PESO 2017 - Sakura! - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

On my own this evening, but a friend stopped by so we had a pint or two in the 
hotel bar. Then Mona headed off home and I meandered up the street to the 
Japanese restaurant for a bit of dinner.

Women pick up men in the Bigg Market, not the other way round.  That line would
see you waking up in a dumpster the next day.

That is really cool!
It has an unusual perspective / POV combined with reflectiong, which on 
one hand makes it very interesting (and I love reflections), on another, - 
makes it somewhat "uneasy" (i.e. challenging your brain), but in a good way.

I keep coming back to look at it for the second day.

Thanks for sharing,

Igor

Re: PESO 2017 - Shimmer - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I'd love to do and see everything, but I know my limits about what I can take 
in for a day or a half a day. Cobh sounds fantastic, but I'll need to book 
another trip here to see all of that. I can't take in so much in one outing, 
and we'll likely have two to four hours there at most on this round. Presuming 
we get there, I'll see if I can see one thing and get a photo or two worth 
sharing...!

LOL! Oh, I know what you mean. I've kind of gotten used to the fact that I'll 
just not be able to understand a good bit of what's going on, particularly when 
there's a bunch of energetic Leprechauns bantering about at high speed together 
sitting at the table. It's amusing as all heck to listen to them, regardless. I 
participate as best I can...  :-)

Cobh is perhaps the most colorful town in Ireland, and it has escellent
museums on the Irish Famine, the emigration, the Lusitania and the
Titanic.  St Coleman's Cathedral sits on a hill overlooking the town and
the harbor.  When we were there, we saw a wedding in progress and evn
managed to get the bride, in her white gown, in one of our photos.

When we were last in Cork, I couldn't understand most of the locals.  Their
brogue is very heavy, and they use a lot of local expressions.  The radio
announcer announce the time as "Tree Turdee."

Thanks! 

Not yet... Jack mentioned it to me, I think it's a train ride there and back. 
Might get there after Christmas. 

Today was mostly "wake up late, breakfast, meet up with Leprechauns, take a 
walk, more recovery and rest". We're going to dinner then the theatre a little 
bit. :-)

Re: PESO 2017 - Godfrey On Travel - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

LOL! Thank you both. 

I must have been the most oblivious person back then. I never thought I was 
that attractive, didn't realize that I was gay until fifteen years later. I 
just always wondered why my relationships, such as they were, never went 
anywhere. My buddy Harvey saw this photo shortly after I bought the new 
motorcycle and said, "Damn, you were one hell of a cutie then!" I turned to him 
and said, "If someone, ANYone, had told me that back then, it would have saved 
me from fifteen years more confusion." 

Ach, such it is. 

Anyway, it was such a joy to be out on the road again and feeling great. Can't 
wait for next season when I can do some traveling on the motorcycle too. 

The trip was not without its costs: I just dropped the car off at the detailed 
for a thorough cleaning, polish, and wax to get rid of the last of the calicchi 
mud on the undercarriage from New Mexico, and to repair the damage to the 
finish (and blow the half ton of dirt out from under the hood) caused by the 
wind/sand storm at the Nevada/California border. And I just ordered replacement 
rear tires—burned them down to the carcass with all the high speed, coarse road 
surfaces. 

I'll get to more photos after I get back home this afternoon. I noticed a few 
more that I liked when I did a quick review yesterday. :-)

Thanks, yes it's extraordinary how painful it is. My present bout has almost 
cleared up, thank God. I take allopurinol daily to keep the uric acid levels 
down. During this flare-up I was given a course of colchicine, and also have a 
course to keep on standby.

I'll be in France over Christmas, and again at New Year. But later in the year 
would be nice if possible. I may retire to France next year, so you could even 
come over there.

LOL! Thanks sir! 
What I keep in mind as I work through all this physical stuff is the Godfrey I 
recall from seeing this photograph:

never mind the hair!

