I was 20 yrs old and it was my first full day in New Zealand back packing / hitch hiking on my first adventure away from home. I found myself, alone, in the middle of nowhere ... no buildings, cars or people. It was sunny and peaceful. I had no idea where I would end up that day. I must have been a little nervous as I'd never hitch hiked before. But I don't remember being nervous ... just extremely calm.
I was concentrating on the horizontal lines circling the hills ahead of me and thinking about the generations of sheep that had created those indents grazing and walking around the hills .... and how these little trails had been there before I was born and would be there long after I was gone.
The experience I had that day was ... well, for just a few moments ... I WAS EVERYWHERE AND I KNEW EVERYTHING. It was not frightening. It felt natural and yet very, very different and more powerful than anything I'd ever known before. It was hugely satisfying. There was no sense of any supreme being ... just great peace and understanding.
I am convinced that Bruce Cockburn has had a similar experience as he writes:
"Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy ...
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me"
What I'm saying is ... ' thinking about eternity' seems to be one of the many triggers for such an experience. Some women giving birth report it too ... thinking about all the women before them and those who will come after them .... labouring.
But my main trigger, that day, would be the lines on the hill I was studying. It's as if that pattern does something to the brain. Japanese Zen practioners rake sand into similar patterns then sit and meditate on the design. And Roger Banister (the Miracle Mile) reported an experience he had running on a beach where the tide left ridges in the sand identical to my sheep lines and the Japanese raked sand.
The bottom image is the St James's labyrinth. It is said that walking a labyrinth is, itself, part of a mystical tradition.

So I'm back down to one flash system, but I'm am working on buying one of my own.
Tonight was a little complicated, I feel like crap so I wasn't really in the mood to look at the camera (let alone put in a lot of effort) and didn't want to just settle for a random picture of my kids toys or anything else so here you have it, I'm in the picture but don't have to look at the camera.
Now if you all will excuse me, I'm going to self medicate myself into a good nights sleep...

I'm trying to get a little more creative with my shots, and change up my post processing a little bit.
I have been really digging noise and grain in my photos for some reason...so whenever I see it in a photo I actually prefer it. It kinda gives a gritty look :).
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!

Here is how I modded my cactus wireless triggers. I dumped the builtin cable with the 1/4 phono plug and dumped the PC jack. I added a 1/8 phono jack and used the opening from the 1/4 phono plug wire to add a loop to hang the trigger from whatever is handy.
Just an FYI - These images were taken with my hacked Canon SD500 using the allthebest hack and a piece of kleenx over the flash to soften the flash at such a close range.
One SB-28 triggered with a Cybersync bounced against the ceiling to the left. Attached to cabinets with a super clamp.
I see this image being found through lots of image searches about baking so I'd like to specifically remind people that this image is copyrighted and use of the image without my permission is not allowed. Thanks!

Now for those people who don't like the thing-thing bubble hands, I cooked this up to help anyone who needs help properly making arms. This is also for Sgtsammac21, who inspired me to make this (sorry Sam, but I was bored and meh.)
Everything is colour coded to make it easier to understand, also, the hands themselves are crap, but I focused on getting the arm itself in a proper/realistic position, also, the AK's a bit small :P .
A few guidelines:
Try to use the same number of parts in both hands, that makes them the same length.
Use circles for the shoulder and elbows, and squares for the rest of the hand.
DO NOT forget that the trigger hand is looking straight, that means it will have to bend at the joint (see note).
Hope it helps a few people!

