This guy danced around us under the grass and brush for about 20 minutes before he finally came up for a portrait. The light was way too bright, but at least I got some clean images. Weldon Spring Remediation Site, Missouri

I went out with my photo group on Saturday looking for LeConte's sparrows. This location-- a storage site for nuclear waste converted to prairie, of all places-- has been a reliable habitat in the past. However, it has been a sparse year for them, and we didn't find any, but we did find dozens of Savannah sparrows, including this cooperative individual. Weldon Spring Remediation Site, Missouri
I found this ant on the floor in my house – a problem that required immediate remediation as it wasn’t the only one. Before taking the necessary pest control measures, I figured I could utilize one of these ants for a photograph, and set it aside for a class I was teaching that evening. This image was shot live during a virtual workshop in the summer of 2020!
I had a multi-camera setup including my Lumix S1H illustrating the scene and in real-time showcasing how small changes to lighting, subject alignment, focus etc. all could have dramatic impacts on the image. I’d normally shoot an image like this with the S1R, but the video-centric S1H is no slouch for taking stills either. The lens was the Canon MP-E 65mm F/2.8 1x-5x macro lens, a workhorse I have been using for over a decade.
The flower petals were held in place just out of frame by a “third hand tool”, and the droplets were placed with a hypodermic needle. The lighting was simple: a single LED flashlight off on the right side. Once the shot as you see it was established, the ant entered the frame. By moving a small stick near the ant, it would climb the stick and I was able to place it on the water droplets. Plenty of trial and error here, as ants are rarely cooperative actors.
The image of the ant is a single frame, but the entire scene is a focus stack of a few images to increase the depth of field across the flower petals. It could be an advantage to shoot a focus stack series before adding the element of chaos, and sorting it out later.
Is the image perfect? No. I don’t like the middle lower droplet not having a perfect reflection. If the camera was slightly lower, you’d see this improved. The camera was in the perfect position, but alas the petals droop over time, even a short few seconds can make a big difference. Once the ant is in play, you no longer have time for such adjustments.
I like how the droplet connecting the two petals has a slightly warped refraction due to its shape not being spherical, even though I wish the ant was in a slightly more presentable or also interacting with the droplet. I didn’t share this image last year as all available time was being spent on my book – which is now shipping! If you haven’t taken a look at it yet, it’ll show you exactly how to set up images just like this: skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un...
This past Monday and Tuesday I was spending my time out along the coastline in Quebec and New Brunswick following VIA, CN, and the SFG in some of my favorites territory in the northeast. I haven't explored Atlantic Canada too much up to this point outside of that area but I enjoy covering as much as I can before moving on when it comes to foreign lands. After two days of very little sleep and a lot of driving, I made my way home into the sunset and through the following darkness along the desolate highways that bring me back.
Of course, I was looking forward to having a day to relax a little bit. Well that wasn't to be, as my phone dinged with the notifications from a couple of my friends that MEC 507 would be leading CSX L072 the next day. I've shot plenty of Guilford since I got here, mostly the GP40 standard cabs. My personal favorite units in black and orange are the widecabs and up to this point I've only shot 514 which was incredibly faded at the time. Plus, 507 is now the only remaining unit on the active CSX roster that sports Guilford paint. After missing it leading the same job last week, the choice was clear. I was getting up early for another day of railroading. Oh the horror.
The story goes that in 2020 the 507 was due for a dip into fresh Pan Am blue at the Waterville Shops. Apparently, the guys in the shop had recently stumbled upon a shitload of Guilford paint lying around and decided to do a service to the nation. It had been over 15 years since a locomotive wore fresh G colors and one last unit would get the treatment. Unfortunately they removed the cab bell and marker lights, but you take what you're given in this instance. 5 years later, the paint has held up remarkably well. It's pretty neat to shoot a locomotive in Guilford colors that are still saturated in the year 2025.
In this image, 507 leads a pair of CSX C40-8WMs through the ugly city of Bangor, ME in afternoon summer sun. I haven't shot all that many photos this year so I'm trying to make up for it lately by way of rapid fire remediation.
A brownfield remediation in the netherlands. This site was a dump during the war(s) with all kinds of toxics and gases and all of those nasty wartime chemicals. It's on its way back through several remediation technologies to becoming a large park and wetland for habitat.
While on vacation in Primiero last summer I could see the effects of 2 phenomena which hit the forests of the Central-Eastern Italy. Apparently independent, in fact they’re sadly connected by the changing climatic conditions.
One is the devastation brought by an unprecedented storm, later named Vaia, in 2018 - on a very wide region, several thousands of trees have been eradicated and whole forests destroyed.
The other is the incisive action of the spruce bark beetle – a bug that, favored by the last couple of hot and dry years, is attacking many of the weakened trees that survived the Vaia storm, drying them up and thus worsening the already critical status of our forests.
This latter hit hard on the local communities, who were starting remediation programs after Vaia. It’ll take further efforts to find sustainable solutions, since many aspects in their daily life are influenced by the state of health of their forests.
3489’ elevation
Santa Cruz Mountains
The fourth highest peak of this range has a long and complicated history with a happy ending. The mountain was sacred to the Amah Mutsun tribe from when Umunhum (Anna’s Hummingbird) first brought fire to the People in the sparkle of his gorget. Fast forward to the 1950s. The US Air Force built a large base on the mountain around the Cube, an 85’ tall concrete structure that was part of the early warning radar array on the West Coast. The Cold War ends, the base is abandoned, and the Air Force sells the land to the Midpeninsula Open Space Authority for about a quarter million dollars. Decades of remediation ensue, removing structures sick with asbestos and lead and other nasties. The land is replanted with native wildflowers, grasses, trees and shrubs, the space is sensitively designed and sensibly laid out.
The large ceremonial area in the foreground is included for the People - MidPen OSA gave the deed to Umunhum back to the Amah Mutsun. The circle is complete.
After remediation of the former ASARCO yard from all those nasty lead contaminants, new switches have been dumped to maybe serve a local business some day.

