Prof Stephen Hawking, CH CBE FRS FRSA (8 January 1942 – 14 March 2018). Rest in peace, and kudos on beating the odds and having an amazing life!
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion - Stephen Hawking
Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. - Stephen Hawking
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. - Stephen Hawking
I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth. - Stephen Hawking
I had volunteer goat feeding duties this morning at Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester, Massachusetts. I gave them some pumpkins as an appetizer before their hay. This Boer goat is called Rip, named after the tear in her ear.
Yes, the man who said the iconic Star Wars line "It's A Trap!" in Return of the jedi has sadly passed away at the age of 93...Erik Bauersfeld not only voiced Admiral Ackbar in both Return of The Jedi and The Force Awakens, but also voiced Bib Fortuna. His work will always be remembered! Rest In Peace.

Update (Jan 7, 2018): Clarke Renard passed away peacefully with family next to him. He was with out a doubt one of the nicest human beings I have ever met.
My friend Clarke Renard, who it is in end stage Pancreatic cancer. This photo was taken in early September of 2016 at Willrette Rd in rural Dekalb County, IL Clarke is one of the folks I met on Flickr in 2009/10 who got me into rail photography. One of my best summers was in 2013 when I worked with him in Lawn care. This photo was during the last time I went railfanning with him. The following text in bold is from Jason Leverton (JAYLEV on Flickr) who captioned one of his facebook photos with the following text. His words pretty much sum up Clarke's incredible will to survive, which many of us probably would have given up on, facing such long odds. Please say a prayer for the TRAINUT
This is the guy who continues to defy the odds in his fight against cancer. When doctors said he probably wouldn't make it through August, he promptly told them he would make it to the end of the year because he likes Halloween and he likes Christmas. It's now the first of the year and Clarke has reached his goal. And he has faith that God will continue to extend his life. Clarke is thankful for every day and then quietly prays for one more. Yes, his days are numbered. But so are everyone's. No one wants to think about it, but your day might even come before his. This is why all of us should be thankful for every day. Each day is a gift. Do something with it. Really. Do. Something.
We could learn a lot from dogs.
Not the kind of things that make up a curriculum-
nothing that could be graded, or pass an exam,
but useful things.
How to be happy for no reason,
how to love without diffidence.
How to grab life and squeeze out all the best bits,
of whatever scrap you’ve been flung.

