This figure is purely based off of Lego Marvel Superheroes the Video Game! But I also added Excalibur because he uses it in the comics. I had to wait a while to finish this figure because I wanted to recycle my old Flash Helmet.
This is some detail of one of the big busy 2-page spreads that will be throughout the 'Everything Goes' books that I'm working on. The first book will be published by HarperCollins sometime in 2011.

This is part of my Portrait Project, in which I've been making an image of myself every day since 3/15/2007, and posting it on my blog at studiojuliakay.com/portraitproject
In this particular series I've been looking closely at the work of Giacometti and letting it be a strong influence.
This is a Raphael Tuck postcard printed in France around 1910. It shows the view looking south from Great Cumberland Place including Marble Arch, Cumberland Gate, Hyde Park, The Ring and on the left, the top of Park Lane. The photographer has also captured a Metropolitan Police Constable on traffic duty at the arch.

This design is my rendition of Jim Garrett's MOC (www.flickr.com/photos/decojim/24322330618). I stumbled on it online a while back and immediately recognised how effectively it had been captured in Lego. The original was brick-built, and I was only able to find two low-res photos, but a few hours later in Stud.io and this is what I came up with.
The Frazi-class Heavy Fighter was briefly seen several times in Babylon 5, often used in scouting and intelligence gathering missions.
This is exactly what I was hoping for (apart from the coffee stains from the previous page!) I bought and used my first set of watercolour pencils...
Despite the cloudy sky, the warm tones of the leaves radiate a special warmth and vibrancy that, for me, beautifully represent the change of seasons. The image captures exactly the calm, slightly mystical atmosphere that makes autumn so unique.
Trotz des bewölkten Himmels strahlen die warmen Töne der Blätter eine besondere Wärme und Lebendigkeit aus, die den Wechsel der Jahreszeiten eindrucksvoll für mich darstellen. Die Aufnahme vermittelt genau die ruhige, fast ein wenig mystische Stimmung, die den Herbst so einzigartig macht.
This monument is on the West side of the Braddock Heights pass (Catoctin Mountain) on Alternate Route 40.
This picture is 1 of 13 from a collection of see thru tops I bought her back in 2008 as a bundle each picture is from when she tried them on.
The truth of the matter is this....
I didn't buy just 13 see thru tops. I bought 67
13 different tops but more than one of each.
Hence having one of each size for Louise's to try on.
Back in the 2000s Louise used to do her own Ann summers type parties (Lingerie parties). Only difference was she owned everything sold by herself and the girls that wanted to do the parties for her.
I know some of you are going to ask this question so i will answer it now...lol
Yes, She did model some of the stuff at the parties and so did the girls that did the parties for her but!
NO PICTURES WERE EVER TAKEN AT THE PARTIES, sorry LOL
men we're not allowed.
She bought her stock in bulk from company's in the UK & America. She sold everything from stockings, bra & knicker sets to basques and all types of high heeled boots & shoes.
I would hate to think what it would cost to import those boxes from America today.
I was at a liquidation auction when these see thru tops came up for auction so i bid and won them. Bought them for £37 including fees. Louise sold them all except a couple she kept for herself for £5 each at her parties and obviously made a killing on them.
Did she pay me back you ask???
Yeah, In kind, Even though it came for free all the other times lol
This was just before the stags locked antlers... they walk side by side then so fast they turn and lock into each other and keep pushing and in this instance the strongest stag 'pushed' the other into the lake...Splash... see images before for the action and surprised look!
This gorgeous Kenworth makes another appearance in my photo stream. Taken at Marysville, Indiana in July 1986.
This is a cute dress that I borrowed from my friend, Stacey. She had a dress in the similar style as a pink dress that Alana gave me, and I had to try out her red one.
This photo was probably taken in a London photographic studio. Text printed on the reverse includes: 'Lightning photography by the British automatic photography co., Ltd., 26-31 Eyre Street Hill, London, EC'. This photograph is part of the McKilliam family collection which includes material from several McKilliam family members. The majority of the collection relates to Captain Robert Basil Vincent McKilliam's working life as an apprentice, a mate, and then captain - much of which was with the Aberdeen White Star line.

