Speaking about how mixed the Balkan countries were… with Croats, Serbs and Bosnians living in Bosnia Herzegovina under a complicated federal system… the Bosnians in Novi Pazar… the Serbians in Kosovo… people having to go back and forth between countries for education, work, to see family… I shared my observation with one of them: “It’s like there are no borders. In the evening we met up with her friends at a cool studenty bar. With its chaos, the condition of its buildings and its roads - some of which were still not tarmacked - Pristina felt more like a city in a third world country than in Europe.Īs it happens, at the hotel we met another Swedish girl, Emma, who was living at the hotel whilst doing an internship at Cultural Heritage without Borders. We were finally in Europe’s newest country, which had declared its independence in Feb 2008. “Kosovo!” we both said, standing by the side of the road where the minibus had dropped us off. ![]() We were surprised that the officer checking our passports at the Kosovo border was Swedish, and he was surprised to see a fellow Swede.īy the time we arrived in Pristina, it was light, and we were shattered and happy. We also saw some buildings with bullet holes (but not as many as in Mostar) and cemeteries where death dates on gravestones were between 19.įrom Sarajevo Elisabeth and I took an overnight bus to Novi Pazar in Serbia, from where we got a minibus to Pristina, Kosovo, in the middle of the night. It seemed to be a meeting point for the eccentric people of Sarajevo. It was a place you would expect to see in Paris. In the evening we went to one called Zlatna Ribica, which was cluttered with antique furniture. I also met a religious guy from Turkey going to university there - given that Turkey had larger and more internationally renowned universities, I thought it was a curious choice to study in Sarajevo. Pointing at a rundown sweetshop, one of them was sharing her childhood memories. Walking on the main pedestrianised street, I overheard the conversation of two elderly ladies in western clothes, complaining about how more women now were covered than in the past. The old town had been renovated with donations from conservative cities in Turkey, and resembled an Anatolian town rather than a Balkan one. There were signs that Sarajevo was once upon a time more multicultural than it was now. It was moving to notice that almost all people had died in 1992, during the war. That night we also came across our first cemetery in former Yugoslavia. By the time we reached the top we started hearing voices and felt it was better to come back in daytime. As we climbed the stairs, it became darker and more precarious. There were also holes in the floors and no handrails on the stairs. The floors were covered in debris and broken glass. We couldn’t tell whether the walls had been blown out or construction had never been completed. It was actually just the shell of a building. This was the building from which snipers fired on people during the war. On the way to the hostel, the owner who came to pick us up, pointed at a tall building, saying, “That’s the snipers’ building.”Īfter dropping off our bags, that was the first place went to. She invited me to join her at the hostel she was going to stay at. To which she replied: “From Herzegovina.”īefore we arrived in Mostar, I started talking to Elisabeth, a journalist from Sweden who was sitting behind me. On the minibus I asked the local girl sitting next to me whether she was from Bosnia or Croatia. It was when the minibus crossed the border into Bosnia-Herzegovina that the journey really began. Split was a pleasant Mediterranean town with a white Roman Palace in its centre. From Zadar by minibus, via Split, I first went to Mostar. ![]() ![]() They typically plug into your computer’s USB connection and self-install. SD card readers and low cost and easy to acquire.

