Exploring this one visually 5 years later, I feel a little like Indiana Jones' intern :>) "Morehouse Highway MP Fairfield 1939 Art Deco. Concrete, cast-concrete ornament. Double span, segmental arches on piers. In cast concrete, grid of recessed lines suggests structure made of square blocks. Within squares, geometric patterning that features concentric quarter circles is concentrated on stepped, pierced parapet. Chain link fence added to parapet." from Wikipedia
Visually, few Dundonians today mourn the loss of the Overgate Development (Mark I) and the harsh Angus Hotel block, but one thing the designers did far better then than now was the hard landscaping and planting. Today the area around the City Churches seems bleak by comparison.
To today's eyes the first week of June seems a bit late for tulips and cherry blossom...I suppose that's climate change for you!
Salads are often prettier to look at than to eat to me...
I made this one while Chris' parents were in town. It was topped with grilled chicken that was bbq'd with Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wing Marinade.... (which rocks)
although both of them are visually challenged, but that does not cause any issue while playing chess and enjoying it the fullest ... they are all full of life...

I purposefully put them in out of focus... the photograph is not about an individual, not about the person in particular, but about the community as a whole... its body language, its surrounding... Place.

The most colorful and visually spectacular valley in Yellowstone, Wyoming is the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Two large waterfalls occur along this stretch of the river - the Upper Falls and the Lower Falls.
The rocks of the canyon include rhyolite lava flows, rhyolitic volcanic tuffs, and some sedimentary deposits - all are geologically young and date to the Quaternary.
Yellows, pinks, reds, and oranges are common colors in the canyon (see elsewhere in this photostream). They indicate the presence of hydrothermally altered rocks. Hydrothermal metamorphism refers to the intense alteration by superheated groundwater. Yellowstone has over 100,000 hydrothermal features in the form of hot springs, geysers, fumaroles, and mudpots.
The vertical feature shown in the picture is a narrow landslide chute. Well-developed rockslide chutes are common along the very steep walls of the canyon.

It seems visually easier to pack your items in the mailer. But the bigger challenge that you might face during this packaging process is picking the right mailer size. The factors that might make this packaging a bit challenging task are the thicker padding inside the mailer and irregular shape of the product which is to be packed.
In this scenario, it is the right way to take a step back and look at the #product dimensions. That will help you make the right decision about the size of mailer which is to be used for the packaging of your products.
Minimum mailer width
First you need to determine the width of the mailer which you are going to need. This is the measurement that will help you make sure that the mailer can accommodate the width and height (thickness) of the product without any trouble, without leaving any room for the product to move around inside the mailer. Use the following formula to determine the required minimum thickness of the lining in the #bubble #mailer.
Product Width + Product Height + Add ¼ Inch = Minimum Mailer Width
Minimum mailer length
After determining the width of the mailer that you are going to need, now you need to determine the length of the mailer. This measurement involves determining the length and height (thickness) of your product. With this information, you will be able to pick the mailer of a size that offers easy loading of the product in the mailer while making sure that the product doesn’t move inside the mailer. Following is the formula that you can use to determine the minimum length of the mailer which you are going to need for the packing of your product.
Product Length + Product Height + Product Height + Add ¼ Inch = Minimum Mailer Length
Pick the right mailer size
Based on the #measurements from above two steps, you can easily pick the mailer of right size of your product. Here, you have to make sure that the mailer is neither too small nor too big for the product that you are packing. Small sized mailer will result in the tight insertion of your product in the mailer, leading you to expose your product to the damages during shipping process. And choosing a too big mailer will result in your product moving around in the packaging, again exposing your product to the risks of damages.

Visually distilling what a family get-together can look like, for me Part 2. Canon 5D Classic + Sigma ART 35mm F1.4 EF
While being in Tioman was visually pleasing, it was on this next trip that I really had loads of fun and relaxation... not to mention that we ate like such pigs too~!
This small set's for my friend May, who's now on her way to Australia and I won't be seeing her for awhile. We went on this trip together and she had warned me that it's all about eating so there's not much photographic opportunity... or is there?
I turned the camera to what was served to us on the table instead :P
All's done pretty simply and just for the heck of it. Also to let her know that once she's in the Land Down Under, she'll not have the opportunity to eat these there :P

The library was designed by architect Waldemar Aspelin and built in 1906.
Celia – Library for the Visually Impaired has long ago moved to modern premises and this building is used to other purposes.
Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.
At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.
The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.
The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.
The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.
The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.

Andreas Gursky visually inspired exploration of the feeling of vacancy that overwhelmed me when returning home from overseas. All my friends had moved on and the landscape of home felt empty. This is an expression of the zen like non-attachment to the past that I experienced when dealing with this.

