Baba Nam Kevalam

Image by premasagar
A Portuguese car sticker on an Indian car.

'Baba Nam Kevalam' is a mantra that means:
'Everything is an expression of one infinite, loving Consciousness'.

It can be sung as a way to open the heart and focus the mind (see kiirtan) before meditation, or can be internally repeated as a simple meditation technique.

'Ananda Marga' is a global, social service and spiritual organisation that started in India.

And 'Yoga e Meditacao'... I think you can guess.

Indian Driver and Friends

exposureoflife.com/2011/02/indian-driver-and-friends/
These Indian-manufactured cars called "HM", are only used as taxis or to drive around officials. so of course there are a lot of them parked around the government buildings in New Delhi, and here I found this guy sitting in one of them waiting for some one or maybe just having a break.
I asked if I could make a photo of him, he said yes, and I just managed to take one photo before all the other drivers who stood nearby came over to see what was going on, I shoot a few while they where standing around, and lucky enough course I ended up selecting one of the photos with them hanging around, cause I very much liked their reflection in the car's window.
∞
This is a HDR made from a single RAW exposure, made hand-held, because there was no time to put up my tripod, because as you might have noticed the door is open and he was kind of getting out of the car, when I asked him to make the picture, and he didn't look like he wanted to sit there all day waiting for me.
I imported the HDR and the original exposure in to Photoshop as layers, and masked his face from the original into the HDR, cause people don't do well in HDR.

Hood ornament.. I forgot of which car. I don't even know the brand any more, if someone can help me.. just write it in the comments.

UPDATE: User "jwvraets" identified this as a Pontiac hood ornament.. thanks!

Lens is an old Pentax SMC-M 100/4 Macro on a Samsung GX-10.

(..yes, I wrote Pentax K-7 at first, mixed up the cams, I had both with me..)

Post-processing with UFRAW und GIMP 2.6

I really do recommend the "big on black" version.. it's on of these photos which starts to shine there.

1987 - 1993 VW Golf I Cabrio Facelift (04)

1987 - 1993 VW Golf I Cabrio Facelift (04)

Image by Georg Schwalbach (GS1311)
In May 1974, Volkswagen presented the first-generation Golf as a modern front-wheel-drive, hatchback replacement for the Volkswagen Beetle.

Like its predecessor the Volkswagen Beetle, the Volkswagen Golf Mk1 has proven to be influential. In continuous production since 1974, the Golf was one of the first widely successful front-wheel drive hatchbacks. In the USA, the Morris Mini, Honda N360 and Fiat 128 saw only limited success, but it was the Rabbit, along with the Honda Civic that sparked another generation of European-derived front-wheel drive American compacts, such as the Dodge Omni, Escort and Cavalier in the 1980s, just as the Beetle inspired Falcon and Corvair in 1960s and subcompact Vega and Pinto in the 1970s.

Replacing the Beetle was a vital goal for Volkswagen's continued survival. By the early 1970s, the company had fallen into financial difficulties and Beetle sales began to decline sharply. Water cooled, front-engine, rear-wheel drive small cars began enjoying customer loyalty.

Der Golf I ist ein Automodell der Kompaktklasse der Volkswagenwerk AG, das von Frühjahr 1974 bis Sommer 1983 über 6,2 Millionen Mal hergestellt wurde. Das Modell war der Nachfolger des VW Käfers, obwohl letzterer weiterhin angeboten wurde. Zusätzlich produzierte Karmann außerdem von Frühjahr 1979 bis Sommer 1993 knapp 389.000 Cabriolets. Der vom Golf I abgeleitete VW Caddy/Pick-up wurde 200.000-mal hergestellt. Am 31. Dezember 2008 waren in Deutschland noch 4518 Fahrzeuge des VW-intern Typ 17 genannten Modells zugelassen (ohne Golf Cabrio, Typ 155)

2003 - 2010 Hummer H2 (02)

Image by Georg Schwalbach (GS1311)
The Hummer H2 is an SUV and SUT that was marketed by General Motors under the Hummer brand. It is a large truck (slimmer than the Hummer H1), while longer, heavier (8600 lbs.), and taller with room for six passengers (including driver), seven passengers in some models. The rearmost part of the H2 SUV was modified to a pickup truck bed for the 2005 H2 SUT ("Sport Utility Truck"). The Hummer H2 was the only one of the trucks to have the letters HUMMER between the grille.