Kassanndra adopted Marnie (named for several horror characters), and Penny (named for Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the cool Tim Curry version), both older dogs, from a Chihuahua rescue.
Unlike the growling, nipping stereotype of this breed, Kassanndra's dogs have been sweet and loving, never yappy or aggressive, always, to everyone.
Kassanndra made me promise, more than once, that if anything happened to her, I would take good care of her dogs.
Marnie used to march around the yard like a big patrol dog making security rounds, but she was moving a little slowly for a couple of days. Still, she was eating, drinking, and irking Penny so I chalked it up to old age finally catching up with her.
She passed away sometime during the night, after she and Penny went to bed.
I'm sure Kassanndra is looking after her again, and has introduced her to her first Chihuahua, Ruby (also a rescue).
R.I.P. Marnie. You're a good girl.
I visited this beautiful city three weeks ago. Today I am overwhelmed by what has just happened. RIP to victims
Now its time for you to spring into the abyss. Give Madilyn an unsolicited kiss if you see her. Your pain is released and you're free.
After a two year battle with cancer Herman decided on Sunday morning that it was time to move on.
Although obnoxious with his disregard for social norms regarding peeing in the house, inappropriately long kisses, and sniffing the foster dogs' private business, he stayed my loyal co-pilot for the last 15 years --- welcoming hundreds of foster dogs and children through our home.
For a decade I couldn't walk anywhere around the home or yard without Herman shadowing. He spent hundreds of hours patiently resting at my feet while I edited photos.
I love you.
"Ripper" a composite of a couple of my images and a couple of other elements.
This one started it's life as a simple composite for an example in some course material I'm putting together.
Wanted to remake my FNaF1 Chica because the head was really bad lol
Besides the beak, she's definitely much more solid IMO. Sharper outlines, fixed bib, proportionate head, etc...
I would fix the eyes, but yellow just does not work with black.
RIP
My daughter adopted Korman from a shelter 9 years ago. He was truly a gentle giant, loved by family and all who met him. He was Tracey's protector and companion while her husband John served tours of duty with the Marine Corps in Iraq and Afghanistan. Korman died peacefully today. He was 14.
Rest in peace Robert Himler. I didn't watch his vids much, but he seemed to be very involved with the car community.
This officially kicks off a new feature, my RIP album. It will be comprised of my photographic subjects that no longer exist. I never like seeing former subjects disappear but am always glad that I have a record of them.
This neon is one of my earliest posts to the Mick L FLICKR photostream and one of the few times that I knew in advance that the building would be demolished. This version of the P-Club ended forever although a much lesser club resurrected the name later at another location.
I took many outside shots over a few days, and the owner of the club kindly allowed me to photograph interior signs on closing night. I was also a long-time patron of the P-Club, which had some good entertainment at times and always offered excellent free popcorn. It was a major entertainment venue in its halcyon days and many hockey and football stars sometimes visited.
I put 10 photos of other some of the other P-Club pics plus other RIP subjects in the album (see below) and will add more with new posts through time.
I was saddened When I heard the news of Jane Goodall passing.
What a strong, intelligent, beautiful and brave woman she was.
Candles at the ready, folks! 56048 wheels MGR empties for Falkland Jn alongside the Firth of Forth at Culross. 8th November 1996. Amazing that this is now history.
I hadn't been to AWT in months. A very sad revelation for me about Rhi.
I stopped in to see if the look had changed again, since I last visited.
I used to visit the dance floor all the time, a very long time ago. An illness robbed me of my exact memories there. But I do remember the good feelings AWT brought me.
Very sad news...

Christopher Lee's death was just announced online today. He passed away on June 7th of respiratory problems and heart failure. He was 93.
I will always remember his portrayal of Dracula in the Hammer films. His presence alone made the role. He was one of my favorite horror actors of all time. His career spanned many genres. He was a prolific and esteemed actor.
You were a brother to me my boy cant believe ur gone . I got ur name on me to remember u and u will never be forgotten SEL.. ERIE RIP
Leaf Ripper - I was seeking an interesting wing shape (I'm keen on these!, e.g. Star-Ship) canted relative to the fuselage. I had fun with the rear engine cowl tying the design together.
The color scheme was lifted from the old Constructicons; this prevented use of locking hinges, as they're unavailable in lime.
When Purple rain casts a weave of purple beauty
Just found out that Prince passed away age 57 today
The great Miles Davis thought that Prince was the cross between the great James Brown and Jimi Hendix
So I shot these flowers sprinkled by purple rain next to my home

This lovely brick building has been destroyed to make room for another luxury over-expensive building. I was fortunate to get that shot just one day before it was destroyed. RIP.
Woke to sad news this morning, Jef Campion, Army of One was found dead of unknown causes on Friday. One of my favorite street artists he is really the reason why I started photographing street art in NYC. His message and heart were pure.
A NY (Yonkers) Firefighter for almost 30 years, Jef was also a huge champion for The Ronald McDonald House... reading the tributes on the web just reinforces what a great guy we have lost.
This shot was taken on May Day in 2012 when I finally got to meet the man, whose work I had been chasing.
RIP Jef your voice will be missed!
I shall post a number of RIPs for buildings that disappeared this year. This was a bad year for disappearing buildings on account of an extraordinarily heavy snowfall over a few days.
This was located on a working farm that was loaded with junk including this house, an old barn, vehicles and several complete ruins. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that this house and the barn were completely gone but most of the other junk remained.
