My first book, entitled Shorebirds of Ireland will be in your shops soon!!!
The Arctic Skua, Stercorarius parasiticus, known as the Parasitic Jaeger in North America, and referred to as the Parasitic Skua in some publications, is a seabird in the skua family Stercorariidae.
This species breeds in the north of Eurasia and North America, with significant populations as far south as northern Scotland. It nests on dry tundra, higher fells and islands. Like other skuas, it will fly at the head of a human or fox approaching its nest. Although it cannot inflict serious damage, it is a frightening and painful experience. It is a migrant, wintering at sea in the tropics and southern oceans.
Identification of this skua is complicated by its similarities to Long-tailed Skua and Pomarine Skua, and the existence of three colour phases. This is one of the smaller skuas at about 41 cm length, excluding the pointed central tail feathers of the summer adult, which can add another 7 cm or so. Light phase adults have a brown back, mainly white underparts and dark primary wing feathers with a white "flash". The head and neck are yellowish-white with a black cap and there is a pointed central tail projection.
This is a dark phase adult taken in northern Iceland.

This piece is entitled "self portrait of ones entire life". I executed this piece with the a theory I developed that is called Dimensionalism . This theory has its inspiration form my experiences with pre-seizure events for I have epilepsy. In this state I become detached from reality and see time in a different construct,that of a hyper intensity. A hyper awareness of a moment and everything that constructs it from sounds,thoughts,things tactile . While in these pre seizure states, some instances time is slowed down/speed up or frozen. While in other instances I am forced away form all comprehension of what is in my present environment and reality takes on a totally foreign existence where all has to be re learned.
For the viewers of my piece all of life is in dimensions and how one moves through these dimensions of either large dimensional constructs such as ones life or to the minute dimensional construct of a simple word. Thus giving the viewer this new perspective of time and space. The suspended animation of the piece is only dynamic as the viewer views the piece from the narrower sides form either end where a visible play of time sequencing exists and ones eye is drawn into the piece...
A perspective of a Dimesionalist where one has a view of a moment with a gods eye/time traveler or a pure energy source . From looking at a simple word to a memory one has. All is captured in dimensions. There are other branches of my theory that further portray my experiences. Demensionalising and facitile dimensionalism. These ideas also play with the constructs of how one sees time/moment.I hope to execute these ideas in the future...........
All these ideas/theories have a direct correlation with present day society...from the over abundance of information that is transferred by different technologies to the ways these technologies directly affect our existence and how it adds other dimensions of time to our lives.
I will be placing more info online in the future. and creating a temp website that fully explains all the details and shows examples of these theories as well as go into more details..