![]() It’s not the shape (a fairly standard petal design), but the fine little details. This is a very classy approach to lens design that borrows a page from Zeiss more than any other design. ![]() The only real missing element is weather sealing. I will expand on that hood in just a moment, but let me first say that I find the entirely of this lens’ designed very, very pleasing. ![]() The final flare is to the front of the lens where the lens hood bayonet attaches. Making a fine adjustment is somewhat difficult in that range, although this can be adjusted somewhat using the Sigma USB dock (more on that in a moment). Manually focusing the lens is also limited by a very short “throw” distance, particularly between about 10 feet and infinity. I find the damping a little on the heavy/stiff side, but on the plus side it doesn’t feel “gritty” at all. The movement isn’t as smooth as the manual focus only Zeiss lenses I am currently also reviewing, but it is better than all of the other 50mm AF lenses that I can compare it to. It has a nicely ribbed, slightly rubberized texture. The next bevel moves into the slightly wider focus ring. The HSM (Hypersonic Motor) allows for full time manual override. The first bevel flares from the lens mount section into the area of the distance window and the single switch that controls focus (Auto/Manual). The lens has four distinct bevels that flow into a wider section as you move towards the front element. On the bottom of the barrel is an 014 which clearly and obviously states the year of manufacture (bravo for simplicity!) An elegant little silver circle with the letter A (for ART) rests next the focus distance window. Less obvious is a very small sized serial number in a grey text that is only obvious under close examination. The lens has small white text on one side that says, “Made in Japan”, an understated SIGMA brand on the top, and then the lens designation and filter thread size near the distance window of the top of the barrel. Yes, the lens is essentially all black with some small white print in a few points, but the blend of textures keeps the lens from being at all monochromatic or boring. ![]() The “flocked” finish is a thing of the past (good riddance, I say), as is the gold ring that seems almost garish now when presented with this sleek, understated new design. There is a very pleasing blend of glossy, matte, and ribbed surfaces that has both a modern yet elegant design. I will confess to having spent some minutes just looking at this lens and admiring it. Sigma not only dramatically improved upon their older design them (which frankly I was not a huge fan of), they have designed some of the best looking modern lenses, period. A few of these categories are admittedly vague (what exactly makes a lens “Contemporary”?), but there is no arguing with the direction the design team has taken with the lenses designated “Art”. Sigma adopted a completely new company philosophy and design ethos a couple of years ago with its three pronged approach of “Art”, “Contemporary”, and “Sport” lines. The most recent addition to the “ART” series is the 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens, and it is, in most ways, a winner. ![]() They completely revamped their global vision and have begun producing lenses that are achieving both critical and commercial success, not to mention putting a huge amount of pressure upon Canon and Nikon. At some point the brain trust in the corporation realized that being a third party manufacturer didn’t mean always having to produce a cheaper, inferior product. Sigma has been on a tear in the past two years. ![]() ![]() ![]() King producer Bill Szymczyk does a masterful job bringing it all together, and the band photos on back look.roguish. There is so much to this album: the Janis Joplin standard "Raise Your Hand" written by Eddie Floyd, Albert Collins' "Sno-Cone" from their first album, and "Truck Drivin' Man" beating Bachman-Turner Overdrive to the punch. A precursor to 1977's title track, "Monkey Island," "Chimes" gives this enigmatic band a chance to jam out slowly and lovingly over its groove. About three and a half minutes longer than the five-minute original, it is one of many highlights on this revealing pair of discs. "Detroit Breakdown" rocks and grooves, with tons of audience applause.Wolfy and the polished authority of his monologues are in command as the band oozes into "Chimes" from 1973's Ladies Invited. Sides one and two are great, and three and four are even better. Can you believe there is absolutely no overlap from the first or third live album on this double disc, which came in between (except for "Looking for a Love," uncredited, which they slip into the intro of "Houseparty" on side two)? The Rhino CD contains Jeff Tamarkin's liner notes, while the original Atlantic album has an exquisite gatefold chock-full of photos, and inner sleeves with priceless band memo stuff à la Grand Funk's Live Album. Geils standards, and none of them overlap on the 1982 EMI single live disc, Showtime, chock-full of their latter-day classics. Here's the beautiful dilemma with the Geils band: Live: Full House, recorded in Detroit in April of 1972, contains five songs that became J. There is great power in these grooves recorded over two nights, November 15 and November 19, at the now deconstructed Boston Garden and in Detroit at Cobo Hall. Geils Band released its second in-concert document in four years, Blow Your Face Out. Double-album live sets came into vogue in 1976 after Peter Frampton's sales went through the roof for A&M, Bob Seger found fame with Live Bullet on Capitol, and the J. ![]() ![]() ![]() Use the mouse or arrow keys to scroll through the options and left-click or press "Enter" to choose an option."Escape" or right-click will access the main game menu. ![]() Press "Enter" to check something on the map.You can walk around by using the mouse to left-click on your desired location or by using the arrow keys.The glove icon indicates you can grab an item, the bubble icon shows you can speak to a character, the eyes icon shows you can read an item, the magnifying glass icon to examine something and the boots icon shows if it's a spot where you can jump.Using the mouse will allow you to see several icons that give information about the game.It is recommended to play Easy mode first and move to Normal or Hard once you are more familiar with the gameplay.The mode you pick will determine the number of Animal Kings you will be allowed to fight at the end of the game (4 in Very Easy or Easy, 6 on Normal and 8 on Hard).There are 4 types of Game Modes: Very Easy, Easy, Normal and Hard. ![]()

I had seen Nirvana a few times before when they played West Coast dates with Sonic Youth. We had always talked about doing a longer project together and literally two weeks before their summer festival tour started in August of 1991, I got a call: “Do you want to come and shoot stuff?” So I grabbed my Super 8 and a passport and took off. ![]() And they had asked me to do a few music videos for Goo in 1990.

At first the collection was for his own use but ".when he learned that the income from David Scott Mitchell's bequest to the Public Library of New South Wales could not be spent on pictures, he 'decided to give special attention to them'". "Dixson's collecting soon widened to include many formats – not only books and manuscripts but pictures, coins, medals, curios, relics, postage stamps, bookplates and maps." He especially valued works in pristine condition and would rebind volumes showing signs of wear. Also included are significant collections relating to Australian literature, theatre, art, architecture, sport, natural history, Indigenous material and biography. Collection strengths include the exploration of the Pacific, Antarctica and Australia. Together with the earlier bequest of David Scott Mitchell the printed book collections represent the published history of Australia and especially New South Wales of the time.
