Ted Smith's Lions of Communication in the Circus, Bath.
It was one of the many lions which were part of the Lions of Bath public art exhibition.
The 100-strong pride of lions - with the tag-line 'Pride in our City' - were individually painted and decorated and spread about the city.
The lions were displayed throughout 2010, before being gathered for one weekend at the Royal Crescent and then auctioned off.
The lion was chosen because it is both the symbol of royal England and because it is on the Bath coat of arms, recognising the King Edgar - first king of all England - in Bath in 973AD.
The King’s Circus was designed by John Wood and built by his son John Wood the Young after his father died the year he began construction.
The Circus is made up of 30 houses in the Palladian architectural style, divided into three smaller crescents – the first of which stood alone for seven years while funds were sought to complete the construction work, which took place between 1754 and 1767.
Britain’s first circular street, its colonnaded design and shape took obvious inspiration from the Colosseum in Rome, linking the modern Georgian city of Bath with its ancient Roman history.
There was also a link to Bath’s mystical history as he designed it to be the same size as Stonehenge – though his measurements were a little off. The stone acorns which adorn the houses represent the legend of Prince Bladud and how he discovered the hot springs in the city.
A carved frieze runs around the entire circle, while there are three styles of column on the exterior – Doric, Ionic and Corintian.
Among the former residents of the Circus are the artist Thomas Gainsborough and Prime Minister William Pitt.
最近這幾年來，許多模特耳為了在伸展台上展現出更好的身材，所以他們不健康的節食，這股流行已經造成許多模特耳的死亡。這不僅影響了全世界的審美觀，也影響了大部分的女生希望自己能像模特耳或明星纖細的身材。讓自己越來越瘦而進行不正當的節食、催吐等行為。也讓許多人的審美觀造成偏差。但是瘦真的等於美嗎 ?
Sattelite dish at the abandoned home of John and Florence Rementer. The home still contains two old televisions that look unlikely transmitters for this dish, but I am no expert on such matters. The bleak other worldy quality of this photo represents the experience of Rementer house for me. We were here it screams, but no one is listening, or are they?
For more information see the description for the rementer house set.
For some reason, I wanted to make this. It shows Osaka City a couple of minutes after the major earthquake that occurred in up in the Tohoku region. (Osaka is far enough south such that it took no direct damage from the quake and resultant tsunami, though.) I just wanted to make an image showing where I was when the terrible disaster happened, and this was the image taken closest to the time of the earthquake. I don't know about other folks in Osaka, but my friend and I didn't feel the quake. I was very fortunate that I was in the southern part of the country.

この前、大地震が起きたとき、日本を旅行していた僕は何をしていたかと疑問に考えて、あの日の写真を見れば大阪のこんなところで歩いていたのがわかりました。地震が発生した2分後の大阪市。僕は1時間半ぐらい前に東京からの新幹線を降り、大阪の友人に合う集合場所へと向かって、でかいスーツケースを引きながら道を歩いていました。揺れもなく、地震が起きたことを全然知りませんでしたが、友人の家で友人の弟さんから聞きました。後でテレビでニュースを見ていたら愕然としました。僕が東北ではなく大阪府に行ってよかったですね。
日本よ、がんばれ！日本の速やかな回復を心から願っております。
世界の国々からも支援があることに心が温まった僕は、こんな時こそ、国際的な協力が不可欠なものだと思います。

SEEING THROUGH ILLUSIONS - NewsletterOnline Version
Hi,

During the workshops, you will experience the effects of creating extraordinary moments for people, tap into your potential for creating surprise, mystery and the unexpected and take away the tools to enhance your identity and moments of emotional engagement.

