An off-duty US Marine hangs out with another marine named Hurst (as seen on his jacket) near some air duct (venting system?) on the USS Peleliu.
Nearly every single man who is sitting by these openings at the ship is using either a cell phone or a computer. Could it be that they have no coverage in international waters? Or perhaps they cannot really check personal messages until they are near navy ports like Hong Kong?
For some shots I could even see what they have on their computer monitors—mostly white screens—clearly reception is an issue everywhere you go, and for sure the freegovwifi in Hong Kong is unusable. Good luck—go get a 3G card next time you are in town!

Since 1975, the BMW Art Car project has been inviting an international roster of artists to utilise their automobiles as canvas for art.
The project was introduced by the French racecar driver and auctioneer Hervé Poulain, starting with Alexander Calder and the CSL 3.0, which Poulain himself raced in the 1975 Le Mans endurance race. Although the cars were intended to be race in the beginning, these days it has shifted the focus somewhat to position BMW as a player in the arts as luxury global brands have been seen to sponsor many art programs.
Pictured is the BMW Art Car #10 seen at Art Basel Hong Kong recently. It was painted by César Manrique, art artist and architect born in Arrecife, Lanzarote, and grew up in the area of San Ginés lagoon. It was painted in 1990 on a BMW 730i.

Putrajaya (Jawi: اللجوء) is a planned city, located south of Kuala Lumpur, that serves as the federal administrative centre of Malaysia.
The National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine (國民革命忠烈祠) is considered a must-see attraction for visitors to Taiwan. It was built to honor the 390,000 Chinese soldiers killed during the Xinhai Revolution, Northern Expedition, Second Sino-Japanese War, Chinese Civil War, and the First and Second Taiwan Strait Crises.
The ceremonial changing of the guards, seen here, occurs every hour. The military officers stand still until they are replaced in the next hour.
Photographed with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 17-40 f/L USM. Processed in Lightroom 5.

Summary
Typographic landscape of a city described through visually counting from 1 to 100.
Setup
These were shot with my first digital camera, the Sony Mavica FD7.
Statement
This was my first photography project. It started out as a project for a typography class while I was in college. Like most graphic design assignments at Yale, it was very open ended. We were asked to show the experience of a city through the language of typography. I have always been interested in numbers, and I as such I decided to run around New Haven and photograph numbers which represent the city, from 1 to 100.
The series is to be projected on the wall as slideshow. The numbers are recognizably New Haven, and most who have been in New Haven can recognize the sense of time and space as they go through the series. Some commented that it reminded them of Sesame Street.
I thought of extended this to different neighborhoods in New York, but I never had the time to work on more of them after college, and as such I have only completed the first and only one...
The original series was displayed via a conventional slide projector. In order to best-simulate the original intention on a computer, view the set as a slideshow and set the speed to fast.

For a long while now, I have wondered what those weird rocks formation across the harbour is. Now that I can zoom way far, I took a pano and realised that they were not rocks at all. They were in fact Chinese traditional tombstones.
In remote locations in Hong Kong, there lies these traditional burial grounds which have been present before the modern times and dates back far before the Opium War after which the British took over as part of a 99 year lease from China [1].
The 風水 fengshui is excellent here. Its back is against the mountains and it faces the ocean. The area is called Yim Tin Tsai (Chinese: 鹽田仔; literally "Little Salt Field") [2]. It is apparently an island and is connected to the mainland in the north by a road to The Beverely Hills [3], a luxury residential development, and to the island of Ma Shi Chau [4] in the east by a tombolo.
Perhaps even more interesting is that a late neolithic prehistoric site sting back to about 4,000 years ago has been identified on the island. Members of the Hakka Chan (陳) clan were thought to have moved from today’s Shenzhen and settled in Yim Tin Tsai during the 19th century.
I have seen many fishermen boats coming from that vicinity towards me (also in the center of my capture), and it appears that there is in fact a fisherman village as well as a typhoon shelter for boats just across the hill.
(This sounds like a potentially full-blown photojournalism article for me to work on in the future—stay tuned)
Stitched together using 13 full resolution captures on the 7D with the 100-400.

