Born in Victoria, BC, Canada in July of 1965, Warren is a pioneer of highly detailed comic art.
He has adhered to fine art sculpting principles throughout his long career and is considered the most consistently representative comic sculpture in the world.
As a youth in the Fairfield area of Victoria, Warren was encouraged by a number of mentors and teachers to sculpt in the free-standing form, a practice he has never strayed from. One of his funniest memories was when he was a young and impressionable teenager in an advanced sculpting class. Warren was enthusiastic when the teacher said they were going to sculpt a live model one evening. He was not quite prepared as the beautiful woman completely disrobed on the stage in front of the students. Being the shy, youngest member of the class he quickly turned around and sculptured a very long haired woman rising out of a rock at the waist. The model was not pleased with his work but the teacher loved it!
warren stratfordWarren soon began to concern himself with his lifelong objective: portraying the variations of humor and atmosphere brought on by comical things he thinks about. Rather than copy others as was the traditional practice of young artists, Warren learned from people around him, from the landscape itself, and from the works of his older contemporaries. Warren’s representation of humor are based on his observations of people he meets and interviews.
He often shows natural color by breaking it down into its different components as a prism does. Eliminating dull and boring from his palette, Warren rejected entirely the academic approach to comic sculpting.
Warren gIn the Signature Series Warren allows his vision of light to dissolve the real structures of his subjects. To do this he chose simple subjects, making several humorous studies of the same subject at different occupations or activities.
Warren shares his time between Asia and his home town Victoria. Look for more Signature Series as Warren is always finding humor wherever he goes.
Warren’s work is particularly well represented in shops around the world. It is also included in many famous private collections.

