Dean Russo chats with Mac Farr (MMF) (Flickr) about where he gets his inspiration — graffiti in Brooklyn apparently!

This video was recorded at the artist's studio during the 13th Annual Art Under the Bridge Festival organized by the Dumbo Arts Center in New York City in 2009.

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)

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.

A man training for soccer inside the hard-surfaced soccer pitch at the Ma On Shan Recreation Grounds on a foggy afternoon.

This photo was stitched using 5 RAW captures. The bars blocked the view somewhat on the right but depending on use I guess it is possible to either crop the center to see the context for the buildings around the soccer pitch, or crop low to show the full soccer pitch. So I kept it. As usual, this was photographed for personal stock use.

I am learning more about the Hugin stitcher. Apparently by default it will mask out everything which is not in every frame, but it is possible to include areas of interest—so it is in fact possible to do multiple exposure if I wish to. For this photo I included the guy because it adds life to the photograph. But it is just as easy to leave him out. Lots of fun — all in an open source program. Highly recommended!

“警輪51 Police Launch 51” / 寧 Serenity / SML.20130131.7D.20782 by See-ming Lee

The 警輪 Police Launch No 51 rushes briskly by at the 沙田海 Sha Tin Hoi in Hong Kong outside SML Universe HKG. I love these ships. I have always wanted to get the model boats when I was little but my parents deemed model boats to not be “educational” enough so I don’t get to play with them. My mom said me that if I want a model boat I should make one from scratch from wood. Although I did do a lot of things which she asked me, I never figured out how to make a boat from scratch so I never did.

For more seriously wtf things which my mom made me do when I was little, see: blog.seeminglee.com/2007/09/moms.html

“聖府” (圣府 “Holy Mansion”) / 山東省曲阜孔府聖府大門匾额山东省曲阜孔府圣府大门匾额 Plaque at the main entrance, Confucius Mansion, Qufu City, Shandong Province / 中國旅遊中国旅游 China Tourism / SML.20121010.7D.09201.P1.C45 by See-ming Lee

The main reason we picked 山東省 Shandong Province as our first destination to travel to for the “中國旅遊中国旅游 China Tourism” project was to visit the 孔府 Confucius Mansion.

# 孔府 (Kǒng fǔ) [1]

孔府 (Confucius Mansion / Kǒng fǔ) , also known as 聖公府 (shèng gōng fǔ), is located in 曲阜市 Qufu City in the 山東省 Shandong Province of 中國 China. It is the residence mansion of the Confucius family.

The 孔府 Confucius Mansion, the 孔廟 Confucius Temple, and the 孔林 Confucius Cemetery [2] are collectively known as the 「三孔」“three Confucius”. They are part of China’s key protected cultural relics, and is listed as part of the World Cultural Heritage in December 1994.

孔府，又稱衍聖公府，位於中國山東省曲阜市，是孔子的世襲衍聖公的後代居住的府第。孔府與曲阜孔廟、孔林合稱「三孔」，是中國重點文物保護單位，1994年12月被列為世界文化遺產。

# 聖府大門

聖府大門 (圣府大门 “Holy Mansion Grand Entrance” Shèng fǔ dàmén) is the main door to the 孔府 Confucius Mansion, which was designed in the style of 懸山式建築 (悬山式建筑 “hanging cliff styled architecture” Xuán shān shì jiànzhú)[2].

The two characters “聖府” (圣府 “Holy House” Shèng fǔ) were written on the 匾額 (匾额 “plaque”) [3]. It was written by 嚴嵩 (严嵩 Yan Song [4]) from the 明朝 (Ming Dynasty) [5].

[6 / SML Translate]

聖府大門就是曲阜孔府的大門，聖府為三間五檁懸山式建築 [2]，匾書“聖府”二字，是明朝嚴嵩聖府大門所書。[6 / Google Translate]

An Asian waterbird found a piece of trash floating on Tolo Harbour for a brief rest during the stormy weather in Hong Kong.

These birds are currently being protected by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) as well as the WWF.

I saw a lot of them last year outside my window and had thought that they were seagulls, but a Swedish friend on Facebook corrected me on this. I had no idea that they are so rare.

This is an extreme crop because while I tried many times to photograph them on the sea level, I could not and so I photographed this one from the 27th floor.

Hopefully I will see more of these later this year.