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

Pure Products USA | Ligorano/Reese Collaboration in Art
Towards a Surreal Politik…
In 1992, we began Pure Products of America as a series of multiple editions focusing on the impact of marketing on politics. Over the past 17 years, the series has expanded and now includes 14 pieces running the gamut from snow globes to underwear (our underwear was the first to pack a political message), to happy meals.
Each object is signed and numbered in various sized editions. When we introduce Pure Products, we send some of them as gifts to government officials. Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, members of the Supreme Court and various Senators and Congressional representatives have all received a pure product at one time or another.
Pure Products also function as discreet elements in installations. The installations The Bible Belt, Pillars of the Clean Order, and Steel Nipples incorporated them in sculptural settings with video and other media. In 2001, we expanded on this idea with the inauguration of an online retail website as part of the project.
Each piece is grounded within a framework that satirizes political values and, often, lampoons morality. Some pure products, like Line Up and Contract with America underwear, became media sensations, reported in the press, on television and radio. The commentary surrounding the artwork is a mixture of absurdity and culture jamming, amplifying how much the media interprets and misinterprets contemporary art and blurs the connections between art, activism and commerce.

Bio
NORA LIGORANO and MARSHALL REESE have collaborated together as Ligorano/Reese since the early 80’s. They use collaboration to blend diverse talents into a singular voice and vision. In the process of creating their work, their individual contributions cross and criss-cross between each other from brainstorming to realizing and making the art on location or in the studio.
They use unusual materials and industrial processes to make their limited edition multiples, videos, sculptures and installations, moving easily from dish towels, underwear, and snow globes, to electronic art and computer controlled interactive installations.
They take and manipulate images, audio and text from old media: print, television, radio and combine that with the new: internet and mobile telecommunications. Their pursuit is an ongoing investigation into the impact of technology on culture and the associations and meanings that the media brings to images, language and speech in politics.
They have an interest with using open forms to involve community interaction, like their drawing contests, Crater Bay Area for the 01 Festival in San Jose and Crater New York at Location1. Installations that combine sculpture with public participation in drawing, within the context of a contest that is also streamed on the internet and in Second Life. Their ice sculptures, “Main Street Meltdown” and “The State of Things” share that same sense of open possibility, fusing natural processes of erosion and decay as flexible durations and markers to determine the experience of the work.
Many of their sculptures and installations reinterpret and reexamine older forms of technology - using objects that signify truth, authority and manifest cultural historicity. Ligorano/Reese use mirrors, clocks, metronomes and medieval codex bindings and combine them with video screens. They have invented micro-projection systems to display films on the head of a pin or the counterweight of a metronome.
Since 2004, they’ve investigated portraiture as a construct of social representation. Line Up (2004-5), their series of portraits of Bush administration officials in mug shot, acknowledges that the mug shot is the preeminent form of portraiture now that more people are incarcerated in the U.S. than any other country in the world. In December, 2007, the exhibition of these photos at the New York Public Library caused a firestorm of controversy with heavy rotation on FoxNews, DrudgeReport’s homepage and many, many other publications.
In 2001, they launched www.pureproductsusa.com, the online retail website for their infamous political art series the Pure Products of America. Since 1992, Ligorano/Reese have made 11 multiples in signed editions of 3 to 100. They are best selling editions at Printed Matter, artbook@ps1 and the New Museum store and have prompted, at least on one occasion, the RNC to threaten them with copyright infringement.

For over 30 years, Los Angeles and Brooklyn based artist Kenny Scharf has been creating sparkly, pop-ed and monstrous paintings, sculptures and installations featuring imagery from animated cartoons in his childhood.
This particular character is called “Squirtz,” one of the artist’s “classic guys.” The one shown recently at Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 is a red one, though recently an 8-ft tall blue version can be spotted in New York at Paul Kasmin Gallery, The Standard, High Line when the artist has a solo show called “Kolors”.
The juxtaposition between the cheery sculpture and the gallerists show that the line which used to divide street art and fine art is becoming very blurry these days. Sparkly!

