Flesh is not flesh colored at all!
There I was the other day, thinking about colors to be used for an upcoming project, when I started to realize that colors don't mean as much to me as they used to.
Colors started as pretty benign designations that you are taught as a kid: Orange, Yellow, Green, etc.. Then as you move into the world further and discover Crayons™, you suddenly find yourself immersed in new names for what were once just simple colors. Now you have Raw Sienna, Maize, and Prussian Blue. They could still be classified by the base color names, but now they are so much cooler!
Anyways, I then thought about how Hexadecimal equivalents relate to the cool color names from my Crayon™ days and decided to do some searching about the origins of these new names. I ran across a very cool rundown on the history of Crayola Crayon™ colors and when they were introduced.
Then searching further, I found that SimpleBits was running a small informal quiz, asking you to guess the Hex color codes of a few sample swatches (which I did very well on btw).
Then I realized, I have gone from simple color names to fancy Crayon™ colors and finally ending in boring Hexadecimal colors. Where did I go wrong?

Forest Green Rovers have made their final foray into the transfer market, signing former Aston Villa and Lincoln City footballer Paul Green on a two year contract.
The 25-year-old spent last term at Blue Square rivals Tamworth, making 43 appearances for The Lambs, but made his name at League Two side Lincoln City after spending his youth career at Villa.
Forest Green manager David Hockaday said despite saying that the club had concluded their work in the transfer market with the signing of Ed Asafu-Adjaye this week, the opportunity to add Green to the squad was too good to pass up.
Hockaday said: "Paul can play anywhere across the back but we will be looking to use him at centre-half and in central midfield.
"He has good pace and good feet. He's strong and aggressive in the right way, a leader and a warrior.
"I am absolutely chuffed to bits – Paul is the final piece in the puzzle – we won't be signing any more players unless bubonic plague strikes."
Green played at Lincoln City for five seasons from 2006/07 through until 2010/11, making 127 appearances in all competitions.
In his second season at Sincil Bank, Green won the Lincoln City Player of the Year and Players Player awards.

Wearable tech is not just for adults. Toy manufacturers are lining up to join the latest craze of things that aren't a phone but do most of what a phone does. VTech, the makers of tablets for children released their Kidizoom Smart Watch and it is proving to be a hit with youngsters, but what is it? And does you child need one?
Vtech, known for learning focussed tablets and brightly coloured cameras give children a taste of technology in a bump proof package. When they announced that they would be the first company to make a Smart Watch for children reviewers queued up to firstly ask why? And second see how smart it really could be…
Although it is referred to as a Smart Watch, the Kidizoom is an extension of VTech's photography range. Its main feature is a low quality camera which takes snaps and records video, you can then easily download these to a computer via mini-USB cable (which also acts as the charger).
In addition to the camera, the friendly interface gives children the option to play games (downloadable from VTechs app store), check the time and record their voice. There are a variety of clock faces available and for younger children this can be a fun way to learn to tell the time.
As you probably noticeded, there's no phone option. As the watch is aimed at children age 4 – 11 this is the right decision. It's a fun bit of kit for kids to play on, take pictures and hopefully learn something. Also at £39.99 it seems a reasonable price for a Christmas present.V
The downside of the watch is its battery life, although if vigilant with charging this shouldn't be a problem, just be aware that it might not last all day with constant use. We're looking forward to seeing who's next to bring out wearable kiddie tech as the market is wide open. It looks like VTech have the right approach with this Smart Watch, it lets children have a bit of fun for a reasonable price.

