2019-02-01 DON COOPER The Tipping Point and Neutral Gray No 6 Sandler Hudson Gallery
Sandler Hudson Gallery is pleased to announce the latest body of work from celebrated painter Don Cooper. Cooper’s exploratory practice has led him from figurative painting to abstract work. As he says, “I’m looking for something I’ve never seen before, something described by its difference.” The "Tipping Point and Neutral Gray No. 6" is a show comprised of evidence of this search.
The work that immediately predates this exhibition explored the fire and heat of creative passion through the shape of the triangle. Cooper’s new paintings have become less specific. By stretching and distorting the triangular shape while attempting to retain the energy of the three-sided image, Cooper creates work that looks for meaning in imbalance.
D O N C O O P E R has lived and worked in Atlanta since 1976. He has been awarded fellowships from the Fullbright Program, SECCA 7, The Southern Arts Federation, CGR, and Awards in the Visual Arts. In 2004, Cooper was one of six Georgia artists to be included in the MOCA GA exhibition Transitions II, curated by Karen Comer Lowe. He is one of three winners of the inaugural 2007 MOCA GA Working Artist Project Grant. He was awarded the Judith Alexander Artadia Award in 2009.

Welcoming 2010 with Nagsasa Cove along with my friends Mon, Weng, Arvhin, Jar, Jieson, Randy, Cherry,Hazel,Kristen and Che. Two days and one night of camping in this wonderful place. It feels so good to be back shooting landscape.
Nagsasa Cove is twice the distance of Anawangin Cove from the shores of Pundaquit Zambales. The place is inhabited but occasional Aetas who travel around and will be willing to accompany you if ever you decide to trek the hills and forests behind the cove or nearby mountains.
Streams and waterfalls run water down from the mountains and will sometimes be a better place to hang out as the water can be cooler compared to the water from the beach. But they dry out during the hot summer and dry seasons.

“We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.”

The Point Wilson Lighthouse, near Port Townsend Washington, marks the entrance to the Puget Sound at Admiralty Inlet.
This lighthouse has been an active aid to maritime navigation since the day its Fourth Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1914.
The nautical charts show this lighthouse at 51' tall, casting an alternating white / red flash every 5 seconds visible for 15 miles.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
Point Bonita Lighthouse is a lighthouse located at Point Bonita at the San Francisco Bay entrance in the Marin Headlands near Sausalito, California. Point Bonita was the last manned lighthouse on the California coast.

I personally believe it is much better if viewed at the larger sizes....
Cadets from the University of Colorado–Colorado Springs (UCCS) compete in the water obstacle event during the 5th Brigade Army ROTC Ranger Challenge, Camp Gruber, Okla., Nov. 7, 2021. Teams were tasked with deploying a Zodiac boat, navigating their watercraft across a small lake with all of their gear, and successfully carrying everything back to the starting point after landing on the east shore. UCCS received a perfect score as the fastest team to complete the event with a time of 22 minutes and 18 seconds. | Photo by Kyle Crawford, U.S. Army Cadet Command Public Affairs
A fisherman relaxes at North Point in Barbados. I guess actually catching a fish would be a bonus.
I understand that sometimes you can actually see migrating whales from this vantage point....I wasn't so lucky, maybe next time.....Right Anton?
Zabriskie Point, Death Valley National Park, California; late spring, sunrise; winter is probably the best season for this photo; also perhaps should have stood further to the right, so the peak is not lost in the shadow behind

Oneohtrix Point Never's richly complex audio landscapes demand attentive listening, but luckily give the listener no other choice than to be drawn in completely and experience the journey.A beautiful trip through intimate fields of sound filled with noise, synths, melodies, strange rhythms and beautiful vocal samples. Daniel Lopatin has proven himself a true craftsman in his field of ambient music by staying clear of the conventions and creating his own personal, very emotional sound. His new album 'R Plus Seven' will be released only a couple of days after his show at TodaysArt on Warp Records.

Point Lynas Lighthouse on a dull overcast day.
From Wikipedia, 'This unusual and distinctive lighthouse was designed by Jesse Hartley, engineer to the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board from 1824 to 1860, but with additions by G Lyster some twenty years later.
It is a castellated building comprising a two-storey dwelling surmounted by a square tower 11 metres (36 ft) high. The semicircular lantern is located at the base. The present lantern is 4.6 metres (15 ft) in diameter and dates from about 1874. The lantern has a cast-iron lower wall and rectangular glazing bars take the height to 3.7 metres (12 ft). The lantern is topped by a plain conical roof with a ball finial. The square tower above has a corbelled oriel window of the pilot's look-out.
The unusual arrangement of having the lantern at ground level with the look-out and telegraph room above is similar to the Great Orme Lighthouse, also built by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. The telegraph station was established in 1879, and two new cottages were erected to accommodate extra staff. Point Lynas has now been taken over by Trinity House.
A Chance occulting optic was fitted in the light room in 1878. This is 1.4 metres (4 ft 7 in) in diameter and displays a light through 206 degrees. The fixed part of the optic consists of three sections, the central unit on the focal plane has a 0.25 metres (9.8 in) deep curved lens with bands of six prisms above and below it. The bottom unit is made up of six bands of reflective prisms, while the inclined top unit contains sixteen.
The lamp is 1000W with an intensity of 112,000 candela and is white, occulting every 10 seconds, with a range of: 20 nautical miles (40 km).'
Although it was cold and windy, the beautiful shoreline definitely had downplayed the weather effects.
Centre Point was built as speculative office space by property tycoon Harry Hyams, who had leased the site at £18,500 a year for 150 years. Hyams and Seifert engaged in negotiations with the London County Council over the height of the building, which was much taller than would normally be allowed and was highly controversial; eventually he was allowed to build 32 floors in return for providing a new road junction between St Giles Circus, Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, which the LCC could not afford to build on its own. Hyams intended that the whole building be occupied by a single tenant.
On completion, the building remained empty for many years. With property prices rising and most business tenancies taken for set periods of 10 or 15 years, Hyams could afford to keep it empty and wait for his single tenant at the asking price of £1,250,000; he was challenged to allow tenants to rent single floors but consistently refused. The prominent nature of the building led to it becoming a symbol of greed in the property industry. Some campaigners demanded that the government of Edward Heath should intervene and take over the building, and at one point in June 1972 Peter Walker (then Secretary of State for the Environment) offered £5 million for the building. Eventually Hyams agreed to let the building by floors but the arrangements were stalled.
A more intriguing speculation was that the government was paying Hyams "a heavy but secret subsidy to keep it empty" for its own purposes. Various conspiracy theories circulated about what those purposes might be. One common theme was that since the building was 100% air-conditioned (a rarity in London at that time), and sited over Tottenham Court Road tube station and its deep tube lines, this would somehow make it useful to the government in the event of nuclear war.
Since July 1980, the building has been the headquarters of the Confederation of British Industry. In 1995 Centre Point became a Grade II listed building. Noted architecture critic Nikolaus Pevsner described Centre Point as "coarse in the extreme". In 2009, the building won the Concrete Society's Mature Structures Award.

Needed something to brighten up my mothers day and the late afternoon clouds looked promising so I headed down to Picnic Point to shoot sunset. It wasnt as good as I hoped but I was glad there was some color and clouds.
