"Understanding Society" is the main theme of Tilburg University in the southern province of Noord Brabant of The Netherlands. But there's only so much 'understanding' a visiting committee can take in at one sitting. So we went on a couple of pleasant walks through the spaciously laid out campus. There's a wonderful, rectangular pond with modern sculpture, and walking in the low, bright sun rays this view delighted our eyes: truly Blazing Autumnal Waters. My precise little Sony T900 recorded what we saw as faithfully as I remember it...
A bit facetiously it might be added that the ciitzens of Tilburg are proud to ply their once offensive nickname of "Kruikezeikers" (Pot-pissers). Tilburg grew from various impoverished hamlets where sheep grazing was the main occupation. The wool was then shipped out to other places. But in early-modern times, households began their own wool industry, taking textile making into their own hands, as it were. Hardly a home could be found without a loom. Industry-size millhouses were established in the nineteenth century, and Tilburg became the wool and textile capital of the Netherlands. In former times, urine was necessary for wool-processing, and it was collected in earthenware jars. Hence that Tilburg epitheton (now fashionably) ornans!
Incidentally, it was this kind of industry that Karl Marx decried in the nineteenth century and led him to write "Das Kapital". Students of the then still Catholic University in 1969 for a short time effected a change of name for their institution, calling it Karl Marx Universiteit.
Whatever the case, after our little stretching of the legs we again turned to "Understanding Society".
the scribbled hearts sim is undergoing some changes that we're super excited about :)

Understanding how to grow algae in space might be the key to a successful closed life support system in future spacecraft. And it helps us to better understand Earth's eco system, too.
Zu verstehen, wie man Algen im Weltraum züchten kann, könnte der Schlüssel zu einem funktionierenden geschlossenen Lebenserhaltungssystem in zukünftigen Raumschiffen sein. Und noch dazu hilft es uns, das Ökosystem unserer Erde besser zu verstehen.

La première grande rétrospective après la mort de l'artiste Jörg Immendorff, décédé en 2007, s'est déroulée jusqu'au 27 janvier à la Haus der Kunst de Munich. L'œuvre centrale de cette exposition à succès était la sculpture monumentale « Près de la porte de Brandebourg – Question mondiale », prêtée par le Ludwig Forum for International Art. Aujourd'hui, l'œuvre de 4,5 tonnes est revenue « à la maison » et est désormais exposée en permanence dans le hall du Ludwig Forum. Depuis l'ouverture du Ludwig Forum for International Art Aix-la-Chapelle, la grande sculpture en bronze de Jörg Immendorff représente la compréhension de l'art du nouveau musée : l'œuvre « Près de la porte de Brandebourg - Question du monde » a été exposée à la documenta 7 en 1982 et a ensuite été achetée du couple de collectionneurs d'Aix-la-Chapelle Peter et Irene Ludwig
L'œuvre monumentale de Jörg Immendorff « Près de la porte de Brandebourg - Question mondiale » a trois niveaux de signification : il s'agit d'une interface symboliquement visualisée de blocs de pouvoir politiques mondiaux, d'un mémorial historique et d'une expression de l'histoire personnelle de l'artiste.
The first major retrospective after the death of the artist Jörg Immendorff, who died in 2007, ran until January 27 at the Haus der Kunst in Munich. The central work of this successful exhibition was the monumental sculpture “Near the Brandenburg Gate – World Question”, on loan from the Ludwig Forum for International Art. Today, the 4.5 ton work has come “home” and is now on permanent display in the lobby of the Ludwig Forum. Since the opening of the Ludwig Forum for International Art Aachen, the large bronze sculpture by Jörg Immendorff has represented the new museum's understanding of art: the work “Near the Brandenburg Gate - Question of the World” was exhibited at documenta 7 in 1982 and was later purchased from the Aachen collector couple Peter and Irene Ludwig
Jörg Immendorff's monumental work “Near the Brandenburg Gate - World Question” has three levels of meaning: it is a symbolically visualized interface of global political power blocs, a historical memorial and a expression of the artist's personal history.

My understanding is that in Parque Patagonia Guanacos are born in December and January, making this one about eleven months old. That, I believe, still makes it young enough to qualify as a Chulengo (baby Guanaco).
If December and January are birthing season for this animal, then November seems to be fightin' time. While it was nice to get some Guanaco portraits, what I missed was capturing the drama of two males locked in combat.
The way to do this would be to approach a herd, be ready with a zoom lens (maybe a 100-400mm) and wait for trouble to start. From a distance we saw lots of chasing and fighting, but were never at the right place and time to secure excellent images of the action.

