame is a 60in softlighter to camera left and a smaller white umbrella to camera right to light the background. There is an gridded light very high in the tunnel behind her to the right providing a hint of edge light to her left shoulder and hair and back. The tunnel extends up an entire story and is about 30 feet away. I had it set there for a different setup, otherwise would have just used a speedlight closer. Plus it was fun to utterly scare the unsuspecting climbers and watch them go tumbling down the mat...
Project Quilting- Week 4- Barn Quilts
26x26
Seattle, WA
I was drawn to the traditional quilt patterns in the Barn Quilts, so I decided to go with a traditional pattern from the book Color and Quilt. I also added some hand dyed fabric for the circle pieces.
I started with a red center circle, but after it was all done, it was decided by my husbnad nad I and that red just didn't work, so I changed it to the green middle.
I also used extras from the front fabrics to design the back!
The Eastern Hellbender Juvenile Habitat Restoration project is funded through the State Wildlife Grant Program to assess survival in juveniles receiving an enriched captive environment and enriched juvenile habitat in the Blue River, IN. This research project is with the Indiana DNR and the Purdue Aquaculture Research Lab at Purdue University. In addition, 167 juvenile hellbenders will continue to be reared at the Purdue aquaculture facility and be released in 2017 as part of the reintroduction program.
The overarching goals of this research are to assess the historical eastern hellbender habitats for potential reintroductions and reintroduce captive reared juveniles into a former portion of their native range. The specific goals of the project include conducting eDNA screening, habitat suitability assessments, and estimating post-release survival using radio-telemetry. Ultimately, the results of this research could influence management decisions to repatriate eastern hellbenders throughout portions of its former range within Indiana and prevent extirpation.

Every year I do a Project 52, one photo a week for the whole year. This is a showcase of this years, with the themes given on my photography group
Found this in the Tropical Rainforest Biome at The Eden Project today. As I was practically driving past the place I thought I had better check it out. They had used one of my images a couple of year's ago for their Big Lunch project so they let me in for nothing...and I saved myself £23.50!
