My British Whale "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both of Us/America" Vinyl Single. This also has an inside, fold up poster and a clear vinyl.
I got here at 6:30 this morning to get in line for a T-Mobile G1 with
Google, and there were already nine people in line, sitting here in
chairs. I was going to get here at 7 am for the regular 9 am opening,
but I called last weekend to confirm details, and they told me they
would be opening an hour early and getting a hundred more G1s than
originally planned. I'm excited!
I've been thinking about getting an iPhone since they first came out,
but I was under a two-year contract with T-Mobile for the Sidekick 3
that I'm moblogging with right now. Then the iPhone 3G came out and I
fulfilled my two year contract with T-Mobile, but I wasn't that
impressed with the iPhone anymore-- especially with the lack of
cut-and-paste and keyboard. So I waited. And then T-Mobile announced the
G1 a few days before my husband's (with whom I share a Family Plan)
two-year contract was fulfilled. I liked what I saw, so here I am
waiting an hour-and-a-half in line on a weekday with a prearranged late
show-up time for work. Did I mention I'm excited!?
The next photo I post will probably be from the G1!

Foram 15 dias de muita carência e manha, fiquei morrendo de dó... na foto dentro do meu guarda roupa!
For easter friday my family goes mushroom picking in Berrima. Took that opportunity to get some images.
Used my 35-80mm and extension tube. The lens tip was touching the mushroom and was only 1cm from the centre of the mushroom. About a 4-5 second exposure at f/22.
For the Carducci Quartet, playing Haydn and Dvorak, we were squeezed into the very back row of Rhossili Church. My sketchbook was virtually resting on the shoulder of the woman in front of me. I could just see the tops of the bows of the violins.

Design for The Saturday Evening Post cover.
June 23, 1928 issue.
Catalogue Note Sotheby’s ↓
In 1916, at the age of 22, Norman Rockwell painted his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post. Throughout the course of his ensuing decades-long partnership with America’s most popular magazine, Rockwell ultimately executed 321 cover illustrations. By presenting his audience with wholesome, humorous and idealistic images of their own lives, Rockwell earned a reputation as one of the most celebrated illustrators of the 20th century.
Rockwell presented Organist Waiting for Cue as a wedding present to his friend and fellow artist, Joe Aspinall, in 1934. The artist invited Aspinall to his studio to select one of his paintings himself and, given the occasion and the specific imagery of the work, he chose Organist Waiting for Cue. The painting appeared on the cover of The Post in June 1928 and marks the second to last appearance of one of Rockwell’s favorite models of the period, James K. Van Brunt. Van Brunt, who is distinguished by his magnificent eight-inch long mustache, posed for Rockwell as a number of characters over a fifteen year period, including a man browsing a book stall. In the present picture, Rockwell depicts Van Brunt as an organist poised to play "The Wedding March." He captures the anticipatory seconds before the bride walks down the aisle, and the organist’s raised hands and sideways glance suspend this moment in time. The expressive application of paint is typical of the artist’s early work, and he renders each detail of the composition–from the intricately carved organ to the sheet music–with remarkable detail.
Later in life, Rockwell recalled the day that the animated Van Brunt arrived at his studio in New Rochelle: “I remember it was June and terribly hot… Suddenly the downstairs door banged and I heard someone come up the stairs treading on each stair with a loud, deliberate thump. My word, I thought, here comes a monster. A sharp, peremptory knock rattled the door… The door was thrust open by a tiny old man with a knobby nose, an immense, drooping mustache, and round, heavy-lidded eyes stamped bellicosely into the studio. ‘James K. Van Brunt, sir’ he said, saluting me and bowing all at once. ‘Five feet two inches tall, sir. The exact height of Napoleon Bonaparte.’… Then, having ascertained that I wasn’t going to contradict him, he took off his gloves and his wide-brimmed hat, laid them on a chair, and patted his mustache. ‘This mustache, sir,’ he said, ‘is eight full inches wide from tip to tip. The ladies, sir, make much of it.’ And he winked at me and walked over to my mirror to stare at his mustache" (Norman Rockwell, Norman Rockwell: My Adventurers as an Illustrator, New York, 1994, p. 203).
Van Brunt, who himself enjoyed a happy marriage, was the ideal character to promulgate the joys of the institution. In a conversation with Donald Stolz, Rockwell recalls an exchange with Van Brunt about his wife: “'There was a woman. She weighed two hundred and twenty-two pounds exactly. Dandled me on her knee like a baby. She swore that if I got any smaller she’d stuff me in a milk bottle and seal it up and lay me by.” “He’d chuckle and go on about her virtues,” Rockwell said. “What a good cook and housekeeper she had been, how she had darned his socks. ‘A soldier’s wife! Rawhide, sir, rawhide to the bone.’ Then he’d stop, and all the sparkle would go out of his eyes and he’s look at the floor. ‘But tender, Mr. Rockwell, and loving. A wonderful, wonderful woman!’” (Norman Rockwell and ‘The Saturday Evening Post:’ 1916-1928, New York, 1976, p. 215).
Organist Waiting for Cue is the first of two Post covers Rockwell painted that relate to weddings. The second, Marriage License, appeared on the cover of the publication in 1955 and depicts a young couple in the town clerk’s office in the artist’s hometown of Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It is a more literal depiction of marriage that embodies the theme of young love, a motif which the artist felt was an integral part of growing up and appears in many of his compositions. While the two covers were executed nearly thirty years apart, they both demonstrate Rockwell’s characteristic ability to capture the drama of every day life. Combining his technical precision with masterful draftmanship, Rockwell illustrates universally accessible scenes that highlight his quintessentially American aesthetic.
Dangerous is the topic for Friday March 25, 2011

