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.
When the stars don't shine, and when the birds don't fly
And when the flowers cry, and when the rain runs dry
When the violet's red and when the rose turn blue
I'll still be in love with u.....
- This is my first shot for the LOVE project. Received these hearts and a lovely postcard with a beautiful message from my Japan friend, Keiko some time ago and had a couple of shots last night. Nothing beats the satisfaction of producing these lovely shots, as my wife was there helping me all the way. Hence...called Love project.

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!"

No. 1 - 5:- Exploring Rochester - High Street
City of Great Expectations - Charles Dickens..
Elizabeth's of Eastgate
Housed in a historic Tudor building a couple of minutes' walk from the cathedral and Rochester castle, Elizabeth's of Eastgate is moving with the times. It's a comfortable place noted for its relaxed atmosphere and friendly, professional service: 'you are made to feel special and welcome, not just a number,' concluded one satisfied Mobile Food Guide reporter.
The exterior still testifies to the building's age and history, but the decor and menu tell a different story. Visitors can look forward to a mix of classic British and French-inspired dishes ranging from grilled slip sole with herb crushed potatoes and tartare sauce or roast Barbary duck breast with Madeira jus to a duo of Romney Marsh lamb with lyonnaise potatoes and rosemary jus.
You could begin with roast whole quail with buttered spinach and Cassis jus or an assiette of Cornish crab, and round things off with Baileys cheesecake or apple and pear clafoutis with cinnamon ice cream. Traditional roast beef lunches are served on Sundays. The 80-bin wine list is a carefully considered selection, with Spain and France offering the most interesting possibilities.

Mister Pumblechook's
'...eminently convernient and commodious premises'
Standing opposite Eastgate House is another large, timber-framed mansion, built in about 1684. Originally, this was one large house but is now, and probably was also in Dickens' time, divided into three separate premises. It feaqtures in Great Expectations as Mr. Pumblechook's House, where he carried on business as a corn chandler, and again in The Mystery of Edwin Drood as the offices of Mr. Sapsea, an auctioneer.
In Dickens Footsteps.

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! :)
I had to pop out from work for an hour and while I was out I drove passed this field of rapeseed. When I first passed it the sky was clear blue but there was nowhere to park. I knew there was a layby on the other side of the road so stopped on the wayback, a few clouds had rolled in but I still wanted the shot. Taken in panorama mode with the Oly XZ-1.
SpirosK is the wonderful photographer for this henna project, and Danai Gourd the marvellous model. We shot in an abandoned hotel in the mountains north of Athens, Greece. The hotel was really moody, surreal, post-apocalyptic fairy in a mad maxish setting. This was one of the most fun projects I have worked on with a great crew - assistants, make up artists, everyone gave 110% of their energy to do this.
Henna was a challenge for me, not my normal style. Tried to make it thorny, not too flowery, tribally, but not too tribal, and the raggedy faerie wings were accented with water color pencil.
The cast and crew are:
Spiros K. = Photographer
Kree Arvanitas = Henna artist
Danai Gourd = Model
Jennifer Rage = Makeup Artist
Magdalini = Artist Assistant
Anastasia = Model Assistant

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.
The Ballerina Project is a worldwide photo shoot of ballerinas posed in the most random of places. Here are the beautiful and talented young ladies of the Bay Area for my take on The Ballerina Project! Stay tuned for more :)

"I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn't really happen in life is what I'm interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I'm really interested in is people." ~Joss Whedon
Our quiet Friday turned out to be a freaky Friday after all. Jason came to visit after getting back from Queensland and Kam surprised us with a visit as well. We ended up watching an Aussie horror movie based on real-life events, called Wolf Creek, I ended up hyperventilating a bit while Kam kept her cool interviewing Jason about his holiday chick escapades :o) We missed the happy Friday gang and always Selz, but we're planning to celebrate the end of my Project 365.
Jason showed Kam photos from his phone of "Le Hot Chic" and Kam's innocent probing resulted in this question:
Kam: "Jason...where's her face?"
Seventeen (17) more days to go...
Just wanted to thank my awesome friend Jeff for sharing a beautiful movie called Women are Heroes, saw the preview and Alex is looking for it this weekend :o) Thanks Jeff :o)
I've been thinking a lot more about life post-365, I think I might take a 2 week hiatus, have a bit of a breather and then focus more on series. I had this idea of focusing on studying artists and doing re-interpretations of their work or compositions. I don't think I'll ever fade away from flickr, this is one of the few places I feel at home. :o)
Hope you're having a great weekend dear friends :o)

