Stepford, the SL family paradise, a place that has no crime, no poverty, and no pushing. :)
The Town of Stepford is a modern-day expression of a gated community. More than just a place to hang your prim hat, it's a place for you to shop, learn, and LIVE!

View of the Achaemenid Palace in Susa towards the Western Gate on the left side. The reassembled glazed reliefs at The Louvre give some impression of the grandeur of the Susa Apadana during the reign of Darius.
Nothing much remains of the palaces, apart from foundations and some fragments, so it's a challenge to photograph. I normally try to shoot archaeological sites around people, and especially avoid any modernday presence. This time I included the phonebooth in the shot to acknowledge the timeless history of Susa.
Walked around Greenpoint, Brooklyn with my friend Arthur yesterday, you never know what you'll find in that neighborhood. Art just got his D90, never owned a dSLR before, so make him feel welcome, or curse him out. Your decision.
Anyway, have a good long weekend everyone! I'm out til Monday night. Catch up with all of you then.
The other day I was looking at my old cameras... Nostalgia... Well, I decided to take a shot of my camera-family. They're all here, except my Nikon Coolpix L11 - I had to take the photo with it :-)
Holga and Unomat use normal films, Santam uses special cassettes (I'm not even sure if you can still get them anywhere) and Canon is, of course, digital.
(All of these cameras are still in perfect working order!)
somewhere in glacier national park.
mid-1960s.
that tent was the only thing other besides their mortgage that they bought on credit.
they just couldn't wait to go camping.
it is still in usable condition today although the tent poles are too long to fit inside most modernday (non-suv) cars.
i learned that the hard way.
(i'm pretty sure that's the diaper pail to the right of the 'door'.)
I stopped in Hindley Street yesterday morning on the way to work to take some quick photos, and found this exotic building straight out of a fantasy sci-fi novel. A real life gem in modern day Adelaide.

The most important part of any Indian marriage is the wearing mangalsutra . Known as Thaali in tamil. groom puts 3 knots while tying the Mangalsutra around the neck of the bride to ensure her character: the first knot indicates that she is obedient to her husband, the second that she is docile to her parents and the third that she fears God. In Moderndays, Mangalsutra is losing its significance due to influence of Western Culture and Women Empowerment.

My mother and my brother Michael.
My mother could almost pass for a modernday Billyburg hipster mom, except she has no tattoos. At least she didn't when this photo was taken.

The labels say:
=> My hair is mostly gray in the front.
=> Words I intend to say come out as something else.
=> I've known people for decades not just years.
=> I can get so tired...and every once in a while going to bed at 8 p.m. and sleeping until 5 a.m. is necessary to function.
=> I look at something and can't remember the word for it.
=> Older family members are dying - leaving me as the "next in line."
=> I believe the music I listened to as a teen and in college was more complex and better written than what is being produced now.
=> I hear myself say, "When I was your age...."
=> I can remember NOT having:
...a microwave
...color t.v.
...air conditioning in the house or car
....power windows on the car
....a cell phone
....a personal computer or laptop

A 14-year-old Lahu girl is prostituted in a village controlled by a narco-insurgent group about 10 miles outside of the eastern Shan town of Kengtung in Burma. She was being offered for 8,000 kyat (about $5 USD) for sex.

Back in town we found this. A umiak, the boat that the Inuit used to hunt bowheads. The regulations that allowed them to catch a certain number of whales, stated that they had to use these boats, with an outboard motor the only compromise for modern tecnological "improvements". They were not allowed to use exploding harpoons or any of the "tools" used by modernday whalers.

And I thought it was scary and "roughing it" to be in a 90' crabber with a galley and a head (toilet/shower)!

She got her wig so now, it's time to reveal her name. Meet Elune.
I named after the goddess Elune from World of Warcraft. I kinda like to imagine her as a modernday Kaldorei (= Elf) who was named after Elune, the goddess.
The U.S. Department of State estimates between 600,000 and 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders each year. Millions more are enslaved within national borders. Human trafficking is truly a world-wide phenomenon-- paradoxically hidden in the shadows and out in the open for all to see.

Modernday nomads from the 2006 Plymouth-Banjul Rally set up camp in the lee of a huge dune in the Mauritanian Sahara.
In the foreground the 'Govern Militar' (?) building. In the background the ancient Born and Sant Pere neighborhoods. Note the shadow of the 60 metres high memorial on the square below!
Behind it all the further sprawl of modernday Barcelona.

Interesting that they should keep this room furnished this way, just as it was in 1945, when MacArthur spent his first night in Japan here at the very beginning of the Occupation.
But are 1945 furnishings really that different from modernday furnishings, enough so to make it interesting to see? Not really.
The hotel was built (or rebuilt?) in 1927, following the devastation of the 1923 Kantô Earthquake, and remains a very fancy hotel today, with ballrooms and elegant common areas and foyers reminiscent of the earlier days of the heyday of Western activity in Yokohama.
I regret not having any picture of the facade, or indeed of any part of the hotel other than inside this room, but then I'm not sure if the outside of the building is all that exciting.