For the first few laps Kristian House of Rapha Condor JLT was happy to sit in the main bunch and move towards the front before the sprint lap klaxon went off.
Since this is one of my favorites I would like to dedicate this to the wonderfully generous woman and talented photographer who gave me the best flickr gift ever! PRO :D

Today over 220 fine folk participated in the March For Science in Morris, Minnesota, which represents a pretty significant percentage of the local populace out here in rural Minnesota. :-)
These photos go from the gathering of the marchers, through the march, and to the milling about and chatting that eventually results after a small town event.
People should feel free to use any/all of these pictures however they wish. On the flip side, if you appear in any of these pictures and would prefer to have those pictures removed, please let me know right away and I'll take care of that.
Thanks to everyone that turned up. SCIENCE IS AWESOME (and really, really important)!

The Performing for the Camera project, dedicated to the students of the art academies of Florence (Italian and international), comes from the idea of using the Marina Abramović exhibition. The Cleaner (21 September 2018-20 January 2019) as a research ground on the relationship between photography and performance, offering students the opportunity to try their hand at producing new works of art and publishing a publication.
The activity, which will have a three-month development, will allow students to approach the close link between performance and photography by analyzing the relationships and specificities of the two artistic languages. Among the events at Palazzo Strozzi are also scheduled two talks with the artists Francesca Banchelli and Caterina Pecchioli to encourage a direct confrontation with two professionals whose practice is related to the subject matter.
The theme will offer students an overview of photography used as a tool for performance documentation, or practiced as a performative act in itself, to be interpreted and applied in the field of artistic research. In the second phase of the project the works created by the students will become the material for the realization of a publication edited by the students themselves.
The project is carried out in collaboration with:
LABA – Libera Accademia di Belle Arti (prof. Massimo Agus e Maurizio Di Lella)
Lorenzo de’ Medici (prof. Gianluca Maver)
Syracuse University (prof.ssa Stefania Talini)
SACI College of Art and Design (prof. Jacopo Santini e Romeo Di Loreto)
SRISA International School of Art (prof.ssa Gloria Marco Munera).

Spatio Virtuo Teatro (2006)
Jason Meadows
Painted steel
Jason Meadows designed Spatio Virtuo Teatro for South Coast Repertory Theater with the intention of bringing the theater outdoors. The pink, purple, blue, and silver painted steel sculptures offer guests a glimpse at the experiences they could expect inside. Near the theater box office, The Storyteller sits at the end of a bench excitedly telling his tale to passersby. Herald represents the playgoer and sits watching, while Upstage/Downstage represents the stage itself, complete with overhead lighting and theatrical crew. The Los Angeles-based artist’s work has been featured at the Los Angeles Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate Modern in London.
I am forever connected to Bill J through this album. I am connected to my father through the book. I picked this up at the Brown Elephant the other day. Happy Birthday, Bill.
For my A level photography, we're doing Journey's.. I chose Journey through winter, and came up with all these ideas on how to represent winter without using snow.. and then the next week. it snows. i really couldnt miss the opportunity. So out i ran, with an umbrella to shield my camera, and my mum's wellies, into untouched fields. ;)