Thank you all for understanding
Is a country in Western Asia located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area.[6] Also adjacent are the West Bank to the east and Gaza Strip to the southwest. Israel is the world's only predominantly Jewish state with a population of about 7.5 million people, of whom approximately 5.7 million are Jewish. The largest ethnic minority group is the segment denominated as Arab citizens of Israel, while minority religious groups include Muslims, Christians, Druze, Samaritans, most of whom are found within the Arab segment.
The modern state of Israel has its historical and religious roots in the Biblical Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), also known as Zion, a concept central to Judaism since ancient times, and the heartland of the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Following the birth of political Zionism in 1897 and the Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations granted Great Britain the Mandate for Palestine after World War I, with responsibility for establishing "...such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion..."
In November 1947, the United Nations voted in favor of the partition of Palestine, proposing the creation of a Jewish state, an Arab state and a UN-administered Jerusalem. Partition was accepted by Zionist leaders but rejected by Arab leaders leading to the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine. Israel declared independence on 14 May 1948 and neighboring Arab states attacked the next day. Since then, Israel has fought a series of wars with neighboring Arab states, and in consequence occupies territories beyond those delineated in the 1949 Armistice Agreements. Some international borders remain in dispute. Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, though efforts to resolve conflict with the Palestinians have so far only met with limited success.
Israel is a developed country and a representative democracy with a parliamentary system and universal suffrage. The Prime Minister serves as head of government and the Knesset serves as Israel's legislative body. The economy, based on the nominal gross domestic product, was the 41st-largest in the world in 2008. Israel ranks highest among Middle Eastern countries on the UN Human Development Index, and has one of the highest life expectancies in the world. Jerusalem is the country's capital, although it is not recognized internationally as such,[a] while Israel's main financial center is Tel Aviv.
Etymology
Over the past three thousand years, the name "Israel" has meant in common and religious usage both the Land of Israel and the entire Jewish nation. According to the Bible, Jacob is renamed Israel after successfully wrestling with an angel of God.
The earliest archaeological artifact to mention "Israel" (other than as a personal name) is the Merneptah Stele of ancient Egypt (dated the late 13th century BCE), which refers to a people of that name. The modern country was named Medinat Yisrael, or the State of Israel, after other proposed names, including Eretz Israel ("the Land of Israel"), Zion, and Judea, were rejected. In the early weeks of independence, the government chose the term "Israeli" to denote a citizen of Israel, with the formal announcement made by Minister of Foreign Affairs Moshe Sharett.

Meaning country name:
Israel takes its name from the biblical patriarch Jacob, later known as Israel, literally meaning "struggled with God/he struggles with God". According to the account in the Book of Genesis, Jacob wrestled with a stranger (in later tradition said to have been an angel) at a river ford and won through perseverance. God then changed his name to Israel signifying that he had deliberated with God and won as he had wrestled and won with men.
Description Flag:
The flag of Israel was adopted on October 28, 1948, five months after the country's establishment. It depicts a blue Star of David on a white background, between two horizontal blue stripes. The blue color is mandated only as "dark sky-blue", and varies from flag to flag, ranging from a hue of pure blue, sometimes shaded almost as dark as navy blue, to hues about 75% toward pure cyan and shades as light as very light blue. The flag was designed for the Zionist Movement in 1891. The basic design recalls the Tallit, the Jewish prayer shawl, which is white with blue stripes. The hexagram in the centre is the Magen David ("shield of David"). It became a Jewish symbol starting in late medieval Prague, and was adopted by the First Zionist Congress in 1897.
Coat of arms:
The coat of arms of Israel shows a menorah surrounded by an olive branch on each side, and the writing "ישראל" (Hebrew for Israel) below it. While the background of the emblem is always blue, the menorah and olive branches can be either white or golden. The white-on-blue version appears on the presidential standard, while the gold-on-blue version is the common one when showing the emblem independently.
The State of Israel adopted its coat of arms after a design competition held in 1948. The design is based on the winning entry submitted by Gabriel and Maxim Shamir's proposal, with elements taken from other submissions, such as Oteh Walisch and W. Struski's and Itamar David and Yerachmiel Schechter's entries.
The image seems as if borrowed from the Zachariah (chapter 4); "I looked and behold a golden menorah with a bowl upon the top of it and seven lamps to it…and there are two olive trees by it, one upon the right of the bowl the other upon the left." However it is unclear whether this resemblance is intended or merely coincidental. The Shamir brothers did not mention this passage from Zachariah as the source of their design, even though they gave detailed account on their work in an interview to Maariv (February 16, 1949).
The menorah has been a symbol of Judaism for almost 3000 years. It was used in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. The olive branches symbolize peace.