Grand Central Terminal is one of America's finest examples of the Beaux-Arts style. The monumental, sober classical vocabulary of the building is enlivened by rich sculptural detail of a Baroque exuberance. Not only in style, but in siting and plan, Grand Central is the quintessence of Beaux-Arts design principals.
Beaux-Arts principles emphasize the expression of a building's function through its design. In discussing Grand Central, Whitney Warren proclaimed "Modern cities have no portals or arches of triumph. The real gateways are the railroad stations."18 The exterior of Grand Central expresses this function, for the facades of the building closely resemble ancient triumphal arches, the gateways to Imperial Roman cities.
The allusion is most direct on the main entrance facade. Above the podium crested by the first story, three, great round-arched windows are enframed by engaged fluted columns upon a high stylobate. These Roman Doric columns visually support the cornice and attic story above. Even the depth of a triumphal arch Is suggested, since the east and west facades of the building are recessed at the corners. The triumphal arches at east and west project forward slightly, reiterating the 42nd Street facade motif on a slightly reduced scale.
The main facade of Grand Central is crowned by the justifiably famous sculptural group created by the French artist Jules Alexis Coutan. The. sculpture, a "tribute to commerce depicts a triumphant Mercury, god of commerce and travel, flanked by a reclining Hercules, the hero famed for physical strength and moral courage, and Minerva, goddess of wisdom and patroness of artists and artisans. The huge group - roughly 50 feet tail - is perfectly scaled to the monumental facade and plays an integral part in the architectural composition, functioning as the dramatic climax to the whole.
Few buildings in New York enjoy a more impressive, setting than does. Grand Central. From Park Avenue, south of Grand Central, one approaches the triumphal facade, enframed by the buildings along the Avenue, and visible from nearly a mile away. The architects, by raising the building on the podium created by the elevated driveways, enhanced Grand Central's visibility and intensified the dramatic focus. Although the site of Grand Central was determined by purely practical considerations, (the location of the railroad trackage), it nevertheless has much in common with the sitings of Beaux-Arts buildings in Paris, which frequently are placed at the termination of the. city's grand boulevards.
Planning and spatial organization, are central to Beaux-Arts theory. The. interiors of Grand Central, designed by the associated firms of Warren & Wetmore and Reed & Stem, are a paradigmatic expression of these concerns, displaying the order and clarity, the amplitude and grandeur which was the goal of the Beaux-Arts approach. The plan of Grand Central, hailed as "a model of coherence and clarity," is symmetrically disposed with a series of axially aligned, major spaces - the Waiting Room and Concourses - connected, by passageways and ramps. These ramps, unlike stairways, enhance the sense of easy progress and transition, and also facilitate-circulation.
On entering Grand Central, one senses the directionalized quality of the plan - a Beaux-Arts concern. Movement forward and gradually downward toward the actual train track platforms is suggested by the axiality of the plan, while lateral ancillary spaces contribute a sense of spatial flow and freedom, harmoniously balancing the dominant forward impetus. In addition, the plan of Grand Central allows not only for ease of circulation within the building itself, but also for easy entrance and exit. The terminal functions as a center of transfer - "a great reciprocating engine for pumping a huge flow of pedestrian traffic. " The noted architectural historian Carroll Meeks has termed this plan "a brilliant design" and continued "no better station of its size has ever been built."
The. interior of Grand Central relies not only on its planning for its impressiveness, but also on what the architectural critic Lewis Mum-ford has characterized as "its major quality.... space - generously and even nobly handled."" Beaux-Arts design attains much of its magnificence through monumental scaling and few interiors better illustrate this principle. At Grand Central, the Associated Architects handled the ancillary spaces monumentally end thus these spaces serve an an appropriate and essential introduction to the Main Concourse, the climax of the entire composition.
The Main Concourse, "breathtakingly grand," and in the opinion of the eminent architectural historian, Henry-Russell Hitchcock, "one of the grandest spaces the early 20th century ever enclosed" has captured the affection and admiration of generations of travelers.
Aside from the fineness of the plan and the grandness of the spaces of Grand Central's Beaux-Arts interiors, the architectural, detailing is of exceptional quality. Ornate, yet boldly scaled In keeping with the monumentality of the overall conception, it demonstrates a sensitive understanding of the use of classically inspired forms. As has been noted earlier, Whitney Warren, who had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts Is very likely -to have been the principal designer of this fine detail, which Is exuberant yet dignified. The rich materials employed, marble and bronze most notably, have been skillfully and painstakingly crafted in the finest Beaux-Aits tradition. All of these elements - plan, space, and detail - combine to create one of America's great Beaux-Arts interiors.
Arriving at Grand Central, many passengers of an earlier time, had just descended from trains such as the Yankee Clipper, the Wolverine, the Empire State Express, and the Twentieth Century limited, names which today evoke the romance and excitement of train, level. That romance and excitement still echo within the Main Concourse, the. Waiting Room and the halls of Grand Central. It is these architecturally and historically significant interiors which the Commission designates an Interior Landmark.
