Evolution 2014
At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

Evolution Basin, Kings Canyon National Park, California.
This is another in my JMT series. It is a panorama best viewed in its large size. Please view my other JMT images in my JMT set.
This is a stitch of two singles made with a Nikon D7000 and Tokina 11-16mm.
As the John Muir Trail snakes through Evolution Basin it passes many crystal clear lakes and tarns. Aster, Paintbrush and many other wildflowers adorn their shores. Here is Mt. Huxley (13086') at left and at photograph center is Mt. Solomons (13034'). Just to the left of Mt. Solomons is snow-covered Muir Pass (11955') and the famous John Muir Hut.

the worst thing about Medicine is when you try to help someone who needs to be taken care of and you can't - either because you don't have resources or (even worse) because the family stands between you and the patient.
I saw two terrible cases of elderly neglect today. I lost a bit of my verve in that hospital.
I've had the catback system for awhile now. Just got the middle system installed which I bought used from someone.
It's a full titanium system that drops about 50lbs from the car and adds about 30 whp give or take (I didn't dyno my car).
The system itself is a work of art and it sounds great. Also worth noting that BMW uses this system (well a catless version) for their M3 GT4 cars.
For FGR's Monkey Mondays.
OK, OK, they're not monkeys, they're apes, primates, neanderthals, whatever, to-mah-to, to-ma-to. I didn't have a monkey handy!
(And not to screw the 365 Project up completely, I took this.)
Very subtle differences between the 2011 GT-R and 2014, but of course the changes are more than skin deep!

Mercedes-Benz went head to head with BMW when it launched the compact 190 Series in December 1982, expanding its market to include motorists hitherto unable to afford the Stuttgart manufacturer's high-quality products. This policy proved an outstanding success, with sales of the 190 totalling almost two million over the course of its ten-year production life.
A conventional front-engine, rear-drive, four-door saloon, the 190 was available with a variety of engines ranging from a 1.8-litre four to a 2.6-litre six, plus 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre diesels. Mercedes-Benz's engineers contrived to offer generous interior accommodation, rivalling that of the firm's larger models despite the 190's compact overall dimensions, while an ingenious new computer-designed five-link rear suspension system was combined with conventional McPherson struts at the front to ensure excellent roadholding without compromising ride comfort. A sports model was not long in coming, the 185bhp 2.3-16 joining the expanding 190 range in the autumn of 1983, to be followed by the more powerful 2.5-16 in 1985. Produced with touring car racing in mind, limited edition Evolution and Evolution 2 versions had arrived by the decade's end.
Premiered at the 1990 Geneva Motor Show, the 'Evo 2' featured a dramatic looking body kit, complete with huge rear wing. The latter had been necessitated by Group A rules that did not permit any non-production aerodynamic devices to be fitted for racing, and was mounted so that it did not interfere with rearward vision, another requirement. Although its exterior appearance suggested the racetrack, the Evolution 2's interior remained strictly 'business class', with opulent leather upholstery and wood veneer embellishment in the best Mercedes-Benz tradition.
Under the bonnet, the 2.5-litre 16-valve four had been mildly tweaked, producing 231 bhp, some 36 hp more than the stock version. A top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) and a 0-100km/h (62mph) time of 8.1 seconds were claimed. The running gear was suitably upgraded to cope with the increased performance, incorporating larger brakes, stiffer springing, and 17" diameter wheels, while the self-levelling suspension's adjustable ride height feature was retained.
Within a few months of its launch, the 500 cars required for Group A homologation had been completed. On the racetrack the 'Evo 2' performed as well as its competition-inspired looks suggested it should, Klaus Ludwig duly clinching the DTM Championship for Mercedes-Benz in 1992.
Currently displaying a total of only some 94.000 km on the odometer, this Evo 2 was delivered new in Switzerland. The current (second) owner bought the car 10 years ago, fulfilling a childhood dream, and has covered only some 20.000 km in it. Finished in black with matching leather interior, this most collectible modern Mercedes comes with Swiss Carte Grise and all its original books, including the service stamped service booklet. Presented in generally excellent condition, it represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire this collectible limited edition model at a relatively affordable price.

SEX, PHYSICS and the EVOLUTION of MAN
I remember when I was a kid I went around "the townhouses" asking all the housewives if I could have the cardboard their new pantyhose were wrapped around; hot pressed and glossy on one side, dead flat on the other, rounded corners and perfect for drawing in this skipping dashed way with the new black marker I had discovered. These new EVOLUTION of MAN drawings remind me of the joy I had drawing when I was young and the hopeful wide eyed vision I had for the world and Canada. Canada a beacon of light and progress guiding the world into the future was written on my face. I don't see that look anymore or better to say I see people trying to keep an idea of that face, but glimpsed underneath I see contortions and ticks at the way the world is; an exasperated wince quickly covered up as if to reel in an escaping beast of disillusionment and disbelief.
These new drawings are on a painted fresco like surface, dead flat, skipped and dashed with archival ink they are meant to be studies for an envisioned visage of what we hide underneath our beautiful ones.
The EVOLUTION OF MAN series is accompanied by works from the 2001 "Visions of Photonic Love" exhibition and other related works about the emergence of light at the beginning of the universe and its connection with the orgasm. These works arose from interviewed discussions with physicist Dr. Howard K. C. Yee at the University of Toronto and the subsequent video "notes on a nameless film".
"an attempt to describe the indescribable boundary between the known and unknown universe through interview and visual obliteration; at certain levels of complexity all visualization degrades into mathematics" was written on the DVD sleeve.
This video was awarded "One of the Best Filmmakers Under 25 in Canada Award" which came with a $2500 prize and a trip to Ottawa to meet with the Governor General and Minister of Arts and Culture with 10 other so awarded filmmakers. It was to theirs and my great disappointment to inform them that I was 37 at the time. The exhibition that was derived from this video was originally showed at Edward Day Gallery and then expanded for the Scope Art Fair in New York. Only 4 of these black works remain from the original exhibitions with some studies, other related works and the instigating videos they form a lovely stage backdrop of lust wandering for meaning, reason and purpose in the universe. They were originally accompanied with the phrase:
"Out of the blackness emerged joyous information to wet our lips; but in cruelty its beauty only left us wanting for more as its image slowly faded away."
I believe to approach hard strange and elusive ideas you must use peripheral vision and Newtonian half measures; random cultivation is the path to expression and enlightenment.
