Today marks the last day of my “365”project. What an experience. It has been a fantastic journey. The most important thing that I learned along the way was “I Learned to See” Everything that I looked at, became a potential photograph.
I learned to see Light, Shadows, Reflections, Shapes, and Lines. I also became very familiar with all of the different settings on my cameras. I used a Canon 1DS Mark II, a Canon G10 and my trusty Canon 20D which I carried on my motorbike.
Now there were days when the inspiration was seriously lacking, but I always managed to grab a shot during the day. Trying to plan a day ahead also helped.
A note book to jot done ideas, and places to re-visit for that photograph and a reminder on my mobile phone, set to go off at 11.00 am each day. I found the reminder was very helpful in the first few weeks, as there may have been other things happening on the day, and taking your daily photograph may slip your mind.
I would like to thank my family and friends, for all their support and comments and also my new friends on Flickr.
Another project completed. This time is was the bathroom ceiling. My sister and I painted the walls the day after I moved into the house. We were just too tired to do ceilings!! Got rid of the semi-gloss sheen on my ceiling and now have a fresh brilliant flat white to help the bathroom seem brighter!
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.
CEA Project Logistics have a proven track record in specialised transport, one of our areas of expertise is Helicopter Transportation having completed several projects previously for the Sikorsky group and their Seahawk SH-60. This experience was a key factor when a new client chose our specialised transport services for several Agusta Westland AW149 medium class helicopters.
The Royal Thai Navy have ordered 5 Aircraft all to be delivered in 2017, CEA were employed to carry out all unloading at Laem Chabang Port and transportation to the Utapao Navy Base for assembly, after assembly the helicopters would fly to their new base in Northern Thailand to replace the Bell UH-1H helicopter.
The helicopters arrived at Laem Chabang Port A-5 on the NYK vessel Oceanus Leader. Each helicopter was shipped on a mafi-trailer with a bespoke fabricated saddle for the rear landing gear. Laem Chabang Terminal Tractors removed the helicopters from the Oceanus Leader positioning them next to the CEA 50 Tonne mobile cranes. Each helicopter was lifted from the mafi-trailer by a specialised hook attached to the main rotor, the five shackles of the hook were fixed to the main rotor by five lifting slings. The helicopters were lowered on to awaiting Air Ride trailers each fitted with a saddle for the rear landing gear.
Wooden chocks were placed on the front landing gear and lashing applied. CEA further secured the cargo with more two more lashing slings connected to the rings on either side of the fuselages. Other aircraft accessories were also loaded and secured. After each helicopter was lashed and secured the convoy began the 70km journey to the Royal Thai Navy base at Utapao, Rayong province.
A CEA escort vehicle was used throughout this specialised transport project to ensure maximum safety on the route to Utapao. Upon arrival at Utapao, the CEA teams removed the lashing allowing the 50 Tonne mobile cranes to lift the helicopters from the trailers using the same method as before and placing them in their respective hangers. Project duration from start to finish was 7 hours.
I've just had an identity crisis and have updated my dolly blog and website to projectdollhouse.com (giving Les Jeunette a bit of a break)

Bromine, symbol Br, atomic number 35 is a red, non-metallic liquid discovered in 1826 by Antoine Balard in a salt marsh. *Though perhaps a German student Carl Lowig found it first but didn't get around to claiming it. Bromine is not something you want to stick your nose in, as it is irritating, burning and hazardous, with a noxious vapor.
The name bromine comes from the Greek for "bromos" or stench. The stench might even be that attributed to a stinky goat.
From bromine, we get bromides, which are compounds containing bromine. An example is silver bromide is used in photographic processes.
Bromine/bromide has also influenced language. That is the use of bromide to mean dull, uninteresting, trite and tiresome. To quote wordsmith.org: " In earlier times, potassium bromide used to be taken as a sedative. So any statement that was intended to be soothing ("Don't worry, everything will be OK.") acquired the name bromide. Eventually any commonplace or tired remark and anyone uttering such remarks came to be known as a bromide."
From this boring "bromide" comes "bromidic," the adjective form.

My print was created by screen print with 3 screens for 3 color process. Due to some learning curve errors, in the end my screens were created by painting the negative space with screen filler.
I used the image of a goat after reading a reference to "stench of the goat" relating to the Greek word for stench. This goat is standing by a marsh and inhaling the nasty red vapor of bromine (but he doesn't mind, because he already smells).
After I had designed the image, I went on to read about the linguistic connection between bromine and bromide/bromidic. I thought that was really interesting. I always like when sedation leads to new words. Nowadays I don't think these terms are used much, but we should put them back into use. It can be the new cool slang if we get the right people saying it in public. It's basically the equivalent to "triflin'" (trifle-ing) anyway.

I love this project, everybody's prints, and can't wait to see where this goes. Thanks to azuregrackle and everybody else. Various internet sources were used in obtaining the above info about bromine.

Scan of a 9.5x12 print from a portrait project exploring identity. Taken on Ilford HP5 Plus, film processed by and print made by myself.
Scanned with my A4 scanner/printer so I lost some of the edges.
Took some great classes and learned soooooo much!
I took the fabric dye class by Stacy Mitchell 2 years ago and have used the fabric to make my purse labels. I just love her! She is a local artist with international connections. Her annual open house is April 18th. I plan to be there!!
Took some excellent knitting classes. Learned a bunch... good since I really know VERY little. I did the smallest knitting with beads and may make a beaded bracelet instead of the little purse that was the project. Helen, our instructor, has been knitting since she was a small girl.
The hand beading class was amazing... learned so much. I knew nothing before the class and know enough to start experimenting. June Colburn was an inspirational teacher.
Loved the felted bowl and the crochet flowers class instructors. Very helpful! They made the concepts easy to grasp. Both were from a local yarn shop..."The Whole Nine Yarns". Lovely yarns in their booth.... drool!
Something quite different... took a locker hook clutch class. Fascinating textures created with yarns and fabric strips. I now see a way to use my remnants in a beautiful creative way!!!
Textiles! Fibers! FUN!!! =)
The apprentice projects section was a comfy little hole. This picture surprises me as I don’t recall many of these faces as ever having worked in here at the time that this photo would have been taken. This was where the models, of various sizes and types, were made. The little brass one’s [to be given to visiting dignitaries] were a pain in the arse, even though they looked good. Three weeks to make, eight weeks to polish. I can still taste the polish now.