On the road to Beecherfest, I had just a little time and opportunity to foam and mostly came up empty. I did come across this interesting scene on CPKC just west of Reeseville. In August, 22 cars of a crude oil train derailed here. 3 months later cleanup and removal of dirty dirt was still underway. Note the oversized ties placed through the derailment site. Three years earlier a grain and potash train derailed in this same spot. November 8, 2025.
55009 “Alycidon” at the Greatest Gathering in Derby
The British Rail Class 55, also known as a Deltic, or English Electric Type 5, is a class of diesel locomotive built in 1961 and 1962 by English Electric for British Railways. Twenty-two locomotives were built, designed for the high-speed express passenger services on the East Coast Main Line (ECML) between Edinburgh and London King's Cross. They gained the name "Deltic" from the prototype locomotive, DP1 Deltic (the running number DP1 was never carried), which in turn was named after its Napier Deltic power units.
D9009 (55 009) Alycidon was purchased by the Deltic Preservation Society (DPS). It was initially based at the North York Moors Railway before undergoing an extensive overhaul and restoration and recertification for main-line use. Following the DPS withdrawal from main-line operations it was mostly based at the DPS depot at Barrow Hill. It was recertified for mainline use in July 2012 after a long absence stretching back to 2003. On 3 March 2019, 55 009 was hauling the 'Auld Reekie' from Edinburgh – Doncaster where all 6 traction motors flashed over. 55 009 has not worked since and was hauled back to Burton by British Rail Class 67 67004. 55 009 is now at the Great Central Railway (heritage railway) for testing following extensive repairs.
A memorable railtour for 55009 took place on August 19 2023 which ran from King's Cross to Scarborough. At York 'The Harry Wilson Centenary' headboard was attached and the popular York Deltic driver celebrating his centrury was welcomed aboard the cab at Scarborough, the Deltic having been renamed The Black Watch with 55013 number to mark Harry's favourite Deltic. Sadly, electrical problems on the return journey saw the Deltic failed at Retford. It was back to Barrow Hill for remediation repairs.
Once up and running, the Deltic, still disguised as 55013, visited the Nene Valley Railway in 2024 where one of the Napier units was obviously having problems, later diagnosed by the engineers as a likely main generator drive fault. In November 2025, the defective power unit, No. 451, was lifted out and a replacement, No. 430 was lifted in, this power unit not having run since 1981 and on which some £40,000 worth of attention had been lavished. As 2026 hoves into view, 55009 Alycidon is fully operational.

McDermitt Mine. This open-pit mine, now abandoned, ceased production in 1990. It was the last commercial mercury mine in the U.S. The pit is an EPA Superfund site and has undergone remediation. The mine lies just within the southwestern rim of a much larger collapsed caldera. Opalite District. McDermitt, Humboldt Co., Nevada.
This was part of Jean Mirò exhibition at the Villa Manin in 2015.
I took this shot because I liked the way the composition with the paint, the table and the two big screens, where the works were being projected, were together giving the idea of the remediation between the different types of media.

NUCLEAR SAFETY AND SECURITY
The IAEA establishes and adopts safety standards for the protection of people, society and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. These safety standards reflect an international consensus on what constitutes a high level of nuclear safety.
The IAEA serves as the global platform for nuclear security, helping to minimize the risk of nuclear and other radioactive material falling into the hands of terrorists, or of nuclear facilities being subjected to malicious acts.
The IAEA further assists Member States to build capacities and works to strengthen the nuclear safety and security framework globally, through peer review services and other dedicated international and national programmes and projects.

