MFPA - Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (Supporting Handicapped Artists since 1956)

MFPA believes in Rehabilitation through their Art.

The partnership of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists takes pride in not being a charity but a self-help organisation of seriously disabled artists, belonging to the worldwide Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists. Its members have all learned to draw and paint with the brush held in the mouth or between the toes as they lost the use of their hands.

Please no pity, but respect for their work, is the demand of the artists.

The formation of the Associations in 1956 gave all members the opportunity to completely support themselves through the sales of their paintings reproduced as cards, calendars and other items.

Their work is offered to you on artistic merit and value for money considering the way the designs have been painted. If the work is liked and one wish to purchase, then it will help them to gain the self - respect that comes from earning the living and finding financial independence for life and creative self - fulfilment.

Whichever of the two possible Xylocopa European species -

valga or violacea this happens to be

(and given it's shooting location, the Violacea is by far

more probable, however, the feeler's shape seems to

point to the Valga)

their flight patterns are spectacular - and rather hard to

record faithfully - that is... NOT TO give an impression

of a technically immaculate picture, but otherwise yielding

an impression of a "dry" insect, just hanging

in a mid air like a mechanical, or plastic toy on it's invisible

string!

 

The one shown is actually flying backwards, from a flower

seen at lower left, and incredibly fast at that! if a car flashing

by you at 100 mph seems quick, than this little

critter went even faster (qualitatively speaking)

 

It was certainly veeeery lucky shot, and so all my other efforts

to get at the problem of IIFs (insects in flight) of this species

were, up to date, by far less successful:

 

And this is in a direct opposition to trying captures of BIFs (birds

in flight) of small species, when it is rather a matter of patience,

and of course gear - needs to be bright, with quick AF, and

foremost of sufficient reach - if not, then patience is not quite

good enough = noise, poor resolution, etc., but... capture

it will be none the less.

 

However... SOME of us are better with their reaction

speeds than most:

I'm kicking myself for screwing up the DOF on this one. This is why I need to fix my flash. And/or get a tripod.

Photo taken before a game in July 2018, between the Milroy Yankees and the Raymond Rockets. Both are Town Ball teams, or Minnesota Amateur baseball teams. Milroy won the game 1-0. The below is taken from the Milroy Yankees Website, located at www.milroyyankees.com:

  

Baseball was Milroy’s claim to fame after the tremendous 1954 season. The state champs had brought notoriety to the small community, and Milroy would forever be linked with baseball.

 

With pride overflowing, the community of Milroy decided to back the team in a new way that fall by building a new baseball field. Milroy’s original diamond was on Highway 68, or what is considered main street in Milroy. Home plate on the old field rested where Kirsh Korner is today, with right field straight south alongside the road. This location had presented problems for the ticket takers because the park was not enclosed, and people would wander in from any direction. According to the 1951 manager of the Milroy Yankees, John Kagel, “with the old field right along the highway you would have a problem collecting tickets. You needed six to eight guys, I mean you would not believe the crowds.”

 

The old field not only presented problems for the ticket takes, but parking was a problem as well. Many stories were told of people going to church at ten o’clock, and parking their car alongside the field, then walking home, just to have a parking spot for the game later that afternoon. Another story, probably a tall tale, had people parking their cars on the highway the night before to insure a spot.

 

In the fall of 1954, the town of Milroy took donations from thirty-five people and some businesses and purchased a plot of land from Carl Rolland. The plot is located on the southern edge of Milroy at the intersection of Highway 68 and Redwood County Road 32. The donations the team received ranged anywhere from ten to one hundred dollars.

 

The money raised was enough to buy the land, but much work was still needed to be done. Once again the community pitched in and formed work groups to supply the labor. Louis Dolan remembers:

 

"The baseball players were up there [at the site of the new field], the townspeople were there and then after six farmers would come in. They would get together in groups and decide on a time and a whole bunch of them would come on up. The farmers would work in their fields until six, and then a group of twenty or so would meet at the field. There was people that hadn’t played baseball a day in their life up there helping."

 

“It was a community thing as far as the work on the land,” recalls John Kagel. “I know that my part of it was sodding the infield. And I got a group of businessmen together and we rented a machine and went out about six miles south of town. Then from a farmer by the name of Hicks, we got sod out of his pasture, and the local implement dealer had trucks and trailers and we hauled it in. This was in the spring of the year and us amateurs laid the sod and watered the infield like crazy, that was the year we had a really dry spring, but it stayed.”

 

The entire field, the grandstand, and the wooden outfield fence, with painted on ads were all built within six months. “The old diamond was a fair diamond, but nothing like this. It sits out here by the road where everybody can see it, and everybody was proud of it coming through on the highway. The whole community was proud of it,” remembers Louis Dolan. Even today, the field stands pretty much as it did that spring of 1955. The adds on the fence have been repainted and the scoreboard is different, but the field still brings smiles to the face of the originators of Milroy baseball.

The Kalasha or Kalash, are a Dardic Indo-Aryan indigenous people residing in the Chitral District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. They speak the Kalasha language, from the Dardic family of the Indo-Aryan branch. They are considered unique among the peoples of Pakistan. They are also considered to be Pakistan's smallest ethnoreligious group, practising a religion which some scholars characterise as a form of animism, and other academics as "a form of ancient Hinduism".

 

The Kalash are considered to be an indigenous people of Asia, with their ancestors migrating to Afghanistan from a distant place in South Asia, which the Kalash call “Tsiyam” in their folk songs and epics. Some of the Kalash traditions consider the various Kalash people to have been migrants or refugees. They are also considered to have been either descendants of foreign people, Gandhari people and the Indians of eastern Afghanistan. Based on their shared genetic drift, it is considered that they may be an ancient drifted North Eurasian stock.

 

The Kalash of Chitral have maintained their own separate cultural traditions.