Here are a some images from an engagement session I shot a few weeks ago. We started out in the Meatpacking District, on the High Line, then headed over to Dumbo and Brooklyn Bridge Park. We found some really cool spots over there that I'd never noticed before. I love the light here in winter. There's something about it that is so amazing and so different from anywhere else I've shot. Hope you like them!
What was supposed to be a perfect fall day in New York turned out to be a record setting snow storm here in Manhattan. Luckily Allison was on the ball and noticed the forecast a couple days prior so we shot their session one day early, still not knowing exactly what kind of terrible weather we had escaped. Due to an unusually warm October we didn't have the fall color Allison and Tony traveled across the country to see but I think we got some great images that day. Here are a few of my favorites.
Angela and JT are awesome.
Ely Roberts is a photographer from San Luis Obispo and when he brought his girlfriend to New York to propose to her he wrote and asked if I'd shoot an engagement session of them while they were in town. I've said it before but I love shooting photographers, haha. They're up for anything and whether they are or not they at least act like they're comfortable in front of the camera.
It was a blast hanging out with Ely and Abby that afternoon and I love the images from the session. Here are some favorites.
If you're a photographer or even just blogger you really need to check out BlogStomp. I've been using their actions to prep my blog images for about a year and a half but they just came out with an App that doesn't need Photoshop to resize, sharpen, create collages, add your logo or watermark, resize and save for web. It's unbelievable. Check it out.
I love this series, haha. Ely was playing around and jokingly got down on one knee reenacting the proposal... I wonder if anyone has ever done that for engagement pictures before?! Haha.
You might have seen on here before that I offer private workshops for photographers affectionately known as WOODSHOPS. I don't put on huge group workshops because #1: they're a whole lot of work and #2: if that's what you're wanting there are already tons of them out there. If, however, you (or maybe you and a couple of friends) want to spend a day, afternoon, or lunch together picking my brain, listening to me talk about how I work and shoot, I'll happily oblige you. I usually do one per month.
A few weeks ago I had a WOODSHOP with a photographer from LA named Gary Coelho. We spent the afternoon together talking about how he could improve his photography and at the end of the afternoon we went out for a shoot to give him a chance to put his new knowledge into practice. We had to postpone the workshop a day because of rain so I was scrambling trying to find a couple to model for me. I put out the word on Twitter and within a few minutes my good friends Jake and Jessica Mariano graciously volunteered to be our subjects for the afternoon. We went out into the hills of Ladera Ranch for an engagement style shoot and had a great time trudging around in the mud. We had some beautiful light and got some really wonderful images.
If you're interested in a WOODSHOP check out the information page and shoot me an email.
Here are some favorites from that afternoon:
Here's an engagement shoot from the fall I shot out in Orange County. You can almost bet that you'll have good weather in Southern California but every now and then you get "lucky" and get a beautifully overcast day like this. I just love the tones from this session and can't wait to shoot their wedding in Malibu this summer.
We shot these in downtown Laguna Beach and then drove up to Crystal Cove in Newport.
Several months ago I was hired to shoot what I thought was going to be a pretty typical engagement session in New York. Time passed and as the date came closer I got in touch with the couple to firm up the details. They told me they had some ideas about the shoot and then said they wanted it to have a 1950's theme. They wanted to shoot outside a diner, they were having a '56 T-bird there for the shoot, they were dressing up in 50's attire... in fact, it wasn't going to be typical at all.
One of the things they told me is that they wanted to shoot with the car outside the diner and have the sunset behind them. Well if you know anything about photography you know that in order for that to happen you're going to have to use lighting. I guess I could have done some HDR stuff but its not 2006 anymore. :)
So I rented a Profoto set up and drove out to New Jersey to the diner. The diner was awesome but it was also surrounded by cars, not from the 50's, which to me kind of kills the whole thing. So we positioned the car in the middle of the parking lot and I shot from pretty much the only angle that blocked out the rest of the cars and still showed the diner. I felt pretty good about the images as we were shooting but I never get too excited because you really never know what you're getting until you open them up. I even turned the strobes off at a couple of points and shot natural light just in case things weren't turning out as good as I thought they were.
When I opened the images up to begin working on them I just fell in love. Its so different from what I normally do but man they're so freaking cool.
While I typically work with natural light, when I was first getting started I never wanted to be in a situation where I felt unprepared so I learned as much as I could about off camera lighting. I'm by no means an expert but knowing this stuff has helped me get good images out of bad situations.
So here are a few of my favorites. I put in some of the natural light stuff as well. I think the difference is really interesting. Let me know what you think.
I was going through a shoot from a couple of weeks ago tonight and thought I'd put a few images up. I had such a great time with Chu and Antonio. They're such a great couple and this is actually not the first time I've taken Chu's photo. I shot her sister's wedding a couple of years ago and she was a bridesmaid.
One of my favorite images ever came out of their "pre-wedding" "day after" session:
Enough about them though, back to Chu and Antonio... :)
Here are a few images from my time with them.
I love these ones on their beach cruisers!
Here are a few of my favorite images from Kenny and Bri's engagement session last week in Santa Monica. They are so much fun to hang around and I CAN NOT WAIT for their wedding this summer at the Viceroy in Anguilla! It's going to be so awesome.