"Nature is the storehouse of potential life of future generations and is sacred." --Audrey Shenandoah, ONONDAGA
We need to honor and respect our Mother Earth. She is the source of all life. The sun shines life to the earth, then the earth produces life in all forms and in a balanced way. Everything is here to serve everything else. If we interrupt the flow in any way, we leave nothing for the future generations. Before every decision is made, we should ask, and answer, a final question, "If we do this, what will be the effects on the seventh generation? What will we cause our
children to live with?" We need to have respect and love for all things and for all people. We need to do this for ourselves and for all the children still unborn. My Creator, let me look at nature today and let me have the highest respect for all the things I see. All the two legged, the four legged, the winged ones, the plants, the water, the air, the Mother Earth. Let me have respect for myself.

This monument represents a white marble temple house, cut in two in the middle. Inside the thin gap, two red granite walls, arranged face to face, bear the names of the peoples who were victims of genocide in the 20th century. The space between the two parts is lit, symbolizing the energy of healing. The broken house rests on five sleepers representing the five continents: an allegory of our responsibility towards a humanity repeatedly struck by all sorts of misfortunes.
A strong commemorative gesture, Reparation constrains memory and chases the genocides of the 20th century and their victims from oblivion. The monument makes this public space a place in the heart of the city which, beyond pain, loss and resentment, offers forgiveness and peace, as its title says: the beginning of reparation. Furthermore, Larivée decided to develop the site as a set of small places for reflection. Paths, analogies of human existence in its movements and deportations, go up temporal spaces in a slow ascent, which leads us to the summit, where the white temple stands.

This is a scan of an original kodachrome slide. It was scanned with an Epson Pro V750, and finished up with very minor post processing work in Photoshop. The default size of this image is 2000x1250 pixels.
Clicking on the photo will enlarge it
The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a mixture of my own photographs, and those acquired through trading.
I began uploading scans into this Flickr photostream in 2017 to create an archive for the slides in my collection. Slides in particular suffer from their inability to be displayed easily and enjoyably, so this is just a place to make them more readily viewable.
Comments are welcome.

Remarks:
This is often how we see the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) in Yellowstone, far away and resting. Spotting scopes are prevelent here but we don't have one. This image was taken through the Canon 800mm f11 STM lens and shows what appears to be 13 Gray Wolves all resting save one that has its head up. This bunch was resting on Specimen Ridge in Yellowstone National Park of Wyoming. There was a fine snow happening at the time.
This vendor, dressed in the traditional Chosun white garb, is selling faggots - i.e., bundles of firewood - that likely saw plenty of use in keeping homes warm during the bitter winter. Somewhat rare 'variant' postcard depicting the wood sellers. Circa 1915.

This rose sits in dark shadows
No one knows
This rose weeps its own tears
Pain it fears
Petals flutter to the ground
One by one
Weak and all alone
Brittle, wilting, dying
Watching is horrifying
The rose fights for life
Like being cut by a sharp knife
It screams but no one hears
Shedding these petals of tears
This rose is left behind
This rose battles its mind
This rose has fallen apart
This rose is my heart.

