A subterranean walkway at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is illuminated by Hayden's neon. The work, by Canadian artist Michael Hayden (1943- ), is entitled 'Sky's The Limit' and was constructed in 1987. Sometimes called "The Gershwin Tunnel", this somewhat bizarre walkway connects concourses B and C of Terminal 1, which is operated by United Airlines.

Truly a remarkable journey.......as one traverses the tunnel the sounds of Gershwin's 1924 musical composition of Rhapsody In Blue permeate the area. The sound is synchronized by computer with the color changes of the neon, for the final effect.

The effects in this photograph are the result of an image transformation application called "Prisma". Prisma transforms normal photos into amazing images that attempt to replicate the human artistic touch. This phone-based app turns photographs into digital art in the style of drawings, watercolors, and paintings.

Today I begin my series entitled Waterworld.

Shooting underwater has become such a passion of mine that I can’t wait for each shoot. Ironically I am such a baby when it comes to getting into cold lakes but once I’m in, I’m at home and ready to submerge myself into Waterworld.

This photo entitled Waterworld: “Enter” gives us our starting point. This unnamed character leaves her world of sun, earth and air to enter the unknown depths of the sea. In the weeks to come I look forward to sharing with you the unfolding story…..

The Spandau Citadel (German: Zitadelle Spandau) is a fortress in Berlin, Germany, one of the best-preserved Renaissance military structures of Europe. Built from 1559–94 atop a medieval fort on an island near the meeting of the Havel and the Spree, it was designed to protect the town of Spandau, which is now part of Berlin. In recent years it has been used as a museum and has become a popular tourist spot. Furthermore, the inner courtyard of the Citadel has served as an open air concert venue in the summertime since 2005.

Standing in the Swing is the final part of five-piece suite called Goodbye To All That, which appears on Marillion's celebrated 1994 album, entitled Brave.

In 2013 I had the privilege of witnessing Brave performed live in its entirety. During the playing of Goodbye To All That the lighting suddenly illuminated the faces of a group of grown men standing right next to me. Tears glistened on their cheeks and their eyes were transfixed in a state of euphoria. This is an image that has stayed with me ever since, a vivid reminder of the power that music has to move people's souls. And, I should add, all types of music have the potential to work this magic.

Locally referred to as “the mirror man” but actually entitle “Still” by the sculptor, this figure was created by the Scottish sculptor and environmental artist Rob Mulholland, and sits on the shoreline Loch Earn.

Situated just a few meters from the shore of Loch Earn at the village of St Fillans, the three metre tall mirrored figure has become a familiar figure for many in central Scotland. The Mirror Man was first installed in 2014 and became an attraction to the local area, encouraging visitors to the Central Scotland’s Loch Earn, before it was suddenly removed by its mystery owner in 2017.

Its recent return was made possible by local volunteer group “St Fillans in Bloom” who managed to raise sufficient funds to purchase the statue and bring it back to the Loch where it first appeared in 2014.

The artist behind the sculpture said he created STILL to symbolise the physical and spiritual relationship between humans and the natural world. While the rear of the statue is different to the front in that it depicts many of mirrored tiles which make up the surface being blown away off its back and is thought to represent the changing face and future of mankind.

It’s as though a ticking clock constantly looms over me, reminding me how quickly life passes.

"Seabirds" from the 2018 EP entitled An Extended Play

Music and lyrics by Pizzagirl

www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kwYOFmOfi8

Well I take my glasses off when I see a beautiful thing

I see it better, see it better, see it better

Just because I'm different skin

Do you think I matter?

Do you think, do you think at all?

Do you feel angry if I do something or say something?

I wonder which ones which

Don't tell me about my body

Don't tell me about my body

When you see it twitch

When you see it twitch

We're just a matter of matter

But I know you’re something else

I love the way things have a double life

We're just a matter of matter

But I know you’re something else

I love the way things have a double life

But if you look hard enough you will never find it

Because the seabirds, they're in my body

Because the seabirds, they're in my head

I wish the seabirds were all around me

I wish the seabirds would leave me dead

Seabirds, seabirds

There's this stream right under this bridge

And I go everyday everyday

The water is thin just like your skin

And it's cold and it's cold and it's pale

We run for meters on bathroom tiles

And we've walked on solid ground

Well I like your body, I like your body

I like the sound, like the sound, like the sound

Like the sound, like the sound, like the sound

Like the sound, like the sound, like the sound

We're just a matter of matter

But I know you’re something else

I love the way things have a double life

We're just a matter of matter

But I know you’re something else

I love the way things have a double life

But if you look hard enough you will never find it

And if you look hard enough you will never try

I wish the seabirds were in my body

I wish the seabirds were in my head

I wish the seabirds were all around me

I wish the seabirds would leave me dead

I wish the seabirds were in my body

I wish the seabirds were in my head

I wish the seabirds were all around me

I wish the seabirds would leave me dead

I've been absolutely obsessed with this song from the very first time I heard it. Lyrically and musically brilliant.

Thank you for your support.

Whatever.

