When I took this photo and others, I was still sitting on a bench on the school grounds.
What I didn't know was that I was under video surveillance.
After 12 minutes, the security guard arrived and kindly asked me to leave the school grounds.
I recently embarked on my first adventure to Antarctica with the Muench Workshops Team as an instructor. It was quite an amazing experience for sure. As we crossed the Drake Passage into the South Shetland Islands, this incredible scene opened up before us on the starboard side of the boat. It was one of the most impressive mountainscapes I've laid eyes on in my lifetime. The creeping shadows and diffused light created by drifting clouds was the icing on the cake for me.
I personally highly recommend a trip to Antarctica for any serious landscape / nature photographer, you will truly be mesmerized by the fantastic wildlife and landscapes there - it is quite abundant and unlike anything else in the world.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful Holiday season and that all of your wishes are fulfilled. I know mine were!

A Henry Dreyfuss veteran- Jack McGarvey was my "Rendering" Instructor in Industrial Design classes and his insights were invaluable.
It was common to see dogs and their owners on the street, but this scene was actually fairly unique: a muzzled dog, who seemed to be patiently enduring the contraption that had been stuck on his face.
I have no idea what kind of dog this is, or whether he was prone to bite anyone within reach; it might have been something as simple as preventing the mutt from barking too loudly. In any case, both dog and owner seemed to be strolling along without any great drama.

As I’ve mentioned in a couple of recent Tumblr blog postings, I’m working on an exercise for a new class that I’ve started taking at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in the fall of 2015.( You can see the earlier Tumblr postings here and here.)
In addition to taking a bunch of photos (see the other Tumblr postings for details and descriptions of what the photos are supposed to illustrate), we also have the task of editing our images down to a maximum of 10 “presentation images” that we will share with the ICP class next week. When our instructor, Joanne Dugan, asked me last week if I anticipated having any problems with this aspect of the assignment, I shrugged and said, “No, I do this all the time …”
Well, yes and no: I do do a lot of editing/winnowing of my photos before deciding which ones should be shared with anyone else. But I had forgotten that I also do a lot of cropping, color-adjustment, tweaking, and general post-processing before I upload my photos to Flickr, Facebook, or even Instagram. For this particular ICP exercise, we were also told not to crop the photos, and not to do any post-processing. That makes things a lot more difficult …
On the other hand, part of the exercise is to assemble and share a maximum of ten photos that collectively tell a “story” of some kind – and to “tell” that story with anywhere from a word, to a sentence, to a paragraph for each of the photos. That makes things a lot easier … after all, if a photo has to be presented in isolation, then it truly stands alone. And it is intended to be viewed without any accompanying text, then it really stands alone. There’s nothing wrong with that; indeed, one might argue that that’s the whole point of photography: a picture should “tell” a story all by itself, without any extraneous verbiage to “explain” what might not be obvious to the viewer.
But not very many things exist in complete isolation of the rest of the universe, especially in today’s interconnected world. I suppose some people would debate that point quite vigorously; and some people might argue that a photograph of a person, place, or thing should be able to “stand alone” without anything else. I certainly have seen photos that fall into this category, and I suppose I’ve taken a few like that, too. Or, maybe if I never intended my photos to be considered in complete isolation from one another, perhaps that’s how some people prefer to look at them …
But for me, that’s a pretty rare phenomenon. Almost always, I find myself telling a story. The photographs obviously present one “dimension” of the story, in a visual form; and I’ve been trying to remind myself lately that videos can present can present one, and sometimes two, additional dimensions (motion and sound) that can add enormously to the viewer’s understanding and appreciation of the underlying story.
But even if one uses only traditional photos, I find that it’s almost impossible for me to crate (or make, or take) one photo by itself; invariably, I take dozens, if not hundreds or even thousands, which collectively tell a story. It may be a story about someplace I’ve been, or some event in which I’ve participated, or some individual (or group of individuals) that I want the viewer to know and appreciate in more detail than would be possible to communicate in a single photo.
And then there are the words … maybe it’s because I spend part of my time as a writer and teacher that I find it almost impossible not to augment my photos with words. Lots of words. Indeed, sometimes far too many words; and sometimes clumsy words, or the wrong words. And I do realize that there are times when the situation would be improved if I would just shut up, and let the photograph do all of the communication. But for better or worse, I guess I’m a photojournalist.
With that in mind, I began the process of editing the photos for my recent ICP assignment. Here’s what I found:
1. It’s not as easy as one might think, when you start with a large number. I began winnowing the original images when I had 2,700 (after 9 days of shooting), and I still had 5 days of shooting left).
2. It’s much more difficult than I had imagined, given the constraints of my ICP class: no cropping, no post-processing, and a maximum of only 10 images. I’ve worked within those constraints for the final images that I’m submitting to the ICP class; but for these Flickr uploads, I’ve ended up with 40-45 images – and they have been heavily cropped, tilted, color-corrected, noise-dusted, and tweaked in various other ways. C’est la vie…
3. Using the collection of photos to “tell a story” is both easier and harder than I thought it would be. I’m including these background notes in all of the photos that get uploaded to Flickr … because I’ve learned (form past experience) that some visitor will zoom in on just one particular photo, without necessarily looking at all of them, and/or without seeing the overall notes for the entire album. And I don’t think I’ll find it difficult to write a few sentences to provide the background details for each photo … but whether they “flow” and create one overall, coherent “story” remains to be seen.
4. Aside from a narrative “story,” there are some “themes” that I noticed throughout this entire two-week exercise. The most significant one was exactly what I had anticipated: patterns. If you are lucky enough to sit in the same spot at the same time, day after day, you see the same rhythms, the same people, the same repetitions of life’s little actions and emotions. Many people have the opportunity to see these patterns, because they do follow the same schedule, day after day, on their way to their job or their school. But some of us have irregular routines, and any, most of us don’t pay any attention. If you slow down, and pay attention, you’ll see the patterns.
But sometimes the pattern involves uniqueness – i.e. strange and unusual people or events that seem to happen only once. But I have to keep reminding myself that my visits have lasted only two weeks; if I was here for a month, or a full season, or perhaps an entire year – then perhaps I would see these strange incidents repeating themselves
5. Another theme – which I did not anticipate, but was delighted to see – was the pervasive sense of affection and caring between and among everyone on the street. Mostly it was apparent in the interactions between parents and children; but sometimes it was between dog-owners and the dogs they were walking; sometimes it was between friends who happened to be walking along together; and sometimes it was between complete strangers and me, as the strangers would smile and nod and say “hello” if they noticed I was watching them. It was a great experience.

