"In my view the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture" Ridley Scott (Director of Blade Runner, Alien, Gladiator, The Martian, and others).
What a scrumptious mix!
Heart’s eye
Probes past
Bone and blood,
Brother and border,
Sees the You in Me.
The stardust spectrum
Of each of our lights
Reflects the spectacles
Donned to glimpse
This new dawn’s creation.
"All I want is freedom
Is that too much to ask?
All I yearn for is freedom
I’m stuck inside this flask
All I need is freedom
To let me live my way
All I seek is freedom
To get me through my day
What I request is freedom
And give me what you will
I urge a little freedom
To guide me up this hill. "

a restored heritage building at The Britannia Shipyard in Steveston, Richmond BC. The Britannia Shipyard is the oldest surviving structure on the Steveston waterfront and the oldest shipyard building in British Columbia. This large net loft was built c1954 for the Anglo British Columbia Packing Company, who owned the Britannia site from 1892 until 1969. Originally constructed as a seine net loft, it has more recently been used as a storage facility.
Net lofts were constructed at cannery sites all along the Steveston waterfront to store and repair fishing nets. Their location on pilings over the water made it easy for fishermen to load and unload their nets from the fishing boats.
Their large size and cavernous interiors were designed to enable the large nets to be suspended for drying. (from descriptions on site)
The sun, with all those plants revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.

The Big Telecoms are all spying on each of us on the unconstitutional behalf of our government, which Obama will never do anything about, & they are giving huge sums of payola to our congressional representatives & senators, many of whom lie criminally in bed with them, where, yes, whores & Johns that they are, They feel each other up.
You might want to address an email to the Great American Brothel - that is, Washington, DC - or you might prefer to feel helpless & hopeless, & await the certain & unpleasant fate that these entwined vipers will soon enough bring to you in forms much worse than the ones already slapping your face.

WHAT I wrote to my congressman, Rep. Rick Larsen (D) WA, because he sneakily sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opposing net neutrality:
FCC: Stand Firm for Net Neutrality
Dear Rep. Rick Larsen:
Net neutrality is to the internet what freedom to express, print & distribute information & opinion is to the press. Opposition to net neutrality in order to obtain campaign funds or other perks from corporations & their lobbyists is not really any legislator's assertion of opinion, as some legislators pretend, but is a crime against the republic.
Make net neutrality permanent. Support net neutrality or lose my support & the support of everyone I know. A nation in which corporations dictate the formation of public policy & legislation of that policy into law by corrupting its politicians is ... well, how would you finish this sentence, Mr. Larsen?
Sincerely ...
Net Results group of fishing nets stuck in a barrel just made an interesting arrangement, some vivid colors from the netting, found in North Carolina.
I lightly oiled the fish tank net with olive oil (to prevent the water drops from running) and stretched it flat on it's frame (lots of clothes pegs to keep it stretched out flat).
The water drops were created individually with a syringe
The whole set up was placed in an improvised light tent (tomato growing frame and a white sheet) and lit by a couple of fluorescent work lights from the garage.

When it was my birthday six months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case, the wonderfully delicate net baric embroidered with minute blue and pale pink sequins I bought yesterday from a shop that specialises in luxurious and unusual fabrics. I could hardly wait to use it! The fabric was manufactured in Milan. I have accessorised them on a 1930s embroidered tablecloth with two Dewhurst's Sylko Peach Rose reels of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954 and a small Edwardian cotton reel of soft Kingfisher Blue made by J. P. Coats.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
In 1802 James Coats set up a weaving business in Paisley. In 1826 he opened a cotton mill at Ferguslie to produce his own thread and, when he retired in 1830, his sons, James & Peter, took up the business under the name of J. & P. Coats. In 1952 J. & P. Coats and the Clark Thread Co. merged to become Coats & Clark's. Today, the business is known as the Coats Group.
