Concrete pillboxes built to replicate Nazi bunkers rest on an old cattle farm now an area of critical environmental concern managed by the BLM in southwest Oregon, Sept. 26, 2018. BLM photo: Matt Christenson
A quiet oak savanna in southwest Oregon has a World War II story to tell.
It was the summer of 1942 when thousands of young American troops started arriving in Oregon to prepare for battle.
Only months prior, immediately after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into WWII, the U.S. Army broke ground on Camp White, a massively ambitious training ground for troops north of Medford.
The national war effort was ramping up, and from the rationing at home to the drill sergeants yelling at new draftees, the task at hand was unified: Get America prepared for war as fast as possible.
At Camp White, in the heart of the Rogue River Valley, it got loud very quick.
Construction crews worked 24 hours a day until the base, consisting of 1,300 structures, was complete. Barracks, mess halls, a railroad, full electrical grid and sewer system were all built in six months.
And then the troops arrived.
The newly reinstated 91st Division went on 91-mile-long hikes.
They fired bazookas, mortars and tanks.
And they attacked concrete pillboxes built to replicate Nazi bunkers.
Despite creating what was then Oregon’s second most populous city at 40,000 people, there are now only a few lasting structures proving Camp White ever existed. Sadly, there are even fewer first-hand memories.
The pillboxes are still standing, though. They simultaneously represent a mostly forgotten military legacy and since 2013, an opportunity for historic preservation.
After decades of private cattle farming, Camp White’s pillboxes now rest on public land.

This has been a long and convoluted road to posting this image... First off, this image was created as part of the Get Pushed! [www.flickr.com/groups/getpushed/] group\'s Round 50 push by my partner this month: Shreya shreya59. For this round I was given two options. And try as i might, it was way too out there to try to combine them both into one image. So, for this image, the option was to learn the double-exposure technique she had worked with back in R39 - has it been that long ago? [https://www.flickr.com/photos/25799138@N02/10636160755/].
Anyhow, I found out that my camera DOES INDEED use an Image merge where you can merge either 2 or 3 raw images, and they do not have to be consecutively shot either as in the good old days of film. I played around with that, but have yet to get anything worth sharing, but am getting better with it. The other way do do this is in post-processing, where you use two layers and one of the many blending modes. I worked with a few images, including some of the images from my daughter\'s wedding. However, they are not my shots so I won\'t post any of those as part of this push.
On a relevant side bar, my wife and I took my mom out to The Phantom of the Opera, and then to dinner afterwards. At the restaurant I encountered a poster mosaic of Marylin Monroe [posterparty.com/images/marilyn-monroe-quotes-mosaic-poste...] that was made up entirely of quotes people had made of her. That sparked my creative juices, as I could see using the techniques required for this push and push a bit further...
![posterparty.com/images/marilyn-monroe-quotes-mosaic-poste...](\"http://posterparty.com/images/marilyn-monroe-quotes-mosaic-poster-ID1376.jpg\"){kind=link}
It took about a week of putzing around with font size, line distribution, word spacing, drop shadow all play a part in getting this effect. I found I need a whole lot more to replicate the mosaic exactly, but was running out of time. Oh, and full disclosure, October is our 30th anniversary, so guess who I was thinking about???
Shreya, I hope this meets with you approval for the double exposure option. It ended up along a totally different path than what both you and I had expected from our conversation at the start of R50!
As always, thanks for your views, comments and faves!
Replaced both extruder housings and now it seems I can print again.
Thanks to whosawhatsis at the Deezmaker 3d printer store for help with the springs & bearings, and the original idea.

There was a forza video about a photographer who practiced with FM4. This is pretty much the result.
Brooks Stover's Buffalo Creek & Gauley Railroad replicates this classic West Virginia short line in S scale.
Here, BC&G #13 shuffles hoppers at the Rich Run Mine in Widen. While not an exact model of the prototype, the mine captures the character of the real structure. The smoke was taken from a photo of a real BC&G locomotive.
Brooks has created a website to catalog and share his information on the BC&G and how he's modeling it. This website - www.buffalocreekandgauley.com - is the subject of his interview with Jim on Episode 47.

Loved the Replicators, but they were never much of an enemy. They didn’t seem malicious enough, just a bit misguided. I feel sorry about what happened to them in Ghost in the Machine- not to mention what happened to poor Elizabeth. Hope this isn’t the end
Replicating many a shot I've taken here, Amtrak P42DC #206 reposes at the 18th Street Locomotive Facility. Though the locomotives have changed over the years (notice the SC-44 in the background), one constant has been the Continental Paper Grading Company.

