This is how they used to build offices centuries ago. What a place! It used to be the office of a nearby steel factory.
Looks like it has been abandoned for some time. Have no info about it’s history unfortunately.

The workhorse of the WIPP transportation system, the TRUPACT-II, was the first package used to ship non-remotely handled, or contact-handled, TRU waste to WIPP in 1999. The TRUPACT-II is constructed with inner and outer containment vessels. It measures 2.4m (8ft) in diameter by 3m (10ft) high and holds up to fourteen 55-gallon drums, six 100-gallon drums, two standard waste boxes, or one 10-drum over-pack. The TRUPACT-II’s closure configuration, used for both the inner and outer containment vessels, was designed to facilitate the large number of shipments that would be made to WIPP, along with minimizing package weight. The overall design also maximizes payload weight capacity. Up to three TRUPACT-IIs are shipped at a time on a single trailer. Shipments are kept within highway legal weight limits of 35.7t (80,000 lbs).
The smaller HalfPACTs, certified in 2000, are more efficient when transporting more densely configured contact-handled TRU waste. A HalfPACT measures 2.4m (8ft) in diameter by 2.3m (7.5ft) high and holds up to seven 55-gallon drums, four 85-gallon drums, three 100-gallon drums, or one standard waste box. For weight management purposes, a typical shipping configuration consists of two TRUPACT-IIs and one HalfPACT.

A shot I have taken before using my digital camera setup, but I like the effect of the film just as much. The camera used is a Nikon N2000 manual focus camera with a 50mm f/1.4 lens. I used some Fuji ISO 400 Black and While film that I had processed and then I scanned it digitally using a 48 bit color scanner to preserve the quality. I usually throw out the color part but the film color itself has left a lovely sepia color that worked well with this image. I located the shot using a tripod near a beam of light coming through the blinds.
The guitar is a Samick acoustic that I stopped a girl from cramming into her overflowing trashcan. I was bewildered that someone would not want even a marginal guitar to travel with or leave around to play. I admit it took some work to repair the tuning parts but I went to a place and bought the parts cheaply and fixed it the next day. After stringing it and covering a small hole in the side with a Seabright Brewery sticker, it was ready to go and I had a working acoustic, plus I kept it from going to the landfill. I really wish people would donate stuff more or better, post to free stuff on craigslist.

Just a little ad for Kodak 35mm film on the inside of my original Kodak 35 RF rangefinder camera. It says:
"Use Kodak 135 Film," and on the box pictured below you can clearly see the film in question is Panatomic-X. I don't believe I ever got to use that type of film. But, it was made in Rochester, New York by the Eastman Kodak Co. Try some today!
I remember seeing this little advertisement every time I used my first Kodak 35, which was quite a lot for the first couple years I had it.

This is a shot I took around 1973 of my dad and my daughter using the 4x5 Speed Graphic I used to own. Since I have the Epson V600, I had to scan this in two passes and merge in PS. This is the full frame image. I believe I shot this hand held.
Used an N8 neutral density filter for a minute long exposure to get the water to blur. This caused the bridge to come out a little blurry but Pier 17 came out clear enough to give some sense of the size of the Brooklyn Bridge. Overall I'm pleased with the way this turned out.
Probably could have used a weaker filter and gotten the same effect but live and learn.
Used as the illustration to the poem, "Lovelorn Poet in Brooklyn, NY:

I used to be an unbeliever, but nothing - nothing - beats the joy of a classic Leica, slow film and glorious light :)
This turned out to be a 1-day course on "digital photography for beginners" run by Wells Library. When I see this sort of thing I invariably start wondering about photography - and recalling those hilarious 1950s pictures of camera clubs and cheesecake models. My particular favourite illustrates an item on "The Butlin's Photographic Club" in an ancient "Amateur Photographer": Three sweating youths with Ensign box cameras ignore the 8-foot minimum focus to snap the lovely Sharon from a blurry 18 inches. Anyway, the idea of photography being taught here is essentially the same - to take pictures which look like pictures of a sweet little girl in a whimsical hat.
But is that what it's all about? I feel that photography is in a similar situation to painting in the late 19th century. The emergence of digital has revived the myth that photographs depict objective reality, provoking an equally dubious reaction in the form of massive over-manipulation. Both seem to me to reject the expression of inner vision in favour of formalism and an increasing aesthetic uniformity. We might as well be back in 1850 with a choice between artless verity or quasi-illustrations.... but that's just me.... :)
EDIT (2011): Does this picture look too dark :( ? Please look here :)

