Archaeologist and painter Edward Dodwell (1767-1832), who came from a noble and rich Irish family, was born in Dublin (recitation: Eduard Doduel) and studied literature and archeology at Trinity College in Cambridge. Thanks to the economic comfort provided by his great fortune, he is completely away from the need to acquire a profession and gives himself to the researches about the Mediterranean civilizations.
In 1801, he traveled with Ionian islands (Corfu, Zante etc.) and the region of Troy together with Atkins and well-known traveler W. Gell. In 1805-06, he traveled to Central Greece with his traveling companion, Simone Pomardi. He then settled in Naples and Rome and marries a woman thirty years younger from him. He was an honorary member of many European cultural foundations. He died of sickness while exploring in the mountains of Italy. The large archaeological collection (coins, 115 copper items, 143 amphoras) he created was sold to the Munich Sculpture Museum after being housed in his home in Rome for a while.
Being a prolific writer and visual artist at the same time, Dodwell reveals his multi-faceted talent, consisting of a sense of curiosity, critical gaze and artistic sensitivity as an archaeologist in his works that are unique for his age. For the first time in his work, we witness the real discovery of a "place": While the phenomenon of walking becomes a form of discovering and recognizing (reading) the view, on the other hand, information based on monuments, history, contemporary people and documents all join together in this phenomenon.
The journey, which is described in these two volumes of publications and offers rich data in archeology and topography, constitutes a valuable treasure of information about the public and private lives of the Greeks before the rebellion (before 1821). Dodwell sets off from Venice by taking an intelligent and well-read Greek from Santorini, whom he had met in Italy in late April 1801, as an interpreter. He crosses the Adriatic sea and arrives in Corfu under Russian-Ottoman occupation with his travel companions within a month. Their journey continues towards Paksos islands, Parga, Lefkada (Santa Mavra). Dodwell writes about the nose of Lefkata, where ancient Greek poet Saffo, according to ancient ruins, products, villages and legend, fell into the sea because of his desperate love for Faon. From here go to Preveza and go to Nikopolis. He travels to the archeological site at the village, continues to Ithaka island and writes about the geography and economic situation there and about the search for ancient ruins. Finally, he came to Kefalonia and completed his first trip to Greece with William Gell.
In 1805, Dodwell, along with the artist Simone Pomardi, arrived in Zakinthos (Zante) from the city of Messina in Sicily, where he writes about the villages, population, products; he then goes to Mesolongi. Tepedelenli Ali Pasha writes about the persecution of local people, local products, the Akheloos river and the Echinades archipelago.
After the journey, he reached Patra and became the guest of the consul Nikolaos Stranis. Stranis's mansion had been the meeting place of many European guests for years. Dodwell's trip to Patra confirms his theoretical knowledge about them. Speaking of Contemporary Patra, he writes in an easy-to-understand manner both about the architectural order of the city ("The houses of the Greeks are lime and the houses of the Turks are painted in red") and its economic condition (including products exported from the region). In Patra, he visits the castle, the famous big-bodied cypress tree, the church of Saint Andrea and the holy spring (blessed water source / fountain). He adds the pattern that his travel companion Pomardi has drawn and displays the sacred source. Patra ' Noting that many black slaves were found in Dodwell, Dodwell also made efforts to obtain some archaeological artifacts. As he writes about Patra, he especially portrays the city's historical memory. On the Dodwell route, it documents scientifically its own knowledge as well as the old sources it used to showcase the contemporary reality of Greece and previous travel testimonies.
Due to an epidemic in Dodwell Peloponnese, he chose to go to Athens in another way, passing through Nafpaktos (Inebahtı), Galaksidi (watching the carnival shows here) and passing through Amfisa (here he is a guest at the house of a Kefalonian doctor and visits the voivodeship), climbs to Parnasos mountain, Hriso and stops in Kastri and tour the Kastalya fountain and few ancient ruins that can be seen in Delfi. The road passes through the villages of Arahova and Distomo and takes him to the ancient site of the Trophonius priests in Livadia, from there he continues to other Viotia (Boeotia) villages (Orchomenos, Aliartos, Thespiae). Passing through the Eleutherae road and the Eleusis plain, on March 26, lord Elgin's work teams arrive in Athens when the relief of the Acropolis relief (relief) marbles.
Dodwell will stay here until September and visit almost all of Attica (Pendeli mountain, Fili, Acharnai, Kifisia, Vrauron, Porto Rafti, Thorikos, Lavrion, Sunion, Piraeus) and the Egina and Salamis islands. In addition to archaeological issues, he writes about the folk dances, music and games of the Greeks, even about baths, even insects and birds.
