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.

Thanks to my buddy Arthur for showing me around Toyota corporate headquarters. Check out that Scion FR-S concept car. I wonder how many baby car seats I could fit in the back of that...
Well another month has passed. I have hardly been on Flickr as life is a bit crazy at the moment.
You may recognise a couple of the images in Mays installment as they are old images that I have reworked.
I once again apologise for the video quality as it was OK until I uploaded it
the Raleigh group Summer Project was judged, tonight (Friday), and therefore all our entries are freed up to bear our names and be uploaded for all to see.
Here.. is mine.
We had a month to create and execute our entry, limited to one print. One of the breakthrough areas for me, personally, was to spend a whole month with a concept and begin building it right away, evolving it over the month's time, instead of the last minute brinksmanship I'm used to. I did leave open the choice of what to go with, but this particular concept had some sticking power for me, so it won out along about week 2.5, so I got busy with it.
I would say that, given Too much time, it's so easy to overwork an idea, but it's useful to be able to build a concept illustration to its realization. Along the way, there were lessons and practice of new Photoshop skills, which I may find useful in the future, too.
I created the smaller inset images using other self-portraits as Photoshop "Smart Objects" placed in the base image, which, too, was a Smart Object, enabling me to swap it out a couple of times for new combinations, resizing without losing any quality in the process. Each row of the insets is a group of smart object images, and can be reconfigured at will for other layout possibilities. I had been wanting to get familiar with Both the layer groupings and smart objects, and it made it much easier to retweak and retain the quality in the process.
"777 Strangers Project" será mi primer proyecto fotográfico, se basa en retratar personas totalmente desconocidas para mi. La idea se me ocurrió al ver el proyecto de una fotógrafa llamada Laura Zalenga en el cual ella retrataba a personas desconocidas de diferentes ciudades. Es totalmente un reto por el hecho de tener que pedirle a un extraño que pose para tu cámara, algunos me dirán que si y otros que no pero ese es lo interesante del proyecto. Así que poco a poco iré subiendo los retratos, será una gran experiencia que quiero compartir con ustedes. Espero que la disfruten tanto como yo.
___________________________________________________________
"777 Strangers Project" will be my first photo project, it’s about taking pictures of completely unknown people. The idea came to me as I was looking at photographer Laura Zalenga’s project, in which she basically takes pictures of strangers in different cities. It’s a total challenge by the mere fact of having to ask someone to pose for you, some of them will say yes, others no, but that’s what makes this project interesting. So, I’ll gradually upload the pictures, It’ll be a great experience that I want to share with you all. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I will.

In the early 19th Century Robert Pocock was the first local printer, historian, antiquarian and natural history observer in the town of Gravesend in Kent (UK). He was a major figure in the history of the town. He had a 'museum' of artifacts, collected by himself but also acquired from all over the world. His collections included thousands of local plants in an herbarium which, in 2013, the Robert Pocock Herbarium Project set out to find at the Natural History Museum.
From a title page in the Pocock collection in Gravesend Library. Is this Pocock's handwriting or an annotation from someone else?

I used a metal texture with soft light blend mode at 100% then erased off my daughter. I had been planning on taking her to the river for some senior pictures and wanted the parasol to go with the setting. I loved the result. We were, however, fighting the rain and with it very dark light. The on camera speedlight flash saved me.

The PROJECT
Ein dokumentarisch-fiktiver Abend über Identität
In Anlehnung an «The DNA-Project» der Künstlerin Marina Belobrovaja
von und mit Enzo Scanzi TEATRO MATTO
Wohin und zu wem gehören wir? Menschen, die sich in der Gegenwart verunsichert fühlen, suchen nach Verankerung, zum Beispiel in ihrer Herkunft. Wissenschaftliche Beweise lösen soziale Zugehörigkeit ab und gleichzeitig wird kaum etwas so emotional diskutiert wie Identität und Herkunft. Die in Zürich lebende ukrainisch-isrealische Künstlerin Marina Belobrovaja hat 49 Juden und Jüdinnen aus der Schweiz, aus Deutschland, Russland, Israel und aus der Ukraine zum Jüdisch-Sein interviewt. Roter Faden ist die Reaktion der Interviewten auf das jeweils vorangehende Gespräch. So entsteht eine Art DNA-Kette.
Das dokumentarische Material beleuchtet die Sehnsucht nach Selbstverortung und konfrontiert uns mit der Frage: Wer und was sind wir?
Premiere Do 25. September 2014, 20 Uhr

