The latest iteration of the Mönchjoch Morning photo. I'm slowly fine-tuning the postprocessing. Each iteration the amount of processing decreases. I'm fairly happy with this version. Criticism welcome!
My iteration for our mecha telephone game.
Big thanks to .JSP. for the photos and kyleph for the lightbox
The second iteration of the starfighter for team T.E.L.E.R. in the telephone game.
A motor can be used in its stand for some neat tricks.
Be sure to watch it spin.
I've posted other iterations of this bench, which sits beside a trail in the Corte Madera Marsh, but this one I did especially for Sliders Sunday. All the sliding was done using a few Topaz presets, all of which were individually tweaked to get this result. This bench is one of those things I just can't pass by without taking another shot or two or three of it, in hopes that maybe I can come up with something different from all the previous shots I've taken. So far, this is my favorite, but I'd be willing to bet this isn't my last attempt.
The Daily Shoot assignment for 2010/06/08 is: Iteration or repetition of a subject makes for good composition. Look for a repeating pattern today and make a photo.

I'm off travelling for a few days, so next week's photos should have a slightly different feel...
December 22nd, A cold yet beautiful Thursday night, crossing the Williamsburg Bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn. An interesting disruption to the everyday commute.
The T1000 is an advanced iteration by Sirius Cyberdine Industries of their popular TR37 tracked rover. Updates include larger size cabin and tracks, a new polymercarbonate bubble windscreen that opens from the bottom to allow easy driver access, updated and more powerful instrumentation inside, a 360-degree multi-wavelength camera, unitized remote antenna, comprehensive communications array that can also be used as a defensive ray in emergency situations, and now all TR1000's come with a helper robot as well. The robot is quite useful when harsh conditions prevent the operators from going outside the unit. Sirius Cyberdine also had the foresight to include advanced personality modules within the helper bots, thus providing companionship to solo operators. Field reports indicate that the bots, while reliable and trustworthy companions, tend to get a bit of snarkiness in their personality chips over long deployments.

This rover is an advance on a rover I built last year, the TR37, seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/125250765@N04/24475833924/in/album-...
Enjoy and thanks for looking!
This image was a branch iteration for the background that ended up in Kauai Night Dream, a piece that ended up in the latest show (and which just sold btw!) But this one was generated during the early phases of that journey and has a compeltely differn't tone and feel to it

My own origami design. Bonsai (37cm hight) with a fractal branching system: 3 iterations. Medium: One uncut square (150 x 150cm) of drawing paper.
Created for "Shock of the New's" "RE-IMAGined Faces" challenge.
There are 4 iterations of one face in this digital / organic "portrait" that references back, in my mind, to those old "black light" poster shops that I used to visit as a kid, grooving on and being inspired by what the cool, older "Hippie" kids were doing. I would stand in there for HOURS, sometimes staring at a single poster for 30 minutes or more, with songs like Deep Purple's "River Deep, Mountain High" or Jimi Hendrix's "Third Stone from the Sun" playing behind it all.
I'm going to dedicate this one to all those older Hippie kids who took me under their wing, who read me J.D. Salinger and John Wyndham, exposed me to Hegel, got me to listen to Gyorgi Ligeti and "Sgt. Pepper", who took me to see "Hair", speculated with me about the meaning of "2001: A Space Oddity", who taught me independence of thought and that voraciously sucking every last drop of knowledge and experience out of life was how to be really cool and move this planet forward. What a lucky kid I was.
To Walter de Korte, Larry Collinson, Paul Hogan, Brad Stevenson, Bruce Moore, Rainer Knopf, Jay Crews, Pam Norman, Tim Booth ..... I am who I am because of you. Thank you.
Music Links: 1.) Deep Purple, "River Deep, Mountain High" 2.) Jimi Hendrix, "Third Stone from the Sun".

The arabesque is a form of artistic decoration consisting of "surface decorations based on rhythmic linear patterns of scrolling and interlacing foliage, tendrils" or plain lines, often combined with other elements. Another definition is "Foliate ornament, used in the Islamic world, typically using leaves, derived from stylised half-palmettes, which were combined with spiralling stems". It usually consists of a single design which can be 'tiled' or seamlessly repeated as many times as desired. Within the very wide range of Eurasian decorative art that includes motifs matching this basic definition, the term "arabesque" is used consistently as a technical term by art historians to describe only elements of the decoration found in two phases: Islamic art from about the 9th century onwards, and European decorative art from the Renaissance onwards. Interlace and scroll decoration are terms used for most other types of similar patterns. Source Wikipedia.
A day spent lounging on the beach, playing cribbage, soaking in the sun/view, and making a few images. It's nothing new, but it never gets old.
On a weekday down near Florence, we had the beach and wispy clouds all to ourselves.

