This series is the second published part from the set "Landscapes from a farm park south Milan" and they are enclosed in my first personal expo i had in 9th of september 2010 to 19 with my friend Mirko Bozzato, graphic designer and photographer. The farm park of south Milan is a reality which Mirko and I appreciate it's the biggest green area of Milan: a beautiful reality that needs to be protected by building speculation.

never lied to me.
I'd be all of that
I'd be all of that.
A false memory
would be everything.
A denial my eliminent.
What was that for?
What was that for?
What would you do
if you saw spaceships
over Glasgow?
Would you fear them?
Every aircraft,
every camera,
is a wish that
wasn't granted.
What was that for?
What was that for?
Try to be bad.

Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon, Gwent, Wales, United Kingdom, on Thursday 9th April 2015.
Pwll Mawr Amgueddfa Lofaol, Blaenafon, Cymru, Deyrnas Unedig, Dydd lau 9 Ebrill 2015.
Chapter 1 talks about the photograph and why I took it, if you want to know more in-depth history about the subject, feel free to skip to Chapter 2.
Chapter 1: About the photograph
As well as being a photographer, I am also a graphic designer. At that time I took the above photographs, I put my careers on hold, because I was a busy single parent looking after two kids.
Whenever I get time to spare, I make every effort to keep up my photography and graphic design skills, by doing some projects while I can. Not only to improve my skills, but also to gain more experience, and build up a portfolio too.
The kind of graphic design work I do mostly varies, but generally tend to be like book covers, movie posters, packaging designs, etc.
The above photographs were for an album art design, as part of a CD case cover project.
The subject of the non-existence and fictional album is about a female singer-songwriter, who used to live in an old industrial town during her childhood days, and decided to leave her hometown, to seek stardom in the world of music.
The name of the album is The Old Dying Town. It is supposed to imply that the coal mines have dried up, the factories closed down, the town lost its cinema and nightlife, and too many people leaving. The town could easily become a ghost town.
For the design theme of the album art, I needed black and white photos of old buildings, abandoned factories, disused railway stations, and anything like that.
When the kids were at school, I drove for about an hour and half, over to Blaenavon in the south part of Wales, where they had this old coal mine that had been turned into a museum.
I wasn’t planning on buying a ticket to go in for a look around, I only needed exterior background for the album art design, so I walked around and took many shots from various viewpoints.
Hence the title Big Pit Background.
It was a very warm spring day with clear blue skies, which is why most of the shots shows cloudless background.
I had my camera set to black and white mode rather than left it in colour mode, and simply use computer software to convert into black and white. Most likely because of a lifetime of habit of using either black and white, or colour film in a camera.
The above photograph is one of the many exterior shots I took, around the National Coal Museum. It was better to take many shots around, and then see which shots I could use for the album art design.
After I took the photos of the coal museum, I took a walk over to a heritage railway station, about 5 minutes away by a footpath, and there I took some photos of disused railway stock, like boxcars and carriages, plus the railway station.
Chapter 2: The History of the Big Pit National Coal Museum.
It started life in the early 1800s, originally as an iron mine.
At that time, the mine was driven horizontally into the side of the mountain, because of the shallow iron deposits, unlike most mines where the shaft is usually dug vertically. The shaft was dug by hand because dynamite wasn’t invented until few decades later, and it became known as the Engine Pit Level.
The Big Pit was part of a network of mines, set up by the Blaenavon Iron and Coal Company in the first half of the 19th century, as part of the Blaenavon Ironworks, and was considered to be the most important of all the collieries in the area.
By around the 1850s, the location was stating to become more of a coal mine, and the original Engine Pit Level was then used as an escape route and emergency exit.
It was large enough to allow two tramways, and by the time of 1878, the main shaft was deepened to reach older coal at around 293 feet (89 metres).
An inspector for the mines made a report in 1881, was the first to describe the mine as a big pit, because of the underground shape of the mine, this was how the mine got its name of Big Pit.
In 1923, at its most peak life, there were about 1400 men working there, producing house coal, steam coal, ironstone, and fireclay. The peak production as more than 250,000 tons of coal every year. They even shipped coats to as far as South American, and to other points around the world.
The work was done by hand and manpower, until around 1908 when a conveyor system became part of the equipment, and it was one of the first to install electricity. By around 1910, the fans, hauling system, and pumps were all electric powered.
During the 1940s, baths were installed at the mines, so the workers no longer need to walk home dirty, and during the Second World War, equipment and skilled men from the Canadian Army helped out.
After the end of the Second World War, the National Coal Board took over the mine from Blaenavon Co. Ltd, in 1947, as part of a nationalisation. At that time, the mine employed 789 men.
But by about the 1970s, only 500 men worked there, and it finally closed on 2nd February 1980 with a loss of 250 jobs.
Before it was closed down, a group of people had been planning on turning it into a heritage site, so when the mine closed down, it was bought for £1 and given to a charitable trust called Big Pit (Blaenavon) Trust to manage the changes into a heritage museum.
When it opened to the public in 1983. The museum drew about up to 90,000 visitors a year in the 1990s, and after improvements, could hit up to about 140,000 visitors in 2010s.
The Comment Box for my photo is NOT an advertising billboard for any Groups. You are welcome to comment about my photos, but do NOT comment about the groups like saying “As seen in…” as those are clickable spam, and therefore will be deleted.
I started my resume and think it is coming along nicely, a few things need to be changed and once I feel it is finished I will fine tune it. The layout is complete, now just for the wording. Other than working on getting everything set up so that I can start applying for jobs (entry level graphic designer) I didn't do much.

