I felt inspired to process this old image of mine like this because of an article I recently read about Lomochrome Purple Film (Read about it here)

I thought it looked really interesting so before I go get my hands on some I thought I'd try to replicate the effect in PS.
Small self-replicating bits of nucleic acid are a simple and essential intermediate in the origin of life, but calling them "viruses" is a stretch. The distinction is that so far as I know, every modern virus known to man is a) incapable of making protein and b) requires protein to function. This is no small distinction, because the entire elaborate structure of the ribosome and its associated factors and metabolic machinery are required for usual methods of protein synthesis. (There are some clever alternatives used for making antibiotics - see Nonribosomal peptide - but I'm not aware of any virus making a capsid, etc. using such tricks) I cannot swear to you that no primordial snippet of catalytic RNA could have survived from the beginning of the world until this day without ever having been part of a normal cycle of cell replication, but if it did, it has somewhere along the line developed a great need for ribosomes it doesn't have, and has borrowed enough sequences from ribosome-containing cells to make all the protein-coding genes we identify in it today.
Of course, you could postulate that self-replicating RNAs developed protein synthesis before the proper cell membrane, and then some never became part of cells. The problem is that it is hard to picture a complete protein biochemistry, at least one of the usual ribosome-oriented type with loose aminoacyl-tRNAs and the wizard's stew of biochemical precursors to amino acids, existing free or within a typical tight-packed viral capsid. One would think that the such a protein synthesis machinery open to the environment would have special adaptations to keep components from escaping, and probably would have use some more rudimentary genetic code than the completed cell. Yet none of these primitive features show up in viruses either.
The bottom line is that viruses by their nature could have picked up snippets of code anywhere, but they are not primordial organisms from the first days of life. Wnt (talk) 15:32, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Following up on the exploration of Alan Jaras, David Hull and John Swierzbin I used my modified brain wave camera to examine the area around BL86/DS51/R15. It seems John's worst fears regarding gamma ray energy are confirmed. These high energy sources are somehow combining to form light or energy entities. They seem able to replicate. Is this a new lifeform. If so it seems more like a virus using whole planets and stars as a host in order to multiply. The edge of the galaxy is now littered with lifeless dead planets
Single long macro exposure
Here's a view of Aaron Delehanty’s desk in the Replications Lab. He is testing resin samples with different surface treatments and colors. Replicating objects with the degree of accuracy required for exhibitions involves a deep understanding of your materials. The work demands diligence, curiosity, continued practice, and ongoing experimentation with materials. Replications artists are a bit like chemists perfecting a formula.

Veterans Memorial Park, Cape Coral, Florida. This memorial park was a very moving experience for me and I was compelled to take a moment for a silent prayer and to salute the flag as a former member of the US Navy.
St Mary, Worstead, Norfolk
Worstead is always a good place to start a Norfolk church-exploring bike ride. The little station sits a mile or so to the west of the village, which is large enough to feel as if it might have intended to have become a town once, but didn't. One this warm day at the end of August 2019 there was nobody about, just a fat cat lazily rolling in the village square. The sun was cutting the haze, the sky wide and blue. It was like being in France.
Worstead church is absolutely enormous, and hemmed in by the walls of a tight little graveyard. Like the church at Salle, and at Southwold in Suffolk, St Mary was all built in one go, pretty much. This happened in the late 14th century. As at Salle, it is reflective of a large number of bequests from different people over a short period rather than anyone fabulously rich doing it on their own, and the money, of course, came from wool. Worstead is still recognised as the name of a fabric today.
I said it was pretty much built at one go, but there was still plenty of money about in the 15th century to raise the clerestory and install a hammerbeam roof. This seems to have been such an ambitious project that flying buttresses had to be installed on top of the aisles to hold the top of the nave up, an expedient measure that has left the building both interesting and beautiful. It was my third visit of the summer, and once again I stepped out of the sunlight into the slight chill of a vast open space.
Even if you don't easily warm to big churches and prefer the little ones, St Mary is so pretty inside that it is hard not to love it. This is partly helped by the removal of all pews and benches from the aisles. Those that remain in the body of the church are lovely 18th century box pews, quite out of keeping with the medieval nature of the rest of the building, but quirky and oddly delightful. The great tower arch is elegant, and is thrown into relief by the towering font cover. The ringing gallery under the tower is dated 1501, and is reminiscent of the one not so very far off at Cawston. The 19th Century tower screen below it is a perfect foil for the medieval details to the east. The paintings in the dado depict Christian virtues and are apparently copies of windows by Sir Joshua Reynolds at New College, Oxford.
Worstead is famous for its roodscreen, but perhaps this is more because of its height, elegance and completeness than its historicity. The figures on the dado have been repainted sumptuously, but not always with an eye to authenticity. Most, though not all, depict disciples, and yet several are replicated on the unrepainted aisle screens, suggesting that they may once have been different figures to the ones we see now. From north to south they appear to be a dreadfully repainted Christ the Man of Sorrows, a similarly poor St Paul, St James the Less, St Philip, St Simon, St Jude, St Matthew, St John, St Andrew, St Peter, St James, St Thomas, St Bartholomew, a figure labelled St Jerome who looks very much as if he was originally St Matthias, and then the two oddest figures, St William of Norwich holding three nails and then a figure crucified, arms tied to the spans. This is be the infamous St Uncumber, also known as St Wilgefortis, the bearded lady of early medieval mythology. Later, she was crucified, probably upside down. Across the top rail, a dedicatory inscription winds, mysterious and beautiful.
The aisles extend either side of the chancel. Each has its own small screen with just four figures. The four figures at the entrance to the north side are St Peter, St Paul, St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist. Three of these are also on the rood screen, suggesting that either the images there are wholly Victorian, or these aisle screens came originally from elsewhere. The south aisle chapel is simpler. The screen features another St Bartholomew, another St Philip, St Lawrence and a bishop, probably St Thomas of Canterbury.
But this church is in any case a building to wander around in, a place to enjoy for its great beauty as much as to interrogate for its medieval authenticity. As you turn corners, vistas open up. The view from the font to the south door, for example, or that back to the west from the chancel. All perfect, all stunning.
DNA single-strand repair protein, Parp-1 (green dots), also helps with doublestrand breaks, according to Sugimura et al. At replicating regions of the genome (red and bue dots) Parp-1 slows the replication fork to allow double-strand repair enzymes to work. (JCB 183(7) TOC1)

