The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).

These photos make up a set of photos relating to my mom and dad. There are some real old photos at the start, but they then jump to around 5 years ago, ending not too long ago. My mom passed in 2010, and my dad just a short while ago. We didn't have a lot of candids of my mom from this period, she got sick very suddenly. There are quite a few more of my dad during his last years in Calgary - we were more careful to take better photos. Larry and I took dad on a cruise for his 85th birthday, and that was a great opportunity to capture dad in images. I think this set does portray the last few years with mom and dad.
Memorial relating to
Captain Romuald Nalecz-Tyminski DSC
Commander of the Polish Navy Warship ORP SLAZAK.
ORP Ślązak (Polish for Silesian) was a World War II Hunt-class destroyer. Initially laid down in 1940 for the Royal Navy as HMS Bedale, in 1942 she was commissioned by the Polish Navy.
After World War II, she was leased to the Indian Navy in 1953, where she served as a training ship until 1976. She was scrapped in 1979.
At Dieppe she saved 85 soldiers of the Royal Regiment of Canada, trapped at the beach after landing
A skilled and accomplished seaman, Nalecz-Tyminski worked his way up the ranks during his life on the seas, commanding numerous warships on dramatic danger-filled missions.
“Nobody did more than he did to get the Canadians out”, said Joe Ryan, a veteran of the Royal Regiment of Canada who fought at Dieppe, France.
Ryan said he can still remember watching the destroyer heading straight towards the beach firing all of its guns at the enemy, before turning abruptly, churning up mud and rocks from beneath the water and rescuing the Canadians as they evacuated the landing beaches as the raid had failed to achieve its objectives.
For his role in the rescue Nalecz-Tyminski was awarded Britain’s Distinguished Service Cross.
Curator Chella Vaidyanathan presented highlights from recently acquired collections of materials relating to Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson.

This relates to my theme of gender equality because both girls and boys are provided the same food and drinks at games. For example at both genders meets or games there is water available and food you can buy.
Part of a set / album of images relating to an Apple Maps Look Around Street View pedestrian photographer with image harvesting backpack tech. I photographed him a few years ago. The Apple Look Around (Google Street View equivalent) images were exclusive to their iPhone Map App, but are now available on the web, indirectly via duckduckgo.com/ maps for example. And so now I can see myself! My camera phone was a distinctive yellow Poco phone back at 12:09 p.m. on 12th May 2022. My blue tobacco tin is just visible. The park is at a mere 10 metres above sea level, first to go when global warming arrives..!
Although this photo relates to World War Two the story of the V2 is mentioned on a World War One guided walk.
I went on a fascinating but also a very sad guided walk around Tooting to hear more about the 182 names on the local war memorial of the men killed in World War One. Here's the website that will give you a lot more info if you want to go on the walk too or just read more about the men. summerstown182.wordpress.com/

Words cannot relate how elated I am to have finally obtained this critical piece to my "Philip II, Alexander the Great, and the Era of the Diadochi" collection. It's a siglos from Kalchedon, issued between 340 to 320 BCE. Let me now explain the amazing fit this coin has for that collection.
Kalchedon sits across the bay from Byzantion, which was besieged along with Perinthos by Philip II around 340 BCE. While Kalchedon likely supported its sister city, it was never directly besieged or confronted by Philip.
The city's next chance of fame was with the arrival of Alexander the Great, who chose a more southerly route over the Hellespont and avoided the region entirely. During this momentous period, no major battles were fought at Kalchedon, though an important one was fought in neighboring Byzantion.
So critical was Kalchedon's contribution to this era's history that Arrian never mentions it. Quintus Curtius Rufus gives it similar mention and Diodotus Siculus, who's narrative spans the entire period from Philip II through the Diadochi, also found no interesting story there.
Given the city's importance, you may wonder why I had to add this coin. Well, it took me four attempts to actually acquire one. During the first attempt, I researched the history and, finding nothing of interest, added a note that a coin from Kalchedon must not be purchased due to no strong tie to the story. When another interesting copy showed up at auction, I reviewed my note and failed to bid.
