When God created man in His image, He created a measure; the human perception of the world corresponds to God's creative intention. Man by definition is a center, or "the center" in a given universe; not by accident, but in virtue of the very nature of Being, and this is why that which is large or small for man is large or small in the divine intention; man perceives things as they present themselves in the divine Intellect. And that is why the world of the indefinitely small, as well as the world of the indefinitely large, is as it were forbidden to man, who should not want to disproportionately enlarge the small or to disproportionately reduce the large. Man ought to feel that there is no advantage or happiness in such enterprises; and he would feel it if he had maintained a relationship with the Absolute, or if this relationship were sincere and sufficient. He, who is really at peace with God is free from all unhealthy curiosity, if one may say so; he lives, like a well-guarded child, in the blessed garden of a grace that does not forsake him; the Creator knows the best place for the creature, and He knows what is good for man.
In a certain sense, the world of atoms as well as that of galaxies is hostile to human beings, and comprises for them, in principle or potentially, a climate of alienation and terror. Some people will doubtless argue that "the man of our times" is an "adult," but this is pride, even satanism, for a normal man always keeps a childlike side, as all sacred Scriptures attest by their language; if such were not the case, childhood itself would not comprise a positive aspect. Of course, a mature man ought to be "adult," but he can be so otherwise than by plunging into forbidden abysses; the spiritual victory over illusion is a matter appreciably more serious than the insensitivityof the explorers of the inhuman.
There are two points to consider in created things, namely the empirical appearance and the mechanism; now the appearance manifests the divine intention, as we have stated above; the mechanism merely operates the mode of manifestation.
For example, in man's body the divine intention is expressed by its form, its deiformity, its symbolism and its beauty; the mechanism is its anatomy and vital functioning.
The modern mentality, having always a scientific and "iconoclastic" tendency, tends to overaccentuate the mechanism to the detriment of the creative intention, and does so on all levels, psychological as well as physical; the result is a jaded and "demystified" mentality that is no longer "impressed" by anything. By forgetting the divine intention - which nonetheless is apparent a priori - one ends in an emptiness devoid of all reference points and meaning, and in a mentality of nihilism and despair, if not of careless and brutal materialism. In the face of this deviation it is the child who is right when he believes that the blue sky above us is Paradise.

Frithjof Schuon: Roots of the Human Condition
Across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
once upon a time a white dragon saw the elements falling apart, for this reason he made him self into the form of a man and then created a warrior temple on mount life, this is so he could train the best warriors to face evil.

"Two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead."
// Karl Von Clausewitz
This is perhaps one of my best portraits. Or, at least, I like it very much. I've taken a lot of selfies with my iPhone over the years, most of which suck because the lighting is off, with shadows showing all manner of masculinity. Sometimes, the lighting is exactly right, and this is one of those instances.
I can't really tell when taking photos how they will come out as my eyesight is not great when trying to see things up close and I can't be bothered to grab my reading glasses during the process.
I think by holding the phone to take a selfie, there's just enough motion to blur things a little, making the result more appealing than otherwise would be the case. Put another way, cameras in mobile devices are forgiving when it comes to selfies. I wondered about this because I've taken self portraits with my iPhone on a fixed platform, with the result being very clear (I posted an example here).
This brings up an issue that I am always cognizant of when dressed en femme. There is the mind's eye, there is photography, and there is real life. In the former, there are unrealistic expectations brought on by comparison to actual women, which I shouldn't do, but the process does serve as a form of inspiration. Photography, by contrast, reveals reality, but in the form of moments; literally, snapshots in time. As a result, some come out well, most not so much. This activity, I've discovered, shapes the way we think of our physical selves; on one extreme, we have a delusional perception that we are gorgeous, on the other, we feel repulsive. This happens to all of us, I suspect, and we can swing between the two extremes in a matter of minutes. Debating whether this is healthy or not is irrelevant because it happens naturally.
