2nd ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS2) on Access to Youth Employment
16-21 September 2017 | Seoul, Korea
Not a glamorous photo, just one of the bride supports covered with 'artwork'. Took it partly to test the lens, but also to show how the industrious graffiti artists cut into an access panel then locked it off from less industrious 'artists' with a bike lock.
A combination of my bridge project with the studio 26 assignment of deep depth of field and testing out a borrowed 16-35 f4 lens. 16mm, f9, ISO 250, 1/80 sec exposure, focus on the graffiti. Everything not overexposed is in focus.

Full bathroom of recent (?) vintage (1970s?). Has bathtub and shower. Not sure about ADA compliance.
This is the moment that Fox will lie about. Rioters breaking windows, doors and gaining access to a closed capitol.
I arrived at the capitol at about 6:50pm. You could hear the protesters 2 blocks away yelling "Shame" and "Let us in!" I make my way up to the King St entrance and I'm there all of about 2 minutes when it falls silent instantly. Everybody is listening intently to something and it's soon made known that some republicans are trying to leave the building, so people start going to many different exits to block them and I head over to the main MLK street entrance that I believe is the governors office, but I could be wrong on that, along with a huge flow of other people. There's a stream of people milling around and chanting so I make my way up the steps to the second floor entrance where there's a large crowd shouting "Shame!" I push closer and closer and there's a wall of police blocking the doors. We keep thinking they're about to escort someone out, but it never happens. Finally some police form a single file line and march out, but the doors are still locked with police on the inside looking out.
Meanwhile, I've pushed up to about 2 people behind the doors when all of a sudden, a window to the left of me beside the doors opens up and there's a woman waving people to come in quickly. The window leads into a bathroom. People look around in amazement and wonder what this is all about. The woman again motions for people to get in here. So the most amazing thing happens. A bunch of people press up against the main doors and use their signs to block the view of the open window that people are now filing into. I start firing off pictures, which is what you see above. About 10 seconds pass and I'm wondering if I have a chance of getting in. All sorts of complications are running through my head. A: it's been made illegal as of last week to enter after 6. B: is it a trick? C: The cops have gotta see this and are probably right inside there where I can't see. D: But what is inside? This is the start! GO!
I decide I might not have another chance. I hop through. No sooner than I make it to the door of the bathroom that I am met with police. Oh crap is all I can think. However, it immediately reminds me of a college beer party bust. They weren't even looking at me. They were trying desperately to push past me to get to the window while I was trying to push past them to get in through the door. In the moment of confusion I realized I wasn't going to be in any danger since it was clear all they wanted was to shut the window and stop the flow of people coming in. So I just flattened against the door frame to let the 3 get past me and then I proceeded to get into the hallway.
I can a lot of cheering inside and it turns out there were a couple hundred inside still from before the capitol closed for the night that hadn't left. And this, of course, is when it got interesting. A couple more times huge roars would erupt as a dozen or so people come running in from different hallways. There must be more sneaking in. After about 10 minutes chants of "Let Them In!" began. After only a minute or so, it fell silent and a handful of people ran to the west exit. Another moment of silence followed by huge eruptions of cheering as what seemed like hundreds after hundreds came flowing in from all directions. They gave up and opened the doors!

Once you've pulled the flap forward, you have easy access to the seat heater grid itself. The bar that was loosened in the previous step is circled, and the seat heater grid is labeled and has a big box around it. There are a few small grippers on the bottom of the grid to keep it in location on the foam, so you'll have to run a hand underneath and lift it up slightly as you wiggle it out from under the cover. Also make sure to unplug the heater grid from the console switch - the connector is located below the seat. If you open the rear passenger door (assuming you're not working on a 242) and reach below the seat, you'll easily find the wires that run up to the heater grid. Feel along them and find the plastic plug where you can disconnect it. Once you've got the heater grid out, you can resolder the bad connection(s), which are likely near the round thermostat that is on the grid. The thermostat is what shuts the seat heater off once it reaches a set temperature. Alternately, you could also just remove the thermostat all together and leave the seat heater operation to be purely controlled by the main on-off switch.
Once you've resoldered any bad connections and set the wires back into a nice grid (mine were all jumbled when I fixed my grid - this shot is 2+ years after the fix), simply run the plug back down through the seat, lift the cover up and reposition the seat heater grid underneath where your bum would sit. Plug it back in below the seat and give it a test. Those cold winter mornings, evenings, and any other time will soon be a memory.