Der Hummer H2 ist ein SUV-Modell der US-amerikanischen Automarke Hummer.

Der H2 ist der Versuch von GM, die steigende Nachfrage nach Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) zu nutzen und dabei gleichzeitig von der Popularität des militärischen Hummer zu profitieren. So ist der H2 technisch eng verwandt mit seinen Konzernbrüdern Chevrolet Tahoe und Cadillac Escalade, ähnelt jedoch optisch mehr dem H1. Der H2 besitzt gute Geländeeigenschaften, die jedoch die des H1 nicht erreichen. Die Hummer H2 Modelle sind außerdem in vielen Filmen vorhanden wie z. B. in CSI: Miami als Polizeidienstfahrzeug.

Millikan Library Jacaranda

Image by madprime
After graduation, it was time for Andrew to pack some stuff into Dad's car, as Dad was leaving right away to San Diego (he had just been absent for the first time ever for his own class at UCSD taking a final exam & needed to get back to help with grading). While they did that, the rest of us walked around the campus, looking at buildings and gardens.

This is on the south side of Millikan Library, next to the Bridge physics building. The campus has many Jacarandas which reliably decorate the campus with purple flowers on a yearly basis.

This image is actually a panorama stitched together from several photos, using hugin. It also suffered from the smurf filter...

1937 Ford Coupe "Barn Car" (8 of 10)

Photographed at the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival Car Show in Lincoln, Illinois on August 29, 2010. The event is sponsored by the Railsplitter Antique Auto Club.

****************************************************************************************************

You are invited to stay and browse through my photostream. Here's a quick index to my little corner of Flickr:

Automobile Photographs: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)

Central Illinois (except Springfield): Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "counrtyside") photographs are grouped by county.

Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.

The Illinois State Fair: My collection of photographs of the Illinois State Fair. The fair offers something for everyone. Grab a corn dog and lemon shake-up, and come take a look!

Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.

In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:

Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.

Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.

Workin' At The Car Wash, Yeah

Workin' At The Car Wash, Yeah

Image by drp
"Well, I had just got out from the county prison
Doin’ ninety days for non-support
Tried to find me an executive position
But no matter how smooth I talked
They wouldn’t listen to the fact that I was a genius
The man say, we got all that we can use.
Now i got them steadily depressin’, low down mind messin’
Working at the car wash blues

Well, I should be sittin’ in an air conditioned office in a swivel chair
Talkin’ some trash to the secretaries
Sayin’, here, now mama, come on over here.
Instead, I’m stuck here rubbin’ these fenders with a rag
And walkin’ home in soggy old shoes
With them steadily depressin’, low down mind messin’
Workin’ at the car wash blues

You know a man of my ability
He should be smokin’ on a big cigar
But till I get myself straight I guess I’ll just have to wait
In my rubber suit a-rubbin’ these cars

Well, all I can do is a shake my head
You might not believe that it’s true
For workin’ at this end of niagara falls
Is an undiscovered howard hughes
So baby, don’t expect to see me
With no double martini in any high-brow society news
Cause I got them steadily depressin’, low down mind messin’
Workin’ at the car wash blues"

Car Bends Library Handrail

We heard a bang outside and there she was on the Library entry pathway, trying for some sort of short cut maybe. The paramedics arrived within minutes and pronounced her OK. Full marks to our Council trades staff for the robust hand rail which acted as a safety barrier.

Chicago: view of South Branch Chicago River, Sears Tower observation deck IMG_0321.jpg

LATENT CASE: A SLIGHT VERTIGO

The Sears Tower's Skydeck is on the United States's tallest building's 103rd floor: 1,353 ft. above the ground.

People walking on the sidewalks below are as small as mites and other nearly microscopic insects. Cars and vehicles are far less than the size of toys, minaturized to an incredibly tinyness, something that could be held between your finger and your thumb rather than in your hand.

The South Branch of the Chicago River flows far below your feet.