Título :: Title :: Titre ::: Fecha (Date): Plato con 40 años :: Plate 40 years old :: Plateau avec 40 ans ::: 2015/04/04 18:19
(Es). Historia: León. España. Hay dos cosas importantes en esta imagen: el bollo sueco de cardamomo (receta de Ibán Yarza) y el plato. La receta es excelente, el resultado sorprendente, sabor, textura y delicadeza.
El plato es importante por su historia personal. 40 años atrás en Alemania mis padres trabajaban en una Base Militar de la OTAN. Les oía decir que la vajilla que se usaba en los comedores militares era de una calidad que nunca antes habían visto en España. En aquellos años 60 no era normal tener acceso a estos productos en España, antes de irse a trabajar como emigrantes a Alemania, y les sorprendían. Se podían calentar a elevadas temperaturas introduciéndolos en el horno y no rompían, con gran consistencia y espesor, acompañados de unos grabados que no se quitaban después de muchos lavados en aquellos enormes lavavajillas. Mi hermano y Yo, con aquellos años, no comprendíamos su sorpresa..¡Era sólo un plato! ¿No?. Pues ya está, un plato.
Pero alguno de aquellos platos llegaron a España con nuestra vuelta a casa. Hoy, después de esos 40 años, más los que la vajilla tuviera antes, siguen estando casi como estaban; han perdido un poco del grabado y eso es todo lo que han dejado en el camino. Si se caen al suelo se desprenden muchas esquirlas extremadamente pequeñas, finas, agudas, difíciles de localizar y con un poder cortante muy alto, lo que las convierte en bastante peligrosas. Algunas de ellas aparecen meses después en alguna rendija allí donde los armarios se unen con el suelo. Algunos años después, cuando por los estudios que cursaba tenía mucho contacto con elementos de vidrio en el Laboratorio de Microbiología, conocí técnicamente el origen de su calidad. Por detrás estaba indicado el origen de las sorpresas: "Pyrex® Tableware by Corning. Made in USA". Hace esos casi 50 años aquello no era habitual en España.
El bollo de cardamomo es lo otro importante. Recomiendo el libro de Ibán Yarza: Pan Casero. Hace meses que ya no compro pan por culpa de ese libro. A poco que comiences a hacer tu pan en casa, quitándote ese miedo infundado a amasar, a tener masa madre, a poner cosas sorprendente dentro del pan… entonces verás que el pan es una de esas cosas importantes y divertidas que te has perdido si no lo haces tu mismo. No lleva tanto tiempo como se piensa, si tienes panificadora gran parte del proceso lo puede hacer ella sola cuando Tú no tienes ese tiempo, te permite panes con diversidad de combinaciones, especias, introduciendo verduras… Cuando llegó la panificadora a casa lo primero que me dijeron es: "¿A dónde iba con ese trasto? Lo vas a usar dos veces y luego acabará en un rincón". Hoy ha desplazado el espacio de la Thermomix que sólo se saca en el momento en que se va a usar, porque el sitio ahora está reservado para "el aparato que ayuda a hacer el pan y la masa de la repostería"… ¡Ah!, también puede hacer mermelada.
La masa de esos bollos se puede hacer a mano, pero ese día tenía un heridas en varios dedos debido al frío de las noches que salgo con Fray y la hice con la panificadora, luego el cocido fue en el horno donde la bollería sueca es diferente a la tradicional española: en este caso el horno suele cocer a 250 grados durante 6 o 7 minutos. Hay que estar vigilando el proceso casi sentado delante del horno o se quemarán. Llevan harina, levadura, azúcar blanco, azúcar moreno (a ser posible mascabado), sal, leche con mantequilla, semilla de cardamomo molidos, huevo para pintar y opcionalmente comino y almendra laminada. En 2 o 3 intentos le coges el punto y… puedes llegar a coger mucho peso, o hacer que lo cojan los demás.
Toma: Estaba con el ordenador y el hambre comenzaba a rondarme. Fui a la cocina y me acordé de que los había hecho el día antes. Tomé uno, el plato y volví al ordenador. Lo puse a la derecha, debajo de la lámpara y mientras lo miraba para comenzar a dar cuenta de él me vino a la mente la historia del plato. Aparté un poco el teclado, coloqué mejor la lámpara, preparé un poco la escena con algunas sombras dejando el reflejo y brillo de la bombilla y me fui a por la Fuji FinePix SL1000. Después, lentamente, fue acabándose el bollo. No hubo migas.
Tratamiento: Con Aperture. Original en JPG. El formato lo adapto para colocar el objeto ligeramente a la derecha, cortando el brillo de la bombilla. Oscurezco toda la escena para dar relevancia al plato. Modifico los histogramas por colores para marcar mejor el verde del grabado. Elevo ligeramente la vibración de color.
¡Eso es todo amigos!
(En). The History: León. Spain. There are two important things in this image: the Swedish bun of cardamomo (Ibán Yarza's recipe) and the plate. The recipe is excellent, the surprising result, flavor, texture and sensitivity.
The plate is important for his personal history. 40 years behind in Germany my parents were employed at a Military Base of the NATO. It heard them saying that the china that was used in the military dining rooms was of a quality that before they had never seen in Spain. In those years 60 it was not normal to have access to these products in Spain, before to being going to work as emigrants to Germany, and they were surprising them. They could warm up to high temperatures introducing them in the oven and they were not breaking, with great consistency and thickness, accompanied of a few engravings that were not eliminated after many washes in those enormous dishwashers. My brother and I, with those years, we were not understanding his surprise .. it was only a plate! Not?. Since already it is, a plate.
But someone of those plates they came to Spain with our come back home. Today, after these 40 years, more that the china had before, they continue being almost like they were; they have lost a bit of the engraving and it is everything what they have left in the way. If they fall to the soil there become detached many extremely small, thin, sharp splinters, difficult to locate and with a cutting very high power, which turns them in dangerous enough. Some of them appear some months later in some split there where the cupboards join with the soil. Some years later, when for the studies that it was dealing it had very much I contact glass elements in the Laboratory of Microbiology, I knew technically the origin of his quality. Behind the origin of the surprises was indicated: "Pyrex Tableware by Corning. Made in USA". It does these almost 50 years that one it was not habitual in Spain.
The bun of cardamomo is the important different thing. I recommend Ibán Yarza's book: Domestic Bread. For months already I do not buy bread through the fault of this book. To so that you begin to do your bread in house, taking from you this groundless fear of kneading, of having mass mother, of making things surprising inside the bread … at the time you will see that the bread is one of these important and enterteining things that you have got lost if you do not do it your same. It does not go so much time like thinks, if you have baker machine great part of the process can do it she alone when You do not have this time, allows you breads with diversity of combinations, spices, introducing vegetables … When the woman baker came to house the first thing that they said to me is: "Where You go with this utensil? You it are going to use two times and then it will finish in a corner". Today it has displaced the space of the Thermomix that only is extracted in the moment in which it is going to be used, because the site now is reserved for "the device that helps to do the bread and the pastry dough" … Ah!, also it can do jam.
The mass of these rolls can be done by hand, but that day had wounds on several fingers due to cold nights I go out with Fray and I did with the bread, then the stew was in the oven where the Swedish pastries is different the Spanish traditional: in this case usually bake oven at 250 degrees for 6 to 7 minutes. It is necessary to be monitoring the process almost sat in front of the oven or they will burn. They take flour, yeast, white sugar, brown sugar (to being possible mascabado), go out, milk with butter, seed of cardamomo ground, egg to do and optionally cumin and laminated almond. In 2 or 3 attempts you take the point and … you can manage to take very much weight, or to do that they it take the others.
Taking up: It was with the computer and the hunger began to court me. I went to the kitchen and remembered that had done them the day before. I took one, the plate and returned to the computer. I put it to the right, under the lamp and while it was looking at it to begin to liquidate it, the history of the plate came to my mind. I separated a bit the keyboard, placed better the lamp, prepared a bit the scene with some shades leaving the reflection and sheen of the bulb and I went away for the Fuji FinePix SL1000. Later, slowly, the bun was ended. There were no crumbs.
Treatment: With Aperture. Original JPG. The format I adapt it to place the object lightly to the right, cutting the sheen of the bulb. I get dark the whole scene to give relevancy to the plate. I modify the histograms for colors to mark better the green one of the engraving. I raise lightly the vibration of color.
That's all folks !!
