Today I visited the Imperial War Museum (especially floors 2 and 3.) John Singer Sargent's late masterpiece Gassed finished March 1919 . It depicts the aftermath of a mustard gas attack during the First World War, with a line of wounded soldiers walking towards a dressing station. Sargent was commissioned by the British War Memorials Committee to document the war and visited the Western Front in July 1918 spending time with the Guards Division near Arras. The painting is a harrowing scene depicting the ugliness of war and its victims, it references Pieter Bruegel the Elder's The Parable of the Blind leading the blind of 1568. If you are in London you should go and see this powerful work.
On a happier note I visited my friend Kate Wilson and her show "Total Rubbish." The paintings although depicting rubbish were very far from rubbish, but a powerful comment on what is often discarded or seen as waste. In some ways there is a sort of link with Sargent and the human detritus of war.
Ostad Shahram Nazeri and Madakto Orchestra
Shahrām Nāzeri (Persian: شهرام ناظری) (born February 18, 1950 in Kermānshāh, Iran) is an undisputed icon of Persian classical and Sufi music and Ostad (master) of Persian traditional music. He is one of Iran's most respected vocalists.
Shahram Nazeri born in a Kurdish musical family in Kermanshah, west of Iran. He started studying music at an early age. His musical talents were first nurtured by his mother at a very young age. Throughout his childhood, he was under the tutelage of the most renowned masters of Persian music including Abdollah Davami, Nour Ali Boroumand and Mahmood Karimi. Besides, has studied playing Setar with masters of Setar such as Ahmad Ebadi, Bigjeh-Khani, and Jalal Zolfonoun. He is said to have started singing in public at the age of eight. At eleven, he performed on television for the first time. By twenty-nine, he had gained a loyal fan base. He has continued to perform in Iran and abroad.
My favourite shot from the Plano Balloon Festival (see set). We'd all gone on the second day, arrived around noon. We waited and waited until after 5PM before any action even happened. Then a couple hours of waiting and a couple balloons later, it was announced that due to high winds no more ballooons would take off. It was starting to get dark, and most people left. As we were about to leave as well, we saw this balloon being filled and we rushed near it. The long wait was well worth it, it gave me this picture! I took this shot lying down in a completely prone position below and just a few feet away from the balloon, looking up, as I felt the heat from the burners.
This is an HDR tone-mapped image, I did that to get detail both inside and outside the balloon as well as some color in the sky!
You can see the same ballooon in my friend Jhinuk's stream
One of my dearest contacts is Geza Singer. Tom was lucky enough to buy his Oly XZ-1 when he was in London about 2 weeks ago and they met. My loss that I was not there. I admire Geza's work tremendously and he continues to inspire me, encourage me and make me look at things from new perspectives. I have learnt a lot about 'schmocus' from him (cannot do it like he does.......). Okay so here's a summer schmocus with grasses, comfrey and beans.
Geza is here

have a good Thursday everyone. Our new nanny has been beaten up by her brother so I am off to the doctor with her now.
Update on Amanda: she has been to see the doctor who took particulars, measured bruises and will submit a report to the police when Amanda lays a charge. The tenderness and kindness of this medical practitioner is in stark contrast to the brother's violent actions this morning.

A beautiful singer busking around Granville Island. Taken during a photo walk around Vancouver. She was great to listen to and had a lovely voice.

This is the Singer 500A, which was a fancy machine in its day - the Singer company itself considered it "the greatest sewing machine ever built." Singer enthusiasts have nick-named it "The Rocketeer" because of its retro-futuristic styling. It can do lots of decorative stitches and can take a double needle for attractive top stitching. It's the machine my mother had when I was growing up. According to the serial number, this one was made in 1961.