I Powerman 5000 nascono a Boston nel 1991, basati sull'Alternative metal, l'Industrial metal e il Punk rock. Il leader Spider One (Michael Cummings) è il fratello minore di Rob Zombie, per cui apodo il concerto all’Alcatraz.
I Powerman 5000 nascono a Boston in Massachusetts, dove il gruppo proponeva molti spettacoli e ha prodotto due CD, nel 1994 True Force e nel 1995 The Blood Slpat Rating System. Con un lavoro senza rivali e un grande supporto dei fan la band iniziò a dominare nelle scene rock di Boston, così facendo, arrivarono anche molte proposte di etichetta importanti. Il 1997 fu un grande anno per Spider e i compagni; si registrarono alla DreamWorks Records con la quale fecero debuttare il loro primo album, Mega!! Kung Fu Radio. Un anno di tour con Marilyn Manson, seguiti dai Korn e Ozzfest, dando loro una fama nazionale e aumentando di gran numero i loro fan. Il loro album pubblicato nel 1999 Tonight The Stars Revolt! contiene hits come When Worlds Collide e Nobody's Real che fecero vendere più di un milione di copie. Anyone For Doomsday? è l'album registrato nel 2001 e la sua pubblicazione è stata rimandata di settimane. Quando le acque si furono calmate, i Powerman emersero con una nuova formazione e un nuovo album. Nel 2003 la band cambiò molto: mise da parte gli elementi elettronici e sperimentarono un nuovo suono Punk Rock che è ispirato a quello dei Clash. L'album entrò nelle classifiche americane debuttando al posto numero 25 e arrivando nelle migliori 10 canzoni rock con Free. Dopo poco tempo, si staccarono dalla DreamWorks, proprio a causa di questa trasformazione. Ecco che nel 2006 esce il nuovo album Destroy What You Enjoy è una fusione di Punk Rock e Rock che si rifà ai Sex Pistols e ai T. Rex, Così i Powerman 5000 hanno distrutto ogni aspettativa sorprendendo chiunque. In questo album da notare le hits come Now That's Rock 'n Roll, Wild World e Murder. La canzone Relax dei Powerman 5000 è stata introdotta nel film Zoolander.

East window of the north chapel by Margaret Aldrich Rope 1933, a more refined version of the subjects and composition she used for her much bolder east window at St John's in Coventry. For more on the artist see the below website:-

Hereford's most impressive church after its cathedral is the parish church of All Saint's, a grand 13th/14th century building with a tapering north west steeple, the tallest structure in the city since the cathedral's wooden spire was removed in the 17th century.
All Saints rewards the visitor with its internal fittings, principally the superb 14th century canopied choir stalls (a range of five on each side of the chancel) complete with finely carved and amusing misericords (further examples can be found in the north chapel).
There is further impressive woodwork from the 17th century in the pulpit and the large reredos in the south chapel (probably moved here from the main altar). The east wall of the chancel also bears a faded medieval mural of the Virgin Mary, apparently part of an Annunciation scene.
The church also boasts a fine set of six stained glass windows by the noted late Arts & Crafts artist Margaret Aldrich Rope dating from the 1930s onwards, including the main east windows of the chancel and chapels.
The church is one of the most accessible of city churches since it was part converted in the late 20th century to community use with a cafe at the west end of the nave with space for craft stalls in the south chapel. The fayre is good and means a wider range of people experience the beauty within the building than would in a normal city church, consequently All Saints is never short of visitors.

This is a 3D model of the first surgery that involved anesthesia, the patients name was James Venable, James had a cysts on the back of his neck. This was actually not uncommon, as we have sebaceous glands on the back of our necks, and the personal hygiene at this time was probably not the best. However, James had been putting off the cysts removal because, like so many others, he wished to put off the pain of surgery as long as he could. Dr. long convinced James that he could do the surgery without pain. On march 30, 1842 Dr. Long preformed the surgery using ether as anesthesia, the surgery turned out to be such a success, that James did not believe this to be true. This was a true medical breakthrough and the first truly American medical discovery. In Europe, the anesthesia in use was chloroform, which was actually quite dangerous. Dr. long was also fortunate in the timing of his discovery. Taking place during the romantic period, people were much more likely to accept new ideas. This experience with ether was not published until December, 1849, as a result of the controversy over W. T. G. Morton's claim to priority in its discovery. At that time Dr. Long described his first five operations using ether in a paper in the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal under the title "An Account of the First Use of Sulphuric Ether by Inhalation as an Anesthetic in Surgical Operations."

Tra la moltitudine di città interessate da questo nuovo percorso fotografico,emerge un prezioso itinerario che collega le diverse città in cui Guglielmo Marconi ha vissuto la sua vita.
Un nuovo viaggio fotografico, tra cui immagini che rendono omaggio al grande inventore italiano Guglielmo Marconi, padre della radio e Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1909. Bolognese di nascita, Marconi passò molto del suo tempo nella sua casa di Cattolica. Chissà cosa penserebbe oggi, affacciato alla finestra di Villa Marconi, delle persone in spiaggia collegate a internet con computer e cellulari wireless, persone in contatto con il mondo ventiquattro ore al giorno. Su quella stessa spiaggia dove lui ha passeggiato e guardato il mare immerso nei suoi pensieri e nei suoi esperimenti. Forse tutta questa comunicazione l’avrebbe fatto sorridere, lui che fu il padre della comunicazione con telegrafia senza fili. Di una cosa però siamo sicuri, sicuramente affacciato alla finestra della sua camera, avrebbe rivolto lo sguardo all’Adriatico e avrebbe atteso uno di quei meravigliosi tramonti di Cattolica, in cui il sole diventa una palla di fuoco che scompare lentamente all’orizzonte. Uno spettacolo di colori che soltanto Lei può regalare. Attimi, si prefigge l’obiettivo di raccontare attraverso un percorso di immagini e racconti, il legame che la città romagnola conserva con il suo illustre personaggio. testo di Alessandra Fabri

