The large statue in the centre of the gallery is by Eric Gill.
Trying out the cyc wall in studio space I have just rented, getting a feel for the wrap (which anything less than about 8' is substantial).
She just danced and I followed.

Eight year old Emilie McIntyre lost her mother and father in a head-on crash caused by a drunk driver traveling the wrong way on a metro Detroit freeway. The perp will be in prison for 5-15 years. After the sentencing Emilie leans on her grandmother Sheryl McIntyre, wearing a shirt with victim Shannon McIntyre's likeness.
Tonight I went to the Red Poppy Art House on 23rd and Folsom for an evening of storytelling and poetry by Amado & Arias. It was a nice and mellow scene, they made Ceviche and Pisco Sours on the table while telling stories that integrated those themes. It felt like a nice family event around a large table.
Oh, and it was all in Spanish. My Spanish ain't great but I do OK understanding people when they're speaking slowly or clearly and about common topics... I wasn't entirely lost the entire time and it was absolutely great to stretch my skills a bit... I've been laboring through reading The Hobbit for over a year now.. I'll put it down for a month, pick it up for 3 days, and then have it slip by the wayside again. I'll finish it one day and then I can get started reading "Yo Robot" by Isaac Asimov... which I bought in Buenos Aires over 2 years ago.
Uhm... this is turning into a blog post... of course flickr is turning into sort of a catalog of things I've been up to.. and if it's not flickr it's definitely on my hard drive disco duro..., er... hard drive.

Shoot done in a shower depicting the aftermath of a violent encounter. (The only thing hurt making these images was the purple lipstick used to create the bruises.)
This was the fourth Stones album ( released April 1966 ) and the first written entirely by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and contained a number of my favourite Stones tracks . "Lady Jane " was a subdued ballad featuring Brian Jones on dulcimer . Other favourites tracks of mine are "Under my thumb" , "Out of time" " I am waiting " and "Mother's little helper" , a song about a housewife who abuses prescription drugs to "get her through the day."

Art installation of mixed media by Nakhon Si Thammarat (Thailand) exhibit at the Singapore Art Museum during the Singapore Biennale 2016.
As you can well imagine, we hit the goulash HARD. like 2+ giant bowls each hard. You would think that would have put a dent in the recipe (which claimed to serve 4-6) but you would be mistake. I dumped it into a 64oz Tupperware and it was literally overflowing. Jules and I had to stand around the counter w/ forks and eat it down enough to get the lid on it. There is a solid 5 pounds of goulash left in my fridge!
This is what was left of the Edmonton Spring and Auto Works after fire ravaged through it on March 21, 2010. The lot still sits vacant today.
The kids were outside today driving their go-cart. With the rain came mud; and with the mud came filthy kids. They had a lot of fun and I had a lot of laundry to do. :)
I probably could have saved more of the fiber... but it's more important to get Gir naked for the upcoming summer months.
More terrifying and beautiful skies from yesterday's 3/29 storm. Didn't know whether to run or shoot! Took a few tonal liberties with this shot, but the expressive priorities far outweighed the need to reproduce the image exactly as seen.
The old stobie pole has been removed.
Whilst making a 1 hour drive from McLaren Vale back to Adelaide, I took a 5 hour detour.
It turns out both main arterial roads from the south into Adelaide were blocked. Two seperate accidents had brought down stobie poles on both Goodwood and
South Road. Traffic was backed up for about 10 kms. Goodwood Road was completedly shutdown, South road had a detour close to the accident.
I took the detour and then tried to escape. I cut off Port Road, up Cheif Street and then got stuck behind a truck, stuck under a bridge. They though the
track was shorter than it really was and now .. wedged ... there was no easy way to turn around or et it out. I gave in and started taking photos.
For non South Australians ..
A Stobie pole is a power line pole made of two steel joists held apart by a slab of concrete in the middle. It was invented by Adelaide Electricity Supply
Company design engineer James Cyril Stobie (1895–1953). Stobie used materials easily at hand due to the shortage of timber caused by the arid and treeless
nature of much of South Australia and destruction from white ants. The pole was patented in 1924.
From the news: Truck toppled stobie pole closes South Road.
"A stobie pole with powerlines carrying 66,000 volts of electricity has been toppled after it was clipped by a "Murphys" truck which the tipper section had clipped the pole travelling along South Road.
The stretch of South Road between Port Road and Torrens Road is expected to be subject to traffic diversions for most of the afternoon as ETSA crews attempt
to replace the damage infrastructure and restore power to some 2500 users who have been left without electricity as a result of the accident. A small grass
fire ignited shortly after the lines were brought down, with a neighbouring business owner quickly able to put out flames.
ETSA is hoping to have services returned to users without power by later this afternoon.
MFS and police were redirecting traffic, with hopes of having one lane open each way by 1:00pm, with the road not expected to be fully open again until early
tomorrow morning.
Police are advising of major traffic delays and are recommending motorists avoid the area completely."
At 5 pm that night, the street was still blocked (Accident was about 10:30am)

I am unsure how many hundreds of thousands of cars use this road daily, but this was a major issue.

I was going to stop posting skiing pictures for a while but there has been massive nationwide interest and concern* regarding what happened as a result of the possible collision in my last picture. So here is just one more shot. Incidentally the cute snowboard lady had an incredibly photogenic smile. In fact I have never seen such a big grin on a crashing skier before (she grounded herself to prevent a collision). And robo-skier-kid still doesn't seem to have noticed that anything untoward had happened.
* well, soonerpa was curious
Texas has had over 3 million acres to burn this year in wildfires.....