The Italians did well to show as many aircraft types as possible that had served their air force at their centenary air show held in 2023.
However, in the case of the Macchi M.416, despite 180 being built, the only survivor appears to be a static exhibit inside the national museum at Vigna di Valle. Fortunately, that Macchi was a licence built Fokker S-11 Instructor, of which there are airworthy examples.

Brad's flying his powered paraglider over Black Rock City at sunset.
Not sure if this flight was very "legal", since the air-space above Black Rock City was very regulated this year (drones not allowed to fly without a permit). But we saw several BLM and Sheriff cars drive by, and none of the officers cared about Brad and his powered paraglider taking off from the playa!

Summary: Brazilian aviation expert and pilot Anesia Pinheiro Machado (1902-1999) is shown with Pan American Airways senior instructor Donald Dionne. Machado was the first person to obtain a U.S. commercial pilot's license with additional ratings as instructor and for flying on instruments only; she was also an instructor for the Brazilian Air Force and commercial airlines. The Pan American Airways press release accompanying this photograph described how the appearance of the "petite newcomer" with "plenty of aviation 'know how'" had elicited a sense of wonder among the junior Clipper pilots at the flight school. She had made her first solo flight in 1922, at the age of 18 and was the first Brazilian woman to make a cross-country flight

A large group of people were learning salsa at Sergels torg as I happened to pass by a couple of warm days ago.
I recently made a modest art-historical discovery when I happened across an obscure reference to early illustrations by the American painter, art instructor and art school director Channel Pickering Townsley (1867-1921).
Chan is best known today for the California Impressionist works and European city scenes he painted in the first two decades of the 20th century.
However, these recently rediscovered pieces, which are not mentioned in Chan's biographies, reveal that he was already an accomplished artist by the mid-1890s.
The small item from the issue of 7 April, 1909, issue of The Great Bend Weekly Tribune, of Great Bend, Kansas, that put me on the trail of Chan's forgotten illustrations appears below.
They appeared in Ellen P. Allerton's Walls Of Corn and Other Poems, collected and published by Eva Ryan.
Astonishingly, the 1894 book is still available through Amazon and other retailers as a modern reproduction of the original. It is likely the quality of the images is higher in the original than in the copy. www.amazon.com/Ellen-Palmer-Allertons-Walls-Other/dp/1164...
Townsley's name appears quite clearly on some of these works. Whether the others bear his name is a matter of conjecture. Marks that resemble indistinct letters can be found in the general area of the lower right corner. For what it is worth, the artist did not sign all his paintings.
Chan was about 27 years old when the volume of poems in which they appear was published. It remains to be determined when these works were created relative to Townsley's considerable formal art education in New York and Paris.
The illustrations appear in the same order as in the original. Immediately below you will find the poem that was the inspiration for the image.

=======================
"Treeless desert " they called it then,
Haunted by beasts and forsook by men.
Little they knew what wealth untold,
Lay hid where the desolate prairies rolled.
Who would have dared, with brush or pen
As this land is now, to paint it then?
And how would the wise ones have laughed in scorn,
Had prophets foretold these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn?

ALLERTON, Mrs. Ellen Palmer, poet, born in Centerville, N. Y.. 17th October, 1835. Her ancestors were of Knickerbocker blood. She received a district-school education and afterwards spent a few terms in academies, but never graduated.
Her marriage to Alpheus B. Allerton, took place in 1862, soon after her removal to Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. Allerton were both invalids in Wisconsin, but in 1879, traveled to Kansas in a wagon, cooking their own meals and getting health and happiness out of the journey.
They selected for a home an unimproved farm, a quarter section, on very high land in Brown county, in sight of Padonia, Hamlin, Falls City and Hiawatha.
They now have a handsome home and every comfort that prosperity brings in its train.
Mrs. Allerton composed and recited verses before she could write, but offered little to the press until she was past thirty years of age.
Her first poems were published in "The Jefferson County Union," Ex-Governor Hoard's paper. Later she contributed to Milwaukee and Chicago papers, and was at one time book-reviewer for the Milwaukee "Sentinel."
She has published one volume, "Poems of the Prairies." (New York, 1886). She is considered one of the leading authors of Kansas. As a woman and as a writer she is quiet and sensible.
At her home in Padonia she has a wide circle of loving friends, and throughout the West the hearts that hold her dear are legion.