Potential remediation... Abandoned uranium mine where, at some sites, oxygenated water is pumped down wells to dissolve uranium, which is then pumped out through wells surrounding the injection site. The solute was then processed for transport to an enrichment location. Hopefully, all the unfixed uranium was pumped out before it could migrate to a drinking water aquifer.

Breaking Banality: The Dysfunction of Remediation
Photographs by Evan La Londe
PNCA’s Feldman Gallery Presents Eva and Franco Mattes
Portland, OR, October 23, 2014 — The Philip Feldman Gallery + Project Space at Pacific Northwest
College of Art (PNCA) presents Breaking Banality: The Dysfunction of Remediation, an exhibition by Eva and Franco Mattes, opening with a reception on First Thursday, November 6, 2014 and running through
January 10, 2015. For the exhibition, whose title was created by an online random exhibition title generator, the Brooklyn-based Italian duo will present ten reiterations of one performance from their series
“BEFNOED – By Everyone, For No One, Every Day,” for which they commission anonymous workers to realize webcam performances. The Mattes’ hire performers through online crowdsourcing services and post the resulting videos to many of the more obscure social networks around the world. The artists regularly post links to new videos at befnoed.tumblr.com. These works are in the lineage of Fluxus event scores and more recently Hans Ulrich Obrist’s instruction-based project, “Do It.” For this exhibition, to view the videos, visitors will be forced in awkward positions, becoming themselves, if just for a few seconds, performers, and underlying how the act of viewing is in itself performative.
For another work in the show, an image, resulting from an internet search for the words “worn out,” was printed by online services on various objects. The objects were then delivered by mail directly to the venue, so neither the artists nor the curator have seen the final works.
The duo’s provocative digital works have previously included a staged suicide filmed by webcam, a slideshow of 10,000 photos stolen from personal computers, and reenactments of well-known performance art works in online videogames.
“Eva and Franco Mattes’ subversive conceptual works delve into the obscure corners and more grim aspects of the internet and the ways it both connects and distances users,” says Mack McFarland, Director of Exhibitions at PNCA. “We are thrilled to be working with two of the cardinal Net Art practitioners and expect the exhibition to ignite valuable conversations around our digitally fabricated and recorded selves and the ways we interact at a distance now.”

Eva and Franco Mattes (1976) (a.k.a. 0100101110101101.ORG) are an artist duo originally from Italy, working in New York. Their medium is a combination of performance, video and the Internet, for which they are perhaps best known. Their work explores ethical and moral issues when people interact at distance, especially through social media, creating situations where it is difficult to distinguish reality from a simulation.
Melissa Gronlund, editor of Afterall Magazine, described Mattes’ work as follows: “Whether by obscuring the name of the author, hiding information from the public or presenting false information to (often unwitting) participants in the works they create, the Mattes set up situations in which the viewer’s mistaken assumptions and actions create the form of the work itself”.
Mattes’ work has been exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (2013); Site Santa Fe (2012);
Sundance Film Festival (2012); PS1, New York (2009); Performa, New York (2007, 2009); ARoS Aarhus
Kunstmuseum (2009); National Art Museum of China, Beijing (2008); The New Museum, New York
(2005) and Manifesta 4, Frankfurt (2002). In 2001 they were among the youngest artists ever included in the Venice Bienniale.
They have also held conferences at universities, festivals and museums, including Columbia University,
New York; RISD, Providence; New York University; Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh; College Art Association, New York; Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid; MAXXI, Rome and Musee d’Art Moderne, Paris.
They are founders and co-directors of the international festival The Influencers, held annually at the CCCB,
Barcelona, Spain (2004-ongoing).
The Mattes have received grants from the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; The Museum of Contemporary
Art, Roskilde; ICC, Tokyo, and were awarded the New York Prize 2006 from the Italian Academy at
Columbia University.
One of the most often used rooms in the house is the bathroom. It’s prone to water-related issues like mold and mildew since moisture collects here. Since there are so many areas where water can accumulate and hide, black mold is often seen in showers.
Mold growth, if left untreated, can aggravate allergies, causing respiratory problems, stain grout, and sealant permanently.

After camera was noticed at observation window to the asbestos abatement work area, a wetting-agent (in this case, water) was hastily sprayed at the sealed window and on apparently dry debris materials and enclosure surfaces. Shortly after the photo was taken, the sealed observation window was found covered over with spray-adhesive and duct tape from the inside.
Also of note, based upon elevated airborne fiber levels exhibited during worker exposure monitoring from removal of friable ceiling materials, the contractor personnel should have been wearing respiratory protection with a much higher protection factor (such as full-face powered air-purifying respirators or P.A.P.R.s) than the simple half-face respirators.
Additionally, the workers should not be wearing their common street footwear (leather boots with shoe-laces) inside the regulated asbestos abatement work area nor should they have modified their protective coveralls by tearing off the formerly attached footings.