The main entrance to Grand Central is located on 42nd Street, directly under thts viaduct which leads from Park Avenue to the elevated driveways. One first enters a short, segmentally-arched passageway with a ramped floor. Simply, but handsomely detailed, the passageway has segmentally-arched shop windows along its side wails, two fine glass and bronze chandeliers. a sober classical cornice, and most notably, a decorated tympanum above the doors leading in the Waiting Room, This consists of a marble panel adorned with a bronze relief of garlands with a central cad uceus, the- attribute of Mercury. The panel bears the inscription "To all those with head heart, and hand/Toiled in the construction of this monument to the public, service/This is inscribed. Above, is a clockface enframed by paired cornucopias in relief.
This relatively narrow, Iow~ceilinged entry opens onto the vast Waiting Room, precursor of the splendour of the Main Concourse, and in its own right, a room of extraordinary power and beauty. The Waiting Room is a hugs rectangle - 65 feet by 205 feet - divided into five monumental bays, lit by enormous windows and splendid chandeliers. Above a dado of light beige Botticino marble., the walls are faced with simulated Caen stone. This facing, used throughout Grand Central, is a fine example of such "Counterfeiting," a tribute to the craftsmen who so successfully imitated the"fine-grained, high-priced limestone of the Caen quarries in France, Tliis Caen facing is "set" in broad and narrow alternating courses.
The south wall of the Waiting Room contains five large windows, three broad ones, separated by two narrower. All are screened with handsome, heavy brona?grilles, the borders of which contain acanthus foliate panels. Between the windows broad, smooth pilasters project slightly from the wall and arc crowned by simple, leafy capitals. Beneath the windows to each side of the central entry are ornate marble enframed doorways surmounted by triangular pediments containing shells and oak branches, supported by consoles with acanthus leaf reliefs.
The north wall, similar to the south, contains five great windows with bronze grilles, through which one glimpses the Main Concourse. The walls resemble monumental piers, and effect enhanced by the broad pilasters which adorn them. Set into the pilasters are handsome bronze ventilation grilles of a type seen throughout the Terminal. The skilled craftsmanship and the richness of materials which characterize Grand Central as a whole, extend to all such details. Other examples include the bronze, classically ornamented letter boxes, the handsome marble drinking fountains, and the metal train indicator signs at the platform entrances.
The end wall of the Waiting Room are mirror images of one another, with large Caen -faced panels enframed by narrow floral borders, beneath which are the handsome marble entries to the Men's Room (at the wast) and the former Ladies' Room (at the east). Above the doors are clocks surrounded by garland reliefs set upon lintels carried on consoles. The corners of the room are rounded, and each contains a smooth pilaster which conforms to the curve.
The ceiling is richly adorned and painted to resemble bronze. It contains five bays, each with a central. "Caen" panel lavishly enframed with foliate console brackets and classically detailed mouldings. From a central rosette in each bay is suspended an imposing three tiered bronze and gilt-bronze chandelier,
Many of the original mahogany benches are still In place. A few have been removed and one can now clearly see the indentation in the marble paving of the floor where millions of travelers' feet have rested.
Leaving the Waiting Roojq, one descends along a ramp which bisects the south gallery-like section of the Main Concourse. This ramp is flanked by ticket booths, constructed of marble and bronze.
Beyond, is the Main Concourse which Carl Condit has called "the classic- work of interior space in American architecture,This vast chamber, of wall-merited world fame, billows upward to a height of 125 feet, and stretches to a breadth of 120 feet and a length of 375 feet. Although much larger than the Waiting Room, it too is divided into five bays which here attain a rarely equalled grandeur. The Main Concourse is essentially a. great barrel vaulted hall with galleried aisles to the north and south, separated from the main space by monumental piers carrying a strong, imposing bracketed entablature. Within the galleries are huge square-headed windows, while at the east and west ends of the Concourse are three round-arched windows echoing in their arrangement the triumphal arch, ot gates to the city motif of the exterior.
The upper walls and piers of the Concourse are sheathed in simulated Caen stone, while below, at "passenger level" marble predominates, not only because of its richness, but also because of its durability. The ticket windows ranged in two banks along the south wall of the Concourse are constructed of Italian Botticino marble with handsome Doric pilasters enframing each window. All the windows have numbered glass and bronze light fixtures, illuminated only when the window ir- in service. At the center of the vast Tennessee marble floor is a circular information desk., with marble counters enclosing a cylindrical bronze cote which connects this desk with the corresponding structure in the Lower Concourse beneath. The Main Concourse desk is topped by a handsome four-faced, bronze clock.
To arrive by train and enter the Main Concourse of Grand Central Terminal is an appropriate and impressive introduction to America's largest and most cosmopolitan city. The vast scale, the richness and beauty of the architectural detail and materials, and the fine planning of Grand Central's interiors, are considered truly exceptional. Until the construction of the Grand Central complex, no railroad station in the world had so completely fulfilled the needs of the traveler Grand Central, and most especially its interiors, is one of the city's most treasured buildings, valued not only for its beauty, but also for the vitality it imparts to the mid town area. The Terminal is a survivor in an age of planned obsolescence. Its symbolic power as an emblem of Manhattan makes it a landmark in the fullest sense of the word.

