inside Eleven homes
The series Eleven is a collection of images documenting the interiors of
Frank Relle’s immediate families’ homes. Below is an excerpt from Frank’s
interview with writer Patrick Strange.
Relle’s current creations reveal bare portraits of interior spaces-often eye-level
accounts of everyday household objects and furniture. Like an inventory of life’s
generic commodities, many of the new images border on the mundane, centering
on such items like Norman Rockwell-screened throw pillows, dirty oven mitts, a
set of kitchen knives, a stack of paperback books, an over-sized plastic coin bank
shaped as a Budweiser bottle. At first, the images seem unremarkable, but as one
follows the pathways of Relle’s wandering eye, a pattern begins to emerge. These
photographs are not just a catalogue of materials, but attest to the fragile lives of
those who possess them and-in the regional context of southern Louisiana—they
suggest the nature of things that can so quickly be lost.
“After the scare of Hurricane Gustav, I started thinking, ‘Why the hell do we
keep doing this?’” Relle says. “And I realized that it was because of family.
My connection to New Orleans is more than habit, it’s because my family is here.
So, I started to ask myself what that really means—what it means to build a life that
can be washed away.”
Thus, Relle’s inquisitions have led him to the countertops and bedposts of his
childhood, and forced him to reconsider the worth of objects that have been
present from his earliest memories.
“It becomes a question of why the objects in our daily lives are important and
why they are glorified,” Relle says. “Is it because they are glorious before they are
destroyed, or is it only in the drama of loss that they are glorified? All I can do is
keep asking.”
Such questions may never be answered, but that doesn’t seem to keep Relle from
pondering the meaning of that which surrounds him. And as long as he continues
to investigate the objects and spaces that populate our lives-no matter the method
or the final result-those inanimate things will only continue to reveal secrets about
our inner selves.
We were lucky with the weather on the third Plague Trip when we camped for a week in Michigan, as it was clear and cool every day except one. But we knew going in that Tuesday was supposed to be bad, with heavy rain scheduled to move over the Munising area sometime in the afternoon, so we built a vague schedule that mostly involved driving around but started with a short hike. This was the day we planned to walk the mile-ling trail to the Au Sable Light, one of Lake Superior's more remote lighthouses.
The Au Sable Light sits along the shore in the middle of one of those pieces of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore where there aren't any roads, and you have to come at it from the North Country Trail. You can either walk a mile east from the parking lot at the Hurricane River Campground or two miles west from the lot at the Log Slide Scenic Overlook. We weren't sure how soon the rain would get here, so we took the shorter path from the west.
Don't be deceived by this picture, though, which shows us coming to the lighthouse from the east along a narrow track. We overshot the lighthouse a little bit looking for a nice place for a picnic lunch, and I took this as we were coming back. While the path from the Log Slide is more typical of the remote North Country Trail, the path from Hurricane is mostly just a gravel road. I suspect the Park Service uses it to drive trucks out to the lighthouse, though we didn't see any of those. We did see a lot of fellow tourists. The path from Hurricane to the Au Sable Light is popular.

Finally got a remote for my good camera which transmits via radio signal up to 166'. Took camera, tripod, remote and bag on tonights ride to play around a bit and get the hang of it.
Here's my remote controlled KAP rig. This was built entirely from junk I had kicking around my house (except camera).

Actually, it's a friend's Zenith TV remote after a pet rabbit got hold of it. She still uses it. Good memory.
Take a look at the image in the large or the original size view. Btw, the image posted here is upsidedown from the way you'd hold the remote to use it. I like the image better this way.
Brendan loves making silly faces! This story photo was taken during the filming of an object converation written by Rafael at Streamwood High School. He wrote a dialouge between a TV and a remote control. We created this cool effect using an old hollowed out TV.

Borong, a beautiful hamlet.
My Experience:
Borong, a remote and peaceful hamlet with abundance of unspoiled nature, under subdivision of Rabangla, in south Sikkim, is situated 17 kms from the tourist town of Rabangla (Ravangla). Being 120 kms away from Siliguri in North Bengal, India, Rabangla is situated at an elevation of 8000 ft with its famous Maenam wildlife sanctuary (35 square kilometres) for Great Himalayan Bears, Red Pandas, and Birds. The literal meaning of 'Maenam-La' is "Treasure house of medicines". Maenam is also famous for a 12km trekking from Rabangla to Maenam top at 3140m, for its spectacular lookout point. We had a wonderful trekking experience this time through this forest for a stretch of 18 kms (up and down). It seemed to me truly a paradise for nature lovers.
Borong is a place where you will hear only the sounds of your foot steps apart from the singing of birds of varied species, especially during dawn. River Rangit flows downhill through the gorge. People there, are so simple, warm, and honest...distinctly different from urban complexities and consumerisms.
Being one of the oldest hubs of Buddhist culture, Borong hosts the oldest monastery in Sikkim, built in 1730, is known as Old Ralong Monastery (probably known as Borong Monastery). A new monastery, called Ralong Monastery, was built later, only 3 kms away from the old one. Both the monasteries are the treasure house of architectures, frescos, artifacts, and religious herritage. Many of the Buddhist Monks seemed to me as the epitome of holiness.
Borong is a model village for organic cultivation where everything is organic...including tea and alcohol. It has recently gained fame due to increasing popularity of village tourism and eco-tourism activities. Every small house of the villagers has a bit of land cultivating organic tea, vegetables, fruits and a variety of plant spices, especially cardamom and turmeric. Tastes and flavors of foods, vegetables are mouth-watering. Drinking- water is straight from the natural springs. It is strictly a plastic and smoking free zone. In a clear day you will find majestic Mt Kanchenjungha (28,170 ft, third highest mountain in the world), Mt. Pandim (21,952 ft), Mt. Narsing (19,029 ft) and Black Kabru.

In the month of March-April you will have a spectacular display of Rhododendrons everywhere here, and in the late October, awesome Cherry blossoms all around.
We stayed in 'Wild Flower Retreat', a wonderful resort in Borong. The hospitality, food and lodging was simply amazing there. It was my immense pleasure to relax with a cup of coffee and viewing the great mountaiin peaks right in front from the resort courtyard. We had a wonderful experience of an unique way of making 'Organic Paper' from a special kind of plant cultivated in the village, originally discovered in this region of Himalayan forests. The product of this small scale industry, within the premises of 'Wild Flower Retreat', reminded me the Papyrus of Ancient Egypt.
Borong is a place, I'm sure, with all its grandeur, beauty and uniqueness will call you again and again...anytime a year...if you want to escape from your burdened and stressful life, and acquire some knowledge and wisdome, you never had before. Once you go there...will feel the pulse...and energy you build-up from inside...an 'Elixer' having a power of its own, much superior than any tonic prepared in human laboratories...!!!
Norway has so many places like this. An eternity of mountains and a cabin here and there. This is from Kvamskogen, one hour outside Bergen.

De fotograaf, art-director of regisseur bekijkt het hoogtebeeld live op de laptop. Hier een Windows notebook. Het 4k beeld is verschrikkelijk goed. Teveel hoogte is onwenselijk, je wilt graag alle details kunnen zien. Het statief staat 4 meter onder de maximale hoogte. De camera-opstelling is te zien op de volgende foto. Een compleet nieuw perspectief.