Usually car parks are built underground. But here in Hong Kong, some car parks are built above ground high up in buildings.

I don’t really know why this is, but I would reason that it might have to do with structural engineering. Most of the lands in Wan Chai were landfilled. There are also a huge networks of tunnels connecting all kinds of MTR lines underneath the downtown area. So it may be more economical and structurally sound to just build the car parks upstairs instead of downstairs. Thus creating these rather uncommon sights.

The aerial view makes for some truly spectacular photography. Now with the new 1.4x extended, I can really get close to the action. People photographed this way will always be anonymous, so it should relieve some of the pain I had when photographing humans, meanwhile the perspective is quite wonderful from this perspective.

Peter Zummo, Arthur’s Landing at the New Museum / 20090911.10D.53660 / SML by See-ming Lee

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Zummo

www.myspace.com/peterzummo

Peter Zummo (born 1948) is an American composer and musician. He plays the trombone, valve trombone, euphonium, synthesizer, other electronic instruments, and also sings. His music is associated with the postminimalist and Downtown aesthetics.

He holds a PhD in ethnomusicology, a B.A. degree (with honors) in music (1970) and an M.A. degree in music (1975), all from Wesleyan University. He has studied with Carmine Caruso, Roswell Rudd, Stuart Dempster, James Fulkerson, Dick Griffin, Makanda Ken McIntyre, and Sam Rivers.

In his playing, Zummo frequently uses the circular breathing technique, which allows him to extend drones for a long period of time. He is a core member of New York City's DownTown Ensemble and has performed and/or recorded with John Lurie's Lounge Lizards, Daniel Goode, Arthur Russell, and Guy Klucevsek.

About the photograph

Technically "wrong" but oh so satisfying portrait...

This is what happens when there's no light, no tripod and not allowed to strobe! The photograph was taken with Canon EOS 10D with the Canon 24-70 f2.8L, f/2.8, 1/60 sec, ISO 3200 so I have to get creative on how to develop the photo...

01 It's a Boy

Arthurs Landing is a group of musicians, all of whom worked at various times in various contexts with the late Arthur Russell, a cellist and composer from Iowa who lived on the Lower East Side for most of the later part of his too-short life. Russell brought together the worlds of dance, pop, and folk with that of downtowns new music, and fused Western and Eastern musical traditions, driven by his engagement with Buddhist thought and practice. He collaborated often with Allen Ginsberg, and Phillip Glass was also an early mentor. Characteristic of Russell's method was his tendency to work hard and long, and he rarely considered anything finished. What was his unending pursuit of the ineffable becomes a challenge and inspiration for the Arthurs Landing ensemble. It is hard to resist the ambition and humor behind compositions with titles like Temple of Meaning, Terrace of Intelligibility, and Hop on Down to Petland. Russell is the focus of the feature-length 2008 documentary directed by Matt Wolf, Wild Combination. A biography by Tim Lawrence, Hold Onto Your Dreams, is due out this year.

The Arthurs Landing ensemble will perform pop songs and parts of a longer instrumental work called Singing Tractors and will be available following the performance to answer questions about Russells life and work.

“半空著陸 Mid-air landing” / Sunday League: Hong Kong Falcon vs Paulista / 香港足球 Hong Kong Football (Soccer) / SML.20130428.6D.03596 by See-ming Lee

I have always wanted to photograph men in flight, and I considered photographing dancers—but it seems that even though football is played mostly on the ground, there are plenty of opportunities when the human forms is in mid air.

Pictured is Marti Rosell [1] (Hong Kong Falcon Football Club #3)’s soft landing after he has headed the ball.

You see why I don’t do studio photography? Try asking the model to pose like that—impossible. Some forms just need to be natural, and you can’t beat live action sports.

I couldn’t find Paulita’s information on the web so I cannot identify their players on the field.

Just finished a week long interaction design consulting with a New York client. Super psyched with the result. Happy clients + awesome projects = best happiness biohack for life.

Meanwhile, it looks like that this new toy will soon arrive at SML Universe HKG. I am currently reconfiguring living space to house this giant toy so I can print my panoramic photography in sizes where I can see the actual subjects.

Super awesome. Crazyisgood.

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)

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 beauty of utilitarian forms continues. This is the view down under the MTR (Hong Kong’s metro) bridge at Heng On station in Ma On Shan. The only way to photograph this in its entirety is via panoramic photography because there is simply no lens this wide.

