There is so much going on! I only have two weeks left of my senior year at my university which makes me feel scared and excited at the same time! =S it's all weird, but i guess it'll pass once i decide what to do after all this ends.

Nikon D810 Photos Taken by Nikon D800E! She (The d800E) Was Jealous, But I still Love Her!
The 45surfer bracket setup for simultaneous stills and video (Nikon D810 + 150-600mm Tamron Zoom Lens for Nikon + the new 4K Sony FDR-AX100/B 4K Video Camcorder) allows me to shoot 4K video alongside 36mp stills of the Surf Goddesses! Will be using this setup at the Vans US Open of Surfing in late July in Huntington Beach (Surf City USA!), and the Hurley Pro at Trestles in September! This power was simply inconceivable a few short years ago!
The Nikon D810 is the hottest model I have shot to date, up there with the swimsuit bikini model goddesses! :)
JK, I could shoot the bikini models with a Canon 5D MK3 even and they'd still look good.

Nikon D810 + Sony FDR-AX100/B 4K Video Camcroder Photos Taken by Nikon D800E! She (the D800E) Was Jealous, But I still Love Her!
The Nikon D 810 is mounted on a sturdy aluminum Vanguard Tripod! I prefer the alunimum over the carbon as it is thinner and heavier and has less of a chance of getting caught in a gust and tipping over! Although it happened once at the grand canyon, but I caught it! But the lightweight carbon-fiber with the wider legs would blow away! :)
All the best on your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
I shot both stills & video at the same time during Lakey Peterson's record-setting heat at the pro women's Nike Hurley US Open Surfing contest in Huntington Beach!
Here's some of the video I shot with the above 45WINDSURF / 9SHOOTER rig:

Nikon D4 with AF-S Nikkor 600mm f/4G ED VR & Video Camera @ Huntington Beach!
Shooting some video and photographic stills of surfers at the Nike US Open at Huntingon Beach!
I call the above combination the 45WINDSURFER as it lets you SURF the intermittent waves of stills photography, while catching the constant WIND of video. :) I shoot all my models with a variation of this setup too, using the D800 instead with the 70-200 mm VR2.
Here is my gear for tomorrow's finals:
Nikon D4 with AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR & Video Camera!
The AF-S NIKKOR
600mm f/4G ED VR is a high-speed, high-performance prime lens which features Nikon’s VR image stabilization and Nano Crystal Coat!
The Nikon D4 rocks! It focuses fast and continuously! It can shoot 12 RAWS/second! Ideal for shooting Kelly Slater pulling tricks!
The video camera is the amazing image-stabilized Panasonic X900MK 3MOS 3D Full HD SD Camcorder. The 3MOS Sensor splits the light information captured by the lens into the three primary colors - red, green and blue - and processes each color with its own individual sensor. This reduces light loss compared to the 1MOS sensor. Pixel Shift Technology, which took years to develop, provides a huge number of effective pixels for moving pictures – equivalent to four times the pixel count of Full-HD. This technology renders ultrafine images with excellent color reproduction and superb detail! It is built with an awesome F1.5 LEICA lens! The image stabilization is amazing on this, even at full zoom!
Using a rugged Manfrotto tripod and a Manfrotto Bogen tripod head!
Wish me luck @ the finals! :) Wish you could join me to shoot stills & video of the world's greatest surfers!
These pictures were shot with the Sony Alpha 65 (A65).
The panasonic camcorder shoots at 60P and I slow it down to 24P in post for slow motion!

This store opened in March 1993 as a Finast supermarket. This store was re-branded as Tops around 2000. This store was closed in December 2006 when the Tops chain pulled out of Ohio.
Giant Eagle purchased this store and planned to relocate from Southgate USA into this shopping center in 2007. However, Giant Eagle later chose to remain at the Southgate location after plans were released for a Walmart Supercenter in the same shopping center. The Target in this center also closed leaving this side of Meadowbrook Market Square dead.
Same 3 light set-up prior to my son's 3rd grade biography presentation (Jeff Gordon of NASCAR). Tinkering with the post processing and trying for kind of a sports drink add (similar to a shot I did last summer during soccer season). The Joel Grimes 3 light set-up to start, then a little "Jill Greenberg Like" processing to finish it off.

