1840 v2.0 / With the original versions of these pictures I was not able to use all the shots because they where damaged. But now, four years later, and with Photo Shop CS3, I’m able to rescue some really great pictures and show them now with pride. / This series was done in the middle of the woods, around the middle of Dec, 2002. It was freezing! The hot chocolate helped though. Most of these pictures are with Theak & Alex standing together, this was not a direction, and they were doing this out of a need for warmth! Half of these pictures were taken using a Nikon F, or F2 I believe, (no markings on the camera), and the other half with a Canon G3 digital camera. / Great makeup job by Rhiana, and of course, the whole look and feel of this shoot would not have been possible if not for the styling of Elisa. / Photo by Jef Harris / http://www.jefharris.net

Taken from the roof top garden of Galleries La Fayette (we think) looking down the tree bordered Rue Tronchet toward Madeline Church, and behind that the golden dome of Napoleon’s tomb with the ever present Eiffel Tower in the background far right. Buyers Please Note : This image is processed to imitate a painting, as in by this close up excerpt from the original. The artist suggests the following artworks as companion pieces.

2.14pm – Wednesday afternoon The keys on this plastic alphabet are sticky. The seat has no back and the minutes are expensive. The sub audible hum of ten thousand anxious people reverberate through the terminal floor. The timeless neon glow of Gates 31-40, Baggage Claim, Toilets and a Foodcourt burn into my pores. A voice informs me that Mr Nigel Sankey should really hurry along to Gate 36, because all the people already wedged onto the plane are getting seriously annoyed. In another life our original flight had not suffered the generic ‘engineering difficulties’ and we were already home, but in this life we were destined to spend half a day in Sydney airport at an internet cafe, so still in this life I wrench the keyboard from a neighbouring computer and walk resolutely towards the mannequins at the Virgin Service Desk, a blank look in my eye. / How did it come to this? 7.55am – Earlier that same day El Presidente and I burst into the breakfast room of the Shangri La hotel in Sydney, where NetGuide are holding the ceremony of their yearly internet awards. The room goes slightly quiet, the dog in the corner ceases playing the piano, and the 100% suited and booted occupants turn to look at these last minute arrivals, one in a vibrant red limited edition RedBubble tee, the other in a faux-Napoleonic military jacket. I wave my cane in the direction of some empty seats and we take our place between the MD of eBay and a man from the Bureau of Meteorology. A general air that we may be ‘chancers’ prevails. The ceremony begins, and decorum is held in fine corporate silence, broken by an intermittent golf clap as another nervous individual waddles up to claim their glass shard. The 14th prize is for Best New Site, and it is won by a company called Web Menu, but also has a Highly Commended Category, which RedBubble wins. None of the other categories really have second place awards, and so we still appear like we are here for the free breakfast. The final two awards, however, are a little more prestigious, and they begin with the ‘People’s Choice’ which NetGuide are very proud of, and after building it up to unprecendented heights they announce that RedBubble has conquered it without question. You can hear the room inhale in unison, then vigourously clap. Afterwards everyone was very friendly, coming over to congratulate and talk details, I was even accosted by one man in the gents but I requested he wait until I finish, I think he had something to do with the ceremony. We hand out some t-shirts and greetings cards and even some bubbles, which could be seen floating around the room towards the end of the event. 9.45am After a suitably cheesy photoshoot, we jump into a taxi and head for the airport and hopefully, a quick flight home. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— I’d just like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the whole team, to thank all of you, and not just all of you who managed to read this whole post, or even all of you who voted for us, but ALL of you. Because you really do make this site as vibrant as it is, without you we’re nothing, well, not nothing, we’d be a bunch of nerds in a room with some flashy computers and an endless biscuit supply, but I don’t think there’s an award for that. / So thanks and don’t stop now, we’re just getting warmed up. onetonshadow, and everybody else Oh and big up to NetGuide for the whole event, bacon and free mousemats, here’s what they have to say about it Addendum / I’d also like to thank the mighty Anne van Alkemade for stumbling across the competition in the first place and alerting our eager community. May your days be filled with fine wines and tasty cakes.

