I had a very enjoyable visit with my grandson to this amazing place, The Barker Comic and Cartoon Museum! From Vintage 1930s Mickey Mouse Toothpaste to a 1:1 Scale Replica of the Hulk, every toy you’ve ever played with (or dreamed of) is displayed amongst the 88,000+ antique toys and collectibles within the Barker Character, Comic, and Cartoon Museum. Official Museum for Celebriducks, California Raisins, and Gumby! I shot a bunch of shots, all with a cell phone (not like me, I know) and most were behind glass cabinets. What a trip with so many memories to enjoy! I hope you'll also enjoy seeing some of the shots I walked away with, and more will follow...no car shots today :))
This is the one that nearly got me arrested. Waiting for herself to exit X-Ray, I wander down to this stairwell and notice the pattern on the wall. Down I go and shoot from various angles. Coming out of the stairwell, I hear shouts from the left as two blue-clad security men burst through swinging doors. My first instinct is to flee but I stand my ground! No cameras allowed! Sorry, I say, I didn't see any signs. NO CAMERAS ALLOWED! OK, fellas, no problem, sure. Hey would you like me to take a snap of you two fine strapping chaps? One guy actually goes to pose but the other fellow grabs him in time. Fair enough.....

The province of Nan is located in the north of Thailand and borders Laos. It is one of the lesser known provinces of Thailand, but is known for its natural beauty. Rice planting is one important agricultural activity in Thailand and it is part of the country's culture and traditions. The rice planting process in Thailand starts with preparing the soil. The farmers plow the soil to loosen it and provide it with nutrients. Then the rice seeds are planted in separate beds. After the seeds have germinated, the young rice plants are planted on the rice fields. These rice fields are usually arranged in terraces to better manage the water and ensure even irrigation. Planting rice is usually done manually, where the farmers manually put the rice plant into the ground. After planting, the fields are usually immersed in water to protect the rice plants from weeds and pests. After about 4 to 6 months, the rice is fully grown and ready to be harvested. After harvesting, the rice grains are washed and dried before being stored or sold at the market. Rice is an important source of food in Thailand and is used in many dishes from curries to fried rice dishes.
Planting rice together is an important tradition in Thailand and often seen as a social activity. This process is called "กฤษณา หรือ งานกฤษณา" in Thai and is usually performed between May and July, during the rainy season. When planting rice together, the local communities come together to plant rice together. This is not only a way to complete the rice harvest, but also an opportunity to strengthen social bonds within the community. The process of planting rice together usually starts with choosing a suitable location and preparing the soil. Then the rice is planted in separate beds. The young rice plants are then planted in the rice fields by the community participants, who usually work in rows. During the rice planting, participants are entertained with music and singing, and food and drink are often shared. This creates a festive atmosphere and contributes to strengthening community ties. After the harvest, the rice is then distributed among the community participants according to the amount of work they have contributed to the process. It is an important tradition that is still carried on in many parts of Thailand.
De provincie Nan is gelegen in het noorden van Thailand en grenst aan Laos. Het is één van de minder bekende provincies van Thailand, maar staat bekend om zijn natuurlijke schoonheid. Rijstplanten is één belangrijke landbouwactiviteit in Thailand en het is een onderdeel van de cultuur en de tradities van het land. Het proces van rijstplanten in Thailand begint met het voorbereiden van de grond. De boeren ploegen de grond om deze los te maken en te voorzien van voedingsstoffen. Vervolgens worden de rijstzaden in aparte bedden geplant. Nadat de zaden zijn ontkiemd, worden de jonge rijstplantjes uitgeplant op de rijstvelden. Deze rijstvelden zijn meestal ingedeeld in terrassen om het water beter te kunnen beheren en te zorgen voor een gelijkmatige irrigatie. Het planten van rijst wordt meestal handmatig gedaan, waarbij de boeren het rijstplantje met de hand in de grond steken. Tijdens het planten van de rijst worden de deelnemers vermaakt met muziek en zang, en wordt er vaak eten en drinken gedeeld. Na het planten worden de velden meestal ondergedompeld in water om de rijstplanten te beschermen tegen onkruid en ongedierte. Bij het samen rijst planten komen de lokale gemeenschappen bij elkaar om samen rijst te planten. Dit is niet alleen een manier om de rijstoogst te voltooien, maar ook een gelegenheid om de sociale banden binnen de gemeenschap te versterken. Na ongeveer 4 tot 6 maanden is de rijst volgroeid en klaar om geoogst te worden. Na de oogst wordt de rijst dan verdeeld onder de deelnemers van de gemeenschap, afhankelijk van de hoeveelheid werk die ze hebben bijgedragen aan het proces. De rijst wordt dan opgeslagen of verkocht op de markt. Rijst is een belangrijke bron van voedsel in Thailand en wordt gebruikt in veel gerechten, van curry's tot gebakken rijstgerechten.
At times like this the old TLR comes in handy.
He was getting curious what I was shooting - so I pulled out my old trusty Yashica Mat back after a service. He relax and willingly posed for a portrait. When I was finished he asked me "Can that thing still shoot?" so I replied - "Hell Yeah!!"
The home development went bad for this roll of Ilford Delta 400 - Expired. It was resisting the loading into the developing tank. The film was thick and curling pretty good. I must have tried a good 20 times and end up scratching the roll....as you can see here. A good two hours were the struggle, the film was feeling rather slimy then....before I manage to load it eventually.

And he asked me to photograph him, with security guards it's usually the other way around in photography... Asad was on duty along Stephen Avenue on Sunday, making sure that people weren't climbing on the big lighting towers workers were busy putting up... He and his partner were actually quite curious why I was photographing a garbage can close up, why to photograph circles of course since that is the President's Challenge at our local camera club, kind of funny actually when most of my photography downtown is of people and yesterday I was almost going out of my way to not photograph people...
A very nice and rare catch indeed is this USAF Boeing C17 Globemaster III from the Hawaii Air National Guard (HIANG). This one is departing Glasgow Prestwick airport in Ayrshire Scotland just as the light greets the new day.
The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a large military transport aircraft. It was developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) from the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 commonly performs tactical and strategic airlift missions, transporting troops and cargo throughout the world.
Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved (it would be nice if you left a comment too) my photos. It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcomed.
Another entry for the iron forge! There are seven wrenches and six hammers used this time.
I started with a K2-SO inspired body, but added an original design for the head that is reminiscent of some other Star Wars droid models.
If anyone has idea regarding how a brick built K2-SO head might be constructed, I’d love to know!
There is no security. Long before “fake news” or “alternative facts” has been violently put to our language, we became accustomed to disguising unpleasant things in life with euphemisms. “Security” as a term for banal guarding of property, usually done by migrant workers under poor pay conditions, is definitely one of them. Often it is not the first job of the day.

This gecko was crawling on the flower, but sought refuge when I started shooting. When I was about to give up, it popped its head out, feeling secure enough to smile for the paparazzi.