Log replacement at Ottawa Lake National Forest. All logs that are replaced are tried to be saved as much as possible but some areas of logs were rotten all the way though. These cabins were CCC constructed log cabins.
Sometimes a painting needs to be replicated using photography. This painting was one of those. And upon arriving I could see immediate challenges.
I didnt have the opportunity to scope where the painting was hanging prior to the day. Arriving and seeing that there was good distance in front of the painting was a relief. There is a large window on the right which gave good natural light, but the light was uneven, which meant extra lighting was needed.
Angles are all important here. Reflections are caused by light reflecting at the wrong angle, straight back at the camera. As you can see here there is a rather substantial stairwell which made locating the second light a little tricky to achieve the right angle. In the end I had someone holding the light by hand hard to the right to give balance. This ensured the angle of both lights was similar giving a more even light spread.
You may see that the painting is VERY dark. I really wanted to get some texture, and also replicate the small amount of tonal variation between the cloak he is wearing and the black background, so the balance in exposure was critical. When I went slightly over the texture in paint was blowing out. I ended up using soft boxes to reduce the harshness. I got a nice balance for the final shots. The frame was very shiny, being gold, which was also helped by the soft boxes.
I used the 70-200 at about 135mm to reduce distortion as much as possible. In the end the was very little adjustment required.
I am really happy with how the final images ended up. Oh, and I got to see some pretty stunning paintings whilst there. This is a private residence with a beautiful collection.
Peace, Denis

My Makerbot Replicator 2X has arrived! I won this baby in the Makerbot Thingiverse Customizer Challenge (: www.makerbot.com/blog/2013/03/10/makerbot-customizer-chal... :) and it arrived in less than 2 weeks.
Sadly it got damaged a little during shipping. From the cardboard box it's obvious that the fedex guys must have handled it quite rough :( but thanks to the excellent and super fast Makerbot support I got it repaired in a few hours :)
I immediately tested the two material print by printing the makerbot coin that is on the SD card that comes with the printer. This worked out of the box :)
Because I really like PLA much better than ABS I then decided to switch to PLA. The switch somehow clogged the right nozzle but this was not really a problem since it's super simple to get to the hot end to clean it :) On the other printers I've used so far a clogged nozzle usually means you spend a few hours taking the extruder apart so it was a very positive surprise that it only took me 15 minutes to clean the nozzle this time :)
Then I printed an emmet bearing because gears are awesome: www.thingiverse.com/thing:53451
And then the first "useful" parts: Two customized spool holders (both in the picture): www.thingiverse.com/thing:44906
After taking this picture I printed the replacement parts that I need for my old 3D printer which broke a few days after I had won the Replicator 2X...I guess it was jealous ;)
To summarize the day: I'm really impressed by this machine so far and I have to print more two color designs ;) Stay tuned for a two colored music box...

This is in a museum in Riga, Latvia, replicating a Soviet-era flat. In one corner of the room, there was a display of toys. This, mind you, was from the monolithic Soviet Union, when Latvia was a Soviet Socialist Republic, part of the Evil Empire. And the children there grew up playing the same games the children here were playing. In the same corner, there was a toy xylophone, some dominos, some dolls; even a small, wooden-sided pinball game. But of course, the leaders of both countries kept that fact from their respective children—that they were pretty much the same as the ones on the other side of the wall, growing up and playing with the same toys. No; the children had to grow up to see the other country's children as the Other. This all saddens me.

A quiet oak savanna in southwest Oregon has a World War II story to tell.
It was the summer of 1942 when thousands of young American troops started arriving in Oregon to prepare for battle.
Only months prior, immediately after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into WWII, the U.S. Army broke ground on Camp White, a massively ambitious training ground for troops north of Medford.
The national war effort was ramping up, and from the rationing at home to the drill sergeants yelling at new draftees, the task at hand was unified: Get America prepared for war as fast as possible.
At Camp White, in the heart of the Rogue River Valley, it got loud very quick.
Construction crews worked 24 hours a day until the base, consisting of 1,300 structures, was complete. Barracks, mess halls, a railroad, full electrical grid and sewer system were all built in six months.
And then the troops arrived.
The newly reinstated 91st Division went on 91-mile-long hikes.
They fired bazookas, mortars and tanks.
And they attacked concrete pillboxes built to replicate Nazi bunkers.
Despite creating what was then Oregon’s second most populous city at 40,000 people, there are now only a few lasting structures proving Camp White ever existed. Sadly, there are even fewer first-hand memories.
The pillboxes are still standing, though. They simultaneously represent a mostly forgotten military legacy and since 2013, an opportunity for historic preservation.
After decades of private cattle farming, Camp White’s pillboxes now rest on public land.