I’m finally doing a review of my all-time favorite character in this new iteration, Walking On Gold Adele Makeda. I wasn’t sure if I was keeping this doll or not. I had to take a good hard look at her. But gurl the moment I saw her face I knew she was a keeper. I was actually rolling my eyes because yet again Adele had the Paparazzi Bait face design for the third time in less than two years. But then she lured me in with those eyes! As much as I want a new face design for Adele, I can’t deny Paparazzi Bait is one of her best. I mean she even photographs really well. The camera loves her.
With the return of the Adele 2.0 face sculpt into the Fashion Royalty line, Adele has gained her popularity back. But from what I heard Walking On Gold wasn’t much of a hit as I was anticipating. In fact I heard she’s selling for retail price on the secondary market. I do get why she’s not as popular as she should be. First of all I think this Christian Lacroix Fall 1988 Couture inspiration not only feels dated but it feels like this is a fashion we had before. This version of Adele is very much reminiscent of 2010’s Scarlet Woman. But what I do love about her is that she has fashion pieces that can be mixed and matched with other existing ones in our collection. We could totally break this Spanish Conquistador look and make something chic out of it. Second is that I bet a lot of us felt what I felt about this doll. She’s too similar to Faces of Adele, Exquise, Goldstroke, Soul Deep and other older versions of Adele. When people feel that a new doll is too similar to what they already have in their collection, they won’t buy it. But for a die-hard Adele fan like me, that’s a different story.
One thing that I have to point out though when buying dolls from the Luxe Life Collection is that you have to make sure the hairline looks great especially the ones with this high ponytail hairstyle ‘cause some of those dolls had some serious crooked hairlines! I get that these dolls are handmade but I’m a perfectionist and I find crooked hairlines as flaws. We can look back at pictures of dolls from 2008’s Mineral Matters and 2009’s Future.Perfect and you can see how perfectly rooted their hairlines were. I might have seen one doll with a crooked hairline but it was that one rare occasion. It is doable. If they can do it back then, certainty those factory workers can do the same now and there’s proof. East 59th for example. They stepped up their game this year. Almost all of the IRL pictures I’ve seen of those dolls’ widow’s peak were done superbly unlike last year were the factory didn’t do so well. I hope they keep it up for the years to come.
I believe this version of Adele is in the new Sunkissed skin tone just like Dollface from earlier this year. The difference that I see between them though is that Walking On Gold’s head is a perfect color match to her body while with Dollface there are times you can see a color difference depending on the light. I wasn’t too thrilled about another skin tone at first but I have to say this is a great alternative to Latino or Light Honey. Last year they did something special with Frosted Glamour Adele by giving the base of her stand a design that was unique to her coordinating with her Snow Queen look, this time they did something special again with Adele. She’s the only doll in the entire Luxe Life Collection that comes with these new hand-on-hip extra hands while she has the Rupaul Kitty Gurl Pink hands as her default. Now these aren’t your flat FR2 hands from way back. Nope. These are much more graceful and much more appealing.
Now I have a feeling Walking On Gold is a sleeper hit. I see so much potential in her. I think she’ll look better redressed. Adele can definitely benefit with a new face design for next year, something that can rival the Paparazzi Bait face design. I think we’ve had enough of these recycled face screenings. They need to rest for a while.
Ah yes, the final iteration of this image. It combines textures from the last one with enhancements from the first one.
Sorry to bore you, but I had to put up my favorite version...

An iteration on the last one. The big changes are in the shoulders (towball + technic fig hand) and the hips (towball + key light hand).
The key light hand pins don't fit into the 1 x 1 cylinders. I had to thicken the pins using decals. It's a little cheesy and I haven't yet decided if I'm okay with it as a "personal building rule" (sometimes I roll my eyes at how serious I take this). However they fit so nicely onto the towballs that I'm letting it go this time!
False color; original is yellow.

Final iteration of this design. Fixed some issues:
Enlarged stock with cutout features and 1-sling mount for a QD sling-swivel
Folding Foregrip for better stowage.
Shrank the barrel a bit to maintain the "compact feel"
Added M-16 style charging handle.
Various other receiver modifications
My vision with this gun is something a standard soldier would carry slung across his back and use when taking the point position while infiltrating a building. Quick to grab, use, and quick to stow again.
