The Lancaster Town Hall and Opera House, 21 Central Avenue at Clark Street, Lancaster, New York, July 2020. Municipal government offices sharing space with performing arts venues was not an uncommon phenomenon in 19th-century America, as this handsome three-story 1896 edifice attests. Designed in a hybrid Italianate and Romanesque Revival style by Buffalo architect George J. Metzger, the round arches topping the third-floor windows, the rustication present around the deeply recessed and similarly round-arched entrance, and the rough texture of the Medina sandstone lintels and string courses are representative of the latter style, while the former style is hearkened back to in the detailing atop the central tower, namely the Classical pilasters and pediments framing the clock as well as the decorative brackets above the louvered windows. The town government has occupied the building continuously since its opening, but the Opera House fell into disuse in the 1930s with the opening of the auditorium at the new Lancaster High School building, only reopening in 1981 after a laborious six-year restoration process. In the intervening years, the space was used variously: first during the Great Depression as a storehouse for food aid to needy residents, then as a processing facility for World War II recruits, then as the headquarters for Consolidated Erie County Civil Defense, then as a workspace for the town recreation department. In 2014, the Lancaster Town Hall and Opera House was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property to the Central Avenue Historic District, comprising Lancaster's downtown core.
The interior decoration and fittings are arguably the most complete and high-quality Arts and Crafts work in Wales. These include, amongst other outstanding features, a richly decorated circular font (not shown here but located behind), a decorated altar made by the 'lost wax' process that features a drawing of the Annunciation with the Virgin and dove to the left faced by a kneeling angel-child and to the extreme right, two sombre figures of Charles Tooth and his guardian angel.
The rendered interior has been repainted and whilst it does not correspond exactly with Wilson's intended (though possibly not executed) colour-scheme of 'rich warm red' nave walls, blue nave roof and 'warm cream, almost a yellow' for the chancel, the spirit of his mixture of strong primary colours has been retained.
It has been reported that the church is a shared space with a colony of lesser horseshoe bats, who are protected by Welsh Nature, but the church does limit their visits to the roof-space to reduce incidents of 'bombing' of important fittings!
The Church of St Mark, Brithdir was built in 1895–1898 under the patronage of Mrs Louisa Tooth, widow of the Revd Charles Tooth the founder of the Anglican Church in Florence. The character of the church is 'Mediterranean', not unlike other examples in the area such as St Philips Chapel at Caerdeon and Portmeirion, an Italian replica village near Porthmadog.
The church closed in 2003 but since 2005 is now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches (FoFC) who describe it as... “An Arts & Crafts jewel-box with Italianate influence situated on Cader Idris and designed by Henry Wilson”
Inside, it's unlike most other churches in the UK. You step in from a cool Welsh wooded countryside, albeit mostly rhododendron, into an unusually large space bathed in warm pastel colours of terracotta, light blue and yellow. Reminiscent of the Mediterranean! Instead of stained glass windows, of which there are none, you have decorations, ornaments, pulpits and fittings which are equally as interesting, as described above.
The FoFC carried out repairs and internal decorations in 2008. The building is now available for visitors to enjoy and for occasional services to take place. It is listed Grade 1.
The information in this set is derived from the church guide, the FoFC and the general internet, although one reference refers to the church as 'St Mary's' rather than St Mark's. I visited on a downcast day, the light of which only partly illuminated the inside, particularly the area around the organ. I'm sure if you visited on a bright day, the colours would be far more vivid with perhaps a few sunbeams shining in from the windows. A unique church and especially beautiful too in the right light.

NOTE: THIS IS JUST A PROTOTYPE. I feel pretty stupid wearing this big cap covered of tags because I need the position and orientation of the user in the space. Actually I'm using artoolkit to obtain this data but of course this is not the technology used for the final product. Normally the user just wear wireless headphones.
"Mistakes Were Made" is the result of our participation in SHARE; a bi-monthly event in Portland, Oregon that brings a small group of artists together to create in a shared space.

+ why did you take so many dicks?
-loneliness (i’m clingy)
-hobby (i don’t collect as many things as i used to (i.e. beanie babies, pencils, erasers, stickers, clothing, Pokemon cards, backstreet boys stuff, etc. i don’t like shopping that much anymore)
-coping mechanism (a lot of things changed in my life, after my dad passed away. there was no conscientious dominant male figure in my family to guide me. Dr. Todd Rimkus (Marymount University Biology Professor)(INFJ) was one of the few men who reached out in a positive way. The next man who greatly helped my life was Pastor Joseph Glaze (Washington Plaza Baptist Church in Reston, VA)(ENTP). i also needed to heal from all my childhood trauma, it was turbulent.)
-[side note] planning my Dad’s funeral and hiding the fact that I’m dating a black man was harder than you think. Having a ton of people around me, yet still feeling so incredibly lonely wasn’t easy. It’s like everyone around me is asleep (including myself to some degree). Dating any other guy would have been difficult too, because my Mom and family would have disapproved (unless he’s my first cousin). Bronson stuck out like a sword thumb at the funeral (other than Gary Robinson [African American][ENTP], but he sat all the way in the back corner with Tiffany Chou [Taiwanese American][ISFJ]). I felt the most comfortable sitting with them, they were the most present and steady at the time. Tiffany (ISFJ) and Audrey B. Lee (ESFJ) wrote me letters, while I was in New York. I meant to respond, but was going through a lot mentally, physically, and emotionally. It meant the world to me that you thought of me and reached out the best way they could.
-badge of honor (most of the men do contribute to society in a large way #dentistsarepeopletoo)
-fear of death (i had a great deal of questions on what happens after we die and a fear of the dark)
-revenge (your expectations are too high and i’m doing the best i can. my best will look different than your best, and that’s fucking ok.)
-anger (a form of release)
-comfort (daddy and mommy issues)
-quality time (thank you for spending time with me, ladies and gentlemen)
-stress relief (but then i feel guilty and stressed out about what i just did. it’s a vicious cycle, kinda like eating a whole plate of Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo followed by chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.)
-a form of addiction (drunk on dick, sometimes pussy)
-attention seeking (but is it really, when nobody knows how many? if any? [surrogate])
-thrill seeking (i enjoy the sense of adventure and mystery. am i dentist or not? how is my mom really doing?)
Working with a city map, pointing to areas that are places of meetings with others. Which are these places? Why do we choose them? Why do we feel good when we are there? What places in town are missing? What is the role of the Internet as a meeting place? In what way the Internet is different from a real place? How far does it changes the type of our mutual relations?
The north side of Argyle should be completed before the end of the construction season with the entire project completed next year. This is simply to show part of what it will look like.
Something catches your eye, or your interest. You attack it in some way or observe it in some way, and try to put it in some kind of form and take a picture. It's as simple as that. - Elliott Erwitt

Second in a series of three storytelling photos. (See related photos directly to the right and left of this one.
Maybe you would have had to have been there, but those of us who were there were stunned by this slow-moving, non-verbal interaction. Maybe it's a scene that is played out everyday, I'm not there everyday - so I don't know.
No excuses, but again, this is about documentation, not high-end or skilled photography. If you don't appreciate animals and birds you won't fully appreciate what was going on. Wallaby was making direct eye contact with the emu while all the time getting closer and closer to the dish.
