'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.
Hal, Breeze and Michael were recognized for their long standing volunteerism, support, sweat and perserverance. They have all served several years as BSN Officers, developing and promoting LGBT activities for our Ohana. Each were presented with a Koa bowl and here's their photo op. Mahalo nui loa aikanes!

Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery
120 City Park Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana
circa 1840
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery was built on the banks of what was Bayou Metairie at the end of Canal Street in 1840. In 1841, the remains of firemen buried elsewhere in the city were moved to Cypress Grove. The entrance pylons and lodges were designed in the Egyptian style by Fredrick Wilkinson for a cost of $8,000. Many Protestant began to be buried here when the Girod Street Cemetery began to deteriorate. The cemetery is lined with Wall Vaults many of which contain the remains of volunteer firemen. There are also several large multi-vault tombs of volunteer fire companies such as Perserverance Fire Co No 13, Philadelphia Fire Engine Co No 14 and the tomb of Eagle Fire Co No 7. Elaborate tombs such as those of the Robert Stark and the WH Letchford families stand in the cemetery alongside the cast iron tomb of former mayor foundaryman, Charles L Leeds. One of the most interesting tombs, is the Soon On Tong Association tomb used as a temporary burial space of Chinese residents. The remains were once brought here for ceremony before being shipped back to China. The tomb of Maunsell White, veteran of the Battle of New Orleans and promoter of the use of hot peppers and pepper sauces (still used today), is buried here.

All of my studying and perserverance paid off! The wait is over and I finally received my entrance letter. Thank God!
I have started a blog for the 365 Project at davidjin.wordpress.com Check it out!
For this picture, i used a picture of leonidas and his army marching through the rain for the background. next, i went to adjustments --> photo filter --> cooling filter (80) and messed around with the color a bit. next, i went to adjustments --> brightness and contrast and moved those around. then i went to adjustments again and used shadow and highlight to make it a little darker, and bring out the white tomes in the picture. next i went to filters and selected despeckle. from there i imported the picture of leonidas in the top left, and used the magic wand and eraser to get his face, then turned his opacity down. last, i did the type layer "perseverance". i used the type warp tool, then rasterized the image. then used the smudge and stroke tools to create that dripping blood effect. last, i pasted the definition in, and gave it an outer glow that had a large, but blurry shape to it. then i put the perseverance layer on top of that.

This is for a great friend who also had Chiari like me and he was sweet, kind and a ray of sunshine, hope and perserverance and he passed away Tuesday morning at the age of 24 years old, from complications from surgery :( I miss him but am grateful for his life and for the fact he is no longer in pain and agony and finally has the relief he so desperately wanted and needed.

In Pride the root of every sin doth lie; Hence man himself doth hold in loftier frame than others, and deserving lot more high. (English poem).
His Pride is so strong that he has forsaken those who are in need.
The Good Angel coveteth evermore man's salvation,
The Bad beseteth him evermore to his damnation,
And God have given man free arbitration,
Whether he will himself save, or his soul perish.
Within his castle Mankind is safe, the sins cannot harm him,
except he gives them power to do so.
The seven sins, the kings three
To mankind have enmity;
Sharply shall they now help me,
This castle for to break.
Bad Angel: Nay: by Belial's bright bones,
There shall he in no wise dwell,
He shall be won from holy ways.
To the world the flesh and the Devil of Hell

So... I cheated. :) this picture isn't from today. I ran a four mile race today, and walked off without my camera in the whirl of "do I have my meter/shot bloks/car keys/ ridiculous fanny pack to carry them all in?" So this picture is in the same spirit of what i wanted to capture tonight.
This picture is actually from last year's Boston half-marathon (not the full - and no, you don't have to qualify. thank god. :) ) This was my 3rd half marathon, and I ran it with my dad (far right). My Dad turned 60 last year and decided that the way to celebrate was to run his first half marathon. And he SMOKED me. (I can always fall back on the excuse that running and checking your blood sugar at the same time considerably slows you down.) Anyway, this was pre-race - we all still look happy..:) and I have my most annoying but necessary piece of running equipment - my oh so chic fanny pack, that is just big enough to fit my smallest meter, a pack of strips, my poker, and some shot bloks. It's actually made with diabetes in mind, because there is a hidden pocket in the back to stash your pump so it's not bouncing around while you're running - which is really nice.
Anyway, I guess my point to this rambling description is just to note that i inherited some stubborness and perserverance from my dad. He wouldn't let age keep him from accomplishing something on his "bucket list", and I wouldn't let diabetes.
I'm finding this really interesting. I think I am learning a lot about my process. This was a painting that I hated. I remembered what Betsy Dillard Stroud said about a bad painting is just one that isn't done yet. I pushed and pushed through this.... it has about 10 layers of acrylic on it.... I still don't think I really like it, but it got to be an exercise in perserverance. It has also been weird working without the whole thumbnail, color sketch planning process. I feel really strange without that kind of planning. I hope this will serve to get me painting, and then I will return to my planning process where I'm "safer". Right now I am trying to paint like a kid.....,just paint. I find that I really look forward to working it into my day. It's not a burden, it's a pleasure....YAY!
This is from another excursion in Juneau. We hiked the Perserverance Trail. At its head is this mine shaft. It blows out a refreshing jet of 42 degree air.
I took this in the garden at home.Note the tiny silver spider on the bee's face.I love my macro lens.There was a slight breeze blowing while I photographed this which made it very difficult to get a clear capture,but in the end my perserverance paid off.
he really didn't love me sticking my camera in his face but he stood his ground. (even while I ripped this plant out of the ground and transplanted it!)
First I imported all three pictures. I re-sized them and arranged them in order. Next I made the outer images black and white and used changed the color/brightness. Then I feathered the middle image and change the opacity to make the other images slightly show through. Next I added PERSEVERANCE using the text tool and changed the font and color to yellow. I also gave it a outer shadow and a black stroke. Last I added the definition and matched the font, color, and stroke.
