We are building an art float with friends and neighbors for this year’s Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade.
Our float for this parade features the Bamboodu Theater, a mobile puppet stage I created for civic events and art shows. Our first show stars Lady Liberty and Mr. Trump. As music plays, a Mr. Trump’s recent tweets and alternative facts appear on a news ticker. Each time Trump says something wrong, Liberty hits him on his thick, bobbing head.
As we march, we will invite parade watchers to sing along the inspiring poem by Emma Lazarus about the Statue of Liberty (“Give me your tired, your poor …”). Through this interactive art experience, we hope to engage people of all ages to change the world through civic action.
I am making this float in my front yard with a wonderful team at the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), a local political group which I recently joined to resist the conservative takeover of our country.
In this photo session, we were joined by journalist Paul Liberatore and photographer James Cacciatore, who are reporting about this float for the Independent Journal, Marin County’s main newspaper. It was a pleasure to welcome them both and introduce them to our team.
I’m very grateful to all our friends and neighbors who are helping bring it to life: Danny Altman, Laura Boles, Phyllis Florin, David Glad, Peter Graumann, Edward Janne, Suz Lipman, Charlene Lundgren, Jean Marie Murphy and Mark Petrakis and Martha Roush, to name but a few.
Our Bamboodu Float is coming along beautifully, and we can’t wait to show it off at the parade on Monday, May 29, 2017.
Join your neighbors to keep democracy alive!

July 4
Happy 4th of July, peoples!
I mostly doodled on my computer this morning while Emily got her work done. She finally wrapped it up around 1pm, so we loaded up the dog and crème brûlée, picked up Kitty and Taylor, and drove to Aledo for a swim. It was so fun! I learned that thereâs something in Kittyâs and Taylorâs (now known as Taytty) circle called Burgatory. Itâs when a table of people goes silent as everyone tries desperately to come up with clever food puns. We went into a deep cycle of cheese this evening, thinking of things my grandfather would say before shooting a mouse in his house that had been drawn to the cheese plate he supposedly sat out as a trap. Here are a few highlights:
âBrie my guest.â
âIâm gonna shoot gruyere off.â
âYou cheddar watch your back, Jack.â
âNo parm no foul.â
âItâs a gouda day to die.â
âTake his body to Philadelphia, cuz heâs gonna get CREAMED.â
We had fun, and we all thought way too hard about it.
After a delicious grilled dinner and my creamy desserts, we went back outside to swim. It was a nice, long, relaxing afternoon and eveningâprobably the last one like it weâll ever have at this house. I donât think any of us are super sad about it though. Weâve had a lot of fun at that place, but weâll have plenty of fun at the next place too!
We even got to see some fireworks at Apogee tonight as we dropped off Kitty and Taylor. Seemed like a good show, but MAN there were a ton of people out there. Emily and I opted to stay home and watch Handmaidâs Tale instead.
Well it's been an interesting couple of days. The C: drive on my main computer failed. No files were lost aside from a few notes from school but it's a huge pain and happened at a very bad time (right as I was about to print some things for a project due that day).
It also screwed up my Flickr project and I missed a day as I don't currently have proper access to all of my photos.
That said I now have to pick two photos to post today AND they have to be one's from the last week or so as that's all I have on my laptop.
So here's the first. A night shot from last night. Granville island in downtown Vancouver. Going for maximum sharpness on this 30 second exposure I used my tripod, cable release and the mirror-up function on my D300.
If you enjoy taking photos at night (or just lanscapes in general really) the mirror-up function is simply a must. One of the reasons I preffer Nikon to Canon is that the MUP function is a finger tip control and very easy to switch on and off.
So the general idea with night work is to minimize any vibrations using your tripod, a cable release (or remote) and if your camera has it, MUP.
Shot at f/11, and ISO 200 with the 30 second exposure. Edited in Lightroom, just cropped and some light duty noise reduction.

Parade Theme 2016: No Big Deal
One of the great recent additions to my neighborhood roster is 61 Local, a new bar on Bergen Street with a universally benevolent approach to all beverages - so there is good beer, which is sort of a requirement these days, at least in my world, but also good wine, good coffee, and good artisanal soda. And good sandwiches, too. And awesome little pickle plates (spicy or horseradish) for a dollar.
That stretch of Bergen Street was formerly a wasteland, but between 61 Local and a couple of going-strong gallery spaces, it has become both chic and hip, which is tricky.
My neighborhood is one of the go-to points in the new locavore movement, in which food places seek out locally-sourced foods and ingredients where possible, and 61 Local fits right in. I don't know if it's a political thing or a cachet thing or a quality-control thing, or a combination of all three; from the happy consumer's point of view, it hardly matters.
On this August Saturday, the bar brings together a couple of small food businesses for a Pint Mash-up. There's Ovenly on the baking side (impossibly rich ice cream sandwiches), Kickstand on the coffee side, and the revivified Steve's Ice Cream on the ice cream side, along with the usual array of beverages.
One of the features of the afternoon is the Beer Float. Mine, above, is made from Victory Storm King Stout and a double scoop of Steve's Small-Batch Bourbon Vanilla ice cream.
"Liminal Float," created by Duncan Rawlinson, explores the latent space through contemporary photography and artificial intelligence imaging techniques. The image captures a serene, surreal moment of tranquility, where the boundaries of reality and imagination blur into a vibrant and peaceful scene. Through this blend of modern photography and AI, Rawlinson invites viewers to experience the mysterious and reflective nature of this tranquil space.
Floater is a chaise longue designed together with Mathias Bernhard at the Chair for CAAD, ETH Zurich and was produced in close collaboration with Kläusler Acrylstein AG.
The elegant sinuous design is based on the distinctive material properties of acrylic stone combined with advanced digital design and fabrication techniques. Generative modeling and analyzation tools were used to maximize the available area on each sheet of 12mm “HI-MACS solid surface” and minimize stress due to bending. The design was adopted according to these parameters and split in three parts to be manufacturable from standard sheet dimensions. The 2D-CNC cut flat pieces were then vacuum formed on 3-axis CNC milled MDF molds and afterwards seamlessly glue-joint to form a single monolithic shell. The wings on each side appear to hardly touch the ground and emphasize the floating appearance of the chaise. They also enable the user to gently rock back and forth while relaxing on the smooth and durable surface.
Four prototypes have so far been realized in Alpine White, Fiery Red and Black. The project is still under development but different colors are available on demand.
