You hurry while I stand here, trying to recapture the past. And here you are, brushing it aside, the past of tomorrow, which is the present of today, you are brushing it aside as you stride along, intent on your cheap present practical and physical desires and comfort. You fool. Wait, don’t hurry.
Fools I think. Myself a fool. I must take it slow now and look at the present and say to myself: look, John, hold the present now because someday it will be very precious. Hug it, and hold it.

I remember this moment vividly. She probably does not. My first weekend in Hong Kong and on my way to do an early-morning workshop. She emerged from an alleyway after what looked like a long night of partying. Not sure why I sat on this one for so long...it's one of my personal HK favourites

A quick and simple improvisation made a few days ago in the
countryside. I just felt like climbing on some giant cloud and forget
everything. Where is Heaven located? Higher always higher!!!!!!!!
This sketch is, in some way, related to that other one.

Stairway To The Sky
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
stairway stairway
to the sky
way above me

clouds like candy
cotton white
fluffy, dandy
silky, bright

from way up high
stairway, stairway
in the sky

Evolution
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
Evolution
Revolution
Faith
Science
Uptight
Upright
Who's right?
Who do we think we are?
Created by
Science or
God?
Are we allowed to know?
In the shadows
Mankind is blessed
Or lined up with the beasts?
Are we above the rest
Science or religion
Puts faith to the test.
Indian Clockvines in the Aquatic Room of the New York Botanical Garden. If you look closely, the first vine looks a bit worn and out of focus, the second one is in peak bloom, and then there is a faint shadow of a third vine that has almost, but not quite, been erased by the bokeh blur. I love this lens. The Bronx, NYC -- February 26, 2023

Hurry Before I Disappear
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
Sing me a down yonder
Of notes I can ponder
Throw me a bone
I feel so alone
Why don't you phone?
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I sing this one last tune
Hoping you'll throw me a bone
Pick up the phone
Or drive on thru
Just remember to pick up
A happy meal
and thick rich chocolate
Shake or two
In this great yonder
There are thoughts
I must ponder
Throw me a bone
I feel so alone
Out in this great wide yonder
Get me a meal
It's no big deal
But throw in a prize
Before I dyze....
ouch it hurts to be me
Hurry before I disappear
Detail from a site specific work I really enjoyed at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
The work is by Barbara Kruger (1945), an American conceptual artist and collagist, whose work often employs ironic quotes, questions and paraphrases to challenge and stimulate the viewer and question mass culture’s representations of power, identity and sexuality.
Within the art piece, you are immersed in room sized text. The whole piece covered an immense area.

Macro Monday project - 01/14/13
"Rule of Thirds & 3”
Many MacroMondayers are thinking about 8 years of fun this group has given us. I like this Emily Bronte poem that reflects on the past, present, and future. Looking forward to MacroMondays "stretching into infininty".

I am drumming,
I am drumming,
I am drumming
for my Love's ever nearing union.
They say get a life.
What is all this drumming?
I swear to that Love,
the day that I stop drumming,
is the day that I will stop living.

We've often wondered what happened in our area in the past and what might take place here in the future.
We know farmers brought wagon loads of tomatoes to a nearby wharf, long collapsed and gone, where they were loaded onto barges and hauled down the creek to a soup factory in Camden.
Long before then, the Leni Lenape Indians may have camped here as they traveled to the Delaware River and out into Delaware Bay on their way to the Atlantic seashore.
This single image made using ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) seems to blur time. An existing building becomes a ghost and surrounding trees almost disappear. The forest flattens and becomes dunes along the creek.
So, if you look closely, do you see a scene today, one from the past, or the future? I like to think this image reflects both our impermanence and that of our surroundings as we spend some of our short lives here.

Don't distract me honey, I'm having a good read!
.
The Dilbert Principle is one of the funniest books ever written for people working at the office, and sadly enough it's all true.
.
I started reading this classic back in 2009... and because I wanted to extend the joy of this book, I decided not to finish reading it directly, and put it on a shelve instead.
So now, 10 years later, I can continue enjoying the rest of the book.
Some books are not worth to consume in just one weekend, it doesn't do any harm to take your time for pleasure.