“白求恩”游说三指理念
2014年05月13日 星期二 新京报
分享：
5月6日，宣传自己“三指”理念的加拿大老外“大龙”。
人物简介
大龙 原名菲利普·麦克马斯特，年龄保密，来自加拿大蒙特利尔北部的山区，独立环保人士。因为喜欢中国，他给自己取名大龙。他是电视纪录片白求恩的扮演者，但这只是他中国生活的很小一部分。他还有很多头衔，商务可持续发展麦克马斯特学院的首席研究员及创始人，加拿大蒙特利尔大学HEC商学院MBA教授，香港中文大学MBA教授，中科院客座研究员。
如果有一天，你在街边碰到一个留着大胡子的高鼻梁老外，他或许还穿着一身有点破旧的八路军军装，冲着你伸出三根手指头说“经济社会环境”或“天、地、人”，你可千万别感到意外。和他一起合张影吧，记得以后每次照相时，伸出你的三根手指头，而不是俗套的“剪刀手”，加入大龙的行动一起来保护地球。
为什么是三根指头？大龙掰着食指、中指和无名指，逐个念着“经济、社会、环境”或是“天、地、人”，每一根指头代表其中一个词，只有三者平衡，世界才会可持续发展。他懂的中文不多，这几个词却发音准确，因为常挂嘴边。
多年来，大龙一直致力于可持续发展这一世界性重大课题，发起了世界“和平+1”可持续发展项目。2008年，大龙把自己进行可持续发展事业的办公室设在北京。他相信，中国人有以“天地人和”为基础的传统文化，一旦行动就可改变世界。
“八路”背着公仔宣传公益
初次见到大龙，他背着一个破了口的大包，身穿八路军军装和白裤子，头戴八路军军帽，大把的络腮胡子遮住了他大半个脸。他会先从手机里翻出照片告诉你，他曾在电视里扮演过白求恩。
他会让你注意军帽上排成三角形的三颗黑色小纽扣，这是他接下来要讲的重点。随后，他从包里翻出了“三指理念”的海报和他的小伙伴——两只已经不怎么白的一大一小熊猫公仔和一只肚皮破了线的小黄鸭公仔。熊猫是中国的象征，而鸭子则代表着快乐，缺一不可，它们陪着大龙走过很多地方，已被无数人拥抱过。
熊猫原本胖嘟嘟的上肢，被大龙戴上了白手套，而手套也被做成了三指手势。
大龙喜欢让你抱着熊猫或鸭公仔，和他一起做“三指手势”，大声喊出“天地人和”，如果碰到的是和他一样的老外，他更愿意喊“经济社会环境平衡”，因为西方的文化理解这个口号。他会带着相机，随时随地收集世界各地的人摆出的三指姿势，并在网络上传播和分享。
三指手势又被称为“和平+1”可持续手势。在北京定居的7年里，每结识一个人，大龙都会伸出三个指头，和你聊一聊经济社会环境平衡，他会告诉你，每个人都有责任和义务停止继续污染环境。“我很高兴地看到，许多中国公民付诸行动。”
执着的环保宣传者
大龙说，“三指理念”开始于2006年。那时他正在香港中文大学教授MBA，课程内容是经济、社会和环境。但他发现，很多学生不理解这三个词之间的意义。“我需要去引导他们理解其中的含义，理解三者的平衡。”
大龙研究中国文化，把他的可持续发展理念和中国的传统文化相结合，这样就会更容易让中国人理解。现在的大龙，知道“一生二，二生三、三生万物”，老子、孔子、太极、阴阳平衡不离嘴边。
作为白求恩的扮演者，他把白求恩精神和他的可持续发展理念捆绑在一起，经常在很多场合穿着这身八路军军装出镜。他也和很多明星合影，让明星和他一起摆出三指姿势。
菲利斯在一次活动上认识了大龙，接触多了，菲利斯感受到了大龙做公益环保背后的辛酸。大龙生活简单，经常一天只吃一顿饭，“他没有挣钱的概念，所有心思都在三指项目上，那是他的价值。他的厕所墙壁写满他的计划，房间堆满各种书稿，与他见面聊的都是他的可持续理念。他的执着和乐观超乎常人。”
大龙的周三倡议
为了让大家行动起来，大龙发起周三倡议，周三是每周中间的一天，他希望大家不妨就在这一天做些小小的努力：学会微笑、尝试改变和拔掉插头节约用电。
大龙说，挑选一件事在周三来做一个改变，比如把那些暂时不必被插上的插头一个个拔掉，减少碳排放量。又比如关掉手机三小时，忘记QQ、微信、微博，走出去交朋友。再比如，爱吃肉的你，这一天就吃素吧。“小事情不断重复地做，你就会发现改变。”
当大龙在镜头前摆出他的招牌三指手势时，一旁路过的一对情侣突然停下脚步说，他们认得这个手势，在网上看到过三指理念。http://epaper.bjnews.com.cn/html/2014-05/13/content_511316.htm
Giving away papers with information on 3 Finger Wednesday on the street in Beijing China.
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.
Today was quite a wet one in terms of weather. It was quite hard to find anything that stoudout for me. But luckily you can always look on the bright side of life/weather. On my way to launch today I was standing at the lights waiting to cross when a group on people came up behind me waiting to cross. I had my new Fujifilm Finepix X100 under my jacket and looked to the right of me and found this women standing in the weather with this broken umbrella and just before the lights went green I pulled my camera out a toke this stealthy photo without anyone knowing.