This is a scanned print from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints,20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jims, on behalf of Jims wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my owns prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate . It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jims wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
It was the development of our second generation website with its photo gallery located quite cleverly on Flickr, rather than making our own site unwieldy, that led me to start uploading photos to Flickr. It was initially for my own and historic company photos but with unlimited storage and reasonable upload speeds I soon started uploading other stuff. Scanning one of Jims photos was a random choice one winters evening, initially very slow and time consuming I nevertheless stuck with it and things just snowballed. It was obvious that there are a lot of people interested in this type of thing. I can now scan and edit in Photoshop in a minute or so per print. Out of over 30,000 images on Flickr I have around 3500 of Jims photos. I don’t promote myself on Flickr – at all! So my viewing figures grow organically, without using the mutual favourite awarding etc. that is endemic on Flickr. The statistics tell me that travel (I don’t do porn) is the most popular genre. My travel photos, particularly later stuff receive far more views than transport. The transport stuff will hit a ceiling and then build very slowly over time, with lots of people coming back to them again and again. Travel of course is far more inclusive but there is an unbelievable amount out there, far more than the 1980’s UK transport stuff. The travel and landscape photos have pushed the views past 12 million, with a current average of around 40,000 views a day, peaking with an upload from a new destination at around 90,000 views. I recall being excited with a 100 views.
My reasons for buying the collection were mixed. On the one hand it was a unique snapshot of the transport industry, predominantly in the north of England, from around 1980 onwards. This was my patch and my era. I passed my Class One a few days after my 21st birthday in 1980 and spent the next 17 years being a Jack the Lad on the road, waving at and crossing paths with many of the wagons that Jim photographed, in fact my owns wagons are in the mix. Jim did travel to Scotland extensively and into the Southern Hemisphere a number of times hence there is a broad range of material in his collection. I knew I wouldn’t get a chance like it again. On the other hand the reason I gave up hauling scrap around the North of England in a Foden eight wheeler was the diagnosis of an incurable form of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the age of 38, although a low grade cancer I was already a widower with four young children and I was looking at an uncertain future and it terrified me. I wasn’t remotely ill but was treated with Chemotherapy, again, I wasn’t ill and didn’t need time off work. The shock however brought me to my senses and I came off the road, I joined the normal world, up at 6.30 not 4.30am. I didn’t realise it at the time but I had closed the door on my wagon driving days. I was worried that, at some point, I wouldn’t be able to work physically hard, bearing in mind the family business is a scrap yard – a physical sort of environment. I had it in my mind that there was a possibility that I could use my own and Jims photos to supplement my income, I had four kids to feed and I knew there wouldn’t be any family financial support – it’s not that sort of family. I still have the NHL although thankfully you wouldn’t know it. This type of thing is now considered treatable – not curable- after around forty endoscopies, a 100 stomach biopsies, bone marrow samples and endless scans of different types, I may well get to die of old age, not cancer. It was discovered almost by accident at the time, not illness on my part, and long may it stay that way! The lack of illness made the shock all the greater though.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jims work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC's - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet.
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jims photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
None of my photographs are free to use – without my permission - only free to view! If you breach my copyright you are stealing what is mine and if I find out, I will pursue the case until you rectify the situation. Arguments that attempt to justify copyright theft are just excuses for theft from people with little or no understanding of copyright law – or more frequently- deliberate, selective, misinterpretation of the law – to suit their own ends. I have never knowingly refused a reasonable request, I don’t join groups but am quite happy for people to add photos to groups. I dislike exchanging long and time consuming emails – I prefer to talk on the phone, being the opposite of anti-social in person, you can’t shut me up. I am generally speaking an anti-social, social networker, I just don’t have the time for it, in fact, I joke that I am going to start a social network for internet anti-social people, you’ll just register your name and that’s it – no networking and endless mindless twaddle. Face-less Book? The antidote to Facebook. I like to get out and chat to people face to face and welcome customers with an interest in photography in to my office to chat on a regular basis. I also print – and give- A4 prints to many of the drivers that visit our yard. I photograph wagons and plant that I come into contact with in a day’s work I don’t go looking to photograph them in my free time. Wagons are a necessary evil in my life these days and they cost me money – every day! For the extensive story and history of JB Schofield &sons Ltd look here; www.jbschofieldandsons.co.uk/
So far photography remains a hobby, and I refuse any offers to turn it into a business, the regulations surrounding scrap and transport and the running of the yard keep me occupied most of the time. In my free time I cycle hard for fitness, walk hard for pleasure, fitness, and the challenge, take photos for pleasure and the challenge, edit them because I have to, and lastly, drink wine because I want to. There isn't time for another business. The kids are now adults and all of them work for me, and with me, another challenge.
This year there is a shortage of buses in Gyor for urban needs, so 2 pcs. Ikarus C80.30M (KRR-180 and HHR-810) work on urban lines instead of suburban lines around Gyor.

This is the memorial to not one but two mining disasters at Auchengeich. In 1931 six miners were killed by an explosion - a number of their comrades tried to go back to save them, but were overcome by fumes and had to be rescued themselves.
The second disaster was in 1959, when 47 men were trapped by a blaze, a thousand feet below the surface of the Earth. So severe was the fire and smoke (most were overcome by the smoke, it is thought) that the rescue attempts could not get close, and eventually they were left with no choice but to flood the put to dowse the flames.
47 men gone just like that, dozens of families shattered. My mother was a wee girl when it happened, but she remembered some of the children whose family members were in the pit being taken out of school, wailing and screaming their grief. The history books like to talk about the Great Events - the Industrial Revolution, exploration, empire and all of that, but often neglects that everything was built on the broad backs of men who laboured in such dangerous conditions for little reward.
