I ROBOT
This is one of the first books I ever read after leaving school and it took me down the long road of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, J G Ballard, Frederic Pohl, Jack Williamson, Robert A Heinlein and so many others.
So this is a little tribute to those imaginative folk who put pen to paper, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The little clock character was a birthday gift of many moons ago, he seemed appropriate to go on the shelf too. A bit cranky now, he doesn’t stand up by himself but leans in a very casual way and is a good timekeeper.
The next bit is a bit weird, I don’t own a copy of Asimov’s “I Robot” because it’s not in Penguin Books and I only collect Penguin Science fiction but I might make an exception and buy it along with the ‘Foundation' series at some time.
Hope some of you have enjoyed Sci/Fi too and have appreciated those writers and their imaginations. Here are a couple of other titles that I think have gone down in history as classic fiction.

I wish the short videos that start with flourless, sugar-free, eggless, dairy-free... cake were a dream.

TMI Robotics Club prepares for Saturday's Getting Excited About Robots (GEAR) competition at UTSA. They will compete against more than 150 teams with a robot they have designed and programmed to complete various tasks in as limited time as possible.
He should be careful pretending to be an astronaut; a drop of 1mm and a twist clockwise and he would have been a smoothie.
First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws
When my son was very little he asked me why there were robots lining the Edinburgh City Bypass. I told them that they were sentries whose job was to protect the wild animals from crossing the bypass and getting injured or killed. I took this photo from just beside the busy dual carriageway. The beautiful Pentland Hills are in the background.
I took this photo at the Forum in the city of Groningen, the Netherlands, looking up at the escalators....
Camera+Lens: Robot Star iia with Xenon 1.9/40mm
Film: Ilford XP2
"Robot II Luftwaffe Eigentum Black, an outstanding Army Robot Camera.
During the world war II, Otto Berning produced his famous Robot Luftwaffe Eigentum
( Air force property), this was a special production of flight recognized cameras.
This is a beautiful F serial, 4th version of 1942, with Long-long advance knob
(48 exposures) and two holes on top. The F serial comes from the german
word "Flieger" or "Flyer", with the famous Sonnar 7,5 cm lens,
in aluminium body of 1941, a rare war time lens, the most popular lens was the
Tele-Xenar of 7,5 cm, the Biotar 2,0, and the Xenon 1,9 lens. Only a few units of this
versión was fited with the Carl Zeiss 7,5 cm Sonnar.
The camera was used in several German fighter planes like the Messerschmitt BF 109 and 110
and the Focke Wulf 190. In the last one the camera was mounted in a cradle in the right
wing and was connected with the guns. The camera could also be used handheld by the crew
This is a very little master piece of collection. Some research say that 20.000 units
were made."

As soon as Burning Man 2018 ended, "Robot Resurrection" (right) paid a visit to "Big Charles... (An homage to Charlie Smith)" (left).
Both robots are creations by Shane Evans.

Photographer John Guarino recently noticed this robot face on his back porch, made up of his hat and binoculars, and captured it with his Helios 44-2 58mm M42 lens mounted on his Fujifilm X-T1 with a Fotodiox M42 to FX adapter. Click here to learn more about our lens adapters: bit.ly/3074FHg

An ice robot at the end of a Breakwater. See the two pointed things sticking out of the pole halfway up? I saw those as elbows, and now I can't unsee this as a figure with a bug boxy head, wearing robes, standing with its hands on its hips, looking out over the water. Robots don't usually wear robes - but the boxy head makes me think robot. (Pareidolia!)
This is the breakwater at 31st street beach a couple weeks ago before the thaw. Covered in ice that must have built up all winter.
This shot was taken with a polarizer, which is why the colors are a bit different than in some of the other photos of the same breakwater at the same time.
