It's a Mikrus MR-300, first Polish small-engined car. Article in Polish Wikipedia regarding this unusual car. It has 300 cm^3, two strokes, 14.5 HP engine. Only 1728 units were build in years 1957-1960 in Mielec aircraft plant. This one was spotted in Mielec old cars fest, organized for 50th birthday of Mikrus.
This was inspired by Picasso. It is of a paintbrush drawing a lightbulb with the 'ghost' of myself visible from the process.

On the 17th of September 1944 Operation Market Garden started. In the air, squadrons of Dakota C-47s flew towards their drop zones, carrying their human cargo of British and American paratroopers. On the way in, and again during the return trip they had to face an unexpectedly aggressive Luftwaffe, a myriad of German Flak guns, and even small arms fire.
One of the hundreds of C-47s hit by German defensive fire was 42-108874 (7H-U) of the 306th Squadron, 442nd Troop Carrier Group (TCG) from Chilbolton, UK. It was on route back from having dropped paratroopers of the 3rd Btn., 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR), 101st Airborne Division over Son, near Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. One of the LZ's as part of operation Market Garden. It was hit by German FlaK and it crashed on an open field (fortunately already in friendly territory) North-East of Geel, near Larum in Belgium.
Only two crew members – Flight Officer John K. Barber (co-pilot) and S/Sergeant Jessie H. Beal (crew chief) – bailed out before it was too low for a safe jump. The others – 1st Lieutenants Thomas H. Mills (pilot) and Olin H. Jennings (navigator), and S/Sergeant Rollin R. Bailey (radio op) survived the actual crash.
With a last stroke of bad luck, the aircraft managed to hit the only obstacle in the otherwise clear field: a 45 ton Jagdpanther which had belonged to 1. Kompanie of the schwere Panzer-Jäger Abteilung 559 and was disabled sometime between September 10th - 12th, 1944, during the fighting in and around Geel.
John D’Arcy-Dawson, a war correspondent for ‘The Sunday Times’, saw the plane come down. He later reported: ‘(…) only two of his crew were injured, and when I talked to him (the pilot) he was as perky and cheerful as though he had landed safely at his base. “I was hit when we were in a tight formation just before we dropped our load”, he told me. “It was a bit difficult to keep her level with one engine and flying at 350ft, but I managed it.”‘(Source - IWM - AFPU Photographer Captain Malindine)
After almost a years absence but who should I see stroking the Soho scene with his seasoned glances but the legendary Carlos Eduardo. Los Chimpos has taken time out from an eight month photo documentary in the Chilean Andes where he is study the last of the Q'artas Tribe. Like many such tribes they are in decline, being diluted by technology and the new generation's wish to live in the big cities.
You see Eduardo wearing his signature straw mitakas hat. And doesn't he look good in it?
Anyway, I learned that Carlos was planning to document the Palestinian demonstrations which were to take place later that afternoon. I understand he plans to post his best on his Flickr channel. Stay tuned for some classic Eduardo.

Aún recuerdo ese día en el que desperté por primera vez a tu lado, cuando noté que podía confiar plenamente en ti, sin decepcionarme nunca. Recuerdo esa sonrisa después de un primer beso... Recuerdo cada momento a tu lado, los buenos y malos, todos, todos a tu lado.
Por muchas tormentas que se avecinen sé que llegará la calma, y que estaré en esa tormenta cobijada entre tus brazos, en un caliente abrazo.
Me encanta dormirme mientras me miras y me acaricias el pelo, dormir entre caricias, dormir a tu lado, vivir a tu lado, vivir juntos, unirnos hasta ser solo uno.
1. I chose to go with a balanced symmetrical composition. The globe is my force that is centered with the candles on either side balancing the photo; thus, allowing everything to fall equally away from the center of my picture. It was shot horizontally to connote serenity which complements the lit candles and the atmosphere. The candles were purposely placed at a slight angle because I wanted them to embrace the globe. The camera was placed on a tripod and was level with the candles and slightly above the globe.
2. I wanted a shallow depth of field to focus on the candles and blur the globe. The background consists of a smooth, dark red wall. Tints are made by adding white to a color and the lit, white candles create that soft dark pink hue above the globe. The lit candles create a nice contrast in tone and color as the photo drifts from light to a darker background. The smooth lines of the candle also contrast with the sphere-shaped globe. All of these points: from the color of the wall, globe, candles and the two glows that are emitted from the candles above the globe were chosen specifically for my story which is explained in #5.
3. I photographed this scene at different times of the day to coordinate with the lighting to observe how it changes the photo. Lighting definitely can do that. I understand completely why the golden hours of shooting (sunrise and sunset) are called the golden hours. Shooting this at night made the photo too dark and during the noon hour created sun spots on the wall. This photo was taken early evening and with natural light coming in from the window. I diffused the lighting with drawn shades to eliminate glare on the wall. The lit candles add a dimension to the photo that was interesting. It creates a soft light and the reflection changed the color composition, also.
4. Technical challenges included working with lit candles. At night, I had a problem with two blue tinges from the lit candles showing up on my photos. Using a tripod (my first time with a tripod) and angling the camera down on the scene helped alleviate some of that, but still felt the photo was too dark despite moving my ISO to 200. Any higher than that made my photo grainy. Photographing at early evening, my settings were adjusted accordingly for a better shot. My Fstop was at 2.8 to allow for shallow depth of field. My white balance was on cloudy and the ISO was at 80 because I had enough natural light. My shutter speed was 25 to coordinate with the lighting also. I used the tripod and 2 second timer mostly because it allowed for a better focus manually on the candles.
5. My story: My pathophysiology teacher, Sue, read an excerpt from a book, “My Stroke of Insight”, which tied in very nicely with her lecture on strokes. It piqued my interest, and I decided to read it. This book is what I based my photo on, but it forced me to be creative and go outside my comfort zone! I am hoping after you read my story that my photo is not too eccentric and could be applied to the cover of this book. The is a real life story about a 37 year old, Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard-trained brain scientist who has a blood vessel explode in her brain. As an inquisitive neuroanatomist, she recognizes what is happening to her and watches her mind completely deteriorate to the point where she cannot walk, talk, read, write or recall any aspect of her life. She recovers, which is amazing, and writes this book of her journey through this process. She describes the brain as your universe (thus the world globe) and how her brain digresses as the hemorrhage (thus the dark red wall color) affects the right and left sides of her brain (the two hues above the candles). The insight (the lit candles) that Jill gains into the unique functions of her left brain and right brain as she shifts away from normal reality is amazing. Jill experiences herself “at one with the universe” in the absence of her left brain’s neural circuitry. Jill now tours the nation to help others how to rebuild their brains from trauma and maximize quality of life for them and those with normal brains to better understand how to cultivate our minds. Jill is quoted: “I believe the more time we spend running our deep inner peace circuitry, then the more peace we will project into the world, and ultimately the more peace we will have on the planet.”
I have always liked the simplicity and power potential of two stroke engines. The 500cc triple is by far one of the nicest I have had the pleasure to drive. You need to hold on tight when this thing hits its power band.
The Friends of Hove Stroke Club have operated this Iveco 50C13 minibus for ten years and I took this sneaky photo on Brighton seafront yesterday afternoon, 31st January, 2019. It was originally operated by Tendring Community Transport.