Dear Rep. Boehner,
Recently, you released a chart purportedly describing the organization of the House Democrats' health plan. I think Democrats, Republicans, and independents agree that the problem is very complicated, no matter how you visualize it.
By releasing your chart, instead of meaningfully educating the public, you willfully obfuscated an already complicated proposal. There is no simple proposal to solve this problem. You instead chose to shout "12! 16! 37! 9! 24!" while we were trying to count something.
So, to try and do my duty both to the country and to information design (a profession and skill you have loudly shat upon), I have taken it upon myself to untangle your delightful chart. A few notes:
- I have removed the label referring to "federal website guidelines" as those are not a specific requirement of the Health and Human Services department. They are part of the U.S. Code. I should know: I have to follow them.
- I have relabeled the "Veterans Administration" to the "Department of Veterans' Affairs." The name change took effect in 1989.
- In the one change I made specifically for clarity, I omitted the line connecting the IRS and Health and Human Services department labeled "Individual Tax Return Information."
In the future, please remember that you have a duty to inform the public, and not willfully confuse your constituents.
Sincerely,
Robert Palmer
Resident,
California 53rd District

Einstein: "My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain—especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a Jewish state..."

LADY RENE by Laura Varsky. A new Sudtipos collaborative release.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
We are proud to announce a new addition to the Sudtipos library.
This is the time for the Grammy awarded argentinian graphic designer Laura Varsky and her first commercial typeface named Lady René.
To illustrate the use of Lady René, Laura designed a wonderful piece of art available to download.
Never before illustration and typography were so close and well paired. We hope you like Laura style as much as we enjoyed building this into a complex font full of OpenType work until the limits.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
WORDS ABOUT LADY RENE by Laura Varsky
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Looking back on my production to date, neither so little nor so large, it does not come as a surprise to find myself now introducing Lady René.
A brief review of my career would read as follows: graphic designer graduated from Buenos Aires University, a 10-year professorship in Typography in the same institution, an illustrator in the making.
For almost 15 years now my work has focused on the design of editorial pieces, predominantly books and CD sleeves. Typography proper has always been central to my research projects.
All my obsessions eventually embodied as much the search for a perfect, spotless text as for a daring and provoking one. In my view, "how-to-say-something" ranks highest amongst a graphic designer’s responsibilities.
It was in this vein that I called in the written word to illustrate, to draw, to narrate. Why not reverse the saying and proclaim that “a word is worth a thousand images”? If so, one single word could trigger endless meanings, associations, ideas, and memories in every reader’s mind. Language, we know, has a strong power and is a living expression of a culture.
In my illustrations, letters and drawings reunite in one synergy said and unsaid, the finiteness of the message and the freedom of the free reading.
And this is how and when, Lady René, my first born type font sees the light of day conceived out of a love of illustration and a reverence for the written word, recalling the whimsicality of the handmade drawing and reflecting its sensitive, warmth and spontaneity.
Allowed by the characteristics of Open Type and the hard, outstanding work of designer Ale Paul, Lady René succeeds in composing texts in a simple, organic way by means of its contextual and stylistic alternates, swash characters, ligatures and connecting words.
A bundle of decorative miscellanea completes the set of signs, enabling the user considerable freedom to create new typographic landscapes.
Lady René is then prepared, very much like a character in a short story, to come to life in the reader’s mind. I expect you will enjoy her as much as I did creating her.
Laura Varsky

