the fabric is too stiff but black moiré (watered) fabric with a Rep weave is so perfect for a skirt from 1890 - 1900 ... I had to use it - hard to photograph but you can just make out the moiré in some of these images
very happy with the back and the length
added a thread loop so Alina can attach her Chatelaine ...

Alina has the perfect 'Granny Boots' with Spats but now she is telling me that, in order to complete her outfit for time travelling to Paris in the 1890s she needs:
a Hat
pearl earrings
gloves
a Cape &
a petticoat with lots of lace
Heavens!
Me thinks his pouches are full! Alvin trying very hard not to look at me! This Eastern Chipmunk looking very cheeky I think! His pouches are filled to capacity ;)
"Chipmunks gather during the mating season that takes place from February to April. Female gives birth to 2 to 6 babies. Chipmunks are sized like a bumblebee at birth. They are blind, naked and helpless."
Have a great day everyone
Part VII in the Winter series.
The weather has been desperately bleak in London over the past week, with no sign that things will improve any time soon. But, being British, our way of coping is to grit our teeth, clench our fist and carry on regardless.
We took our dogs boating today. We hadn’t been able to go in months. It’s maybe their very favorite thing to do. when I told Jake we were going, he jumped for joy and jumped up to give me a big hug. Jake has always been my exuberant happy boy. He has always jumped for joy over many things. But. . . He is 11, with much arthritis and stiff back legs. I have discouraged his jumping, and mostly he complies. But today, he was so happy, he started leaping again. He’s a big tall boy! Here he is, on the boat, a few minutes before sunset, out on FL Bay, and full of joy. .

Looks like a classic meringue stiff peak to me. Interestingly, Meringen is near by and is where some say that meringues come from.

It's good to change , may not be popular but I can get bored going in the same direction. After all it's not a job :-)
Returning to Ireland ( at least in the computer files ) to take a look at “non HDR “ shots and having “boat in my head” this one showed up. Something different than my usual … by the way I bought a row boat , nothing like this one but it's aluminum and it folds . When it's folded it's 12 foot long , 2 foot wide and 3 inch thick :-) . I have to do some work on it and the lake that I will try it … has to be shallow.

Alamillo bridge, in Sevilla, Spain, is probably the best known image of Santiago Calatrava when it comes to bridge design, and a fine example of a reinforced concrete cable stayed bridge.
I must state that after knowing it from pictures, I had the idea this bridge design was somehow unbalanced, mainly due to that huge column, that seemed too tall and stiff for the structural challenge to overcome (the river span).
Now, after seeing it "in loco", I realize it is not quite as I thought: it's trully astonishing!

Initially I wanted to title it "Duke Nukem" but I don't think too many people would get the reference. :)

Utata ~ Iron Photographer 182
Iron Photographer 182.
But there's an empty glass at the end of every IP project. And every empty glass is a glass ready to be filled. For Iron Photographer 182, we'll be pouring in the following elements: :
1 - a head
2 - something on the head that doesn't belong there
3 - heavy post-processing.
The first element is a head. We're talking about the cephalic part of an animal. You know, the bit of the body which is most commonly comprised of the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. And maybe the brain. It can be a human head, an orangutan head, a dragon's head, the head of an angel, a horse's head in the bed of a movie producer, or the head of any other creature. It can be your head or the head of another. It can be a living head, an exanimate head, a ceramic head, a head carved in ice, the Golden Head of Quetzalcoatl that Indiana Jones was looting stealing pilfering acquiring for a museum. We don't care, so long as it's identifiable as a head.
The second element is something on the head that doesn't belong there. I'm not going to attempt to list all the things that don't belong on a head. There are probably several dozen things that don't belong on a head. For example, a salmon. Or mint dental floss. Molten gold (unless you're Dothraki, in which case I will only urge caution in the choice of heads). All that's required is to take something that doesn't belong on a head and put that thing on a head. Pretty simple, really.
The artistic element is heavy post-processing. We don't care what sort of post-processing you do, only that you do it and do it a lot. We don't care how you post-process -- photoshop, picasa, GIMP, scratching a negative with your sharpened teeth, smearing it with butterscotch pudding. We don't care if you lomo-ize it, posterize it, Holga-fy it, Orton-ize it, saturate it to within an inch of its life, selectively color bits of it, or all of the aforementioned techniques. All we care is that you post-process it to a ridiculous extent. And then maybe do it again.

