12PAof2020 - January theme: Shoes
This is my take on the theme for January of shoes. I was riding my bike down the Eastlink trail and saw a pair of converse all stars. This was taken while I was riding with my mobile and has a nice segue into next months theme of shadows...

Australia day and what better thing to do than visit the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (MADE) near Ballarat. This is what is left of the magnificent Eureka flag on display there. You will note that bits are missing. This is because the local authorities gave pieces as souvenirs to visiting (mostly British) dignitaries. There is nothing that shows the contempt that Britain had for Australia in the early days than this,

Swanston street in the rain
We have had the gamut of weather this summer. Heat, cold, fire and today was rain.
Giorgio
I love taking photos on rainy days... The colours, reflections makes for all kinds of awesome
The morning victuals
Breakfast this morning was this awesome cinnamon porridge. This was how it was delivered to my table courtesy of Humbaba in Dorcas Street... Yum!
On this day - 23rd of January
in 2014 I had my first foray into slow shutter release photography. I purchase a variable density ND filter and went to the beach early in the morning. All the images were overexposed. I cleaned this up.

On the beach
I love images like this, the blue of the sky, green of the water and light coloured sand... Minimalism at it's best.

Word of the day - Motion Blur
Here is one that I whipped up today on my walk to work... I call it the runner

SCCM PXE boot error “Windows Failed to start Status: 0xc0000001”
For my regular readers... If you do not know what SCCM is then there is no need to read further :)
I recently came across this error at a site that I am working at and decided to document the root cause
For the background. All computers are entered into SCCM using the name that the computer will be and either the MAC address or UUID.
In my troubleshooting of this error I found no help in the smspxe.log file. It implied that the PXE handoff was a success. Basically WinPE was failing to boot immediately after the PXE server completed verifying the device.. What I eventually discovered was that. The computer was not a member of any collection associated with a deployment Task Sequence and hence had no boot image assigned. I have since created a collection and assigned a task sequence that is assigned automatically to all known end user devices.
I spent an hour on this so am posting it both for my benefit and to save others the time searching. Note this should only occur when you are attempting to image a known computer.
Just to note that his also applies to MECM "Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager"

Sunrise over the silos
Crossing the Morrell Bridge yesterday morning and captured this woman capturing the same sunrise.
The crossing
I have walked past this crossing by the Yarra river here in Melbourne and I have to say that it has never really registered with me. It is the ordinary that becomes extraordinary.
On this day - 18th of January
In 2014 it was all about slightly out of focus 8 balls. I would like to say that it was out of focus on purpose. For every good image there can be lots of bad ones. Usually you only see the good ones.

Word of the day - Snap
A quick behind the scenes snap while out taking pictures some time ago in Jells Park
Waterfall
Well I never. On my walk from the station to work this morning I discovered this waterfall in the Kings domain. This worked well for hand held. I must go back with a tripod
Word of the day - Empty
So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