The flow of the Chicago River was reversed by human engineering by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1892 so that it would drain from Lake Michigan rather than into the Lake, thus protecting the purity of the city's water supply fromthe city's own water pollution. It now drains into the Mississippi River basin through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal constructed in 1900 replacing the earlier Illinois & Michigan Canal finished in 1848.

The average sway of the steel frame skyscraper is less than 6" from true center.

My friend, Fay Marie, says she believes she felt that thing swaying when she was on the Skydeck of the Sears Tower. Of course, the Skydeck's staff said the building's sway could not be felt. (Do they know the full range of human ability to detect such sway? It could vary from individual to individual.)

This view out the Skydeck from the "backside" of the building was somewhat alarming and, yet, at the same time, thrilling. Perhaps it was the river running beneath my feet.

The Skydeck is a large space but it is also incredibly open. There aren't any posts or beams blocking your view of it (although the center of the room is occupied by the restroom, etc. It's easy to figure out the dimensions of what is essentially a single large room set high atop a the relatively slender profile of the Sears Tower.

It's the proportion of the Skydeck's width and length in comparison to the vast height of the Sears Tower that preyed upon my mind, perhaps more than anything else.

The Skydeck's total amount of floor space is incredibly small in comparison to the block after city block of Chicago at ground level below. When I think of it this way, It's almost seems that the Skydeck is suspended in mid-air high abover the city.

The Sears Tower is so tall you look down on all the other city's buildings, including all of the other of the city's downtown skyscrapers. The view on a clear day without haze extends 40 to 50 miles from Illinois to three other states: Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan.

Sometime after being on the Sears Tower Skydeck Ipictured being in the position you see in the photograph: my feet next to the register at the bottom window which starts very close to the floor. The buidling starts to sway, losing its balance: the top heavy structure bending over, breaking in the middle, the top half breaking and dropping head first into the South Branch of the Chicago River below.

Nigel #45/100 "SMILE, LIFE'S TOO SHORT"

Today I met Nigel at Victoria Tube station playing my favorite Snow Patrol song "Chasing Cars". After years of moving on buskers, The London Underground now have designated spots for them to play their music in. I stopped to listen to the whole song, gave Nigel my change and did my intro.

Nigel agreed to being part of the project. I let him get on with his playing, not wanting to impact his earnings as more people were coming up the escalator. While looking for a bit of paper to write my Flickr URL on (so not ready for photos today) he followed up with another great song, “Tears In Heaven” by Eric Clapton.

This has been the first day in many months that I've walked out of the house without the 40D, in a hurry to catch a train. I felt naked! I'd thought about the lack of dSLR for a moment and decided a lower res camera-phone shot would be better than no shot at all.

I could tell from the way he rocked about on his stool and the expressions he made while he sang and played that this wasn't just a way to earn some money, he truly loves his music. This created a small problem for me - the CPU in the phone is slow in comparison to the DIGIC processor in the Canon so all of the shots came out very blurred and I had to ask Nigel to stay still and pose for a shot.

I thanked Nigel and said something along the lines of “Note to self: Don't leave home without it!”, he smiled and said “You never know what's going to happen”. Too true. I might have my first photo in a news paper very soon because I'd carried the camera and been in the right place at the right time while heading to the station one morning.

Nigel told me that he does gigs with his band and also plays solo. He's planning to travel to India soon, somewhere warmer than here.

The initial upload of the shot via email looked blurred as the photo app on the phone had scaled down the image for sending. This experience and Nigel's “Smile, Life's Too Short” will be a good reminder to carry the Canon.

I should use Will Smiths saying: “Always be ready, then you don't have to get ready.”

Thanks for you time Nigel, it was lovely meeting you, I hope you have a great time in India.

Los Angeles is park poor, and there are unfair park, school, and health disparities. Children of color living in poverty disproportionately lack access to parks, to school fields, to healthy food in grocery stores and restaurants, and to cars or transit to reach parks, schools, or healthy foods. They suffer from the highest levels of child obesity.

Very little has changed in this village. Note that the small petrol station in the old photo is still a garage selling cars. The thatched roof on the cottage has, unfortunately, been replaced.