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rose is a perennial flowering shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species. The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp thorns. Most are native to Asia, with smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. [1]
The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval-shaped leaflets. The plants fleshy edible fruit is called a rose hip. Rose plants range in size from tiny, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 20 metres in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize, which has given rise to the many types of garden roses.
The name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed through Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: rhodon (Aeolic form: wrodon), from Aramaic wurrdā, from Assyrian wurtinnu, from Old Iranian *warda (cf. Armenian vard, Avestan warda, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr).[2][3]
Attar of rose is the steam-extracted essential oil from rose flowers that has been used in perfumes for centuries. Rose water, made from the rose oil, is widely used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, and marmalade, or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high Vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products.
The leaves of most species are 5–15 centimetres long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. The vast majority of roses are deciduous, but a few (particularly in Southeast Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species roses have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. The ovary is inferior, developing below the petals and sepals.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Rose species that produce open-faced flowers are attractive to pollinating bees and other insects, thus more apt to produce hips. Many of the domestic cultivars are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are actually prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself. Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and R. pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight spines, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses only have vestigial prickles that have no points.
Roses are popular garden shrubs, as well as the most popular and commonly sold florists' flowers. In addition to their great economic importance as a florists crop, roses are also of great value to the perfume industry.
Many thousands of rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use; most are double-flowered with many or all of the stamens having mutated into additional petals. As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars, varieties and species was possible when a rosarium was planted by Loddiges nursery for Abney Park Cemetery, an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in England.
Twentieth-century rose breeders generally emphasized size and colour, producing large, attractive blooms with little or no scent. Many wild and "old-fashioned" roses, by contrast, have a strong sweet scent.
Roses thrive in temperate climates, though certain species and cultivars can flourish in sub-tropical and even tropical climates, especially when grafted onto appropriate rootstock.
Rose pruning, sometimes regarded as a horticultural art form, is largely dependent on the type of rose to be pruned, the reason for pruning, and the time of year it is at the time of the desired pruning.
Most Old Garden Roses of strict European heritage (albas, damasks, gallicas, etc.) are shrubs that bloom once yearly, in late spring or early summer, on two-year-old (or older) canes. As such, their pruning requirements are quite minimal, and are overall similar to any other analogous shrub, such as lilac or forsythia. Generally, only old, spindly canes should be pruned away, to make room for new canes. One-year-old canes should never be pruned because doing so will remove next year's flower buds. The shrubs can also be pruned back lightly, immediately after the blooms fade, to reduce the overall height or width of the plant. In general, pruning requirements for OGRs are much less laborious and regimented than for Modern hybrids.
Modern hybrids, including the hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, modern miniatures, and English roses, have a complex genetic background that almost always includes China roses (R. chinensis). China roses were evergrowing, everblooming roses from humid subtropical regions that bloomed constantly on any new vegetative growth produced during the growing season. Their modern hybrid descendants exhibit similar habits: Unlike Old Garden Roses, modern hybrids bloom continuously (until stopped by frost) on any new canes produced during the growing season. They therefore require pruning away of any spent flowering stem, in order to divert the plant's energy into producing new growth and thence new flowers.
Additionally, Modern Hybrids planted in cold-winter climates will almost universally require a "hard" annual pruning (reducing all canes to 8"–12" in height) in early spring. Again, because of their complex China rose background, Modern Hybrids are typically not as cold-hardy as European OGRs, and low winter temperatures often desiccate or kill exposed canes. In spring, if left unpruned, these damanged canes will often die back all the way to the shrub's root zone, resulting in a weakened, disfigured plant. The annual "hard" pruning of hybrid teas, floribundas, etc. should generally be done in early spring; most gardeners coincide this pruning with the blooming of forsythia shrubs. Canes should be cut about 1/2" above a vegetative bud (identifiable as a point on a cane where a leaf once grew).