After Athens, it passes through Thiva (Thebai), Kopais lake, Thermopylae and Lamia, Stylis and Almyros to Volos and Pelion; in his article he mentions all the ancient city ruins he met along the way. After that, Larissa and Ambelakia come and are highly affected by the high level of living, cultured people and the cotton yarn dyeing industry. Thessaly plain returns to Athens after passing through Lilaia, Amfikleia, Fokida, Viotia (Boeotia) and stops by Chalkida and Marathon.
He stays in Athens all summer. In December of 1805, we find him touring the Argos-Corinth region: Dafni monastery, Eleusis and its religious mysteries, Megara, Corinthian isthmus, Corinthian fortress, Kechries, Nemea and its vineyards, Acropolis and ancient theater in Argos, the treasure of Mikene and Atreus, The ruins of Tiryns and Nauplion, Epidaurus and Asclepius temple, Troizina, Methana, Poros are the places he traveled and wrote. Then, on the road of Aegion, Sikyon passes through Xylokastron and stops in the local inns, and after Patra, he reaches Olympia on January 24, 1806 by describing all villages of Achaia and Ileia.
In the continuation of the trip, Messini visits Sparta in late February after visiting the ruins in Megalopolis and Vassai. After crossing Arkadiya and Achaia (by stopping at Tegea, Tripoliçe, Mantineia, Orchomenos, Stymphalia, Feneos, Kalavrita, Mega Spilaion), it reaches Patra in the spring and finally reaches Rome on September 18, 1806.
Dodwell (who has drafted about 400 places and monuments) has been aiming to combine the scientific look with art by adding the engravings to them after using the camera obscura technique and documenting the archaeological ruins he has visited recently. The four volumes of his work, published after Dodwell, are a basic handbook for all travelers traveling around Greece and are still considered a very useful resource for archaeological research today.
The work was published 2 years after Dodwell's death in 1834. Publishers received the material to create the book and detailed instructions about the publication from Dodwell himself. Paintings with stone prints and based on Dodwell's own drawings show magnificent relic images from Greece and Italy. These include, in particular, wall forms, acropolis (city hills or endpoints), fortifications, and domed tombs. Engravings showing monuments in Greece are accompanied by descriptive and explanatory texts; the same is not true for monuments in Italy, however, because Dodwell was unable to write his explanations about them. Publishers have not been able to fill this gap. The embroidery of the paintings on stone was made by the well-known engraver C. Hullmandel.
Despite the misrepresentation of naming and identification in some of the architectural remains, Dodwell's work remains a pioneer in terms of both its subject and less-known archaeological sites. The aim of the author was to add this book to his two volume volume "Classical and Topographical Tour in Greece", published in 1819.

More descriptive breakdown:
Cameras:
Nikon D100 w/ vertical grip: my first DSLR, keep it as a back-up
Nikon N65: The $10 camera. $5 for it and a 28-80 kit lens I recently sold, then got the bottom grip off eBay, new, for $5 so it now uses AA batteries instead of expensive "photo" batteries.
Nikon D7000: does it need an explanation?
Lenses:
70-300 VR G: Great outdoor sports and whatever lens. Good indoors for things that aren't moving much. Also good for portraits, really sharp and its lightness makes it an ease to shoot with.
50mm 1.8: must have. indoor sports, majority of my portraits, stupid sharp and stupid small. Its kind of a pain in my big bag, it likes to hide.
Flash:
SB-600: I use it a lot more now that I have the D7000. Use some for indoor sports, and love playing with the wireless on the stand.
Stands:
Targus tripod: it was $15. works ok for when I need it, which is almost never.
Light stand: don't know the brand, but for $16 on eBay, it is awesome. Lightweight and extends to 8', supports a speedlight or studio strobe, and rubber feet so it stays put.
Miscellaneous:
Have taken a few film classes, so I have some leftover, and with access to the labs, I enjoy shooting a roll every once in a while. Currently have 3 rolls of b&w ISO 50 and 2 rolls of b&w ISO 1600. Picked them up for fun, just to see how they turn out. A few rolls of expired color 200 and 400, picked up at garage sales, usually looks like crap, but kinda cool at the same time. 3 rolls of 100 "lomo" film. Still haven't tried these.
Batteries are obviously a must. Don't use rechargeable except when I know I'm gonna be using AAs a lot, they loose charge within a few weeks, leaving me with no flash when I need it. Have 3 batteries for the D100 and 2 for the D7000. I could shoot for weeks with 2 EN-EL15s.
Filters I thought would be cool to have at one point. A polarizer that I hate, a 4x "close up" that is fun to play with, and a few UV filters that have come with lenses that I have purchased and sold. I hate filters because they glare so bad, and no way am I paying $100 for ones that won't.
My notebook is well worn, lots of random names in there. Actually I cleaned it out not too long ago.
Cards and reader is obvious.