Edinburgh’s Caledonian Hotel opened in December 1903 providing the street frontage to the Caledonian Railway’s Princes Street railway station. Access to the station - which BR closed in September 1965 - was via the archway on the right. The hotel is constructed of Dumfriesshire red sandstone. The bus is about to turn right onto Princes Street for the remainder of its journey to Leith and the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre via Leith Walk, Pilrig Street and Newhaven.

Monday 4 - Thursday 7 November, 10:00am - 4:00pm
Various Locations
Across Dundee
NEoN is bringing the Travelling Gallery to town, Day of Access exhibition will pop up in various locations across the city.
Travelling Gallery is delighted to be working with Alec Finlay to support Day of Access, a powerful campaign which encourages estates to open their land to allow access for people affected by disability. By using hill tracks and four-wheel drives, people who have never been able to immerse themselves in wild nature are driven into the heart Scotland’s beautiful wild landscape.
The Day of Access campaign passionately believes that everyone should have the opportunity to experience wild nature. Travelling Gallery will act as the campaign bus touring Day of Access across Scotland; presenting information and artworks and allowing a space for discussions. Documentation from the pilot Day of Access, including work by young photographer Sam McDiarmid, will be exhibited in an art installation created by Finlay.
The themes of disability, access and ecological remediation are explored in Finlay’s poems and artwork. Pages from books exploring illness, pain, walking and healing, including A View from the Front Line by Maggie Keswick Jencks, are used as paper for thoughtful drawings and commanding words “THERE CAN NEVER BE AN EXCESS OF ACCESS”.
Alongside his own work Alec has invited other artists and poets to exhibit including Hannah Devereaux, Alison Lloyd, Ken Cockburn and Mhairi Law; each bringing their own creativity and experience to the project. The work is collaboratively displayed like a scrap book or diary pinned on a garden trellis, alongside other domestic apparatus and soft furnishings, such as blankets, a clothes horse, and hankies.
About the Artist:
Alec Finlay (Scotland, 1966) is an internationally-recognised artist and poet whose work crosses over a range of media and forms. Much of Finlay’s work considers how we as a culture, or cultures, relate to landscape and ecology. Through permanent and temporary interventions, integrative web-based projects, and publications, Finlay weaves together generous experiential works, often collaborative, sometimes mapped directly onto the landscape, embedded socially or accessed online. Recently Finlay’s work has focussed on place-awareness and ecopoetics.

I was born in Athens... In the 50+ years I have lived in this city I do not remember the access to the most official site, the "Unknown Soldier's Tomb", ever having been absolutely blocked... No... not under normal political circumstances, anyway...
The curved wall and high level branding give this design a custom look, which will stand out from other exhibition stands at an event. Complete with seating area.
This elevated view of the Randolph yard looking north shows the current track layout.
The two tracks on the left are connected by switches on the south and north ends, and a pair of stub tracks on the right are accessed from the center track.
Til the North Western pulled up most of the tracks in the yard in the mid 80s, there was a main and passing track and 5 yard tracks here. ETTS
Access cover in the streets of the Meatpacking District in New York, New York marked "M.R. Co.". This stands for Manhattan Refrigeration Company.
Beyond Access Member teams representing twelve countries in Asia and Europe gathered in Indonesia to share their successes, challenges, and visions about the role of modern libraries in their communities. Participants came from vastly different countries in terms of culture, level of development, and political environment. Yet they shared many of the same challenges, and more importantly, they shared a commitment to the role libraries play in their communities.
