A much more elaborate transparent screen this time around. My TV, laptop, and PSP! Absolutely no Photoshoping of the final picture.
This is the 11th most interesting picture from July 16th, 2005. :)
At the moment this is my only qualifier for the 100 views / 10 favorites group. As of today, August 26th 2005, it has 1494 views and 10 favorites.
"Saints In Colour"
Showing how the Wallingford Screen might have looked in the medieval period - with a 21st century twist. The Cathedral has worked in close partnership with Hogarth, a WPP agency, to explore ground-breaking techniques for bringing history to life, using the latest technology from Panasonic and Epic Games.
Cutting edge scanning and projection techniques using Reality Capture software will bring to life the 15th century screen and 19th century statues with a millimetre accurate 3D scan and re-colourisation, based on historic research by Dr James Alexander Cameron. The colours have been produced by artist Amara Por Dios, and the technology was used to train apprentices in WPP’s Creative Technology Apprenticeship programme, which aims to diversify the emerging technology workforce. St Albans Cathedral is committed to social justice, so we are excited to bring the statues to life in a racially diverse way, reflecting where each of the saints depicted came from.
This restaurant was showing menu items on an illuminated screen. Mostly it was working well but I caught it between images.
The Saturday Self-challenge group has chosen Backlight today,
An old TV that's been lying around our house for far too long.
I took this on a long exposure to get the screen detail and used my single SB-800 and popped it a few times from several different angles.

Screens have always been a measured, controlled distance for me. I’ve grown up alongside the changing digital landscape, from vice to necessity, for better or worse. I have been everyone and no one online; I have been naively vulnerable and rigidly cryptic. I sarcastically joke about “my stint with agoraphobia” years ago because it’s easier than explaining the painful terror of that kind of isolation. Now it’s a global stint. Now it’s more screen time for everyone, the place that’s been my home inside my home since we had to hum along to dial-up. I think now about the nostalgic sounds of doors opening when people were available to you and closing when they weren’t. I open and close the doors between myself with others as a second nature and I weave in and out of my connectivity along the way. Do you know me? Can you ever know me? Would I even let you?

our spare room triples as sewing room, dining room and office!
when we have guests for dinner we use this screen.
After months of working on a tiny laptop screen, I'm finally back to dual external monitors. Hooray for screen space! And the ability to color calibrate those screens!
(Yes, that is the cat's tail on the left - I made the mistake of laying a towel in the open space, now it's "his spot" and I'm stuck with it til he gets bored of it.)
I was going to say "roll over the photo to view notes on the desk layout" . . . . . but it appears Flickr has removed the option to ad or view notes on a photo. Boo!
We share the sadness
Split screen sadness
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
"All you need is love" is a lie 'cause
We had a love but we still said goodbye
Now we’re tired, battered fighters
And it stings when it nobody’s fault cause there's
Nothing to blame At the drop of your name
It’s only the air you took and the breath you left
So maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch 'til you come back home
Oh, right
I can’t find a flight
So I’ll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
It might be my only right
Sister's birthday Tomorrow
should be fun :)
We wanted to be a part of history in the making, so we attended the first day of the International Convention in Detroit June 6th, 2014. We had been in Christian Conventions in Detroit before with over 60,000 in attendance but we were much younger back then and did not notice the walking as much. This one in Detroit was attended by 35,000 the first day, and they said the attendance with the other ten sites added in was 98,000, (we were all tied in together with some of the talks given at Detroit).
We arrived there early and we still had to park in a handicap area that must have been at least ¾ of a mile from the stadium. We were blessed to be able to get on one of the golf carts the brothers had running to carry in the elderly. We were put in line to get into the stadium at about 7:15AM and the lines from the north and south were both at least 1000feet long of brothers and sisters. When the doors opened at 8:00AM it still took a long time to get in because each person had to go through a security bag check.
After entering, we traversed half-way around the entire football stadium just to find out that the meager portion of handicap seating was already taken. I finally helped Pam down a few steps and got her to a seat and just found a place to park her walker. The brothers were very kind and helped the handicap all they could despite not having enough wheelchair space. By the time the session was over, there must have been a dozen other walkers piled on top of Pam’s because we did not have enough room. Despite all that, the fellowship and joy was wonderful. Seeing and talking with the International delegates along with the wonderful talks made everything very worthwhile. The seats we had were right beside some wonderful delegates from Germany and there were small television monitors right above us. This made it easier to see even though they had the program projected on the high definition large stadium screens, since we were way back in the far end zone opposite the stage.
For some reason though when the session was over, there were so many buses that they would not let them park to load very close to the stadium. We hiked back to the car, over a mile from our seats, and we still saw thousands of brothers, sisters, and elderly hiking another mile further to their buses. Even though we had finally made it to our car so we could sit down, the crowds of friends were so thick that we could not move if we wanted to. A brother finally came over and said we have to help you out of here because they need the parking for a ballgame; so he helped us get out very slowly and safely, as other cars for a ballgame were coming in. We just felt so heartbroken for so many friends walking so far. Some of the buses had to be at least two miles from the stadium entrance. Pam’s leg was so swollen when we got home she could not even get her shoe off. But again, we were happy to be there, as the talks were encouraging and wonderful, and we were part of history in the making. The love of the brothers and sisters moving around in such a respectful, peaceful and orderly crowd was so wonderful. The drama was so very good and instructional for true Christians. Jehovah blessed all despite the difficulties, and our joy felt great.
A pod of one-year-old American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) - Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area, 3365 Taylor Creek Rd, Christmas, Florida
These pod members are the result of last years mating activities, and will head out on their own next year. Their mother is still somewhere in the neighborhood, and if I got too close to the pod, they might call out, and then I'd be in big trouble. I therefore stayed on the road and took my pics with a telephoto (300 mm in this case).
And kinda like how armadillo litters are all the same sex (but for different reasons¹ than gators), I took the liberty of assuming these were all females and subtitled it "A Tail of Seven Sisters" (a mixed whatcha-ma-call-it).
¹ An armadillo's litter of 4 are all from a single egg (that splits twice), thereby making the members of each litter all the same sex. Whereas, the sex of a gator pod is determined by the temperature of the nest during the middle third of the incubation period (with males liking it hot, while females like to remain cool at all times). However, the reasoning behind it is the same, in that it keeps family members from interbreeding, while simultaneously forcing the pod to disperse and increase territory in search of the opposite sex.