Finally, there is the real world - venturing out there and frankly having no idea how you appear to others. Maybe a sense of this can be revealed using video capture (I'm surprised crossdressers haven't widely embraced drones in this capacity!), which is interesting as I've never done that before beyond a Zoom call. The bonus with venturing into real life is how you naturally augment your appearance with the more important elements of identity: one's personality, life story, intellect, and sense of humor. A healthy sense of self, confidence, and good communication skills can overcome any perceptions you think people may have about your appearance.
It is worth reminding ourselves that we've all met physically unattractive people who are amazing company and physically beautiful human specimens with ugly personalities that make us want to run in the opposite direction.

Excerpt from brainproject.ca:
Timeless
Great ideas, human intelligence and dreams are timeless. As we begin our journey through this world, the most powerful tools we possess are our intellect and our ability to decide what is good and what is bad. Our brains create those mysterious echoing connections that not only represent past memories and our present experiences, but are also tied to a continuum which is in fact timeless; our future. The brain is the quintessence of the human state.

Read My Interview with Nic below.
As many of you know, I spend a fair amount of time on flickr looking at various artists’ work and following their evolution, and their favorite works. The main reason for this is that our photography series (Meet SL Photographer) started with the mission to introduce artists that make the world look amazing - either in the pictures or in-world - and to bring to you faces to watch for in the coming years.
Recently, in one of my flickr paths, I landed on a page that held my attention. The artist did not have a super popular page, like those where every picture has hundreds of faves and fifty-nine comments. She looked fairly new to the field. I continued looking at the work she displayed for another few weeks, and decided she is definitely an artist to watch. NicBor has a fun sense of style, good sense of composition, and an acute sense of lighting. As I kept enjoying every time she posted a new picture, I finally called her up to meet and have a chat.
I arrived at her house where cute little kitties walk about. They are the replacement for her not being able to care for them in RL due to serious allergies. We had a good laugh about that, before settling down in her living room where she spent a great amount of time not only chatting with me but patiently looking at skins and hairs I was suggesting for our photo session. Her work turned out beautifully and she did capture the mood I was in as well.
Leda Carter: Nic, it is great to meet you. Thank you for your time and letting me visit you in your house.
NicBor: Pleasure.
Leda: From your profile, it doesn’t look like you have been around much. What brought you to SL?
Nic: Well, I've been on IMVU for few years and it was one of those days when your closest friends thought it was time to move onto another platform. So, we did and here we are.
Leda: Ah, so that’s how you have landed here. How would you sum up your experience so far?
Nic: It has been a great start to my virtual journey. Lots of talented people around, and tons of creativity. I appreciate it a lot. So, I am enjoying my virtual journey enormously.
Leda: That’s wonderful to hear. What are some of the things/places/people that give you the most pleasure in SL?
Nic: Sadly, I haven’t had the time to really explore SL just yet. Due to my day job, I have limited time to be online and when I am online, I am either taking photos or working on few other job assignments on SL. Having said that, I fully intend to explore places very soon.
Generally, I am almost always taking pics or thinking of different concepts for photos. Other than that, I go around mostly shopping for interesting props for photos... or feed my cats. *laughs*
Leda: I have to tell you, you are an amazing newbie. When i was 6 months old, I still was running around with my skirt not fitting right, and was sleeping under bridges.
Nic: *laughs* Thank you. I think being on IMVU helped me a lot to adjust here. It wasn’t if I wasn’t familiar with avatars. And, I have few friends who were here for many years. It just took a long time for me to get to their invitation.
Leda: How did you start on your photography path? Did you do that on IMVU as well?
Nic: In IMVU I created furnitures, clothes etc. I did take pictures there too, and did some edits as well. But, I was mostly a creator there.
I am not quite sure myself how I started taking photos on SL, but I can tell you that I am a real noob if you will. I probably have lots to learn, experience and explore in terms of photography, and just in general on Second Life. Photography definitely evolved on its own. I need to be productive in a virtual world or in RL. I couldn’t just come on here and not do anything like creating or designing. So, the first thing I did was to play around with the lightings, and then I was hooked.
Leda: I think for most people I have spoken with their SL profession was not a focused mission when they started SL, but often it has its roots in their RL and their passion. Does this passion for art and photography have its roots in RL for you as well?
