"Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question ...
Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"
- Thomas S. Eliot

The Sacredness of Questioning Everything:
Questioning God, religion, offhandedness, passions, media, language, interpretations, history, governments, bureaucracy, future

Lantern glow flickers on fleeting glances—half-seen, half-felt. In the blur of passing strangers, a silent question lingers unanswered.

"The guy who says he can talk to dolphins
Said he was in an aquarium

Who was swimming around and around in his tank
And the whale kept asking him questions ... telepathically
And one of the questions
The whale kept asking was: "do all oceans have walls?.." John Lilly - Laurie Anderson

Almost the answer to the question, "how many men does it take to change a light bulb?"
There was a lot of pointing and talking after this so we still await the answer.
Since the question was raised – there are pretty huge age gaps between all of the children. Only ones close in age are the twins and Morgana (seven years gap) and then later on Nightingale and Wulfric (five years gap).
Despite Wulfric being the younger one of the two, he pretty soon starts to protect his brother in all situations (Pazuzu blames this on his animalistic instincts due to being partial wolf shapeshifter) and he never gets out of that habit even as adults.
Both are the only child who spend their lives constantly within reach of Pazuzu without any “I need at least a millennia away from my Mom to recover from the trauma she put me through”-hiatus.
Wulfric by becoming a blood hunter and therefore a spy for his mother in the Council (because Pazuzu’s children are not known by everyone) and Nightingale by marrying one of the elven noblemen and succeeding in getting some of the elvish clans onto his mother’s side (because at large the elvish society still blames her – in both forms – for the ruin of the elvish society and the fact that they crumbled their civilization to dust and ruins, reducing them to a life as nomads mostly).
Honestly, these two benefit from the fact that life was still calm, Pazuzu had five other children before them as test subjects and they were kinda raised okayish for Pazuzu’s standards xD
ALSO I DON’T KNOW HOW CLEAR IT IS BUT BASICALLY THEY ARE PLAYING KNIGHT AND PRINCESS – Wulfric is the prince who slayed the evil dragon (Pazuzu) to protect his princess (Nightingale). And okay, Pazuzu might also be drunk and fighting a killer headache but shush. We do not speak of Pazuzu's alcohol habit.
In doll news, we reached those children who have no proper clothes yet so I need to get creative x'D

I started uni today. It was awesome! I love my classes and the atmosphere.
But I also found out Shepard Fairey may be going to jail for lying to the court about trying to get rid of evidence for the Obama hope poster. This is all going to sound very childlike and uninformed coming from me but having to go to jail for lying about using a photo? What a complete waste. He has a family, he inspires so many and does actual good to the world. But instead he's being potentially punished with a 6 month jail sentence. It really makes you wonder what the point of a lot of things is.
These letters are from a art project I did about 2 years ago inspired by Barbara Kruger. They felt about street art-ish so here's my photo for the day.
Wow...this shot is a metaphor for so many images and situations found in my own life. What is the razor wire blocking out? It obviously is a boundary to keep large things out. However, these noxious weeds can pass through easily. These prickly stems are also setting limits which are difficult to pass through and for what purpose? Then again, there is a beauty in these borders that are captured by my lens. Why so enchanting? Are these defined margins challenging me to cross over? Am I willing to experience the pain?
No...I just took a picture and walked away.
The waves of change have finally arrived....

/****************************************************************
“The Search for reason ends at the known; on the immense expanse beyond it only the sense of the ineffable can glide. It alone knows the route to that which is remote from experience and understanding. Neither of them is amphibious: reason cannot go beyond the shore, and the sense of the ineffable is out of place where we measure, where we weigh. We do not leave the shore of the known in search of adventure or suspense or because of the failure of reason to answer our questions. We sail because our mind is like a fantastic seashell, and when applying our ear to its lips we hear a perpetual murmur from the waves beyond the shore. Citizens of two realms, we all must sustain a dual allegiance: we sense the ineffable in one realm, we name and exploit reality in another. Between the two we set up a system of references, but we can never fill the gap. They are as far and as close to each other as time and calendar, as violin and melody, as life and what lies beyond the last breath.”

