It's Polaroid week! 2008 The Fall Edition!
I may be late to the party but at least I made it. My first ever contributions to the Polaroid pools and postings of my Polaroid images to Flickr.
Syfy's Battlestar Galactica received the top honor and The Big Bang Theory Seasons 1-2 DVD Boxset
picked up two awards at the 25th Television Critics Association Awards, a lively, untelevised affair recognizing critics' favorites.
HBO earned three awards, the most of any network, but AMC had the best average, picking up a major prize for each of its scripted shows. Mad Men repeated its win for Outstanding Achievement in Drama, and Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston was honored for Individual Achievement in Drama.
The Big Bang Theory Seasons 1-2 DVD Boxset
won for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, and star Jim Parsons received the Outstanding Individual Achievement in Comedy award. The show was the only one to receive two awards.
NBC's ER Seasons 1-13 DVD Boxset received the show's Heritage Award, which honors a long-standing program that had a lasting cultural or social impact. Betty White received the Career Achievement award.
Hosted by Chelsea Handler, host of E!'s Chelsea Lately, Saturday night's event was held at The Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa in Pasadena, Calif. The night's acceptance speeches were off-the-record, so we can't tell you who said what, except to note that there were slightly more four-letter words than you're likely to hear at the Emmy Awards. And we can neither confirm nor deny that White received two standing ovations.
TCA, founded in 1978, includes more than 200 reporters and columnists from the United States and Canada.
The full list of winners:
Program of the Year: Battlestar Galactica (Syfy)
Outstanding New Program: True Blood Season 1 DVD Boxset (HBO)
Outstanding Achievement in Drama: Mad Men (AMC)
Outstanding Achievement in Comedy: The Big Bang Theory Seasons 1-2 DVD Boxset

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

New promos for Jake aka 'Mirrored Theory'
Well this started out as a shot for the Saturday Self Challenge but it was not what I was taking . What is it , an Event Horizon , a Two dimensional Universe in a Universe , proof of the String Theory or the plasma after burner of a warp speed engine - who knows what - but it won't do for SSC !!
Earlier in the week someone had kindly commented on one of my old bike photos from the early 70s/80s and I was wondering if the bike was still being ridden by someone.
I knew there was a way of looking into this on the Governments website in the UK.
www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/
I found that my Suzuki cafe racer that I designed and built was in use for another 10 years after I sold it and hopefully its now in someones collection on a Statutory Off Road Notice rather than having been broken up or whatever.
As I can remember nearly every registration number of every vehicle I've driven and had half an hour to spare, I did a check on each one with some quite interesting results - especially the BMW.
Choosing this vehicle was a total mistake and came in between my first two Skoda Octavia vRSs and despite costing over twice as much, was half the car, so to speak.
A motor industry insider once told me something in confidence, which I took with a pinch of salt at the time although its always been at the back of my mind.
The vehicle check showed that after I got rid of it its never been on the road since - which given the car was only two years old when I waved a cheery goodbye to it, seems a bit odd. So a number of possibilities I think:-
Its now preserved in a museum as a classic (probabilty - absolutely zero)
Its now preserved in a museum as a warning to other hapless customers (mmm)
Some farmer is letting his twelve year old kid use it on the farm because it was absolutely useless on the road (whilst the last bit is true, the probabilty is zero to slight)
It got written off (possible, because despite being a 4x4 its ability to grip the road with those 19" alloys and that low profile tyre combination was abysmal)
Someone disliked it as much as I did and a. pushed it off a cliff or b. torched it (probability - very high - even if this isn't the answer, it should be)
or.......................
my friend was correct. Which is amazing, if true.
But don't ask me what it is......cos I can't tell ya.

I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio informs a lot of my art and photographic composition. The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo! Not so long ago, I came up with the Golden Ratio Principle which describes why The Golden Ratio is so beautiful.
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.

Old Chemistry Building, Baldwin Quad, University of Cincinnati
Starting in 1876, the Chemistry Department is one of the oldest education departments of the University of Cincinnati and it awarded its first Bachelors of Science in 1880.
When the department first opened its doors to students, it was located in an old school building in downtown Cincinnati, but it did not last long before relocating to the basement of the Cincinnati Medical College on Vine Street in Over-the-Rhine.
In 1912, the Department of Chemistry was authorized by the university to draw up plans for a new building. Ground was broken in June 1914 for the Chemistry building. The building was designed by Tietig and Lee and is constructed of red wire-cut brick and Terra cotta trimming.
Inside the Old Chem building, the entrance foyer has an often-unnoticed piece of history. A fountain, made by the famous Rookwood Pottery Company of Cincinnati, was designed to showcase the evolution of modern chemistry

Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!

