"Endlessly Repeating Twentieth Century Modernism" by Josiah McElheny, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Ma
United States
Photo taken for my photography assignment: "Reflections"
Repeating the UP 2002 shot from the previous week, I headed up for the overpass at Crescent to grab one last look at the 90's heading north with frac sand empties.
Repeating the trick?
Same river (the Tay), different location (Birnam)… I wondered if I could capture something similar to yesterday’s image. There was a branch dipping into the water. But it was too far away from the bank and the river was flowing too fast.
Rather than give up and walk away, I moved around a bit along the river bank and changed my camera height a few times. I persevered until I found this scene – with the stones in the foreground and the river and Dunkeld Bridge in the background.
I made sure that the focus area was set for the foreground, with the rest of the photo recognisable but not sharp. It wasn’t the shot that I’d hoped for, but it’s a decent second best.

My first thought was of the First Partition of Poland. Putin is asexual and seems to like horses so he could fill in nicely for Catherine. Donny has the general demeanor of a short man of dubious sexuality overcompensating for a general lack of traditional masculine traits and would fill in nicely for Freddy the Great.
Then again Chamberlain and Hitler are a classic choice.

It's one of the things I really like about the architecture at Ft. Point in San Francisco. There are so many great repeating patterns in columns and archways. At just the right time of day in this corner of the fort, the light play makes it look almost like a cathedral rather than a military installation. If historical architecture is your thing, I highly recommend a visit.
I'll be here again this weekend as part of our Aperture Academy San Francisco trifecta of workshops with the very talented and obnoxiously humorous, Brian Rueb. Have a great weekend and hope to see you out there!
Thanks so much for taking the time to look!
In order to alleviate some reliability issues which has affected ARRIVA Kent & Surrey at Maidstone recently a number of vehicle swaps have taken place. The latest was to send three DAF BD250s to Southend (6255, 6258 and 6260) in return for three brand new Enviro 400 MMCs (6500, 6511 and 6516).
On loan from ARRIVA Kent Thameside, 6500 SN66 WHT is seen on Dickens Road, Ringlestone whilst working route 155. Thursday 16th March 2017.
The vehicle still carries ARRIVA Kent Thameside legal lettering but interestingly has a sign displayed in the front and side windows advising that this vehicle is on-loan to ARRIVA Southern Counties - of course Kent Thameside and Kent & Surrey are both part of Southern Counties.

Locust Street goes through the central campus of University of Pennsylvania, passing by the Wharton School of Business. Fall orange colors of the leaves complement the red brick buildings and walkway. Repeating S-pattern draws the eye forward into the photo. Taken with Sony A7Rii and FE 16-35mm f2.8 G Master lens. F4.5, 1/100 sec, 24mm, ISO 100.
The chapter house is notable for its octagonal shape, slender central pillar and decorative medieval frieze. It was redecorated in 1855-9 by William Burges. The frieze circles the interior above the stalls and depicts scenes and stories from the books of Genesis and Exodus, including Adam and Eve, Noah, the Tower of Babel, and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

a side hallway at the fullerton hotel in singapore. neo classical/colonial architectural style at it's finest. this one, again, is from my photo walk / death march with maxsimus in the heart of sing sing (lots more to upload=). i also recall maxsie getting a few interesting shots here...
no hdr. manually blended in photoshop from 2 exposures. added grads + masks to highlight the shadows and saturate the flooring/concrete areas. then dodge and burned the whole lot. =) i hope you likes. have a great friday!!
It have been 25 years now since we have torn down walls and fences in Europe. We should not continue to build them up again. Can't stop thinking of little #Aylan today.
Repeating arches of the ceiling in the attic corridors of Casa Batlló, simple, elegant and stunning architecture....

