James Bay Photography Project: Weeks 3 & 4
By joel on Jan 30, 2009 | In Images
I was on the mainland last week for my brother's wedding. I brought my camera along, but was so busy I didn't even think to take pictures for a few days. I didn't have quite as much raw material as I would like, so I decided to combine weeks three and four into one post.
See the originals of these photographs, as well as the rest of my snaps from the past week on my flickr page. As always comments and inspiration are always welcome. Feel free to leave comments below, or with the images on my flickr page.

I rolled my eyes at her.
"Just read the card," she told me.
Freedom? Freedom in Self?
THE HORROR AT SHOAL POINT

THE HORROR AT SHOAL POINT
((this is James Bay Culture Blog #11))
Dear James Bay,
It's.... be-ginning to look A LOT
like... Fish Men...
These are lyrics.
The tune is a familiar Christmas carol perverted into a strange, slimy homage on the album "A Very Scary Solistice" by HPLHS. The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.
Lovecraft, of course, is the grand-father of the American horror story -- a nervously agitated pulp-fiction author who twisted the form of literature in order to project his personal vexations onto a cosmic stage. Imagine him as a neurotic Edgar Allen Poe trying to describe the plot of a David Lynch film. Or think of him as the Rod Serling of the 1930s -- the authoritative narrator who wants to take you on a short journey into a realm where sanity, reality and language can no longer be trusted. The original Twilight Zone.
But with more Fish Men.
Overloaded with Polystyrene?
By reed on Jan 19, 2009 | In Environment
The Hartland landfill processes 140,000 tonnes of solid waste per year, of which 1.7% is either polystyrene (PS) or expanded polystyrene (EPS).1,2 This doesn't sound like a great deal when measured in terms of mass. By volume, however, this converts to approximately 11,951 m3 (excluding pre- and post-burial compaction).*
Polystyrene is a long chain hydrocarbon with every other carbon connected to a phenyl group. Two different types of polystyrene are used in most packaging applications: foamed or expanded (EPS), and non-expanded (PS). EPS is utilized for meat trays, appliance and electronic packaging and take-out containers, while PS is used for plastic cutlery, disposable plates and CD jewel cases.3