Often photographs don’t work because everything feels very “framed”. Here the pedestrians are on the either side of this extreme FOV which leads the eye out of the frame, and I think that photographs which do these are generally more successful.

This panorama is stitched using 16 5184 x 3456 RAW images and resulting in a 10916 x 4411 image which spans 179-degree field of view (FOV) horizontally and 79-degree FOV vertically.

You can use a fisheye, I guess, but you will still be limited by resolution. Not to mention that fish eye lenses will distort the image and I prefer vertical lines because straight lines.

Stitched using Hugin 2012’s Panini projection.

With the recent success doing handheld pano with Hugin 2012, I tried my hands at some handheld vertical panorama today.

This was taken on the path which I take to walk to the Ma On Shan Promenade. The buildings on the top right is 聽濤雅苑 Vista Paradiso, where SML Universe HKG is. The architectural complex to the left is 錦豐苑 Kam Fung Court—a series of public housing estates in Hong Kong. The forms you see in the middle is a primary school, as you should no doubt recognise by now from my photography of schools. The mountain in the background is 馬鞍山 Ma On Shan. And that’s not an airplane in the sky, it was a bird in the midst of flight.

This is a stitch of 12 RAW captures stitched together using the Trans Mercator projection so the buildings are not straight as it should, but it is the best projection I have tried out which would tile this well without losing too much materials in the process.

“Twelve South Hover Bar + Ableton Live + Griid Pro” #music #tools #opinions / SML.20130123.IPH5.SQ.Opinions by See-ming Lee

So the Hover Bar kept on getting better. I have now found it to be most useful in controlling music surface. Here shown again with Griid Pro and the Ableton Live set of Orphion Ping Pong on the Dell U2711 monitor.

The great thing about the arm is that I can position it where my left hand rests way out from the desk. No more holding the 1.5 lb iPad 3 with two hands. Now this is how controllers should be. It is also useful with other music apps I own. Vibration is still an issue but otherwise I do recommend it.

This is working so well that I am thinking of having monitor arms for all my monitors now.

Photographed with iPhone 5, processed in Snapseed on the iPad.

Skyscrapers and reflections are fun—especially through a layer of glass with dotted patterns. I don’t really know the reason for it—maybe it shields heat better this way? I will ask an architect and get back to you on that. For now I am just glad that the camera has enough resolution to not turn all that into a moire mess.

Art+Artists: Todd Lehman / Walter Wickiser Gallery: The New Abstractionists II: Opening Reception / 20100130.7D.02470.L1.CC / SML by See-ming Lee

Todd Lehman – Artist Statement

Nineteenth-century English critic Walter Pater said that all art aspires to be music. More recently, in a ''New York Times'' interview, Spanish painter Antoni Tapies said, "One should compare modern art to music." Who can argue with that? Abstract painting then is about visual noise and energy-and about the beauty of silence-all of which are certainly related to music.

While I sometimes work on large canvases, I prefer the hard surface of paper and often collage newspaper or various handmade papers, including rice papers, into a painting. Tools? Brushes, of course, but also a variety of scraping and scratching tools.

What inspires my paintings? Two things-landscape and architecture. Well, maybe three things. The energy of New York City is inescapable. We New Yorkers are addicted to the visual noise and drive of the city, but for obvious reasons we relish moments of solitude and meditation. So my paintings are sometimes like a raucous traffic jam, other times like the quiet of a leaf falling in a Japanese garden. They are the pages of a visual autobiography.

“滑浪風帆 Windsurfing” / 香港水上運動 Hong Kong Water Sports / SML.20130406.7D.37521.C23 by See-ming Lee

1 1

Previously I have mistaken some mini yachting activities as windsurfing. I stand corrected. But this is windsurfing for sure.

My lens is not long enough so it is cropped. I also noticed that since the 70-400 f/4L I have is the non-IS edition, it does have some limits on this far end.

So I have ordered the 100-400 f/5.6L IS today. Oddly the reseller said that they do not have a lot of stock so I have to wait, but hopefully soon!

Thank You for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day (Wearable Sculpture) by Agata Olek / Art in Odd Places 2009: SIGN, New York City / 20091010.10D.55153.P1.L1.C45 / SML by See-ming Lee

Thank you for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.

Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam

Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham

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."
