Utilizing technology "borrowed" from Roboforce, the Aquasharks built this rover to function semi-autonomously, keeping a human pilot to provide instructions but carrying out those instructions by figuring out the optimal usage of its arms and assortment of weaponry. The rover is unusual for an Aquasharks vehicle given that it can't "swim," but it makes up for its lack of speed and maneuverability with brute force and toughness.
The model actually features a LEGO inertia motor, which spins up a flywheel as you roll it along so when you release it it keeps rolling for a long time. This was meant for Racers sets, but works great for keeping tracked vehicles in motion! Thus, I can watch this rover climb over obstacles in its way after building up some decent inertia, which is quite fun :)
The V-200 was essentially an enlarged version of the V-100 and utilized many components of the US Army's 5 ton trucks. This version was specially tailor-made to the specifications of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and manufactured exclusively for use by the SAF. ST Kinetics upgraded the Singaporean fleet of V-200 vehicles in the 2002–2003 time frame with upgrades--a fully electric turret drive system by Moog--as well as improvements to both the engine and transmission systems. All in all, about two hundred fifty V-200s were acquired by SAF, with the Singapore Army (thirty V-100s and another forty V-150s), keeping two hundred V-200s in reserve storage while the remaining fifty V-200s were relegated for use by the Republic of Singapore Air Force in the role of airbase defence/security duties and also as SHORAD air-defence systems. In these roles, the vehicles are generally equipped with the RBS 70 Surface-to-air missiles or a single Oerlikon 20 mm cannon plus FN MAG 7.62 mm General-purpose machine guns for self-defense. In 2006 the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) decided to purchase 300 Terrex APCs to replace their remaining V-200s.
Opened in 1927, this Spanish Colonial Revival-style hotel was designed by Warren & Wetmore for the Territorial Hotel Company as a luxury resort hotel for tourists, and was heavily inspired by the work of Rudolph Valentino. One of the most iconic buildings on Waikiki, the hotel has evolved over time due to changes in social attitudes, expectations, and economic conditions, but the original building in the complex is very well preserved. Replacing the previous Honolulu Seaside Hotel, which opened around the turn of the 20th Century, and was originally surrounded by a 15-acre garden, with the H-shaped hotel featuring 400 rooms with bathrooms and balconies, and opened to great fanfare on February 1, 1927, with a black tie gala attended by 1,200 guests commemorating the occasion. The Territorial Hotel Company went bankrupt during the Great Depression, with ownership then coming under the Matson Navigation Company in 1932. The hotel continued to serve well-heeled visitors until World War II, when it was utilized as an R&R Center by the United States Military, and was surrounded by a Concertina wire barricade during this time. Following the end of the war, the hotel resumed its normal service, and regained its status as a popular accommodation for wealthy and well-to-do travelers. In 1959, the hotel was sold to Sheraton Hotels and Resorts by Matson, which divested itself from its Waikiki hotels at this time. The hotel features a picturesquely asymmetrical pink stucco-clad exterior with a low-slope roof enclosed by a low parapet wall at the perimeter, green tile hipped roofs on some of the towers, lanais with arched openings and orthogonal columns, decorative trimwork at the towers, corners, and gable parapets of the building, a large Spanish Mission belfry atop a tower at the center of the building, a smaller belfry on a corner tower on the land side of the building, and potted plants in curved notches in the rooftop parapets. The building’s interior features a long corridor on the first floor open to the ocean with decorative pilasters, textured plaster walls and ceilings, arches, and tile floors, a lobby with arches, columns, pilasters, and wainscoting, staircases with quarry tile risers and treads, decorative painted Spanish-style ceilings with decorative beams in the lounge on the ocean side of the hotel, and beautiful stone floors on the lanais around the building’s exterior. The building was extended in the mid-20th Century with the addition of a series of one-story wings housing the monarch room and additional service and amenity space on the ocean side of the hotel, as well as the addition of the modern Royal Hawaiian Tower Wing in 1969 immediately Diamond Head of the historic hotel, which features a small pool in the courtyard between it and the older hotel building. The hotel was purchased in 1974 by Kyo-ya Company Ltd, led by Japanese businessmen Kenji Osano and Masakuni Osano, and was later inherited by Takamasa Osano. In 1980, the Royal Hawaiian Center was opened along the Kalakaua Avenue frontage of the hotel property, housing various retail and restaurant offerings in the increasingly built-up Waikiki. The hotel was extensively renovated between 2008 and 2010, restoring the exterior and common spaces, and updating the guest accommodations. One of the most iconic hotel properties in Hawaii and in the United States as a whole, the Royal Hawaiian is a member of the Historic Hotels of America, though it is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The hotel remains one of the most prestigious hotels in Hawaii, and has been nicknamed the "The Pink Palace of the Pacific" for its color and distinctive architecture.