Here you can see how the same décor element can be applied in different ways. We used a metal chain curtain at all three venues. For the 360 Bar we lit it with a purple glow. At Envy Nightlife we lit it with a tribal pattern with color changing lights and for the Starlight Lounge we put it behind the lettering and lit it with a twilight blue.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: My sister and I have had this outfit since we were kids. I don't even recall anymore how it came to be in our collection. I'm guessing it was in one of the various flea market lots we bought circa 2003/2004. I do remember Colleen playing with this on her Skipper dolls. It made perfect sense, considering that Tinker Bell is the same body mold as Skipper. As an adult collector, this came in handy quickly. I found a nude Tinker Bell at an indoor flea market who had nothing but her panties to wear. There was nothing suitable for her to wear on display...except for this! So although it isn't her original outfit technically, it gets the job done. I actually like it a lot more than her factory getup anyways.

Experience Kolkata Durga Puja........ An Experience of A Lifetime!
October 9 -14, 2013
Durga Puja, the ceremonial worship of the mother goddess, is one of the most important festivals, is celebrated every year in the month of October with much gaiety and grandeur in India and abroad, especially in Bengal, where the ten-armed goddess riding the lion and killing the Buffalo-Demon (Mahishasura) is worshipped with great passion and devotion.
The traditional icon of the goddess worshiped during the Durga Puja is in line with the iconography delineated in the scriptures. In Durga, the Gods bestowed their powers to co-create a beautiful goddess with ten arms, each carrying their most lethal weapon. The tableau of Durga also features her four children - Kartikeya, Ganesha, Saraswati and Lakshmi.
The huge temporary canopies - held by a framework of bamboo poles and draped with colourful fabric - that house the icons are called 'pandals'. Modern pandals in Kolkata are innovative, artistic and decorative at the same time, offering a visual spectacle for the numerous visitors who go 'pandal-hopping' during the four days of Durga Puja.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
Photographed with my flip phone on the same day, in the same parking lot, as the white 2013 Mark 6 Golf hatchback sedan in the picture before this one on this photostream. The only visible difference is that tis one has Connecticut plates.
I don't know how many standard Mark 6 Golfs were sold in the United States, but I see plenty of them around. My neighbor has one, a 2013 model; I have a 2012. When the decision on whether or not to sell the mark 8 Golf in the States still not made at this writing, I would hope that Volkswagen of America would consider the loyalty of its die-hard Europhile customer base in making its decision.
Archaeologist and painter Edward Dodwell (1767-1832), who came from a noble and rich Irish family, was born in Dublin (recitation: Eduard Doduel) and studied literature and archeology at Trinity College in Cambridge. Thanks to the economic comfort provided by his great fortune, he is completely away from the need to acquire a profession and gives himself to the researches about the Mediterranean civilizations.
In 1801, he traveled with Ionian islands (Corfu, Zante etc.) and the region of Troy together with Atkins and well-known traveler W. Gell. In 1805-06, he traveled to Central Greece with his traveling companion, Simone Pomardi. He then settled in Naples and Rome and marries a woman thirty years younger from him. He was an honorary member of many European cultural foundations. He died of sickness while exploring in the mountains of Italy. The large archaeological collection (coins, 115 copper items, 143 amphoras) he created was sold to the Munich Sculpture Museum after being housed in his home in Rome for a while.
Being a prolific writer and visual artist at the same time, Dodwell reveals his multi-faceted talent, consisting of a sense of curiosity, critical gaze and artistic sensitivity as an archaeologist in his works that are unique for his age. For the first time in his work, we witness the real discovery of a "place": While the phenomenon of walking becomes a form of discovering and recognizing (reading) the view, on the other hand, information based on monuments, history, contemporary people and documents all join together in this phenomenon.
The journey, which is described in these two volumes of publications and offers rich data in archeology and topography, constitutes a valuable treasure of information about the public and private lives of the Greeks before the rebellion (before 1821). Dodwell sets off from Venice by taking an intelligent and well-read Greek from Santorini, whom he had met in Italy in late April 1801, as an interpreter. He crosses the Adriatic sea and arrives in Corfu under Russian-Ottoman occupation with his travel companions within a month. Their journey continues towards Paksos islands, Parga, Lefkada (Santa Mavra). Dodwell writes about the nose of Lefkata, where ancient Greek poet Saffo, according to ancient ruins, products, villages and legend, fell into the sea because of his desperate love for Faon. From here go to Preveza and go to Nikopolis. He travels to the archeological site at the village, continues to Ithaka island and writes about the geography and economic situation there and about the search for ancient ruins. Finally, he came to Kefalonia and completed his first trip to Greece with William Gell.