The bag: A gift from my parents in high school, has my name embroidered on the front and HS logo on the top. Used it for sports when traveling. My amazing wife made some foam dividers and lined it so all the gear is well protected. The small stuff goes in the front pocket, film and filters in the left side, and notebook, pens, planner, and usually some snacks in the right. The big gear in the middle, obviously. Cool thing about it is my 13in Macbook fits on top and snugly under the handles, so I tote that combination around campus fairly often.
The random stuff on the table I didn't notice until I uploaded it. Oh well.
So there is what is in my camera bag!

About the Author:
Nasim Yousaf is an independent scholar and historian whose research primarily focuses on the role of Allama Mashriqi and the Khaksar Tehrik (also known as the Khaksar Movement) in the independence of British India.
The author comes from a famous family in Pakistan; he is a grandson of Allama Mashriqi, who played a pivotal role in bringing independence to British India, and a nephew of Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan, a world-renowned social scientist and pioneer of microcredit/microfinance. The author has written numerous books and articles on South Asian history, presented papers at the New York Conference on Asian Studies (NYCAS) in the USA, and participated in related seminars and meetings. He has a diversity of experiences – first, as a Commissioned Officer in the Air Force, then as a successful businessman and leader in the business community, and now as an independent researcher.
The author’s wealth of experience and knowledge has enabled him to bring unique insights and analysis into the independence of British India. Through his extensive research, the author has uncovered a number of hidden facts behind British India’s partition and exposed the myths that surround the independence of Pakistan and India. Furthermore, he has brought to light Allama Mashriqi’s most critical role in the independence movement. According to the author, the partition of India in 1947, based on the theory that Muslims and Hindus should be divided into two separate nations (Two-Nation Theory), was flawed and promoted for vested political interests. The author is a passionate believer in unity, regardless of religion, class, caste, color or creed; he hopes that the people of Pakistan and India will learn from mistakes of the past and unite to end animosity in the region and bury the possibility of nuclear war.
In addition to works on Allama Mashriqi, the author has also written on Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan’s innovative methods to eradicate poverty and pioneer microcredit/microsavings through the Pakistan (now Bangladesh) Academy for Rural Development in the early 1960s and the renowned Orangi Pilot Project in the 1980s.
Finally, the author has used his extensive experience in international business and travel across Asia, Europe and North America to author four books on international trade. These books provide entrepreneurs with the practical resources to setup, operate, and expand their import/export businesses.
The author has been engaged in his exhaustive research since 1996 and currently has a number of projects in progress.

Artist Bio: William Mortenson, (1897-1965) lived a quiet and secretive life but made quiet the impact on the art community, especially in the world of photography. Joseph Bellows Gallery described his art as combining "the notions of classical art and literature with the allure and phantasm of Hollywood." Mortensen had a studio in Laguna beach California and often made his living taking photos of Hollywood stars including Fay Wray, Cecil B. deMille and Marlene Dietrich. He later took promotional photos for L.A Sunday Times creating dramatic scenes with actors in costume. He was a master of lighting and wrote manuals on the subject along with the problems of posing. His developing techniques were unique and his alternative process often included manipulating his photos with razor blades or carbon pencils. His photos tended to be more adorned and dramatic challenging the concepts of the up and coming "purest" movement of the time. Many regarded Mortensen as the enemy of photography, treating his photos as a threat (perhaps to common sense), and excluded him from the elitist art communities. His photography fell out of favor with the masses and his career slipped away. Nude with Clock is one of many studio pictures taken by Mortensen. This image with the over sized clock and the woman stretching luxuriously reminds me of a combination between Salvador Dali and a Hollywood stage setting. The subject matter is both whimsical and bizarre.
Fernando Botero calls this painting Still Life with Watermelon / Naturaleza muerta con sandia. He has very descriptive titles.
Desert Botanical Garden as part of the Fernando Botero installation has an exhibition highlighting his paintings, drawings, and smaller sculptures in Dorrance Hall.
Fernando Botero (Colombia, 1932-2023) Still Life with Watermelon / Naturaleza muerta con sandia 1973. Oil on Canvas / Oleo sobre lienzo. 68 5/7,x 74 5/8 inches / pulgados. Private Collection / Coleccion privada
The neutral quality of the subject matter in still life enables the painter to focus on purely formal matters. As Botero once stated, "I do not wish to convey metaphysical feelings . . . I want to view themes from a painterly perspective, not as a commentator, a philosopher or as a psychoanalyst. I do not want to express profound thoughts on the world or on life in general. I wish I could always paint as if I were depicting fruits."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Botero
Fernando Botero Angulo (19 April 1932 – 15 September 2023)[2] was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor.[3] His signature style, also known as "Boterismo", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. He was considered the most recognized and quoted artist from Latin America in his lifetime,[4][5][6] and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris, at different times.[7]
Self-styled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists",[8] Botero came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. He began creating sculptures after moving to Paris in 1973, achieving international recognition with exhibitions around the world by the 1990s.[9][10] His art is collected by many major international museums, corporations, and private collectors, sometimes selling for millions of dollars.[11] In 2012, he received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.[12]
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.

