Diving in a flooded Mine in Willingen, Germany. The Mine is left as if the workers left it yesterday, with shoes and bottles still around. Here, my Dive-Buddy Kai enters and old Room.

Grandma Diane & Grandpa John's birthday present for Liana was a whiteboard for her room. It's been seeing a fair amount of use. Here, Liana contemplates the crazy swirl patterns she & C. made before bedtime a few nights ago.
So, I take a day off of work to take my wife for laser eye surgery and I come back to find my whiteboard violated once again. The last time I took time off, there was a picture of a ham on fire. It was a joke from the song, "Paint me a Birmingham". Carl, one of my work acquaintances, is a master of twisting lyrics of songs. We now sing "Paint me a burning ham".
But, I took up golf last spring and I guess I'm obsessed with it. I like Phil Mickelson. However, Phil does not exude an athletic physique. So, I get picked on for my choice in golf champion. lol
A number of my golf magazines were mutilated I hear for this collage.
just testing my new camera.
Olympus PEN E-P1 Micro Four Thirds

This is where we brainstorm out large projects. Typically when we have a client in from out of town they take residence in this room and meet with our team members one at a time until all the details are worked out.
Three original business documents, issued by the Jaffa & Jerusalem Railway between 1892 and 1914 and carrying various Turkish-Ottoman stamps, dealing with the transport of passengers (probably Russian pilgrims) aboard several chartered trains from the Port of Jaffa, near Tel Aviv, to the city of Jerusalem.

A twins lens reflex "street"camera (TLR) is an eccentric thing. It presents to the world its single vulnerability, that it has two separate eyes with two separate functions. Another oddity about it is the way that it sees the world, as a perfect square.
One could also feel upon first seeing this thing, that it is actually taking not one but two pictures of you, a daunting idea. Of course, following this line of reasoning, the antique multiplying camera of a century ago would make any photographic subject numb with confusion.
The doubled idea: two eyes, two lenses, two participants (a photographer and his camera), two lovers and twin souls prevails here.
The English Aptus is the camera that appears in my imagination for this design, for unexplainable reasons.
The Aptus was successful and efficient for its time. It deservedly became a workhorse. It was also extremely plain, even more than the infamous Fotron. That is what inspired me to deeply upgrade it.
My design alters the Aptus to become two towers, reminiscent of a twins lens reflex, and a walkway that connects them. The camera has a double bellows, of fixed length: a modern one with glass and greenery, the other a traditional one lined with an interior leather and a cool clay exterior shell. The Dark Tower has a chute in the back for a the plates to drop down to the developing tank disguised as, and underneath a shared walkway. The clear tower and its bellows extends out to the street, so the journey for the public is from the darkness to a more natural, open yet enclosed surrounding and then onto the outside street). This Valentine's Day "Street" Camera kit comes with figures of pets and children to place along the street recalling an unconventional Shanghai "Longtang" or communal alley.
The exterior graphic for this camera was adapted from a lovely embroidered painting of the artist Keiko Minami. I developed the camera interior and the main design theme from a single (yet crucial) line in her painting which poetically suggested a shared plinth and a shared bearing wall.

Children love small spaces. And these interiors have their own poetics.
This treehouse has two separate volumes, an acoustical one and the other a living space. The ocarina, which my kids just call Rina, is very rooted in the earth; it's usually made of clay and since its earliest history has been made into the shape of small animals. Other intimate musical instruments, played for oneself rather than for an audience, usually have some sort of indirect quality in emitting sound. Examples are the Chinese Guqin, the European viols and the clavichord. These musical instruments tend to indicate to us to go within ourselves. This Pooh house emits music not from the front door or its single window but from well within.
A carved and polished Jerusalem Olive tree is used for this structure. The polish gives the gnarly look a feel of an old musical instrument, and also is reminiscent of Chinese tea ceremony tables. For this reason the foliage is not accurate but is figured, in motif form. It is a triple-octave ocarina with prominent holes that hide within the form of the Jerusalem Olive tree. One of the boughs forms an obvious mouthpiece. The inner volume containing the living space reduces the volume of the actual instrument, thus making it easier to play; it is not a bass instrument although large band ocarinas were very expensive in Europe. The other sizes ranging down are all contained in Pooh's living room, in the shape of honeypots although one of the instruments is a clear glass bottle shape with a (glass) note inside.
I think the initial tuning of this instrument as it is made, like the design for its interior lighting, will be an amusing little challenge. The contrast of bright sounds of the smaller honeypot ocarinas and the muted grumble of the eeyore-like tree would make a rather whimsical ensemble which only children may appreciate.
This design is dedicated to my twins who love their Pooh, and who just celebrated their second birthday a few days ago. Aptly, the design is tied to the book, "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day", whose joyous finale ends with a 'two-hero' party instead of a one hero party.
Everyday (so far) has been like Christmas spending life with my little heroes.
Note the patina and ground for this drawing, from the kids, only adds to the value.
Please also view my somewhat related design (No. 145) dedicated to the author P.G. Wodehouse, who is rather infamously tied to A.A. Milne.

Gäste der Wewelsburg können […] die Dauerausstellung „Ideologie und Terror der SS“ kennenlernen. Während des Rundgangs stoßen sie dabei auf ein Notizbuch mit historischer Bedeutung: Heinrich Himmlers privater Taschenkalender mit persönlichen Einträgen, die er 1940 schrieb. Dieser Taschenkalender ist eines der wichtigsten Exponate der gesamten Ausstellung. Seine Echtheit ist vom Bundesarchiv in Koblenz überprüft worden.
[…] Der Rundgang führt durch die historischen Räume im ehemaligen Wachgebäude, in denen die Ausstellung die lokale Geschichte der SS in Wewelsburg und des Konzentrationslagers Wewelsburg in eine umfangreiche Gesamtdarstellung der Schutzstaffel einbettet. […]
In den Blick genommen werden auch die Hauptakteure der SS. Ihr „Reichsführer“ Heinrich Himmler zählte zu den einflussreichsten Personen des nationalsozialistischen Regimes. Seine verschiedene Termin- und Dienstkalender bezeugen eine rege, geradezu rastlose Reisetätigkeit, welche in den Kriegsjahren stark zunahm. Die Wewelsburg besuchte Himmler mindestens 25 Mal. Stets hielt er sich nur für wenige Tage dort auf. Des Öfteren empfing er bei dieser Gelegenheit Gäste. Meist waren es hohe SS-Führer oder Personen, die für die Organisation von großem Nutzen waren. Zu ihnen zählte auch Hitlers Architekt Albert Speer, der im März 1940 die Wewelsburg besuchte. Auffällig im Kalender sind rote Zahlen, die Himmler mit Buntstift eintrug: Sie kennzeichnen die Tage seit Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Für Heinrich Himmler markierte der 1. September 1939 den Beginn einer neuen Zeitrechnung. Für ihn war der Krieg das geeignete und legitime Mittel, um die rassistisch begründeten machtpolitischen Ziele und Visionen der SS zu verwirklichen.

A little poem:
A sailboat in the moonlight and you
Wouldn't that be heaven
A heaven just for two
A soft breeze on a June nite and you
What a perfect setting for letting dreams come true
A chance to sail away to sweetheart bay
Beneath the stars that shine a chance to drift.
for you to lift your tender lips to mine
The things dear that I long for are few
Just give me a sail boat in the moonlight
and you