Nic: I've always been interested in the creative process of any art - paintings, designs, photography, performing arts and so on and so forth. Creating art in your head
with an idea or a concept, and then delivering it to your audience for their interpretation is a keen interest to me. So I'd say this is my RL interest as well as SL.
Leda: Since you had not planned this from the start, how did you develop your technical skills?
Nic: I must confess, it is pretty difficult to 'learn' in SL as in if you don't have friends who are 'senior citizens' (that's what I call veterans on SL for laughs) to help you. As a beginner, you have no clue whatsoever, you just need to click around and see where it gets you by trial and error. But, I suppose I got the hang of it by reading lots of tutorials and by making mistakes.
Leda: From these lessons and mistakes, are there any tips you would share with our readers?
Nic: Well, I am no expert. As I said, I am considerably new to SL so I can only tell you what I'd like to see as a viewer. I appreciate photos that tell stories and provoke my emotions. Needless to say techniques are as important, but a perfect shot with no soul would be a pity. With a great risk of sounding cliche, I'd say if you sing with your voice or dance with your body, I'll listen with my ears or watch with my eyes, but if you sing or dance with your soul my emotions will respond. Same philosophy with taking photos. After all, it is art.
Leda: I absolutely agree with you. If an artist does not have their own voice, the emotional connection with the audience cannot happen. For you, what inspires your artistic sense?
Nic: Greatness inspire me, the grandeur of one's intellect or one's gracious and beautiful movement or one's humanity, raw talent or wit. Of course in reality you don't get to witness these qualities everyday, but when I do meet or even briefly cross their path, I feel tremendously inspired in all aspects of my life.
Leda: Since Valentine’s day is around the corner, I was wondering if you take clients in case any of our readers would be interested in offering that as a gift. Some of my friends like to gift a photo-shoot session to their loved ones.
Nic: Sure, I would take clients, But I worry whether the client could trust me and let me handle the shoot and the processing in my style. Do you know what I mean?
Leda: Absolutely. You don’t want them to bring in someone else’s work with a completely different sense of style and ask for one just like it.
Nic: Exactly. I would want them to let me handle the whole thing in my style.
Leda: Speaking of style, do you have the same sense of style in RL? What are the similarities?
Nic: My avatar is fearless! She has her hair really short in platinum blonde; she wears extremely low cuts and walks around sims with no problems. Lacking in guts, of course I wouldn't be able to that in RL. Although, we are both very keen on simplicity, classics and neutral tones with dash of striking color from time to time.
Leda: As always, I am curious about about the person behind the avatar. What can you tell us about her?
Nic: That's a tough question. Let's do this, I am gonna give you ten words that would accurately or loosely describe the person behind my bold avatar. I only say accurately or loosely because we are the worst critique of ourselves.
Disciplined, conservative, confident, anal (Can I say that?), uptight, blunt, fair, generous, creative but mostly I'd like to think that I am a good soul.
Leda: Do you adhere to this philosophy of keeping RL and SL separate?
Nic: I think in virtual or in reality we are faced with the equal amounts of complexity in terms of human interactions. I treat everyone on SL exactly the way I'd treat them in RL. Friends are friends, analogue or digital.
Leda: Thank you so much for your time, Nic. It was a pleasure to know you.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chance Nkosi Gomez known initiated by H.H Swami Jyotirmayanda as Sri Govinda walks an integral yogic path in which photography is the primary creative field of expression. The medium was introduced during sophomore year of high school by educator Dr. Devin Marsh of Robert Morgan Educational Center. Coming into alignment with light, its nature and articulating the camera was the focus during that time. Thereafter while completing a Photographic Technology Degree, the realization of what made an image “striking” came to the foreground of the inner dialogue. These college years brought forth major absorption and reflection as an apprentice to photographer and educator Tony A. Chirinos of Miami Dade College. The process of working towards a singular idea of interest and thus building a series became the heading from here on while the camera aided in cultivating an adherence to the present moment. The viewfinder resembles a doorway to the unified field of consciousness in which line, shape, form, color, value, texture all dissolve. It is here that the yogi is reminded of sat-chit-ananda (the supreme reality as all-pervading; pure consciousness). As of May 2024 Govinda has completed his 300hr yoga teacher training program at Sattva Yoga Academy studying from Master Yogi Anand Mehrotra in Rishikesh, India, Himalayas. This has strengthened his personal Sadhana and allows one to carry and share ancient Vedic Technology leading others in ultimately directing their intellect to bloom into intuition. As awareness and self-realization grows so does the imagery that is all at once divine in the mastery of capturing and controlling light. Over the last seven years he has self-published six photographic books, Follow me i’ll be right behind you (2017), Sonata - Minimal Study (2018), Birds Singing Lies (2018), Rwanda (2019), Where does the body begin? (2019) & Swayam Jyotis (2023). Currently, Govinda is employed at the Leica Store Miami as a camera specialist and starting his journey as a practitioner of yoga ॐ
Another image from Shining Cliff woods...shot on the Nikon D7100 and Nikkor 105mm DC glass.