It's good to have a goal… :D

Re: PESO 2017 - Godfrey On Travel - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Bob, 

Thanks!

Ugh, you've been busy with medical horror. Sorry to hear of the gout … I get 
that occasionally too, it really and truly sucks. It's been a while since a 
flare-up hit—I take great pains to avoid them. Hopefully it will pass quickly 
and you can get back to "life as it ought to be."

Getting home again consumed most of yesterday, but I did get out on the 
motorcycle for a few errands and then for dinner with my moto friends. Damn, I 
just love to ride two wheelers, whether powered or not! Racer is just such a 
happy machine, he loves to rev and rev. Today I have a 15-20 mile bicycle ride 
planned, depending on how late it is when I drag my butt away from my desk; 
there's still a bunch of stuff to manage preparatory to the holiday trip coming 
up. 

It would be great to go for a bike ride over there … or for you to head over 
here for a ride. I know the local bicycle shop does rentals. We have to think 
about that for some time in the future when you're fit again … and I'm more fit 
so I can keep up with you! :-)

(I'll be over to Ireland and the Isle of Man for the X-day/New Years 
festivities, but I had to defer travel to your locale until the next trip. So 
the opportunity might arise later in 2018.)

Feel better, 
G

That's great to hear; it really shows.

I've been going in the opposite direction, with no cycling since September 
because of surgery, which was immediately followed by a heavy cold, and I'm now 
still in the throes of a gout attack which has lasted over two weeks and which 
was indescribably brutal at its height. 

Hopefully I can soon start to rebuild some fitness, and  we can ride together

Thank you for noticing! 

I've gained about 10-15 lbs of muscle mass while losing 40+ lbs on the scale, 
according to my physician. The ebike I bought in April shows 1000 miles on the 
odometer now. When I got it, I needed the electrics to be able to ride at all. 
Now I often go out for a 10-15 mile ride and forget to turn the electrics on… 
:-) 

My goal is to let go of another 60 lbs weight while continuing to increase 
muscle mass, stamina, and flexibility. It's going at the rate of about 1 to 1.5 
lbs per week; by next August I'll be near where I want at this rate. 

I have a nice stitched panorama across the entire crater coming up. I should be 
posting it in a day or so …

PESO 2017 - Godfrey On Travel - GDG

While driving back from Houston, I stopped to see Meteor Crater in Arizona. 
While there, I saw a guy who had a nice Nikon camera and looked like he knew 
what he was doing with it. So I set up my camera for focus and exposure and 
asked him to snap my picture. It worked! I thought this was one of the better 
portraits of me made in recent years … and, stupidly, I forgot to get his name

Ken, I actually did that on one rendering. To my eye, it lost something in the 
process … so I put them back. I like the notion that they convey: that you're 
at a public viewpoint looking out over the Coachella Valley and into the desert 
beyond. They give a near-frame reference point to gauge the distance, at least 
to my eye.

The original res merged raw file is both highly detailed and enormous—about 
17,300x3700 pixels; about 57 Mpixels—so I'm going to see about making a 13x56 
inch-sized canvas print.  :-)

onwards!

Very nice image, well seen and captured.

If it were mine I'd crop out the man made structures at both the LH & RH

Road trip to SoCal last weekend!

I drove out of Palm Springs on my way to San Diego heading south and west 
on Hwy 74 over the mountains. This is the view back to the north from the 
top of the ridge on Hwy 74 looking towards Palm Springs and the Palm 
Desert. Time is about 8:45 in the morning.


 https://flic.kr/p/21nhq88

(The image on Flickr.com is a 3000 pixel wide presentation. The full 
resolution image is about 17,000 pixels wide. I'm going to make a large 
print... :-)


enjoy!

Re: PESO 2017 - 082 - GDG

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Very interesting and very colorful.

When I worked for a bank, we had a building with offices in the basement.
One of them had only a small high window and tended to be damp.  The
occupant called me in to look at the corner, where several small mushrooms
were growing out of the carpeting.