It's been a busy time for us. As I write this, things have quieted down and I'm reflecting more on events from the past several weeks. The Thursday before last, my older sister, one of my younger brothers, and a nephew, flew into town for Adam's final high school jazz concert (he played an incredible solo for the second to last song in the evening's set, wowing the audience with his range) and then a couple days later, his graduation ceremony. My mom got here a few days before everyone else. We enjoyed a fun-filled week of family time. My older sister and her son don't travel much, so it was immensely enjoyable having them. My mom stayed in our guest room but we put everyone else up in an Airbnb several blocks away (speaking of which, there are a lot of Airbnb people in our neighborhood for the World Cup, right now).
My youngest son flew back to the Great Lakes with my mom. He'll spend a couple weeks with his grandparents to get his summer started. Suffice to say, after everyone had left, the house seemed so quiet! On this particular night, even Adam was gone. He'd headed up to the Cascades for a short, solo backpack, sort of a "tune-up" in preparation for bigger adventures he has in mind.
This night, the boys' mother and I were going to go out for dinner, have a romantic evening, that sort of thing......but she got ensnared by work, a meeting down in Tacoma. So, Reggie and I headed out for a long walk.........
I took this picture close to East Madison. Although the last, late sun was bright in the valley, I adjusted my ISO higher and shifted into continuous high speed focus to account for a warm breeze. These flowers remind me a lot of Senecio greyi, a common garden species around here, but I don't think that's what they are.
I think the sports car is a Camaro.
Reggie's a big, strapping boy with a shiny black coat that doubles as a solar array, so he was not a particularly spry dude during the heat wave last week. Here, he'd plopped himself behind me, seeking refuge in the coolness of my shadow while I made a few pictures.
I guess I don't really care deeply one way or the other about either of the subjects, here. But filling the frame with all the yellow, it's like when I was a kid and would turn my crayon sideways and just go to town, scribbling hard up and down, filling the page with a quick blast of inelegant but satisfying color. If there was time left over (and any crayon left), maybe go over it with a second or third coat.
Here we are – the end of a wonderful journey through the beauty of winter science. For the finale, we have one of the rarest varieties of snowflakes: a 79-degree arrowhead crystal! Double-terminated with dendrites to boot, the first of its kind I’ve ever seen. View large!
Arrowhead crystals grow at around -5C and often form with 90-degree angles, falling to the ground alongside other column-type snowflakes. The branches that spawn from the side are usually columns (taking the shape of bullets), and some of these have grown so far as to be “capped”, and even further to grow branches. They grow from the unusual crystal twinning that runs along the “spine”, which happens when one two crystals emerge from the same initial point of nucleation. I’ve looked hard to find the “evaporation groove” that usually proves this, but I’ve seen it on other snowflakes.
What I can’t quite wrap my head around is the 79 degree angles. Snowflakes usually have 60 and 90-degree angles that connect to form a hexagonal prism. In the book Ken Libbrecht’s Field Guide to Snowflakes, these crystals are barely mentioned and not even pictured – only sketched. I’ll need to do some further digging and will hopefully arrive at an answer, but for now it remains a mystery.
I believe you can spot the origin point in this crystal by comparing the angles of the branches. About a third of the way from the top of the image, you can see the angles of the columns switch to grow in the opposite direction. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before, and it doesn’t follow the logic of the repeating patterns. Is this two arrowheads fused together in some strange way, or am I missing some of the physics clues to put these puzzle pieces together? Regardless of how it came to be, it’s beautifully original, fascinating and makes me think.
I always like to sign off the snowflake series with a “curiosity”, and I think this one qualifies. It also epitomizes why I go out and photograph every new snowfall when I still have hundreds of unedited images sitting on my hard drives. You never know when something truly interesting will appear out of this air.
I’ll probably share a few snowflakes through the warmer months, but this series begins again on December 1st 2018. I’m thrilled to now be moving on to other experiments and projects that will take me into the spring blooms. I’ll be silent for a while as I catch up on everything that the marathon of snowflake editing has caused to be backed up, but I’ll be back soon.
Happy spring, everyone! :)
