Art & Fear
Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking
by David Bayles & Ted Orland
“If, indeed, for any given time only a certain sort of work resonates with life, then that is the work you need to be doing in that moment. If you try to do some other work, you will miss your moment. Indeed, our own work is so inextricably tied to time and place that we cannot recapture even our own aesthetic ground of past times. Try, if you can, to reoccupy your own aesthetic space a few years back, or even a few months. There is no way. You can only plunge ahead, even when that carries with it the bittersweet realization that you have already done your very best work.”
The stage on day 1 of the Gobi March 2005 is aptly nicknamed "The Valley of the Kings". It is a 32 km run through dry riverbeds and grassy pastures.
One of the tactics we use as a team is to employ a towline. This is basically a bungee cord that a weaker team member can hook onto a stronger teammate and get a little help. In this shot, my teammate, Aloysius, is towing me to keep up the pace. He ends up with an enormous blister on his heel for his effort. Eventually, we finish the day somewhere in the middle of the pack.

The beautiful soft light pre dawn reflecting through the fog and mist.
Was called in to work last night, left early as had to fulfill an obligation to photograph amongst others this Lake. Slept for an hour on the shore and woke to the most beautiful pink reflection in the fog which I will post later on.....

Over a million emaciates left Ireland during the Great Famine. Now, they are commemorated at Custom House Quay as if they, and all their earthly possessions, are bound for the departing steamer.
Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.
In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.

It isn't too late. We still have time to recreate and change the value system of the present. We must! Survival will depend on it. Our Earth is our original mother. She is in deep labor now. There will be a new birth soon! The old value system will suffer and die. It cannot survive as our mother earth strains under the pressure put on her. She will not let man kill her.
The First Nation's Peoples had a value system. There were only four commandments from the Great Spirits:
1.Respect Mother Earth
2.Respect the Great Spirit
3.Respect our fellow man and woman
4.Respect for individual freedom
We must all stand together as a force of love. Be united NOW. There is only one way. Communication. Knowledge. Arm yourself with truth, love and perserverance. Extend your family. Join with others in giving. We are all related. People of the earth take back your heritage. I am not speaking of skin color or religion. Our heritage is this earth... Our heritage is also extended beyond this earth into the heavens where the spirit once lived before our birth into this world. You are bound to both.

Desmonde is a girl I know from derby. She no longer plays roller derby but seems to lead a life that reflects the perserverance and agression that is required in the sport.
Desmonde is a smart smart girl who cares about others. To me the combination is rare and pleasing. I am happy to know her and happy that she is doing what she wants/needs/loves.

The 'Cape Expedition' was a secret WW2 programme which stationed New Zealand coastwatchers on the Auckland Islands and Campbell Island. Their mission was to keep watch for Axis ships at Carnley Harbour, Port Ross, and Perserverance Harbour.
Tagua station was manned from 1941-44. No enemy ships were sighted, but the coastwatchers, many of whom were scientists, made important scientific studies of the subantarctic islands' weather, geology, plants and wildlife.
At Musgrave Peninsula, we walked up to the derelict coastwatchers' hut, hidden in thick forest. Nearby is an observation post, which has recently been restored by Department of Conservation volunteers.

My teammate, Aloysius, raising his arms at the sight of "Disco Ridge". We ran on the ridge for a glorious half hour. I leap-frogged to the front of and behind my teammates to get as many shots as possible.
The Pentax Optio 43WR is a great camera for this sort of activity - it is light, water-resistant, and takes normal AA batteries.