"Castlerigg Stone Circle is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain, and is the most visited stone circle in Cumbria. Every year thousands of people visit it to look, photograph, draw and wonder why and when and by whom it was built. The stone circle is on the level top of a low hill with views across to Skiddaw, Blencathra and Lonscale Fell.
There are 38 stones in a circle approximately 30 metres in diameter. Within the ring is a rectangle of a further 10 standing stones. The tallest stone is 2.3 metres high. It was probably built around 3000 BC - the beginning of the later Neolithic Period - and is one of the earliest stone circles in Britain. It is important in terms of megalithic astronomy and geometry, as the construction contains significant astronomical alignments.
Although its origins are unknown it is believed that it was used for ceremonial or religious purposes." Stolen from www.visitcumbria.com

Visually Illustrate a Oxymoron
Oxymoron: Self-Help
The Text inside the Red Cross...
"We lack the perspective to properly understand the full nature of our problems. Our ability to help ourselves will only be as good as our ability to be objective and clear about what the problem really is. We may lack the perspective to make a true and accurate decisions or judgment concerning what's going on. There are many different ways people deny or distort the truth of what is going wrong in their lives. Professional therapists and counselors provide important corrective feedback that we often might not otherwise be able to see on our own. So, since we can't fix what we don't understand, we'll be helpless to attempt to solve our own problems on our own, we may even create more of them should we attempt the self-help approach. GO GET HELP!"

In case you haven’t seen it, yet – visual.ly has set up some automated infographics based on social media data. Pick a template, pick a hashtag (or campare to people’s Twitter accounts), and visual.ly does all the work. Want to see what kind of “monster” you are? Visual.ly will build a custom infographic based on what it finds on your Facebook page.
Right now, this seems like a very limited approach to the automation of infographic data, but I think the bigger picture is that once visual.ly has enough designs and variables in their database, this solution will be amazing. No more powerpoints or custom infographics for every need?
Yes, please.
As an example, I decided to put myself up against my business partner, J.R. Cohen, in a Twitter account Showdown.
Big mistake, he kicked my butt.

Order and Chance - The Unmaking of Time
Led by artist Sarah Sparkes
Monday 5 March – Saturday 31 March 2012,
This five-session course invites you to celebrate and engage with the diverse body of works and processes developed by the Italian artist Alighiero e Boetti. His extensive artistic practice is unique in the choice of materials, techniques and artistic strategies that he developed over the three decades of his professional life.
Time – its construction and de-construction – appeared as a recurring theme for Boetti. He was interested in the relationship between the conception of an idea and its execution, often directing others to make his artworks. Boetti considered everything in the world of potential use to the artist. The ephemera of the everyday were media through which he could explore his interest in the opposing relationship between order and chance, the individual and society, error and perfection.
Inspired by Boetti’s practice, this course is an opportunity to investigate and practically engage with the methods of working collaboratively and individually to create both intimate and large-scale works. Using everyday, easily accessible ephemera such as postcards, calendars, magazines, diaries, graph paper, maps and charts, we explore the representation of time and other systems of order and how to visually ‘unmake’ them.
This five-session course will conclude with a small exhibition of work on Saturday 31 March 2012, 16.00–17.00 in the Level 7 East Room at Tate Modern, open to friends and family.

Visually exquisite, the Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church was built by Henry Flagler in 1889. It is one of his most significant projects, because it was constructed as a memorial to Flagler’s only daughter, Jenny. The mausoleum adjacent to the church is where Flagler, his daughter, granddaughter and first wife are buried. At first sight, many are awed by the church's grand Venetian Renaissance-style architecture. Inside and out, every detail was attended to and as is evident, money was no object at the time of its design. Flagler’s masterpiece features hand-carved Santo Domino mahogany, detailed terra cotta frieze work by Italian artists and a massive copper dome. Tours of the church are available daily and offer guests a personal look at this touching memorial and historic site.
Perhaps the most visually stunning aspect of the exhibit, the Glass House was conceptualized by Chihuly and executed by local architecture firm Owen Richards (which also designed McCaw Hall and Seattle International Film Festival’s new headquarters at Seattle Center). Resembling a glass chapel at the foot of the Space Needle.
"There are four materials I work with: glass, plastic, water and ice. Those are really the only transparent materials of any scale. Polyvitro is the name that I coined for a type of polymer we created. I’ve done several projects casting resins or polymer for site-specific projects and hope to explore new ways of using it, ways nobody else would think of. The Polyvitro doesn’t replicate what I can do in glass. It’s a totally different material, and it has enabled me to create artwork on a whole new scale and level. One reason I use it is because it weighs much less than glass. Once again, it depends on the size, scale, and location of the work, whether it be an indoor or outdoor public installation.
Dale Chihuly in a June, 2003 interview by Charles K. Steiner, director of the Wichita Art Museum
