super excited to be featured amongst such talented artists in a lovely 11 page piece in computers arts magazine this month. the article: Illustration - Today and Tomorrow - looks at "how leading artists are climbing to new heights"
this is the front double opening page of story - you can see my piece, "there's no place like home", in the bottom right hand corner.
the text reads as follows:
"jo 'miss led' henly is another illustrator whose work is making people take notice. she's not only dabbling in the uk art scene - she's used it to launch her career. after falling into teaching art, she realised she was inspiring others to do what she was frightened of doing herself. subsequent work invovled online and offline exhibitions closer in concept than illustration work. everything was self-initiated. this gave her the confidence to keep pushing boundaries, thereby increasing the creativity and experimentation in her work. inspired by poster pop, pre-raphaelite portraits, graffiti and art nouveau, her free flowing, almost classic illustration style came about on its own. she is now regularly taking on editioral work as well as further opportunities in the art space.
when secretwars wars took their live drawing competition to the designersblock festival in london last september, henly emerged the winner. she says, "being the only female ever to enter was enough for me, but after three exhausting hours over a 20x8-foot wall space, four rounds and four stories , i was victorious!"
This little piece of history is an IBM 62PC Disk File, an IBM term for what has today become commonly known as the Hard Disk Drive. This particular model was the first ever hard disk example to use an 8 inch recording surface. It uses a mains driven spindle motor running at 3400 RPM via a belt drive and a voice coil head positioning actuator, under track follower servo control. Developed under the codename "Piccolo" at IBM Hursley in Hampshire, England, this drive shipped in 1979 and was included in a number of IBMs midrange systems. These included later versions of the System/34 (Introduced 1977), System/38 (Introduced 1979) and in some early AS/400 systems. IBM also shipped a washing machine sized storage facility called the 3310 Direct Access Storage Facility which had provision for up to two of this drives per cabinet for a total capacity of 129MB. This was primarily aimed at customers using the IBM 4331 Processor and those with the low end of the IBM System/370 range of processors. As far as I know, IBM continued producing these drives right up to 1991, presumably for customer support purposes. The cat got in the way, however she does show to good effect the size of this unit. Total capacity of this device is 64.5MB. Incredible how far technology has come in such a short space of time...
This Sculpture featuring two boys is located at the entrance to the Kingsley Hotel in Cork which happens to be across the road from the much loved ’Two Working Men’ sculpture by Oisin Kelly. Locally that sculpture is known as “Cha And Miah’.
Making a guess I am assuming that sculpture at the hotel is a representation of the two working men when they were boys.
Maybe someone from Cork can supply further information.
This photo was taken last year in June, when the skies were becoming regularly blue for summer. These three flowers were on the top of the rough stone wall at the side of my garden and, as if to confirm that all is working correctly, season-wise, the plant produced the very same three flowers again this week.