On the third attempt, I found a copy with the city name well-centered and added it to my watch list. When the bids ascended, I checked my notes to verify how crucial it was and, upon reading them, neglected to bid. However, on my fourth attempt I was successful! The coin appeared at an online store with a great price, well-centered name, and a reputation for selling quickly. I immediately placed the order and got the coin!
Even though I'd now read my notes and realized the mistake, I couldn't wait to receive it after having fended off every attempt to prevent myself from buying one. Finally the package arrived and I tore it open, then remarked how close it looked to its sister city Byzantion. However, on closer look I found it was a coin of Byzantion. I'd accidentally received the wrong coin.
The seller was quick to rectify the mistake, and I soon had the correct coin. It now occupies a vaunted place in my collection from this turbulent period.
Local legend relates that when the Vietnamese fought invading Chinese armies, the gods sent a family of dragons to help defend the land. That family of dragons began spitting out jewels and jade. Those jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders. The people kept their land safe and formed what later became the country of Vietnam. After that, dragons decided to live in Ha Long Bay. The place where Mother Dragon flew down became Hạ Long, the place where the dragon children attended upon their mother received the name Bái Tử Long island (Bái: attend upon; Tử: children; Long: dragon), and the place where the dragon children wriggled their tails violently became known as Bạch Long Vỹ island (Bạch: white- color of the foam made when Children Dragon wriggle; Long: dragon, Vỹ: tail).
This image relates to wildness because a shell is one of the many wild things that can be found in the deep waters all around the earth. It defines the concept of "wildness" because it is unconventional and admired by many. Methods Used:I molded some purple and white clay to form the shape of a sea shell, then I placed a real pearl inside and set it down on the shore at the beach, surrounded it by a crab shell and a real sea shell. I had my camera on Manual mode and I set it to ISO 800, no flash, Cloudy White Balance, and 1/1600 shutter speed. This model was 2 inches long and 2.5 inches wide.
#SundayNightMapNerdTime I like good six word stories. They tell you a lot with so little. As a cartographer, I can relate to that. Maps are synopic designs, meaning they're to be interpreted as a whole. Problem is, we've only got about eight seconds (+/- whatever) to either 1) grab your attention and make you stick around longer or 2) get main message across. A good map does both of these things. Customers sometimes laugh when I tell them that maps tell stories. No, they do, sometimes literally. This map tells a story -- an alternate history of North America -- that was created by one alteration of our historical timeline back in the mid-19th Century, playing forward until today. Does this map, then, tell a story? If it does, consider yourself a co-writer, because all of us fill will in the details of that timeline a little differently. #map #cartography #mapping #althistory via Instagram ift.tt/2J5L4xS
"relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces and energy associated therewith"
A creative outing with my photo club - Inland Empire Photo Club - where we played with light and motion and long exposures to create kinetic art. It was a wonderful, creative evening.
Gretchen Bender, Born Seaford, DE 1951-
died New York City 2004
TV Text & Image (DREAM NATION), 1989, live television broadcast on a monitor with vinyl lettering, dimensions variable,
How does today's news relate--or not--to your idea of a "dream nation"?
Unlike most screens in an art gallery, this monitor is not showing prerecorded, artist-made imagery. Instead, the artist intervenes in regular broadcast television by printing DREAM NATION on the surface of the screen. Gretchen Bender's work invites you to contrast your current take on these words with what is on TV at this very moment. When displayed in the nation's capital of Washington, DC, it can also feel site-specific, invoking this country's dreams and dreamers.
Bender was part of a generation of artists, including Barbara Kruger (whose work is on view nearby), who responded to the rising power of mass media. Using what she described as "guerilla tactics . . . to make some kind of break or glitch in the media," Bender took on television to make the "underlying patterns of social control" visible.

"Women, queer artists, and artists of color have finally become the protagonists of recent American art history rather than its supporting characters. This is the lesson to be learned from the programming at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art since it reopened in 2015, and it is now the big takeaway in the nation’s capital, at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, whose contemporary art galleries have reopened after a two-year closure.
