a photo collage project based on items found in the street

One of my images was featured in the Disobediant Objects exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. On till Febuary 2015. This is the photo in the Catalog.

Mystery objects on the Edinburgh & Glasgow mainline, these in a field in Lenzie.

Objects found in the sifted debris at Fresh Kills landfill, Staten Island. They seem to be mainly guns. And bullets. The legendary photographer Joel Meyerowitz was the only photographer given access to Ground Zero. His book is called Aftermath.

Michael Heizer, 1996, near Bruce R. Thompson Federal Courthouse, Ward 1, Reno, Nevada, USA, sculpture. Photo 1 of 2.

1) i make this way because it gives people an idea that time = money

2) This photo is interesting to me because it really shows how time represents money when it comes to work; including penny and quarter.

3) the emotion i have was to be serious about the time that you have

4) I choose 1/80 shutter speed because comparing to 1/100, i like this one due to the light. I use 1/5.0 aperture because the higher the shutter, the lower the aperture? (i think).

I found this phone during our office move. In an impersonal office we try to add a little whimsy. We don't always succeed.

National monument to the heroes of the Heydrichiade

The exhibition is located in the underground crypt of the Baroque church of St. Cyril and Methodius. This was an authentic battlefield during the Second World War in Prague, a secret hiding place which the Czech Orthodox Church granted to the Czechoslovakian parachute jumpers from 27. 5. 1942 to 18. 6. 1942 after the attack on Reinhard Heydrich.

National Memorial for the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror - Place of Reconciliation

History

At the corner of the streets Resslova and Na Zderaze a Baroque church was built in the years 1730 - 36 according to the project of Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer and Paul Ignaz Bayer. The important Baroque hall building originally was dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo. It was part of the neighboring dormitory for emeritus priests, which was dissolved in 1783 and turned into a barracks and a camp. In 1866, the building of the priest dormitory became an integral part of the Czech Technical University and was adapted to its needs.

The church nowadays is situated on an elevated terrace which was created by the landscaping of the surrounding area in the 80s of the 19th century. It is an elongated hall construction, the nave of which has three parts, a church choir and a presbytery. The frescoes in the interior, depicting the scenes from the legend of St. Charles, stem from Karl Schöpf, the author of stucco decoration from 1739 is Michael Ignaz Palliardi. The original onion roof of the tower was removed in 1883. Since its abolition as a sanctuary, the church only in the years 1934 - 35 has been regularized and renovated for theological purposes of the Czechoslovak Orthodox Church. 29. 9. 1935 it was solemnly consecrated to Saints Cyril and Methodius and became the seat of the orthodox bishop.

Occupation

The church during the occupation left a profound mark on the history of the republic. It was a hiding place of the parachute jumpers who participated in the assassination attempt on the deputy protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Reinhard Heydrich. In the church were seven of them: Serge Valčík, sergeant of the Silver A group, Lieutenant-General Adolf Opálka from the Out Distance group, Jaroslav Švarc from the Tin group, troop commander aspirant Josef Bublík and troop commander Jan Hrubý from the group Bioscope and the sergeants Josef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš from the group Anthropoid. On May 27, 1942, the two last mentioned carried out the assassination attempt on Heydrich. The search operations of the occupators made their departure from Prague impossible. Among the parachute jumpers was Karel Čurda from the group "Out Distance" who drove to his mother to South Bohemia after the parachute jump to hide there. He finally told the Germans everything about the training and the people who helped them and with whom they were hiding. Subsequent interrogations led to the discovery of the shelter in the church. The members of the SS and the Gestapo surrounded the church and its surroundings, and on June 18, 1942, in the early morning hours, fighting broke out. The heroes Opálka, Kubiš and Švarc fought against the Germans on the church choir, the remaining four defenders in the crypt. They had no chance of winning against the superior number of the Germans, so they used the last cartridge after the ammunition had been exhausted for finishing their own lifes. When the Germans invaded the church, five parachute jumpers were already dead, two died during their hospitalization. Apart from many others who helped the parachute jumpers, the representatives of the Orthodox Church and the Temple of St. Cyril and Methodius, who took part in the hiding of the parachute jumpers, were also executed. The Orthodox church was banned in September 1942.