It's a tricky lens to get the best from ... dof is shallower than my intellect. And, as can be seen, the CA is intrusive...for all that, it's a beguiling lens to use and once Snapseed creates a CA module I'll be a lot happier
Presso la religione induista, Ganesha o Ganeshè uno degli dei più conosciuti e venerati; figlio primogenito di Shiva e Parvati, viene raffigurato con una testa di elefante provvista di una sola zanna, ventre pronunciato e quattro braccia. Spesso è rappresentato seduto, con una gamba sollevata da terra e ripiegata sull'altra, nella posizione della Lalitasana
Ganesha è una divinità molto amata ed invocata, poiché è il signore del buon auspicio che dona prosperità e fortuna, il distruttore degli ostacoli di ordine materiale o spirituale; per questa ragione se ne invoca la grazia prima di iniziare una qualunque attività, come ad esempio un viaggio, un esame, un colloquio di lavoro, un affare, una cerimonia, o un qualsiasi evento importante.
Ganesha, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon.
Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom.
As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

Ah, another Friday that isn't "Friday" for our family. R has to work all weekend, which means that I have the kids by myself. I plan on getting a lot of work around the house done. We'll see how that goes. LOL
I was at a loss for what to do with today's photo. I really should get out and do some more location shots and less same old, same old shots at home. Oh well...it is what it is! ;)
The most important thing my grandfather taught me was that the most noble way to use your skills, intellect and energy is to defend the marginalized against those with the greatest power - and that the resulting animosity from those in power is a badge of honor.

Questions from various angles
Paul Jaisini claims he paints invisible paintings.
Is it Anti-Realism?
Is it Visual Emancipation? Is it full Visual Emancipation from any kind of visual image?
Paints Invisible Paintings - Is it just a figure of speech?
Is it Utopian?
Is it driven by unconscious and irrational thus in accordance to Sigmund the invisible painting is not rationally autonomous?
How could it be verified and where or what is the invisible painting’s by Paul Jaisini evidence?
Paul Jaisini wants to cultivate Invisible Style. It surely is a style that is not a lucid one, for clarity would expose the lack of content.
Is there any content?
Is it an attack on the ‘metaphysics of presence’?
What is the definition if there is certain definitions to apply to Invisible Painting? Can it be informative about contemporary culture?
Is Paul Jaisini with Invisible Paintings promotes Postmodern Obscurantism - deliberately preventing (fully if it is in fact the invisible painting) the facts or the full details of Invisible Painting’s matter from becoming known?
(Obscurantism: deliberately restricting knowledge—opposition to the spread of knowledge, a policy of withholding knowledge from thepublic; and, deliberate obscurity—an abstruse style (as in literature and art) characterized by deliberate vagueness.) Leo Strauss also was criticized for proposing the notion of “esoteric” meanings to ancient texts, recondite knowledge inaccessible to the “ordinary” intellect.
Kant employed technical terms that were not commonly understood. Schopenhauer contended that post-Kantian philosophers such as Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel deliberately mimicked Kant’s way of writing. “Because of his style which was obscure, Kant was properly understood by exceedingly few. And it is as if all the philosophical writers, who since Kant had had some success, had devoted themselves to writing still more unintelligibly than Kant. This was bound to succeed!”[
Does Paul Jaisini wants to be understood on any level or he wants no understanding of his Invisible Paintings? Can there be any level of understanding if not seeing the Invisible Paintings?