Sometimes when you are little it is hard to get noticed, but fear not, if you are good, you will still be spotted despite the noise around you.
This painting by UK artist Julie Roberts caught my eye because unlike most artworks which are screaming loudly to me, it is a world within its own. It is painted with oil, but the strokes it makes resemble one which looks like markers—with fine lines, accented with dots, rings and bubbles.
I recognize what is depicted almost immediately—it is that of a boys’ boarding school. There is something decidedly British about the scenery, and all have a child-like wonders to them in the distant past. It appears that going through historic archives is part of her process, and it really does show through.
Fine and exquisite. SML Love.

The Art Of Roseline Koener
“... as a painter I feel that I have in my possession the means of moving others in the direction in which I myself am driven ...”
- Paul Klee, On Modern Art
Her grandfather was a collector, her mother a painter: what did eleven-year-old Roseline Koener want for her twelfth birthday? Oil paints! The following Christmas, her first book on art history arrived, and every week thereafter a book on a different artist. Soon Roseline Koener was studying with the masters. Then came la Cambre (a school founded by members of the Bauhaus) which drew her away not only from the conservatism of her earliest efforts but from art-making itself. In its place she turned to archeology and art history, working after graduation at a succession of museums. Unfulfilled creativity prompted study abroad and travel: Dublin, San Francisco, New York... During this period she learned (from Manuel Neri) “to draw not from seeing, but from feeling”. It was the culture of Africa that transformed her truly. “Its color, fabric, texture” changed the Belgium-born artist into a world cosmopolitan. Roseline Koener’s art strikes one immediately with its color, patterned space and tactile qualities.
Koener’s Westhampton atelier presents the visitor with an array of objects -- ceramics, baskets, linens, paintings and sculptures. Only a shelf’s worth of big bottles of dry pigment divides her workspace from living quarters. The former teems with her works, as well as huge basketfuls of colored fabrics, colored papers, occult-evoking sculpture collections, books, music -- much of this evidence of the wide range of her interest in indigenous cultures.
Roseline Koener’s work process tends to the spontaneous; her media -- fabric and paper foremost among them -- are arranged, layered, inserted, and glued together according to the dictates of color. Markings, dots, and lines then enrich her distinctively beautiful tonal field, bringing into play her highly-developed drawing sense and command of painting technique, until the fragments merge into the single new piece.
Koener’s colors –- her blue, pink, yellow, and green blended with pink and green, purple and blue – make for strong visual poetry; vibrant and intense. She creates them by mixing dry pigment with egg white and an emulsifier, or, alternatively, the dry pigment with ink. The dots or freely drawn lines guide us beyond these exuberant colors into the colors within.
Intellect plus depth of understanding, combined with force of impulse and spontaneity -- all together constitute this artist’s distinctiveness. Her experiences both intellectual and emotional, her biography of courageous embracings and of castings-off, all these have been translated into her work, which guides and pulls us toward her.
“To see the different beauty, to encounter the soul of the world, to discover the universal humanity”, Roseline Koener travels frequently, in-between stints as educator and working artist. Her ultimate goal as artist is to evoke spirituality through the illuminating light of her colors. It should be no surprise that she counts Matisse and Rothko among the artists that enchant her most.

西灣 Sai Van is a bay area [1] at the Macau Peninsula [2], the oldest and most populous part of Macau. In the old times, it used to be a place where merchant ships dock, but it has become a residential area in modern times.
The locals—including schools and public media—pronounced the character 灣 as 環 even though the character suggest otherwise (different intonation in Chinese). Because of this, even the Macau public bus transport Transmac named the place as “西環” instead of “西灣”.
This panorama is stitched using 15 full resolution RAW captures with the 7D and the 24-70. The serial looks off mainly because I originally shot these bracketed intended as HDR but as I wrote earlier the pano processing combined with HDR is somewhat challenging at the moment and I will not attempt it until I have more time in the future.
The unmistakeable architecture for Grand Lisboa (新葡京) [3] can be seen on the far left of the frame, where as the Macau Tower is unfortunately chopped off. One unfortunate reality about these panorama shots is that if I had included the full tower then almost the entire frame would be filled with the sky. I would have had shot these with the 17-40 but I lend it to my dad who was traveling with me and he was way too far away for me to get it back so next time.

