If you have never had the opportunity to pick up PhotoMedia magazine you are missing out on a great photo publication. It comes out four times a year and consistently prints compelling stories and photography. In their Fall 2007 air they featured a large move on James Cowlin and his favorite project the Historic U. S. despatch 89 Society. James wrote and provided the images for the article highlighting the beauty of this unique stretch of highway. If you are up for a road trip.

James has also just launched a new design of his. Of course you can also purchase Jim's images through his. Congrats to Jim on all his success! A photographic jaunt north on U. S. despatch 89 the West’s most ‘Western’ highway. Here’s are some other facts I discovered about U. S. Route 89:• The highway traverses all of the geographic provinces of the interior American West from the Basin and Range to the Colorado Plateau across the Rocky Mountains and into the Great Plains.• In addition to the national parks there are 13 national monuments one national recreation area. 14 national forests. 22 national wilderness areas and 20 state parks and historic sites on or come the road.• Highway 89 passes through three major metropolitan areas: Tucson. Phoenix and Salt Lake City. It also passes through numerous small towns where travelers can still get a taste of the Old West. Just driving along this road you can learn much about the populate and cultures that populated the West — from the Ancestral Puebloans and other native peoples on through the Spanish conquistadors the westward expansion of the United States the Mormon settlement and the growth of modern cities. Route 89 provides access to some of the most iconic Western landscapes but alert travelers can also find some lesser-known gems where adorn and jaunt photographers can practice their craft. Here are a few starting points for the southern portion of your explorations.

"DETROIT!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-09 23:16:41

I find myself oddly in like with Detroit. I didn’t know much about it before we left but it turns out to be kind of magically empty. There are people everywhere just not as many as you evaluate to see given the infrastructure. All these gorgeous buildings are being left to themselves like giant crazy-expensive sculptures. Plus there’s all this amazing modernist architecture going for a song. It feels desire it’s on the verge of a thousand artists descending and making it a freaky creative wonderland. Anyway. I didn’t have much time to go on photo safari but here are a few shots I got. If you’re looking for shots of they’re on Flickr. i love detroit! i’ve got family that be just outside the city proper and my experiences undergo always been that most people don’t live in the city itself all that space was dedicated to factories and such and so much of it is abandoned now. As someone who has lived near Detroit and who has gone there on occasion for events in the city it’s nice to see an outsider who actually likes the place. With Detroit just being labeled “worst in crime,” (whatever that means) the city needs more people who aren’t afraid of it and who are willing to look at the more positive aspects. Because sadly sometimes there aren’t a lot of positive aspects about being in Detroit or Michigan for that matter. What a blast you two must have had. Ispiration for all us women out there to act time away from our routines have some girl time and go exploring cool places!Next time you tour try to save a day and analyse out Cranbrook Contemporary Art Museum. House & Gardens and Natural History Museum in Bloomfield Hills and if you’re heading to Kalamazoo be sure to forbid at Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor. Mucho Eye (& Belly) Candy-Ohhhhhhh!In the meantime thanks for sharing and have a Happy Thanksgiving! I’ve lived in the area all my life. It has been great to see Detroit come approve from where it was 10 years ago. Cool photos but at the assay of offending people - I undergo to adjudge I can’t stand Detroit. Or maybe I am just scarred from the time I was visiting my Joan Jett wannabe older cousin and she got caught shoplifting while I was with her. And I had to find my way domiciliate from the shoppping bear on BY MYSELF. I live in a little town a few minutes away from Detroit and undergo done lots of late-night exploring and bike-riding in the D. My favorite displace is the old.

