Maker Faire 2017 was bigger, louder and hotter than previous years. Many of the attractions were still the same, but they felt more grown up. I particularly enjoyed the illuminated art in the Dark Room, such as Peter Hudson’s 3D Stroboscopic Zoetrope. I also enjoyed all the ingenious robot exhbits and the Traveling Spectacular’s vaudeville performance
I gave a talk about our Maker Art classes on Sunday morning. We teach children to create magical worlds together, combining art, tech and storytelling. Our students get really engaged in the process, which helps them develop their creative, problem-solving and social skills.
The presentation was well received by a great group of teachers, parents and kids. I connected with several librarians and teachers interested in teaching Maker Art in their communities. And one mom reached out to me afterwards to say this was the best talk she heard this year.
Maker Faire remains the Mecca for Bay Area DIY hobbyists and it was well worth the trip for me. I made some good connections after my talk and learned more about robots for our next classes. Onwards!

Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.
The original Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual Bay Area event with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 75,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Rome, Oslo, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of "featured" 2014 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and almost 100 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world, including right here in Portland.

These guys were tearing around inside a ring made of concrete highway dividers smashing up microwaves and hotwheels and smashing into each other and shooting fire all over the place. Here's the smaller one ramming the bigger one. Propane tanks and high speed collisions...what's not to love!?

NEWPORT, R.I. – The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) holds a commencement ceremony for the College of Naval Command and Staff and the College of Naval Warfare 2023 graduating classes June 16, 2023, on board Naval Station Newport. The ceremony, presided over by NWC President Rear Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, saw 468 students from senior-level leadership and intermediate-level leadership courses, including 103 international students representing 78 countries recognized alongside 1,925 students having completed coursework through NWC’s College of Distance Education programs, 121 of whom attended the graduation in person. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Representative to the United Nations, gave the commencement address. Established in 1884, NWC is the oldest institution of its kind in the world. More than 50,000 students have graduated since its first class of nine students in 1885 and about 300 of today’s active-duty admirals, generals and senior executive service leaders are alumni. Since creating a program for international officers in 1956, the college has more than 4,500 international alumni from 137 countries worldwide. Approximately 10 percent of these alumni have become chief of their country’s respective navy. Today, NWC continues to deliver excellence in education, research, and outreach, informing today’s decision-makers and educating tomorrow’s leaders. (U.S. Navy photo by MC1 Dan Charest/Released)

Maker: Edouard Baldus (1813-1889)
Born: Germany
Active: France
Medium: heliogravure
Size: 6" x 12.5"
Location: Paris
Object No. 2011.058a
Shelf: J-41
Publication: Recueil D'ornements D'après Les Maitres Les Plus Célèbres Des XV, XVI, XVII et XVIIIe siècle, Héliogravure Par Edouard Baldus, Paris, rue d'Assas, 25,1866
Other Collections:
Notes: Beginning in the mid 1860s with this publication, and lasting until the early 1880s, Baldus primary commercial activity centered on the production of photogravures, a process he first explored in 1854. This plate is part of his first major publication in gravure form, a series of 100 heliogravures published in 1866 reproducing ornamental engravings of past masters, including Aldegrever, Master IB, Beham, Boyvin, de Bry, Delanne, Durer, Ducerceau, Holbein, Jansz, Lepaurtre, van Leyden, Marot, Solis, Vico and Woeiriot. This work had nothing to do with promoting artistic photography or his own photographic work; instead it was an industrial application of photography that brough credit and financial gain to Baldus as an inventor and entrepreneur rather than an artist. Originally trained as a painter and having also worked as a draughtsman and lithographer before switching to photography in 1849, Édouard Baldus (1813–1889), became a central figure in the early development of French photography and acknowledged in his day as a pioneer in the still-experimental field, was widely acclaimed both for his aesthetic sensitivity and for his technical prowess. Establishing a new mode of representing architecture and describing the emerging modern landscape with magnificent authority, he enjoyed high patronage in the 1850s and 1860s. Yet, despite the artist's renown during his lifetime, his name is all but unknown today, his work savored only by connoisseurs. Baldus made his reputation with views of the monuments of Paris and the south of France, with dramatic landscapes of the Auvergne, with photographs of the New Louvre, and with a poignant record of the devastating floods of 1856. But it is his two railroad albums—the first commissioned in 1855 by Baron James de Rothschild for presentation to Queen Victoria, the second in 1861 by the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranee railroad company—that are his greatest achievement. Here he brought together his earlier architectural and scenic images with bold geometric views of the modern landscape—railroad tracks, stations, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels—to address the influence of technology (of which both the railroad and the camera are prime examples). In so doing, Baldus anticipated the concerns of Impressionist painters a decade later and those of many artists of our own day, meeting his task with a clarity and directness not since surpassed. Beginning in the mid 1860s with this publication, and lasting until the early 1880s, Baldus primary commercial activity centered on the production of photogravures, a process he first explored in 1854. This work had nothing to do with promoting artistic photography or his own photographic work; instead it was an industrial application of photography that brought credit and financial gain to Baldus as an inventor and entrepreneur rather than an artist.

Maker: Alexander Gardner(1821-1882) from a painting by E.H. Miller (1831-1921)
Born: Scotland
Active: USA
Medium: albumen print
Size: 5 in x 6 3/4 in
Location: USA
Object No. 2020.580f
Shelf: ART-1868
Publication: Robert Burns, Tam O'Shanter, With Illustrations by E.H. Miller. Photographed by Gardner. W.J. Widdleton, New York, 1868
Other Collections:
Notes: Caption below the illustration "Gardner, Photo / Washington". Born in Scotland, Alexander Gardner immigrated to the United States in 1856. Gardner had been in Washington since 1858, when he took over Matthew Brady's Washington gallery, breaking with Brady in 1862 but maintaining the Washington studio. His Photographic Sketch Book of the Civil War, produced in 1866, just two years prior to his work on Tam O'Shanter, remains one of the greatest photographic projects ever published in America. The work by Burns, Scotland's national poet, would certainly have appealed to him. The book's lavish production, with its use of original photographs taking the place of more commonly used wood engravings, represents a rare and unusual venture into American book illustration for its time, and testifies to Gardner's pride in his Scottish roots.
Eleazer Hutchinson Miller was born at Shepherdstown on February 28. 1831. His father, Solomon, was a sergeant in the War of 1812. Born into a family of artisans — weavers, carriage makers, cabinet makers and needle crafters — he early on showed a talent for drawing and, with no formal training in art, made portraits in oil of some of his friends. He left Shepherdstown at age 17 for Washington, D.C., where he began studying art at the school of a Mr. Gibson. To finance his education, he worked for several years for the National Intelligencer, a Washington newspaper at the time. In 1885 he opened his own studio and devoted his attention to portrait painting, numbering many prominent men of that time among his patrons. Besides oil paintings, during his artistic career, he produced water colors, crayon drawings and etchings.
His etchings illustrated several books including Robert Burns’ Tam O’Shanter, and a book of poems by Rebecca Ruter Springer published in 1889, entitled, Songs by the Sea. Partially blind and in poor health in his later years, he died in Washington, D.C., at age 90.