For both Old Garden Roses and Modern Hybrids, any weak, damaged or diseased growth should be pruned away completely, regardless of the time of year. Any pruning of any rose should also be done so that the cut is made at a forty five degree angle above a vegetative bud. This helps the pruned stem callus over more quickly, and also mitigates moisture buildup over the cut, which can lead to disease problems.
For all general rose pruning (including cutting flowers for arrangements), sharp secateurs (hand-held, sickle-bladed pruners) should be used to cut any growth 1/2" or less in diameter. For canes of a thickness greater than 1/2", pole loppers or a small handsaw are generally more effective; secateurs may be damaged or broken in such instances.
Deadheading is the simple practice of manually removing any spent, faded, withered, or discoloured flowers from rose shrubs over the course of the blooming season. The purpose of deadheading is to encourage the plant to focus its energy and resources on forming new offshoots and blooms, rather than in fruit production. Deadheading may also be perfomed, if spent flowers are unsightly, for aethestic purposes. Roses are particularly responsive to deadheading.
Deadheading causes different effects on different varieties of roses. For continual blooming varieties, whether Old Garden roses or more modern hybrid varieties, deadheading allows the rose plant to continue forming new shoots, leaves, and blooms. For "once-blooming" varieties (that bloom only once each season), deadheading has the effect of causing the plant to form new green growth, even though new blooms will not form until the next blooming season.
For most rose gardeners, deadheading is used to refresh the growth of the rose plants to keep the rose plants strong, vibrant, and productive.
The rose has always been valued for its beauty and has a long history of symbolism. The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with their goddesses of love referred to as Aphrodite and Venus. In Rome a wild rose would be placed on the door of a room where secret or confidential matters were discussed. The phrase sub rosa, or "under the rose", means to keep a secret — derived from this ancient Roman practice.
Early Christians identified the five petals of the rose with the five wounds of Christ. Despite this interpretation, their leaders were hesitant to adopt it because of its association with Roman excesses and pagan ritual. The red rose was eventually adopted as a symbol of the blood of the Christian martyrs. Roses also later came to be associated with the Virgin Mary.
Rose culture came into its own in Europe in the 1800s with the introduction of perpetual blooming roses from China. There are currently thousands of varieties of roses developed for bloom shape, size, fragrance and even for lack of prickles.
Roses are ancient symbols of love and beauty. The rose was sacred to a number of goddesses (including Isis and Aphrodite), and is often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary. 'Rose' means pink or red in a variety of languages (such as Romance languages, Greek, and Polish).
The rose is the national flower of England and the United States[4], as well as being the symbol of England Rugby, and of the Rugby Football Union. It is also the provincial flower of Yorkshire and Lancashire in England (the white rose and red rose respectively) and of Alberta (the wild rose), and the state flower of four US states: Iowa and North Dakota (R. arkansana), Georgia (R. laevigata), and New York[5] (Rosa generally). Portland, Oregon counts "City of Roses" among its nicknames, and holds an annual Rose Festival.
Roses are occasionally the basis of design for rose windows, such windows comprising five or ten segments (the five petals and five sepals of a rose) or multiples thereof; however most Gothic rose windows are much more elaborate and were probably based originally on the wheel and other symbolism.
A red rose (often held in a hand) is a symbol of socialism or social democracy; it is also used as a symbol by the British and Irish Labour Parties, as well as by the French, Spanish (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party), Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Brazilian, Dutch (Partij van de Arbeid) and European socialist parties. This originated when the red rose was used as a badge by the marchers in the May 1968 street protests in Paris. White Rose was a World War II non violent resistance group in Germany.
Roses are often portrayed by artists. The French artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté produced some of the most detailed paintings of roses.
Henri Fantin-Latour was also a prolific painter of still life, particularly flowers including roses. The Rose 'Fantin-Latour' was named after the artist.
Other impressionists including Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne have paintings of roses among their works.
Rose perfumes are made from attar of roses or rose oil, which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam distilling the crushed petals of roses. The technique originated in Persia (the word Rose itself is from Persian) then spread through Arabia and India, but nowadays about 70% to 80% of production is in the Rose Valley near Kazanluk in Bulgaria, with some production in Qamsar in Iran and Germany.[citation needed]
The Kaaba in Mecca is annually washed by the Iranian rose water from Qamsar. In Bulgaria, Iran and Germany, damask roses (Rosa damascena 'Trigintipetala') are used. In the French rose oil industry Rosa centifolia is used. The oil, pale yellow or yellow-grey in color, is sometimes called 'Rose Absolute' oil to distinguish it from diluted versions. The weight of oil extracted is about one three-thousandth to one six-thousandth of the weight of the flowers; for example, about two thousand flowers are required to produce one gram of oil.
The main constituents of attar of roses are the fragrant alcohols geraniol and l-citronellol; and rose camphor, an odourless paraffin. β-Damascenone is also a significant contributor to the scent.

