Thank you all for your comments and favourites. All are appreciated greatly. Take care.
Have the day off of work today to drive my oldest to leave for college. Weirdest feeling ever. I wish him the very best of lucking making his future.
What a fantastical world are we now entering! Biology and mechanical engineering are combining to create what were science fiction miracles just a few years ago…

Happy Fench Friday dear friends! Thanks for a wonderful year and looking forward to more! High Line, Manhattan, NY.
Both the engineer and locomotive ponder their futures in Galion, Ohio on March 28, 1976. This while waiting for yard space in Marion just days before the formation of Conrail, the Erie Lackawanna here will cease to exist and the C425 2455 is headed to new owner British Columbia Railroad.
-You didn't know I saw three futures
One alone, and one with you
And one with the love I knew I'd choose-
Song by Torres - Three Futures -
Hard to believe it's been two years since I shot one of these. It's been such a busy kick working on my film projects. I love the work, but certainly, the rewards are far less immediate than in photography. Instead of hours or days, it takes months, sometimes years, just to see one film project through from inception to completion… Sometimes, within this process, it feels like I’ve sacrificed my creativity to the administrative duties of MAKING the actual work.
This needs to change.
In the coming months, I hope to carve out more time for the work I care about. The creative work. Brainstorming, photography, writing. The stuff that makes me feel like I’m actually alive.
This photo serves as a gentle reminder of the idea that, no matter how powerless we feel, each day we have the power to change our future. The choices we make today will cause a ripple effect through the rest of our lives. Every day, we are choosing from a series of possible futures, whether we realize it or not.
Title taken from a fantastic article written by Derek Sivers. If you haven’t read any of his work yet, I highly recommend.
An early start to spend a little time around London's South Bank. There's a really interesting viewpoint underneath the Millennium Bridge and I found it kind of fascinating to look at the engineering that keeps this bridge relatively stable in the wind that can sometimes blow down the Thames... It was this morning but the bridge seemed unmoved.

The "1984 Miss General Idea Pavillion" was a fictional building General Idea conceived to house their ultimate beauty pageant planned for 1984. However, in 1977 - confusingly before the Pavillion was even meant to be built - it dramatically burned to the ground. "Reconstructuring Futures" was intended as the green room of the "Pavillion", where pageant participants would lounge before taking to the stage. Paradoxically, it includes images of its own destruction: photographs depict General Idea's courageous escape from the burning site.
Please do not add me as a contact without commenting or faving my photos. A non commenting contact is not what I desire. I will not follow a 'non commenter' and will delete contacts who don't comment. If you add me as a contact please feel free to make any thoughtful comment you wish. Faving a photo will be considered a comment. Thanks for understanding, sharing thoughts and ideas is what I would like to get out of flickr.

Devan Shimoyama
The Grove
mixed media
Jen says "Oh my"
"Within the exhibition’s Futures that Unite hall, Devan Shimoyama (b. 1989, Philadelphia) will create a moment of reflection in response to the tumult and tragedy brought on by racial violence and the COVID-19 pandemic. His shimmering, soaring “The Grove,” will be an imagined future monument to the year 2020, inviting visitors to enter a meditative forest-like space, take a moment to forgive, breathe, pause and heal. Using “DIY” utility poles, dangling shoes and silk flowers, “The Grove” references community traditions of spontaneous memorials and will be adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals to offer a sense of light, magic and the divine in witness to lives lost.
Shimoyama’s mixed-media practice frequently imbues a sense of community, solidarity, commemoration and identity at the intersection of Blackness and queerness. “The Grove” will represent both a singular, internal mourning for collective trauma and the healing power of empathy and hope."
