All Saints church in the tiny Kent village of Tudeley is not a large or architecturally distinguished building, but has become internationally famous for it's complete set of stained glass windows by renowned 20th century artist Marc Chagall.
The church itself is a humble structure, it was damaged in the Civil War and mostly rebuilt in the 17th century (the box-like brick tower) and the Victorian period. There is little of antiquity within aside from a large c1600 monument (without figures) on the north side of the chancel.
What makes a visit here so unforgettable is the glass: the east window was installed in 1967, donated as a memorial to the drowned Sarah D'Avigdor Goldsmith by her parents; she can be seen as the figure floating at the base whilst her soul ascends a ladder to Heaven, where a crucified Christ awaits. The commissioning of the Belarussian-Jewish artist Marc Chagall was the inspired touch, this piece being amongst the most famous of 20th century windows. It was made in collaboration with Charles Marq at his studio in Reims.
The success and popularity of the finished work was such that it led to the commissioning of further windows from the artist over the next 15 years, ultimately becoming a complete set. However installation of the final side windows in the chancel was delayed until 1985 owing to local opposition to removing the Victorian glass in those windows; a compromise solution was found with the Victorian stained glass remaining in the church in specially made light-boxes mounted on the walls under the west tower.
The interior is now bathed in beautiful coloured light from the largely abstract windows, blue being the dominant colour in the chancel and north aisle with yellow dominating the two large south nave windows. Aside from a single window in Chichester Cathedral these are the only works by Chagall in stained glass in Britain.
The church is a haven of peace and beauty and a must for anyone with an interest in the medium of stained glass. It is lovingly cared for and open to visitors every day.
Mike photographed this set of Egyptian and Phoenician jewelry in the William and Judith Bollinger Jewellery Gallery at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
A few details about these items from the informational placard:
As early as 3000 BC, the ancient Egyptians produced jewellery that linked to their religious beliefs. They favoured gold, the colour of divinity, together with carnelian or lapis lazuli, the blue symbolising regeneration. Imitations of lapis in glass or 'faience' (glazed fused quartz) were also popular. Protective amulets taking the shape of gods, animals or various symbols were often placed in tombs.
The Phoenician civilisation originated in the area of modern Lebanon about about 1000-500 BC. As traders and colonisers throughout the Mediterranean area, the Phoenicians absorbed styles from the art of Egypt, Etruria and the Greek world.

here I set the 86 inch paul buff umbrella(in softbox mode) directly behind me. It's powered with an Alien Bee 800. Then I placed the Westcott Apollo directly behind the subject, for a quick High Key effect .
inside the apollo is a 580EXII triggered by pocket wizards
Here I color the Mandelbrot set based on the orbit of the points: each step adds red if it has negative real part, green if it has positive imaginary part and blue if it is outside the circle |z|=2/3. Each iteration contributes exponentially less, resulting in a color mixture.
It nicely fills in the "aura" close to the set.

Deboxing the Once Upon a Time Doll Set. The front plastic cover of Snow White and Evil Queen have been removed. They are in separate but connected boxes, back to back.
The Once Upon a Time Doll Set features Snow White in white and Regina, the Evil Queen, in black. It is a limited edition of 300, and cost $129.95. The dolls are 12'' fully posable dolls with very well made outfits accurately depicting costumes used in the TV show. They were only available at the D23 Expo 2015, and sold out on Friday August 14, before I got a chance to see them in person. I'm very happy to finally get the D23 Exclusive Once Upon a Time Doll Set, thanks to a fellow collector. It was signed at the D23 Expo by the actresses Ginnifer Goodwin and Lana Parrilla on the slipcover over their respective dolls.
There is a smoky plastic slipcover, with the Certificate of Authenticity loosely placed on the top, under the slipcover. My set is #216 of 300. The two dolls are in separate boxes, that are connected by a folding backboard. The set opens up to display Snow White on the left and Evil Queen on the right. The boxes have a similar size and construction to the Disney Film Collection doll boxes.
I will show them boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed.

For this set of photos, I thought I did well, and focused on different parts of the car than I have been. There was a show that I didn't hear about until the morning, which I attended, and got the photos of the Ferraris and of the Lamborghini. The show was in the rain, which greatly helped me. I was able to take more general photos, but with the rain, it greatly enhanced the photo differences. Also, this week, I took the initiative of doing the diptych of the detail shots when different objects in the photos are in focus. The cars in the photo are 2 599 GTOs, which enhances the photo, showing the front side, and the front. I thought it was a good week, and got to do new things this week.

Born in Venezuela, Chef Miguel Aguilar comes to WKB from Philadelphia, where he served as executive chef at Doug Rodriguez' Alma de Cuba; catering chef for the venerable Stephen Starr and opening chef for El Rey Restaurant - dazzling Philly's food enthusiasts with his vibrant Nuevo Latino flavors and flawless cooking technique. For Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, he created a menu of small plates incorporating ingredients, superb technique, and the subtly layered global-Lationo flavors he loves.
A graduate of the University of Gastronomic Sciences and an active member of Slow Food, Brooklyn House Chef Andrew Gerson's approach to cooking is based on supporting local food systems and celebrating good food and real beer. Chef Andrew is on a food crawl like no other, sharing and learning with chefs around the country with The Mash. Every Slow Supper is the delicious culmination of what he's absorbed from earlier stops on the tour.
Helping color in The Mash, NBNY, the organizers of Brooklyn’s Bring to Light festival, will map their immersive installations of light and projection art to the architecture of the Boat Shop. It's a mix of sculpture and projection called "Kings County Cornucopia" and it must be seen to be believed. (See video below)
At its core, Slow Supper is good old fashioned dinner party. But it's much more than that. It's also a collaboration between the culinary cultures of Brooklyn and, in this case, Miami.