This statue, entitled "The Resolute Lincoln", was sculpted by well-known Lincoln sculptor Avard Fairbanks. The statue depicts Lincoln at a pivotal time in his development, where he resolves to put down the ax and pick up the book. It is meant to reflect the changes that Lincoln went through while at New Salem. The statue, a gift from the National Society of the Son of Utah Pioneers, was dedicated in 1954.

A kinetic sculpture entitled Heureka by Jean Tinguely (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Tinguely) on the shore of Lake Zurich.
The sculpture is as much an auditory event as it is visual, with all the rusted whirrings of the gears, belts, wheels, and pulleys.
I found a video (alas, no sound) on YouTube, which conveys some of the effect. Watch the video all the way to the end, the last few seconds convey the scale of the machine.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8plV5trScw
It was interesting trying to photograph the sculpture, because there is so much going on. I decided to take a few shots of the gears I like the most. I found it impossible to take a picture of the entire machine that captured enough of the details that made it interesting.
Just now I browsed around Flickr to see if I could find a macro view of the sculpture I liked, and I like this one. flickr.com/photos/bskl/74556729/

India’s top judge said Monday (18/03/2013) that the Italian ambassador cannot claim diplomatic immunity in a growing dispute over two Italian Marines who skipped bail while on trial for murder.
Chief Justice Altamas Kabir said Daniele Mancini, who had negotiated the marines’ release last month so they could vote in Italy’s election, had waived his immunity by giving an undertaking to a court that the pair would return.
“A person who comes to court and gives an undertaking has no immunity,” Kabir told a hearing into the case, which has caused a diplomatic crisis between Rome and New Delhi.
Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone, who are accused of murdering two Indian fishermen last year, had been given permission to fly to Italy to cast their votes on the understanding that they would return.
But the Italian government announced last week that it would renege on its commitment to send the men back, prompting fury in New Delhi.
The Indian government has warned of “consequences” and is reviewing its ties with Italy, while the Supreme Court ordered that Mancini should remain in the country and explain himself in court Monday.
Mancini’s lawyer argued that the diplomat enjoyed immunity in line with international rules that also guarantee foreign representatives freedom of movement. But he pledged that his client would stay in the country.
India’s Foreign Ministry has also argued that Mancini may have waived his immunity by willingly submitting himself to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court by signing a personal affidavit guaranteeing the return of the marines.
Without legal protection, he could be prosecuted for contempt of court.

Italy waived the immunity of it's ambassador under Vienna convention when they made him the guarantor to ensure the marines return to India. The Italian government and the ambassador approached the court with the plea. Therefore, there is indeed waiver by the Italian government. Now they cannot go back and claim there was no waiver. You can argue if immunity can be implicit waived or not. That depends on how good a lawyer you are.
Secondly, every law has exceptions including the Vienna convention.
Article 32 (3) The initiation of proceedings by a diplomatic agent or by a person enjoying immunity from jurisdiction under article 37 shall preclude him from invoking immunity from jurisdiction in respect of any counterclaim directly connected with the principal claim.
4.Waiver of immunity from jurisdiction in respect of civil or administrative proceedings shall not be held to imply waiver of immunity in respect of the execution of the judgement, for which a separate waiver shall be necessary.
So your argument is that India is violating Article 32(4). We haven't gotten to that part yet. We are still at Article 32(3). Restriction on movement is not a judgement. The Supreme Court is India. There is no distinction. The justices are well aware of the convention and are not acting illegally. They are restrained even in their determination.
If the marines don't return by 22nd they will hold the Ambassador in contempt and ask the Indian executive to declare him persona non-grata. This judgement will be in compliance with the Vienna convention. Convicted criminal ambassador won't serve time in India, Italy can choose to ignore the judgement. How is that for justice in line with the International Law.
If you must make a legal argument make one. Otherwise please stop just repeating what someone else told you on why it's illegal.

According to Indian court of law, no institution, nation, body or a designation can produce an affidavit in court, not even president of India can give an affidavit as president of Republic of India, he has to give produce it as an individual, in this case, 2 fishermen lost life in sea, cost guards caught to marines and a case was registered. An Italian citizen came as a guarantor ( he can not produce a guaranty as an ambassador) so he does not enjoy any immunity in the case. And if the bail he produced is not honored he will be held responsible as an individual, not his post. Moreover Supreme court of INDIA did not asked him or Italian gov. to be to produce a bail for marines, Mancini came of his own. So the case is simple in the court of law, he as a common citizen of Italy is accused of not honoring an affidavit and if on or before 22 march marines do not report back in court of law in INDIA. And as the case is not against the ambassador but only Mr. Mancini (Ambassador cannot produce an affidavit) Vienna convention Diplomatic immunity does not come into play.
There is a fundamental misunderstanding at work here. The Indian Supreme Court is asserting its right to claim that in its opinion the Italian Ambassador has voided his immunity and issuing an order on that basis. However, under the Geneva Convention, the Ambassador has no right or power to void his immunity, only his home country can do so. The Supreme Court may pretend, on the basis of an argument heard under the rubric of Public Interest Litigation, that it has no cognizance of a second act, by the Ambassador's home country, asserting or voiding his immunity and that being the case, it is perfectly at liberty to make any observation or order, no matter how foolish or contrary to Law- however, such observations and orders have no legal force with respect to the Ambassador.
India will not be guilty of breaching the Geneva Convention unless it takes some concrete action to prevent the Ambassador from going where he wishes. The fact that they may take such action on the basis of an illegal order by the Supreme Court is irrelevant. Any Govt. may choose to defy the Law at any time. The Ambassador has recourse to International Law, not the Indian Supreme Court, if his diplomatic immunity is violated.
Put simply, a Court can say anything it likes and order anything it likes with respect to people over whom it has no jurisdiction. Until there is physical enforcement of a judgement against a diplomat, no breach of diplomatic immunity arises.
The comic element in this is that the Supreme Court's bizarre action has prevented the Govt of India from expelling the Ambassador- which they would otherwise have been justified in doing to highlight their grievance with the Italian Govt.
To be clear, the saber rattling on the part of the Supreme Court has absolutely no practical meaning- other than signalling its displeasure- nor does the Italian Ambassador believe himself in any danger of detention.
The U.S. Supreme Court is welcome to say that Vladimir Putin is a dolphin who has escaped from the Miami Sea world and showed be returned there forthwith but no diplomatic issue arises until the U.S. Govt. tries to enforce that Judgement because it is a matter of fact, not judicial opinion, that Vladimir Putin is subject to Russian jurisdiction even though his shaved and glistening body does look remarkably like a dolphin.
I've entitled this piece Affliction because that word means, a condition of suffering or distress.

