A beautiful, remote and culturally rich country infamous for its military regime, Myanmar (Burma) has in recent years been making small steps towards democracy, with the first democratically elected government in 2015, after more than half a century.
Modern conveniences, such as mobile-phone coverage and internet access, are now common, however for all the recent changes, Myanmar remains at heart a rural nation of traditional values - though one may have hard time to find someone among the younger generation without a smartphone or Facebook profile.
One will still encounter men wearing the sarong-like longyi and chewing betel nut, spitting the blood-red juice onto the ground, women with faces smothered in thanakha (a natural sunblock), and cheroot-smoking grannies. Trishaws still ply city streets, while the horse or bullock and cart is common rural transport.

We carefully planned our 3-weeks long Burmese adventure around 6-days long hiking trip in the remote Chin state, where we commenced our journey in the hilltop settlement of Mindat, and subsequently hiked for four days across ethnic minority villages using old footpaths and mule trails.
Besides that, Bagan was the obvious spot to spend a few days exploring its temples, and we also spent a few days more in the south around Hpa-An. Then, finally, Ngapali was the ultimate destination for our beach leisure time.

On our trek through the Sierra del Escambray we came upon this remote farm house where they keep some pigs and chickens.
The farmers here were very friendly, offering us some fruit they'd collected from the surrounding trees.
Dancers: Kyoko Harris & Daniel Lin
Dancers’ expressions always captivate me, as they use their bodies to paint fantastical portraits of vivid emotion.
Added a bigger battery pack for the Q-steer remote (AAA batteries).
Going to work on a charger for the LR43 button batteries next...
The boy seems older tan his age. You will think he did not wash his clothes for a month. But the clothes he is wearing are all he have. He will be nacked if he wash them.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo, make a comment or Fave it.
Taken at Contempt!, a monthly club event at Remote Lounge in the Bowery, NYC. Remote Lounge has remote-controllable cameras at every booth and monitors that can view any camera for voyeurism or teleflirting. They're also good for taking pictures with a camera of people taking pictures with cameras of the pictures some camera is taking.

I considered repurposing a nano case for the remote. zCover also sells a case made specifically for the remote.

A remote junkyard discovered in Belgium where the owner has amassed an extra-ordinary collection of old vehicles - mostly ex-military and mainly lorries and trucks, many of them from the Cold War era - that are now (2016) rusting and rotting away.
A couple of years ago, on another trip through Belgium, I'd set out to find another pinewood filled with rows of abandoned old cars, near a place called Chatillon, only to find that the entire site had been cleared a few years previously.
The discovery of this this yard - another "autofriedhof" as the Germans would call them - near the border with Luxembourg, was fair compensation for failing to get to Chatillon before everything there was sent to the crusher!
Here are my 4 pieces for the new show at OhNo!Doom Gallery in Chicago - it's opening on February 11th and it's called:
"Super Button Mashers: A gamer tribute @ OhNo!Arcade": A video game theme carnival of crazy!
This show is curated by Mr. Max Bare and was brought to our Plushteamers' attention by the fabulous miss Lana Crooks :)
I decided to go old school for this and did a Pong arcade game plush, a Frogger climbing up its log, a couple ghosts with Mr. PacMan and a plush remote with the famous Konami code on it!
I hope you will be able to go see the show in person. Pass the word around, it's going to be awesome!
Cheers,
Hibou
Remote controls for the TV consoles in our seats on the plane. LG played solitair for a LONG time with this. Next thing you know she'll be wanting a game console.

Two days ago we moved from a big quiet 4br house way out on Long Island into a tiny 1br apartment closer to NYC for a few months. Doesn't sound like much fun, but on the plus side there are some *pretty* decent views, which are even better from the roof of the place. So I went up there tonight and took some shots of the Empire State, the skyline, the Queensboro bridge, the subway, the traffic, and of course the trains. Mike Johannessen showed me his panning setup a year or two ago and although I don't have the gear, I thought I'd steal the idea on a few trains coming out of the East River tunnels and heading out onto Long Island or to Sunnyside for turning and stabling. Result: a few wobbly, dark, bad pics. Then this guy showed up - maybe he was transitioning from third rail to onboard diesel power because his pickup shoe made a big flash before he came slowly into view. Then he flashed just as I pushed the shutter which lit up the dark loco and everything - wow - did I get that? I like taking remote flash pictures, but this was the remotest one ever. Handheld 1 sec at f 3.2 ISO 160 200mm if you're taking notes!
When flying I usually book the window seat. Although I am pretty tall I always prefer to squeeze into the window seat in order to enjoy the view outside. While for the most time this is rather boring, sometimes it all fits. Nice soft light and amazing landscape patterns.
This place below is somewhere in the middle of Newfoundland, Canada on a flight to Newark. It's so remote that I could not even find a street close by. So I wonder how many humans have ever visited this place.
Something i knocked up quickly to enable me to attach the wireless remote control onto the tripod (freeing up the hotshoe on the S100fs)
It just clamps onto your tripod leg and plug remote into camera.
You need:
1x Cold Shoe adaptor
1x Tool Clip (correct size to fit your tripod leg diameter)
1x 6mm long bolt
All parts are available on Ebay etc
Cheap and useful gadget?
