Joe Slater
Professor Dan Reinstein
Denise Leigh
Sound for Sight is raising funds and awareness towards Sightsavers’ work eliminating the World’s leading cause of preventable blindness, trachoma.
Trachoma is a bacterial infection linked to inadequate water and sanitation and passed on by flies. It is referred to as ‘neglected tropical diseases’ and can be prevented and ultimately eliminated entirely.
The Sound for Sight audience will be taken on a spectacular sensory experience during the show that has been carefully curated by Sound for Sight Founder, Laura Westcott and ‘Mo Pleasure’ the former Music Director of Earth, Wind & Fire.
Charlotte Kelly, Soul II Soul
Charlotte rose to fame in the mid 1990s as one of the lead singers of British R&B group Soul II Soul, with hit songs “Back to Life” and “Keep on Movin”.
Charlotte was born blind at birth with no sight at all in her left eye and virtually none in her right eye.
“I am very excited and delighted to perform at Sound for Sight because being blind from birth, sound is one of the most important tools we possess as blind and visually impaired people. So, treatment and eradication of blindness is a blessing for the growth on the human experience.” – Charlotte Kelly
Denise Leigh
Denise made her operatic debut in 2003 by winning Channel 4’s Operatunity and playing the role of Gilda in Verdi’s Rigoletto at the London Coliseum.
Since then, Denise has sung all over the world and was honoured to headline the London 2012 Paralympic opening ceremony.
Both Denise and her husband Stefan (who will accompany Denise on piano) are visually impaired with a visually impaired son.
“The treatment and eradication of blindness, in all it’s forms, is a cause very close to our hearts and we are delighted to be performing at Sound for Sight to help fund research and treatment.” Denise and Stefan

Georgia’s sound is contagious and subconsciously gets you tapping your feet, whilst her ballads are stripped back allowing Georgia’s strong and iconic vocal to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
Joe Slater
A 22-year-old lad from Liverpool who blurs the lines between Blues, Soul and Rock ‘n’ Roll whilst taking inspiration from The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and Oasis.
“With his raspy voice, perfect pitch and soulful delivery, Slater is unquestionably destined for stardom….” London Hollywood

Our first port of call in Norway, on a somewhat dreary and overcast day, the old town was an enjoyable place to saunter through. There was also a fantastic collection of print style graffiti, which will follow, but for now a continuation of a very delayed set of holiday photos.
hopefully off to worthing today

The New York City Department of Transportation's Urban Art Program, New York Cares and the Mayor's Community Affairs Unit organized two Barrier Beautification painting events in conjunction with New York Cares Service Day on Saturday, October 19, 2013. The Urban Art Program is collaborating for the first time with a current student at FIT as part of the Barrier Beautification program. Brooklyn-based artist Brittany Falussy joined volunteers to beautify 200 feet of concrete barriers along Bruckner Boulevard and Gerard Avenue in the Bronx.
The illustrative design "Sight Scene" depicts different colored heads wearing various eye glasses. The design is inspired by the artists many trips on the subway and seeing no only all different types of people, but all different types of eye ware.

Documenting my first Starbucks red cup of the season. Used a bunch of two-year old Basic Grey Nordic Holiday paper and chipboard. Also used a Wilton doily, October Afternoon mini letter stickers and American Crafts Thickers vinyl letter stickers.

Mooresville, NC – goo.gl/qbDzFe As it is every year, the SEMA Show's sheer size and influence on the entire universe of aftermarket automotive products delivered in a big way. With the SEMA show running through Friday followed by the SEMA Ignited after show and of course the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational, it was a full week of non-stop action at every turn. See all the photos here www.detroitspeed.com/SpeedNews/SEMA-OUSCI-2015-recap/SEMA...
The SEMA show started Tuesday morning with hundreds of companies bringing in some of the best aftermarket builds in the country to show off their parts and hard work. Anything you could imagine is at the SEMA show, from Hot Rods to the latest in modern performance, there was no shortage of things to see. The Detroit Speed booth was packed day in and day out.
The Detroit Speed crew had Moe's 1969 Charger at the HRIA booth and also had Moe’s 1970 Chevelle on hand at SEMA central and immediately received lots of attention. The team from BCIITV were on hand Tuesday with the Chevelle shooting footage for Competition Ready, the new TV show from Velocity that will air early in 2016. The team followed the Chevelle around all week capturing footage of the run to the Top Ten of the Battle of the Builders, being named a finalist for the Mother's shine award as well as capturing a GM Best G-Machine award. Unfortunately the Chevelle didn't make the top 3 but we were all still very proud of the accomplishments and recognition it garnered throughout the week. Detroit Speed also had the CDV (Cool Delivery Vehicle) that was located at the Mother's Polish booth, came in handy, and received a nice plaque from General Motors. Congratulations to Bobby Alloway for winning the competition. Now Moe's Chevelle wasn't the only Detroit Speed built car making some waves, Moe's 1969 Charger was invited to participate in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational following the SEMA show at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Along with the Charger and the Chevelle, Detroit Speed were well respresented with Detroit Speed "Equipped" cars on the show floor and at OUSCI. We would also like to take a moment to congratulate Tim and Cici Spencer. Tim's Detroit Speed "Equipped" 1969 Mustang won the Mother's Shine award. Tim's Mustang spent some time at DSE early in its life.
With the inclusion of the Charger, Detroit Speed now had three cars in the competition to be named the Ultimate Street Car for 2015. Kyle Tucker drove his trusty Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro while Ryan Mathews drove the Detroit Speed 2012 White Monster Camaro. Test Car foreman, Matt Butts, who was out to oversee the 1970 and 2012 ended up becoming the driver of the Charger and performed rather well driving the newly completed monster of a Charger. Before the competition started Kyle was awarded with his GTV class championship trophy and his overall class champion trophy. The competition was stiff as classes were wiped out for this competition and everyone competed in one big field. Danny Popp came away with the victory for the 2nd time in a row.
Ryan will now turn his focus to the Goodguys Scottsdale Autocross Finals taking place November 20th - 22nd. Kyle already captured the 2015 Goodguys Pro Class points championship and sets his sights on the autocross finals. Unfortunately with the Baja 1000 calling his name, Kyle will not be able to compete in the Scottsdale finals.
SEMA 2015 Highlights
• Moe's Chevelle was named a Top Ten Finalist in SEMA Ignited's Battle of the Builders
• Moe's Chevelle also captured the Chevrolet "Best G-Machine" award at the Chevrolet Design Award Breakfast
• Moe's Charger was invited to the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
• Kyle and Ryan performed well but were unable to crack the Top Ten at the OUSCI
You can always tell when someone has spotted some sort of wildlife along Skyline Dr, there is always a string of cars pulled off to the side of the road and people out of their cars with their cameras. Our trip along Skyline Dr rewarded us with this wildlife sighting of a black bear. I was lucky to be able to get a few halfway decent shots before the Park Ranger came along and made everyone move.