Please, no group invites; thank you!
Southwold is a small town on the North Sea coast, in the Waveney district of the English county of Suffolk. It is located on the North Sea coast at the mouth of the River Blyth within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is around 11 miles (18 km) south of Lowestoft, 29 miles (47 km) north-east of Ipswich and 97 miles (156 km) north-east of London. It is within the parliamentary constituency of Suffolk Coastal. Southwold was mentioned in Domesday Book (1086) as a fishing port, and after the "capricious River Blyth withdrew from Dunwich in 1328, bringing trade to Southwold in the 15th century", it received its town charter from Henry VII in 1489. Over the following centuries, however, a shingle bar built up across the harbour mouth, preventing the town from becoming a major Early Modern port: "The shingle at Southwold Harbour, the mouth of the Blyth, is ever shifting," William Whittaker observed in 1887. Southwold was the home of a number of Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s, notably a party of 18 assembled under Rev. Young, which travelled in the Mary Ann in 1637. Richard Ibrook, born in Southwold and a former bailiff of the town, emigrated to Hingham, Massachusetts, along with Rev. Peter Hobart, son of Edmund Hobart of Hingham, Norfolk. Rev. Hobart had been an assistant vicar of St Edmund's Church, Southwold after graduating from Magdalene College, Cambridge. Hobart married in America Rebecca Ibrook, daughter of his fellow Puritan Richard Ibrook. The migrants to Hingham were led by Robert Peck, vicar of St Andrew's Church in Hingham and a native of Beccles. In 1659 a fire devastated most of the town and damaged St Edmund's Church, whose original structure dated from the 12th century. The fire created a number of open spaces within the town which were never rebuilt. Today this "series of varied and very delightful village greens" and the restriction of expansion because of the surrounding marshes, have preserved its genteel appearance. On the green just above the beach, descriptively named Gun Hill, the six 18-pounder cannon commemorate the Battle of Sole Bay, fought in 1672 between English and French fleets on one side and the Dutch (under Michiel de Ruyter) on the other. The battle was bloody but indecisive and many bodies were washed ashore. Southwold Museum has a collection of mementos of the event. It has occasionally been said that these cannon were captured from the Scots at Culloden and given to the town by the Duke of Cumberland, who had landed at Southwold in October 1745 having been recalled from Europe to deal with the Jacobite threat, but they are much larger than those used by Charles Edward Stuart's army in that campaign. During World War I, it was widely thought that these cannon were one reason why this part of the coast was bombarded by the German Fleet as a "fortified coast". In World War II the cannon were prudently removed, reputedly buried for safety, and returned to their former position after hostilities. Southwold lighthouse was commissioned in 1890 and automated and electrified in 1938. It stands as a prominent landmark in the centre of the town and is a Grade II listed building. It is 31 metres (102 ft) metres tall, standing 37 metres (121 ft) metres above sea level. It is built of brick and painted white and has 113 steps around a spiral staircase. The lighthouse replaced three local lighthouses that were under serious threat from coastal erosion. It suffered a fire in its original oil fired lamp just six days after commissioning but survived and today operates a rotating 150 watt lamp with a range of 24 nautical miles (44 km; 28 mi). Guided visits are run by the Southwold Millennium Foundation. Adnams Brewery was established in the town by George and Ernest Adnams in 1872 with the purchase of the Sole Bay Brewery which had been established in 1818. In 1890 the brewery was re-built on its current site in the centre of the town. The brewery is the town's largest employer and has been modernised and expanded in recent years with the development of an energy efficient brewery, a new distribution centre on the outskirts of the town and a distillery. In 2011 it received the Good Pub Guide Brewery of the Year Award. Southwold Pier was built in 1900 and at 247 metres (810 ft) it was long enough to accommodate the Belle steamers which carried trippers along the coast at that time. In World War II, it was weakened by two breaches, and in 1955 a large section was destroyed by a gale. The pier was entirely rebuilt and restored in 2001 and is now about 190 metres (620 ft) long. Whilst many English seaside piers are in decline, Southwold Pier is enjoying renewed popularity, helped by a collection of modern coin-operated novelty machines made by Tim Hunkin and the occasional berth of paddle steamers such as PS Waverley and the MV Balmoral. A model boat pond adjacent to the pier is used for the Southwold Model Yacht regattas that have been held since the late Victorian period. Some of the boats entered are up to 80 years old and include replicas of beach yawls. Regattas are usually held in the spring and summer with the largest, the annual regatta, held at the end of the summer season.
