Day 103, The 365 Toy Project

I was 13 when the Beatles hit the shores of the U.S. and I have been hooked ever since. Best band ever!!!
Elvington, North Yorkshire.
Sunday 18 October, 2009.
Watch the video: Project Zip - Elvington (18/10/09)
Project 365 is about driving your imagination to unexpected limits by taking one photo each day.
Main rules: iphone, b&w and square format.
this project is all about trying new things, right? so here's my first real self portrait. yuck.
today was patriotic, of course. happy fourth of july! oh, and it sort of looks better large. i don't know why.
We all have our side projects. Build a ship in a bottle, repave the garden walk, organize our stamp collection from countries that no longer exist. I also have a few side projects. One is my Stock Certificate Project (that I really should devote some more time to). Another is my ROYGBIV project.
It is not uncommon that friends ask me for photos or themselves for this or that. When they do, I try to squeeze the ROYGBIV project in. Basically, I try to position my subjects outside, in front of some primarily colored background as well as one white background then assemble the results into whatever you call a piece of art that involves four separate scenes... whatever is past a tryptic I guess.
Anyway, one of my oldest friends Kevin Bankston was in town for the holidays and he asked that I shoot a few shots of him. It should be said that Kevin is probably my most accomplished and admirable friend. He has worked for the ACLU, EFF and is making a big move to Washigton to further lobby for and protect out online freedoms. If you watch, you will certainly see him on the television or quoted in all the big magazines. This guys is one to watch.
The condition was that we drive around until I could find some suitable locations for the ROYGBIV project. For those who slept through that day in science class ROYGBIV is just an acronym for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These are roughly the shades we see in the visible light spectrum. In my opinion, solid and strong colors make for nice backgrounds if you can get the right subject to background distance so the background becomes a blur of radiant color.
All technical mumbo-jumbo aside, I like the way they look and you can see a prior one taken of my good friend Chris Brooks here. Also included in this batch are some of the un-cropped originals that I did a little more tweaking on.
If you're going to shoot portraits of your buddies for free (and why wouldn't you?) you might as well make them work a little bit for it and direct their efforts towards your broader schemes. So, thanks Kevin. You are now installment 2 in the slow-moving ROYGBIV Project.
Everything was shot natural light with a Canon 5D MKII and a Canon 135mmm f/2 L USM and edited in Aperture and Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

Here's my second attempt at the 365 Project. I got SO close last year, only a few months shy of completing my goal! :( I'm trying it again though, this time starting from my 26th birthday.
So... welcome to my 26th year. :)
This pic was taken at Ketchup, a fancy and fun restaurant in Hollywood, known for their five different kinds of Ketchup. And yes, the lighting was really red in there! I was lucky enough to have my some of my closest friends make the drive out. Afterward we watched "Alice in Wonderland" in 3D. All in all, it was a wonderful day....
Still can't believe I'm 26! Crazy.
Leaving landing gear and used descent stage behind, LEM's ascent stage blasts off the moon for a rendezvous with the orbiting Apollo.

The nave of the Dom (Cathedral).
The interior of the Cathedral (length 86m. width 62.5m.) is in a cool white and holds over 10,000 people. The ceiling frescoes in the middle nave were painted by Arsenio Mascagni and Ignazio Solari and show scenes of the life and suffering of Christ and lead to Mascagni's large picture of the resurrection of Christ.
In this picture can also be seen some of the frescoes of the cupola.
The gals at Big-Little Reveal in the 80's prom dresses...of course all of them were born in the late 80's....meanies!
The theme of this project is "The Fruits of the Spirit," from the Bible verse Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version (NIV)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
This verse refers to the spiritual gifts that a follower of Christ receives and develops over time. I chose the image of the cross for "Goodness", as I am reminded by it to sacrifice a "me first" attitude and put God and others first in the same way that Christ laid down his life to save me.
On the Joecustoms site we had a group customizing project that was called Project '84. The idea being that it is 1983 and we had to make new G.I. Joe and Cobra figures for 1984 and we could only use existing tooling (the first year Joe and Cobras) I went with Firefly here,
Head: Snake Eyes
Chest: Cobra Officer
Arms: Upper Cobra Trooper

