On Saturday April 3rd 2010, massive pillow fights occurred in cities around the world!
The project, Pillow Fight Day 2010, is a collaboration of many people who comprise a loose, decentralized network of urban playground event organizers all over the world.
ABOUT NEWMINDSPACE
All over the world, groups like Newmindspace organize free, fun, all ages, non-commercial public events. From a massive Mobile Clubbing event in a London train station to a giant pillow fight near the Eiffel Tower in Paris to a subway party beneath the streets of Toronto, it is clear that the urban playground is growing around the world, leaving more public and more social cities in its wake. This is the urban playground movement, a playful part of the larger public space movement.
One of the goals at Newmindspace is to make these unique happenings in public space become a significant part of popular culture, partially replacing passive, non-social, branded consumption experiences like watching television. The result will be a global community of participants in a world where people are constantly organizing and attending these happenings in every major city in the world.
Other projects include:
*BLANKET FORTS: fortresses made of blankets and pillows. A labyrinthine complex of themed, soft forts installed inside a 2000 square-foot private loft. Midnight snacks, smoothies, and hot cocoa are offered. Teddy bears, pajamas and bath robes welcome. It is meant to be an intimate evening among friends and friends of friends, as well as a fundraiser for their free, outdoor public events.
*WE<3 NY: on February 14th, volunteers painted thousands of hearts on the sidewalks of SoHo.
*SANTACON: is a not-for-profit, non-political, non-religious & non-logical Santa Claus convention, attended for absolutely no reason. Check out the website: nycsantacon.com/
*PHOTOGRAPH: people photographing people photographing people and then uploaded to Flickr.
*CAPTURE THE FLAG!: a massive, adrenaline-pumping, urban game played on the streets of downtown Toronto. Two teams hide flags in their territory and attempt to capture the enemy flag using subways, streetcars, bicycles, longboards or their own two feet.
*MARSHMELLOW CIVIL WAR: a historical reenactment in New York of questionable accuracy. With marshmallows.
*BUBBLE BATTLE: thousands of people converge in Times Square for a bubble battle. Loosely based on the Dr. Seuss Classic The Butter Battle Book.
*LIGHTSABER BATTLE: 3,000 blacklight-reactive, meter-long cardboard tubes are distributed in Washington Square Park, and massive blacklight cannons are aimed at the crowd...the battle continues until every tube is destroyed.
*BIG WHEEL RACE: racing down the Great Hill in Central Park on big wheels, trikes, skateboards, velocipedes, or handmade contraptions on wheels, along with superhero costumes.
*JINGLE BELL ROCK: people bring their personal music players with their favorite tunes and a gift to exchange, and everyone rocks out.

From 1954 until 1974, many American cities were ringed by a decentralized network of guided missiles intended to destroy incoming enemy aircraft and ICBMs. Named for the Greek goddess of victory, Nike missiles were equipped with either high explosive or "small" nuclear warheads (with up to a 40 kiloton yield). At the peak of the program there were over 200 Nike "batteries" in the Continental US (plus over a hundred more protecting strategic locations outside the US). Advances in ICBM technology, coupled with the ABM treaty, eventually put an end to the domestic Nike program, with most of the sites de-commissioned and quickly consumed by suburban sprawl. A few sites have been preserved, however, and I recently visited "SF88L" in Ft. Barry, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco in the Marin headlands. Click on the thumbnails for larger versions of the photos.
SF88L is now under the control of the National Park Service (so don't mess with them), and, thanks to a team of volunteers (many of whom are Nike veterans), is open for guided tours for a few hours each month (as of this writing, the first Sunday of the month, 12:30-3:30pm, but check the web sites below before heading out). See www.nikemissile.net/, www.nikemissile.org/, ed-thelen.org/, and www.atomictourist.com/nike.htm for details on the site and the history of the Nike program generally. Considering its proximity to San Francisco the area is surprisingly remote and rural. (To get there from the highway you go through a neat little single lane tunnel that alternates direction every five minutes.)
The site is a must-see for the Bay-area hacker tourist -- a visit richly repays the advance planning needed to accomodate its somewhat out-of-the-way location and limited schedule. It is remarkably well-preserved, with at least four full, JATO-equipped Nike missiles (un-fueled and sans warheads, we're repeatedly assured), two underground "magazines" with launch platforms, launch and radar control trailers, a radar station (originally a few miles away, line of site), and display cases with assorted artifacts.

Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles.
Akrotiri, a Bronze Age settlement preserved under ash from the eruption, provides a frozen-in-time glimpse into Minoan life. The ruins of Ancient Thera lie on a dramatic bluff that drops to the sea on 3 sides. Fira, the island's commercial heart, has the Archaeological Museum of Thera and boutique shops. It also has a lively bar scene and tavernas serving local grilled seafood and dry white wine, made from the Assyrtiko grape. Oia is famous for sunsets over its old fortress [Santorini Google Travel]

Urbex Hellas -
The historical period of ancient Greece is unique in world history as the first period attested directly in proper historiography, while earlier ancient history or proto-history is known by much more circumstantial evidence, such as annals or king lists, and pragmatic epigraphy.
thank Howard, for the construction of the camera!
I was able to solve many problems related to 4x5 :
I do not have a tank for LF; so with a trick I was able to develop one that I use for the MF (elastics!).
I do not have a scanner for 4x5, but only one for the medium format.
so I tried to scan the negative with a scanner in my office for documents. The result is obviously low, but mutual friends insisted because posting it the image.
I'm really happy because the negatives are excellent!!!

Luisa Rios is the local coordinator of Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) key partner in the region, Sociedad Peruana de Derecho Ambiental (SPDA). “Brazil nuts are one of the most important forest products for export that we’ve got,” she says. “If we want these forests to produce not only today, but for the next 50 years, we need evaluate what is actually happening so that we can improve the best practice guidelines. This can only be done through field research on the ground.”