Le musee se devoile en exposant sa collection permanente.
Chacune des oeuvres est une porte d'entree sur l'univers d'un artiste ou sur le souvenir d'une exposition. Rassemblees par le MIMA, elles donnent une image de la creation contemporaine, de l'esprit creatif de l'epoque, d'un 'Zeitgeist' du Millenium.
La caverne
Les oeuvres rassemblees au premier etage ont ete produites par des artistes qui n'ont pas exposes ici. Elles ont ete acquises, pour la plupart, avant l'ouverture du MIMA en 2016.
Symboliquement cet etage est baptise la 'caverne' en clin d'oeil a l'allegorie platonicienne critiquant notre connaissance biaisee de la realite. Dans le mythe, des hommes au fond d'une grotte prennent les ombres sur les murs pour la realite. Ces illusions du reel, sont comparables pour le MIMA aux peintures du premier niveau qui vantent une culture filtree par les ecrans et les livres plutot qu'experimentee sur son propre terrain d'exposition.
Le terrain de jeu
Les travaux presentes au deuxieme etage sont comme des jouets laisses par les artistes exposes au MIMA.
A partir de 2016, la collection devient un miroir imparfait du passe ou tous les artistes et toutes les expositions de l'institution n'y figurent pas pour de nombreuses raisons. En pointille se dessine la le portrait societal raconte par l'institution.
Les champs Elisee
Le projet museal du MIMA sera-t-il encore adapte a son epoque apres dix ans d'activite?
Pour y repondre, le musee annonce sa fermeture definitive a la fin de 2026!
En se fixant une deadline a sa propre existence, le musee s'impose une remise en question qui aboutira soit a se reinventer, soit a disparaitre.
L'installation du troisieme etage imagine l'heritage que laisserait le MIMA s'il ferme ses portes en 2027.

That's one of the first shots with a round about 50 years old Minolta Rokkor - PF 58mm/F1:1.4 adapted to a Panasonic Lumix G-70.
The HQ-mount-parts for this DIY-Adapter were "extracted" from vintage Vivitar- and modern Kenko-Extension-Rings that I had in my parphernalia. The ring for the correction of the differnt flange focal distances is a stack of several 3-D-printed parts.
As expected (obviously nothing's never ever easy) the maths to get the right measure for the right distance are not done by subtracting 19,25 mm (MFT-FFD) from 43,5 mm (MC-FFD) because with a spacing of 24,25 mm the lens is to far away from the focal plane to be focused to infinity.
After some fondling around with different shims I found out that right measure is somewhere at 23,6 mm (or so) what would be fine for practical use. But as it's not the "right" value it is a little bit unsatisfactory.
So if somebody out there knows the right measure or has a well working adapter and a caliper to find it out I really would appreciate it to be informed about the exact measure by that person!
(Mail-ordering an adapter and sending it back after stealing the measure would be severely unsportsmanlike.)
;-)
I Would Keep It Clean
A year ago, Eric Raeber started a project where he asked children this question: ”If Earth was the size of a beach ball, what could you do to save our planet?” The children came up with incredibly creative ideas on how to improve the health of our planet, and together with Eric, they illustrated their visions with wonderful images.
Eric has challenged friends at G+ and FB to show us in a photo or a video how they would save our planet if it was the size of a beach ball (or any ball). Alternatively, they had the option of making a difference by planting a few trees at bit.ly/2kIf9V0 and help reach the goal of 100,000 trees by Earth Day. Stacy was one of the persons that got the challenge (you can see her image here: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210996065631395&set... ), and Stacy in turn has challenged me.
This is my entry thanks to the challenge from Stacy.
So now, I want to challenge JR McCurdie to show us in a photo or a video how he would save our planet if it was the size of a beach ball (or any ball).
Anyone can make a difference by planting trees at bit.ly/2kIf9V0 and help us reach the goal of 100'000 trees by Earth Day.

The Truths of Our Faith
I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon, so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith[f]:
Christ was revealed in a human body
and vindicated by the Spirit.
He was seen by angels
and announced to the nations.
He was believed in throughout the world
and taken to heaven in glory.
[1 Timothy 3:14-16 NLT]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

Factorie is one of Circuit's many sisters. Being one of the older models, she has little humanoid aspects to her, mainly created for job efficiency. Her task to to travel around different areas of assembly lines and construct things to plan. He long legs give her long strides of travel to go from place to place. She is quick, quiet, and ever rarely questioned others orders.
With time, she became less useful in the eyes of her creators, and was then free to do as she wished. She had a hard time traversing through cities due to her large size, so she opted to live in large fields and travel to rest-stops to recharge. She bumped into a fellow robot named CPU, who had recently lost his body and was looking for a companion to help build a new one. She refused solely because she was unaware as to construct things of her own. With time, the two agreed to work together as partners. CPU would receive a new body while Factorie would experience being creative.
With time she grew to be more confident in herself, started asking more questions and tinkering with designs on her own whim. She started walking upright, taking time to look up at the world instead of having her head down all the time. It's a lot brighter.
A Question Mark butterfly, Polygonia interrogationis, in the Leslie Street garden allotments, Toronto.
The Cosmic Question Mark (NGC 7822) is a nebula located in the constellation Cepheus, which is approximately 2,900 light years away. The nebula is home to one of the hottest stars known. The star is known as BD+66 1673. This star is one of the primary sources illuminating the nebula.
The nebula gets its name because it resembles a question mark in its entirety. I didn’t plan very well and didn’t shoot another couple mosaic panels to capture the entire nebula! The other two panels will be another project in the winter as this was a little bit of a pain to capture.