THE SHAPE OF S.U.C.C.E.S.
An enlightening model that I've used and has been used in delivering workshops, in marketing and advertising and with communications experts is called The Shape of S.U.C.C.E.S. All effective messages are shaped by being:
Straightforward
Unexpected & Surprise
Credible
Concrete
Emotional
Stories
At the heart of Mind Magic lies the potent combination of the unexpected and surprising. Every trick we teach you revolves around you performing the impossible. Mind Magic, in line with the current trend of placing a high value on Personal Touch, allows you to engage with people through using face-to-face and physical means, providing a very real and concrete experience for them. Doing this lets you tell stories, leverage emotions, establish yourself as credible and put your message across in a straightforward, interesting and entertaining manner.
To see other benefits of using Mind Magic with what you do, visit www.mindsways.com/SMS/
YOU IN YOUR FUTURE
The future is neither completely predictable nor enitrely random, but your future is in your hands. The future of presenting, training, teaching, communicating, creative thinking and business is based on the shattering of traditions and built upon the shards of what remains. To do this, novelty, innovation, imagination and the ability to embrace what is truly different is what's needed. Novelty is the key, and for many people who have previously attended the Sleight of Mind Set workshops, they have certainly found a source of it. This leads us to ask three significant questions;
What's your source of surprise?
How do you 'rock the boat'?
Where do you get unexpected influences from?
The coming together of these three answers will dictate how well prepared you are for the future. Mind Magic certainly acts to generate a blend of what's new, what's a positive force of disruption and what can be a fountain of extraordinary influences.
For more on how Mind Magic can affect your future, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/
USING YOUR ILLUSIONS
Over the past 2 years, I have been running courses around the U.K. and found that a number of people from a wide range of background, including teachers, therapists, coaches, business leaders, scientists, trainers etc. have found Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry to help:
engage with audiences
a source of fresh ideas for business and delivery
add to presenting abilities and skills
understanding psychological illusions
add mystery and the unexpected to dry presentations
create emotional connections
add visual impact and vitality
use personal touch
create extraordinary moments
show the power of perspective
unleashing creative forces
reframing ideas
fuels imagination
In his astonishing TED talk, Beau Lotto demonstrates the power of visual illusions to the world. By combining the fascinating effect that illusions have on an audience with meaningful demonstrations of how these can be used to change the world and create beautiful pieces of art, Lotto also explores why we can't believe what we see, but we see what we believe.
To sum up his message and why illusions hold such meaning for us, he says: "The brain didn't evolve to see the world as it is. We can't. Instead, the brain has evolved to see the world the way it was useful to see it in the past." By this he means that we do not experience what is really going on outside of our heads, but we experience what we have learned expect. To see this video and others which explore this fascinating subject, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/#PsychologicalArtistry
THE POWER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY
The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies.
Psychological Artistry is about combining the world of art and psychology. It's about showing the beautiful flaws in our thinking and how we can use them. It's about magnifying how we all think and giving you the opportunity to change it. A couple of interesting examples the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. I would love to know what you think.
Please see www.mindsways.com/SMS for these and other incredible videos. For more about Psyhcological Artistry and our approach, please see www.mindsways.com/about/
BRAND NEW BESPOKE EVENTS
We are now offering a number of bespoke events that can take place in-house or during conferences, meetings or during organisational change. These range from Talks, Performances and Workshops.
Mindsways' talks all focus on the power of perspective. Perspective dictates how we see the world, what we believe (about ourselves and others), our potential, our attitude, our interactions and how we approach problems. This is illustrated through an entertaining and enlightening combination of illusions, Psychological Artistry, magic tricks and moments of mystery.
Entertainment that both opens the mind and bedazzles it, Mindsways' performances are always unique, memorable and a powerful source of inspiration for staff and team members. With the flexibility to include your message (previous performances have been based on "Language & Beliefs" and "Creating Impact"), these unforgettable set of events can be used to support, enhance and make your meeting in to the event of the year.
The workshops can be half days or full days, even a series of recurring days depending on your needs. Regardless of their format, they will always provide fascinating insights and breath-taking mystery, wrapped up in your metaphors and learning points.

Sooo...yeah...I've kinda dropped (photographically) off the face of the Earth for a few months. I've had photo friends contact me, try to get me interested in stuff, but due to boring details I'd rather not go into I just hadn't been feeling it. Things were very blah here. But I think I might finally be perking up just a bit, so here's an ironic image representing communication to tide you over until I have some new work ready to be seen.
One of many phone banks at NYC's Grand Central Terminal. It was really dark and I was most of the way through a roll and thus didn't have the option to push the film (other than rating it at 800, which really isn't much of a change to 400 film) so I braced myself as best I could and shot it at a 30th of a second. Didn't quite pull it off, as the phone I focused on (to the right of the black handset) isn't quite sharp. I hate that!