The photographer poses in a rather stiff beret for his second attempt at creating a photograph for Utata's Iron Photographer 182. It's a better fit, but not that comfortable.

Happy Birthday Mum
I have had a few raised eyebrows in the past when I have shown images of my Mother who is suffering from Alzheimer's. However, I did think long and hard before publishing and spoke to my Father first. We both agreed that Mum would want the images to be shown if it could in some way it could help raise people’s awareness of this appalling disease - Alzheimer's.
Taking photographs of my Mother has helped me in coping with and understanding this disease. As a stiff upper lip Englishman, I am not always the best at expressing and venting my emotions but I think this has been a therapeutic process. I remember the first photograph I took of Mum with Alzheimer's and the pain I felt when processing the image. As I worked on the image, I shed tears for the first time over the partial loss of my Mother. This precipitated my acceptance of her condition and the realisation, that, even though she was still with me, there was also a grieving process I had to go through for the part of her that I had lost; acknowledging that fact somehow helped.
When you see one of your parents with Alzheimer's there is an element of guilt: why can we not do more to help? Sometimes when I go to see Mum and it is one of the bad days, I wonder who my visit really benefits. When she does not really want to see or speak to anybody. Mum could not pick me out if I was in a line-up of three people, but part of me feels that there is some knowing deep down inside her, that maybe she just cannot express and for that reason, I hope my visits serve a purpose for her as well as for me. Maybe she can recognise my voice or even if she just has some feeling of familiarity.
Taking photographs of her helps keep me occupied. I can no longer have a meaningful, two way conversation with her. It also helps me to avoid the thought that regularly occurs to me - If only I could travel back in time a few years and have one last, long chat. I would like to thank her for looking after me when I was a child and was incapable of looking after myself. I would thank her for looking after me when I was ill. I would thank her for caring and believing in me when I may have been down or had doubts. I just wish I could do as good a job for her as she did for me.
Relatives of people with Alzheimer's have to go through a grieving period and it starts before their loved one has died, as we watch the person slowly drift away. One of the images of my Mother ( www.flickr.com/photos/mark-edwards/4420066214/in/set-7215... ) has been used quite widely in various publications and has been seen by many people who have subsequently taken action by contacting their local MP. Even if they don't take action but the image makes them understand a little more about Alzheimer's, then it will be worthwhile.
During this visit I had one positive moment when my Mum picked up her Birthday card and looked and pointed at the front cover and said "Mum". I thought she had lost the ability to read quite some time ago. It was a pleasant surprise and for one split-second, it felt like we connected in some way as we both smiled together.
Mum does not know that Dad died in April as nobody has told her. I have days when I am not sure if that is right. She did not attend his funeral as we felt it would not make sense to her and would not be fair to her or others, but who really knows? You just have to go with your instincts and hope you have done the right thing. That is what she said so many times about being a parent "Trust your instincts and hope you have done the right thing". Thanks Mum, Happy Birthday!

The endpapers to 'Mirror for Chance' published in 1951 by Chance Brothers Ltd. The subjects portrayed are not identified but were presumably picked from those men and women who worked for Chance Bros. in their Glass Works and Lighthouse Works in Smethwick or in other locations. I hope so - it's nice to see some ordinary working folk getting some recognition in this way. It makes a change from the usual collection of stiffly posed founders, directors and board members past and present who stare out from the pages of most company histories. Mirror for Chance, which covers the history of the firm and its range of products and activities in the year of the Festival of Britain, was written and designed for Chance Bros. by Cecil D Notley Advertising Ltd. and printed by Thomas Forman & Sons Ltd. of Nottingham
13th century stiff leaf capitals in the nave of Wells Cathedral arrayed one after the other westwards like sentinels.
Not dissimilar from Salisbury Cathedral this style of architecture was once referred to (by one of those Continental abroad sorts) as being a stupendous work of English plumbing. Looking at this shot you can see perhaps why
My submission for week 49/52 of the 2010 Challenge. The theme is FEET.
These are my trusty bike shoes, now with ~10k miles or so in them, but going strong. They're not quite as comfortable as the SIDIs I had before these, but they are significantly stiffer (carbon sole helps), and when you're as fat, old, and weak as I am, the added efficiency is worth the slight sacrifice in comfort. Ah, the price we pay.

Lorsqu'on arrive par la lande en face du Stiff, on est loin de se douter qu'il est composé d'une double tour ! c'est en arrivant dessous que je m'en suis aperçue et du coup, il était évident que je devais le redessiner ! (03.05.14)