Fairytale Fashion
Diana Eng: As a fashion designer who works with science and technology, I've learned about some really amazing things. I've had some great experiences as a designer: sitting front row at fashion week, working at various fashion companies, researching at the University of Bath Mechanical Engineering Dept., being a designer on Project Runway, working in Victoriai's Secret Research and Development department, and co-founding NYC Resistor hacker group. When I was a little girl, I wish that my friends and I knew about some of the things I know today. We would have loved to play with them. Dress-up with super sparkling LED's. Imagining worlds made of deployable structures. I want to share all of the neat things I've learned, because no matter what your age, science and technology are always fun to play with.
You may not be able to sew or solder or draft a pattern or program a microcontroller. But that's okay because Fairytale Fashion is about imagining the possibilities. I will be trying my best to make them happen.
Fairytale Fashion is produced with the support of Eyebeam.

Someone on Flickr asked to see more photographs of the densely packed residential architecture in Hong Kong. Your wish is my command.
This is a panoramic photograph of 恆安邨恆悅樓 Heng On Estate Heng Yuet House spanning a field-of-view (FOV) of 50-degree (H) x 97-degree (V). It is stitched together using 26 RAW capture on the Canon EOS 7D.
No large format camera? No problem—pano to the rescue. As usual, Hugin is used to do the very challenging stitching. Rectilinear project is used here but it does appear to have a little bit of distortion. Will figure out what the problem was. It might have to do with that I shot this handheld.

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

The last I saw Bert + Ernie was when I was still living in New York. When I decided to part with them during my international move to Hong Kong, they have decided to go visit Los Angeles for a year. Thankfully, after a year of traveling arrangement logistics with my sister in LA, they have safely arrived in Hong Kong.
The year alone and away from SML has been well to B+E — as now even Bert is starting to have a smile. Here they were seen holding hands during sunset on some rocks at the beach of Wu Kai Sha, pondering on thoughts that they have shared for so many years.

I was at 大明湖 Daming Lake working on my 中國旅遊 中国旅游 China Tourism photography series but I was fascinated with the diversity of transportation methods on the 明湖西路 Minghu West Road near the entrance.
There are no traffic lights on the road and the only way to cross it is to brave it over—and it is difficult. The video shows how an old man does it, and it takes quite a bit of effort.

彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) is super psyched with the EOS M.
“Wow, this camera is the bomb!” RT said. “Finally there is a camera that I can control. I don’t even need a shutter release. I just point and it focuses. And the mirrorless body is light like me [1]. Best yet, I can even reach the lens for zooming.”
Pictured here with the Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM lens [2], the Canon EOS M is the first mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced by Canon [3]. It is effectively a miniature version of the Canon EOS 650D with a simpler physical interface. Like the 7D, it contains a 18 megapixel APS-C crop frame CMOS chip. But unlike the 7D, it's focusing performance is rather poor.
However its saving grace is its ability to do full HD 1080p videography in AI servo mode—which is what SML now uses for lightweight travel use. Also now semi-permanently mounted on tripod to do videography for the Serenity series. Recommended.

I like color fields. They are also great for designs.
I believe that life celebrates diversity, and I think that photographs of the supposedly same multiples serve as evidence of the same philosophy.

Healthy alternatives for Chinese New Year candies prepared by my 二嬸 auntie when I went over to 拜年 (greetings for the New Year) — a Chinese traditional custom where you visit different families for good luck in the next year.
Incentives for kids to go is that you receive red pockets with $$$ in them. Only people who are married need to give out red pockets—which means that until gay marriage is legalised and SML has a mate, technically speaking SML never had to give out anything and can receive cash “prizes” every year. Like I said, being gay has its perks. :)

Artist Statement
"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

The 嶺大划艇 Lingnan University Rowing Team took their boat out from storage towards the docks to train for a university championship to be held on the next day.
When these boys walk towards me, I would have guessed that they were much younger. But then I noticed the sign on the boat, which reads “Lingnan University,” that’s when I realised that they were in fact university students in Hong Kong.
As they became aware of the camera, a few managed to make the defacto hand-sign in Asia—V for Victory. Personally I would have wished that they would just go about their own business, but I suppose it is very hard to not notice a giant telephoto lens pointing at them from just a few meters away…