Excerpt from www.muralroutes.com: The design for the mural was created by the youth artists and images are based on youth perspectives and community input of envisioning rights and freedoms. Each youth artist was responsible for creating a panel sharing opinions regarding Freedom and ‘Entitlement’. Images of education, human rights leaders, and different stages of life, rights to owning property, and a unity tree are some of the dominant images present throughout the mural. Doves were used to unify the masterpiece. Vibrant colours enhance the images creating depth engaging all individuals who pass by.

The mural is part of Amnesty International’s Project Urban Canvas, a mural series celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and focuses on article #28 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights which states: “Every individual is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this declaration can be fully realized”.

The mural was created in summer of 2008, with youth artists hired through the Toronto District School Board, Toronto Catholic District School Board Focus on Youth program and the Ministry of Culture Summer Employment Program.

A Tea for the Tillerman

Wickedly Delicious and Delightful

Years ago while doing research for a boring university project I stumbled across old archives for the Glamorgan Gazette from the pre-Great War 1900s.

A story entitled ‘Tea Party Misadventure’ caught my eye.

It was of interest mostly because my mum likes to put on elaborate dress-up tea parties of her own doing in our almost one-hectare backyard garden at home.

There was not much to this old story really, only reporting that at a certain fancy Tea held at the manor house recently the hostess and several guests reported jewels had turned up missing. I was suspiciously under the impression that they were wearing said jewels at the time, for no mention of them being nicked from rooms was made.

This piqued my curiosity because, due I’m sure to some quirk in my DNA, I get perilous shivers thinking some uncommon thief could be that skilled, he/she could undetected, nick the very jewels I’m wearing. Would love to know if I’m unique in that feeling.

That said ….

No mention of an investigation, the cause, or any outcome was given. Nor could I find a follow-up story.

I hate it when I cannot find answers to stories. And this one certainly piqued my rather offbeat interest over how something like that could occur.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Then, much more recently, I had been out with Ginny to see the movie “Cruella.” She had “commandeered” her older Brother’s twin 8-year-old daughters for the occasion.

The movie basically sets up how Cruella became a thief, starting out with these tendencies as a young child.

I will admit that as we sat drinking at the pub afterward later that same evening (after seeing the giggling twin girls off back to thief mum) my mind pictured some of my own Mum’s past fancy tea parties.

I soon combined third memories with that long ago newspaper story of ‘misadventure at a similar function.

Certain scenes of that movie clicked in my alcohol-induced mind as to how the ladies at the fancy tea may have lost their jewellery.

Soon I came up with the seeds of the fictional story below using bits of those tea parties and my ideas on how dropping in a resourceful thief amongst the dressed-up guests' midst them could play out the unanswered questions in the Glamorgan Gazette’s missing jewellery storyline. Sort of filling in the gaps.

The descriptions of that tea described below are taken from years of tea parties Mum has hosted. The details are accurate including the settings, clothing, and jewels worn by the hostess(Mum) and her guests, including Ginny and I at various times.

The character studies of Estella, the wooden bead lady, and the Shannons are also loosely based on past tea party guests.

I guess any posh affair of that sort if carried on for enough years will have its odd occurrences and occasional uninvited guests. Which we have…

And of course, the story as told is a work of fiction.

No actual robbery-related misadventures have ever occurred at one of my Mum’s teas. They were always known to be sensible affairs.

I need to say that because mum still popularly puts them on, and I don't wish to scare anyone off. They are such fun.

The story below may seem far-fetched, but is it really? For something indeed quite odd had happened at that tea in Glamorgan to warrant a reporter’s story?

A Brief Characterization

A Tea for the Tillerman

Acte 1

A Brief Characterization

Like her Mum before her(my Gamma), mine liked to hold these once a fortnight dress up “High” tea affairs with her friends. Held either inside the sunroom, or larger parties carried out in the backyard gardens during warmer months.

The invited were pretty much just ladies our mum knew, which was extensive. But during the summer months, these friends were more than welcome to also invite along daughters, relatives, and such.

They all would certainly get in the mood and have fun with the ongoing theme of a posh tea, trying to outdo one another in the dress-up department.

Elegant evening attire mixed in with cocktail dresses, silk and satin blouses with formal long skirts, and even the occasional repurposed wedding or bridesmaid gowns were the unwritten attire required to attend.

Copious displays of pearls and rhinestones were displayed with added panache. And many a real gemstone was snuck in to show its glitter and gleam off.

It was like they were expecting a member of the royal family to attend, Mum’s affair had grown to be simply that posh.

Tea (and stronger drink) was served and by the time the soirée died down by twilight, our yard(or house) contained a very happily cheerful lot. A laughing and huggy group of well-dressed, inebriated ladies.

A pickpockets dream, I always fancifully told myself as I watched it all play out many times.

This time it was no different, with soon giggling ladies, whom it became very apparent on the day of this tale, would have presented easy marks for the tomfoolery of someone without convictions (As the Culture Club song goes)!

We met artist and photographer Gil Mualem-Doron at the launch of his New Union Flag creation during Portland's b-side 2024 festival.

