My work is based on surfaces and weathering.
I have kept some photographs in colours they already contain bold colours which create a good overall images however i have put some others in black and white. I did this to show a strong contrast between the dark and light colours.
The majority of my photos were taken on the macro setting as they were close up and i was trying to photograph small detail.
I specifically arranged my images so that the composition is not too basic. For example I would take the photos so that the main subject is slightly off centred.
The viewpoints were taken at the same level as the subject so that all clarity was captured and the angle was straight on.
i used natural lighting to take these photos however i think that they would have been more successful if i used a studio light.
They have not been manipulated but i did touch them up using aperture. I adjusted the brightness and black point.
i think that my primary sources are successful as I managed to capture the detail of surfaces and weathering that i wanted.

Artwork description
Source is installed at the main entrance to downtown Montréal, in a landscaped terrace at the intersection of Boulevard Robert-Bourassa and Rue Wellington. The stainless-steel sculpture consists of a random intertwining of letters taken from Latin, Greek, Chinese, Arab, Cyrillic, Hindi, Hebrew, and Japanese alphabets, combined to form a monumental figure in a sitting position. The work is an allegory for humanity: like cells are assembled to form the human body, the letters form words, and people form a community. Source represents the wealth of cultures that Montréal has welcomed during its almost four centuries of existence. A symbol of the city’s past, present, and future, Source, seen in the light of day or under its night-time lighting, invites residents to walk, dream, and meet.
By creating Source for the 375th anniversary of the foundation of Montréal, the artist wanted to take into account the importance of water in the city’s history – for trade, immigration, and communications – but also the importance of the place of Indigenous peoples. Source, a word that is identical in French and English, refers to the birthplace of a watercourse, but also represents the roots of a city’s energy and vitality: its inhabitants and their origins, the fluidity and creativity of ideas, and the cycles of movement and renewal.
Source was created within the context of the redevelopment project for the south threshold of the Bonaventure expressway, constituting a legacy for the 375th anniversary of the foundation of Montréal. The integration of Source into the Bonaventure legacy was made possible through an exceptional contribution by the Chrétien-Desmarais family.
The publication SOURCE is a collection of interviews of people and groups who are actively challenging the political status-quo regarding the status of marginalized people and other difficult political issues, and who have visions of proactive tactics on how to address them.
The second issue of SOURCE that was published in US in November 2018 focused on topic of migration. Migration though was understood in more symbolic way as a process of transition, which is fundamental to so much of contemporary life. People migrate between identities, countries, languages, economic realities, genders, political beliefs, contexts.

"In real open source you have the right to control your own destiny" - Linus Torvalds
Open Source Day Conference is one of the greatest international events devoted to open software in this part of Europe. This indicates the dynamics of interest in open technology.
Open source solutions have been gaining respect worldwide for many years, as a blend of quality, safety as well as competitive price. And so have they been gaining market in Poland, with our local companies becoming regional leaders.
Times, when open software was treated as worse but cheaper version of proprietary programs have long gone. Now the clients reach for open solutions not only for the costs factor but primarily due to better parameters, meaning more flexibility, efficiency, innovation, security – and what is more – lack of vendor lock in.
Large companies and institutions also from Poland keep migrating to open code based commercial solutions. Major banks, insurance, most of telcom businesses and growing number of public sector organizations. Representatives of these environments have met regularly for seven years on Open Source Day conference, in order to exchange their views and experience, establish strategic relationships and be up to date with the latest trends in open source solutions.

Mohamed Saleh To all friends and colleagues, those who do not know yet the present case of the mask of Tut-ankh-amun , I would like to tell all of them that the false beard which was badly fixed in the restoration, was safely removed last week. It was thank god done by a German -Egyptian team headed by Christian Eckmann. The false beard might have been fixed in recent times by soldering to the chin of the mask. It was long anticipated that it was fixed to the chin by two slots which received the tenons. I was surprised to find the mask's chin without slots. The work is going now to remove the rests of the glue materials and study the wonderful workmanship of modelling the mask by two layers of gold and some other scientific research. I must congratulate the team and the good opportunity of having a good chance to make this study

На прошлой неделе ритуальная бородка, неверно приклеенная к подбородку погребальной маски Тутанхамона с помощью эпоксидного клея, была благополучно отделена. Работа ведется германско-египетской командой под руководством Кристиана Экманна. «В настоящее время идет постепенное удаление остатков клея и дальнейшее изучение маски, которая, как выяснилось, выкована из двух слоев золота», – сообщил генеральный руководитель проекта Великого музея в Гизе и бывший директор Египетского музея на площади Тахрир д-р Мохамед Салех.

This is a slide from the talk we gave at Open Source Bridge in Portland in June, 2011. In this talk we take a practical look at the design process and techniques everyone should know.
How many product ideas never make it to market? Some failure is OK, but why does it happen so often? We don’t believe it’s because of bad ideas. We believe that teams are missing a holistic approach to design for people, inside and outside the organization.

Getting There :
From Rock Springs, travel north on U.S. 191. Approximately 10 miles north of Rock Springs, turn right at Sweetwater County Road 4-18 (at sign that reads Petroglyphs, Sand Dunes, Boar’s Tusk) and then turn left at County Road 4-17. Soon you will travel under three sets of overhead electrical lines. As you drive, you can see the Wind River Mountain Range directly in front of you,which is approximately 60 miles north. When you reach the White Mountain Petroglyphs sign, about 14 miles from U.S. 191, turn left and proceed along a rougher dirt road. As you continue along this road about 2 miles, you can see Boar’s Tusk to your right (Boar’s Tusk is a volcanic formation that stands out among the sand dunes and flat terrain). After a slow 10-minute drive, you will see the BLM parking signs for the White Mountain Petroglyphs. The petroglyphs are about 1/4 mile on a packed footrail on the face of sandstone cliff. At an elevation of 7,100 feet, the White Mountain Petroglyphs are located in the Killpecker Creek drainage system.

Dans la Vallée de la Loire, les sources sont nombreuses et parfois, on en trouve même dans les cavités des coteaux de Tuffeaux qui sillonnent le long du fleuve. Celle çi s'écoule sur près de 1Km avant de se jetter dans un bras de la Vienne, affluent de la Loire.