Bao yu (鮑魚) is the common Chinese name given to abalone and also the dried seafood product produced from the adductor muscle of abalone. In dried form, it is a highly prized and expensive ingredient used in Chinese cuisine. In certain regional Chinese cuisines, its status ranks with such priced ingredients as shark’s fin, sea cucumber and bird’s nest. Fresh abalone is rarely used in Chinese cuisine. It is usually purchased in dehydrated form and rehydrated prior to cooking.
I eat a lot of these! They are amazing in soups and congees. Although the larger ones can be quite expensive, the smaller ones are affordable and very suitable for everyday cooking. Aside from individual dried forms, you can often find canned versions of these in supermarkets as well. When cooked, most of the sweetness and freshness will be transferred into the cooking liquids, and enlivening all parts of the dish. Highly recommended.
Photographed in Lau Fau Shan (流浮山), Hong Kong.

I have a camera annex in my closet. You won’t see the Canon EOS 7D or the Canon EOS M here because those body is always with me in the camera bag. You also won’t see the 24-70 or the 17-40 here as those are semi-permanent fixture on the 7D and EOS M respectively. What you will find here are, from left to right (approximately):
1. Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash. The perfect flash for the 100 f/2.8, but with limited use. Recommended if you do macro photography, otherwise it is a bit pricey. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/239656-USA/Canon_2357A002_...
2. Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens. Lightweight with amazing lens resolution. Highly recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/183198-USA/Canon_2578A002_...
3. PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver Radio Slave for Canon E-TTL II System. Before the Canon 600EX was introduced, this is the only way to do radio flash. Useful. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605720-REG/PocketWizard_80...
4. PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Canon E-TTL & E-TTL II Systems. This one is mounted on the camera body. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605713-REG/PocketWizard_80...
5. Canon Speedlite 430EX. Pretty good though I am letting my dad use it because differences in power output makes it difficult to do manual strobes with the 580EX. Now replaced by 430EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/571297-USA/Canon_2805B002_...
6. Canon Speedlite 580EX. Super bright goodness. Highly recommended. Now replaced by 580EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/486706-USA/Canon_1946B002_...
7. Canon CP-E4 Compact Battery Pack. Improves flash recycle times by 3 times for the 580EX. Nothing special about it except that it houses 8 more AA batteries so I guess that it just cycles faster. If you use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries it should already be pretty fast. Though Ni-MHx12 is obviously super crazy fast. Recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498738-REG/Canon_1947B001_...
8. Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Autofocus Lens. The non-L lens which has image quality which rivals other L lenses. This is a must-buy. Good for macro as well as portraits. Highly recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/194451-USA/Canon_4657A006_...
9. Canon Angle Finder C. Allows you to adjust viewing angle while providing 1.25x to 2.5x switchable magnification. Super useful for doing macros and other odd camera placement when eyeing from the back is not really possible. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/183200-REG/Canon_2882A001_...
10. Canon EOS 10D. My first DSLR. 6.3 megapixel ACPS-C crop frame goodness. It is at its 60,000+ cycles and still going strong. Used as my spare as well as perms-loan to dad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_10D
11. Canon EOS 100. My first SLR bought by my dad when I went to Yale in 1995. It is my only film camera and yes it still works. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_100
12. Canon PowerShot G12. My point+shoot camera. Highly recommended for photographers but not recommended for amateurs, this shoots JPEG and RAW on SD cards. 10MP CCD sensor with the usual Av / Tv / Manual functions. But for amateurs it can be somewhat daunting—my dad gave up on it and gave it back to me. But he is using the 10D and loving it. This is why I told amateur photographers that they should just get a DSLR because it is easier. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/734743-REG/Canon_4342B001_...
13. Canon PowerShot G2. My first Canon P+S. I loved it. I don’t know if it still works but after moving back to Hong Kong I found something in the memory card taken in 2007. Super awesome. Recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_PowerShot_G
14. Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter. Before Canon got into the radio transmitting game, this is the only wireless off-camera flash controller. (although the MT-24EX also can do that up to 3 groups). The ST-E2 controls up to 2 groups. Super useful is that it emits AF-assist beam in very low-light conditions so I sometimes mount it on the camera even when I don’t use flash. Recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/164264-REG/Canon_2478A002_...

Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese chat with See-ming Lee regarding their new collectible sculptures limited-edition series Deadly Sins. The set of snowglobes are available individually, each of which contain one word from the seven deadly sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride - and represented by a unique color.

Deadly Sins
A new collectible, slated to set the mark as an icon for the 22nd Century - collect all Seven Deadly Sins. Due out by December in an exclusive limited edition set.
Pure Products USA | Ligorano/Reese Collaboration in Art
Towards a Surreal Politik…
In 1992, we began Pure Products of America as a series of multiple editions focusing on the impact of marketing on politics. Over the past 17 years, the series has expanded and now includes 14 pieces running the gamut from snow globes to underwear (our underwear was the first to pack a political message), to happy meals.
Each object is signed and numbered in various sized editions. When we introduce Pure Products, we send some of them as gifts to government officials. Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, members of the Supreme Court and various Senators and Congressional representatives have all received a pure product at one time or another.
Pure Products also function as discreet elements in installations. The installations The Bible Belt, Pillars of the Clean Order, and Steel Nipples incorporated them in sculptural settings with video and other media. In 2001, we expanded on this idea with the inauguration of an online retail website as part of the project.
Each piece is grounded within a framework that satirizes political values and, often, lampoons morality. Some pure products, like Line Up and Contract with America underwear, became media sensations, reported in the press, on television and radio. The commentary surrounding the artwork is a mixture of absurdity and culture jamming, amplifying how much the media interprets and misinterprets contemporary art and blurs the connections between art, activism and commerce.

Bio
NORA LIGORANO and MARSHALL REESE have collaborated together as Ligorano/Reese since the early 80’s. They use collaboration to blend diverse talents into a singular voice and vision. In the process of creating their work, their individual contributions cross and criss-cross between each other from brainstorming to realizing and making the art on location or in the studio.
They use unusual materials and industrial processes to make their limited edition multiples, videos, sculptures and installations, moving easily from dish towels, underwear, and snow globes, to electronic art and computer controlled interactive installations.
They take and manipulate images, audio and text from old media: print, television, radio and combine that with the new: internet and mobile telecommunications. Their pursuit is an ongoing investigation into the impact of technology on culture and the associations and meanings that the media brings to images, language and speech in politics.
They have an interest with using open forms to involve community interaction, like their drawing contests, Crater Bay Area for the 01 Festival in San Jose and Crater New York at Location1. Installations that combine sculpture with public participation in drawing, within the context of a contest that is also streamed on the internet and in Second Life. Their ice sculptures, “Main Street Meltdown” and “The State of Things” share that same sense of open possibility, fusing natural processes of erosion and decay as flexible durations and markers to determine the experience of the work.
Many of their sculptures and installations reinterpret and reexamine older forms of technology - using objects that signify truth, authority and manifest cultural historicity. Ligorano/Reese use mirrors, clocks, metronomes and medieval codex bindings and combine them with video screens. They have invented micro-projection systems to display films on the head of a pin or the counterweight of a metronome.
Since 2004, they’ve investigated portraiture as a construct of social representation. Line Up (2004-5), their series of portraits of Bush administration officials in mug shot, acknowledges that the mug shot is the preeminent form of portraiture now that more people are incarcerated in the U.S. than any other country in the world. In December, 2007, the exhibition of these photos at the New York Public Library caused a firestorm of controversy with heavy rotation on FoxNews, DrudgeReport’s homepage and many, many other publications.
In 2001, they launched www.pureproductsusa.com, the online retail website for their infamous political art series the Pure Products of America. Since 1992, Ligorano/Reese have made 11 multiples in signed editions of 3 to 100. They are best selling editions at Printed Matter, artbook@ps1 and the New Museum store and have prompted, at least on one occasion, the RNC to threaten them with copyright infringement.