Never too old for a toy! This is a bit hard to fly, but I will get the hang of it. Doing another 365 photo project, had no passion for photography last year, hope this project will rekindle my creativeness.

I am guess first picture is always the hard one to choose and I always have no idea how to start. I Capture this shot with my Macro 100mm in 1/125 sec at f8, ISO 100 with natural sunlight.
This is a work in progress restoration of my early 70's Bianchi. I think it's a Bianchi Rekord or Sprint from the early 70's, it came with a cotter type bottom bracket, and a chrome front fork shroud. It does however have a Campione del Mondo decal on the cross bar, which if original dates the bike to 1974 minimum.
I've fitted a Magistroni Chainwheel and a Campagnolo Record rear deraileur, Campagnolo Valentino matchbox front derailleur, Universal Mod 61 Brake levers, Universal mod68 brake calipers.

Project Apollo: Mission to the Moon

35 days, 35 photos, 1 Explore, and one heck of a learning experience later, and my friend, Brian, and I are done with Project 35. The whole thing started because Brian bought a Canon 35mm f/1.4L, which is my favorite lens to use. I was so happy for him because I know what the lens is capable of, especially paired up with a full frame camera. So, I threw out a proposal to him to take a one-a-day photo challenge using the 35L for 35 days. I wanted to do it because my original intent was to use the 35L on my 40D and keep it there, just to see how it performed with a crop camera. But little did I know that I would learn quite a bit about myself as a shooter and this lens.
As much as I enjoyed having the 35L on my 40D, I kept wanting to put the lens back on my 5D2. I learned that I love the 35mm focal length on a full frame because of many reasons. First of all, I think it is the perfect focal length for me because I think 50mm is too close and the 24mm would be too wide, especially on full frame. Secondly, the 35L + 5D2 is just “magical” together. It’s like peanut butter and jelly, Sonny and Cher, and Bono and the Edge. I don’t know how to explain it and why that combo just goes so well together. I feel the same way about the 135L + 5D2 combo - magical! And thirdly, I like the 35mm on a full frame because I am able to tell a good story within a photo. It allows me more without having to step back too far.
Now that the Project 35 is completed, I feel a sense of freedom. I’m gonna play with my 135L or maybe my 50L now. It does feel good though to limit my lens choice for the last 35 days.
No.7. Imagine a world where crime is so bad, u need finger print access just to get to your food. Though I have to say I'm not sure how useful that would be, because if someone is really hungry, they'll find a way to get in.

Families experiencing homelessness have found a home thanks to Project Homekey on April 19, 2021. LA County purchased the 41-room former Travel Plaza Inn in Compton for about $6.5 million late 2020 to serve as the only Project Homekey site dedicated to serving families. The families began moving into the property on March 5th, and currently operated by HOPICS. (Photo by Los Angeles County)
I was experimenting today but the pics didn't turn out as I had hoped. I bought some eggs and blew out the insides and then filled the egg with jelly. Then I shot the egg with an airgun. This is one of the better results.

#258 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: My parents West Highland Terriers like to take saunas
Result: Hot Dogs
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 in a Moleskine Plain notebook
Location: Kitchen table at the farm
Note: My heritage is Finnish and my parents have a wood heated sauna. My father insisted I take the 'pups' in when I went to stew in the 80C heat...and sure enough the girls couldn't get to the top bench fast enough and play with water from the bucket....*face palm*