304/365
Having spent the better part of my life trying either to relive the past or experience the future before it arrives, I have come to believe that in between these two extremes is peace. – Author Unknown
What is interesting about a 365 day project is that, at least for me, it somewhat mirrors life.
In the early part of the project I was concerned about the future of the project, always thinking about and planning for shots in the future. In high school I was thinking about college, in college it was graduate school, and in grad school it was about my career. Wishing I could reach into the future and pull it down to the present.
As I look back I see pictures I am not happy with, days I wish I could do over, much like the mistakes I have made over the course of my life. Wishing I could reach back into the past and pull it to the present in order to change an event.
What I have realized through this project is that the place to be is right where I am at. I wake up every morning with a plan to take a picture that day but no idea where or what it will be, relying on the experience that I have done that so many times before and it has worked out. Life is much the same, a plan for the future based on what we have learned from my past, but living in the here and now. Dwelling on either extreme will only make me miss the opportunity of today.
If you have one eye on yesterday and one eye on tomorrow, you're going to be cockeyed today – Author unknown
Amsterdam - Stedelijk Museum - Barbara Kruger - Past/Present/Future
Push L to watch on black !
Barbara Kruger’s work with pictures and words addresses mass culture’s representations of power, identity and sexuality. As she has stated, “I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are, what we want to be, and what we become.” The range of Kruger’s works is broad—from photographic prints on paper and vinyl to videos, room-size installations, public commissions, printed matter, and a variety of merchandise. Using the language of direct address and words like “you,” “me,” “we,” and “they,” her works reach out into the social space of the spectator.
In this installation—designed especially for the building’s largest gallery, known as the Hall of Honor—Kruger’s wraps the floor and walls with printed texts that “speak” directly and loudly to the spectator in a chorus of voices. Her provocative, emotionally charged statements about how people regard and treat each other disrupt the decorum of a traditional museum space. Bringing the world into her work and her work into the world, she confronts stereotypes and clichés, shattering them with a rigorous critique, a generous empathy and a sharp wit.
The Summer Solstice is an important event of the calendar. This year it marks a very special 'Birthday' for a dear and wonderful friend.

Allow me, before I start, to ask you to look at each photo in this sequence and to read each accompanying part of the story. Each of the following photos are not different angles or context shots of the same sculpture, as I might usually post, but are in fact all separate moments of the sculpture's life that brought together make the full artwork and must be viewed all together to appreciate everything that it portrays. Without doing so it is like reading half a book, seeing the first act in a play or looking at only the frame of a painting.
Here's the past week condensed. Just add water (preferably ice), leave to stand for a minute, stir and serve.
So the cold snap continues, although it is due to end in the next 24 hours and it has allowed me to do more with ice than I have before.
Apart from last year, the last ten winters have been mild with only a couple of cold ones in the previous twenty. Before that we supposedly had proper winters, those that we like to trot out whenever someone, who wasn't old enough to remember them, comments on how cold it is. "Cold? This isn't cold lad, I remember when winters were winters, and we only had one pair of shoes between the whole street. We had to break the ice in the loo when we needed the toilet. Etc etc etc."
Well, that deal is off. This winter is a proper one and seems to be breaking records all over this country and elsewhere too.
How I remember those winters, though, may not be entirely accurate. I remember the snow being deeper than we get now. And I remember the snow being around for months with no gaps. But then again I remember Christmas day taking 9 months, like a full gestation period of extreme tension to arrive, after breaking up from school for the holidays. And I guess the snow was deeper then as my wellies were only half the height of what I have today. It's the same with the mystery of the ever decreasing Wagon Wheel. Have they really got smaller? Or did they seem bigger thirty years ago because my head was smaller?
An experiment in 3 dimensional painting and extending the usual 2D picture plane (which is always in 3D anyway!) with some inspiration from Richard Tuttle.
The title has reference to the distance between the nearest object, the frame and the furthest picture in the background. light from this picture always takes longer to reach us, but it some how appears to me as being in the future as its yet to be fully exposed.
