The CUSP bus.
Made by Bradford based papier-mache artist John Shanks.
We have taken commissions for many of these over the years to be made to commemorate births, Christenings, weddings and retirements.
After nearly 13 years trading Cusp will close tomorrow.
We had a good ride.
We had a conversation about the bits and pieces that collect in our house and the objects that map how you live. Great idea lets gather some of them together and see what they look like as a whole. With little thought other than this here is the resulting image. Yep, it's just so much c--p, but then, what about the... this could run for some time as an idea.

I met with David Brill second time at the convention in Poland this year (Kazimierz 2010). He was so kind and borrowed to us several of his folds. This is pointed cube. Thank David very much!
Objectivity, truth, are tricky. There's the linguistic complexity and the abstracts.
I used to work for an organisation who called themselves 'neoplatonist', simplistically considering that Plato's Ideals existed in the real world, somewhere, and applied themselves to material objects in various ways. Maybe I misrepresent them - but I didn't buy much of their philosophy. One Idea was that there was an Ideal Science. I read the booklet (generated may years before by the Leader of the time, a prolific man, but a man of libraries, archives and words) but made neither head not tail of it in scientific terms. There was no understanding of the Method, or Process, Ideal Science was just a static thing, so - no spiralling round the 'Truth' to get closer to it.
This Order also placed high value on the Will as an aspect of Mind/Intellect. They did indeed show remarkable willpower and staying power since 1947. But each individual Willed towards slightly different objectives, according to character. This could, at times, generate considerable conflict, especially with employees! I thought they paid insufficient attention to the physical body and the 'heart's' emotions. These three (or two if you consider the mind a strange emergence of the body) in fluctuating balance is what is required in my life, sometimes more, sometimes less.
The objective lens of a microscope is the one closer to the Object, the other is the eyepiece, maybe there's something in that. The Eye is further from the real thing which is too small to see unaided. The eye gives perspective, two eyes give distance, the mind extrapolates with imagination.
I like the upper case and the lower case, they can be so subtly expressive.
There is value in examining the past, enjoying or at any rate dealing with the present and speculating about the future.
This is an image of an icy puddle, now employed as background on my laptop. It froze, melted and sank into the mud ages ago, cycling and re-cycling itself. I'm looking at it in a different way, now, and I'm feeling that I could work.
Ho fotografato una mongolfiera dalla finestra di casa, una serie di circa 10 scatti.
In tutte compare uno strano oggetto (abbastanza statico rispetto al possibile movimento di un uccello od altro) che non avevo notato in fase ripresa. Sembra un calamaretto volante... che dire?

I made several pictures of this hot-air balloon and, after having downloaded on my PC I noticed that - in all of them - appears a very strange flying object. It really does not look as a bird of a plane...I do not know what to think, really!

A very long chain of events meant that it was sensible to get a new phone - so I went expensive.
The manual's 207 pages + appendicies and index. Might take a while to work out how it all works.
But it does make phone calls.
This photo meets the requirements of the assignment because the two tree stumps in the photo have been removed. They definitely distracted from the feel of this snowy day picture. I like the way the front steps lead you down into the picture.
I would use this picture to evoke a response in writing class. The prompt would be something like "What is happening inside the house on this snowy day?"
I learned many things attempting to eliminate the tree stumps. It is easier to cover up objects using a bigger brush. Choose the area carefully or it shows up as brighter or different from the selected area.

There just isn't anything to say about this, except that it's for today's fugger challenge, SPs w/ Phallic Objects.
The picture you see is one of the world's largest groves of the world's largest trees. Redwood Mountain Grove covers five square miles with more than 2,100 giant sequoias larger than 10 feet in diameter.
The National Park Service mission requires us to protect these "natural objects." How? We protect the natural processes that create the conditions that those objects require. In the case of sequoias, a process that holds the key to survival is fire. Without it, these giant trees cannot regenerate.
