Protesta degli inquilini abusivi nelle case popolari in via Gola a Milano, per lo sfratto ricevuto dalle autorità. Il quartiere in zona naviglio, è noto in città per lo spaccio di stupefacenti.

It is the invisible revealed
It is the mundane blown away by awe"

As I gazed quietly at a Tulip in Denmans Garden (no apostrophe, apparently) I found myself tempted by a radical hypothesis: that there is actually only one Tulip; one Immortal Tulip.
Certainly, there used to be many millions of them, dotted all around the world, but I suspect that at some point in the last few decades, they came together in a sort of Tulip Conclave, discussed the possibilities of the future for Tulip-kind, decided that it all looked a bit ‘same old, same old’ and, sticking two fingers up to the material world, they promptly coalesced into a single unified energy-based entity… and moved on.
You can do that, allegedly, the coalescing bit, if there are enough of you having the same idea at the same time.
But how, I hear you ask, can we still see acres of Tulips wherever we look, if that is the case?
Simple, says I: as a courtesy to the millions of Tulip lovers around the world, the Immortal Tulip just rapidly changes its position and appearance a few trillion times every second so that it gives the impression that everything is as it was; sort of like a film at the cinema which runs at only 24 frames per second but gives the appearance of real life, complete with smooth, natural motion. This seemingly frantic activity actually costs the Immortal Tulip almost nothing in terms of energy and time, as it now has direct access to the power network of an entire Universe, and, it still gets to bathe in the admiration of the Bees and other onlookers.
However, given that the Immortal Tulip now lives at the speed of light, and given that it only takes a few billionths of every second to perform all of that jumping around, the real question is, what is it doing the rest of the time?

Icon of speed and beauty in 1. Designed specifically to win the Le Mans 24-hour race, the slippery D-Type was produced by Jaguar Cars Ltd. between 1954 and 1957. Sharing the straight-6 XK engine and many mechanical components with its C-Type predecessor, its structure however was radically different. ... D-Types won Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957, The high point was '57 when they finished 1rst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th.......kindly letting a Ferrari slip in at 5th. And these were all private entries, as Jaguar had ceased factory racing. Amazing car in every mechanical and ascetic way!!
This was my first view, looking up Radical Steps. Flaring sun ...
I used my hand as an improvised lens hood to produce the previous image. But this one has a certain charm, I think.
I thought I'd try something Radical from my collection of Sunflower Photographs from my Garden.
I took these Two Photographs (some time during the summer of 2001) of Sun Flowers that I grew in my Backyard Garden in Pinellas County, Florida. I then Combined and Manipulated them with Photoshop™ to create this Radical Creation !
The Date shown is July 11, 2001, which is the date that the Kodak Lab Scanned my Film.
Disclaimer: These photographs were taken with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm Single Lens Reflex Camera with Color Slide Film, when I was just learning photograph, so they are very soft & grainy. I brought my Film to a Local Pharmacy, and they sent it to a Kodak Lab for Slide development and the generation of a CDROM with all of the Slides from my two Rolls of Slide Film. I then touched up the Photographs from the CDROM for Exposure and Saturation with Photoshop Elements before I added them to my flickr˜ Photostream.
The "Radical Steps" in Kirkby Lonsdale lead down from the churchyard of St Mary's Church down to the banks of the River Lune, near Ruskin's View. The steps were built in 1820 for Dr Francis Pearson, who had a reputation as a political radical, to divert the existing public footpath that ran through his garden! There was a lot of opposition to the building of steps, which thereafter became locally known as the "Radical Steps".
Beading is one of the defining mediums of contemporary Indigenous art on this continent, and this landmark exhibition brings much-needed critical attention to the breadth and impact of this practice.
From early beads made of seeds and shells, to trade beads and computer pixels, Indigenous artists have long used beadwork to tell stories, honour loved ones, and celebrate beauty. As they embrace techniques and knowledge passed from previous generations, today’s Indigenous artists are using beading to address concerns and concepts related to history, decolonization and resistance.
Ranging from wearable art and portraiture, to installation and video, the works in Radical Stitch connect past and present, as they imagine new worlds. With humour, poignant testimony, and political and social commentary, this exciting exhibition examines the contemporary and transformative aspects of beading through the innovative works of artists and the tactile beauty of the medium.
If I am missing anybody's birthday, then let this be a way of saying happy birthday.
Hope you are all having a good time so far this season.
I am going to shoot some photos for my friends aboriginal organisation's christmas dinner today.
I will get paid for this too.
In Edinburgh's Holyrood Park, about 1 mile from Edinburgh Castle, the Radical road runs along the bottom of Salisbury Crags and gives panoramic views of the city and beyond.
This track was given its name after it was paved in the aftermath of the Radical War of 1820, using the labour of unemployed weavers from the west of Scotland at the suggestion of Walter Scott who had actively supported their repression.
I have no idea if they were paid for their labour or used as slaves, its very difficult to find that sort of detailed information about the repression of the working class without wading knee deep through pro-establishment propaganda.
To me, the 'Radical War' and similar 'uprisings' by the working class in England (and elsewhere) are at least as important to remember as those pointless slaughters of the First World War which we seem to be celebrating/commemorating endlessly because we can pretend it was a war between nations rather than a mass slaughter of angry young working class men to prevent them rebelling against their ruling class all over Europe.
There are no poppies for the leaders of working class uprisings who were rounded up and cruelly executed or for those who were slaughtered on the streets by the Hussars or for those who were rounded up and forced to be slaves in the colonies.

Long ago, before the city started to radically change.
2008-ish.
It was around -40c and I remember my tripod latch breaking off while trying to shoot this on film.