(Fr). Histoire: León. L'Espagne. Il y a deux choses importantes dans cette image : le petit pain au lait suédois de cardamome (recette d'Ibán Yarza) et le plateau. La recette est excellente, le résultat surprenant, le goût, la texture et délicatesse.
Le plateau est important par son histoire personnelle. 40 ans derrière en Allemagne mes parents travaillaient dans une Base Militaire de l'OTAN. Il les entendait dire que la vaisselle qui s'employait dans les salles à manger militaires était d'une qualité dont d'avance ils n'avaient jamais vu en Espagne. Dans ces années 60 ce n'était pas normal avoir l'accès à ces produits en Espagne, avant de partir pour travailler comme émigrants en Allemagne, et ils les surprenaient. Ils pouvaient se chauffer aux températures élevées en les introduisant dans le four et ils ne cassaient pas, avec une grande consistance et une épaisseur, accompagnés de quelques gravures qui n'étaient pas éliminées après beaucoup de lavages dans ces énormes machines à laver. Mon frère et Je, avec ces années, nous ne comprenions pas sa surprise.. Un plateau était seul! Non ?. Puisqu'il est déjà, un plateau.
Mais un de ces plateaux ils sont arrivés à l'Espagne avec notre tour à une maison. Aujourd'hui, après ces 40 années, plus que la vaisselle avait d'avance, ils continuent d'être presque comme ils étaient; ils ont perdu un peu de la gravure et cela est tout celui qu'ils ont laissé dans le chemin. S'ils tombent au sol beaucoup d'esquilles se détachent extrêmement petites, fines, minces, difficiles de trouver et avec un pouvoir coupant très haut ce qui les change en assez dangereuses. Certains d'entre elles apparaissent des mois après dans une fente là où les armoires se joignent avec le sol. Quelques années après, quand aux études dont il suivait un cours j'avais beaucoup de contact avec éléments en verre dans le Laboratoire de Microbiologie, j'ai techniquement connu l'origine de sa qualité. Par derrière l'origine des surprises était indiquée : "Pyrex Tableware by Corning. Made in des USA". Il fait ceux-ci presque 50 ans cela n'était pas habituel en Espagne.
Le petit pain au lait de cardamome est l'autre important. Je recommande le livre d'Ibán Yarza : le Pain Domestique. Des cela fait déjà mois que je n'achète pas déjà de pain par faute de ce livre. À peu que tu commences à faire ton pain dans une maison, en te retirant cette peur sans fondement à amasser, à une mère avoir une masse, à mettre des choses surprenant à l'intérieur du pain …, alors tu verras que le pain est l'une de ces choses importantes et amusantes que tu t'es perdu si tu ne le fais pas même. Il ne porte pas tant de temps comme on le le te permet des pains avec diversité de combinaisons, d'épices pense, si tu as une machine à pain une dépêche elle peut le faire seule quand Tu n'as pas ce temps, en introduisant des légumes … Quand la machine à pain est arrivée à une maison le premier qu'ils m'ont dit est : "Où allait-il avec cette vieillerie ? Tu il vas utiliser deux fois et tout de suite il finira dans un coin". Aujourd'hui il a déplacé l'espace de la Thermomix qui enlève seulement dans le moment dans lequel il part pour user, parce que l'endroit est réservé maintenant pour "l'appareil qui aide à faire le pain et la masse de la pâtisserie" … : Ah!, il peut aussi faire une confiture.
La masse de ces rouleaux peut être fait à la main, mais ce jour-là avait des blessures sur plusieurs doigts en raison de nuits froides je vais à Fray et je ai fait avec le pain, puis le ragoût était dans le four où les pâtisseries suédois est différent l'espagnol traditionnel: four dans ce cas généralement cuire au four à 250 degrés pendant 6-7 minutes. Vous devez être en train de regarder la presque assis en face du processus de four ou brûler. Ils farine, la levure, le sucre blanc, cassonade (de préférence mascabado), le sel, le lait, le beurre, les graines de cardamome moulue, peinture à l'oeuf et le cumin éventuellement laminé et d'amande. Dans deux ou trois tentatives prendrez-vous le point et ... vous pouvez obtenir pour attraper beaucoup de poids, ou ont-ils attrapent autres.
Prendre: Il était avec l'ordinateur et la faim commençait à faire une ronde de moi. Je suis allé à la cuisine et me suis souvenu de ce qu'il les eût faits le jour d'avance. J'ai pris l'un, le plateau et suis revenu à l'ordinateur. Je l'ai mis à la droite, au-dessous de la lampe et tandis qu'il le regardait pour commencer à le liquider, l'histoire du plateau j'est venue à l'esprit. J'ai écarté un peu le clavier, ai placé mieux la lampe, ai préparé un peu la scène avec quelques ombres en laissant le reflet et l'éclat de l'ampoule et suis parti par le Fuji FinePix SL1000. Après, lentement, le petit pain au lait s'est terminé. Il n'y a pas eu de miettes.
Traitement: Avec Aperture. Origine JPG. Le format l'a adapté pour placer l'objet légèrement à la droite, en coupant l'éclat de l'ampoule. J'obscurcis toute la scène pour donner une importance au plateau. Je modifie les histogrammes par des couleurs pour marquer mieux le vert de la gravure. J'élève légèrement la vibration de couleur.
Voilà, c'est tout!
Goethe's approach to understanding nature: quotes from his writings
“After what I have seen of plants and fish in Naples and Sicily, I would be tempted — were I ten years younger — to undertake a journey to India, not to discover something new, but to view in my way what has been discovered.”Goethe (CH; Letter to Knebel, summer 1787)
“If we want to behold nature in a living way, we must follow her example and becomes as mobile and malleable as nature herself.”Goethe (CH; in Miller, p. 64)“There is a delicate empiricism that makes itself utterly identical with the object, thereby becoming true theory. But this enhancement of our mental powers belongs to a highly evolved age.”Goethe (in Miller, p. 307)“... Dr. Heinroth speaks favorably of my work; in fact, he calls my approach unique, for he says that my thinking works objectively. Here he means that my thinking is not separate from objects; that the elements of the object, the perceptions of the object, flow into my thinking and are fully permeated by it; that my perception itself is a thinking, and my thinking a perception.”Goethe (in Miller, p. 39)“If I look at the created object, inquire into its creation, and follow this process back as far as I can, I will find a series of steps. Since these are not actually seen together before me, I must visualize them in my memory so that they form a certain ideal whole.”At first I will tend to think in terms of steps, but nature leaves no gaps, and thus, in the end, I will have to see this progression of uninterrupted activity as a whole. I can do so by dissolving the particular without destroying the impression ...“If we imagine the outcome of these attempts, we will see that empirical observation finally ceases, inner beholding of what develops begins, and the idea can be brought to expression.”Goethe (in Miller p. 75)“[Morphology's] intention is to portray rather than explain.”Goethe (in Miller p. 57)“We conceive of the individual animal as a small world, existing for its own sake, by its own means. Every creature is its own reason to be. All its parts have a direct effect on one another, a relationship to one another, thereby constantly renewing the circle of life; thus we are justified in considering every animal physiologically perfect. Viewed from within, no part of the animal — as so often thought — is a useless or arbitrary product of the formative impulse.”Goethe (in Miller, p. 121) Goethe on Experimentation and Making Judgments (From “The Experiment as Mediator Between Object and Subject,” written in 1772; in Miller pp. 11-17.) “We can never be too careful in our efforts to avoid drawing hasty conclusions from experiments or using them directly as proof to bear out some theory. For here at this pass, this transition from empirical evidence to judgment, cognition to application, all the inner enemies of man lie in wait: imagination, which sweeps him away on his wings before he knows his feet have left the ground; impatience; haste; self-satisfaction; rigidity; formalistic thought; prejudice; ease; frivolity; fickleness — this whole throng and its retinue. Here they lie in ambush and surprise not only the active observer but also the contemplative one who appears safe from all passion.”
“I would venture to say we cannot prove anything by one experiment or even several experiments together, that nothing is more dangerous than the desire to prove some thesis directly through experiments. ... Every piece of empirical evidence we find, every experiment in which this evidence is repeated, really represents just one part of what we know. ... Every piece of empirical evidence, every experiment, must be viewed as isolated, yet the human faculty of thought forcibly strives to unite all external objects known to it. ...”
“We often find that the more limited the data, the more artful a gifted thinker will become. As though to assert his sovereignty he chooses a few agreeable favorites from the limited number of facts and skillfully marshals the rest so they never contradict him directly. Finally he is able to confuse, entangle, or push aside the opposing facts and reduce the whole to something more like the court of a despot than a freely constituted republic.”