Monument

After the war the church was repaired in the years 1945 - 47 and also the crypt was made accessible to the public. In memory of the parachute jumpers, in 1947 a bronze commemorative plaque with the reliefs of a parachute and a priest including the names of the heroes and their protectors of František Bělský was installed on the wall of the church crypt. In 1951, the Orthodox Church gained legal independence and the church became a metropolitan temple. The present iconostasis (the passage wall between the altar and the room for believers) was created after the sketch of architect Vladimir Alexandrovich Brandt by the painter Vukovic.

In the church of St. Cyril and Methodius, the folk monument of the persecution associated with Heydrich was opened on 28 September 1995. This epoch is called Heydrichiade in the Czech Republic.

 

Nationaldenkmal für die Helden der Heydrichiade (Národní památník hrdinů heydrichiády)

 

Die Ausstellung befindet sich in der unterirdischen Krypta der Barockkirche des Hl. Cyrill und Method. Es handelt sich hierbei um einen authentischen Schlachtplatz während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Prag, um ein geheimes Versteck, welches die tschechische orthodoxe Kirche den tschechoslowakischen Fallschirmspringern von 27. 5. 1942 bis zum 18. 6. 1942 nach dem Anschlag auf Reinhard Heydrich gewährt hat.

Objekt geschichte

Nationale Gedenkstätte für die Helden des Heydrich-Terrors - Ort der Versöhnung

(Orthodoxe Kathedralkirche St. Kyrill und Methodius)

Geschichte

An der Ecke der Straßen Resslova und Na Zderaze wurde in den Jahren 1730 - 36 nach dem Projekt von Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer und Paul Ignaz Bayer eine Barockkirche erbaut. Der bedeutende barocke Saalbau wurde ursprünglich dem Hl. Karl Borromäus geweiht. Er war ein Bestandteil des benachbarten Wohnheims für emeritierte Priester, das im Jahre 1783 aufgelöst und in eine Kaserne und ein Lager verwandelt wurde. Im Jahre 1866 ist das Gebäude des Priesterwohnheims zum Bestandteil der Tschechischen technischen Hochschule geworden und wurde für ihre Bedürfnisse adaptiert.

Die Kirche liegt heutzutage auf einer erhöhten Terrasse, die bei den Geländeregelungen der Umgebung in den 80er Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts entstand. Es ist ein länglicher Saalbau, dessen Schiff drei Felder, einen Kirchenchor und ein Presbyterium besitzt. Die Fresken im Innenraum, abbildend die Szenen aus der Legende des Hl. Karls, sind von Karl Schöpf, der Autor der Stuckverzierung aus dem Jahr 1739 ist Michael Ignaz Palliardi. Das Originalzwiebeldach des Turms wurde im Jahre 1883 abgetragen. Die Kirche wurde seit ihrer Aufhebung als Heiligtum erst in den Jahren 1934 - 35 für theologische Zwecke der Tschechoslowakischen orthodoxen Kirche geregelt und renoviert. 29. 9. 1935 wurde sie den Heiligen Kyrill und Methodius feierlich geweiht und zum Sitz des orthodoxen Bischofs.

Okkupation

Die Kirche prägte sich in die Republikgeschichte während der Besetzung tief ein. Es versteckten sich hier die Fallschirmspringer, die sich am Attentat auf den vertretenden Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich beteiligten. In der Kirche waren sieben von ihnen: der Feldwebel Josef Valčík aus der Gruppe Silver A, der Oberleutnant Adolf Opálka aus der Gruppe Out Distance, der Unterfeldwebel Jaroslav Švarc aus der Gruppe Tin, der Zugführer Aspirant Josef Bublík und der Zugführer Jan Hrubý aus der Gruppe Bioscope und die Feldwebel Josef Gabčík und Jan Kubiš aus der Gruppe Anthropoid. Die zwei zuletzt Genannten führten am 27. Mai 1942 das Attentat auf Heydrich durch. Die Fahndungsaktionen der Okkupanten machten ihren Weggang von Prag unmöglich. Zu den Fallschirmspringern gehörte noch Karel Čurda aus der Gruppe Out Distance, der sich nach dem Fallschirmsprung zu seiner Mutter nach Südböhmen verstecken fuhr. Eben er verriet schließlich den Deutschen alles über das Training und die Leute, die ihnen behilflich waren und bei denen sie sich versteckten. Anschließende Verhöre führten zur Entdeckung des Unterschlupfs in der Kirche. Die SS- und Gestapoangehörigen umzingelten die Kirche und die Umgebung und am 18. Juni 1942 in den frühen Morgenstunden brachten kämpfe aus. Die Helden Opálka, Kubiš und Švarc kämpften gegen die Deutschen auf dem Kirchenchor, die restlichen vier Verteidiger in der Krypta. Gegen die Überzahl der Deutschen hatten sie keine Chance zu gewinnen, und so benutzten sie nach der Ausschöpfung der Munition die letzte Patrone zur eigenhändigen Beendigung ihres Lebens. Als die Deutschen in die Kirche eindrangen, fünf Fallschirmspringer waren bereits tot, zwei verstarben während ihrer Einlieferung ins Krankenhaus. Außer vielen anderen, die den Fallschirmspringern Hilfe leisteten, wurden auch die Repräsentanten der orthodoxen Kirche und des Tempels der Hl. Kyrill und Methodius, die sich am Verstecken der Fallschirmspringer beteiligten, hingerichtet. Die orthodoxe Kirche wurde im September 1942 verboten.