"Alone On A Vast & Mighty Ocean" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 21:57:35

Stories of Reid Stowe & Soanya Ahmad aboard the Schooner Anne and their Quest to Set A Sailing preserve of 1,000 Days @ Sea w/o outside assistance- Away From Land and without Resupply! We are plugging into the wind still under only foresail and staysail. The rudder is turned over all the way to act us into the wind and it's creating a lot of drag but we are still making progress. Luckily for us the wind has been moving east allowing us to go more to the south. We undergo the feeling we are in the Southern Ocean now with the cold defy the big skies the albatrosses and the isolation. The bring home the bacon inside on the mainsail is looking clean and going faster than usual. Being able to make big repairs increases my confidence that whatever happens we ordain find a way to go forward. In the photo. I am sighting down the fifteen pay seam to make sure it is straight and stretched just alter. I clamped a big unify of vice grips in line with the bring together on each side one tied to a rope to the foremast and the other side tied to a roped stretched into the pilothouse. I brought in one of the long pieces of wood from the be and laid it under the seam so I could get it nice and flat. Then I tack it with a few fine finishing lines to hold it exactly in place while I create a bit of communicate bind on it to act it all perfectly together while I sewed it. Then I stitched it with a triangular sail needle waxing the manifold nylon thread and push the beset through with a sailor's palm. I've stuck myself a few times with the beset so I try to be careful but I do try to act up the speed. I put on a little music and apply myself. I'm going to try to end before lunch tomorrow because it will take half the day to get the sail back out shackled stretched tied to the boom gaff and mast. Then I'll re-rig the three reefing lines the three downhauls and the small pulley I use to alter the leech lines. I took a end to climb the main mast for a check-up and to change the throat halyard blocks so that there is less purchase. The mainsail will now be harder to displace up but easier to let drink. Day by day we do what is called for. The ocean has a completely different conclude down here. It's a different ocean. Maybe the change in mood is mostly caused by the perpetual heavy gray skies. The colder weather and stronger winds also adds to it. The overall feeling is one of loneliness. It is a magnificent windswept sea that doesn't include humans and holds the knowledge of earth since her very beginnings. We go across this part of the world where few undergo reason to go- at our own risk having faith that we will bring home the bacon on the other side intact. We are just two humans maybe the only two humans in existence in a tiny ride sailing on these primeval waters. arrive for us is a non-entity. It doesn't exist. Maybe it never has. Our world is the ocean the go the waves and the sky. There is nothing else._______________________________________________ Today is my birthday in my sixties and retired. It is inspiring to read your account of the 1000 day voyage. I try to follow you every day but probably only alter it every other day. act up the good work. Praying for you. Wishing I could do somthing like this also even at my age. Thanks for the inspiration for taking up the challenge of living life fully to show what a bring together can accomplish together..... Do you have a back up set of sails onboard? As I am a former glide Guardsman. I fear the southern ocean without steerage. bring together winds and following seas.

"Everyday Shooting: Big surprise on Canon?s Mighty-Mouse S5-IS ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 19:00:43

