The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum has space dedicated to the wreck of the Henrietta Marie which sank off the coast of Key West in the summer of 1700.
The Henrietta Marie was a slave ship that carried captive Africans to the West Indies, where they were sold as slaves. The ship wrecked at the southern tip of Florida on its way home to England, and is one of only a few wrecks of slave ships that have been identified.
"The Henrietta Marie carried a crew of about eighteen men. It was probably built in France sometime in the 17th century. The ship came into English possession late in the 17th century, possibly as a war prize during the War of the Grand Alliance. It was put to use in the Atlantic slave trade, making at least two voyages carrying Africans to slavery in the West Indies. On its first voyage, in 1697-1698, the ship carried more than 200 people from Africa that were sold as slaves in Barbados.
In 1699 the Henrietta Marie sailed from England on the first leg of the triangular trade route with a load of trade goods, including iron and copper bars, pewter utensils, glass beads, cloth and brandy. The ship sailed under license from the Royal African Company (which held a monopoly on English trade with Africa), in exchange for ten percent of the profits of the voyage. It is known to have traded for African captives at New Calabar on the Guinea Coast. The ship then sailed on the second leg of its voyage, from Africa to the West Indies, and in May 1700 landed 191 Africans for sale in Port Royal, Jamaica.
After leaving Port Royal the ship headed for the Yucatán Channel to pass around the western end of Cuba (thus avoiding the pirates infesting the passage between Cuba and Hispaniola) and catch the Gulf Stream, the preferred route for all ships leaving the Caribbean to return to Europe. The Henrietta Marie wrecked on New Ground Reef near the Marquesas Keys, approximately 35 miles (56 km) west of Key West. There were no survivors, and the fate of the ship remained unknown for almost three centuries."

Some days ago I met my origami-friend Anett in Munic to do some folding.
She gave me as a gift a little model of Triangle Twist Variations. I was thrilled about the beauty. – At home I tried it for myself. And very deep in my brain I remembered a photo I made in Berlin at the German Origami-Convention. It was a tessellation made by Chantal Pixley. I took a second look at this photo and tried to do fold it. And happily I made it !
Thanks for inspiration to Anett and Chantal Pixley.
Here is the photo I remembered

Please have a look at Chantal’s flickr site:
Over 58,000 people attended the Freight Rover Trophy Final at Wembley in May 1987 where fans saw Mansfield Town beat Bristol City in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw at full time.
Seen in the coach park that day was Blue Triangle of Rainham Daimler Fleetline / Park Royal JGF404K, formerly London Transport DMS404.

The three elements are:
ISO - the measure of a digital camera sensor’s sensitivity to light
Aperture - the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken
Shutter Speed - the amount of time that the shutter is open
The Window
Imagine your camera is like a window with shutters that open and close.
Aperture is the size of the window. If it’s bigger more light gets through and the room is brighter.
Shutter Speed is the amount of time that the shutters of the window are open. The longer you leave them open the more that comes in.
Now imagine that you’re inside the room and are wearing sunglasses (hopefully this isn’t too much of a stretch). Your eyes become desensitized to the light that comes in (it’s like a low ISO).
There are a number of ways of increasing the amount of light in the room (or at least how much it seems that there is. You could increase the time that the shutters are open (decrease shutter speed), you could increase the size of the window (increase aperture) or you could take off your sunglasses (make the ISO larger).
Ok - it’s not the perfect illustration - but you get the idea.
Another way that a friend recently shared with me is to think about digital camera exposure as being like getting a sun tan.
Now getting a suntan is something I always wanted growing up - but unfortunately being very fair skinned it was something that I never really achieved. All I did was get burnt when I went out into the sun. In a sense your skin type is like an ISO rating. Some people are more sensitive to the sun than others.
Shutter speed in this metaphor is like the length of time you spend out in the sun. The longer you spend in the sun the increased chances of you getting a tan (of course spending too long in the sun can mean being over exposed).
Aperture is like sunscreen which you apply to your skin. Sunscreen blocks the sun at different rates depending upon it’s strength. Apply a high strength sunscreen and you decrease the amount of sunlight that gets through - and as a result even a person with highly sensitive skin can spend more time in the sun (ie decrease the Aperture and you can slow down shutter speed and/or decrease ISO).
neither metaphor is perfect but both illustrate the interconnectedness of shutter speed, aperture and ISO on your digital camera.
NB: A third metaphor that I’ve heard used is the Garden Hose (the width of the hose is aperture, the length that the hose is left on is shutter speed and the pressure of the water (the speed it gets through) is ISO.

Active Assignment of the Week September 28 – October 5: Paper
For this assignment take photos of paper or things made of paper. There are many items made of paper so let your imagination run. Items could range from a creative display of a single sheet of paper to a great shot of complex origami.
Restriction: No scrapbook pages.
Dare: Go minimalistic or abstract
WIT: Several 1-inch square pieces of paper folded in half to form a triangle. Arranged the pieces on a sheet of white paper and used a flashlight to illuminate the scene. Slight crop and some curves adjustment in PSE.

When sewn you then have an over lap on the top and bottom. After the rows come together then these won't show and you'll still have nice points on the triangles... in theory.
Inspired somewhat by Melisande's Encyclopedia Hexagonalis. I was on the bus thinking about what I should fold, and it occurred to me that we should be able to combine two grids on a single sheet of paper, as long as they shared a common set of pleats.
This seems straightforward enough that somebody's probably done it before...