The bacterial chromosome constitutes the prototypic replicon. It contains a single, genetically defined 245-bp sequence (OriC). Replication is initiated when the replication initiator — dnaA — binds to four specific 9-mers within OriC. The three 13-mers are then melted to form an open complex that guides the entry of helicase (dnaB) . b | SV40 is a typical eukaryotic viral DNA replicon. Site II (64 bp) is the main recognition site, which contains four GAGGC palindromes that are necessary for binding of two T-antigen hexamers. Site I is an auxiliary binding site for a T-antigen dimer. EP, early palindrome. c | Saccharomyces cerevisiae origins (autonomously replicating sequence, ARS) are also genetically defined. The origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to domain A, which contains an 11-bp core consensus (A/TTTATA/GTTTA/T), and to domain B1. Domain B2 contains an easily unwound sequence, whereas domain B3 is a binding site for a transcription factor Abf1 (ARS binding factor 1). d | Multicellular eukaryotes have site-specific, usually (A+T)-rich origins. These sites have a variable size, contain one or several potential origins and usually lie outside coding regions.
A replicate of Goddard's liquid fueled rocked is on display in the Starship Gallery of Space Center Houston.
Rocket pioneer Dr. Robert H. Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket on March 16, 1926. This is an identical replica of the original rocket, which burned liquid oxygen and gasoline and rose 41 feet and traveled 184 feet at an average of 60 mph. Before Goddard's liquid-fueled rocket, rockets used gunpowder and other forms of solid rocket propellant. Goddard unofficially inaugurated the space age and changed the future of rocketry when he began using liquid fuels, which produce more acceleration. For the first time, space flight became a real possibility. Goddard's early rocket had an unfamiliar design: it had a combustion chamber and nozzle at the top of a frame mode up two vertical tubes, which carried the liquid fuel from the tanks at the bottom.
Space Center Houston is the official visitor center of NASA Johnson Space Center and a Smithsonian Affiliate Museum owned and operated by the nonprofit Manned Spaceflight Education Foundation. The center opened in 1992 and hosts more than 1 million visitors annually in its 250,000-square-foot educational complex with over 400 space artifacts, permanent and traveling exhibits, attractions, live shows and theaters dedicated to preserving the history of America's human spaceflight program.
The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Manned Spacecraft Center, where human spaceflight training, research, and flight control are conducted. Construction of the center, designed by Charles Luckman, began in 1962 and the 1,620-acre facility officially opened for business in September 1963. The center is home to NASA's astronaut corps, and is responsible for training astronauts from both the U.S. and its international partners. It has become popularly known for its flight control function, identified as "Mission Control" during the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo–Soyuz, and Space Shuttle program flights. It is also the site of the former Lunar Receiving Laboratory, where the first astronauts returning from the Moon were quarantined, and where the majority of lunar samples are stored.
ODC2 replicate an ODC explored picture.
I got this one from Sharon Gerald,
www.flickr.com/photos/sgerald/5615666323/
I did not like the light outside today, and i might not get a shot later so I took it on my favorite TV console. Please don't mind the dust spots, they seem to appear out of thin air, quite litterally.
This challenge felt a bit....blah....
The reason is : I can't copy an explored. I mean...I could...but yet those explored pictures are there for a reason. They are special pictures taken on a certain day, at a certain moment, catching a certain light that make people go wow. In many cases, i am not sure if the photographer himself could replicate his/her work (maybe for studio still life they could). Isn't it what makes photography so special? capturing this unique moment and make it last forever?