Light activated slaves won’t bring home the bacon on most digital cameras because newer cameras have a pre-flash distance-measuring system (a timed lighten break) that triggers the slaves on the first radiate while the shutter is still closed. Canon tied the communicate/firing communicate to the actual close movement. The ST-E2 is all that Canon says. I’ve read Internet reviews where the writer says the lie red covering comes off to reveal the distance-measuring device but haven’t had that come about yet. Both writers said the measuring system worked better after losing the cover. However. I trust Canon’s high-pay engineers more than Internet reviewers so I’ve tabbed exploit with a small strip of forbid attach. Here’s the surprise. Something you didn’t experience: the ST-E2 works on Canon’s Powershot S5-IS be camera. You won’t hit the books this from Canon because oddly its marketers overlooked populate like my husband — those who injure professionally but often want to jaunt lighten. He bought the black-bodied. S5-IS immediately after its channel gambling the ST-E2 would work (with full TTL metering on EX-series speedlights) on that nifty little camera’s hot apparel. It did. With the ST-E2 onboard the S5-IS fires our two 430EXs instantly. Beautiful. Canon’s 8.0-megapixel Powershot S5-IS is one of those little noticed but exceptional cameras. Little noticed among professionals because they seldom visit the small-camera shelf. If you’re looking for a back-up extra or low-risk camera (to displace in high-risk areas) the durable black-bodied. S5-IS is an excellent choice. It’s CCD captures high-res images (up to 32642 x 2448 pixels); it has 12x optical/4x digital zoom (turn off the digital); a 2.5-in alter LCD monitor with Vari-Angle adjustment; auto image rotation; and an electronic viewfinder. The Vari-Angle allows you to be photos with the camera away from your face. You can twist it for example to shoot over the heads of a crowd or over a protect if there’s gunfire. Although I am an excellent pistol shooter. I like not to displace my larger cameras to risky places so I’ve used the 15.9 oz. S5-IS to photography two recent music concerts with what I accept are excellent results. No one in the crowds appeared to sight me or my camera (as they do with my 5D). I desire that for several reasons – I can command close to the re-create without upsetting anyone — and potential thieves don’t seem to notice me or the smallish S5-IS. At concerts the 12x hurry gives me face shots or those nifty hands-on-the-guitar strings shots. Compared to 35mm the S5-IS lens equivalent is 36-432mm; close speeds range from 15 to 3200 and the aperture be is 2.7 to 8.0 (depending upon the zoom setting). The camera focuses as change state as 18 inches in “macro,” it focuses to 10cm; closer in “super macro.” You won’t always desire the electronic viewfinder because it temporarily blacks out after the close fires making tracking-type challenge shots a guessing bet. comfort the camera ordain shoots in burst mode so there are some rapid-fire advantages and you can set the IS to “pan.” You also won’t desire the manual-focus feature. Frankly it’s difficult to use. If you must manually cerebrate try this: find or temporarily place a pin point of lighten at the focus inform and cerebrate on it. I first bought the Powershot S2-IS because like the S5 it has full manual settings. The S5’s hot shoe caused me to update. The S5 also allows first- and second-curtain flash but drop the in-camera flash and attach the 430EX or 580EX or ST-E2 system. The camera also has back-side add that allows you to mouth dress the 80 to 1600 ISO on screen. This is helpful when you’re suddenly taxed with low-light shooting but in normal conditions try to be at ISO 200 and below. It gets a bit noisy after that. The camera also features auto-focus and auto-exposure bracketing; shift-method visualise stabilization (IS); and get this a “define to fail Values” system (with certain exceptions) for those mislaid moments we all undergo especially when first learning a system. Shift-method visualise stabilization doesn’t defeat the more expensive lens-base systems but remember the S5-IS is a $399.00 (Best Buy) compact camera and its shift-method system far exceeds the less effective electronic-image stabilization systems open in many of the smaller cameras. Image stabilization the manufacturers say allows you to injure in lower-light situations; I see it more as a goof-fixer because we all occasionally move or snap injure (a stumbling go cater for example) and the IS feature can (might) save the shot especially if the lens is pushed out. I like to shoot city night scenes and often displace a tripod or brace of some kind (the one-pound bag of pinto beans atop a parking measure trick) when shooting low lighten. Truth is tripods attract attention thus I try not to carry one when shooting city scenes after dark. A bean bag does wonders.

"John K?s Mighty Mouse Cartoons" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 14:35:55

“I just started a new series of communicate posts on the Bakshi ‘Mighty Mouse’ cartoons we did. Every week (Thusday nights) I’m putting up a freshly packaged episode of The Bakshi Mighty walk show I directed. I’m including funny bumpers and commercials that didn’t appear with the show but should have a throwback to the old directly sponsored age of TV.” This was my favorite of all the Bakshi Mighty walk episodes. It came out the closest to what I envisioned. There are many episodes that make me cringe. BTW. I have restored some scenes in this cartoon that were cut out way back when. They aren’t in this write but you can see the cartoon uncut wherever I do a retrospective.

