Freedom of expression is a privilege that Canadians all enjoy, though perhaps not all of us as vehemently, as this gent here.

the world is my subject. the camera is my medium. the computer is the canvas. and you are my audience.
Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

not one to take photos of random strangers on the street, but I couldn't help it...
Toronto, for the most part is pretty "tame".
Not too many um... "personalities" let's say, especially in the theatre/business district around TIFF Lightbox and Roy Thompson hall. So it was "refreshing" to see someone express themselves in such an open way, let's say! LOL
Yes, I was paparazzi to the not-so-rich and famous! LOL
if you find this too distasteful, let me know and I'll ummmm... i dunno. remove it? LOL

I picked up some old newspapers and tried creating this flower by doodling irregular circles using a purple highlighter which I later smudged with a wet paintbrush. After it dried, I doodled over with a black fine point sign pen. I tried to be as free form as I can with the whole piece, cutting in an abstract fashion as well. The leaves and the stem were more deliberate after I found a rather huge graphic in blue and green which I used and then pasted to an extra sheet and then painted in outline with green watercolor. For the background, I picked a plain section of the newspaper which I painted in blue, pasted on to a support/backing sheet and then I trimmed and then created my collage.
The word art came much, much later as I couldn't decide what exactly I wanted to put there. BELIEVE somehow came naturally as I just sat and reflected on what one word I would want to put on t his particular piece, my favorite to date. I tried to find scripture about how God takes care of the flowers and so we must not worry about how He takes care of us, but I found it a little over reaching to actually put that in. So I let it be.
Thus ends my January, and on to the next challenge, where, I hope to create 28 hearts.
As the saga of my packing continues, I decided to take my daily photo today with one of my most prized works of art. I found this gem at the Vatican Museum, in the way to view the Sistine Chapel, while in Rome. It is a lith-silkscreen on hand made paper. I carefully carried it on the rest of my trip and then brought it home and had it professionally framed. I really like the end result and it means so much to me.
My undergrad degree is in Art History and I spent 3 weeks traveling through Italy and France to see a great deal of the art work I had studied in college. So many masterpieces brought me to tears.
Michelangelo is one of my 3 most favorite artists of all time. I bought opera glasses so I could use them in the Sistine Chapel to be able to view all of the detail of the ceiling and the wall. I must have sat there for an hour as groups filed in and left, while the guard kept repeating "Silenzio" as these slack-jawed travelers walked into this sacred chapel talking loudly, looking up, and moving on.
With this shot, I pay homage to the Italian Master!

This product is made with hand crafted paper using the centuries old technique of soaking the hemp and then mixing it with other plant fibers, earthen materials, and natural pigments. The paper mixture is spread on a frame to flatten and then dried in open air. The new paper is then worked by hand and printed with the art image.

This photograph is from the Robert Hope collection.
Robert Hope was a resident of Newcastle upon Tyne. In the early 1970s he took out a bank loan to buy a Rolleiflex camera.
Over the next few years he photographed various Newcastle scenes, including the Grainger Market and the demolition of housing estates in the West End of the city.
Robert Hope died in 2001.
Thanks to Steven Hope for donating the collection to Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.

Do you really expect me to describe what you see?
It´s another exquisitely sculpured freeform creation,
better enjoy what you might discover in the Mirrors of Arcadia instead, - watch out, they are inside you, be patient......
Ok...I was bored at work this morning...but I think Rubber Band Man is kinda cute!

Dec 1924. A group of blind people in various costumes (shepherds and angels) in a yard beside some large corrugated iron buildings. The photo is asociated with the photos of visits to Sunderland Museum by Sunderland Council School for the Blind, this will be a nativity play they were in.
“To them, their fingers are eyes”
From 1913, John Alfred Charlton Deas, a former curator at Sunderland Museum, organised several handling sessions for the blind, first offering an invitation to the children from the Sunderland Council Blind School, to handle a few of the collections at Sunderland Museum, which was ‘eagerly accepted’.