During that time, architect Annabelle Selldorf refurbished these galleries, which have the challenge of pushing art history’s limits without going too far. Her interventions in these spaces are fairly inoffensive. Mainly, she’s pared down some of the structural clutter, removing some walls that once broke up a long, marble-floored hallway. To the naked eye, the galleries are only slightly different.
What is contained within, however, has shifted more noticeably—and is likely to influence other museums endeavoring to diversify their galleries. For one thing, I have never encountered a permanent collection hang with more Latinx and Native American artists, who, until very recently, were severely under-represented in US museums. That unto itself is notable.
It is a joy to see, presiding over one tall gallery, three gigantic beaded tunics courtesy of Jeffrey Gibson, a Choctaw artist who will represent the US at the next Venice Biennale. Printed with bombastic patterning and hung on tipi poles, they hang over viewers’ heads and allude to the Ghost Shirts used by members of the Sioux to reach ancestral spirits. One says on it “WITHOUT YOU I’M NOTHING.” That statement can also be seen as a confession on behalf of SAAM’s curators to the artists now included in this rehang: a multiplicity of perspectives is more nourishing than having just one.
Something similar can be seen in Judith F. Baca’s Las Tres Marías (1976). The installation features a drawing of a shy-looking chola on one side and an image of Baca as a tough-as-nails Pachuca on the other. These are both Chicana personae—the former from the ’70s, the latter from the ’40s—and the third component, a long looking glass, sutures the viewer into the piece. It’s no surprise this piece is shaped like a folding mirror, an item used to examine how one may present to the outside world. Baca suggests that a single reflection isn’t enough. To truly understand one’s self, many are needed.
It is hardly as though the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection ever lacked diversity. Nam June Paik’s Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii (2002), a video installation featuring a map of the country with each state’s borders containing TV monitors, is a crown jewel of the collection. It has returned once more, where it now faces a 2020 Tiffany Chung piece showing a United States strung with thread. So, too, has Alma Thomas’s magnum opus, Red Azaleas Singing and Dancing Rock and Roll Music (1976), a three-part stunner showing an array of petal-like red swatches drifting across white space.
But the usual heroes of 20th century art history are notably absent. Partly, that is because the Smithsonian American Art Museum doesn’t own notable works by canonical figures like Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg. (For those artists, you’d have to head to the National Gallery of Art.) Yet it is also partly because the curators want to destabilize the accepted lineage of postwar American art, shaking things up a bit and seeing where they land.
There is, of course, the expected Abstract Expressionism gallery, and while works by Willem de Kooning and Clyfford Still are present, those two are made to share space with artists whose contributions are still being properly accounted for. The standouts here are a prismatic painting by Ojibwe artist George Morrison and a piquant hanging orb, formed from knotted steel wire, by Claire Falkenstein.
This being the nation’s capital, there is also an entire space devoted to the Washington Color School. Come for Morris Louis’s 20-foot-long Beta Upsilon (1960), on view for the first time in 30 years, now minus the pencil marks left on its vast white center by a troublemaking visitor a long time ago. Stay for Mary Pinchot Meyer’s Half Light (1964), a painting that features a circle divided into colored quadrants, one of which has two mysterious dots near one edge.
From there, the sense of chronology begins to blur. The Baca piece appears in a gallery that loosely takes stock of feminist art of the 1970s; a clear picture of the movement’s aims fails to emerge because the various artists’ goals appear so disparate. It’s followed by an even vaguer gallery whose stated focus is “Multiculturalism and Art” during the ’70s and ’80s. Beyond the fact that all five artists included are not white, the gallery doesn’t have much of a binding thesis.
This partial view of recent art history leads to gaps, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It’s a good thing because it offers due recognition for art-historical nonpareils. Audrey Flack is represented by Queen (1976), a Photorealist painting showing a view of a sliced orange, a rose, photographs, a playing card, and trinkets blown up to a towering size. It’s both gaudy and glorious. Hats off to the curators for letting it shine.