The Battle of Waterloo occured on the 18th June 1815 and marked the end of the French domination of Europe under Napoleon Bonaparte. It was a coalition of British, Russian, Austrian and Prussians under the leadership of The Duke of Wellington. Waterloo Bay was visited on the anniversary of this battle thus the current nomenclature. This picture was taken in the pre dawn light using a very long exposure from near Little Waterloo Bay looking along this incredibly ruggard coastline towards Cape Wellington.

I have a Napoleon fixation. Wouldn’t call it a complex, exactly. I think has something to do with the fact that I’m five feet tall. Maybe it is a complex. C’est la vie.

In 1670, Louis XIV – the Sun King – founded Les Invalides near what was then called the Grenelle Plain. An old soldiers home, it was funded by a five year levy on the salaries of soldiers currently serving in the army at that time. The first stones were laid in 1671, for what was to become a complex providing quarters for 4,000. Construction followed plans drawn up by Libéral Bruant, and was completed in 1676.

Acrylic on canvas. I redecorated my bedroom and wanted something new.

There’s a reason for the title, and it’s not pomposity (excuse the pun). The writing across the image is in fact the collection of signatures from the will of Madame de Pompadour.

Air Commodore (ret) Philip Opas, at the Melbourne Anzac Day March, 25th April 2008. / When I asked this very nice old gentleman if it would be OK if I took his photo, I didn’t have any idea just who he was. After some research I am amazed at the life that this man has led. I was also saddened to find that he passed away just 4 months after this shot, in August 2008 at 91 years of age. OBITUARY (OCTOBER 3, 2008) / PHILIP HENRY NAPOLEON OPAS / 1917-2008 TONY BURKE FEW other Australians have been so closely linked with as many diverse names and events that captured national attention as Dr Philip Opas, who died after a long illness, aged 91. His name will always be associated with his most notorious client, Ronald Ryan, the last man to be hanged in Australia, in 1966, but not many would know that as a young track rider, he twice rode iconic racehourse Phar Lap. He was also at the liberation of the infamous World War II Japanese prisoner of war camp at Changi in Singapore, and kept the Samurai sword of the commander for many years before returning it to the man’s family in Japan. Perhaps his greatest silent legacy was as a representative of the Australian government, when he was sent to war-shattered Europe to recruit skilled labour – that pool of immigrants who helped to build Australia into a vibrant society and provided many leading lights of successive generations. Despite his many achievements, Opas always rued the hanging of Ryan – an event that changed his own life. He was convinced that Ryan could not have fired the fatal shot in 1965 that killed Pentridge warder George Hodson while he was escaping with fellow inmate Peter Walker. In his autobiography, Throw Away My Wig, published in 1997, Opas begins his life story with an account of the day Ryan was hanged, in February 1967. “The death of the unfortunate Ronald Ryan affected me deeply. It certainly changed my life,’’ Opas wrote. Opas’ life was divided into three parts: sport, the RAAF and the law – and he assigned them all the same importance. He was a great lawyer and a great athlete. His had a lifelong association with sport – as a sprinter, cricketer, footballer and sports administrator, becoming chairman of the Victorian Amateur Athletic Association. At the 1956 Olympics, he was chief manager of the athletics competition. When the Olympics official due to present the gold medal to Harold Connolly of the United States for his win in the hammer throw was nowhere to be found, Opas stepped in and did the honours, causing huge public controversy. Opas, who was born in Melbourne to Joseph and Sarah (nee Goodman), the eldest of five siblings, was educated to Melbourne Grammar (1925-31), but left school early during the Depression and worked as a law clerk with Roy Schilling. He completed his matriculation by correspondence. In 1939, he married Stella Sonenberg, the daughter of criminal lawyer NH Sonenberg. Within weeks of his marriage, he enlisted in the RAAF and served in New Guinea during World War II. His work with the RAAF earned him spectacular promotion and by July 1969, he became judge advocate general, a post he held for 15 years until he retired as an air commodore in June 1976. He was immensely proud of his service, saying in his notes that “I attained the highest rank ever held by a Jew – air commodore, the equivalent of a one-star general.” Opas was awarded an OBE in 1969 for services to law and the RAAF. He was initially in favour of capital punishment, then later became a strong opponent. And he also opposed pomposity in the law. He was a keen letter writer to the newspapers and believed the wigs and gowns associated with the law should have been abandoned long ago. He loved painting, poetry, cricket, lecturing at U3A and supervising doctoral candidates. He also wrote significant articles for the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, and was a proud and active member of the Victorian Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women’s Association, and served as its president in 1953. The ANZAC Day parade was an important part of his life. At 80, he toured with a Cricket Australia masters team as a wicket-keeper. He was a lifelong Geelong supporter, and claimed to have been the team’s mascot when they won the 1925 grand final he was certainly at the MCG when the club won last year’s grand final. He loved words and language, authored seven books, including Here’s To The Next Man That Dies, The Law Has Long Ears, and The Great Ring In! His wife of 66 years, Stella, died three years ago. He is survived by his daughters, former County Court judge Lynnette Schiftan, and psychologist Rosemary Starrfour, four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Tony Burke is president of the Law Institute of Victoria. ADAM BRAND / click to listenThe ANZAC Take a look at my other photos / Add me to your watchlist /