"Mighty Composite House Rule" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 15:30:47

A desire time ago my friends and I were looking at the range increments for the various weapons and noticed that the composite longbow had 110 ft be increment while the regular longbow had only a 100 foot increment. It made comprehend given the fact that a composite bow has a stronger pull associated with it and would thusly propel the arrow farther when fired. Then it occurred to us: "come up if that's the inspect why don't mighty composite bows have longer ranges than regular composite bows? They must have a stronger displace since they change magnitude the damage of the weapon! They should change magnitude the be as well!" And so we decided that for each inform of Strength bonus the bow is designed for it adds an additional 10 feet to the range increment of a normal composite bow meaning that a mighty composite bow rated for Strength 18 (+4) would have a be range increment of 150 feet (before modifiers). This accommodate rule has been in force for at least two years with our assort and we have no intention of changing it but I was curious to sight out if anyone else feels the same way or if anyone thinks that we've done something wrong with this ruling. Then it occurred to us: "Well if that's the case why don't mighty composite bows have longer ranges than regular composite bows? They must have a stronger pull since they change magnitude the alter of the weapon!" For people who have used bows realistically the stronger pull lets you blast at the same ranges at a flatter arc so you undergo less geometry to worry about. What bothers me about your ruling is that a person can't really fire at 750 ft. (5 of your +4 Str categories) with the same accuracy that a normal person shoots at only 550 ft.; the flatter arc is nice but doesn't materially increase your visual acuity nor the steadiness of your aim and the fact that your target is so much easier to miss with the slightest quiver of your hands. If you wanted to add 1 range bind per +1 Str pull but keep the penalty progression going that might work: that way you can fire your +4 Str bow a maximum of 1540 feet (110 ft x 14 be bands) with a -28 penalty. I disagree because increment is not given by the strength but by the characteristics of the weapon. You can use and improvised weapon (like a stone)and drop it its increment is 10 ft. With more strenght are you more accurate to hit to 30 ft. I evaluate no but if a strong character hits then he really has a compensation for his strenght at the damage. If that is the case then why does the composite bow have more range than a regular bow? Is it more accurate? Both Longbows and recurve bows historically undergo the same piercing be but increase bows undergo a longer max be. increase bows are the ones with pullys which take some of the displace off when you are aiming so yes they would be more accurate Both Longbows and recurve bows historically undergo the same piercing be but compound bows undergo a longer max be. Compound bows are the ones with pullys which act some of the pull off when you are aiming so yes they would be more accurate I think that the 'composite' bow listed in the PHB is different from modern 'compound' bows. The illustration in the book certainly makes it look desire a crook bow. There are no pulleys in the picture nor in the description. I evaluate we may be talking about different things here. I think that the 'composite' bow listed in the PHB is different from modern 'increase' bows. The illustration in the book certainly makes it look like a recurve bow. There are no pulleys in the conceive of nor in the description. I think we may be talking about different things here. the first move is comfort relevant - composite/crook are the same - my copy/attach went further then I thought origanally and then I commented on the wrong move - oops I think that the 'composite' bow listed in the PHB is different from modern 'compound' bows. The illustration in the schedule certainly makes it look like a recurve bow. There are no pulleys in the conceive of nor in the description. I think we may be talking about different things here. the first move is still relevant - composite/crook are the same - my copy/attach went advance then I thought origanally and then I commented on the wrong part - oops Ah. I understand now. I misread your first post and thought you said 'composite and regular bows undergo the same range but compound bows undergo a longer max range.' I see that I was do by. Sorry for the misread. :P So in light of this information do you think that composite bows should be listed as having a 100 ft be increment (identical to the longbow) but allow the wielder to fire up to 11 be increments instead of 10 (kind of desire what Kirth was saying)? 2) This is D&D a game where (whether you agree with it or not) high level characters can go through boiling wet for upwards of 10 seconds then get out and displace on contend with monsters who have the ability to level cities and still standing a very high come about of getting a good night's rest.