After years of political stability and economic progress, Turkey is sliding backwards in reforms and in abiding to democratic principles and the rule of law.
A serious clampdown on media and individual freedoms has started and is likely to continue beyond the general elections in June 2015.
Journalists have been arrested and the authorities are cutting back the freedom of expression and media in Turkey.
As a reaction, a recent resolution by the European Parliament reminded Turkey that a free and pluralistic press is an essential component of any democracy.
Guy Verhofstadt, President of ALDE, and Rebecca Harms, President of Greens/EFA, have invited a number of key Turkish journalists from the major media corporations to address the issue of media freedom in Turkey and the role that the EU could play in that field.

The Epic Seascape! Malibu Sea Caves!
Landscape photography is not only about traveling through space, but it is also about traveling through time. One may return to the same beach time and again throughout the seasons to find a million different universes, changing in an infinitude of manners with each passing wave.
Not only do we voyage outwardly to get the shot, but we travel even further inwardly. While I spend my year trekking along the John Muir Trail, and on through Zion, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, and the Colorado Plateau, my heart always finds its home in these Malibu sea caves, where I have stood in awe during all hours of the day and night.
Included within are a few shots that only I have so far captured, including a miraculous winter solstice sunrise.
Best wishes throughout the coming year!

Information on buildings and architecture
Führungen am Campus WU
University of the Future
Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.
As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.
The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.
WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.
These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.
The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.
Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.
Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.
As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.
Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.
We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.
The Journal asked writers and illustrators to contribute a series based on design icon Dieter Rams’ Ten Principles of Good Design manifesto. Each writer wrote on one of Rams’ principles; each illustrator reacted to a writer’s essay. This is the seventh illustration from the ten-part series.
Joshua Brewer wrote on Rams’ second principle, Good design is useful. Mr Brewer is a San Francisco-based designer and the Director of User Experience at SocialCast. He co-founded 52 Weeks of UX, an educational online weekly centered around usability on the web. The Journal drew inspiration for the Rams series from Mr Brewer’s Week 8 post on Rams’ Principles. Adam Garcia created the above illustration based on Mr Brewer’s essay. Mr Garcia works under the studio name The Pressure. He is a graphic designer at Nike Sportswear and illustrates for local and national publications.

Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
The principles of design:
There is pattern because of the way the books are located and put in a line the way they are. Because the photo has a pattern it makes the eye follow the pattern throughout the whole photo which is emphasis. The books are placed on a book self which makes the photo all tie together which is unity. This photo has movement because it forces your eye to move through the whole photo instead of just in the focused position.
The elements of design:
Vertical lines that explain the whole picture and diagonal lines that fit in with the photo. Negative space would be where there is one book on the shelf and there’s like space all around it, it fits but could’ve tried a different angle. Positive space would be where I focused the camera on the books. Rough texture would be the spine of the book. And smooth texture would be the bottom of the shelf.
Objective 4: Lighting
Type of lighting and why: hard lighting because of the lighting in the library.
Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, resize, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)
Corrections/adjustments made AND/OR techniques applied: I added contrast to the photo to brighten up spots and darken ones that needed I also used exposure. I also used hue and saturation which made the books pop in certain spots.
Objective 6: Critique
Analyse your photograph for strengths and areas for improvement (consider elements and principles of design, lighting, exposure, overall feel, etc.) The way I positioned the photo makes the eye go throughout the photo instead of just where the focused place was. Could have been a little more creative.

Regarding the award-winning physicist Dr. Elliot McGucken at Princeton University, the late John Archibald Wheeler stated, "More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet."
Dr. E would go on to heal the blind with his NSF-funded, award-winning Ph.D. dissertation which also laid down the foundations of Light Time Dimension Theory. Over the years, LTD Theory added foundational *physical* postulates, principles, and equations en route to becoming numerous books, with this one forming the simple, illustrated introduction.

The great thing about the beach is that it presents an entirely different universe from season to season, from day to day, from hour to hour, from second to second, with the ever changing wind, tides, clouds, and sun. A split second with tumbling surf and a sinking sun can make a vast different, resulting in entirely different photographs.

I love voyaging forth into nature to contemplate poetry, physics, the golden ratio, and the Tao te Ching! What's your favorite epic poetry reflecting epic landscapes? I recently finished a book titled Epic Poetry for Epic Landscape Photographers:

Did you know that John Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson all loved epic poetry and poets including Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, and Robert Burns?
I recently finished my fourth book on Light Time Dimension Theory, much of which was inspired by an autumn trip to Zion!

Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.