Denkmal

Nach dem Krieg wurde die Kirche in den Jahren 1945 - 47 repariert und auch die Krypta wurde zugänglich gemacht. Zum Gedenken an die Fallschirmspringer wurde im Jahre 1947 an die Wand der Kirchenkrypta eine Bronzegedenktafel mit den Reliefgestalten eines Fallschirmspringers und eines Geistlichen inkl. der Namen der Helden und deren Beschützer von František Bělský angebracht. Im Jahre 1951 gewann die orthodoxe Kirche die rechtliche Selbstständigkeit und die Kirche wurde zum Metropolitantempel. Die gegenwärtige Ikonostase (die Durchgangswand zwischen dem Altar und dem Raum für Gläubige ) wurde nach dem Entwurf vom Architekten Wladimir Alexandrowitsch Brandt durch den Maler Vukovic geschaffen.

In der Kirche der Hl. Kyrill und Methodius wurde 28. 9. 1995 das Volksdenkmal der mit Heydrich verbundenen Verfolgung eröffnet. Diese Epoche wird in Tschechien Heydrichiade genannt.

This was the object we all got during class. A wedding Bow!

exhibited in group exhibition 'smile'at Ruthin Craft Centre

I had the subject on a third and tried to get it to fill up most of the frame. I used a dark background and a flashlight because I wanted the face of the clock to stand out the most and I wanted the chain the be a part of the background. I found the most interesting part of the photo is the subject, since this is a pocket watch and it is something that has died out. The feeling that I want to show was how forgotten this object is. I used a low f stop to get the clock face in focus and have a blurred background. I had a low shutter speed and a 200 iso because the room was dark and the only light source was a iphone flashlight.

Out at the end of civilization (as known in New Mexico) the other day, I didn't have time to shoot everything I wanted, so I brought these items home - all were picked up at that site as I walked back to the car.

On Friday, August 7, 2015, a few lucky tweeters joined @amhistorymuseum and @SILibraries to tour "Object Project," "Fantastic Worlds," and the Dibner Library.

I took the photo this way in order to act out a scene. Where a "deal" is being held. What makes this photo interesting is that the way that this photo is composed. With just objects I acted out a scene of a "drug deal". Also I liked the texture and detail of the money and "drugs". The emotion is regret for getting ripped off on fake drugs. I also had a like a straight-forward feeling. I used a white background in order to make the objects clear and simple. I chose the shutter speed of 1/125 just cause it was a little too light. The aperture was at 6.3 to allow more light in. I used an iso of 800 t get a bluish background to match the "drugs".

These stainless steel gates were designed and made by Anthony Robinson as a gift from the people of Hampshire to commemorate the marriage of the Prince and Princess of wales in 1981. The wall, formerly the outer wall of the castle, is 10 feet thick.

The objects above our objects that I use everyday. My lashes and lipgloss are always everyday things for me. My sewing materials have started to take on a new meaning because I have had more time on my hands to brainstorm and sketch clothes for my upcoming line and upcoming business. I included my keys, hand sanitizer, gloves , and my mask because they have been essential to my life for the past few months; plus I also use my car to make extra cash.
