This was my dad's ring.
Shot in a 'mac mini' lightbox. What's a mac mini lightbox? We got a few dozen mac minis at work (they look like hot plates or coffee cup warmers) and I stacked some of those pieces up and placed the ring(s) inside and strobes outside and pop my lens in a hole on the top at an angle.
50mm 1.4 Nikon lens with extention tube.
strobist: SB800 to left outside box and and an SB800 underneath box. Both fired with ebay triggers.
500th sec at f22 various power settings on the strobes. Both around 1/16th power.
Cleaned up the dust in Photoshop.

The Mill Valley City Council meeting held a public meeting on August 7, 2017, which focused on an Affordable Housing ordinance they proposed to pass on that day, after years of work. The ordinance would trigger an affordable housing fee to apply to all new housing projects and remodels costing $100,000 or more. The fee would equal 1 percent of the project’s construction cost, and take effect Nov. 1, 2018.
I came at the invitation of Dennis Klein, who chairs a local committee on affordable housing and is a member of the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), our grassroots political action group. Four of us spoke for a couple minutes each to invite the council to consider a broader initiative on affordable housing than just the ordinance they were about to pass.
Dennis made a convincing case why the current ordinance doesn’t go far enough and could cause tensions and confusion in its current form. In my own comment, I applauded the council’s efforts to address affordable housing, which may be one of the most critical issues in our region, as it exacerbates many other cultural, economic, environmental and social problems we face. With that in mind, I suggested that the current ordinance, while well-intentioned, seemed like a ‘band-aid’ for a much deeper problem. I encouraged the council to think bigger, do more long-term planning and involve our community more in a search for solutions to address this difficult challenge.
Several other speakers echoed those concerns in their public comments as well, also using the term ‘band-aid’ to characterize this initiative. A leader of Habitat for Humanity went further, saying this ordinance seemed seriously inadequate to address the problem, based in his own experience. Another person suggested a sales tax on all home sales to fund affordable housing, instead of taxing new development, an idea which was well-received.
Even though the council stuck to its plan and passed the ordinance anyway, I am glad that people had a chance to shared their thoughtful comments. Some of these comments might not have been voiced if it weren’t for some fine organizing work by Dennis, who invited many of us to speak up about this initiative.
We all agree that affordable housing is a serious issue in our area, even if we diverge on the most effective way to address it effectively. Mayor Jessica Sloan said they would organize a Workforce Housing Summit to engage the community in the planning process. That sounds like a good idea to me. We have a lot of experienced talent in Mill Valley that could be brought into this discussion. Together, we could explore out-of-the-box solutions to this complex issue. For example, I offered to help visualize these solutions through videos, scenario planning, simulations and/or model building exercises -- which I have successfully used for collaborative problem-solving at Apple, Wikipedia and other orgs over the years. Time will tell whether we can join forces to figure out a more comprehensive plan to this tough challenge.
We will keep asking the city of Mill Valley to keep working hard on this issue, beyond that ordinance. I hope that they will partner with other governmental and nonprofit organizations in Marin County and beyond to address this complex issue more effectively.
The Independent Journal covered that meeting and I found their report to be generally accurate, fair and well-written: www.marinij.com/general-news/20170808/mill-valleys-afford...

I've been watching over some tutorials by Photographer/PS Artist Calvin Hollywood, so I wanted to kinda give my own try to that illustrated kinda grungy look. I'm pleased with this shot for the most part. School has been ridiculously busy lately, so I've not been able to do as much with this project as I would like at the moment. But that will pass :) Hope everyone else has been doing well!

Comments? Crit?
These are the "eBay triggers" we used in the experiment. They were purchased on eBay for somewhere around $50 and were more than adaquate for this amateur photographer. The package came with one transmitter and three receivers.
Purchased an inexpensive (about $9, delivered) adaptor for the Sony hotshoe "iISO" mount to a standard hotshoe mount. The bottom half of this will be the base of my new micro LED-based flash circuit for fiberoptic triggering of strobes outside the housing.

In a ground-breaking humanitarian action triggered by a forecast of flood risk, the Uganda Red Cross (URCS) distributed just under 5,000 preparedness items to communities in Kapelebyong sub-county, some 300 km north-east of the capital, Kampala, in November 2015. The non-food items (NFI) were procured under ‘forecast-based financing’ with the support of the German government through the German Red Cross. The URCS mobilized the supplies as soon as a predetermined threshold of forecast risk was crossed a day ahead of the operation. “One of the disaster effects we are targeting is waterborne disease,” said Irene Amuron, URCS Disaster Risk Reduction Manager, who led the operation. Local Acting Chief Administration Officer Paul Edotu had indicated that dysentery existed in the area, and the authorities were anxious to prevent it. Amuron added: “The teams have distributed two jerrycans, two bars of soap, and a month’s supply of water purification tablets to 370 households in the villages of Okoboi, Omatai, Apedu and Akulonyo,” all initially trucked from Kampala. “The Uganda Red Cross are immediate responders in times of disaster,” said URCS Secretary General Robert Kwesiga. “By using forecasts in we are now intervening even earlier, before receiving reports of disasters. With such a timely disbursal, we hope to avoid potential catastrophe before it even happens, supporting people to continue working and going to school.” (Photo: Denis Onyodi/URCS-Climate Centre)