My little friend from the aquarium. Sadly he passed away just a few short months after we met. He and I had such a sweet give and take thru the glass...he would dance and jet across the tank and swirl his arms...and allow me photo after photo of his antics. As soon as other came to watch, he would dart behind a pipe in the tank and peek out, watching for the people to leave then when he would notice it was just me and my camera he would begin showing off again and posing in adorable poses as he made eye contact with me! THIS began my total infatuation with the Octopus! I was devastated when I found out that he had passed away...and learned that they only live approximately two years. Such a shame, because they have such distinct personalities and amazing intellect for a mollusk!
Someday I want to meet one, and touch one...sigh...
Sculpture called "Bodhi" by Fredrik Wretman (born 1953), inaugurated in 2004. The model is the sculptor himself. The English term enlightenment is the western translation of the abstract noun "bodhi" in Sanskrit, the knowledge or wisdom, or awakened intellect, of a Buddha.

Like their close cousin the Labradoodle, Goldendoodles first widely bred in the 1990s were bred as a larger alternative to the wildly popular Cockapoo. These dogs initially worked as service animals for the blind and other people with disabilities who were allergic to standard retrievers. The designer dog breed quickly became a hit due to its exceptional temperament, intellect and trainability in addition to the curly, low-shedding coat that has become the trademark of the doodle crossbreed. If you're considering a Goldendoodle be prepared for a whip smart pup with seemingly boundless energy. This breed loves to be in its family's presence at all times, and many Goldendoodle puppies suffer from separation anxiety when left on their own for too long.
Late in the afternoon on the last day in March 2009, I walked into Bryant Park, which is located behind the New York Public Library, between 41st and 42nd Street, facing Avenue of the Americas. There were several people reading and basking in the sun, a couple people typing on their laptop computers, and one chess game underway. I spent about half an hour wandering around to see what looked photo-worthy, and then wandered off to get some dinner...
This woman was typing away on a laptop computer ... alas, it was not an Apple Powerbook. But maybe she doesn't know any better. Just think: if she had been typing on a Mac, her photo probably would have been published a thousand times by now!

Tim Williams, Shiato.
photo reference: www.flickr.com/photos/shitao/5043352704/
I learned of Tim's death from our dear Patricio, while I was out of town on a job. Hard news.
Tim. A shining intellect, a poet, a marvelous artist with the best ears. Someone who grabbed life by the roots and wove their rhythms to his vivid expanding beat. Ouch - so young to leave us, Tim. I felt lonely and disconnected from all of you without my computer smoke signaler and came home to learn some of the news about Tim, and listen to this wonderful song that accompanies the photo of him that I based this painting on. I knew it well, but it was Tim's announcement that it was his favorite that made me realize- yes- this is a song to come into life with, and makes a good exit too...a perfect walking every day cascade- what it is all about. Read the notes that go with it , and imagine what Tim would tell us now.
I went to check Mariah's stream to see what she could tell us. www.flickr.com/photos/mariahoneill/6554840965/in/photostr...
Thank you, Mariah for all you found and shared about our friend and fellow artist - for being the fulcrum. Thank you, Patricio, for your news and hug across the ocean over Tim. Thank you Julia for creating our meeting ground. Thank you dear Barbara, for pointing me to the exact place I remember Tim best.
Thank you, Jane. For this darling view of our beloved Tim, and for the others you shared that help us to see him, not just the way he saw himself - but for the way you saw him - in his earnest, naturally seeking way. Walking along in step with a grand walking song. I am so sorry that he is gone, but so glad that you had him. And that the rest of us are bettered for you both.

"Pour nous la mort est et demeure quelque chose de négatif - la cessation de la vie ; néanmoins elle doit avoir aussi un côté positif, qui toutefois nous demeure caché, parce que notre intellect demeure absolument incapable de l'appréhender. D'où vient que nous reconnaissons bien ce que nous perdons par la mort, mais non ce que nous gagnons par elle ?"

