The expansion of residential suburbs in the 1960’s and 1970’s left our central city with stately but underutilized school facilities. Fremont School is one example - a beautiful brick and terracotta building in the Spanish Revival style on a quiet Midtown street. It had a ‘second life’ as an adult education center, which was has since been shuttered.
After much discussion and negotiation, Fremont School now is slated as the new creative home for Sacramento’s Performing Arts community. The high ceilings and large classrooms have the potential to perfectly suit rehearsal and teaching needs for the Sacramento Ballet, Sacramento Opera and Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra.
There are many technical challenges to adapting an early 20th century non-reinforced masonry building to the needs of 21st century performing arts. We are diving into these challenges with creative energy, confident that this new Studios for the Performing Arts will be a vibrant and creative magnet in the community.

solar-powered LEDs, steel, plastic, reused drinking bottles, the blues (Schizachyrium scoparium, little blue stem)
A temporary public art project, promotes the use of alternative energy sources as well as recycling and responds to Arlington environmental initiative, FreshAIRE. Nearly 700 solar-powered LEDs secured to rods of varying heights, eatch topped with a reused plastic drinking bottle illuminate the traffic island between North Lynn St. and Ft. Myer Drive and several satellite locations throughout the county. The poles' slight flexibility, combined with the LEDs' nebulous glow underneath the ridged surfaces of the plastic drink bottles, create a soft, undulating cloud of light.
An organic arrangement of a native American grass, the blues, stands in contrast to the grid upon which the poles are installed. The blues gets its name from its iridescent blue-green foliage which, over time, will mature into verdant swaths thorought the project site.
The 3rd Annual Fashion Trashion event at the University of Minnesota, Morris. This event is run by the Studio Art folks, who have students in the intro 3-D studio course create costumes out of recycled, reused, or repurposed materials. This is a always a huge success, with lots of really creative work and a ton of fun for the audience.
Jess Larson is the MC, Jennie Nellis taught the course this year, and the judges are Troy Goodnough (Sustainability Coordinator), Jennifer Deane (History), Jacquie Johnson (Chancellor), Ray Schultz (Theatre), and Hilda Ladner (Multi-ethnic Programs)
The High Line in the Meatpacking District neighbourhood in Manhattan, New York City.
It is a 1.5-mile-long elevated linear park, greenway and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad West Side Line. Designed as a "living system" drawing from multiple disciplines which include landscape architecture, urban design, and ecology. It was inspired by the Promenade plantée (tree-lined walkway), a similar project in Paris completed in 1993.
The West Side Line formerly extended south to a railroad terminal at Spring Street, just north of Canal Street, and north to 35th Street at the site of the Javits Centre. Due to a decline in rail traffic along the rest of the viaduct, it was effectively abandoned in 1980 when the construction of the Javits Centre required the demolition of the viaduct's northernmost portion. The southern portion of the viaduct was demolished in segments during the late 20th century.
A non-profit organization called Friends of the High Line was formed in 1999 by Joshua David and Robert Hammond, advocating its preservation and reuse as public open space. Celebrity New Yorkers joined in on fundraising and support for the concept. The administration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced plans for a High Line park in 2003. Repurposing the railway into an urban park began in 2006 and opened in phases during 2009, 2011, and 2014. The Spur, an extension of the High Line that originally connected with the Morgan General Mail Facility at Tenth Avenue and 30th Street, opened in 2019, as the final part of the park to open.
It has become an icon of American contemporary landscape architecture. The High Line's success has inspired cities throughout the United States to redevelop obsolete infrastructure as public space. The park became a tourist attraction and spurred real estate development in adjacent neighbourhoods, increasing real-estate values and prices along the route.

The bottom part of plastic bottles can be perfectly used as dessert bowls. Cut the bottom part of the bottle and use a candle to remove any imperfection (only burn the edge gently for one second). I used some Media Ink to decorate my party bowls. Use it to put fresh fruit salad with creamy custard. This craft idea is so simple and easy to make and very cheap.

PROBLEM: I have this old suitcase, which I think is really cool but I'm not sure what to do with it. I have some things that need a home but I don't want to go out and buy something.
SOLUTION: Heavenly Metal of Ann Arbor has just the solution. Use your old suitcase as a purposeful container. Here, owner Vicki Honeyman displayed reusable shopping bags.
HINT: Other items you could put in the suitcase: magazines, kid's schoolwork, or gift wrapping supplies.

Former Brighton District #9 one-room schoolhouse, built in 1906. It closed as a school in 1939 and was left vacant for 10 years. Its first homeowners found the desks still nailed to the floor and the potbellied stove in the rear of the building. The bell tower remains a charming reminder of this building’s original use.

Recycled and Reused
11 March 2013 -- 70/365
Warren, Rhode Island
Today was one of those days when none of the photo plans worked. What you see before you is a hastily taken "safety shot" during the most uncooperative lunch outing. It was a very nice day, weatherwise, so I decided to head to Colt State Park in Bristol at lunch. While crossing the Barrington Bridge, though, I spotted a woman kayaking. I know that she normally kayaks out to Colt, so I ducked down Water Street in Warren and stopped at the Town Wharf. My plan was to photograph her paddling past the empty mariner at the Town Wharf. For some reason, though, she cut her route short and I saw her looping around and island and heading back towards Barrington. By then it was too late to continue towards Colt, so I decided to try for her along the river. Just in case, I grabbed a very fast shot of the image you see in front of you.
Suffice it to say, I never saw her again. She wasn't visible from any of the road crossings across the river. I pulled into the boat ramp section along Route 114 where she normally puts in. Sure enough, her truck was there, but she was nowhere in site. I did take several photos from that location. The White Church was lost in haze, so that didn't work. A Victorian era house across the way was my next shot, but power lines ruined that photo. I did get a nice photo of a juvenile red-tailed hawk in flight, but that's hardly a Photo-a-Day candidate. After all that, I had to settle for my safety shot.
So what is this shot, you may ask? Well, it's a trash barrel at the Town Wharf in Warren. They decorated the barrel holder with an anchor and chain from a large yacht, and it's that decoration that I decided to make the centerpiece of today's photo. That also explains the "recycled and reused" caption. Fortunately, it does make a somewhat interesting b&w.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted the color sensitivity sliders followed by adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, details, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels, brightness, and contrast adjustment was added in PSE and it was topped off with a sepia photo filter.

One of the nicest little chapels out there. Amazingly this used to be a power plant.