Fun Facts In The Evolution Of Honey Hunting
The hunting of human for honey started at least eight thousand years ago and can be proven true by a cave painting in Valencia, Spain showing two honey-hunters collecting honey and honeycomb from a wild bee nest. The figures are described carrying baskets or gourds, and using a ladder or series of ropes to reach the wild nest. This is one of the many fun facts about the sweet history of honey; on how it played high roles in the lives of kings, queens, ordinary people, priests and more as provided in the following texts.
The oldest remains of honey have been found in the country of Georgia. Archaeologists have found honey remains on the inner surface of clay vessels unearthed in an ancient tomb, dating back some 4,700 to 5,500 years. In ancient Georgia, honey was packed for people's journeys into the afterlife, and more than one type, too – along for the trip were linden, berry, and a meadow-flower variety.
Ancient Uses of Honey
Honey is used for embalming the dead by Western people in ancient Egypt. It was likewise used to sweeten cakes, biscuits, and was used in many other dishes. Most especially, honey or Min was offered to the fertility god of Egypt, Min.
Documentations of spiritual and therapeutic use of honey in ancient India was found in both the Vedas and the Ayurveda texts, both composed at least 4,000 years ago.
The work of many Roman authors like Athenaeus, Cato and Bassus mentioned the use of honey as a sweetening ingredient in Roman recipes. This is due to the absence of sugar that honey was used in place of it.
The art of beekeeping and the significance of the quality of the wooden box for beekeeping that can affect the quality of its honey were mentioned in the book on Golden Rules of Business Success written by Fan Li or Tao Zhu Gong. The art of beekeeping in ancient China has existed since time forgotten and appears to be barely discernible to its origin.
People of ancient Mesoamerica likewise cultivated honey of which they consider the bee as sacred. The Maya used honey from the stingless bee for culinary purposes and actually go on with doing so up to this date.
Honey proved to be essential even for the people of golden days for its many practical health uses. It was used to replace ointments for treating rashes and burns and also to help soothe sore throats when there are no other practices available.

BASIC MATHEMATICS is a suite of eight programs covering a range of mathematical concepts. The first four programs are reviewed this month, and the remaining ones will appear in the next CRASH Course.Angle Estimation gives the pupil practice in estimating acute, obtuse and reflex angles. At the start of the program, the teacher can choose the number of questions set, the type of angle which is to be drawn on the screen, the quadrant position of the first arm of the angle, and the margin of error permissible. A particularly useful feature of this package is that it can prepare a diagnostic report for the teacher afterwards.Digit Addition is a drill-and-practice program in which the pupil has to add a single-digit number to another single-digit or two-digit number. The teacher can determine the level of the program, the layout of the problems (horizontal or vertical), and there is a scoring system where the pupil loses 'lives' after too many incorrect answers.Unfortunately, apart from this little attempt has been made to motivate the pupil to do well. A livelier method of presentation, perhaps with a games format, would have made this program more appealing.Dice Multiplication is an exercise in snakes-and-ladders format. It the pupil gives the correct response to the multiplication question, he moves forward - if incorrect, backwards - and the aim is to reach the home base.Two dice appear on the screen, and the numbers shown are to be multiplied together.The program is flexible: it can be used at varying levels of difficulty lit goes as far as vulgar fractions and decimals). And Dice Multiplication is quite useful for less able pupils who need a great deal of repetitive practice, though it would be nice to have a two-player option in the game.Better graphics and the use of a range of colours would also have made the effect more imaginative.Fraction Identification presents the pupil with a series of shaded rectangles and asks him to identity the fraction which has been shaded from a choice of three answers. If he wishes, the pupil can choose to see some examples first before attempting the questions. The correct answer is shown on the screen if the child enters two wrong responses to a question, but no explanation is given.Once all the questions have been answered, the computer will give details of the user's performance and can also display the scores table. The teacher can't set up the exact fractions to be practised, but he can choose the number of questions (from five to 20) or wipe out the scores table.
Basic Mathematics: the maths is there, but the screen's too basic.

The graffiti clad exterior of Dub is deceptive, for inside the space that used to be SAAM new chef Kaleb Davis has worked to combine the ethos behind his 5star hotel experience with the relaxed friendly street vibe of New Zealand where the Hong Kong native grew up.
The result, in combination with long term friends Bibiana Ling and Alex Gardner, is a relaxed comfortable 25 seat venue that offers a small but varied menu of comfort food. But expect the menu to expand as Kaleb and Alex experiment with the latest in food preparation 'toys', from restaurant owner Catering Depot, in their new kitchen.
Dub invited bc to sample some of the dishes on their soft opening menu. Upon arrival we were served with a 3 roll bread basket which included a tasty squid ink roll that went nicely with the herb butter. All the wines are available by the glass.
For starters we had the quail scotch egg; quail eggs wrapped in homemade pork cheek sausage meat and then breaded and cooked and served on a bed of horseradish. A nice twist on the traditional scotch egg, with the diced cut pork cheek having a lovely texture and offering good strong but not overpowering flavours to start; with four halves to a portion there's plenty to go around.
Served with sourdough toast slices, the tartare is fresh and fairly spicy with the mix a little heavy on the onions and capers – which might not please those who prefer a more full meat tartare. The flavour is good and the portion size enough to share.
The menu currently consists of six main dishes Wagyu Beef & Pork Cheek Rissoles ($228), Crispy 24Hour Pork Belly ($228), Charred Spring Chicken ($228), Lamb T-Bones 140oz ($298) 1/2 Breaded Red Mullet Fillets ($198) andGoats Cheese Tortellini ($178). Fellow diners were effusive and vocal in their enjoyment of the pork belly and tortellini options.
bc tried the wagyu beef and pork rissoles served on bed of orzo pasta risotto with a smoked tomato sauce. Orzo pasta is a short cut pasta shaped like a rice grain, and makes for a risotto that's a little different to that your taste buds are expecting. The wagyu beef and pork cheek rissoles are cooked pink and full of flavour with the meat juices enriching the risotto. A very enjoyable dish, although the smoked flavour of the tomato sauce was barely noticeable amidst the other strong flavours of the rest of the dish.
bc can't remember seeing lamb served locally as a T-bone steak before and the concept is intriguing and tasty – here two t-bones are served with beautifully roasted potatoes. But it's a dish that's a work in progress, the two t-bones were cooked rare, almost blue for the thicker one, making the meat difficult to remove from the small bones. While Dub has a street vibe, it's not the sort of place where you feel comfortable picking up and chewing the bone to get at that lovely flavour. The sweet wine sauce served on the side was nice but overpowered the meaty flavour of the lamb. A slightly thinner cut of t-bones, maybe an inch thick rather two inches and the option to have the 't-bone' steaks cooked to ones preference would let this dish shine.
There's a range of sides including: Mac n Cheese Arancini ($68), Truffle Fries ($58), Eggplant and Buffalo Mozzarella salad ($128). While the dessert options include Pecan Pie ($88), Mango Creme Brulee ($88) and Apple Tarte Tatin with Salted Caramel Ice-cream ($88)
Dub is a friendly relaxed place with efficient but un-obtrusive service. The dishes are familiar but with a twist, the flavours complex but not so that you can't relax over a meal. Portion sizes are good, and plated with care. There's an understated attention to detail that promises more to come as Kaleb becomes comfortable with his kitchen and that subtle difference between working for someone and being Chef and Owner of his own restaurant.

It's something I don't talk about much.
In the past I referred to it as a stillbirth. It was a stillbirth. But it was also an induced labor in my third trimester, hence making it a third-trimester abortion.
When I discovered I was pregnant I was only 16 years old. I'm pretty sure Christopher was conceived on the night my mom walked in on my boyfriend and I having sex on the couch. I thought she was going to be at work but she came home early. He ran out the door and I cried while my mother yelled profanities at me. It was a horrible night for all of us.
I wasn't smart enough to consider pretending I was on my period. After a few months my mom asked me if I was pregnant. She was right but I denied it just the same. Tim and I had talked about giving the baby up for adoption but we were scared out of our minds and decided I'd get an abortion. Another month or so passed, I hadn't gotten an abortion and I couldn't deny my pregnancy to my mom anymore. I told her about my abortion idea. She said it was too late for that. I think Tim and I both breathed a sigh of relief, neither of us were really okay with the abortion.
One of my mom's coworkers knew a family who wanted to adopt. We didn't meet in person but exchanged letters and phone calls. Tim and I spoke to an attorney about the adoption procedure. My heart broke.
I finally went to the doctor who verified that I was indeed pregnant. I started taking prenatal vitamins and trying to eat healthier for the baby. I enjoyed being pregnant. It was a secret between Tim, my mom, and myself. I was due in October, people at school would find out then, I wasn't going to tell anyone. I decided to see my dad, stepmom, and sisters in May before I really started to show and then see them again after the baby was born. They didn't need to know, it wouldn't be that much longer than the normal amount of time that went by.
My mistake was that I broke down and told my Aunt Susie about my pregnancy. I told her everything. She wanted me to give the baby to her. I tried to explain that it was already set up with this other family and I thought it would be easier to let the baby go rather than have to see him/her and not be able to be the parent. This was a nice family who would love him/her with all their hearts.
Susie's son, my cousin Doug, had died the year before. She was angry that I refused. She went and told my dad what I planned to do. He and my stepmom came and confronted me in McDonalds of all places. They were heart broken, not disappointed and angry like I expected. My stepmom told me to hold my head high and not worry about what everyone would say or think.
I started to show and I also started to share our secret.
The doctor sent me for an ultrasound. Every ultrasound I had since then I held my breath until I could see the spine connected together like a zipper and heard the words, "Everything looks good." There was silence as the sonographer moved the wand over my belly and stared at the screen. "Is everything okay?" "Uh, yeah, I'll be right back." He went and got another person to come and look at the screen and move the wand some more. They knew something but didn't breathe a word. They told us not to worry and that the doctor would call us.
I don't remember when the doctor called or even what he said. What I heard was that my baby was not going to survive outside of the womb. This little creature who kicked like a star soccer player wasn't viable. My baby had spina bifida and was anecephalic. This means that instead of a formed skull to protect his brain all he had was a strip of skin to cover his brain. His head would cut off at the eyebrows. According to the doctor I had two options, go through the pregnancy as normal and perhaps the baby would live for a few days, he had never heard of such a child living longer than that, or we could induce labor and save time, money, and my emotions.
The family was out, they weren't going to pay for the birth of a baby who was dead. I didn't and still don't blame them, it was their heartbreak too.
After a few weeks along with some pressure from my mom and Tim, we set up the appointment for induction of labor. We had to go to Wichita for the procedure. The night before they stuffed an enormous seaweed tampon inside of me to stretch out my cervix and help me dilate. In the morning they pulled out the "tampon" and started the induction. I was over 6 months so the only way was for me to go through labor. I had plenty of painful contractions, the only difference was that they let me have medicine for the pain since they knew the outcome was going to be bad.
Finally, I gave birth to a little boy in a silent delivery room. We named him Christopher Thomas. The nurses cleaned him up, swaddled him in blankets and put a little beanie on his head. When the nurse laid him in my arms, she said we could take as much time as we wanted.
We did all the things parents do when there is a crying baby born. We counted his toes and fingers, I gently stroked and kissed his face. I told him how much I loved him.
This is what a third-trimester abortion looks like. It breaks the heart of each person involved. It's not an easy decision. It's hard on everyone, including the doctors and nurses. Our nurses were wonderful and after they took Christopher back, they took pictures of him for us.
Each August I experience a bought of depression. Each year I mark his birthday. Each holiday I think of who he might have been.
This is what a third-trimester abortion looks like.

I remember when you told me about Christopher and you asked if I would like to see his pictures. I did not want to, but I did for you as I felt it was special and important. I never forgot him nor the pictures. What really hit me though was the love you had for him. And the pain you had with losing him. Abortion or stillbirth, you lost someone you loved and had living in you.
Love you Crystal

Incomplete Dominance & Codominance
Section 8-4 in Book Pgs
Review of Mendel's Principles
Genes are passed parents offspring; get one allele from each parent During Meiosis, the alleles for a gene segregate from each other. During Meiosis, genes independently assort with each other.
Exceptions to Mendel's principles
Sometimes, there is no dominant or recessive gene, or the trait is controlled by many alleles or genes.
Incomplete Dominance In Incomplete Dominance, every genotype has its own phenotype. (One allele not completely dominant over the other.) Third phenotype that is a blending of the parental traits. (2 alleles produce 3 phenotypes.) Result: Heterozygous phenotype somewhere in between homozygous phenotype.
1. Incomplete Dominance Examples: Trait: Flower Color
Expressions: Red x White Pink RR= Red; RW= pink; WW= white straight hair, wavy, curly
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance In codominance, neither allele are dominant; both are expressed. A cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces offspring with both phenotypes of the parental traits shown.
2. Codominance Both alleles contribute to the phenotype.
Example: In come chickens Black Chicken x White Speckled Chicken
YOU tell me which type of dominance…
Type of Dominance? Incomplete Dominance!
Type of Dominance? Incomplete Dominance!
Test Cross (Back Cross)…
Used to determine whether an individual is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. RULES: Always cross unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive. Observe (count) large numbers of offspring to insure accuracy in determining the unknown genotype. Then… if ANY offspring show the recessive trait, the unknown genotype is heterozygous if ALL the offspring have the dominant trait, the unknown genotype is homozygous dominant
Example: TT or Tt You would cross both with tt.
What would you expect the outcome to be?