I have an image of that somewhere, but probably not digital or findable.

I first met Moss at a Saab press dinner at Hilton Head. Eric Carlsson, 
Saab's rally star, was there, and would take the journalists for hair 
raising rides the next day at a Georgia racetrack. (He put one car on its 
roof with a scribe seated beside him and teased me because I politely 
declined an invitation to try for rollover number two.) Anyway to get to the 
point, Eric's sister was the wife of Stirling Moss, so Eric had invited them 
to the Hilton Head bash. As journalists pressed Moss for tales of his days 
behind the wheel he would steer the conversation back to Carlsson and Saab. 
And of course there are plenty of Eric "on the roof" Carlsson stories out 
there. Good guy, Moss. Carlsson too.

a growing bump on his head

Nice pics btw!


Thanks Cotty!

My 'moment with the star' was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed some 
miserable, pissing-down-rain day in the 1990s. I and my friends are 
slogging our way up through snot-slick muddy paths when a small scooter 
came zinging down the path towards us. It was moving way too fast and we 
jumped backwards off the path to get out of the way … Two of us fell down 
in the process and the scooter slid to a halt practially over me.


"Sorry about that, chaps! It almost got away from me in this muck! Let me 
help you up!" and the hand of septeganarian Sir Stirling Moss reached down 
to assist me to my feet. I was covered with mud down my right side and I 
think all the dredgings of Istanbul were in my right shoe. "Thank you, 
sir! And could I have your autograph in the mud on my shirt, please?" I 
grinned at the man. We both laughed and he signed my program. He hung with 
us a few moments than raced off for whatever appointment he had already 
been late for.


Somewhere in my mess I still have that program. :-)

Re: PESO 2017 - W196 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Thanks Paul! 

Yes indeed, got it on all points: 1954-55, #16 was Stirling Moss—I verified 
with Michael Riedner's "Mercedes-Benz W196: Last of the Silver Arrows". And the 
car was noted to be on loan from the Indianapolish Motor Speedway Museum. A 
beautiful thing indeed, and the car of my greatest fantasies when I was a child 
along with the 300SLR and 300SL Gullwing coupe. 

I've been a W196 groupie for a long time. ;-)

There are so many amazing things about these cars… I didn't expect to see one 
this morning. Canepa Motors is kind of a Porsche mecca, but as soon as I saw 
the W196 I was done there. After seeing it, all the Porsches and other exotica 
looked the same to me. I just wish I'd had the presence of mind to knock the 
ISO setting up past 200 to get a little less camera motion blur. I was too 
excited to see it…! I didn't even think to switch to the 35mm lens, just made 
two exposures with the 50mm and stitched them together. It was as if I believed 
the car would evaporate before my eyes. 

such it is.

Nice. Excellent photos for a display setting. It is of course one of the 
1954-55 Grand Prix cars. I believe the 16 car was driven by Stirling Moss. It 
usually resides in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. But is often loaned 
out for shows. It dominated Grand Prix racing until the horrific accident at Le 
Mans led Mercedes to quite all motorsports. It is notable for many reasons, but 
perhaps most importantly, from a technical point of view, is that it was the 
first car to use direct fuel injection, which didn’t become an industry norm 
for another 60 years.

PESO 2017 - Lamborghini - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Something a little different… 

I was going through one of my boxes marked "Old loose prints - 1960s to 1980s" 
and found all of the photos I made of the Lamborghini 350GT that I owned in 
1975. The originals are only small machine prints and not terribly great 
quality at that… But I scanned them, did a minor bit of color correction, and 
composited them into a nice little display (along with the snap I scanned a few 
years ago of me driving the car) that I can frame and hang in my office next to 
my 1:43 scale model car collection. :-)

  https://flic.kr/p/ULXHTA

Seeing these photos brings back a ton of memories! 

onwards!
