I recently finished short prose/essays by Elena Ferrante where she wrote about a subject each week for a year for The Guardian and rather enjoyed her musings on being an author, mother, human, lover of films, admirer of Daniel Day Lewis, and being Italian,

"The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan. A NON ANIMALIST essay that talks about the damage of omnivorous eating. For example, in America, the "Corn Belt", a vast area that includes the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri, dedicated ONLY to the cultivation of corn, feed for animals, not for men . With environmental and biodiversity damage that future generations will pay for.

 

"Il dilemma dell'onnivoro" di Michael Pollan. Un saggio NON ANIMALISTA che parla dei danni dell'alimentazione onnivora. Ad esempio, in America, la "cintura del Mais", una vastissima area che comprende gli stati dell'Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska e Missouri, dedicata SOLO alla coltivazione del mais, mangime per gli animali, non per gli uomini. Con danni ambientali e alla biodiversità che pagheranno le prossime generazioni.

I like this very much. It shows an originality of thought by one of the students in the protest. Whilst most of the slogans scrawled on the walls are (let's put it mildly) derivative - at the level of propaganda - this one student makes a cultural reference that shows an awareness well beyond their years.

I'm still making my images using an old and simple 2009 version of photo manager software produced by ACDSee. And during the last two decades I've used it to produce 37,538 original image variations, only 4589 of which appear on Flickr - the rest sit on my hard-drive and now serve as an almost endless source of raw material for new abstracts. Not sure what to do about using AI to produce artwork. This old guy may just continue to use his 2009 copy of ACDSee. Cheers. H

it has been over 30 years since I had to write an academic essay, to say it's not going well might be an understatement.

I've added a new essay to go with this final selection of images from the series, now available here: karlhurst.wixsite.com/karl-hurst/single-post/2016/08/11/L...

Horse & Cart in Habana, Cuba. Taken low level and wide with the Canon 16 - 35mm. I like these wide angle street shots, I will have to start using the lens more. A black and white edit of a previously uploaded shot. Must return to Cuba for some more photography!

At the start of this year when Graham’s 318 Coffee House in Geneva reopened after major renovations I popped in to tell the owner Bob how much I admired the new look. I mentioned that I especially enjoyed the meandering path that leads to the front door. I wondered aloud if it was deliberately made with such tight curves in order to slow folks down, as in some Japanese garden designs where paths can sometimes take an unexpected or abrupt turn in an effort to slow down the walker and make them more conscious of their surroundings. Bob replied that while that’s a beautiful principle that he was unfamiliar with, the real reason for the tight meander here is more functional: should the path from the sidewalk to the front door be a straight line, it would be too steep a grade for wheelchairs to make. I found this an interesting example of how our manufactured surroundings are a vibrant mix of both the aesthetic and the practical.

Here's a quick and dirty photo essay I did for Vice on the night of the Golden Gai inferno. Other than the TV crews and pockets of gawkers you'd never know that the place was just ablaze. Customers were stepping around firemen and hoses like they would a passed out drunk, even climbing over walls to get into back entrances of blocked off bars.

SERIES:

 

I'm a member of the non-profit society, The Barbados Photographic Society. Part of our activities for members includes having field trips for members to go around the island exploring. Sometimes, our field trips veer off into strange territory....

 

After I ended my short documentary series on the "Fire at Mangrove Pond", my friend and I headed off to our second location. My photography club had an invite and a challenge from one of our members to shoot within his backyard compound. Such a small space but rather rewarding. I was trying to do two thing at once: Shooting still abstracts and shooting video to practice my technique.

 

Let's get back to rough textures.I just happened to be scouting around back making a closing portion of my wind video when I noticed that the sun had climbed high enough to be hitting this highly textured object. I'm sure you can tell what it is. What does it remind of?

 

Fun Fact: This image went from one texture to another when someone ordered a canvas print version from me.

 

Feel free to comment below with your ideas on what some of these things are. Good luck!

Inspirado en el uso del sistema de zonas. Me pareció interesante el juego de lineas y el contraste con la pared blanca.