Kushinagar, Kusinagar or Kusinara is a town and a Nagar Panchayat in Kushinagar district of Indian state of Uttar Pradesh located around NH-28, being 52 km east to Gorakhpur city. It is an important Buddhist pilgrimage site, where Buddhists believe Gautama Buddha attained Parinirvana after his death. Outside India, it is an International Buddhist Pilgrimage Centre. The followers of the Buddhism, especially from Asian Countries, wish to visit this place at least once in their lifetime.
ETHYMOLOGY
According to one theory, Kushwati was capital of Kosala Kingdom and according to Ramayana it was built by King Kush, son of Rama, protagonist of the epic Ramayana. While according to Buddhist tradition Kushawati was named prior to the king Kush. The naming of Kushwati is believed to be due to abundance of Kush grass found in this region.
DEMOGRAPHICS
As of 2011 India census, Kushinagar had a population of 22,214, with 3462 households. Males constitute 52% (11,502 Men) of the population and females 48% (10,712 Women). Kushinagar has an average literacy rate of 78.43%, higher than the national average of 74%, male literacy is 85%, and female literacy is 72%. In Kushinagar, 11% of the population is under 10 years of age. Schedule Caste (SC) constitutes 5.03% while Schedule Tribe (ST) were 2.39% of total population in Kushinagar Nagar Panchayat.
HISTORY
The present Kushinagar is identified with Kushawati( in pre-Buddha period ) and Kushinara (in Buddha period). Kushinara was the capital of Mallas which was one of the sixteen mahajanpads of the 6th Century B.C. Since then, it remained an integral part of the erstwhile empires of Maurya, Shunga, Kushana, Gupta and Harsha dynasties.
In medieval period, Kushinagar had passed under the suzerainty of Kultury Kings. Kushinara continued to be a living city till the 12th Century A.D. and was thereafter lost into oblivion. Padrauna is believed to be ruled over by a Rajput adventurer, Madan Singh in the 15th century A.D.
However, modern Kushinagar came into prominence in the 19th Century with archeological excavations carried out by Alexander Cunningham, the first Archeological Surveyor of India and later followed by C.L. Carlleyle who exposed the main stupa and also discovered a 6.10 meters long statue of reclining Buddha, in 1876 A.D. Chandra Swami, a Burmeses Monk, came to India in 1903 and made "Mahaparinirvana Temple" into a living shrine.
After independence, Kushinagar remained the part of district Deoria. On 13 May 1994, it came into being as a new district of Uttar Pradesh.
GEOGRAPHY
Kushinagar is situated at 53 km east from Gorakhpur on the National Highway -28, lies between latitude 26° 45´ N and 83° 24´ E. Gorakhpur is the main railway terminus for Kushinagar while air strip of U.P. Civil Aviation is available in Kasia, 5 km. from Kushinagar.
TOURISM
PARINIRVANA STUPA
The reclining Nirvana statue of the Buddha is inside the Parinirvana Stupa. Statue is 6.10 metres long and is made of monolith red - sand stone. It represents the "Dieing - Buddha" reclining on his right side with his face towards the west. It is placed on a large brick-pedestal with stone-posts at the corners.
NIRVANA CHAITYA (MAIN STUPA)
Nirvana Chaitya is located just behind the Main Parinirvana Temple. It was excavated by Carlleyle in the year 1876. During excavations, a copper-plate was found, which contained the text of the "Nidana-Sutra" which concluded the statement that plate had been deposited in the "Nirvana-Chaitya" by one Haribala, who also installed the great Nirvana Statue of Buddha in the temple front.
RAMABHAR STUPA
Ramabhar Stupa, also called a Mukutbandhan-Chaitya, is the cremation-place of Buddha. This Site is 1.5 km east of the main Nirvana Temple on the Kushinagar-Deoria road.
MATHA KUAR SHRINE
A Colossal statue of Lord Buddha is installed, which is carved out of one block which represents Buddha seated under the "Bodhi Tree" in a pose known as " Bhumi Sparsh Mudra " (Earth touching attitude). The inscription at the base of statue is datable to the 10th or 11th Century A.D.
OTHER MAJOR PLACES
Indo-Japan-Srilanka Temple: Indo-Japan-Srilanka temple is a marvel of Buddhist architectural grandeur of modern times.
Wat Thai Temple: It is a huge complex built in a typical Thai-Buddhist architectural fashion.
Ruins & Brick Structures: These are located around the main Nirvana Temple and Main Stupa. These are the remains of various monasteries of different sizes constructed from time to time in the ancient period.
Several museums, meditation parks and several other temples based on architecture of various eastern countries.
GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS
Kushinagar comes under Kushi Nagar (Lok Sabha constituency) for Indian general elections. Current Member of Parliament from this constituency is Rajesh Pandey of Bharatiya Janata Party who defeated R. P. N. Singh of Indian National Congress in Indian general elections, 2014.
Current Member of legislative assembly (MLA) from Kushinagar Assembly constituency is Brahma Shankar Tripathi of Samajwadi Party who is also minister in Government of Uttar Pradesh.
Following are some initiatives by district administration:
