Random find. That's some serious statement right there. Suitably next to a discarded Lime scooter I'm choosing to ignore. Vague, oblique metaphors and such.

I have questions for whoever is responsible for this.

Not quite sure why I thought this was worth sharing. Maybe because someone decided it was worth defacing a building with, and I in turn am defacing your timeline. Or maybe because it made me snort, which lodged my chewing gum down the wrong pipe - how eventful- and I'm trying to feel better by making someone else snort. Or maybe because I'm destined to become one of those people who share memes because "This shit made me laugh, so I'll inflict it on the lot of you. You're welcome." Which makes this a pre-meme.

What can I say. I'm profound like that.

Not even sure what these flowers are, but loved how they stand out, their form and texture

Two photographer friends and I organized a photography exhibition at the Art Ark Gallery in San Jose, California. The Travel Perspectives show ran in September and October 2022. Here I am standing in front of a grid of 9 one-point perspective scenes, all with warm tones. To my right is my artist statement on a poster.

It was a good opportunity to learn how to professionally curate an exhibition, with details like: What is a good layout of the gallery with movable walls? How many prints should be on a wall? How can we make it obvious to visitors who's the artist of a print on the wall? Should we have handouts? Should the price go on the label, or just the handouts? What should in an artist statement? Should prints next to each other have a common theme and style? And so on. We got good advise from Oliver Klink, a well established and well travelled photographer. Overall it took more work than anticipated, but it was well worth it.

We had well attended opening and closing receptions, and we organized 6 talks. Our exhibition had three themes:

- John Gayler goes to places to explore them,

- Peter Thoeny of Quality HDR Photography goes to places to experience them,

- Pam Perkins goes to places to connect with strangers.

We'd love to bring this exhibition to another city. Please let me know if you have any connections. Details of the exhibition at bit.ly/travelpers

I processed a realistic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

"I love this one"

Artist's Statement:

This painting captures the serene yet striking beauty of Bennachie, a local landmark mountain, set against the stillness of winter. The mountain, although central to the landscape, is depicted distantly, preceded by a row of defoliated trees that form the midground of this composition. These trees, stripped of their leaves, stand in stark contrast to the soft, diffused light that filters through them, creating an interplay of light and shadow on the snow-covered field in the foreground.

The snowy field, brushed in subtle tones of blue, grey, and faint purples, reflects the quiet chill of the season, while the sunlight, streaming from the right side of the painting, bathes the scene in a gentle warmth that hints at the promise of spring. The sky, with its random display of colours and expressive brushwork, dissolves into abstraction, allowing the trees' branches to dissolve into tiny twigs and merge with the ethereal background.

My intention was to create a piece that leans into an abstract or impressionist style, where the focus is less on the precise details of the landscape and more on the emotional and atmospheric essence of the scene. Through this approach, I sought to evoke the feeling of winter’s quiet beauty, while allowing the viewer’s imagination to fill in the gaps where detail fades into abstraction.

transgender people have courage like i have never seen in any one group of people before..they face adversaty without fear and show alot of moxie in their quest to follow their dreams of being true to whom they really are in their heart..that is something that should be admired, not destroyed.

every year many transgender people are murdered , many families are left waiting for justice..

the few following examples are quite shocking.. (these are just five out of hundreds)

.

.

Erika Keels (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; 3/22/07) Erika, a 20-year-old black transgender woman, was murdered on March 22, 2007, on North Broad Street in Philadelphia. Witnesses saw an assailant eject Erika from his car and intentionally run her over four times, killing her and leaving the scene. A medical examiner’s report supports these eyewitness accounts. But police ruled Erika’s death an accident and have refused to conduct an investigation. The driver, Roland Button, was later apprehended, but he has yet to face criminal charges–including “hit and run” charges. When Ms. Keels’ friends, who are themselves trans, questioned police officials about the classification of her death as an accident, they were asked to disclose their “birth” names and told they were “trying to make something out of nothing.”

.

.

.

Duanna Johnson, a 40-year-old African American transgender woman. In February 2008, Duanna was picked up and arrested by Memphis, Tennessee, police officers Bridges McRae and J. Swain. She was pinned down and beaten by the two men in a Memphis police jail after she refused to respond to anti-gay and anti-transgender slurs. The assault was captured on video, which aired on several regional newscasts. In an interview given to FOX 13, Duanna spoke about her experiences. “As [Officer McRae] was calling me, he said ‘hey he-she, come over here’” Johnson told FOX 13 reporters, “I knew he couldn’t be talking to me because that’s not my name.” Duanna Johnson received national media attention this past June when she went public about the brutality she suffered at the hands of two Memphis Police Officers. She became “the public face of our community’s campaign against racism, homophobia, and transphobia” according to a statement from the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center. On Monday Nov 10, according to news reports, Duanna was shot “execution style” between Hollywood and Staten Avenue in Memphis, Tenn.[21]

.

.

.

Angie Zapata was a trans woman who was murdered on July 17, 2008, in Greeley, Colorado. Her death was the first ever case involving a transgender victim to be ruled a hate crime.[23] Colorado is one of only eleven states that protect transgender victims under hate crime laws in the United States. Allen Andrade, who learned eighteen-year-old Angie was transgender after meeting her and spending several days with her, beat her to death with a fire extinguisher. In his arrest affidavit, Andrade calls Zapata "it",[24] and during his trial a tape was played of a phone conversation in which he told his girl friend "gay things need to die".[25] Andrade's attorneys used a gay panic defense, implying that Andrade suddenly "snapped" when he learned Zapata was not born biologically female. On April 22, 2009, Andrade was found guilty of first degree murder, hate crimes, and car/ID theft. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[26]

.

.

.

Tyra Hunter (1970 – August 7, 1995) was an African-American transsexual woman who died after being injured as a passenger in a car accident and refused medical care.[1][2] Emergency medical technicians at the scene of the accident uttered derogatory epithets and withdrew medical care after discovering that she had male genitalia, and ER staff at DC General Hospital subsequently provided dilatory and inadequate care.

.

.

.

Gwen Araujo of Newark, California (died October 2002), an American teenage trans woman, was killed by four men, two of whom she had been raped by, who beat and strangled her after discovering she was transsexual.[7][8][9] Two of the defendants were convicted of second-degree murder,[10] but not convicted on the requested hate crime enhancements. The other two defendants pleaded guilty or no contest to voluntary manslaughter. In at least one of the trials, a trans panic defense - an extension of the gay panic defense - was employed.[10][11]
