I spent the past week and a half exploring the California coast from Pacifica to Southern Big Sur. This stretch of coast has many photogenic locations, some of them world class. Other locations I visited weren't due to doing research they were products of deciding to go check something out and see what was there. This particular morning on the coast was exactly that. I had no idea what I was going to find at Kirk Creek Beach on my hunt to watch the full moon set of over the pacific. I was thrilled to discover these two stacks and found that they made perfect subjects on a clear morning.

I received a set of three two-sided mini posters of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, from Disney Movie Rewards on February 17, 2016. They feature a group shot of all the main characters, and closeups of Rey, Leia, Han, Finn and Kylo. They measure 19" H x 13" W, and are nicely printed on stiff poster paper. They were shipped flat, and arrived in perfect condition. Here are my photos of the posters. They are still available from the DMR site for 650 points.

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs

i feel this way often. i appreciate things like... a cool breeze... the sun... gorgeous clouds... how a vine twists around a fence to grow higher...even bugs... and after shooting a wedding for 10 hours, walking to my car i noticed this shot. the clouds were covering most of the stars, but you could see one here and there through them... and the lamp poles in the parking lot...all of them with only one bulb on. simple. but rewarding.
better on black
hss!

The Disney Movie Rewards Tinker Bell alphabet block trinket box, from various angles. It is in the KidKraft Snowflake Mansion. Tinker Bell is sitting on the block and laughing. The letters on the block spell TINK. It is 4'' W x 4'' D x 7'' H. I got it used but in excellent condition for a very good price. I think she is the best looking and most accurate Tinker Bell figure that I own.

I know I'd walk with an extra spring in my step were I able to don this outfit and use golden service items for Sunday Mass.
People being what they are, it wouldn't surprise me if the sumptuousness of one's finery were in direct proportion to one's power and importance within the Church's earthly hierarchy.

The colder weather systems have brought fascinating clouds. Sunrises, sunsets, and everything in-between have been amazing to photograph. The attempts are made with constantly changing sunlight conditions, but its fun.

I mentioned that I needed bubble wrap and my true love returned home with this. He was very proud that he'd gotten the buy-two-get-one-free deal.
At one time large rewards were given by London surgeons in exchange for bodies. In Great Yarmouth in 1827 Thomas Vaughan exhumed at least 10 bodies from the graveyard of St Nicholas Church. He was employed by the vicar's son Sir Astley Cooper an anatomist who also became surgeon to Queen Victoria. The recently buried bodies were loaded into crates and then on to trains to London. It's thought that more than 20 bodies were exhumed from the graveyard in the same year. Thomas Vaughan was jailed for the crimes while Sir Astley Copper is remembered as 'Surgeon to Guy's Hospital London Surgeon to King William IV and Queen Victoria Anatomist Surgical Pioneer'.
This is part of a 28 panel mural, created and painted by local people which is next to Vauxhall Bridge near Great Yarmouth Railway Station. The mural illustrates key points in 170 years of the town’s history beginning with Yarmouth’s first railway in 1844.

Girlfriend and dog in film. Accidental light leak and double exposure. Have no idea how it even happened. I finally recognized where the "rewards" came from. It was my employer's healthcare information packet. How it ended up on this shot remains a mystery.
I just got my Olaf Pull-Apart Plush, from Disney Movie Rewards. He is the smallest of my Olaf plushes, at 8 1/2'' to the top of his head, or 10 1/2'' to the top of his hair. He cost $9.95. I ordered him a month ago (April 12) and got him today (May 16). He has a total of six removable pieces, held together with Velcro. Namely his head, his nose, his upper body, his arms, and his lower body (including his legs). He is very soft, and has the same design as the other Disney Olaf plush dolls. The Velcro works pretty well to keep his various parts together, but it takes a bit of patience and trial and error to get all the parts close to their original positions. But I suppose being a snowman, it isn't necessary to get him exactly aligned. His body is much smaller than the similarly sized Small Olaf plush by the Disney Store, so he is much lighter. He is very stable sitting down, in his normal position. The Velcro fasteners allow his different parts to be posed as if they had rotating joints, so he is as posable as a plastic doll, except for his feet/legs, which have fixed positions in front of his lower body. It will be lots of fun to pose this plush with other members of my Frozen collection, especially to reproduce scenes from the movie.
Black. Size 9.5. Ordered today at 3:44pm. I have been waiting like a good girl to have money, and at 3:25 my freelance check cleared! At 3:35 I saw that the black ones had come back into stock in my size, and at 3:40 the logo I have been struggling with for over a week, had been viewed and approved! soooo:
I AM ALLOWED TO BUY BOOTS!