The Harlequin Duck, Histrionicus histrionicus, is a small sea duck. In North America it is also known as Lords and ladies. Other names include painted duck, totem pole duck, rock duck, glacier duck, mountain duck, white-eyed diver, squeaker and blue streak.
Adult males are slate blue with chestnut sides and white markings including a white crescent at the base of the bill. Adult females are less colourful, with brownish-grey plumage and a white patch on the head around the eye. Both adults have a white ear patch. Their breeding habitat is cold fast moving streams in north-western and north-eastern North America, Greenland, Iceland and western Russia. The nest is usually located in a well-concealed location on the ground near a stream. They are usually found near pounding surf and white water.
They are short distance migrants and most winter near rocky shorelines on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. They are very rare vagrants to western Europe.
The above are female Harlequin Ducks.
A cultural event entitled “Follow Georgia” featuring an exhibition of work by contemporary Georgian artist Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze and a music performance by ethno-jazz band “Shin” was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from October 2-11, 2017.
Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze’s works take roots in antiquity and mythology as well as in surrealism, which successfully combine art and construction. The music of the Shin smoothly combines Georgian folk melodies with jazz, which is the sound of Georgia’s musical encounter with the world.
WIPO co-organized the event with the Government of Georgia to mark the 25th Anniversary of the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia – SAKPATENTI.

Armory Center for the Arts is pleased to present an exhibition entitled Please Please Please, which features photography and text by Milwaukee-based artist Nicholas Grider. Please Please Please, organized by Armory curator Irene Tsatsos, will be on display from February 12 – May 13, 2012 in the Armory’s Mezzanine West gallery. A public opening reception will take place on Saturday, February 11 from 7-9pm in conjunction with Armory’s opening of simultaneous solo exhibitions by Richard Jackson, Dawn Kasper, and Jocelyn Foye. The exhibitions by Grider, Kasper, and Foye coincide with the Armory’s lead exhibition, Richard Jackson’sAccidents in Abstract Painting, the Armory, creating an opportunity for visitors to reflect on the shared conceptual and/or formal considerations between and among the works.
Please Please Please will include selections from several bodies of work, including How to Do Things with Men, Rorschach Butterflies, and several recently written sonnets. How to Do Things with Men, Grider’s longest-running project, consists of a series of portraits of men in suits in their domestic environments to explore the tension between pose, wardrobe, and setting. Rorschach Butterflies features colored pencil drawings, made from butterfly stencils, that were digitally manipulated to form “inkblots” as part of a larger body of work dealing with the subjectivity of medical evaluation. Images from the two bodies of work will be interspersed throughout the gallery, along with a selection of sonnets that address themes of desire and loss.