This is our first sighting of a Cheetah on this game farm. The excitement was and still is, huge. I had to photograph the Cheetah shots through the very dirty windscreen of our Land Rover as there was nowhere for us to go for me to get a clean shot without the possibility that it would scare and run out of our view.
1 & 2 Driving along a road I had not previously been on, suddenly this Cheetah came out into the roadway and began strolling ahead of us. It gave us the impression that it was annoyed that we had disturbed it and had the cat expression of , "We are not amused" and kept glancing back at us. On the open plains to the left of us, there were herds of Springbok and Impala, much more the size group for a Cheetah's lunch than these huge, young Kudu Bulls.
3. We suddenly became aware of a barking of sorts coming from the bush up to our right and saw a small herd of 4 young Kudu Bulls who were making the odd barking noises. I think that we may have alerted them to the Cheetah's presence as up until it exposed itself in the open, they had not made a sound and we assumed that they had been grazing as normal. I did not know that they 'barked" when in danger and warning others. I only know about their tails being held upright showing the white undersides as they run away.
4. The Cheetah again turned to give us "That look", before turning off the road and went into the bush
5. The Cheetah still casually strolling, took itself behind a rock and lay down. You can just see the top of it's head behind the rock. (note on the pic)
6. The Kudu now sensing the danger was past, stopped the barking noises and slowly moved away from the area.
Observing a very bright rainbow at sunset. What a sight this was! Luckily, I wasn't driving so I got to take pics of this display. A low pressure area was impacting the Bay Area and California with rainy, unsettled weather, including thunderstorms, during this time. Gotta love this weather indeed! We need the rain here so bring it on! Pic taken from around San Jose, CA during me and my mom's commute home from work. (Monday around sunset, November 7, 2022)
*God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us – in the dreariest and most dreaded moments – can see a possibility of hope. - Maya Angelou.
Challenge: "make several sketches (at least three) of sights / places / buildings / sceneries that you see (almost) every day."
We used to eat at a burger place called Bagger Dave's every month or so, and I would always sketch their condiments holder. The local Bagger Dave's is sadly closed - IIRC these condiments were at Buddy's Pizza. Pencil in Moleskine gridded notebook. Removed from notebook to send in swap.

... I have been traveling down this river, so many rocks pop up in my sight.
I've got to make some quick decisions, should I go left or should I go right.
I pray for guidence and protection, it keeps my boat watertight.
But, I know if I just keep on believing, every little thing's all gonna be alright.
When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light.
When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light.
And loveliness, and tenderness, and happiness, and openness,
And togetherness, and loveliness, yeahyeah
The vampires gather around me, angling to take a bite.
They want to drink my blood of courage, and try to take away my fight.
But no, no, no, they can't do that, for one truth I've learned in life.
You want to scare away the vampires, you simple guide them into the light.
When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light.
When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light yeah.
In the morn, in the morning. In the morn, in the morning.
In the morn, in the morning. In the morning.
And when my time is done, I did some right, I did some wrong.
Call my name to kingdom come, spread my wings in flight.
I hope that when my day is over, my love, I see you in the light.
And when I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light.
When I wake up in the morning, I hope I hope I hope I see you.
In the morn, in the morning. In the morn, in the morning.
In the morn, in the morning.
In the morn, in the morning. In the morning.
And loveliness, and tenderness, and happiness, and openness,
And togetherness, and hopefulness, and happiness, yeah yeah.
See You all next year!!!!

When a couple of crazy Berkeley people get together to have a bachelorette party and decide to give tasks to everyone in the party during the party bus tour, this is what you get. condoms filled with confetti and objective tasks. My objective that night was to find a gay man at a bar, and ask him for tips on fellatio. Sadly, I failed at this task, despite being in San Francisco. I suck badly apparently. ;)