Graphic designer and Olympus totting photographer in Nagasaki. If you've ever walked the streets of Nagasaki, chances are you've seen his work more than a few times.
re the caffenol experiment,... i've definitely got the wrong ingredients,... baking soda instead of washing soda, and drinking vitamin c instead of pure ascorbic acid. but the work around seems to be that you use double the amounts and develop for much longer. This negative was still very very thin even though i went an extra 5 minutes. but still better than before.
i do like the grimey look i'm getting from the extreme recovery the scanner needs to do so i've got a feeling i wont like getting caffenol 100% right :P
slowly getting there :)

El Lissitzky (Russian artist and graphic designer, 1890 - 1941) created his series of architectonic figures after seeing a production of “Victory Over the Sun”, the futuristic Russian opera with music by Mikhail Matyushin (Russian painter and composer, 1861 – 1934) and costumes/stage designed by Kasimir Malevich (Russian painter and art theoretician, 1879 – 1935). Paired up with Malevich’s set design and costumes, this pro-technological phonosemantic opera inspired Lissitzky to recreate figures of the opera’s main protagonists as suprematist automatons.

The Optimus Prime of Packaging
Packaging is a tough one. You can often reduce the amount used, but you still need something to protect what you're shipping. One solution is to make it out of recycled materials, and to make sure that it is easy to recycle, but that's still not completely satisfactory, which is why Steve Haslip's HangerPak is so cool.

It’s probably best to attend this one with a friend—or you might be turning around to check your back more than once.
This chilling, award-winning drama from P.T. Anderson marked the director’s turn from respected helmer of Magnolia and Boogie Nights to a master of his field. Adapted from the Cormac McCarthy book, the film follows a serial killer (Javier Bardem, in an Oscar-nabbing performance) with a seriously bad haircut and an inexplicable vengeance. Josh Brolin’s excellent performance as the cop-who-took-the-catnip fleshes out the character study the film yields.

Despite economic uncertainty, Llot Llov embraces challenge and pronounces, "The glass is full - full to the rim." The 2009 collection embraces this outlook, a series of pieces that incorporate either traditional industrial methods or materials. Lucille is macramé with a new twist, inspired by industrial transport nets. A hoist is attached to these plant cocoons in order that the height may be varied. Hopper is modeled after shopping carts, offering seating atop a rabbit fur. Lester's table legs are inspired by the ceramics of high voltage isolators, comparable to hardened steel. Above Lester hangs Zoé, a lamp of copper-covered sheet metal that acts as a warm cage for four tungsten lights. And Assa, Mata and Fide are vases that have been metal spun, a technique employed in less aesthetic contexts.

Agency Nil Will Work For All It’s Worth
PSFKWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:29 PM
An interesting new agency has just launched, that true to the times we live in, hopes to channelize the skills of experienced but laid-off talents from the advertising industry, as well as that of graduate students from advertising programs - people who just can’t seem to lay their hands on that elusive job, even though most of them are probably extremely talented. Their logic is simple: advertising agencies are willing to spend a lot to hire freelance staff but can’t afford to hire people for full-time positions. So Agency Nil will do the work that agencies hire them for, on a contract basis and in the manner of the role of a freelance employee, and in return all they’d like to be paid is what the client (i.e the agency) thinks the work is worth. They have just one caveat: that basic expenses and production costs must be covered - anything above that is at the discretion of the client. ‘Cheaper than freelance, better than interns’ is their tagline.
A brave and innovative way of thinking by Hank Leber, a graduate of VCU Brandcenter. All the very best to him and his team. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.

