Photographers expand horizons in 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest 110311

By Tim Hipps
FMWRC Public Affairs

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Brenda Walker strolled upon “one of those right places at the right time” alongside East Fork Indian Creek River when she photographed “Morning Serenity” on Fort Campbell, Ky…

Retired Col. Richard Pugh shot three photographs of “Point Lobos,” just south of Monterey, Calif., and combined them into one image by working 15 minutes with Photoshop…

Staff Sgt. Pablo Piedra won a footrace with his wife to the bottom of a stairwell at Heidelberg Castle in Germany just before he looked up and photographed “9”…

…all three were winners in the 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest sponsored by the Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command.

There were 3,691 entries from around the world – 1,348 in Division I for active duty military personnel and 2,343 in Division II for other eligible MWR patrons. After Army garrisons selected their best entries, 664 Division I and 1,031 Division II photographs were forwarded for Department of the Army judging.

“There were many really excellent photos, which made the judges’ decisions a difficult task,” said Linda Ezernieks, who monitors the annual contest at Army MWR Headquarters in Alexandria. “Originality, creativity and technical quality were the main criteria in making final selections.”

Winners in each category – animals, digital darkroom, design elements, military life, monochrome, nature & landscapes, people, and still life – were posted on a website where Army Knowledge Online account-holders voted for their favorite photo in each division.

Walker’s “Morning Serenity” took first place in the nature and landscapes category and was voted the most popular photograph in Division II.

The subject of the photo is a fisherman wading and casting in the middle of East Fork Indian Creek River while the sun shines through the lush, green trees and casts a rainbow-like appearance off the steam hovering above the stream.

“It’s back on Fort Campbell,” Walker said. “I take my dog running back there early morning. It was really hot and the steam was rising and the rays were going through the trees. It was absolutely beautiful back there.

“I take my camera everywhere I go now.”

Walker left her business card on the windshield of a truck parked nearby and later learned the fisherman was Sgt. Randy Shorter of Fort Campbell.

About five years ago, Walker took some of her photographs to the MWR Custom Framing Shop at Fort Campbell, where she found out about the Army Photography Contest. She has produced prize-winning photos for the past three contests.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to get exposure, plus cash prizes,” said Walker, 48, a military family member. “I enjoy looking at everybody else’s work. It inspires me and motivates me to get out and get more interesting, different shots.”

What does Walker enjoy most about photography?

“Just being able to capture what I see through my eyes, my heart and my head,” she said. “A lot of it comes out through your emotion. It’s another form of art.”

Pugh, of Clarksville, Tenn., took first place in the Division II digital darkroom category with “The Owl,” second in design elements with “Blue Mosque,” and third in nature and landscapes with “Point Lobos.”

Pugh shot the high-tech looking photo of “The Owl” at Land Between The Lakes, a national recreation area located south of Paducah, Ky., and embellished it in Photoshop, as he did with “Blue Mosque,” a shot of the roof of a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey.

“I like this contest,” said Pugh, 65, who photographed winning entries in each of the past three years after serving 30 years in the Army. “It gives people a chance to show off something they did, which is great.”

Piedro, 31, an Army recruiter in Douglasville, Ga., is a former combat photographer. His “9” earned first-place honors in the Division I design elements category. He took third place in digital darkroom with a self-portrait called “Beast within Me” that would make a dandy Halloween poster.

“I got the idea when I was in the gym working out with my partner and a couple people came up to us and said: ‘You guys are lifting like beasts.’ The idea just popped into my head, so I got home, took the shot, and just started editing,” Piedro said. “That’s where that photo came from.”

The subject of the photo looks like a cross between a werewolf, a vampire and an Avatar, complete with fangs, dagger-like fingernails and alien ears – seemingly howling at the moon that looms behind a naked tree.

“The fangs, the ears, the eyes and the hands are all Photoshopped,” Piedro said. “And the stomach that’s concaved a little bit, that was done in Photoshop. For the background, I took certain parts of images from other photos, adjusted them, and made everything into one image.”

So what’s real?

“The body, and the face,” Piedro replied. “That’s it.

“If you look closely, the eyes are actually black and the pupils are red, so that’s been Photoshopped.”

Piedro, however, does not think of himself as a Photoshop expert.

“I actually don’t do too much Photoshop,” he said. “I try to keep my images as pure as possible. But every now and then, I get my creative side and I do a little bit of Photoshop – just trial and error, playing around.”

Piedro won two categories and received an honorable mention in the 2007 Army Photography Contest but missed the competition the past two years.

“I think it’s a great, great program,” he said. “It’s a great way to get the creative process of people that do see the world and travel the world by being in the military, and not even just as Soldiers, but supporting staff, civilians, wives.

“It’s a great way to get recognition for something that we love to do.”

As is often the case with photography, Piedro did not know exactly what he shot that day in the stairwell to the gardens at Heidelberg Castle – until he downloaded the photo.

“When I got home and I looked at, I was like: ‘That’s 9, yeah.’ And that’s where the title came from.”

Piedro cherishes photography’s uncanny ability of giving him the opportunity of “freezing a moment in time that only I can see and sharing that with others.”