Buttercup bokeh..... all gone now as the grass just had to be cut before it became an impossible job :( I need to create a meadow somewhere......
Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
Dorothy Thompson
I want to thank everyone who has purchased my images. At times, these sales have helped me get through some of the challenges I have faced. And, it has enabled me to donate some of my work to clinics that serve the poor in Virginia. Tomorrow, I will be taking a large framed print to the Johnson Clinic in Lynchburg. Thanks to all of your support I have been able to embark on this project which I have called Vision of Hope.

One of my newest works. Over the past year, I have spent a great many hours focusing on character creation. In this exploration, the settings have been demoted to gloomy indistinct places.
After reviewing my own work, I wondered if the created setting could be itself the character.
My own thoughts about the image.
The image is constructed of layers. It is the understanding from where these image derive give clarity to the image. The brick wall is a wall from a cemetery. The step is from an alley way. The grass is from a forest. The gates are of a mausoleum. The cave is from a sculpture park (represents the cave where the body of Christ's body was placed). The last image is of a forest.
Each layer represents a doorway of some kind. An alley is a 'space between'. Cemeteries are a place where the living set aside for the dead. They are, essentially, a place where the living can commune with the dead. Mausoleums are a place to place the dead; a house for the dead to reside in. Caves, in many cultures, are seen as gates to the 'otherworld'. Forests or nature in general, was once the natural habitat of humanity and humanity found special places to commune with the divine.
All of these create doorways or thresholds through which to pass; progression from the artificial environment Man has created back into his natural environment. The alley is man made being reclaimed by Man's natural state. The cemetery is where Man can enter into the world of the dead. The mausoleum the house of the dead which Man can enter as an invited guest, the cave goes deeper into the dead's world and spills out into Humanity's natural environment; nature.
The other details:
Keyholes represents something that is locked, blocked off, and can only be opened if one wants to or if one has the proper tools to do so. The stone hands are from an angel statue. They represent a more religiously neutral idea of a key of salvation. I typically employ religious elements in my work. However, those elements should be viewed as symbolic rather than religiously inspired. Skulls have been used to represent mortality. Water is a prime element. It has purification elements but also has destructive elements as well.
My own opinion about this piece is that humanity has increasingly become an abstract animal. It creates and builds its own habitat or environment to dwell in and imprisons itself in abstractions. Thus, becoming detach from its natural state of existence as well as the natural processes of natural.
An great example of this is death; one of my primary aesthetics. In the middle ages, people lived with the idea and the reality of death on a daily basis; even bringing the dead closer to themselves throughout the middle ages up to the 18th century (moving cemeteries into cities, fetish cults, cults of relics and saints, etc.). They had intimate knowledge of death, its process and the reality of corporeal corruption death brings. The veil between life and death was, at best, a murky grey line rather than a hard demarcation.
During the 20th century, humanity, at least western man (America especially), has increasingly attempted to deny death as a life process. They mask it during funerals trying to make the deceased appear as alive as possible; embalming the body to stave of corruption, make up to give an appear of the color of life.
The great question, then, is how can Humanity find truth around itself if we live in a world of complete abstraction and blatantly deny fundamental truths about ourselves. We refuse to find truth, to walk through doors because it is frightening in some way? We choose comfort and lies over truth. It doesn't make sense.
"All beings with two, three, four, or five senses.... in fact all creation, know individually pleasure and displeasure, pain, terror, and sorrow.
All are full of fears which come from all directions. And yet there exist people who would cause greater pain to them...
Some kill animals for sacrifice, some for their skin, flesh, blood, ... feathers, teeth, or tusks; ... some kill them intentionally and some unintentionally; some kill because they have been previously injured by them, ... and some because they expect to be injured.
He who harms animals has not understood or renounced deeds of sin...
He who understands the nature of sin against animals is called a true sage who understands karma... "
(Acaranga Sutra, Jainism - Prayer n°3943)
A few hours ago I went back to take a few pictures of those huge Jain thirthankaras (saints) rockcut statues on the way to Gwalior Fort.
This is a close-up of the hand of one of the 24 statues which are standing there since the seventh century a.d..
It belongs to the tallest (about 20 meters) and it is overlooking the city of Gwalior which is located the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
Never going to give in even with the strength.
Last night I got such a heartwarming phone call from this sweet old lady from a Women's Club around here. She called to let me know that the district photography contest I entered in, my photo won first place. (:
I'm in love with this song lately.