Then there are two totem-like sculptures by the late Truman Lowe, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, that are allowed to command a tall space of their own. They feature sticks of peeled willow that zigzag through boxy lumber structures, and they refuse to enjoin themselves to any artistic trend. Later on, there are three deliciously odd paintings by Howard Finster, of Talking Heads album cover fame. One shows Jesus descended to a mountain range strewn with people and cars who scale the peaks. Try cramming that into the confines of an accepted art movement.
That’s just three lesser-knowns who make an impact—there are many others on hand, from Ching Ho Cheng to Ken Ohara. And yet, herein lies this hang’s big problem: its gaping omissions in between them all, which are likely to be visible not just to the literati of the art world but to the general public, too.
Despite the focus of these new galleries being the 1940s to now, Pop, Minimalism, Conceptualism, and their resultant offshoots are skipped over entirely as the curators rush through the postwar era in order to get closer to the present. The Paik installation aside, there is almost no video art in this hang (although there is a newly formed space for moving-image work where a Carrie Mae Weems installation can be found), and no digital art or performance documentation at all, which is a shame, given that the museum owns important works by the likes of Cory Arcangel and Ana Mendieta, respectively. The AIDS crisis of the 1980s and ’90s and its devastating impact on the art world isn’t mentioned a single time in the wall text for these new galleries, and queer art more broadly is a blind spot.
Protest art periodically makes the cut, but any invocation of racism, misogyny, colonialism, and the like is typically abstracted or aestheticized. That all makes a work like Frank Romero’s Death of Rubén Salazar (1986) stand out. The painting depicts the 1970 killing of a Los Angeles Times reporter in a café during an unrelated incident amid a Chicano-led protest against the high number of Latino deaths in the Vietnam War. With its vibrant explosions of tear gas (Salazar was killed when a tear gas canister shot by the LA Sheriff Department struck his head) and its intense brushwork, it is as direct as can be—a history painting for our times. So, too, in a much different way, is Consuelo Jimenez Underwood’s Run, Jane, Run! (2004), a piece that ports over the “Immigrant Crossing” sign, first installed near the US-Mexico border in Southern California in the 1990s, and remakes it as a yellow tapestry that is threaded with barbed wire.
In general, this presentation could use more art like Romero and Jimenez Underwood’s. Yet the curators at least cop to the fact they’re seeking to hold handsome craftmanship and ugly historical events in tension, and the methods on display are productive in that regard.
By way of example, there’s Firelei Báez 2022 painting Untitled (Première Carte Pour L’Introduction A L’Histoire De Monde), which features a spray of red-orange paint blooming across a page from an 18th-century atlas documenting Europe’s colonies. One could say Báez’s blast of color recalls the bloodshed of manifest destiny, but that seems like an unfair interpretation for a work that provides so much visual pleasure. Rather than re-presenting the violence of a bygone era, Báez beautifies it. The result allows history to begin anew—on Báez’s own terms."

This photo relates to Bravo’s use of black and white and really provokes an emotion in the student sitting in the desk alone. It creates a sense of loneliness. If you want to imagine this as a story, the story would most likely say the kid got in trouble by the teacher and is now sad. He feels bad for what he did. He’s looking down and is all by himself. You kind of feel bad for him. He may even be crying, but that is for you to interpret. Everyone can see this photo in their own way and depict their own feelings from it.

The School of Tagaste, relates to his Confessions, probably his best-known work, written between 397 and 401.
The picture shows him starting school at the elementary school of Tagaste. The teacher walking towards the young Augustine is greeting him by gently caressing his face.
Within the family group his mother, St Monica, is highlighted by means of a golden halo which obeys the laws of perspective.
In the simultaneous scene on the right the teacher is punishing a pupil while the little Augustine is attentively studying a school slate with Greek letters on it.
From the scale of the buildings and figures it can be seen how far the pictorial space extends backwards. In this way Benozzo creates a counterweight to the arrangement of the figures parallel to the picture in the foreground.
Particularly characteristic of this cycle is the city view with buildings in the style of the Early Renaissance, including depictions of some that really exist.
The inscription tells us that Augustine made considerable advances within a short space of time in the Latin school of Tagaste, and emphasizes the Latin element that dominated his education