Several other military photographers earned multiple places in the 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest.

Holly Swegle of Fort Hood, Texas, took first place in Division II monochrome for “Dress Shop,” second in animals for “Painted Birds” and third in people for “American Woman.”

Lt. Col. Mark Bonica of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, took second in Division I still life with “Reflections in Soap,” third in monochrome with “… and We All Fall Down” and received an honorable mention in military life with “Free Gift When You Join Today.”

Staff Sgt. Brandon Quarterman of Fort Bliss, Texas, won the Division I popular vote contest for “Reaching Perfection,” which topped the still life category.

Nice Image Shack photos

A few nice image shack images I found:


Dungeness 21-04-2012
image shack
Image by Karen Roe
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name given to a “village” situated along the beach, and to an important ecological site on the same location. It is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife.

Dungeness is not truly a village, more a scattered collection of dwellings. Some of the homes, small wooden houses in the main, many built around old railway coaches, are owned and lived in by fishermen, whose boats lie on the beach; some are occupied by people trying to escape the pressured outside world. The shack-like properties have a high value on the property market.

Perhaps the most famous house is Prospect Cottage, formerly owned by the late artist and film director Derek Jarman. The cottage itself is painted black, with a poem, part of John Donne's “The Sunne Rising”, written on one side in black lettering. The garden however is the main attraction. Reflecting the bleak, windswept landscape of the peninsula, Derek Jarman's garden is made of pebbles, driftwood, scrap metal and a few hardy plants.

There is a remarkable and unique variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant (a third of all those found in Britain). It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain. The short-haired bumblebee, declared extinct in the UK nearly a decade ago, but which has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago, is to be reintroduced at Dungeness in the spring of 2010.

MY MURAL AT KC'S OLD PINK DOOR BAR ON THE 12TH STREET STRIP...Owner gives it his final tap of approval...60s photo
photo fun
Image by roberthuffstutter
Mike was a great guy who enjoyed life to the fullest. He owned, or managed, or it seemed he did, the PINK DOOR GO GO BAR on the old 12th Street Strip in Kansas City, Missouri. Here, he is putting a finishing touch on the mural I designed and painted for the establishment. Trying to recall how long it took is a task because I stretched the job as long as I could. The benefits were good and I enjoyed the environment. There were no restrictions on smoking back then. The customers were able to enjoy the freedom of lighting up and blowing second-hand smoke, if they so agreed, in the others face. The dancers often came in early and practiced their special routines for the evening shows. I did not let them distract me from my work. Mike or whoever was on duty kept me hydrated at no charge while I painted. The mural was the pride and joy of the club while it was in operation.

Back in March while I was out of town, I received a message on flickr from someone associated with Food Network magazine. They were asking for a larger photo of one of my photos to publish in a future issue. I didn't have my external hard drive with me and the deadline was going to be before I got back so I ignored this message. I had forgotten about that until I was browsing through Food Network's June '11 issue... and there was my photo!!

What's funny is I bought this magazine a few weeks back not even thinking about that message I received. Even though it's a small photo it's still exciting nonetheless and I even have a wee credit on the right side of the page!

From http://makerfaire.com/pub/e/1002:

The Mercedes Pens Art Car created by me, the Pen Guy, is covered inside and out in over 6000 pens. I got the idea to create an art car using something we all use, old pens of every kind. My goal is to inspire others through art and comedy to begin pursuing their dreams and visions for their life in fun, creative, and humorous way.

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

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.

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.

Photo by Matylda Czarnecka

The spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon brought in hundreds of students to Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science April 6-7 for 24 hours of creative collaborative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.

NYC Startups, selected by a student organizing committee, presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, after which students formed groups to work through the night implementing their own ideas for fresh hacks built on top of these APIs.

On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel featuring members of the NYC startup community, which selected the final winning teams.

Since April 2010, hackNY hosts student hackathons one each semester, as well as the hackNY Fellows program, a structured internship which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment: a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup in NYC.

To find out what you missed at the spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon please do see our HackerLeague event page and blog post announcing the winners.

Special thanks to our spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon judges! And congratulations to the winners of the spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon!

Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup in NYC.

The spring 2013 hackNY student hackathon brought in hundreds of students to Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science April 6-7 for 24 hours of creative collaborative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.

NYC Startups, selected by a student organizing committee, presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, after which students formed groups to work through the night implementing their own ideas for fresh hacks built on top of these APIs.

On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel featuring members of the NYC startup community, which selected the final winning teams.

Weeks--The Hour of Prayer, detail 2
photo to canvas
Image by Universal Pops
I am always appreciative of views and comments; thank you for taking time to look.

This is a series of 11 images (oil on canvas). Edwin Lord Weeks (1849-1903), an Orientalist painter, was born in Massachusetts, the child of wealthy merchants. The placard at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond states he was a photographer, writer, explorer, collector and illustrator as well. He studied in France under Léon Bonnat. He made trips to Morocco, the Middle East and then India in 1882. Any number of videos featuring his works on India are on YouTube. The paintings depicted are always human with an eye to details. The painting “The Hour of Prayer at Moti Mushid (The Pearl Mosque), Agra” (ca 1888-1889) is large (perhaps 6’ x 3 1/2”) and is filled with amazing details of those gathered for prayer at the mosque. The detailed images show many aspects of this gathering: washing, reading, lounging. Any number of “things” are happening, yet no part detracts from another; all is well-integrated into a comprehensive whole. The architecture is integral to the work. The Moti Mushid, built 1654 in Agra, is an excellent example of Mughal architecture. His original works today can bring a price of more than a million dollars.