In 1805, Dodwell, along with the artist Simone Pomardi, arrived in Zakinthos (Zante) from the city of Messina in Sicily, where he writes about the villages, population, products; he then goes to Mesolongi. Tepedelenli Ali Pasha writes about the persecution of local people, local products, the Akheloos river and the Echinades archipelago.
After the journey, he reached Patra and became the guest of the consul Nikolaos Stranis. Stranis's mansion had been the meeting place of many European guests for years. Dodwell's trip to Patra confirms his theoretical knowledge about them. Speaking of Contemporary Patra, he writes in an easy-to-understand manner both about the architectural order of the city ("The houses of the Greeks are lime and the houses of the Turks are painted in red") and its economic condition (including products exported from the region). In Patra, he visits the castle, the famous big-bodied cypress tree, the church of Saint Andrea and the holy spring (blessed water source / fountain). He adds the pattern that his travel companion Pomardi has drawn and displays the sacred source. Patra ' Noting that many black slaves were found in Dodwell, Dodwell also made efforts to obtain some archaeological artifacts. As he writes about Patra, he especially portrays the city's historical memory. On the Dodwell route, it documents scientifically its own knowledge as well as the old sources it used to showcase the contemporary reality of Greece and previous travel testimonies.
Due to an epidemic in Dodwell Peloponnese, he chose to go to Athens in another way, passing through Nafpaktos (Inebahtı), Galaksidi (watching the carnival shows here) and passing through Amfisa (here he is a guest at the house of a Kefalonian doctor and visits the voivodeship), climbs to Parnasos mountain, Hriso and stops in Kastri and tour the Kastalya fountain and few ancient ruins that can be seen in Delfi. The road passes through the villages of Arahova and Distomo and takes him to the ancient site of the Trophonius priests in Livadia, from there he continues to other Viotia (Boeotia) villages (Orchomenos, Aliartos, Thespiae). Passing through the Eleutherae road and the Eleusis plain, on March 26, lord Elgin's work teams arrive in Athens when the relief of the Acropolis relief (relief) marbles.
Dodwell will stay here until September and visit almost all of Attica (Pendeli mountain, Fili, Acharnai, Kifisia, Vrauron, Porto Rafti, Thorikos, Lavrion, Sunion, Piraeus) and the Egina and Salamis islands. In addition to archaeological issues, he writes about the folk dances, music and games of the Greeks, even about baths, even insects and birds.
After Athens, it passes through Thiva (Thebai), Kopais lake, Thermopylae and Lamia, Stylis and Almyros to Volos and Pelion; in his article he mentions all the ancient city ruins he met along the way. After that, Larissa and Ambelakia come and are highly affected by the high level of living, cultured people and the cotton yarn dyeing industry. Thessaly plain returns to Athens after passing through Lilaia, Amfikleia, Fokida, Viotia (Boeotia) and stops by Chalkida and Marathon.
He stays in Athens all summer. In December of 1805, we find him touring the Argos-Corinth region: Dafni monastery, Eleusis and its religious mysteries, Megara, Corinthian isthmus, Corinthian fortress, Kechries, Nemea and its vineyards, Acropolis and ancient theater in Argos, the treasure of Mikene and Atreus, The ruins of Tiryns and Nauplion, Epidaurus and Asclepius temple, Troizina, Methana, Poros are the places he traveled and wrote. Then, on the road of Aegion, Sikyon passes through Xylokastron and stops in the local inns, and after Patra, he reaches Olympia on January 24, 1806 by describing all villages of Achaia and Ileia.
In the continuation of the trip, Messini visits Sparta in late February after visiting the ruins in Megalopolis and Vassai. After crossing Arkadiya and Achaia (by stopping at Tegea, Tripoliçe, Mantineia, Orchomenos, Stymphalia, Feneos, Kalavrita, Mega Spilaion), it reaches Patra in the spring and finally reaches Rome on September 18, 1806.
Dodwell (who has drafted about 400 places and monuments) has been aiming to combine the scientific look with art by adding the engravings to them after using the camera obscura technique and documenting the archaeological ruins he has visited recently. The four volumes of his work, published after Dodwell, are a basic handbook for all travelers traveling around Greece and are still considered a very useful resource for archaeological research today.
The work was published 2 years after Dodwell's death in 1834. Publishers received the material to create the book and detailed instructions about the publication from Dodwell himself. Paintings with stone prints and based on Dodwell's own drawings show magnificent relic images from Greece and Italy. These include, in particular, wall forms, acropolis (city hills or endpoints), fortifications, and domed tombs. Engravings showing monuments in Greece are accompanied by descriptive and explanatory texts; the same is not true for monuments in Italy, however, because Dodwell was unable to write his explanations about them. Publishers have not been able to fill this gap. The embroidery of the paintings on stone was made by the well-known engraver C. Hullmandel.
Despite the misrepresentation of naming and identification in some of the architectural remains, Dodwell's work remains a pioneer in terms of both its subject and less-known archaeological sites. The aim of the author was to add this book to his two volume volume "Classical and Topographical Tour in Greece", published in 1819.

