"Before the endgame, the Gods have placed the middle game." Siegbert Tarrasch
In the cemetery at Wainhouse Tower, Halifax. England
January 2023.
"The tower was commissioned as a chimney by John Edward Wainhouse, who owned the local dye works. In order to comply with the new smoke abatement act of 1870, Wainhouse, who had a good appreciation of architecture, wanted the chimney to be an object of beauty."
The fog banks held on for much of the afternoon. The people in the uplands wondered if the people in the lowlands knew how blue the sky was beyond their shrouded gloom.
DIgital - This one deserves a zoom in.

“Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that… Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often... but we don't laugh any more.”
.Samuel Beckett.

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not die
Cry!
Last fire will rise
Behind those eyes
Black house will rock
Blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear
That voice so clear
Through broken walls
That scream I hear
Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)
Blue masquerade
Strangers look on
When will they learn
This loneliness?
Temptation heat
Beats like a drum
Deep in your veins
I will not lie
Little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)
My Shangri-Las
I can't forget
Why you were mine
I need you now!
Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)
Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)

After more than 12 years studying Saturn, its rings and moons, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has entered the final year of its epic voyage. The conclusion of the historic scientific odyssey is planned for September 2017, but not before the spacecraft completes a daring two-part endgame.
Beginning on November 30, Cassini's orbit will send the spacecraft just past the outer edge of the main rings. These orbits, a series of 20, are called the F-ring orbits. During these weekly orbits, Cassini will approach to within 4,850 miles (7,800 kilometers) of the center of the narrow F ring, with its peculiar kinked and braided structure.

The coast has been my bread and butter for outdoor photography. Even though over the years I have visited and attempted to photograph most of the coastal areas in my vicinity, I am always on the lookout for somewhere new that I may have missed. I was initially hesitant coming here, but this stretch of beach was quite phenomenal with the conditions Aaron and I had this evening. The multitude of sea stacks reminded me of the Oregon coast and there were plenty of compositions to attempt. The sunset light lasted a while as I worked my way across the beach at different spots. This was the final composition I tried and it ultimately was my favorite of the evening.
This stretch of coast is littered with the remains of the trees that have fallen from the eroding cliffs above. Never had any luck with light here before but had a great sunrise followed by some lovely warm light to complent the sand and skeletal wood.
To celebrate JtO's release and the death of Bonkle G2...I give you Umarak the Destroyer.

Encounter Bay, Victor Harbor, South Australia, one of those places where the metronomic thunder of incoming waves is strangely relaxing.
The final stages of a game, especially the last or next-to-last deal. I'm red and hopefully the next hand I will wipe out my husband!!!!

Endgame for the ranunculus, anyway. Such a strange and unwieldy name.
Yesterday, I thought hard about giving this up. I had a stressy moment about continuing to fit everything in. Work too busy; life too hectic. And I'm bored of taking flowers. But, hey, I'm still here.
Trying to catch up again, but I may be a bit of a passer-by for a while. :)

What?! Something that isn’t the Batcave?! What is the meaning of this?!
Well I’m glad you asked faithful follower! The Batcave is actually finished! I have it packed up to take to Brickfair Virginia next week. I’ll post some high quality pics of it then.
So now that the Batcave is finished and I finally have my desk/photo taking spot back, I figured it was time to post my Endgame figs. Fitting, as Endgame just became the highest grossing film in box office of all time. Anyway, on to the figs
Nebula- the paper football champion
Rocket- the Build-a-Bear
Ronin- the guy that doesn’t want hope
Thor- with cheese wiz blood
Iron Man- 😢
Captain America- should I say anything about him? No, I don’t think I will.
Black Widow- 😢
War Machine- boom you looking for this?
Captain Marvel- I’m pretty sure black widow’s peanut butter sandwich got more screen time then she did.
Ant Man- sup regular sized man
Prof. Hulk- I see this as an absolute win!
So yeah, those are my Endgame figs! Hope you like them!

Endgame (Coulrophobia), 2010
Max Streicher - Toronto, Canada
Vinyl (Recyled Billboards)
A back alley is negative space, a liminal zone between the architectural order on either side—stage for the shady and dangerous. In Endgame (Coulrophobia)* giant inflatable clown heads are stuck between two buildings high over an alley. The heads are made of vinyl from recycled billboards. Referring to the history of collage as a tool for turning propaganda against itself, the artist has stated: “There is something satisfying in reshaping corporate ads into something whimsical, generous or even scary. Clowns on their own embody a certain tension; we expect them to be funny and yet many people experience them as sinister. The tension here is physical as the heads are held in place by their own internal air pressure. Their squeezed and distorted expressions add to a sense of urgency. It is a situation that invites any number of imaginative narratives. Perhaps they are renegade parade balloons whose joyride has gone tragically wrong. In any case, these happy-go-lucky characters are now pinned in a back alley. While still monumental, they are now vulnerable in a way that invites a kind of empathy, but possibly a guilty empathy, or schadenfreude, fear combined with the pleasing anticipation of a spectacularly destructive end.
Max Streicher is a sculptor and installation artist from Alberta, now residing in Toronto. Since 1989 he has worked extensively with inflatable technology in kinetic sculptures and installation works. He has shown widely in museums and public galleries across Canada and abroad. He was a founding member of the Nethermind collective of artists who mounted four large exhibitions in alternative spaces in Toronto between 1991 and 1995. Max Streicher is represented by galleries in Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Mumbai and New York.