Regione Emilia Romagna Il Presidente
Con questo nuovo libro fotografico prosegue il progetto “Amando Cattolica” e con la VI Edizione, dal titolo “Attimi, EMOZIONI NEL TEMPO INFINITO…sulle tracce di Guglielmo Marconi”, Antonio Barbieri è , ancora una volta, riuscito a catturare, nelle sue fotografie, l’anima più intima di Cattolica e dei paesaggi vicini.
L’attaccamento alla propria terra, la passione e la sensibilità artistica sono evidenziate in queste immagini che mostrano con chiarezza la trasformazione nel tempo di questo territorio, facendone riaffiorare con emozioni intese l’essenza più vera.
L’obiettivo dell’artista si allarga su scorci suggestivi di altre città italiane, cogliendone particolari che ben delineano la ricchezza artistica, culturale architettonica della nostra Italia.
Il mio particolare apprezzamento va ancora una volta rivolto a questo lavoro, alla dedizione particolare e scrupolosa con cui Antonio Barbieri ha saputo mostrate la genuinità e la semplicità di un territorio in continua evoluzione ma sempre attento a rinnovare la propria cultura dell’accoglienza.

Using an Aviary editing effect to darken the background and adding a thin white frame to balance the photograph and complement the white lower half of the flower as well.
I thought I got there too late. My feet were placed squarely on the blacktop parking lot at one of my favorite soul places, a space I have been to recently but haven’t been to, ever, to simply be and write.
Sam and I used to come here during his home school day to collect wood and explore and we still come here so he can ride on the tire swing and we can throw rocks into the river. We have explored the area fully and know it pretty well from those moments, but I wanted to come to know this place intimately by connecting to it quietly, with my body connected to its body, my soul connected mindfully to its center.
The autumn-colored leaves I would kick away from the foot path were long gone, returned to the Earth. Their crunchy selves had surrendered completely and I had missed that process.
Then I stepped into a spot off the path, by a small stream to sit and write and I realized I hadn’t missed the process at all. I stepped onto what looked like Earth and instead, I was stepping into a pile of leaves that was choosing to merge with the soil. My choice to take a moment or two or sixty to be in a space of quiet soulfulness was graciously allowing me to become a part of the process, too.
I discovered how deeply they had piled themselves up, creating a soft sofa and pillows just for me so that I could sit upon them and experience them, their luscious returning-to-dirt-scent. They seemed to giggle as I sat down with my paper and pink notepaper and trusty black mirado warrior and started to move it, contentedly, along the page.
In that moment it was as if the leaves hugged me, welcoming my reality to rise up and meet my longing, leftover from months ago when I was in a time of profound sadness, a time when I wasn’t able to settle into their crackly, crisp newly fallen selves. Instead, I got to sit upon their softened not quite moist selves.
It was then that I heard the unsurrendered leaves, the ones still on the trees that pushed against one another, applauding my return. It is like those leaves held on, bravely, past their amber-golden time to their withered crusty selves so I could hear my message.
Divinity says, “Be with me. Trust. Follow my lead. Don’t try so hard, but do know the strategy that works best, beloved one.”
I felt an exclamation point rise up as two trucks rumbled past and the wind blew and suddenly I was aware that my stomach was telling me of its hunger.
The exclamation was part celebration as I heard the words “Beloved one!” and knew Divinity meant me.
I sat, still, for a moment, just being with the leaves and the trees and the water. I heard a frog singing her song. I smiled in gratitude.
I wrote:
Sometimes surrender comes quickly and sometimes the holding on, like the crusty withered leaves held on, is the surrender. It is in the unknowing of whether or not its right or wrong and being ok with it no matter which way the judgment or comparison lands that holds the power of truth.
Today, do I go deeper? I asked. Do I go further on the path, closer to the larger parts of the river, or did I get what I was supposed to get here, on my leaves-turning-to-dirt sofa.
I smelled the leaves below me, supporting me. I heard the wind play my ears like a drum and the grass and leaves pirouetting and doing a grande jete or many grande jetes. I watched a plane use the air as a mattress. A man with a grey covered hood covering his head and speckled deck shoes covering his feet walked silently behind my surrendered leaf throne.
SUVs and pick up trucks a stone’s throw away rumbled past, separated by steel from all this wonder right here, oh so close.
Did any of the drivers or passengers capture the bright pink of my shirt out of the corner of their eye, strikingly out of context in this place I sat, deeply entrenched in awe?
It doesn’t matter whether they do or do not, but I prayed for each of them anyway.
I realized then that although I hadn’t gone deeper on the path, I had gone deeper.
My heart was swollen with joy.
I wasn’t too late. I was right on time.
