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.......

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

Democracy for Scotland: The Referendum Experience was launched at the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum on 27th April, 2012.
The exhibition was formally opened by MSP Linda Fabiani and the launch was attended by many of the interviewees who contributed their recollections of the 1979 and 1997 devolution campaigns to the Devolution Referendums Oral History Collection at the Scottish Political Archive
Democracy for Scotland focuses on the campaign for a Scottish Parliament in the second half of the twentieth century. In particular it chronicles the history behind the two devolution referendums of 1979 and 1997 and explores the nature of the Yes and No campaigns for both referendums, their results and the re-establishment of a Scottish Parliament.
The exhibition draws largely on the collections of the Scottish Political Archive (SPA). SPA is based at the University of Stirling and is dedicated to collecting oral and other material relating to the political history of Scotland in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The exhibition features referendum campaign materials including leaflets, pamphlets, posters and badges deriving from all the major political parties and umbrella groups. It also offers visitors the opportunity to hear the voices of politicians and campaigners discussing their experiences of the referendums of ’79 and ‘97, the intervening period and the establishment of a Scottish Parliament.

- 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 días 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 compañía 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.
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.

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.

"When I was young and full of life..
my medium was evening light."
When I was a kid, we didn't have that many round stairways.
Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing any.
But I should have seen them coming.
The building I lived in, had a square stairway with a ten stair run and then they make a 90 degree left-hand turn and up, and then they repeat again. Right-hand if you were going down, all depending if you were coming home or going out to a movie or such.
Eventually, some wise-guy was bound to say: Hey! let's cut out the corners.
His name could have been Alfred. Or Fred, for short.
I don't see him as being a Sidney or a Cecil - it takes a man of vision.
The whole crew would sit down and have a brain-storming session, whereupon they would get into that non-linear thinking stuff. Which I could never figure out. I had tried non-linear once when I had run out of gas. Out on the Prairies.
Didn't work for me.

I have no recollection of taking this photograph, here resurrected from its negative. It is many months since I scanned it, but I think this frame occurred among others exposed at Chesterfield, possibly on Tuesday 16th August 1977. The registration mark of the Beetle on the pavement looks like RB, issued by Nottingham.
It's an anonymous little back street, but I was always drawn to such places. I had a partiality for streets where the pavements and kerbs had been shattered and buckled like this. I would conjecture that there were commercial premises further along the street and the damage had been perpetrated by lorries. On the opposite side the pavement has been so utterly flattened that it has merged with the road surface. It is now an article of faith among planners that residential and industrial "land use" must be separated. Well, (yawn), yes I suppose so, but, like all forms of efficiency, it is inimical to the interest and variety of our surroundings. Ever the obscurantist crackpot I have throughout life been hostile to efficiency and am willing to endure its opposite if there is an aesthetic payoff. Many things are more efficient than they used to be (remember "allow 28 days for delivery"?), but it's an efficiency with a profit motive, producing another, additional kind of squalor.
A late version of the subject treated twice in his Italian years. The scene is restricted to the main group, which follows almost exactly that of the original design of some forty years back, which in its turn used a Michelangelo design. A greater expressive force is attained by this concentration in the one group, and is infinitely enhanced by the vitality of the colour and handling. The disturbing effect of the empty space on the right of his earlier versions, and of the recessional perspective of the tiled pavement and the vista through the arch has been eliminated. The three-dimensional character of the figures and space is not described: the event alone is expressed, and creates its own space. The composition includes, on the right-hand side, a woman carrying a basket on her head and gesturing with her hand. Her identity and significance have not been satisfactorily explained.
The episodal type of subject is unusual for El Greco in Spain - he does not repeat the Christ healing the Blind, the possible sequel to this event. The subject was, of course, of special relevance to the age of the Counter-Reformation. In any event, El Greco has raised it above the merely dogmatic or episodal. The Venetian motif of the reclining female figure of the early versions has been substituted by the male figure bending down, which may be a recollection from Raphael's tapestry cartoon of the Miraculous Draught of Fishes. The reliefs to the left and right of the arch represent the Expulsion from Paradise, an Old Testament parallel of the Expulsion from the Temple, and the Sacrifice of Isaac, less easily connected with the subject. In this late version, El Greco has introduced the overthrown 'tables of the moneylenders and the seats of those who sold doves' (St Matthew XXI, 12).
A number of late versions exist, of which the National Gallery painting is the finest example. The splendid small version in the Frick Collection, New York, is probably the study for the larger painting.
Rambling Recollections is the two-part autobiographical account of his life written by Sir Henry Drummond Wolff and published shortly before his death.
Looking back on turbulence, we see patterns in the traces that it leaves, and imagine a kind of logic, or let's tell it like it is, a history with some element of inevitability. Of course we are wrong, and the grunts in Vietnam were correct: shit happens.
This applies equally to our human story - at any scale - and to patterns in the sand.
Recollections from Margaret Madden
I was born in Formby Village in 1942 and lived at 32 Chapel Lane for 21 years.
My grandfather John Kershaw bought the property about 1909. He was a cabinet maker/funeral director and sold second hand furniture. His son and my father, Charlie Kershaw, carried on the business. We lived above and behind the shops. I remember the shop on the right was our furniture shop filled with furniture and house clearances and the shop on the left was leased to Ewings a baker and confectioners.
At the side of the house was a very wide passage with a glass roof, this was also full of furniture. At the back of the property was a large garden, greenhouse, lawn, apple trees and beautiful arch covered roses, together with three workshops, at the bottom of the garden was the Conservative Club Bowling Green. My father often displayed the furniture on the pavement outside the shop.
He delivered the furniture on a handcart with me sitting on the top, when I was older aged about 9 or 10 I helped him push the cart. Sometime in the 1950's he leased out the furniture shop and it became a Fresh Fish shop, while still selling furniture from the back. I remember often going to McSymons, next door, to get a penny bag of broken biscuits (no packets of biscuits then ). I also remember the Tudor Toy Shop having a most beautiful window display of toys at Christmas, all kinds of dolls sitting on swings etc. And that year I was so lucky to get one for Christmas.
