When Schuyler moved from Sebastopol I had a big house, a workshop, and a borderline hoarding disorder.
He had a smaller space, but had acquired a fair amount of interesting stuff, and he was going to somewhat transient lodgings doing urban reclamation of the abandoned Lime Kiln (town hall?).
So we compromised, he threw away, or gave away, stuff, packed other stuff, and left some stuff for me.
Including two Industrial Rolls of Velcro with a tape backing. One roll of hooks, one of loops.
I loved that velcro. I cable tied the two spools together so I would not have the obviously wrong condition of having hooks with no eyes to poke, and hung them in my workshop, and I used them a fair amount.
But periodically they would fall apart, and make big long tangled ropes of velcro and surounding materials, and I would patiently untangle them, and use more.
I have bits of it stuck in my van, which matches the velcro on the bottom of my first GPS. The GPS has long stopped working, but the velcro is still there.
I have strips of the eyes on my camera strobes, with matching strips of eyes on the light correcting gells, so I can hold them in place.
My biggest use was to put them back to back to make cable holders adjustable straps.
The problem with that is that I am a little OCD, so holding the two strips, aligning them, peeling off two sets of backings, and then aligning the two sticky pieces 'perfectly' was always hard.
Today I pulled out the last of the original spool. I have unused pieces still here and there, but this was the last hurrah of the era of unlimited velcro.
And it was also the day I discovered how to attatch sticky to sticky about 20 times faster than before.
Stick the first few inches together in the traditional way, then step on the end, hold one side in each hand between two fingers and use other fingers to hold the backing. Pull the backing up and align the edges all in one step, using the magic of the 'foot' as the third hand...
I guess this is the same as making rope, or lanyards, where you anchor one end.
It just occurs to me that I didn't need to take the backing off of both sides. For my cable/gear wrap applications I always wrapped the velcro around something. I could have removed the backing from one side, and then if I ever wanted I could seperate them and have 1 lo0se, but tape covered length of one side, and one length which could be taped to objects.
I could alternate , having one cable wrap with the hooks still covered with backing, then one wrap with the eyes still covered.
Maybe I need to buy more velcro!

one of the first photos with my new Polaroid 100 back and also my first time using this film. my photos kept coming out underexposed for some reason and after making the 3hr trek out to the location i ended up having to rush home soon after so that koalas wouldn't eat me once it got dark. D:
the dirtiness of the photo is the result of my rushing and not giving the photo enough time to dry before sticking it in my bag.... opps.
also this photo was converted to black & white and then split-toned in Lightroom. the original photo came out so dark that this is pretty much EXACTLY what it looked like anyway lol....

This week we had to take a portrait of ourselves. At first I had no idea what to do so I asked my friends, teachers, and parents what they thought. Some responded with something unique, and black and white. And some said that my personality is serious, calm, and humorous.
I was thinking about doing the photo in black and white which a lot of people wanted me to do, but I don’t like to think of my life as colorless. In this photo, I decided to just take the photo in the clothes I already had on and to not dress up because I usually don’t wear makeup and a dress. I performed my "serious" face to show my serious side because a lot of people defined me as serious. I have earphones on because I absolutely love listening to music. The background contains photos from volleyball, friends, family, and vacations because my past and what iv’e been through shapes and defines who I am right now. The photos also show that I love taking photos and that photography is one of my favorite classes.
Wisdom and Spirit of the universe!
Thou Soul, that art the Eternity of thought!
And giv'st to forms and images a breath
And everlasting motion! not in vain,
By day or star-light, thus from my first dawn
Of childhood didst thou intertwine for me
The passions that build up our human soul;
Not with the mean and vulgar works of Man;
But with high objects, with enduring things,
With life and nature; purifying thus
The elements of feeling and of thought,
And sanctifying by such discipline
Both pain and fear,—until we recognise
A grandeur in the beatings of the heart.
From Influence of Natural Objects in Calling Forth and Strengthening the Imagination in Boyhood and Early Youth by William Wordsworth (1770-1850)
A timeless scene, looking out over the River Swale and Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire. I spent many happy years in my boyhood and early youth playing here by the river. It looks the same as it ever did and certainly influenced my imagination :-)

Last November 26, 2016 the Junior High School students had their recollection activity. The purpose of a recollection activity is to refresh and revitalize the mind and soul of the students for them to be once again in tune and further deepen with their relationship with God. This is achieved through relatable lectures and thought provoking activities that help the students reflect and contemplate on how they are making and breaking the teachings of Jesus in their lives and how they can bring that love back to their families. The activity ends with a confession and a thanks giving mass.

