This little leaf is disintegrating! It's caused by some sort of fungus if I remember correctly, but it looks so pretty!

(17th October 2011) - The mini drama of the disintegrating bag was finally finished today as I went to Diesel and bought myself a lovely new leather bag.
Walking back to the bus stop, I took the miniest of mini detours and walked around St. Ann's Square for a bit, looking for some photo inspiration. And I found it!
This memorial is dedicated to the Manchester Regiment who fought in the South African War. The inscription around the side of the memorial reads: "To the memory of the following officers non-commisd officers and men who fell in the war in South Africa 1899-1902 gallantly serving their sovereign & country." (Info taken from: www.nmbs2001.com/id25.html)
And that's something else I've found myself doing when I've got a camera in my hand - actually looking up and seeing what's around me. I've walked through St. Ann's Square hundreds of times but never really bothered to pay attention to this memorial (or anything else around there). I'm hoping to discover more of Manchester this way.

Loi Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. In the western calendar this usually falls in November.
"Loi" means "to float" and a "krathong" is traditionally made from a section of banana tree trunk. Modern krathongs are more often made of bread or styrofoam. A bread krathong will disintegrate in a few a days and be eaten by fish and other animals. The traditional banana stalk krathongs are also biodegradable, but styrofoam krathongs are frowned on, since they are polluting and may take years to disappear. Regardless of the composition, a krathong will be decorated with elaborately-folded banana leaves, flowers, candles and incense sticks. A low value coin is sometimes included as an offering to the river spirits.
During the night of the full moon, Thais will float their krathong on a river, canal or a pond lake. The festival is believed to originate in an ancient practice of paying respect to the spirit of the waters. Today it is simply a time to have fun.

Operation Morning Light recovered the debris from the disintegration of a nuclear-powered Soviet satellite. The Las Vegas-based Nuclear Emergency Search Team played a major role in the joint Canada/United States search and recovery effort. The team used sophisticated aerial remote sensing and radiation detection systems to search for debris scattered within 15,000 square miles of tundra. The team spent three months on the ground in this frozen and snow-covered land recovering small pieces and flakes of radioactive debris. Temperatures of -40°F and wind chill factors of -100°F were not uncommon.
A Soviet nuclear-powered Cosmos 954 satellite was launched September 18, 1977. The Cosmos 954 was in a 150-mile high orbit conducting ocean surveillance from the Arctic to the Antarctic. In January 1978, the satellite fell to earth and scattered radioactive debris across the Northwest Territories near Yellowknife, northern Canada. The clean-up operation was a coordinated effort between the United States and Canada. Known as Operation Morning Light." the clean-up continued into October 1978.
As the Soviet satellite Cosmos 954 fell to Earth in northern Canada in 1978, Lab scientists joined a multinational team spending hours in the back of a Hercules aircraft to track the satellite's reentry path and locate radioactive debris.

Top Looks a bit fat but this Subalpine Fir has two tops, not common in this tree at all.
Also nicely visible are the cones at the top of the tree. Like other true firs these will disintegrate on the branch.

Distortion as a representation of chaos in natural cycles, modifying it's own results by continuous repetition. The images are generated from small variations in a force feedback of a closed system, creating superimposing and unique images using the generative loop as content origin.
The project is part of a process of experiments regarding the decomposition of light through video media, using live tools. Under the name PRIMORDIAL PHENOMENON

Porky Pig: Happy b-b-birthday, you thing from another world, you.
Marvin Martian: Ooh, thank you!
[the dynamite explodes]
Duck Dodgers: Look, bud, I've got news for you. I have already claimed this bit of dirt for the Earth, and there just ain't room enough on this planet for the two of us.
Marvin Martian: I do believe you are right.

Duck Dodgers: Heh! Little does he realize that I have on my disintegration-proof vest. You may fire when ready, Gridley.

A self-portrait that disintegrates without digital manipulation was created on site,inspired by the frame of the open window and the in-between space that connects the exterior staircase with the interior of the building. The portrait is deteriorating both literally, as I was painting and drawing it, sections of the wall were peeling off, but it is also broken up and fragmented from the shadows cast by its surroundings. These shadows are symbolic of the way I can deteriorate and alter, due to the external circumstances and the metaphorical shadows they cast on me. The natural frame of the portrait and the distance it has from the viewer again alludes to forced detachment I instigate when I feel that my world is deteriorating. I have placed my self-portrait in the same building, where the three floor installation was created, as I connect with that building on a very deep level.
The disintegration continues. The ants seem to have lost interest now.
