how fuckered are you that,
seeing a familiar face
in the eye of a storm,
say,
with a shit eating grin,
hello, again old friend.

How strange that water the world over wants to rejoin the seas and oceans of the planet.

Black and Blue: The Invisible Men and the Masque of Blackness, a mass of identical two-metre-tall figures, is a striking statement within the Park’s 18th century landscape. Powerful and totemic, the impact of the group is amplified through their repeated forms, facing forward to confront the viewer en masse.
The installation builds on Ové’s 2016 project for the 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair which saw 40 figures sited in the courtyard of London’s Somerset House. In this location, the installation directly referenced Ben Jonson’s play The Masque of Blackness, which was enacted by Anne of Denmark and members of her court at Somerset House in 1605. Featuring white actors in blackface, the play was reflective of the societal shift towards a preference for lighter skin in the early 17th century. Ové also alludes to Ralph Ellison’s acclaimed novel The Invisible Man, a pioneering consideration of racism and marginalised communities in America told through the eyes of its black protagonist.
Ové says he seeks to “reignite and reinterpret lost culture using new-world materials, whilst paying tribute to both spiritual and artistic African identity”. In this work, he uses graphite to explore what he describes as “future world black”. The artist is constantly seeking ways to express recognisable, traditional African forms whilst avoiding the predictable use of ebony, and exploring the sculptural possibilities of more contemporary materials, such as plastic. The form of the figure on which Black and Blue: The Invisible Men and the Masque of Blackness is based is a small dark wood sculpture given to him as a child by his father, acclaimed filmmaker Horace Ové, in the 1970s. The way in which the original sculpture has travelled across land and time, has been adapted and re-shaped, thereby acquiring new layers of meaning, is a metaphor for the complexities of contemporary identity. Although the gesture is taken from a traditional, existing form, the raised hands resonate with and reference current tensions and the Black Lives Matter protest movement.
Ové works with sculpture, film and photography to explore African identity, the African diaspora and African history, building on his own experience of growing up in a mixed-race family in both London and Trinidad, or as he says “black power on one side and… social feminism on the other”.
There. Now you know what the artist was thinking.............
How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you

Saw this jumping spider at my house, eating a queen ant. When I chased him to phorograph, he dropped the ant and made me run all around.

How quick does the new Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 PF ED VR focus? I was shooting this guy head on....stopped and spun as he went by. One frame on him as he approached the runway. Kill % with this lens is 95%.
A pair of CSX GP40-2s roll the R173 westward through Elkridge on the way down the Eastern Seaboard back in 1994.
This vantage point has become overgrown over the last few decades, making this another spot you can no longer shoot from.
With the hoards of CSX GEVOs now running around, it's really not a big deal to have lost this view.
..configure a Cali. I don't mind the colour but the rims.. no. Opinions?
(Yes my trip to London didn't yield particularly good results but I paid the damn rail fair so this is going up.)

And which directíon did the prey move? But I guess it´s giraffe poo, maybe a bit big for a Cheetah.

How do I explain this one to the police?
You see my otherwise very docile cute little jack Russell Gracie has a few well how do I put it?? lets just say she has anger management issues.
Its not unusual to come home and find she has eaten the post we let play with the brown ones they are normally only bills. on one occasion we found her in the Back garden stood proudly aloft a not so lively looking wildebeest
And who could forget that time she attacked ,,,,,,,,maybe we should forget that time after all polar bears are getting rare .
Any how not sure who these bits and bobs belong to! just wish I could find the other foot erm no sorry the other shoe !!!!!!
Is that wrong????? Maybe I could I could try the reassemble spell?? worth a try me thinks
How would you interpret the fact that she 'mentors' him?
Is it a sign of liberation and confidence?
She is sure enough of her abilities and can assist her brother.
Is it a sign of repression?
The only way she can allow herself access to the masculine rifle is by helping her brother.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

It's awefully rainy here these days and the cats spend most of the time indoors. Very boring, especially for Fynn who doesn't seem to enjoy a sleeping marathon as much as the other cats do. :)
far far, there's this little girl...
and she's strong when the dreams come cos' they
take her, cover her, they are all over
the reality looks far now, but don't go

It was quite surprising and unexpectedly to find this cartoon, in Israel... Aug, 2015.
Almost like finding the "Virtual Past" combined with a piece of Art, I once made...Bye Bye for the FAR PAST...
Bye Bye for the "TIES" and the past.
And here's a post for the Future that come so fast, surely without the peepers.