"Project 7 is a single-seater sports car based on the F-TYPE, with the kind of racing-inspired form that designers dream about. It has one purpose: to be driven fast and enjoyed.Jaguar sports cars are known for exceptional performance and clean design. Project 7 captures that spirit in its purest form."
Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States led by its newly created space agency NASA. It ran from 1959 through 1963 with the goal of putting a human in orbit around the Earth, and doing it before the Soviet Union, as part of the early space race. It involved seven astronauts flying a total of six solo trips. On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space in a suborbital flight after the Soviet Union had put Yuri Gagarin into orbit one month earlier. John Glenn became the first American to reach orbit on February 20, 1962. He was the third person to do so, after Soviet Gherman Titov made a day-long flight in August 1961. When the project ended in May 1963, USA was still behind the Soviet space program, but the gap was seen as closing.
#307 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: Barcelona
Result: Day 1
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 & Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils in a Stillman & Birn Zeta series sketchbook
Location: apartment in Barcelona
Note: The next 23 drawings are reflections of my trip to Spain, Dublin and Scotland. It's a combination sketchbook / journal. Not all of the pages contain writing ....those are yet to be filled in because while I did make a point of doing a drawing every day I really didn't have time to also fill in the blanks with words...those are to come. I just needed to get these posted so I could get my daily drawings back on track. :)
Photos of automobiles detailed and shot in AutoDetailer Studio's state-of-the-art Lightroom!
Behind-the-scenes of what goes on behind each car that's detailed to our Signature Series perfection and photographed...
This is one of my favorite spreads from my Sketchbook Project.
First, I freehanded the patterned background with a Sharpie. Scanned a ballpoint pen sketch, enlarged it, printed, and then glued it into the sketchbook. From there I was able to use my acrylics to work the final magic.
To see some of my work in progress and the cover to the sketchbook, check out my blog:

This is my entry in the Project Quilting Off Season Challenge - Catalog It! Your inspiration was to be from an ad.
I was inspired by clothes ads. Many times we thumb thru' catalogs and order clothes. Then they come in the mail and they don't fit us correctly. They just hang in our closets. Since this has happened to just about everyone I know, I decided we could all relate!
I was inspired to create a quilt from an unusable clothing item --- a denim shirt that didn't fit me!
I posted about each part of the process on my blog: marciascraftysewing.blogspot.com/
#1 Cut the shirt ---- Up Cycle this Denim Shirt
#2 The Process --- My Vacation Project Continues...
#3 The Binding --- A Fringie Raw Edge Binding
#4 Hot Pads --- Made from the Scraps
#5 Completed Project --- marciascraftysewing.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-vacation-proj...

This outfit is a modified "Myra" jumpsuit by Violette Field Threads. I narrowed and shortened the legs, added a wide cuff, piped the armholes and keyhole, and narrowed and shortened the neck tie. Its made of hot pink denim, with just a little stretch. On the back are mismatched, oversized white buttons. She has a coordinating hair bow. Whenever I sew for my kids, my goal is that they will actually want to wear the clothes, and that the clothes will hold up to regular, everyday use. She loves this, and played for a long time in it, doing lots of jumping, "because its a jumpsuit!"
263/365 - Photoshop has a vast potential that I have barely scratched the surface of - even after regular professional use for over 18 years. One of the creative aspects is the ability to generate custom brushes. Perfect for graphics.
This wire sculpture was a project for our class. I absolutely love this! And, frankly, I never knew I could do it! I had a few ideas before this, but it all failed. So, I just had a sudden brain fart! I said, "Why don't I just make an elephant!" So I did! Then along the way, I thought that just one elephant would be boring and lonely. So I added a baby elephant to be by her side. :) So yeah. I made it overnight. Remind me not to cram again! Gaaah! >.< I tell ya, it wasn't easy making this. Well, I'm thankful I got a good grade for this. It was worth it. :)
Hope you guys like it! :D
This piece is called "Michelles"
Inspired by my friend, Michelle. She adores elephants! Love you, Mich! Miss you! :)
