The students and teachers of Perspectives Middle Academy (located in Auburn Gresham) are making tremendous academic and social emotional learning growth. Just this past year SY 2013-2014, they made almost two (2) grade levels of growth in both math and reading.

One of my favorite places to ride my bike takes me past this interesting fence. It is a great example of diminishing perspective.
The image was captured with a Canon S90 compact. One of these days I'll have to take the DSLR out to this site and see how I can improve on the shot. But, I won't be on my bike carrying the heavy gear.

At the advent of construction using bricks, it was indeed a milestone and an awe-inspiring moment when everything gelled and the masterpiece was beheld. Decades later, the emotional effect of brick-work is still captivating as seen in its entirety at Colbeck Castle, Old Habour in St. Catherine, Jamaica. I call this perspective cz I guess I felt a Spiderman moment at the time or maybe just the inability thereof. Sometimes I just feel to change my normal view from the normal human and do the superhuman. **sigh. I guess for now I'll just remain with scaffolding or pics like these which add a different perspective on life.
The tail of the Gray Whale as compared the other boats watching really puts the size of this magnificent creature in perspective.

“The material basis of media technologies – and books are only one example – is changing, for which historical perspectives might give not only comforting back-up (‘nothing is as permanent as change’) but also ideas to push the change forward.” (Jussi Parikka, 2012)
We can certainly talk about change; our present landscape is a space where the digital and physical have become synonymous, which many believe to be signaling the coming of an ontology-less future, through the accelerated disruption of cultural value. In this light old standards show their age and obsolescence in the face of the new, and with each new wave of informational overload we are further alienated by the system, that revolves around an economy of monetary circulation. All these factors come together to push a re-evaluation of identity and the human value. This brings to mind the genealogy of currency, articulated by Joseph Beuys during the discussion entitled What is money? : “Of course ‘Geld’ [‘money’] comes from ‘Gold’, same etymology. But it comes equally from ‘Geltung’ [‘validity’], meaning the value people fix based on their perception of a natural right. The word ‘Geltung’ is rooted in representations of a natural right, while the word ‘Gold’ is rooted in the economy of barter!” (Joseph Beuys, 2012).
In this light, Geltung [validity]: perception of a natural right brings together four artistic investigations that re-evaluate established methods of financial exchange bestowing new material values and identities to their subjects. In a landscape where monetary currency is pinnacle, the artists interrogate notions of personal and individual history, locality and its impact in identity and the framework that contains our cultural objects.
Diogo da Cruz’s work, WORDCOIN (2016 – Current), proposes the implementation of a new currency, that will give a literal value to each one’s speech. By creating The Bank for Argumentation, the costumer-museum-goer will have the opportunity to trust his or hers arguments to an institution that can save and trade them, giving the deserved and objective exposure to their ideas. Max Dovey presents Breath (BRH) (2017), a digital currency that is mined through human respiration. The installation combines breathing and micro-computers to mine, store and trade human breath as a virtual currency on the crypto-market(s). The market value of BRH is determined by the inflation created by respiratory miners who participate in the physical installation. Felicity Hammond’s artworks draws upon images from her own archive, using documents of the landscape and found images online; those of both existing and imagined future spaces. Hammond utilises particular motifs and structures that respond specifically to the digital representations found online of Dundee’s vast regeneration programme. For I keep forgetting I’ve been to Tokyo: GAIDEN (2017), Petra Szemán follows the virtual self through parallel and intersecting realities, along the departure-initiation-return structure of a hero’s journey. Drawing upon personal and/or constructed experiences, the work explores the idea of a non-localised identity that’s an archive of accumulated personal mythologies acquired from a multitude of realities.

"Perspectives" is a series of free conversations with DCPA Theatre Company cast and crew on the evening of each show's first preview performance (except A Christmas Carol). On Sept. 30, DCPA Senior Arts Journalist John Moore was joined by 10 members of the Frankenstein team, including Sam Buntrock (director), Kevin Copenhaver (costumes), Jason Sherwood (scenic design), Kevin Tovar (lighting), Curtis Craig (sound), Topher Blair (projections) and actors Max Woertendyke,

One of my favorite drawings for my final Design review for this semester.
The structure is placed within the landscape and this is the first time I've used hidden construction lines in a drawing which I think is quite interesting.
First year of college is almost over. I have another four years to go, unless I make a decision to transfer to a different school.
My future goal: Get my masters at Columbia or top/Ivy-league college!!!
Wish me luck!!!

In a subsequent assignment, students will be challenged to take advantage of a short focal length to compress space, forcing distortions in the viewer's perspective. Since this shot was of the same model, I just included it here in this gallery with the 4 main angles of view.
