With all those plugs to place in and out to connect people and allow the switchboard operator to listen into calls. Rone - Time Exhibition at Flinders Street Station. rone.art/
"A fictional history that transports audiences to post-WWII Melbourne, Time is inspired by an era when European migrants powered the city’s booming manufacturing industries. A vignette of mid-century working-class life and an ode to the faded yet enduring beauty of this forgotten place, Time captures the spirit of the city’s industrious past while offering glimpses of the station’s role as a once-glorious hub of work, learning and social life.
Twelve installations, each room adorned with Rone’s haunting signature murals, the artist and his team have created an immersive, multisensory installation that audiences will remember for time to come."

These two began a most animated conversation as the older fellow was handing out pamphlets to passersby. In the background a group was playing classical music. It was a rather entertaining encounter.

Ballarat International Foto Biennale, 2023.
Architect: CD Figgis 1887. The Mining Exchange was built between 1887-89 as a location for trading shares in mining companies during the Gold Rush Era. It is unique for the arched rooms on the side which housed the various traders, the matching arched highlights over and the light bow string steel trusses which support the curved roof. The building underwent a major refurbishment in 2004 and forms part of a remarkable gold rush streetscape in Lydiard Street Ballarat.

(hungry man in tenderloin, sf, 10/12/06)
hungry john quinn hunched over a trash can in the tenderloin. as i pass, he stands vacantly staring nowhere in particular. he wears a black leather jacket and hospital bottoms. there's darkness about his eyes; the whites aren't white, rather slight shades off his skin. but when the light catches, so do they.
i circle and return from another direction. he's grim and i expect dismissal. i ask if i can take his picture. he smiles and says "why sure you can." he has only a single tooth. he lives in a nearby "poorly ventilated" low income hotel. he just got out of the hospital and has been trying to get money for food. he had a heart attack. says he's had to quit smoking.
i ask about his blue eyes. if anyone else in his family has had them. says no, "just me and my mule"
there's an animation in him that he seems to save. and an intelligence that surprises. we talk of the time he met martin luther king in the airport leaving for india. we talk of his graduation from berkeley, his acceptance to law school, and the drug use which would take him elsewhere.
he talks of south africa's "honorary whites", india's untouchables, and sartre's essence of a man.
and he describes an exchange between south africa's botha and nelson mandela, when the latter was in prison. botha insists that mandela renounce violence as an alternative if he wishes release.
mandela refuses, responding that there is no alternative to life; and that he will do whatever is necessary to live.

La prima notizia di Pitigliano appare in una bolla inviata da papa Niccolò II al preposto della cattedrale di Sovana nel 1061, dove viene già indicato come luogo di competenza della famiglia dei conti Aldobrandeschi. Nel 1293 Anastasia, figlia della contessa Margherita Aldobrandeschi, sposò Romano Orsini portando in dote la contea di Sovana e la sede della contea fu trasferita proprio a Pitigliano. Gli Orsini governarono queste terre per secoli, difendendole dai continui tentativi di sottomissione da parte di Siena e Orvieto prima, e della Firenze medicea poi. Fu solo nel 1574 che Niccolò IV Orsini cedette la fortezza ai Medici e nel 1604 Pitigliano fu annessa al granducato di Toscana, ceduta dal conte Gian Antonio Orsini per saldare i propri debiti.
Pitigliano and its area were inhabited in Etruscan times but the first extant written mention of it dates only to 1061. In the early 13th century it belonged to the Aldobrandeschi family and by the middle of the century it had become the capital of the surrounding county.
In 1293 the county passed to the Orsini family, signalling the start of 150 years of on-again/off-again wars with Siena, at the end of which, in 1455, a compromise of sorts was reached: Siena acknowledged the status of county to Pitigliano, which in exchange placed herself under the sovereignty of Siena.
From then onwards the history of Pitigliano resorbs into the gradually wider ambit first of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1562) then of the united Kingdom of Italy.
