At 3pm each workday a colleague strikes a cowbell with a drumstick. This is the signal for us to gather to do the quiz in the Dominion Post newspaper.

I did not make these custom HissTanks, I just photographed them. To check out the ongoing art project visit the CanvHISS Project on Facebook!
P-p-pick up a penguin. Maybe only people from the UK who are over a certain age will get that reference.
This is my partner, Rik, in my office with our resident penguin. (No, I have no idea why we have an inflatable penguin in our office. He's been with us since Christmas).
Rik is here because we are getting a lift home with a colleague whose wife is coming into town to pick him up. We've had torrential rain causing floods and landslides so the trains are cancelled and the main roads out of town have only just reopened - at least far enough for us to get home.

Back at Berkswell Station after a look around the nearby large village of Balsall Common.
On Sunday's the stopping trains are once an hour.
Berkswell railway station, in the West Midlands of England, takes its name from the nearby village of Berkswell although it is located much closer to the small town of Balsall Common. The station originally opened as Docker's Lane, changed to Berkswell on 1 January 1853, then to Berkswell & Balsall Common on 1 February 1928 before reverting to Berkswell again. It is situated on the West Coast Main Line between Coventry and Birmingham. The station and all trains serving it are operated by West Midlands Trains, while Virgin Trains pass through the station without stopping. There are small lakes and a river on the Eastern side of the railway station.
In 2004, as part of a plan to upgrade the line to carry more high speed trains, the level crossing situated to the east of the station was removed and two small low parallel tunnels were built under the railway, one for road traffic and the other for pedestrians. The road tunnel, being too narrow for two-way traffic, is controlled by traffic lights. The level crossings at Tile Hill and Canley were also removed in the upgrade.
Berkswell was once the junction with a line that ran to Kenilworth, which opened on 2 March 1884 and closed to all traffic on 3 March 1969. The trackbed of this line is gradually being converted into a "Greenway" for walking, cycling, and horse-riding. The route for the proposed High Speed 2 line will lie broadly parallel to this greenway, then necessitating its realignment through and north-west of the village of Burton Green. A length of track of the Kenilworth line survives as a siding. It was occasionally used for stabling the Royal Train.
London Northwestern Railway 350 110 arriving / departing at Berkswell. I noticed the Project 110 livery. Probably a left over from the London Midland days. Although it's a new livery for me (apart from the front and back ends).

We have a volunteer working on a project for the Gardens involving a crosscut from an old elm.
Anyone who knows me, knows exactly what I saw staring back at me in this beautiful piece of wood...
A small project consisting of setting up a shoot with random passersby and getting them to pull a face.
All participants where informed of the project and asked if they wanted to be a part. To see the rest of the project you can visit cambrils.tumblr.com/
Lighting is provided by a softbox umbrella camera right and a bare strobe for hair light.
This is a project that is very personal to me. With a goal to reflect about things in my life by going beyond my comfort zone and understanding todays world view through the life stories of others.
I will this time not only interview strangers but also people I know to have a larger scope of interviews.
Hope you enjoy it.

18 year old french student. Her favorite color is green and her favorite food is seafood.
Her dream is that her "life becomes a voyage" and two words she used to describe herself was "Fighter", when I asked why, she just said :"If at first you don't succeed, try try again" and the second word to describe herself was "Daring" because she could leave everything to find adventure "I don't know how to ride a motocycle, but I would do it anyways if someone asked me."
Her favorite childhood memory was when her parents where still together and they where all having a great time together around the pool. Her worst childhood memory was seeing her family fall apart.
If Barbara could change anything in today's world it would be the "individualistic and hypocrite mentality of our society."
I then asked her what the word "Happiness" meant for her and she replied: "It's the ephemeral feeling of really existing."

Have a great day,
Nathan
To mark the final year/month/day combination this century 12/12/12 I decided to embark on a mini project......
Project 12: 12 images taken on the 12/12/12, all 12 seconds in duration and all square crop 12x12 (or 1x1) depending on how you look at it.
Given I am doing more work with film, especially 120 format which has 12 images per roll coincidently I wanted to process the images to have a very filmesque feel.
So please have a nose around 'Project 12'
…And it hit me like a fright train.
Around about this time a year ago, one of the big hips in my life had revolved around the idea that I was finally going to see one of my stories become a comic book series. As you can see, a year later. That never happened. Not only did my story, like so many before never leave the pages of it’s original manuscript, the aforementioned comic book company never even managed to spread its wings and get off the ground. Bad management sealed our fate, and it was over before it had even begun.
I can’t say the experience was entirely heart braking. I figure any opportunity that arises worthy enough to get my gears grinding out a new story is always a plus. The comic book, maybe dead (at least for the moment) but the story is not. And in this case I feel like it was a double plus, considering I decided to run with an idea my wife had been quietly sitting on for a good number of years. Odele, isn’t dead. She’s just been put on the back burner. Actually I get to call it a triple whammy. During that time frame we’d also befriended a fellow writer, and have since stayed in touch. We still have aspirations of working on a project together one day. And we’ve both been patiently hunting for an opportunity since.
That was a year ago, and opportunities. Well they just don’t seem to be there. That got me thinking today. Well, actually like I’d mentioned before. It kind of hit me like a freight train. “Dude, I should just make my own damn comic book.” Then I remembered that I couldn't draw worth a shit, and for a second I kind of pushed the idea out of my head. Till I thought back on Sin Blanca. I’ve done three installments now. Each three panels long. Each a little more intricate then the last. Sort of like character development. Or early storyboard concepts. And that’s when it really hit me.
“I don’t need to find an artist to make a comic book. I already have one…Me.”
I’m not even sure it’s ever been done before but that is my plan. I’m going to start a new story (there’s a reason for that). My aim is for a short forty page graphic novel. Dark, dry, dirty, and left wide open for the opportunity to further the story. Simple. I already have a new protagonist. Sin. To turn it into a graphic novel, I’m not going to call on artists to draw me up pages though. I’m going to rally a few friends, pass a script around, and create the entire thing with my camera.
I’m gonna make a comic book with processed pictures. Hence the reason for a new story. I can think outside of the box, but only as far as what my camera lens can feasibly capture. A ten story building blowing up, and then collapsing. Cool as that might sound. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be able to get a picture of that. I have limitations. But this isn’t the first time I’ve had to write under scrutiny, and really I’m limited only by what I think I can shoot, and post process. Beyond that. The sky is the limit.
If all goes well I hope to have a decent story in the next few months. Rally a few friends to enlist as cast, and hopefully shooting will begin on schedule early to mid spring.
I have a feeling this is going to be fun as hell.

This car competed in the 2¼ hour long Gentlemen Drivers GT and Sports Endurance Race at the HGPCA's International Historic Grand Prix meeting at Donington Park in May 2004. It's shown in the programme of the event as a 1961 3.9 litre Aston Martin DB4 GT to be driven in the race by Wolfgang Friedrichs and David Clark, but it is actually Wolfgang Friedrichs' replica of the Aston Martin Project 214 cars that were built in 1963.