Who knows their typefaces well enough to get this?

Napoleon cast in a statue as Julius Caesar outside the Arenenberg Chateau in Switzerland. Bit sad really. But this megalomaniac based himself on Julius. Yes, rather sad really, especially as Julius tried to crush Gaul/France where Napoleon came from. Interestingly, his nephew, Napoleon the III (who also lived here) erected a statue to Vercingetorix, Julius Caesar’s enemy (hence the pun in the Asterix the Gaul cartoons). Vercingetorix was imprisoned by Julius for five years and then strangled in front of the crowd when Julius needed a publicity boost. Roman Civilization??? I think not! Give me Vercingetorix and his Gauls any day! Napoleon the III

The Louvre, Paris, taken Feb 25/09 / Jacques-Louis David’s Consecration of the Emperor Napoleon I and Coronation of the Empress Josephine in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris on 2 December 1804. 1808. Oil on canvas. 621×979 cm. / This painting is also found at Versailles. According to the precis verbal of the master of ceremonies, Segur, the ceremony took place in accordance with the plans. After taking the crowns and other regalia from the altar and blessing them, the Pope returned them to the altar and then took his seat. Napoleon advanced and took a crown known as the Charlemagne crown, though the actual French Coronation crown known by that name had been destroyed during the French Revolution and this crown was a new crown made to look Medieval, from the altar and placed it on his own head. He then returned to the altar and replaced the so called Charlemagne crown with a laurel wreath made of gold of the type worn by Roman Emperors. Napoleon then once again took up the Charlemagne Crown and walk to the kneeling Josephine. As he held the crown up, Napoleon stated that he was crowning Josephine as his wife, not by her own right. This is the moment illustrated in David’s famous painting of the coronation. Napoleon is wearing his personal golden laurel wreath crown and holding up the newly made Coronation or Charlemagne Crown. He then touched the coronation crown to Josephine’s head.

If any should force entrance he might see there / One buried yet not dead, / Before whose face I no more bow my head / Or bend my knee there; But often in my worn life’s autumn weather / I watch there with clear eyes, / And think how it will be in Paradise / When we’re together. Words by Christina Rossetti Music – Ravel This painting is dedicated to Napoleon Painting using acrylics, wax, graphite and inks – 102×42cm

Les Invalides in Paris, France consists of a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement containing museums and monuments, all relating to France’s military history, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building’s original purpose. It is also the burial site for some of France’s war heroes. The most notable tomb at Les Invalides is that of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) in the crypt under Mansart’s dome. Napoleon was initially interred on Saint Helena, but King Louis-Philippe arranged for his remains to be brought to St Jerome’s Chapel in Paris in 1840. A renovation of Les Invalides took many years, but in 1861 Napoleon was moved to the most prominent location under the dome at Les Invalides.