The USS Peleliu is currently in Hong Kong. I was made aware of this fact via Billy Clarke—a writer / photographer / journalist I recently met on Instagram. I took the 100-400 with me and took a whole bunch of photos. It is currently parked at Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, and you can get the best view of the ship if you get on the roof where the car park is.
Obviously I saw a ton of photographers there today. Most of them have very wide angle lenses, and for sure I understand why they do, because the USS Peleliu is a large ship. But in usual SML fashion, I am mostly interested in photographing microscope of things of interest to me—and in this case, it’s the gigantic typography on the side of the ship as well as the always spectacular positioning of vehicles hand in the middle of nowhere on the side “facade” of the ship.
The number 5 has a painted drop shadow—which is pretty awesome. Seriously. Crazyisgood!
For those who are curious to see what the marine boys do on the ship, stay tuned—they are coming later in the stream.

Agata Olek (Flickr)
100% Acrylic Art Guards
"I think crochet, the way I create it, is a metaphor for the complexity and interconnectedness of our body and its systems and psychology. The connections are stronger as one fabric as opposed to separate strands, but, if you cut one, the whole thing will fall apart.
Relationships are complex and greatly vary situation to situation. They are developmental journeys of growth, and transformation. Time passes, great distances are surpassed and the fabric which individuals are composed of compiles and unravels simultaneously."
Agata Olek Biography. The SPLAT! of colors hits you in the face, often clashing so ostentatiously that it instantly tunes you into the presence of severely cheeky humor. A moment later the fatigue of labor creeps into your fingers as a coal miner's work ethic becomes apparent. Hundreds of miles of crocheted, weaved, and often recycled materials are the fabric from which the wild and occasionally wearable structures of her fantasylands are born.
Olek was born Agata Oleksiak in Poland and graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland with a degree in cultural studies. In New York, she rediscovered her ability to crochet and since then she has started her crocheted journey/madness.
Resume sniffers may be pleased to know Olek's work has been presented in galleries from Brooklyn to Istanbul to Venice and Brazil, featured in "The New York Times", "Fiberarts Magazine", "The Village Voice", and "Washington Post" and drags a tail of dance performance sets and costumes too numerous to mention.
Olek received the Ruth Mellon Award for Sculpture, was selected for 2005 residency program at Sculpture Space, 2009 residency in Instituto Sacatar in Brazil, and is a winner of apex art gallery commercial competition. Olek was an artist in an independent collective exhibition, "Waterways," during the 49th Venice Biennale. She was also a featured artist in "Two Continents Beyond," at the 9th International Istanbul Biennale.
Olek herself however can be found in her Greenpoint studio with a bottle of spiced Polish vodka and a hand rolled cigarette aggressively re-weaving the world as she sees.
13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

Balancing with the subwoofer [1] as well as the strap for the camera, 彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) mounted the Canon EOS 7D [2] first on the Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip [3] onto the Manfrotto 3030 Pan/Tilt Head with Quick Release [4] on the Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod [5].
“Together with the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM lens [6], this setup weighs more than 1000 times my total weight,” RT said. “My hands cannot really reach the shutter release on the camera, but thankfully the battery grip has another shutter release which allows me to do portrait photography easy. Perfect for me!”
# Notes
1. Canton AS 22 is a 70-Watt, a 220mm woofer, 22-150 Hz frequency response, floor-standing bass-reflex subwoofer. Recommended. canton.de
2. The Canon EOS 7D is an 18.0 effective megapixel APS-C crop CMOS digital single-lens reflex camera made by Canon. Recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_7D
3. BG-E7 grip allows use of 6 AA cells, a single LP-E6 or two LP-E6 batteries. Highly recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_7D
4. Now replaced by the Manfrotto 804RC2 and 200PL-14 QR Plate, 3030 is a popular tripod head made in Italy by Manfrotto. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/434497-REG/Manfrotto_804RC...
5. Newly redesigned, the Manfrotto 190XB is lighter in weight and slightly more compact. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved. Highly recommended. www.manfrotto.com/aluminium-tripod-black-without-head
6. The Canon EF 24–70mm is a family of professional EF mount wide-to-normal zoom lenses manufactured and sold by Canon. The first of the family, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L (pictured), was introduced in 2002 to replace the well-regarded 28-70mm f/2.8L. Two later versions were announced in 2012. Highly recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_24%E2%80%9370mm_lens
