This is my room in Building 204, Fort Clayton, the barracks for the HHC (Headquarters, Headquarters Company) MP Company. I took this picture to show my room to my mom.
This flower is called higanbana in Japanese which literally means equinoctial flower because it blooms around the autumnal equinox.
Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan.
今年も律儀に秋の彼岸の頃に咲きました。

This is what can protect your brand new Nikon SB800 flash when it is on your stand with an ebay trigger and it is windy outside. White shoot trhough umbrella, $15. SB800 $300plus. It was frustrating. I was over $100 miles from a replacement and my weekend was just getting started. I even thought, "Hey, it's kind of windy, I wonder if this could fall over since it is an umbrella and it is like a sail in the wind." Uhh. I should have looked ahead. So, if my mistake helps someone else NOT do what I did and they make a secure way of keeping theirs from toppling over, it is worth it to me. It was on a Smith-Victor Raven 8 light stand with an umbrella / flash head. I'm not sure how I could have stabilized it. But I THOUGHT about it at the time.
Oh, lighting info: sb800 to left on unbroken stand fired with ebay trigger.
This is probably one of my favourite shots from the shoot.
The rainbow blood was painted on a big canvas and hung on the wall behind Magnus. When i took it, I honestly didn't know how i was going make it blend correctly, but it came out amazing!

This is why we fought the war, boys! Two men admire the legs of three women. The people in this tiny photo are identified on the back as Red, Edna, Jo, Mary, and Lyle. Lyle's hand touches Mary's thigh, but Mary seems to be okay with this -- unless he did it at the last second before the photo was snapped. It's dated June 29, 1947.
I said that "This is why we fought the war!" but I don't know if Red and Lyle were in World War II. Red might be too young.
Jo and Mary are wearing bikinis, by the way.
This Jo is almost certainly the same Jo in another photo, from 1949.
Gary Busey, actor, turned 3 on this date, by the way.
This neat old box is 19cm long, 10.5cm wide and 5cm tall. From its style, I'd say that this can be dated from the late 1920s.

This 'Chicago Peace' rose is the favorite in my garden! The color of the petals are more intense this time of year than in the Spring, thanks to Mother Nature!
This is a photo of my grandmother's office at home. She is an certified personal accountant. This is her work place at home.
This modern version of the B&O TrailerJets and Conrail TrailVans is westbound running on 2 going around trains on the other track.
I tried a little experiment last night by using a high ISO to capture an after dark shot without a tripod. I think I pulled it off, but just wish the composition had been better.
Between September 1969 and July 1973 I attended Benjamin Adlard County Primary School, and each day I walked the just over half-a-mile to school (and there and back at lunchtime, too - most kids still went home each day for "dinner" at that time). Here is a 2011 revisit of my four-times-a-day journey, starting here, in Tooley Street, where I lived at the time.
The top of the street is dominated by the old Kings' Theatre, but when I was going to school it was, and still is, a bingo hall rather than a theatre. The Lion statue that stands atop the building was my home "landmark", and over the years Ihave seen it painted a yellowish-cream, white, and, probably since it was last repainted in the late 1980s,in silver.
My journey to school started at about 8.20AM going up to the top of the street, to the junction with Trinity Street. At lunchtime (we always called it "dinner time"), the factory Buzzer at Marshalls sounded at about five to One, and that meant I had to leave in about 15 minutes in order to get to afternoon school by 1.30PM.

This Panorama was made from the National Geographic Explorer. The coast is of the north shore of South Georgia Island.
This view of Thacher Island and its twin lighthouses, off Rockport, Massachusetts, was taken in June 2002.
This Upper Harlem Line shuttle is just a few hundred feet from the new terminus at Wassaic, New York.

This is how I make my maps. Embroidering over graph paper then ripping it away to reveal the fabric underneath.
It also helps to look up from time to time. The sun is hitting the windows and reflecting back through a clearing fog. It would have been nice to have one of my big cameras but the point and shoot is easier to carry on walks.