Society of Friends of Music in Vienna
The Society of Friends of Music in Vienna (briefly : Wiener Musikverein) is a traditional club in Vienna to promote musical culture. It was founded in 1812.
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of the site!)
Founded Concert 1812
Foundation
On 29 November and 3 December 1812 was performed in the Winter Riding School of the Hofburg the Handel oratorio Timothy. This concert can be considered as a trigger for the founding of the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna. As the founder of the association is Joseph Sonnleithner (1766-1835) then secretary of the imperial Viennese court theater (Burgtheater and Kärntnertortheater). The proceeds of the concert should benefit the newly founded institution. Emperor Franz I donated 1,000 guilders, the net profit amounted to 25,934 florins finally Viennese currency. First office of the company was the Lobkowitz Palace today Lobkowitzplatz.
Goals
According to its statutes, which originated in 1814, is the "Empor renewed progress on music in all its branches" primary purpose of the Company.
The Friends of Music Society reaches(d) this in three ways:
The establishment of a conservatory,
The systematic collection of musicological documents (archive)
Organizing their own concerts.
To date, private commitment of individual members shapes the functioning of the Company. Since January 2000, all editions of the monthly appearing club newspaper "music lovers" on the website of the company are available .
Concerts
On the initiative of Antonio Salieri's first choral activities at the Musikverein go back, for example, also in 1824 at the Vienna initial or first performances of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and 9th Symphony was involved. After there had been choral concerts of the Association for many years, then in 1858 was the official establishment of the Concert Choir held as a branch association of the Vienna Musikverein. The first principal conductor of the Vienna Singing Society was Johann von Herbeck, directs the choir since 1991, Johannes Prinz.
Musikverein (1831-1870) to the Tuchlauben (home to the Red Hedgehog), first building on the right, then No. 558, now No. 12
First concert hall of the society
1829 , the Company purchased a scoring for Kärnthnerviertl house on the Tuchlauben (home to the Red Hedgehog, rented from 1822, then House # 558, today Tuchlauben 12) with several business offices and apartments, it had the house demolished and gave at Franz Lossl (Site Manager: Carl Högl) by around 88,000 guilders (including equipment) the construction of a three storey new building with a concert hall on the 1st Floor in order. The site was approximately opposite the former Ofenlochgasse, since 1863 Kleeblattgasse. The Brandstätte that time not yet branched of from the Tuchlauben, but was a small place near the St. Stephen's Cathedral.
The festival opening concert of the hall took place on 4 November 1831 instead (then the cholera raged in Vienna). The Musikverein contributed among other things at this location (visitor concerts were still highly popular in the large ball room of the Hofburg ) essentially to the public concert life in Vienna.
The hall proved with 700 seats soon to be too small, but was still used for almost 40 years. 1846 gas lighting was installed. In the upper floors of the Conservatory and the archives of the Society, offices and rehearsal rooms were located.
The Society of Friends of Music in 1870 moved into their new house and sold its first house in the same year. In the subsequent use of it emerged inter alia the Strampfer-Theatre. The building was demolished in 1885.
Vienna Musikverein in 1898
Today's office of the Company
1863, Emperor Franz Joseph I donates the society from the state capital, the area on the bank of the river opposite the Vienna Karlskirche (church). It was on the former glacis of the 1858 demolished city walls around the old town. 1861-1869 emerged near the present-day Vienna State Opera, on the neighboring construction site on the riverbank 1865-1868 the Vienna Künstlerhaus, on the direction of ring road adjacent square 1862-1865 today's Imperial Hotel.
The of Theophil Hansen, who later built the Parliament, designed house, shortened to Vienna Musikverein, was on 6 January 1870 opened with a celebratory concert. That same year, the High Steward of the Emperor, Prince Constantine zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, was in gratitude for the favor of the imperial court for the new building project appointed as a honorary member of the society.
1869 Carl Heissler was the first conductor of the orchestra of the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna. 187, and 1872 was the Russian composer Anton Rubinstein artistic director of the company. After a short time he was replaced by Johannes Brahms.
Children and Youth Projects
In order to convey the joy of music and access to classical culture children and adolescents, the Friends of Music Society offers a pertinent program: In April 1989, it was the first "Celebration for Children" in all the rooms of the Musikverein building, since the offer has been steadily expanded and now includes more than 150 projects for all ages 3-19 years. The 20-year anniversary of the youth concerts was celebrated with a big party at the Vienna Musikverein in 2009. Symbol of child and youth concerts of the Society of Friends of Music is the concert clown Allegretto.
Artistic performances will be processed in accordance with the relevant age requirements paying particular attention to opportunities for active contribution. These include sing and dance along to the little ones, a gallery of children's drawings on the Internet and artist talks under the slogan "meet the artist" with internationally renowned conductors, soloists and composers for 15- to 19- year-old.
Conservatory of the Society of Music Lovers
The Conservatory was the first public music school in Vienna and was founded in 1819 by the violinist Joseph Böhm. As early as 1818, the Court Kapellmeister Antonio Salieri began to form a singing class. The general musical newspaper wrote here about 7 January 1818: "As the beginning of a newly established Conservatory imparts our worthy Hofkapellm. (chapel masteer) Salieri already to 12 girls and 12 boys gratuitous singing lessons."
On 19 April, the first 24 students of the Conservatory presented themselves in a collective concert of the Friends of Music to the public and sing an A cappella choral of Salieri. The dedication on the autograph reads: "Ringraziamento because farsi alli Benefattori del Conservatorio della musica nazionale inglese dalli primi Ventiquattro allieve dodici Ragazzi e dodici Ragazze, di detto luogo, nella quarta accademia dei dilettanti il giorno 19 Aprile 1818".
In the 19th Century, this facility has been significantly expanded, in the 1890s it had more than 1,000 students and found imitation in Vienna in other such facilities. In 1909, the private institute was to resolution of the emperor as "k.k. Academy of Music and Dramatic Art" nationalized. Thus, it is predecessor of today's University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
