Went to kyoto last month and had a conference at the same conference where the worlds famous protocol to save environment, the Kyoto Protocol was signed.
To make everyone remember that we love our earth..its our duty to keep it smile with greenery.
Say NO to the environmental pollution..

Well now… what do you think of these fine monkey puzzle trees, more than 80 years old, in Teddington? They’re pretty fine specimens, wouldn’t you say?
So would I. But guess what? A local man, whose flat overlooks them, wants to have them cut down to make way for… a couple of car parking spaces! No, really.
Last week, at 1.30 in the afternoon, the Teddington Society (of which I'm a member) were alerted to the imminent threat of these trees being felled. But thanks to a flurry of emails and phone calls, and very swift action by the Society and the London Borough of Richmond Council, within six hours a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) had been drafted, issued and applied to these lovely unusual trees.
“Forty years ago”, one of my neighbours told me, “I walked my kids past these trees every morning on our way to school. Of course they must be saved.”
The TPO declares that no person shall “cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or wilfully destroy; or cause or permit the cutting down, topping, lopping, uprooting, wilful damage or wilful destruction of any tree specified” in the Order.
So the trees are safe, at least for now. But absurdly, what with the British regard for 'fair play' and all that, Richmond Council is open to objections. So we’re watching like hawks – and meanwhile the Teddington Society has warned all local tree surgeons not to touch these gloriously well-established specimens of Araucaria araucana.
Just six hours from first alert to the application of a TPO. Local democracy in action – with skates on.
The consumer instant print offers a texture, tonal range, and color space unequaled and represents a unique photographic medium. These and other distinctive characteristics have inspired and been employed by countless photographic craftspersons in their work. I have come to admire these qualities and unexpected attributes as a preference for my photographic work. Without access to the variety of instant film types that are offered by Polaroid a large part of my photographic exploration will be halted. These are things that offer me great inspiration and fulfillment, not to mention instant analog gratification, which cannot be underestimated... I am currently in production of a photographic book of my instant print work due out in April of this year.
In the digital age, at the end of the photographic print, generations from now the family photo album will be thrown out with the PC and the SD. Polaroid represents, along with the standard film print, the physical archival of images and the tactical access to unadulterated visual information for and by the the individual. These instant moments are the things that would generaly go un-archived or even un-photographed in other formats, do to the stigmatic wake of the fleeting moment. Yet years later these instant impulses become treasured artifacts representing the true nature of ourselves and those we love.
The end of the instant print will represent a further retreat of traditional photographic technique and options, in the interest of the bottom line and fleeting lower quality digital imaging. There is and will be, in the foreseeable future, a sustainable market for these instant analogue options, whether it will be tapped to the benefit of potential providers and enthusiasts remains to be seen.
Some of these VHs have been saved due to the incompetence of Switch Mobility, who have had their fleet of Metrodeckers across the two operators currently operating them pulled until further notice.
This was caused by a fire at Westbourne Park while one of First's OMEs was charging. Go-Ahead was pulling their Metrodeckers at the end of service due to issues in the heat, however this has been prolonged due to this fire.
This is also similar to an incident that occurred at Potters Bar back in 2022, where a Metroline Metrodecker also caught fire while charging.

I've gotta stop my mind
Working overtime
It's driving me insane
It will not let me live
Always so negative
It's become my enemy
These mud daubers eat spiders. Some even specialize in Black Widows. They DO NOT bother humans. Don't disturb their nests. They are helping you out.

Fourteenth Avenue dead ends not far west of Power Inn Road. Along the no-outlet stretch, are signs reading “Save 14th Avenue.” I’m not sure how the plans are going, but, in the meantime, the dead end makes a great place for pictures.
Jacket, The Limited. Dress, London Times (shortened hand-me-down). Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Nine West. Earrings, Claire’s. Sunglasses, Betsey Johnson. Necklace, thrifted. Rings, Black Hills Gold, Puzzrollrings, and vintage. Bag, Fossil (gift).
The “save” is a proposed extension from the dead end to Florin Perkins Road. That sounds nice, actually. I’d give up this picture spot for the extension.

I thought I would write some notes on my setup for my recent space photos. Most LEGO pictures deliberately present the subject as a model, with a neutral background and diffuse light. I've tried to get a more Star Treky effect as if it's really in space with exotic lighting. I've also shot it so you can't see the stand, as if it's floating.
I've used a green backing so I can easily remove the ship from the background. This isn't a massive factor, because it's relatively easy to cut out the ship by hand in a still image; but it saved me a bit of time so...
The photos are taken with a very small aperture, so the depth of field is maximised. I then use a very low ISO to minimise grain. This in turn requires a very long exposure, like 5 seconds, or else the picture is crazy dark. However that's not a problem of course because it's a still life - it doesn't move! I do underexpose a bit to prevent the white burning in and crushing all the highlights. I can easily brighten it in Photoshop.
A.Camera. I've got it wired directly to my laptop so I can download the pictures immediately and check they've worked on a big screen before moving on.
B.Key light. This is the "warm" yellow light coming from the left in the pictures. It's an IKEA anglepoise lamp with a high intensity fluorescent bulb. There's a straw coloured gel over it to make it "warmer".
C.Fill light. This is another IKEA light with a bright bulb. It's got a blue gel over it and a bunch of gauze (actually net curtain material) held in front to soften it.
D.Kicker. This light throws a bright blue light from left to pick out detail. This is an LED worklight which throws a very bright white light. It's got a blue gel over it.
E.Greenscreen. This is some bright green wrapping paper taped to the wall. Because it's going to be keyed out it doesn't matter too much how smooth or good it looks. There's another light X aimed at it to light it. Note also the model is quite far away from it so green "spill" light doesn't reflect back on the model.
F.The model. It's internally lit with LEDs which are surprisingly bright (as you can see here).
G.The window is blocked up so all the light in the room comes from artificial sources so it's completely controllable.
As you can see my setup is very rudimentary and pretty much everything is improvised. My digital camera is second-hand and about 10 years old. If folks are interested I will do another post with details of the processes I use in PhotoShop to create the final images.
Here's what Anne had to say:
We have gotten such wonderful feedback from all our friends and guests about the save-the-date. Everything from "they are so cute" to "those are the most unique save-the-dates I've seen." We love them and knew they would too. Thank you again for your work. I have referred several of my friends who are also brides to you - since you were beyond easy to work with, very friendly, exceptional as a designer and reasonably priced. I can't wait to get started on the wedding invites!

Dedicated to the millions of poor and injured people in Haiti and to those who were killed in the eartquake.

After just having tossed off the rider, managing to get a horn under his flack jacket, and tossing him around, the rodeo clowns were quick to distract this bull and save the day.
You have to give the clowns credit for being pretty gutsy to get in the middle of that. The rider was a bit battered, I'm sure, but was able to walk off the field and wave to the crowd.
