We've spent the last week in bed ill, and I started to notice how our bodies were getting older, and how that ageing makes part of a body look more like a landscape. I decided to photograph bits of us at extreme angles, resulting in some monstrous wrinkled alien bodyscapes.
My hand.

Another one of my hand carved stamps. Images were stamped using various Marvy Matchables stamp pads and Marvy Brush markers.
This is another oldy that I found on my hard drive while cleaning it out. This was taken last year. This was in a Cades Cove church. A friend I was shooting with picked it up, and the window light was brilliant. I took one in color, but it didn't turn out the same as the one I took in B&W.

All the fabrics together! I've dyed 3 of the 5 yards so far. I was going to try to dye it all this week, but I'm getting worn out! I think I'll save some for the long holiday weekend coming up.
They're pretty bright but don't look nearly this fluorescent in person :)
I dyed these using the wax-resist method outlined in Color Your Cloth.
"The crime of suicide lies rather in its disregard for the feelings of those whom we leave behind."

Took this image in the middle of the night i was bored.. i had an ongoing art project about fear. Did some interviews with people on what their fear was.. strangly enough it was the fear of murder death or suicide.. so this is what i did as a reflection on those interviews... What can i say.. Midnight creativity i guess !
(its just paint --> people dont worry !)
I like to draw on my hand. Sometimes I wish I was ambidextrous so I could draw on both hands . . . I think my right hand might get jealous . . .
The first time I had my hands painted with henna in Venice Beach. And yes, I liked it so much that I had it done again. ;)

If I ever grow into my hands and feet I will be huge! My dad is a couple inches taller than I am but his hands are smaller. When we hold our hands against each other, my fingers overlap his by a half inch on each finger.

I was working with a team of students today to reenact parts of the moon landings using Lego Robotics. I cannot believe the ability of my students to persist with tasks when they run into difficulties. They really are an amazing bunch of kids.
Avui, a falta d'escalada, m'he posat a jugar (o sia, empastifar-me) amb el magnesi...
Ja posats, hi ha algú per acà que em pugui llegir la bonaventura? :P

Astronomical clock of St. Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas' Church), Hanseatic Town of Stralsund, district of Vorpommern-Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), Germany.
The astronomical clock of St. Nicholas' Church was built by the clockmaker Nikolaus Lilienfeld in 1394. It is the oldest nearly completely preserved astronomical clock in the Baltic Sea region and the oldest mechanical clock in the world still containing its original wheelwork. Although nearly completely preserved, the clock doesn't work anymore.
The clockface is decorated with a golden frame. It shows all the 24 hours of a day (midnight at the bottom, 6 am at the left, midday at the top, 6 pm at the right). A metallic belt which is fixed to a seperate clock hand shows the zodiac circle and the actual astrological sign.
The paintings in the four corners of the clockface show "Die vier Weltweisen" (The four Wise Men of the World):
Top left: Claudius Ptolemaeus, a Greek-Roman mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer, and poet from Egypt, one of the best known astronomers of the Antiquity, "inventor" of the Ptolemaic system, a geocentric model of the cosmos.
Top right: Alfonso X of Castile, called "the Wise", sponsored the Alfonsine tables for computing the position of the Sun, Moon and planets relative to the fixed stars.
Bottom left: Ali ibn Ridwan (Hali), an Egyptian physician, astrologer and astronomer.
Bottom right: Albumasar, a Persian astrologer, astronomer, and philosopher, thought to be the greatest astrologer of the Abbasid court in Baghdad.
The pedestal of the clock shows two allegoric figures: Morning (a person opening a door) and Evening (a person closing a door).
On the side of the clock is a portrait of the clockmaker, looking out of a window.
St. Nikolaikirche was built in Northern German Brick Gothic style. It's the oldest of Stralsund's main churches. Being the main church of the local council, St. Nikolaikirche is closely connected to the town hall.
----quotation from en.wikipedia.org:----
The town of Stralsund lies in Northeast Germany in the region of Western Pomerania in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
...
The town lies on the sound of Strelasund, a strait of the Baltic Sea. Its geographic proximity to the island of Rügen, whose only fixed link to the mainland, the Strelasund Crossing, runs between Stralsund and the village of Altefähr, has given Stralsund the sobriquet "Gateway to the Island of Rügen" (Tor zur Insel Rügen). Stralsund lies close to the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park.
A municipal forest and three municipal ponds (the Knieperteich, Frankenteich and Moorteich) belong to the Stralsund's town borough . The three ponds and the Strelasund lend the Old Town, the original settlement site and historic centre of the town, a protected island location.
...
The centre of Stralsund has a wealth of historic buildings. Since 1990, large parts of the historic old town have been renovated with private and public capital, and with the support of foundations. As a result of the contempt for historic buildings in East Germany many houses were threatened by ruin. The Old Town in particular, offers a rich variety of historic buildings, with many former merchants' houses, churches, streets and squares. Of more than 800 listed buildings in Stralsund, more than 500 are designated as individual monuments in the Old Town. In twenty years, from the Wende in 1990 to November 2010, 588 of the more than 1,000 old buildings were completely refurbished, including 363 individual monuments. Because of its historical and architectural significance, in 2002 Stralsund's old town together with the old town of Wismar were added to entitled the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list as the "Historic Centres of Stralsund and Wismar".

----quotation from whc.unesco.org:----
The medieval towns of Wismar and Stralsund, on the Baltic coast of northern Germany, were major trading centres of the Hanseatic League in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 17th and 18th centuries they became Swedish administrative and defensive centres for the German territories. They contributed to the development of the characteristic building types and techniques of Brick Gothic in the Baltic region, as exemplified in several important brick cathedrals, the Town Hall of Stralsund, and the series of houses for residential, commercial and crafts use, representing its evolution over several centuries.