We unexpectedly met him again today at b-side's Underground Gallery exhibition in which photos are displayed in the three tunnels of the Victorian High Angle Battery military complex on top of Portland.

Gil was heavily involved in organising this event and also displaying some of his own work. He was photographing the finished exhibition for his own records. Whilst most photos could only be seen by torchlight, several were backlit by daylight where vents were built into the battery. It was rather like looking at a church's stained glass window. Here Gil, lit only by torchlight, kindly posed for a photo adjacent to his work entitled 'Adam'

[ CPP Project example -- Fall 1997 ]

This is a part of an ongoing & experimental photo project of mine entitled "Corpse Photo-Poetics." (The particular piece was composed by myself & Melina, my former fiance, and was included in the Florida Emerging Artists exhibit @ the Arts On the Park Gallery in Lakeland, 1998).

CPP was first conceived of as a sort of abstraction a Surrealist game (known as "EXQUISITE CORPSE") while driving the lonely stretches of the 95 through the old American South (rural Georgia) in the spring of 1994. The project languished, a bit, for a while, but has been conferred new life due my ability to connect with other kind, creative souls here on Flickr! ^_^

I can't locate my formal description of the project, but I'll try to succinctly state its simplicity:

With E.C., partipants divide a piece of a paper into thirds or quaters, choosing, for instance, the human form. Each participant chooses a section of the form to complete, covering their work, leaving only lines to give the next player a starting point for the next section of the piece. The result can be something quite surprising and, sometimes even good! ;)

I chose to use double exposure photographs. The CPP images have mostly been produced directly in the camera (35mm). With no fixed form in mind, participants grab an image to be integrated with the photograph of another in the camera, and hopefully the result is just as surprising and, even good!

This is a randomly chosen example -- I have very few digital copies at this time, but will try to change that soon. I'm working on new methods and am always looking for new collaborators.

Let's see, thank you for taking a look, reading about this crazy project, & please LMK if you are interested. ;)

OK. Here's further description that I e-mailed to one recent participant, the amazing Ms. LaDonna Chaos:

Let’s see… I'll do my best to b-r-I-e-f-l-y describe the project off the top o' my chaotic head here.

Incidentally, this is the primitive, FUN technique, but I will soon move to enact some refinements to the process. In any case, I just thought that we could have some fun for now in this still early stage of things. What do you reckon?

A statue entitled The Prospector, sculpted by Alonzo Victor Lewis, serves as the centerpiece of the grounds of the Sitka Pioneer Home. The sculpture was supposed to be modeled after real-life pioneer William Clark "Skagway Bill" Fonda, a resident of Skagway and originally of Fonda, New York. This statue is the larger of two models that Lewis created. The smaller of the pair sits in Seattle's Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park in Pioneer Square. After more than three tons of clay and 21 years of fundraising, the sculpture was finally shipped to Sitka in time for its dedication at 1949's Alaska Day.

This image was originally entitled, "Gregorian Monk at Prayer" and I love it.

These large caterpillars were common in the trees in the apartment complex when I first moved in. The damage they inflicted, however, earned the wrath of management and a regular dose of insecticides.

Eyespots (markings that resemble vertebrate eyes) have evolved many times in Lepidopterans (butterflies and moths). The fact that this adaptation has arisen independently so often in this group indicates the general effectiveness of this anti-predator startle defence.

(The enforced hiatus from photo-taking due to the predictably unpredictable weather continues, so I intend to continue some reposts though this time of what I consider my favourite twenty images (in no particular order and in batches of five). I have now surpassed 10000 images in my photostream, so have plenty to choose from. Invariably, these will not be images that have been particularly well received on their initial appearance in my photostream, but have significance to me maybe because of the circumstances related to their capture, as images I have a sentimental, nostalgic and/or emotional connection to or perhaps just what I consider to be a good shot.)

The artwork, entitled Nativity – This is God: God is Tenderness, is the work of artist and sculptor Father Rory Geoghegan SJ, a Jesuit priest who lives and works at St Beuno’s Jesuit Spirituality Centre in Tremeirchion.

The sculpture is a prayerful reflection on the theme of the Incarnation – the human nature of God – and shows Jesus, Mary and Joseph in an intimate and loving family pose.

Fr Rory, who is in his 80s, decided on the title for the work just as he was finishing the sculpture.

By chance, he came across a description of the people of Buenos Aires, Argentina, recalling how at Christmas, their archbishop used to take baby Jesus from the crib to show to the congregation, saying: “This is God. God is tenderness.” That Archbishop is now Pope Francis.

The Nativity sculpture gradually came to life over a period of several months in Fr Rory’s workshop. The basic shape was constructed over pieces of chicken wire and foam blocks covered in many layers of plaster, which were then cut back, shaped and smoothed. The ‘shot silk’ finish is achieved by meticulously applied paint of assorted colours, again built up in layers.

Entitled "Checking the Road" a massive thanks to Chris and Simon for agreeing to my request for a 5 second stillness at Bury Bolton street with visiting 8f 48305 on a Halloween special
