"Oil has made its way west of the Mississippi River and we are using every tool we have available to try and protect our coastal resources," said Garret Graves, cha! irman of the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. "We have been using diversions, siphons and locks on both the east and west side for more than 10 days to try and push the oil away from our coastal wetlands. The Barataria Basin is a maze of marshy islands, grass beds, bayous, ponds and lakes. It will be nearly impossible for us to clean the oil out of these areas for years if it gets in there.

Oil shale was first discovered in the northern side of the Capertee Valley around 1865 by local grazier Mr. B.R. McLean. Glen Davis still has the largest seam of high grade oil shale in the world. The first shale oil lease was granted in 1891 to MPI Mining Development which later abandoned the scheme. This site was the centre point for the future development.
The wartime petrol shortage caused the Government to organise a revival of oil shale mining and treatment in 1940. Mr. G, F, Davis of Davis Gelantine undertook the proposed development and a new company was formed (National Oil Pty. Ltd.). Much of the equipment from the abandoned Newnes oil shale works was transferred to Glen Davis.
A pipeline was built so that products could be pumped to storage tanks at Newnes Junction. The pipeline followed the route of the Newnes railway line which was removed in the 1940's. In 1940 the first oil was produced and in 1941 some 4,273,315 gallons were produced. 170 miners were employed.
Initial housing conditions were deplorable. Lack of schooling facilities, unreliable food supplies and endemic diseases accentuated the already poor living conditions. By 1947 the situation had improved. A hotel, barracks, staff cottages and permanent housing had been built. The town population of 1,600 had access to a school, post office, hall, cinema, bank, chemist, butcher and general stores.
By 1950 production levels were dropping and operating costs were continuing to rise. The years of industrial trouble, difficulties with retorts, Labour, material shortages and the importing of middle east crude-oil finally led to the closure of the works in 1952. The plant was sold at auction.

Davis Aguila is an aspiring actor who came to me for headshots for his portfolio. He and his girlfriend showed up at my house and we shot his photos on a black backdrop. She was too cute not to shoot but didn't bring clothes because the shoot was for him. I pitched them the idea for shooting on the beach and they loved it, so they ran to target and bought a sundress for her and some batteries for me. We went down to west branch and shot 50 or so frames and this is my favorite. Thanks a bunch Cody for assisting me. More up soon

309 AMARG
The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (309 AMARG) is a one-of-a-kind specialized facility within the Air Force Materiel Command structure. 309 AMARG provides critical aerospace maintenance and regeneration capabilities for Joint and Allied/Coalition warfighters in support of global operations and agile combat support for a wide range of military operations.
Immediately after World War II, the Army's San Antonio Air Technical Service Command established a storage facility for B-29 and C-47 aircraft at Davis-Monthan AFB. Today, this facility is the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (309 AMARG), which has grown to include more than 4,400 aircraft and 13 aerospace vehicles from the Air Force, Navy-Marine Corps, Army, Coast Guard, and several federal agencies including NASA.

Eggshell Painting Plaque
If Tin Tin’s dog could speak after visiting Vietnam, he might teach us about “man’s inhumanity to man”. This painting (featuring egg shells as a medium) was a 15 step collaborative effort of many Vietnamese citizens suffering from DNA defects due to chemical agents used by the U.S. Government during the Vietnam War. When dogs think about a “rainbow” it is associated with a beautiful bridge that will ultimately carry them to heaven. For citizens in Vietnam a rainbow reflects the multi-colored chemical agents that landed upon them that caused pain, birth defects and death. From 1962 through 1971, The U.S. government’s Operation Ranch Hand facilitated the extensive spraying of 20 million gallons of herbicide (agents orange, blue, pink, green, purple and white) over 3.6 million acres of South Vietnam. B-52 bombers dropped 8 million tons of bombs on Vietnam between 1965 and 1973. This was over three times the amount of bombs dropped throughout the whole of the Second World War and works out to be approximately 300 tons for every man, woman and child living in Vietnam.
The most infamous of these was napalm, a mixture of petrol and a chemical thickener that produces a tough sticky gel that attaches itself to the skin. The igniting agent, white phosphorus, continues burning for a considerable amount of time. A reported three quarters of all napalm victims in Vietnam were burned through the muscle and bone (fifth degree burns). The pain caused by the burning is so traumatic that it often causes death.
A report published in 2003 claimed that 650,000 people in Vietnam were stills suffering the chronic conditions as a result of the chemicals dropped on the country during the war. Today, Vietnamese children are being born with horrific birth defects due to DNA damage caused by chemical agents used during the Vietnam War. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ranch_Hand)

Pintura de Tin Tin sobre cascarón de huevo
Esta pintura (la cual utiliza cascarón de huevo como medio) es el resultado de un esfuerzo de colaboración de quince pasos de muchos ciudadanos vietnamitas que sufrieron de defectos en su ADN debido a agentes químicos que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos utilizó durante la Guerra de Vietnam. De 1962 a 1971, el Hand Ranch Operation del gobierno de los Estados unidos facilitó la diseminación extensiva de 20 millones de galones de herbicidas (agentes químicos) sobre un área de 3.6 millones de acres en el sur de Vietnam. Un reporte publicado en el año de 2003 asevera que 650,000 personas en Vietnam aún estaban sufriendo las condiciones crónicas, como resultado de los químicos liberados en el país durante la guerra. Actualmente, los niños vietnamitas están aún naciendo con terribles defectos de nacimientos debido al daño causado al ADN por parte de los agentes químicos utilizados en la Guerra de Vietnam.

Among modern artists I conceptually identify with Jackson Pollack - not that I'm a particular fan of his visual style, but because he always identified himself as a painter, even though a lot of the time his brush never hit the canvas.
There's something in that disconnect - not using a brush or tool in traditional methods.
Pollock might argue that it's the process of absrtraction that's dynamic, not the end result, which in his case is a static painting. In my own work, the end result is never static: by making room for as many anomalies as possible, every composition generated by the programs we write is unique to itself.
I'll program the 'brushes', the 'paints', the 'strokes', the 'rules', and the 'boundaries'. However it is the software that creates the compositions - the programs draw themselves. I am in a constant state of surprise and discovery, because the program may structure compositions that I many never have thought of to execute or might take me hours to create mentally.