The original frame by Lockwood de Forest (1850-1932), another Orientalist, is made of wood with cast and carved ornament and is gilded. The framed painting is the final image in the series.

Purple Sunset in Indonesia
image shack
Image by Stuck in Customs
I promised that I would continue my story about the dead body in Indonesia, so here it is. It doesn't really go with a pretty sunset, but, well, here we go. It's short and not too spectacular, so don't get your hopes up for a good old-fashioned dead-body story.

While walking through downtown Jogjakarta with Will the crowds were thick. There were thousands of Indonesians walking around through busy downtown streets. It was an area without cars, but hundreds of bikes and carts darted in and out of the traffic. It was not really a commercial district, but it was somewhat third-world in the types of little shack-like stores that fringed the edges. Food carts rolled around selling hot, steaming mysterious meat-mashes and small ziplocks of coconut juice hung from poles, ready for sale.

After walking through a bit, we approached a curb where we saw some poor soul splayed out across the concrete. I've seen thousands of homeless / passed out / drunk / unfortunates splayed out in the street before, but this was different. This guy was dead. You can just tell. People walked around him and certainly regarded him as an empty shell. People would kind of step on or trip on bits here or there. I passed by his legs and didn't quite know what to do. There was no one stopping to help, and I didn't really want to get involved, since I don't speak the language and didn't want to get carted off for questioning/shakedown.

So I passed by and Will said, "Do you think that guy was dead?". I nodded and we got the hell outta there.

È il terzo lago italiano come superficie con 145 km² e il primo per sviluppo perimetrale con 170 km.
È il quinto bacino più profondo d'Europa con i suoi 410 metri dopo 4 laghi norvegesi: Hornindalsvatnet, Mjøsa, Salsvatn e Tinnsjå.
Raggiunge una lunghezza di 46 km (Gera Lario - Como) ed è largo da 650 metri a 4,3 km.
Bifido fiordo interamente scavato nella cerchia delle prealpi lombarde, con una caratteristica forma a "Y" rovesciata o, come recita un diffuso detto locale, a forma di uomo [1], è uno dei più suggestivi paesaggi italiani, decantato nell'800 dai maggiori poeti del Romanticismo, da Alessandro Manzoni a Stendhal, da George Gordon Byron a Franz Liszt.
Si trova a 199 m slm. La morfologia del territorio varia dai pendii arrotondati ed erbosi alle dolomie con rocce dentate, guglie e torri. I depositi alluvionali, trasportati da fiumi e torrenti, iniziarono a formarsi con la postglaciazione e furono la causa della separazione dei laghi minori (il Lago di Mezzola a nord ed i laghi di Garlate e di Olginate a sud).

Il bacino è composto da tre parti differenti: a sud-ovest il ramo di Como, a sud-est il ramo di Lecco e a nord il ramo di Colico (o "alto lago"), il più aperto dei tre. I fiordi meridionali rinserrano il montagnoso Triangolo Lariano. La divisione dei tre rami è ben visibile dal Sasso di San Martino, sopra Griante.

Lake Como (Lago di Como in Italian, also known as Lario; Lach de Comm in Insubric; Latin: Larius Lacus) is a lake of glacial origin in Lombardy, Italy. It has an area of 146 km², making it the third largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. At over 400 m (1320 ft) deep it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the bottom of the lake is more than 200 metres (656 ft) below sea-level.

The Mirror Chase

The Mirror Chase
photo ideas
Image by MTSOfan
On Saturday, while visiting a barn sale, I saw this mirror on the wall. I love reflective surfaces, so I automatically snapped a picture and kept going. When I got home, I viewed it on the computer, noticed how much of the barn I could see in its dirty surface, and had an idea.

My friend, Sandra , has been doing a series with two identical wedding dresses she purchased cheaply at a flea market. She uses one as a prop in various locations, from barns to public parks to railroad tracks. (The other has been a back-up). Sandra comes up with some interesting contexts for a simple, white dress!

My idea was to imitate her, but to use the convex mirror to display where I am. Visiting the river, playing with children, sitting in my office. Different environments, same gawdy plastic frame.

So, I ran back to the barn the next day. I figured the owner would sell it to me for five dollars.

Alas, someone beat me to it. Minutes before I arrived, it had been sold. I checked Amazon, but they don't have quite the right thing. And, what they do have is expensive.

So, now I'm on the look-out for a convex mirror. Glad it's yard sale season!

i will try to explain better over time, but for now ill say my idea is to create a group of people here that produce this images with a movie and some of the actors and maybe also the director of that movie and also other images with the movies of an actor (see my other image) and then link all them.

other thing: all images used in the mix of this image where found here in flickr with cc