This is quite an interesting story, so before you decide you want to be a queen here is a note of caution....
Mary Stuart, known to history as Mary, Queen of Scots, was one of the most fascinating and controversial monarchs of 16th century Europe. At one time, she claimed the crowns of four nations - Scotland, France, England and Ireland. Her physical beauty and kind heart were acknowledged even by her enemies, yet she lacked the political skills to rule successfully in Scotland. Her second marriage was unpopular and ended in murder and scandal; her third was even less popular and ended in forced abdication in favor of her infant son. She fled to England in 1568, hoping for the help of her cousin, Elizabeth I. Her presence was dangerous for the English queen, who feared Catholic plotting on Mary's behalf. Mary never met her cousin and remained imprisoned for the next nineteen years. She was executed in 1587, only forty-four years old. By orders of the English government, all of her possessions were burned. In 1603, upon Elizabeth's death, Mary's son became king of England as James I.
There is a bit of mystery about the origin or the statue and naming of this property in Fleet Street London.. Best i can make out is that It appears that the building dates back to 1905. A nearby pub sign says "the building next door, Mary Queen of Scots House was built in 1905. The statue of Mary Stuart a romantic idea of the developer Sir John Tollemache MP, who was a great admirer of Mary Q of S." In addition, the building was designed for a Scottish Insurance Company
This scene will look familiar to any photographer from Northern California – it looks a lot like Muir Woods redwood tree forest. Amazing similarity in look and feel, so I had to stop and take a picture just for that!
Near Hobart, Tasmania
Canon EOS 350D with Tamron 70-300mm (183mm), f/8 1/4sec ISO 200. Tripod, bad fluorescent strip light and two 10 watt halogens bounced off the ceiling. Background is an A4 recycled paper envelope, all suspended on a long skewer from the cutlery holder (with some gaffa tape). Brought the ends in on the levels a little, cropped and bordered with Gimp/Linux. This is one I had to stop thinking about, so here it is.
This will be turned into sauerbraten after days of preparation, including marinating the meat and hours of slow cooking. Other ingredients include bay leaves, celery, wine vinegar and assorted other spices.
this shot started off as another Holga sprocket negative, scanned, printed and then exposed through a Daylab before being re-scanned. The Arches watermark (upside down) shows what paper I used for the transfer.
This is Julia. She is my youngest sister. She is the only one of my five other siblings who is willing to be photographed.
This is an amazing place to accumulate different thoughts, and, or,get away from the WORK aspect that comes with college.
This was taken at Aparbat, a 4200 m summit in Gulmarg Kashmir. As an idea how high this place is, Mount Robson in the Canadian Rockies stands 3954 m tall. Reaching here is an experience in itself, there is an 8 km long cable car (I rode it while listening to Led Zeppelin's epic "Kahsmir")
Gulmarg is becoming a major skiing destination in world and is contesting for the 2010 Winter Commonwealth Games.
P.S. I hate the dust on my sensor.
This is the Waterfalls at the Sheep Farm (Groton Open Space Land).
I thought with all the cold weather we have been having that it would look nice. But I never thought it would look like this. I guess with all the rain we had in this past Autum has payed off. What looks like fire wood is from a tree that was up rooted from Hurricane Sandy.

This is a large kitchen with painted cabinetry along the walls, and a walnut island. The island has decorative turned legs and open bookcases on each end. There will be a second row of doors above the normal doors on the upper cabinets

This is the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands.
The museum was established in 1975, and the first buildings moved here in 1976. Since then a 26 acre site has been developed, with the unique conditions of living and working in the Black Country from the mid 19th century to early 20th century.
It is off Tipton Road in Dudley.
This is the Racecourse Colliery at the museum.
The ground beneath the Museum site was once mined for coal, limestone, fireclay, and ironstone. More than 40 old mine shafts are shown on old plans and around one of these shafts, Racecourse Colliery has been built as a typical small Black Country coalpit.
The colliery was so named because the land on which it stands was originally the Dudley Racecourse which was closed when the railway line from Dudley to Wolverhampton was built in 1846.
Racecourse Colliery is shown as it would have been in about 1910 with the Manager's Office in the weighbridge house from Rolfe Street in Smethwick, the typical hovel and blacksmith's shop. It represents a typical Black Country coal, or fire clay mine. The wooden pit frame stands over a shaft 30 metres deep and a cylinder outside drum steam powered winding engine would wind the cage up and down the shaft.
Next to the colliery is Brook Shaft a reconstruction of a small 1930's pit built over an original mine shaft worked before 1842.
This building is the Weighbridge House. It originally stood on Rolfe Street in Smethwick.