Seen at the Tate Modern in London. I chose this image because I loved the colours. But beyond that, I am fascinated by how the artist may change the world-view of any viewer. This painting by Francis Bacon (1975) is called 'Three Figures and a Portrait' and offers an insight to Bacon's suffering. Two of the human figures may be George Dyer, his lover, who committed suicide in 1971, while the bird-like figure is linked to divine judgement in Greek mythology. Bacon describes his paintings as looking 'as if a human being had passed between them, like a snail, leaving a trail of the human presence and memory of past events'. By photographing this long chain of human reaction, it is interesting how the alchemy is passed along.

Saturday night cruising in Paprihaven, at the King of Cars dealership.* Fast Falconetti is assisting a customer in understanding what they want.
"You asked for a T-Bird and I, you mere servant at King of Cars, deliver... a Thunderbird. Milady, the 1967 Post Cereal premium with fabulous white tires. Am I right?"
"Oh! So, wow, that's really neat and kind of old-"
"Vintage. T-Birds are vintage. The good ones."
"Oh, sure! Right, but I saw Slim Savory's Thunderbird** and it was a Hot Wheels with that really nice diecast body. It looked great under the lights. So shiny."
"And so can you imagine Slim's envy when you pull up beside him in this old-school F&F beauty?"
"Um... envy?"
"You want curb appeal, my dear. Am I right? You want to be sitting pretty behind the wheel of a classy automobile that make the men stop in their tracks. When they get an eyeful of you cruising under the lights of a Market Street Saturday night, your beautiful hair blowing in the breeze, in this fabulous T-Bird, they're gonna worship you."
"Well, but... really?? Worship me??"
"It's that once-in-a-lifetime that grabs people, am I right? How many pretty girls are out there? Lots. Not as pretty as you, but pretty. How many Hot Wheels T-Birds are out there. Not lots, but not rare either. So, take you, you're gorgeous. If we're measuring beauty by 'breathtaking' then the breath is already gone."
"That's good?"
"That's the best. The top. Then combine that with this F&F T-Bird, only one of its kind out there, and what do you have? One in a lifetime, baby."
"This is the only F&F T-Bird in Paprihaven?"
"As far as we know."
"It really is a cool looking car."

"Hm."
"I mean, your wish remains my command. You want, and I'll go check on the computer if we have a diecast Hot Wheels T-Bird so you can be like everyone else who has one."
"Well... no, I want this one. I never thought about it like that."
"Hey, that's what we do. We help you dream bigger. Come on in and we'll get the paperwork out of the way so you can commence creating once-in-a-lifetime moments."
And that was it. This is the second F&F Post Cereal car that Falconetti has sold,*** and he's the only one at King of Cars to have sold any. He's feeling good.

