It's day one of my Project 365! I've been thinking about doing this for some time, and read an article the other day that said if you've been doing that, it's probably time to stop thinking, and start the challenge. So, here we go! I'll throw a little info about each picture as I post it moving forward...
This is my preferred Saturday and Sunday morning post, generally involving a cup of coffee and a book. However, my new, and first legitimate, flash arrived last night, so I was getting to know it this morning.
This is one of a series of photos I have been taking as part of a project exploring the tight urban network of narrow alleyways in Saigon known as 'hems'. Much of the city's living happens in these labyrinthine, light-deprived spaces- the population density is high. In my suburb the hem is the main living space- there are in excess of 181,000 people living in just 5 square kms. The hems are places of love, family, study, recreation, procreation and commerce, as well as the more seedy practices of prostitution and illicit drug use. The roles played by each inhabitant in a hem are many, and guessing who does what for whom in these lanes is a fools game. Saigon defies such classifications. It can be a shadowy, disingenuous place where allegiances are fluid and trust can evaporate like the ethers.
But there are occasional cracks of light, even in a hem. This lady has a generous spirit and invited me to drink with her family and fellow hem-dwellers. She then gave me her life story- literally, beginning with how her American GI dad met her Vietnamese mum back in 1970. She showed me all the official government documents about her biological father and said she had met him once, in 1990. He started to send her some money, but this has since dried up. She is a divorcee with four kids- she could probably use a bit of that cash right now...

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 domes 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.

The Troublemakers Film Project is a new initiative that brings young LGBT2Q+ filmmakers together to create a series of mini-documentary portraits on change-making seniors. A partnership with Vancouver Queer Film Festival & Out in Schools and made possible by the BC Arts Council!
My friend, Lucy, is visiting this morning, while her partner teaches a class up the coast. We walked to the beach for a bit of fresh air and spotted these kite surfers. We didn't stay out for long - it was windy and my cold has moved to my chest. So the fresh air was a good idea but being out too long was not.

The Asian Highway, a project initiated in 1958 by ECAFE, aims at modernizing and linking up existing roads into a 34,000 miles network of highways that would span Asia from Turkey and Iraq to the Republic of Viet-Nam, Singapore and Indonesia. The Highway network will service an area of some 2,500,000 square miles with a population of over six hundred million. Priority Route A-I (about 6,500 miles) runs from Saigon through eight countries: The Republic of Viet-Nam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, India, East and West Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, to the Turkish border, where connections can be made to the highway systems of the Middle East and Europe. Priority Route A-2 (about 7,600 miles) runs from the Iraq border to Singapore, through Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Burma, Thailand and Malaysia, continuing into Indonesia where, after a ferry crossing from Singapore to Djakarta, it will run the whole length of the island to Java. Member governments have already invested large sums in an effort to improve the standards of the roads within their borders, and some have undertaken to eliminate the missing links between them and their neighbours.
A-1 route of the Asian Highway some 15 miles from Kabul. Construction of this road began about 20 years ago, virtually without any mechanical help. The road, which is almost completed, leads to the Khyber Pass. Some sections of the major roads in Afghanistan are being built under bilateral programmes.

first shot using the impossible project film
subsequent shots have been a lil better as ive learned you REALLY have to shield the film immediately as it ejects. this one i sort of slowly put it in my pocket.
each shot seems to vary a bit, but im liking it overall. if it wasnt so expensive id buy a ton of it to stock up again.
this is a cool intersection in germantown, (phila) ive always loved. its pretty cutty back block-ish but everyone seems to keep preserving this ivy growth and just trimming out a hole for the stop sign.

Today is a cold blustery day, gusty winds and snow flurries. Found this fence up the road by the creek, I loved the reflections of the trees in the water.
(still trying to figure out this new camera, I see it has the date/time wrong so I'll have to check into that)
Have a great weekend everyone!

By the end of the century, sub-alpine meadows could shrink up to 27 percent at Mount Rainier National Park and disappear entirely at North Cascades National Park. To understand the effects of climate change on pollinators and protect our sub-alpine meadows, the Cascades Butterfly Project will be monitoring three sites in North Cascades National Park, two in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, and four in Mount Rainier National Park.

I have decided to start a 52 weeks project. I wish with all that I have in me that I had the time to do a 365 days project but alas, college takes up so much of my time, that whenever I get some free time, it is simply a miracle.
Now this project won’t be like my past two 365s. the weekly photos might not necessarily have me in them. With my 365s I tried my hardest to be the subject in almost every photo, with a few other shots. But this time, the weekly photo may be of anything or anyone else. Some weeks I might even have some of my film work as the weekly photo. I don’t know where this project will go or how.
And I believe that over the summer, I might do another project alongside my 52 weeks, since I might have more free time than I do during the school year.
I honestly just miss having a sort of constant project I need to put my all into. I would do a 365, but I can see that making my grades suffer greatly. So 52 weeks will have to do. Some weeks, I will most likely upload more than one photo. Some weeks, I may use older photos, if I did not have time that week to take something new. I will see where this project goes.
So here’s to 52 weeks of photos! I kept promising I would become more active, and this is me forcing myself to keep my promise!
I missed you flickr :)

"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."
The Hungarian Museum of Applied Arts is organising a project on recycleing the leftovers of the enameled roof tiles of the building - into jewellery. The amazing buliding was constructed between 1893 and 1896 in the sprit of the secession. The ceramic ornaments and tiles were made by the famous Zsolnay factory.
I received 3 palm size, very dirty pieces and made my experiments with them, finally I decided the design.
It is a fantastic material. By flex shaft I can cut it and the more that 110 years old enamel does not peal off at all! You can see on the picture that even on the tiny parts it is intact. The back is a porous but strong whiteish ceramic.
SO... I made this sterling pendant that you can fill up with the Zsolnay ceramic tiles. You've got the choice of 4 coloures, you've got 8-8 square tiles and there are also 2 triangles. In the future I plan to make some additional fillings too. You slide the tiles into the frame and then you pull the black leather string thight that closes the top.
I asked my mathematician brother how many combinations can one create with this setup. He made some quick calculations and the result is:
If you use all 4 coloures, both the triangles and the square tiles you can make 983040 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) different pendants (including that on the back side you have the "opposite" combination)
Let's say that I would sell this jewel for 300 money (have not decided yet). It means that for this price you have 983040 pendants, so you only pay 0.00030517578 money for one pendant. It is practicly free!! Don't miss this occasion!!
One more reason to buy it: If you wear every day a different combination, you will be more than 2693 years old when you finish it - and by that time you can update the coulours and shapes to extend it by a couple of thousand years.
A close up of the view, from the office kitchen window, that captivated me and many of my colleague this lunchtime. A machine is 'nibbling' at the former Defence Building.

I enjoyed watching the short lived "Starcom in the late 80's early 90's. I've wanted to build something along the lines of the Starmax Bomber for a while, and here are the results.
The front cockpit and pilot seating position isn't too good, due to the landing strut being right below.Overall this has a sleeker look than the cartoon and is missing a few of the features of the real one, but it was a fun build.

Secret #1 - I spent the majority of my late childhood and teenage years scared of being alone in the dark in certain areas of our house. As soon as I moved out of that house, it wasn't a problem anymore...