A few days ago I was walking along Charles Street, next to the Charles River, in Boston. As I walked, I had to watch every step because the sidewalks beneath my feet were made of bricks, probably placed by immigrants in the 1700's. As I approached Panificio, a delightful bakery and bistro, I spotted this young man sitting at a seat facing out towards Charles Street. I thought to myself, "he looks like a law student at Harvard". During my days in Boston, including visits to the campuses of Harvard and MIT, I thought about the young students who graced those campuses. Many of those students grew into adults whose leadership and vision helped change our world.
As I made this photograph, I wondered if I was capturing a man who one day might change the world. Would he be President of the United States? A member of Congress? A brilliant scientist or doctor whose intellect saves millions of lives?
I carry a camera with me to purposefully document life that happens around me, wherever I may be. I'm not alone -- many documentary photographers do the same thing every day. In doing so, photographers may be providing a vision into the future of America, or the world, depending on who is in front of the lens of their camera.
This young man looked like a young JFK or RFK to me, and when that thought hit me, I realized a photographer just like me, in the late 1940's or early 1950's, could have captured JFK or RFK sitting in a bistro just like this young man -- not knowing whether he might become a President or Senator, and more than that, not knowing an assassin's bullet would end his life prematurely.

History
The John Rogers who bought Riverhill in 1840 was an only child, with a modest fortune, and a fine intellect. He became a classics scholar, a scientist and a friend of Charles Darwin. He was one of the first members of the Royal Horticultural Society and a patron of the plant collectors of the day.
He chose Riverhill because its sheltered situation offered an ideal lime free hillside where he could hope to establish newly introduced trees and shrubs. From his garden notebook, it can be seen that planting started in 1842. Subsequent generations, continued the planting and in 1910 Colonel John Middleton Rogers created what is now known as ‘The Wood Garden’ a fine collection of Japanese Maples, Rhododendrons and Azaleas. His wife, the infamous Muriel, created many additions including the now hidden Rock Gardens.
Until the beginning of the 2nd World War, eight full time gardeners kept Riverhill looking immaculate. Since the war years, however, a shortage of manpower and a lack of money has meant that the garden was allowed to deteriorate, with many parts of the original planting lost to everyday use and visitors.
Today, four generations of the Rogers family live at Riverhill,
The estate is managed by Edward Rogers (Great-great-great-grandson of the John Rogers who bought Riverhill in 1840) and his wife, Sarah.

Hey guys, sorry for the (kinda) absence, life is mean to me right now. Anyway this is mainly a repost of old stuff, but it’s a new pic. Enjoy!
L-R: Hawkeye, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp, and Mockingbird
____________________________
Origins: After Captain America’s supposed death in 1942, Howard Stark, Nick Fury, and Timothy Dugan came up with an idea of making a team of people that were like Captain America, the Avengers Initiative (and SHIELD, but this is about the Avengers). However, Stark and Fury were unable to get the project started due to the lack of technology and Howard was killed along with his wife in which stalled the project further.
In the 70s, Hank Pym created the Pym Particles and became Ant-Man and his wife, Janet Van Dyne, became Wasp. This caught Fury’s attention and he told them about the project, in which Pym agreed to help Fury. Sadly, Fury was shot which slowed the progress of the Avengers Initiative yet again. Then, a news story about Tony Stark gave Hank and Janet the spark of motivation to keep trying because Tony Stark was not only a millionaire philanthropist, he revealed that he was the Iron Man.
Before Fury was shot, Stark was kidnapped by terrorists because of his genius intellect and his weapon building skills. However, he was saved by a suit of armor he made with another hostage, Yinsen. However, Jinsen was killed before Tony was able to power the suit in time which triggered the heroic side of Tony. Tony then joined the Avengers along with Bruce Banner who was seeking help for his angry friend (you know who that is right, right?)
The Avengers’ first mission occurred in 1980 where a tall man who claimed to be the God of Thunder was destroying property and blowing things up. The Avengers put up a decent fight, but the “Thunder God” got the better of the Avengers. However, due to the appearance of Thor, Stark got a reading of something unusual under the Atlantic Ocean. The unidentified being under the ocean happened the be the Star Spangled Man, Captain America.
