As viewed from the North Window Overlook. The dirt parking lot at Artist Point is just barely visible.
JimFlix gave me the idea to paddle the entire length of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Leg two of my mission started at the Empire Beach, and ended at the Point Betsie Light. The hot August sun, and the cold Lake Michigan water created hazy conditions that made the horizon nearly disappear.
The West Point Scoutmasters' Council hosts the 54th Annual West Point Camporee from April 29 to May 1. This year over 6,500 Scouts and parents participated in the event at Lake Frederick.
Quick weekend trip to San Diego. My wife was invited to attend a stamp class, I hung out with my buddy and his son. We went to Cabrillo National Monument, home of the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, the first on the west coast.
This sentinel to San Diego Bay, which stands on a cliff 422 feet above sea level, was completed in November of 1855, and retired in 1891.
In clear weather, it was visible from 25 miles out to sea -- but it was often obscured by fog, which obviously was a big problem for ships trying to enter the harbor.
The new Point Loma Lighthouse was moved to the bottom of the hill where its been shining bright for 117 years.
The crumbling remains of Boddin Point lime kiln is long overdue its collapse into the sea. The old fishing boats mirror its forgotten working past.

Yellow blazed trail takes a sharp right turn amongst the boulders, but looks like it keeps going straight on up the hill. Easy turn to miss, but only evident that it is a decision point on the ground.

On May 17, 1642, on a point of land at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and another, smaller river, Father Vimont held a mass celebrating the founding of Montréal, attended by Sieur de Maisonneuve, Jeanne Mance and their companions. On May 17, 1992, on the very same site, Pointe-à-Callière, the Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History, opened its doors.
Until the Museum opened, only historians knew about the "Pointe à Callière," so named because it was here that Chevalier Louis Hector de Callière, third governor of Montréal, had a home built in 1688. Today, the point has actually become part of the shoreline of the Island of Montréal, but its name lives on and is better known than ever, thanks to the Museum.
The Museum was founded as part of celebrations to mark Montréal’s 350th birthday, and owes its existence largely to the significant archaeological discoveries made on the site during the 1980s. In fact, the Museum and its site are inextricably linked. Rising above evidence of more than 1,000 years of human activity, it houses remarkable architectural remains, displayed in situ with absolute respect for their integrity. Pointe-à-Callière is the only sizeable archaeology museum in Canada. The hundreds of artifacts it houses are grouped into six main sections: the Éperon, a modern building that has won many architectural awards; the archaeological crypt on the lower level; the renovated Ancienne-Douane building (Montréal’s first Custom House), the Youville Pumping Station, the Archaeological Field School and the Mariners House. The museum of a site, a history and a city, Pointe-à-Callière delves into the past to foster a debate on urban issues both local and global, and to encourage visitors to reflect on the future.

My work is about the exploitation of women.
As you can see, I was influenced heavily by Barbara Kruger's work. Similar to her, I used bold text for a saying that is controversial and offensive. I want these to be offensive. These sayings are not necessarily my views but more of how society sometimes views women. I want my viewers to understand how it feels to be a woman. I myself am offended every day when I am told how to act, look, feel, and that I am being “unladylike”. It doesn’t feel good to see beautiful women everywhere you go bringing you down even more because apparently my peers don’t do that enough.
I am saddened that some women actually try to fit into the stereotypes and do whatever society tells them. I admit, I do some of them too. It’s a rough world trying to “fit” in. It also saddens that because I am not thin, don’t sleep around, don’t always look the prettiest, don’t suffice to a man, I feel like I don’t fit in or even to the point that I may not be considered a woman to some.
But I AM woman. I am strong. I am brave. I DO have the power to fight these stereotypes and be my own person. I hope you feel empowered by these images. Never forget, a woman brought you into this world. Appreciate that. We have the power and we are strong.

Point Malcolm lighthouse is on the channel between Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert, and is the only inland lighthouse in the Southern Hemisphere
Pigeon Point Lighthouse on the Northern California Coast. I remember it when a person could go inside. It can still be saved with enough money.
after driving two hours north of san francisco, almost 60 miles of long, narrow, winding road, over cliffs and valleys, the driveway to this lighthouse was already closed when i got there. i walked a quarter mile to get to the front of the steps only to find that the steps leading to the lighthouse itself is closed too. worst of all i didnt bring my 70-300 lens, never expecting that theres a gate that is that far to the lighthouse.
point reyes lighthouse as described in several travel books, is the foggiest and coldest part of the california coast, that getting a clear view such as this is rare. i guess that was the one big consolation for me.