Location: Musikinstrumenten-Museum
Berlin - unlikeWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:13 PM
Musikinstrumenten-Museum - Culture - Berlin
Beethoven and Bach would be proud. In a country where instrument-making has been whittled to an expertise over millenia, a museum dedicated to this art is only due.
Part of the Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung, the Musikinstrumenten-Museum embraces the Germany’s glorious history of music with its collection of over 3,000 instruments stemming from the 16th and 21st centuries, making it one of the countries most comprehensive collections.
Sadly, only 800 of these instruments are on display, but they include a spectacular selection including a rare Strativarious violin, Friedrich the Great flutes and a massive Mighty Wurlitzer Theater Organ donated from the Siemens family. The irony: some of these might appear to be more uncommon to the modern-day visitor than the museum’s recent expansion into electronic music, which includes electric guitars, mixing stations and other experimental formats.
Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Tiergartenstraße 1 , 10785 Berlin, Germany

RunPee Helps Schedule Bathroom Breaks During Movies
PSFKWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Deciding when to skip out to the restroom during a new movie can be tough - you don’t want to miss anything crucial. But website RunPee aims to help you know the exact right time to go. The page has time-lines for popular movies, that list suggested points throughout the film when you can leave without missing an important scene. It also tells you how much time you have to get back, and has a scrambled re-cap, that can be revealed and reviewed when you return.
Although it’s a useful idea, RunPee uses Flash, which would not make it a good fit for mobile phone usage. As a commenter on Buzzfeed suggested - this would make a killer iPhone app.

B@ TV
Cool HuntingWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:02 PM
B@ TV is a new platform (still currently in beta) created for virtual and vicarious clubbing. A pioneering web TV community, the channel broadcasts from every major club event in the world with exclusive content from the hottest international DJs—from WMC events to Deadmau5 in London.
Featured DJ Pete Tong says, "b@ gives fans the music we are playing unedited, uninterrupted and with all the interaction between the clubbers and DJ on the night." The website accomplishes this with cameras in the DJ box and on the audience, even offering a "clubber's confessional booth." It's the 360 degree clubbing experience without having to leave your armchair.
Taking clubbing to a new level of interactivity, the site allows members (you have to sign-up) to live chat, share their own content and even broadcast themselves to the community. The service enables communication with like-minded clubbers on a whole new level. Ray Smith, the founder of b@ TV explains that it "is not just clubbing on demand but an interactive community where members can re-live and share their experiences."

My passion as a documentary photographer is to photograph stories that communicate a social or environmental message and from this I hope to inspire change.

IRISH TATLER
HOMEBUG : homes, interiors, art & design - ireland & elsewhereFriday, May 22, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Eagle eyed Irish Tatler readers may have noticed a little mention of Homebug in this month’s issue. It marks the beginning of what will hopefully be a beautiful friendship, as I’ll be contributing my interior design musings to future issues, from next month. I’m truly delighted to be working with such a stylish institution – the magazine has been running since 1890!
Stay tuned to Homebug next week, when I’ll be posting some photos of how my house is looking at the mo. There have been some big changes - we have a lot of catching up to do!
In the meantime, below is some interiors inspiration that's floating my boat... a junk style bedroom via Sandbox Studios, an open shelving dream kitchen via Remodelista, and Bertoia chairs and architectural plants make a small decked patio sing via Living Etc.

"COLLECT" BOOKCASE
HOMEBUG : homes, interiors, art & design - ireland & elsewhereFriday, May 22, 2009 at 12:04 PM
“Collect” is a new bookcase designed by Ole Jensen for Normann Copenhagen. It’s zingy colour and oblique, edgy form make it distinctly ‘now’, but this is not just design for design’s sake. As striking as it is in itself, what I love about the “Collect” bookcase is that it’s a thoughtful piece of furniture designed to be a modern display case for nostalgic artifacts.
Designer Ole Jensen explains: "We all have special objects that refresh memories - things that have a meaning and create the pleasure of recognition. It could be anything from a football to a stone found