Steve Rogers, used to be Captain America, woke up 10 years later in the 90s and joined the Avengers shortly after taking in what happened to him. During the 10 years of thawing the Capcicle, The Thunder God, Thor joined the team along with Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye and Barbara Morse, AKA Mockingbird. The Avengers team is currently led by Steve Rogers and is funded by SHIELD.
Soldat Kurt ''Klaus'' Amsel is a former soldier who defected from the Wehrmacht. He is one of the main protagonists that's going to appear in a future brickfilm of mine, called ''Jacqueline's Letter''.
Background
Kurt Amsel was born in the city of Dresden. At a young age he showed signs of intellect and at the age of 20 he went to university. During that time Germany sufferd greatly at the hands of the economic crisis of the 1930s. Kurt wasn't sure if his family and himself could afford to stay at the university any longer. He was one of the many Germans who were persuaded by Hitler's charamestic talking and he soon after joined the Wehrmacht. He had potential to join the infamous Waffen-SS, but for unknown reasons he chosen not to.
He fought for the ideals of Germany.
Most of his friends joined the German resistance agianst the Nazi's, but most of them died.
A few days after D-day. Kurt was tasked along with his devision to defend occupied France from any allied advancements. In the heat of the battle he got lost from his comrades and encountered a US soldier and a young Jewish girl. After a small fight between the two soldiers, Kurt was taken prisoner by the US soldier named: Ryan Oswald. Kurt was brainwashed by Nazi propaganda, but was willing to help Ryan and the girl. Because he didn't had a choice at first. He's wanted by his own comrads for desertion and he's wanted by the allies because he's fought for the Germans. He eventualy grow a bound with Ryan and the girl named Jacqueline and vows to help her to find her father.
Kurt is actually the smartest of the group. He can speak a bit English and can understand Ryan based on sign language and voice tones. He originally showed a dislike towards the two, because Ryan was a US soldier and in his point of views they were the invaders. Jacqueline was a jew. But his dislike towards her isn't that great than of that of Ryan. He eventually bounded with the two as they tried to survive behind enemy lines.
Originally Ryan wanted to shoot him, but Jacqueline insisted to bring him along. He sometimes get into a heavy discussion with Ryan over time to time, but it mostly end with Jacqueline
intervening.
His design is simple of that of a German soldier, his most notble piece is his red scarf. Giving a small hint of his past.
He will make a cameo appearance in my upcoming brickfilm and a leading role in my future brickfilm. Called Jacqueline’s Letter.

Dr. Harvey Fineberg: The Art of Precision and Grace
There is a kind of intellect that does not merely gather knowledge but refines it—polishing ideas as one might a fine instrument, until only the essence remains. Dr. Harvey Fineberg possesses such an intellect. A physician, scholar, and leader in the grand enterprise of medicine, he has spent a lifetime shaping the very institutions that shape health itself. Yet on a quiet afternoon in Bernal Heights, far from the podiums and policy rooms, he opens the door in a perfectly tailored suit, welcoming a visitor not with proclamations, but with conversation.
His home, shared with his wife, Dr. Mary Wilson, is elegant but unpretentious. Books line the shelves, ideas resting in hardcover. There is no air of self-importance, no need to assert authority—only a quiet attentiveness, an ease that puts others at ease. His manner is gracious, his words carefully chosen not just for their clarity, but for their warmth. The talk, as expected, turns to medicine—its ever-shifting frontiers, the nuances of research, the ethics of decisions that ripple through generations.
Fineberg speaks as he thinks: precisely, yet expansively, with a clarity honed over decades of leadership.
Fineberg has long been at the nerve center of medical science and policy, shaping how we think about public health, decision-making, and the future of medicine. As President of the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine), he guided the organization through an era of transformation, elevating its influence in global health policy. Before that, as Provost of Harvard University and Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, he led initiatives that broadened the scope of medical education, emphasizing evidence-based policy and interdisciplinary research. His work has touched everything from vaccine policy to the ethical considerations of emerging biotechnologies.