Where is that fine line,

And the image looses the honor of the photograph, but moves out of illustration because no artist held a brush?
For me it's about trying to find meaning in the visual world, about detecting what Rupert Sheldrake called 'morphic resonance' the evolving sha ping of time space.
Why trying to understand the motives behind human behavior is well nigh impossible
In my more than 25 years of writing an advice column I regularly get asked several different versions of “When a woman does Y, what does that mean?” or “My husband did X. What did he mean by ...

“A.I. - About Apple’s Identity”

### Will Apple Listen to Mark Zuckerberg’s Criticism?
I Don’t Think So—At Least Not for Someone Enchanted by the Apple Vision Pro.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, recently appeared on a well-known podcast, where he criticized Apple for failing to release an innovative product since the iPhone and for experiencing a decline in sales.
Appearing on a podcast originating from Apple and then proceeding to criticize the company might seem like a lighthearted joke, but I believe he was serious.
Why? Because he now wields a weapon—the AR glasses.
With the support of various institutions and a team of highly skilled professionals, he has likely achieved some notable milestones. Yet, as someone who has been a devoted Apple user since the PowerBook 540c, I still do not sense any real craftsmanship or identity in what he creates.
This sentiment extends to other IT giants that currently dominate the world—Meta, Amazon, Tesla, Microsoft, and Google.
Just by listing their names, readers of this text are likely already picturing their respective CEOs.
In the past, I wrote that Steve Jobs was not an artist.
What he excelled at was weaving together scattered ideas from across the world, expanding upon them, and linking them to the future.
The true creator was Jonathan Ive.
A minority of people may share this perspective with me.
However, when I see these IT moguls quickly shifting their corporate stances the moment the possibility of Trump returning to power emerges, I feel compelled to speak my mind.
The AR glasses, the cars—everything they create lacks a fundamental concept.
Call it ideology or, in lighter terms, identity.
It is true that Tim Cook and Apple’s current team have become more prone to letting slip details about upcoming products before their official release.
I have always loved music.
Artists shut themselves in a studio, cutting off the outside world, pouring their anger, hatred, joy, and sorrow into each note with intense focus.
It’s as if they are entrusting something to their music.
And when they finally release their album, they explain the emotions and thoughts behind its creation.
(Prince, whom I admire, rarely spoke about his work, so understanding his art required engaging with the final product itself.)
Until an album is complete and released, artists say nothing.
It was those artists who moved me to my core.
The faint glow of Apple’s innovation still remains within me.
Not even last year’s widely criticized "failure"—the Apple Vision Pro—could extinguish it.
In fact, it shines even brighter than the iPhone.
Because beyond its cutting-edge electronic components, I can sense a concept, an ideology.
Unfortunately, I will never feel the same from Meta’s AR glasses or Tesla’s cars.
I have written at length, but here is the key article:
**Tim Cook Donates Over $1.5 Million to Trump’s Inauguration Ceremony**
🔗 [Gigazine Article](gigazine.net/news/20250104-apple-ceo-tim-cook-donates-1-m...)
At first glance, this might make it seem like Tim Cook, like other tech CEOs, has sold his soul. But that is not the case.
While Cook personally donated to Trump, Apple itself did not follow the same path as other companies.
Apple refused to bow to Trump.
If asked what Apple’s ideology truly is, I would answer this:
**Apple is a group of individuals who believe in themselves.**
Steve Jobs, watching from heaven, is probably chuckling at this overly serious text I wrote.
A company that does not pander to Trump—
That is Apple. :)

8mm film of our honeymoon resurrected after decades.
youtu.be/zH-dG7bMeL4?si=yLF5_f1m-LhAVdPp
We found the 8mm film of our honeymoon for the first time in decades, and burned it onto a DVD.
On June 6, 1993, we got married, and headed straight to Nassau, Bahamas, via New York.
Our destination was the pink sand beach where the late Princess Diana went on her honeymoon.
If you're heading to the Bahamas, this might be a good reference.
The hotel we stayed at was the Ramada Hotel, which no longer exists.
My wife is showing us the hotel room.
But now you can see the beautiful scenery in real time.
When I played the DVD that arrived, it showed footage of our arrival in the Bahamas.
Please take a look if you'd like.
This time, we asked Fujifilm to make the DVD.
I'll post the link below.

From now on I will host "Lot No.402_".
The work of Leonardo da Vinci who was sleeping.
That is the number when it was put up for auction.
No sign was written on the work.
So this work couldn't conclude that it was his work.
However # as a result of various appraisals # it was exposed to the sun.
A work that no one notices. A work that speaks quietly without a title.
I will continue to strive to provide it to many people in various ways.

### **Synopsis**
Kei Kitami, a student preparing for university entrance exams, meets Kaori Kamimura, an event companion six years his senior, through social media.
Kaori has come to Tokyo with a dream—to befriend famous artists.
To achieve this, she needs the influence of Ryo Osawa, a well-known radio producer.
During a live radio broadcast, Osawa speaks directly to Kaori:
*"I have a wife and child. But still, I want to see you."*
Meanwhile, Rika Sanjo, Kei’s classmate who secretly harbors feelings for him, is closely watching Kaori’s every move...