taken for Daily Challenge topic - 'something as tall as you'
The playhouse in my yard is always a delightful question mark for me. It is too short for me to stand up in but has 7 windows and nice light. One significant hole in the floor, horrible turquoise and lavender paint inside. The door opens inward, taking up half of the space. Nonetheless I am committed to finding a useful purpose for this delightful old building. But first I have to get a bunch of suitcases and boxes out of it.
Taken at 8:30 in the evening, still enough light to do this...
We do not like the same face and do not like what we love and what we do not like we share the road
So you must be your friend
Same spot as last year, other side of the table at The Sunset Bar and Grill, Maho Beach, Sint Maarten. Little Softer, a lot less colour, and a totally different mood.
If you have read this blog for a while then you will recognize this image, as this is the third time I have offered it on this blog. I first offered the image a couple of years ago, then showed it again as part of the Bromoils For Haiti Project. I am now doing the same to help the people who have been devastated in Pakistan. I am making this print available on eBay, with the full purchase price going to the Red Cross under the bidder’s name so that they get the tax deduction. Below is the full description – please consider bidding, as you will be helping the less fortunate.
—
Two sad lamps tell the story, along with the discarded Styrofoam cup, old telephone, and No Trespassing sign. Could these lamps actually have been for sale, or were they simply used for illumination while the store’s contents was being removed?
The floods in Pakistan have affected 14 million people, more than the Haiti earthquake and Indonesia tsunami disasters combined. There are many organizations trying to help, but their resources are stretched. This is an opportunity to help.
A while back I offered several Bromoil prints to help aid efforts in Haiti, and this time I am doing the same to help those in Pakistan. A Bromoil print is one where the silver of a traditional darkroom print is removed and replaces with lithographic ink by striking it repeatedly with a stiff ink charged brush. It is a time consuming, labor intensive process that results in a unique print, as no two Bromoil prints can be made exactly the same. The print area is 5.25 x 7.5″ (on 8 x 10″ paper) and will be titled and signed by the artist.
The winner of this print will have 100% of their bid price donated to the Red Cross in their name. Following the purchase, I will send the confirmation information for tax purposes. Shipping will be done via Priority Mail® Flat Rate Envelope on the Saturday morning following payment.
So bid well, knowing that not only will you receive a unique piece of art, but also that your entire bid price will go to help the millions of people in immediate need of food, water, and other items. Thank you for your consideration.