Since I have been home shooting again, I have been hesitant about how much of my face that I want to show in self portraits. I find that faces often add so much identity to a character that I am portraying. While I find a representation of myself in many of my self portraits, I also want to leave room for the viewer to add their own identity, so as to better understand the story I am trying to tell. For this shoot, however, I decided to bend my own rules. It was interesting for me to then see the changes that have occurred in my face since my last portrait with a focus on my face.
I did not plan this shoot ahead of time, like I usually do. I was with my mom at her office and she had to turn the water off in a well pit. She asked me to go take the lid off and I immediately begged her to let me drop down there and do a shoot. The shovel was my only prop and the slip I was wearing my only costume, but I don't think the idea of digging one's own grave is a bad concept for me.
Robert Cremean in his studio with the lay-in of the Outer Wall of VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography, 1975
He wrote:
"…I believe the idea of creating oneself is what we are about. That’s the reason we’re here. That’s the point of life. You can believe that whether you are a Jew, a Christian, or a Buddhist. There are no actual rewards. The real reward is in the creation. Vatican Corridor is about creating oneself."
In 1974 Robert Cremean created his sixty page Preparatory Study for VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography, 1974–1976, the second part of THE NARCISSUS PENTOLOGY. In the introduction to the publication of the Preparatory Study the publisher wrote: “This manuscript provides us with the opportunity to read the artist’s philosophical concepts for that specific work of art and to understand how these concepts are interpreted symbolically through the human figure. Because the basic philosophy—one man equals all men—is inherent in the work, the artist’s non-specific autobiography contains and is an extension of our own.”The pages of the Preparatory Study usually accompany the exhibition of the sculpture thus marrying the sculptor’s visual and written concepts with the completed piece.
Every artist, no matter the medium, creates an autobiography through his or her work, whether deliberately or not. Whatever ideas and forms, whatever metaphors and historical evidence are made manifest, the entire body of work is an expression of all that has itself formed the artist, an ongoing endpoint of everything previously thought and experienced. The work
of Robert Cremean may be viewed, as it is in VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography and within the concept “One man equals all men,” as the deliberate creation of
a metaphorical autobiography, a detailed analysis of who and what he is, was and may yet become; it is a metaphorical analysis of everything that has formed him. A study of all subsequent works by him makes clear his continuing analysis in metaphor of himself, of religion, of war, of commerce and of Art, a pertinacious metaphorical exposition of the culture and of “culture-makers,” of how “culture-makers” actually form and bind our culture and how they have, in the process, distorted the very concept of Art, how they ill-used artists, women, homosexuals,
and children—all of us and each other—during the millenia, and a continuing analysis of 8/6/45, the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima from which date he has declared “All the metaphors
have changed.”
And it was with VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography, that he shifted almost exclusively from the making of individual pieces consisting of only one physical element to the creation of major installation works consisting of various individual elements, each executed in diverse media, studio sections that completely filled whatever studio in which he worked. TERMINUS: Studio Section 1981–1983 was the first of the so-named studio sections he created. About the second, he wrote: “With TERMINUS II: Studio Section 1985–1990 began a flow of work receptive to everything I am, enfolding me in Process.” No longer did he make individual pieces, a collection of which would then be exhibited for sale in a commercial art gallery. He chose thereafter to continue the precedent established with the filling of his studio with work that was all of a piece. He wrote:
"I began to use the Wall as a separate voice in the work, setting it back rather like a Greek chorusfor witness and commentary on the action within the sculpture which fronts it: cast shadows,
interconnections of line, color, content, etc."
The “walls” became spaces whereon he recorded his thoughts, wrote essays, made images in bas-relief and in three dimension. Combined with three dimensional sculptures placed in front
of these wall panels and within the center space bounded by the four walls of the studio, these large bodies of work, these studio sections, continued to be created even with the change of
studios. With the exception of only one, its parts dispersed by a collector, all of the studio sections to the present are housed in the permanent collections of various museums.
After many very successful one-person gallery shows, Robert Cremean vowed never again to place his work in a commercial gallery, his reasons clearly explained. The following is excerpted
from his book THE TENTH ARCH, A Sequel to VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography:
"All of my previous relationships with gallery dealers were oil and water turbulence. Any consideration of continuance within the artist/gallery/collector triangle was precluded by experience and almost physical revulsion. By excluding commerce from the equation, there was the very real possibility for an interchange and complexity almost limitless in scope and service… As artists’ visions differ, so do their needs, desires and ambitions. In this age of exaggeration, celebrity has been given high value. Whoness has replaced Whatness and the culture has adjusted accordingly. The traditional artist/gallery/collector triangle is perhaps the clearest indication of this shift of emphasis: My first one-man exhibition in a commercial gallery was in 1954. The percentage of commission to the gallery was 331⁄3%,with expenses shared equally by artist and dealer (catalogues,
shipping, mailing, brochures, etc.). That percentage now stands at 50% with, in most cases, the artist required to pay all expenses. What has happened here? Obviously, the culture feels that the seller of art is of more value than the maker. This shift of emphasis in a value system is pervasive, touching all aspects of the community. By establishing the purveyor of art with so much importance, it is his product that has assumed priority, placing the artist in remove and creating a hierarchy of parasitic industry: galleries, museums, collectors, auction houses, publications, etc. The artist must pay 20% more of his income for hype. Some artists may find this acceptable in their ambition, and celebrity a valid and desirable reward. Some, however, will not. Despite the seeming all-pervasive control of art by culture-makers and middle men, there remains only one significant triangle for artists and Art: point A being the artifact, point B the artist and point
C the viewer. It is for this kind of artist that, perhaps, a non-commercial, more community oriented form might appeal. Too many of these artists are being abandoned by contemporary attitudes and patterns, causing a drastic disconnection between Art and culture. The parasitic hierarchy has distorted and opacified the significance of Art to a degree beyond definition. It is time for the artist to reclaim his identity within the societal whole; the parasites have virtually destroyed the host. New ways must be found to realign Art and culture into a more tactile symmetry."