FULL CIRCLE
For my entry into the Lulubell Toys (Re)collections show, I created a triptych recreating my first experiment from 1979 where I attempted to make a mold of a Greedo figure out of a bar of soap and cast it in green crayon. I contrasted that experiment by displaying the molds and figure of my Green Man Syndrome release. A bootleg Greedo figure I made over thirty years after that first try as a child.
The show is Saturday, June 5th
from 6-9PM

Portobello Road, across from the Spanish School. This large mural, called "Portobello ReCollection," by artist Natasha Mason and photographer Teresa Crawley, is made up of replicas of albums that have a connection to the local area of Notting Hill/Ladbroke Grove.

She chokes back the tears that form in eyes, as recollections materialize and she thinks of how her life might have turned out. A road she walks alone these days, progress halted by the maze of twisting avenues that scream and shout.
Memories tease and haunt her so, she wants to stay but has to go, her world has not turned out the way she planned.
And she can run and she can hide from all the fear she holds inside, but she'll never lose the truth within her soul. She believes in right and wrong, of the melodies and songs that remind her of her youth and all her goals.
She counts the lovers in her past, resurrecting dreams that didn't last and she wipes the water pooling in her eyes. At which point did the world fall down, now her smile has turned into a frown, did the darkness of reality surprise?
Memories tease and haunt her so, so little learned so much to know, and now regret it cuts her like a knife.
Well she can run and she can hide from all the pain she feels inside, but she'll never lose the love within her heart. She believes in right from wrong, of those melodies and songs that remind her of a fresh start.
And in the mirror she's reminded.......

- Si, hola ¿Estas? llamo el hombre a la puerta.
- Pasa. Contesto ella.
- Dame un cigarrillo y hablemos.
- Los cigarrillos se extinguieron a la par de mi noción.
- ¡Estas loca, Terminaste con todos los cigarrillos de la semana!
- Si, ¿Y qué?
- Si sigues asi moriras mucho antes de lo que te corresponde.
-¿Morir? ¿Que sarta tonteria es eso?
- Lo que les pasa a las fumadoras compulsivas como tu.
- Ja ja ja. Rió ella en son de burla.
- La muerte, el dormir entre sabanas blancas eternas, el amanecer sin sol, la extinción de una esencia, esa esencia que dejo huella al paso de tu existencia. Cuando pareces estar solo, sin que nadie te recuerde mas que solo dÃas festivos. Explicó él.
- Ja!.lo miro ella mientras sonreia sarcástica y termino: MI ESENCIA APESTA A TABACO, CADA CIGARRILLO ES ANCIEDAD, DE VIVIR, DE MORIR, DE ESCUCHAR TIPOS COMO TU QUE VIVEN EN UNA BOLA DE CRISTAL, LLENOS DE SUCIOS RECUERDOS.
En segundos ella volvió al presente ahumado, con la única compañÃa de un cigarrillo a punto de terminar y unos pocos segundos de vida.

Pittsburgh Recollections was designed by Romare Bearden and was installed in the original Gateway Center subway station in 1984.
When construction began on extending the line in 2009, Gateway Center Station was closed. The mural was disassembled piece-by-piece and re-installed in the new station. It was an expensive project, but at the time the mural was valued at $15 million.
1909 postmarked postcard view of Main Street in Wolcottville, Indiana. This view is looking south. At the top center of this view are a windmill and a church steeple. That steeple probably belongs to the M. E. Church that was located on County Line Road west of Main Street. Near the left edge is a DRUGS sign that is hanging over the street. (See closeup section 1). The last building in the row of four buildings on Main Street is where the F. P. SANDERS & SON HARDWARE store was located as indicated by the sign painted on the front of that building. The utility pole just north of that building has the word DRUGS painted on it (closeup section 2). Was there a drug store next to Sanders' hardware store? The awnings in that block have business information on them, but they are unreadable. At the lower right-hand corner of the view is an awning with HARDWARE printed on it.

There used to be a castle here. Today only the stone walls remain. I remember walking with my mother as a child. I often visit here with my camera. Taken with iPhone4S.
