This was inspired by the wickedly sarcastic "despair" series ( www.despair.com ) which is, itself, inspired by the famous Motivation posters.
(NOW AVAILABLE AS A CALENDAR!!)

Okay, before anyone freaks out, please don’t judge me too hard.
This dolly abomination absolutely saved my grade and my sanity.
Back in 200? (2007-2008?) I was pursuing a bachaelors degree in art at a local university. I was in an upper division Art History class with a professor notorious for high expectations and harsh grading. Like any other “400 level” class there was a very large research paper project that was going to be a major part of our grade in the class. Something like a thirty page research paper.
Now at the time my personal life was rocky, I was close to graduating but gradually taking fewer and fewer classes, and I was working more full-time hours at my retail job. (Burnout. In hindsight I was burning out.)
I didn’t realize I was burning out but I knew, I just KNEW that I didn’t have thirty pages of words inside of me to put on a page. Even though I really enjoyed the class and love the topic: History of Surrealism, I knew I didn’t have thirty pages in me so I had to come up with a creative solution. I needed a muse.
In lieu of writing a thirty page paper, I created this Portable Muse.
I turned in this Muse (and a hand bound book of surrealist art games we had learned about in the class. I had recreated the games and wrote little explanations of them.) I got a really good grade and passed the class.
(I did end up dropping out of school for real and never finished my degree. Oops.)
The muse herself is a Britney Spears head on a Ocean Toys Pamela Love torso mounted on an imitation squirrel paintbrush. She comes in her own labeled tin (a repurposed Surf Benders tin.)
(I have the original head for this torso and had been looking for poor Pamela’s body for a while… then I remembered what I had done to her and found this old Portable Muse in my studio.)
Some days you just need a hug and some of those days you have to improvise with whatever works. Cheers to warm blankets and horror flicks to get us through.

A large number of such mobile shops are in business in Dhaka city. They specialize in selling products to housewives in desperate need of vegetables for cooking,
These shop owners pull their cart from door to door and advertise with bare yet loud screams.
Make an easy to build portable softbox
- cut a backing frame from a 1/2 gallon plastic milk jug
- shape the plastic to fit the rear of your flash, like a bounce card, narrow at the bottom and more flared out at the top
- line the front of the plastic with a reflective material. I used the shiny mylar material from a package of Nabisco oatmeal cookies. I attached the mylar using double-sided tape.
- tape down the edges of the mylar to the plastic using gaffers tape
- Attach the reflector to flash using rubber bands
- make a "flip down" diffuser using simple tissue paper or other diffusing material
The flash and portable softbox can be used on-camera or off-camera, One Light Strobist style.

Pine Hill is located near Rescue, California, in El Dorado County. This was the first Summits-On-The-Air (SOTA) activation in which I operated HF in single-sideband (SSB) mode, as opposed to VHF FM. I logged contacts with stations in Georgia and eastern Kansas, much to my pleasant surprise.
The antenna I used is a Yaesu ATAS-25 ("Active Tuning Antenna System”), a lightweight vertical antenna system designed for the bands between 40 meters and 70 centimeters (roughly 7 MHz and 440 MHz, respectively). It breaks down into a very small package and mounts on a camera tripod; the tripod shown is lightweight and folds down very compactly.
Here, the antenna is shown set up for the long-distance bands (40 meters, 20 meters [14 MHz]), with all three radiating elements on top. This is the configuration that bagged me the contacts over 2,020 and 1,390 miles away, respectively, far beyond the mountains at right!
I don't actively collect typewriters, but I get them when they are a good deal. They are fun to work on and type on.
These are my portables. The big boys are just to heavy for me to lug out and take shots of..lol

Here I am making music on da lawn. A laptop installed with Ableton Live, a Midi Keyboard and a good set of headphones and it's amazing what you can do! I tend to work on music with this type of set up and then do more edits later with studio speakers.
An early example Ca.1900, mainly used by contractors travelling from farm to farm hauled by a team of horses. Used for threshing, sawing etc. Not sure of the manufacturer of this example, maybe by Garretts of Leiston, being captured in a Suffolk farmyard.
This Macintosh Portable was purchased from Aldus as part of an obsolete equipment sale back in 1994. It is a non-backlit model that boots into System 6. The lead acid battery has long since passed it’s prime and is a good candidate for a refurbish.