What would your question be?

Cual seria tu pregunta?

(letra parcial de la cancion "One of Us" poor Joan Osbourne)
While waiting in line at McDonalds for our Mocha Frappas, I noticed the reflection of our car in the back hatch of the Jeep ahead of us. I've taken thousands of photos of cars at car shows and almost all of them have reflections to be dealt with one way or another. But I don't recall ever seeing one upside down like this. Maybe there's a simple explanation but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me how this happens? Or is this just another strange 2020 thing?
1941 Lincoln Raymond Loewy Designed Continental
Coachwork by By Derham
As the show cars inched along in line toward the awards stand I noticed this unusual looking car. What the heck was this, I thought. Glancing at its hubcaps I knew it must be a Lincoln but what kind - what year - what model, I questioned. Now maybe many classic cars aficionados would have the answer but me, being merely a quasi aficionado (if there is such a thing?), had no idea. I walked briskly over the driver/owner to question him. Being quite accommodating the gentleman explained quickly and in my rush to get in position for a shot of this “beast”, I was able to pick up only a few words here and there. I heard “continental”. I heard “Derham", I heard “Studebaker” and I heard "Raymond Loewy" but then I had to scurry back as he began moving forward and I had to get back and try to line up for a shot of the car. I managed to snap off a few shots. Frankly I wasn’t very impressed with its looks……..but have since discovered this car took top honors in its class at Pebble Beach . Don’t know the Concours year it was but just the name “Pebble Beach” denotes prestige.
Over the time these pictures have been residing in my 2023 Geneva Concours d’Elegance folder, I have learned a great deal more about this rare car. From what I understand this car has two “sister cars”, each slightly different in their appearance and equally rare. Much better than I could, the author of the following New York Times article provides the “rundown”.
///////////////////////////////////////////////// ◊ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The first Lincoln Continental, originally designed as Edsel Ford’s personal vehicle, has often been cited as one of the most beautiful cars in the world. Perhaps no other car can boast of a more prestigious design pedigree. It was originally sketched by Bob Gregorie, Ford’s chief stylist (reportedly, in an hour, in response to Mr. Ford’s urgent request for a “vacation car”).
But Raymond Loewy, the famous industrial designer, figured he could improve it. So Loewy had his staff restyle a 1941 model to his specification. When it was finally completed in 1946, a Saturday Evening Post article referred to it as “The Fanciest Thing on Wheels.”
The one-of-a-kind beauty (a similar car created for Loewy’s wife has since disappeared) turned up this weekend on the block at Gooding & Company’s classic car auction here, where it was a real show-stopper. It sold for $451,000 — about three times what a stock Continental of that vintage is generally considered to be worth. The car had been owned by an Asian collector for many years, a Gooding spokesman said. (Loewy died in 1986.) The Loewy Lincoln has seldom been seen in recent years, although it made a star turn last August at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, Calif.
At the time of this car’s makeover, Loewy’s “staff” at the time included a veritable who’s who of automotive design: Virgil Exner, who would in later years design Chrysler’s famed Forward Look cars; Gordon Buehrig, responsible for many noted Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg designs; and Bob Bourke, later head of Studebaker styling. They helped Loewy recraft the Lincoln into a low, long stunner with fenders integrated into the body, a clear plexiglass roof and round opera windows. The conversion work was done by the noted custom coachbuilder, Derham Body Co. of Philadelphia.
Arguably, the Loewy Lincoln’s most over-the-top feature was its 24-carat gold horn ring, instrument bezels and control knobs.
The car also includes a couple of inside jokes, including an “RL” emblem on each side that is encircled by a chrome band. Sharp-eyed industrial design fans may notice the chrome ring comes directly from a Frigidaire refrigerator, which Loewy had also designed.
The one potentially sour note on the entire car is the unusual custom grille. Loewy replaced the original grille of the Lincoln — a lovely chrome “waterfall” design that was perhaps its signature feature — with a styled version of the sometimes-lampooned “bullet nose” found on postwar Studebakers.
Why would Loewy do such a thing? It would not have been too smart for Loewy to be seen driving anything blatantly identifiable as a Ford product at the time. Loewy’s firm, you see, had an exclusive, ironclad contract to design Studebakers.
Now, as they say, you know the rest of the story.

………One final word. The title chosen for this artwork. Frankly I thought the design of this car as odd and this conjured up thoughts of a James Bond movie I saw years ago - Goldfinger and one of Goldfinger's henchmen, "Oddjob". (This is how my brain moves……. ) Then comes the design, or job that Loewy did. Not overly impressive in my estimation but who am I to argue with the judges from Pebble Beach! The the background. It’s a scene from the Austrian Alps but why chosen? Mainly because I didn’t have much choice……and it looks pretty.
Hope ya’all enjoy…………