This panorama is entitled “Occoquan,” named after the town in which it was photographed in. When printed at its native size, the panorama should measure approximately 10” tall by 140” (~11.6 feet) wide.
Hello everyone and welcome to my first photography project of the year! After roughly three years of searching, thinking, photographing, developing, and all that, I figured out what my main theme will be for the rest of my photography career in High School: Panoramas. From the simplistic pictures of Photo I, the random creative projects of Photo II, the suicide and murder themes of early Photo III, to my main theme of old towns captured as a panoramas from late Photo III and onward. I didn’t choose to shoot old towns on panoramas just because it might seem easy; in fact, the general practice of editing a panorama is far from simple, for my first one for this project, it took approximately two weeks of nonstop editing. On average, it took me approximately 20 minutes to capture a 270 degree panorama, and it could take longer depending on how populated and crowded it was to shoot the whole thing. Not only that, since the panoramas are being edited at their native size (10 inches by infinity inches), they require beefy computers to be edited completely. Our editing PCs at school fulfil the guidelines for “beefy” at least for regular photo editing, but in reality, they aren’t the best for panorama editing at all. In the end, the process is time consuming and requires a lot of patience. For the easiness of printing and mounting, the panoramas are printed on 13” x 19” semi-gloss paper. If I were to use these panoramas in a contest, for example, then I’d print them at their full size. The first panorama is entitled “Occoquan,” named after the town in which it was photographed in. When printed at its native size, the panorama should measure approximately 10” tall by 140” (~11.6 feet) wide. The next panorama is entitled “Clifton,” like “Occoquan,” it was named after the town in which it was photographed in. When printed at its native size, the panorama should measure approximately 10” tall by 168” (~14 feet) wide, “Clifton” was photographed at a full 360 degree view, meaning it’s a complete capture of everything that happened around the camera. The final panorama is entitled “Alexandria,” also named after the town in which it was photographed in. When printed at its native size, the panorama should measure approximately 10” tall by 127” (~10.6 feet) wide, “Alexandria” was photographed at a 270 degree view, meaning its only 3/4ths of the total landscape. All of the panoramas successfully capture everything going on in the town at that moment in time like people walking, going about their day and cars driving by going were they need to. These panoramas aren’t just some photos of towns, they’re a time capsule; for example, when people take family pictures, they want the memories to be kept in a physical and authentic form; however, when you take those pictures, you miss what goes on in other parts of the scene, the style of people, the activities of people, and most importantly, the decade and era of people. These panoramas photograph a date, not just an event. They photograph how we lived during this period in time because only time, itself, can change. Eventually we won’t live life in this lifestyle anymore, time moves on and things change. That’s my goal in capturing “Occoquan,” “Alexandria,” and “Clifton.” Well that’s all I really have to say about them, I’ll see you all in my second quarter project!

View of Panel 2, entitled "Navigating Trade Secret Systems in the Changing IP and Innovation Environment", of the WIPO Symposium on Trade Secrets and Innovation.
Taking place at the WIPO headquarters in Geneva and virtually from May 23-24, 2022, the Symposium explored the role of trade secrets and innovation from policy, legal and business perspectives.
It also took a closer look at how patent systems, trade secret systems and others are intertwined in knowledge creation and dissemination in the wider context of the intellectual property (IP) system. Discussions on topical issues addressed how digital information is increasingly driving the international innovation ecosystem – and the role of trade secrets in the development and dissemination of medical technologies.

These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.

The performance series, entitled The Market of Toys, was created specifically for Times Square. It is composed of four distinctive minimalistic single-element actions representative of Akademia Ruchu’s 40 years of experience working in the public realm. These austere, participatory interventions will simultaneously contrast and emphasize the vibrant character of Times Square and its multitude of visitors. The performances will be complemented by videos chronicling some of the collective’s seminal performances. These 30 second videos will play every 5 minutes on 10 CEMUSA newspaper kiosks located between 34th-48th Streets. A printed exhibition in the form of a newspaper documenting Academia Ruchu’s deep history of socially and politically driven public performances will be handed out to visitors.
Akademia Ruchu (The Academy of Movement) has been a political sounding board in Poland since its establishment in 1973 in Warsaw. Operating at the juncture of theater, performances, political actions, and anonymous interventions in the public realm which and with the involvement of spectators.