And then, a pause. The conversation winds down, and instead of retreating to more papers, more analysis, Fineberg turns to his grand piano. He sits, fingers hovering over the keys—one discipline giving way to another. The man who has spent a lifetime diagnosing and prescribing now engages in a different kind of medicine, one where the notes, not numbers, set the rhythm.
As the first chords fill the room, one sees the throughline: the same meticulous attention that governs a well-reasoned argument governs his playing. Thoughtfulness in every transition, restraint in every crescendo. It is the mind of a scientist expressed through sound—an acknowledgment that some things, even in medicine, are felt more than they are known.
Here is a man who understands the body but also the mind. Who leads with logic but does not disregard the heart. Who is both decisive and kind, brilliant yet humble, rigorous but never dismissive. And in that moment, as the last note lingers in the air, one thing is certain: whether in science or in music, precision is its own kind of grace.
Have you ever felt this total upliftment , watching bloom photos on your computer screen?? This awe, that is a very emotional moment, like sharing with a beloved person a clear starry sky, somewhere out there all alone , during a serene summer night?
Well, for me, both situations, create unbelievable strong feelings of upliftment, of a deep, emotional gratitude, of thanking the Universe, because I have eyes to see , a human heart to feel, an intellect to admire…
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral,
But it is not the same as the spiritual quest.
The spiritual quest is on another level altogether,
Spiritual wine has a subtler taste.
The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect.
The spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
~ Rumi
The colour Yellow is the colour of Sunshine, Hope, and Happiness !! It stands for Freshness, Positivity, Clarity, Energy, Optimism, Enlightenment, Remembrance, Intellect, Spirituality, Honor, Loyalty, and Joy !!! ……What else do you want???
I personally prefer the Golden Yellow , because it makes my heart sing, like the colour White does !! Therefore, I have plenty of both representatives in the garden, which make EXCELLENT associations with all the rest strong bloom colours in the garden, like the reds , Indian pinks, and blues!! Well, I would say a very ….Mediterranean-style-coloured garden…
Malcolm Margolin greeted me with wild eyes and a grin that didn’t care for solemnity. I photographed him at his home in December 2021, where he sat surrounded by a lifetime of books, stories, and a certain irreverent joy. Despite the slow encroach of Parkinson’s, Malcolm was electric: playful, thoughtful, utterly alive.
He’s spent decades preserving the voices of others, especially those too often erased, through his writing and publishing. As the founder of Heyday Books, Malcolm gave California back to itself, one story at a time. Native histories, natural landscapes, the rhythms of seasons and culture—he made them vivid and accessible. In doing so, he helped generations remember how to listen.
Malcolm Margolin’s books feel less like authored works and more like invitations. They invite you to sit around a fire, to walk an old trail, to remember what was nearly forgotten. His most enduring book, The Ohlone Way: Indian Life in the San Francisco–Monterey Bay Area, published in 1978, reintroduced the world to the Indigenous peoples of California with a kind of reverent clarity. It wasn’t anthropology for its own sake. It was a reweaving of memory, a reminder that the land we walk on holds stories far older than our cities. The San Francisco Chronicle once called it one of the hundred most important books of the 20th century written about California. They were right.
There’s something profoundly countercultural about the way Malcolm shows up in the world. He doesn’t chase relevance or power. He listens. He tells jokes. He makes a face. That afternoon together, what struck me wasn’t just his intellect, which is capacious, or his memory, which still flares with detail. It was his delight. Despite the tremor in his hands, he leaned into the moment. Curious. Open. Fiercely human.
This portrait captures him in that spirit: not in decline, but defiant in joy. A man unafraid to look silly. A man who knows that sometimes the best way to carry truth is through laughter.
There are people who spend their lives trying to leave a mark. Malcolm has already carved a whole topography of language, land, and love. And somehow, he’s still out there, adding lines.
“If the mind is to emerge unscathed from this relentless struggle with the unforeseen, two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to the truth; and second, the courage to follow this light wherever it may lead.”
Karl von Clausewitz