Main story
There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

タイトル
“” A.I. アップルのアイデンティティについて””
www.flickr.com/photos/stealaway/54271473379/in/dateposted...
マークザッカーバーグ氏の批判に、アップルは耳を傾けるだろうか。
僕にはそう思えない。アップルヴィジョンプロに夢を見せられた僕には。
メタのマークザッカーバーグ氏は、有名なポッドキャストに出演し、アップルはアイフォン以来革新的な製品を発売せず、売り上げも落ちていると批判したようだ。
アップル発祥のポッドキャストに現れ、アップルを批判すると言うのは軽いジョークに思えるが、真剣に訴えたんだろうと僕は思う。
なぜなら、今の彼はARグラスという武器を手にしているからだ。
おそらく、さまざまな関係機関や優秀なスタッフが彼を支え、それなりの目標を達成したんだろうが、パワーブック５４０cから使い続けてきた僕のような古いアップルファンからしてみれば、まだ物作りのアイデンティを彼からはまったく感じない。
これは他の、現在世界を制覇しているIT企業らも含む。
メタ、アマゾン、テスラ。マイクロソフト。グーグル。
社名が並ぶだけで、このテキストを読まれている方は名前と顔をすでに浮かべているはずだ。
僕は以前、スティーブ・ジョブズはアーティストではないと書いた。
彼は、現世界に散らばったイメージを紡ぎ合わせ、それを膨らます。そして未来へリンクさせる。それが得意だっただけだ。
実際に創作していたのはジョナサンアイブだ。少数ながらも僕のような意見を持っている方もいるだろう。
しかし、先述したIT関連の面々が、トランプ氏に再び権力が戻るとなった途端に会社の方針を覆す様子を見ていると、僕は一言、どうしても意見したいのだ。
彼らが作ったARグラスや車などには、肝心な観念が欠けている。思想という重い言葉や、軽めのアイデンティティと言い換えてもいい。
確かに、ティムクック氏やアップルの現在のスタッフらは、発売前の商品に関して口を滑らせることが多くなった。
僕は、以前から書いているように音楽が大好きだ。
外界を断ち、アーティストらがスタジオにこもって、怒りや憎しみ、喜びや悲しみを一心不乱になって一音に吹き込む。何かを託すと言ってもいい。
そして、完成したアルバムを発表し、どんな思いを込めて制作したのかを語る。（僕が好きなプリンスはほとんど語らなかったので、完成された作品を理解する必要があった）
アルバムが完成し、発表するまで、彼らはひとことも語らない。
僕の胸を震わせたのは、そんなアーティストらだった。
僕の中に淡く灯っているアップルの革新性は、いまでも消えていない。
それは昨年、大失敗だと批判されたアップルヴィジョンプロでさえも消すことはできない。むしろ、アイフォン以上の強烈な光を放っている。
ただの斬新な電化製品ではなく、細かな電気部品の向こうに観念や思想を感じるからだ。
残念ながら、メタのARグラスやテスラの車に、僕がその観念や思想を感じることは今後もないだろう。
長々と書いてきたが、結論は以下の記事だ。
1.5億円超をAppleのティム・クックCEOがトランプの大統領就任式に寄付
gigazine.net/news/20250104-apple-ceo-tim-cook-donates-1-m...
一読すると、ティムクック氏も他のIT会社同様、魂を売ったのかと思われるがそうではない。
ティムクック氏は個人的にトランプ氏へ献金をするが、アップル社だけは他社と同じようには献金していない。
アップルは、トランプ氏になびかなかったのだ。
アップル社の観念や思想とは、具体的に何かと訊かれたら、僕はこう答える。
アップルとは、自分自身を信じる人間が集まっているグループだ。
たぶん、天国のスティーブ・ジョブズは、僕がクソ真面目に書いたテキストを、鼻で笑っていることだろう。
トランプ氏に媚びない会社。
それがAppleさ。:)
１月１５日
嬉しい記事を読んだ後で。

新婚旅行の8mmフィルムを数十年ぶりに復活😃
youtu.be/zH-dG7bMeL4?si=yLF5_f1m-LhAVdPp
新婚旅行の8mmフィルムが数十年ぶりに出てきて、DVDに焼きました。
１９９３年６月６日、僕らは結婚し、そのままニューヨークを経由して、バハマのナッソーへ向かいました。
目的地は、亡くなられたダイアナ妃が新婚旅行へ向かったピンクサンドビーチです。
もしもこれからバハマへ向かうならば、参考に見てもよいかもしれません。
泊まったホテルは、今はもうないラマダホテル。
妻がホテルの部屋を紹介しています。

” Lot No.402_ ” に関するお知らせ。
今後、僕は、” Lot No.402_ ”を主催します。
このロットナンバーは、眠っていたレオナルドダヴィンチの作品がオークションにかけらた際に付されたものです。
作品にはサインなどがいっさい記されていなかったため、彼の作品だと断定できませんでした。
しかし、様々な鑑定の結果、陽の光を浴びました。
誰にも気づかれない作品。肩書がなくとも静かに語りかける作品。
僕はこれから様々な形で、多くの皆様に提供できるよう努めてゆきます。

あらすじ
大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。
上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。
そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。
大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。
「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」
ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。
本編
人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。
ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。
もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。
二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。
再生だ。
明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。
それが再生の意味だ。
十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

作品制作について 1/2
作品制作について 2/2
１ それまでの写真展。自分は行きたいと思ったか？
２ じゃ、自分が足を運んででも行きたい展示とは何か？
３ 原宿デザインフェスタで個展を開くまでに、毎月ひとつの作品を展示することにチャレンジ。
４ 作品とは、素材とシルエット。ファッションと似ている。
５ 自分が好きなアーティストは誰か？ どんなものなのか？ そこをはっきりさせる。
６ コラージュの作成も写真の撮り方と全く同じ。インタビューに書いたように小説の書き方とも同じ。
７ 誰かに見せたい、見せるがために作品は作らない。写真と同じように自分の部屋に飾りたい作品を目指す。
８ パクリとは何か？ 昨今、叩かれるパクリ疑惑。ミメーシスとは？