Finally today I got a professional lab to scan this roll of black and white film.
Mr. Mohandas – well, at first when we entered this house welcomed by Mr. Othman, the chief tenant, we did not discover Mr. Mohandas til the later part when we were about to leave the place after bumping in and shooting the interior of the pre-war house for a while. I remember seeing Mr. Mohandas was outside his room standing still when he saw us, few feet across were we were talking to Mr. Othman. The chief tenant told him that we were guests and were here to take photos. I remember seeing only his silhouette because of the sunlight from the window cast over him, making him look a bit mysterious as he was quiet and motionless. Curiosity led to approach this man to get a closer look even though at first I felt a little afraid. And so I started a conversation with him and at that very moment my two friends were already shaking hands with Mr. Othman and about to bid him goodbye. I thought it was not over yet til I get some good shots of Mr. Mohandas’ portrait. I begged him to have his photo taken. He kept saying, next time, next time. But I told him, there might not be another next time and that while he is still 'young' now let me take his photo. After much persuasion ( and a little sweet talk), he agreed.
Mr. Mohandas was very calm and natural looking during the photo shoot. He did not even show any feeling of awkwardness when three photographers around him clicking their shutters. My friend turned to me in the middle of the shoot saying, he is handsome. Only at that moment I turned to have a better look at Mr. Mohandas and realised he is indeed a handsome 'young' man. Later I asked about his age, he told me he is 72 years old, I was a bit surprised :D

...this is the photo I keep on my altar. A couple of years ago, another devotee saw this image in one of my pictures here and asked me to scan it for her. I never got around to it until today, but here it finally is!

This is the chapel of the separatist prison in Lincoln castle. The idea was that prisoner would effectively be in solitary confinement to reflect on their crimes. The boxes mean prisoners cannot see each other, only the preacher played by Dr Ian Whitbread, who I've skillfully chopped off at the top. This picture has 1st year students in it.

I saw this on Pinterest but can't get the pattern link to work. Looks like it was made my someone in Portugal. If anyone finds this pattern, please, please, please share the link.
This surfer was taking advantage of the steady offshore winds to ply the coast line. I was pleased to capture the entire setup with a sharp image.

This was a fantastic loop! Made even better with Sandy and Glen from the Coastal Mountain Sporthaus as my guides. About 40 miles, most all of it gravel... Creeks, river, views. Wow!
This is a short half day hike from the Texas Spring Campground area near Furnace Creek. Shot with a 20mm prime lens.
This is a NaNo project.
I am very tire due to time lag. Need to adjusted back to the Pacific time zone.
Would give you all more information tomorrow.
Thanks for your visits & support.
I deeply appreciate it.
This is a shot of a street in Fossa Nova. It was here that St. Thomas Aquinas died. The church at Fossa Nova is visible in the background. Sixtus Senensis, a Dominican himself, relates the following in his Bibliotheca Sancta: “Holy Thomas, when he was at the monastery of the Cistercians at Fossa Nova, near Amasenum, the river of Campania, the character of his stomach having been broken on account of uninterrupted studies, he laid down…”
This was a reasonably good noctilucent cloud display with patches of distinctive ripples. They were very distinct in binoculars but not obvious to the naked eye.
The timelapses run from 22:12 UT to 22:36 UT. and are speeded up about 30 times. The bright star to the right is Capella.
Note the smooth flow through the ripples and slightly turbulent flow downstream.
This is Hunstanton beach at early hours of sunrise. My first time trying to produce a panoramic image.

This is our 11 week old puppy, Beck. He loves his family, is learning his commands well and especially loves to hike the trails near our home.
This is my Dahon Curve D3 with a new KLICKfix mount that allows you to affix bags and baskets compatible with it.
I got this KLICKfix frame adaptor from Thorusa.com. It is the longer one with better clearance. I wanted to use my Ultimate 5 Classic handlebar bag on more than one bike (the Ortlieb bracket only works properly on my mountain bike's handlebar, and not on the Dahon's) so this was a godsend.

I also bought the New KLICKfix caddy horizontal mount that can be attached to the handlepost or the seatpost. I attached it on the seatpost of my MU P24 and the Ortlieb bag sits nicely there too, under my butt.
This P-51 is parked on the ramp at Republic airport during the annual air show weekend. Thanks to the American Airpower Museum for making this night shoot possible.

This amazingly original Fiat 850 Sport Coupe is about to be restored by Little Garage Classics in Halifax. A French car, it probably still has the original paintwork and apart from the driver's door pillar, most of the rust is superficial. The colour, white, is rare on this car. It will make an extremely unusual and enjoyable classic when complete.