Times Square New Years Eve Ball Drop in New York City 2015 - 2016
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.
The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

The Army is utilizing its Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) tactical communications network to provide voice, video and data sharing, mission command and situational awareness to the brigade during the coalition-inclusive Army Warfighter Assessment (AWA) 17.1, at Fort Bliss, Texas this month. During the assessment, the Army is using Commercial Coalition Equipment (CCE) to connect to the coalition network over WIN-T so it can share information with our partner nations, enabling multiple nations to fight as one force.

I utilized a very sophisticated lighting set-up for this shot.This was shot in my living room in daylight with windows both camera right and left.
I first brought in my profoto airs with 2400 ws packs, along with mutiple soft boxes and beauty dished boomed over head. I took a variety of meter readings , which I immediately ignored. Then I did not plug any of the lighting equipment in.
Then I placed a cheap silver reflector precariously propped up on a chair camera left,with available light bouncing uncontrollably all over the place.

Donny of North Carolina is my Stranger #20, taken in part of his amazing garden...here he has utilized different items as planters for his lovely flowers...a shoe, a chair, a bucket, a pot, and a bowl.....everywhere in his yard was eye candy with flowers and fountains and flowerbeds and flower containers. He also grew the gorgeous purple clematis featured in my photostream which is what originally caught my eye as we were driving on a North Carolina backroad...he was sitting out on the front porch having a cup of coffee (cup is still in his hand) so I called out that I just wanted a photo of his lovely flowering vine and he came to meet us telling me it was okay. He wanted us to get out and walk around his garden and what a treat that would have been but we were on a tight schedule so sadly we did not take time to smell the roses...but we promised to return one day and he said we were welcome anytime. He insisted on giving me some flowers from his garden which I gladly received and placed in my Ozarka bottle of water...interestingly it was a new flower to me and it's fragrance reminded me of my Grandmother's Cashmere Bouquet Bath Powder. He also gave us directions to the road we were looking for and had passed so he helped get us back on track.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.

Date: Circa 1872
Notes: This cropped version focuses on Kimmell's Dye House, at 517 10th St., NW, one door to the left of Ford's Theatre, seen here about seven years after Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865. At that time, this building had a different address and a different owner; it was then "The Greenback Restaurant" (aka Saloon) at 452 10th St. Although not as well known today as the Star Saloon, on the opposite side of Fords’, where John Wilkes Booth downed a last drink before shooting the President, the Greenback was a popular drinking spot as well, and often visited by Booth. There is assassination testimony that places Booth right into the scene we see here, on horseback, talking to the owner of the Greenback, standing at the front entrance on the afternoon of Lincoln's assassination.
From 1865 images of this block, you can see that the Greenback's appearance at the time of Lincoln's assassination looked almost identical to the building's 1872 appearance here. The only differences that I detect, besides Kimmell’s signs, and the addition of a drain pipe on the porch post, is the replacement of the storefront window with a box style window, and the removal of all porch rails at street level. In 1865, the lower rails looked like the upper porch rails we see here, except the rails only went half around the landing on the left side, then stopped for the front entrance. There were no rails on the right side, and patrons of the theatre could exit Ford’s and walk right into the Greenback. When the Federal Government took over the theater and turned it into a records storage facility and Medical museum, four of the five theatre doors were blocked off and reconfigured into windows. In this view, there is a couple standing at the one remaining door.
The Greenback and it's owner in 1865, James P. Ferguson, are part of the Lincoln assassination story, which can be found in the Lincoln Conspiracy testimony and witness statements at the National Archives, a brief excerpt below. I've also included three advertisements going back to 1863, for additional context on the Greenback. At the very bottom are my 2019 notes on Hiram Kimmell, Union Veteran, and the business he conducted here at the Philadelphia Dye House.
----------------------------
Washington April 15, 1865
Statement of James P. Ferguson
"My name is James B. Ferguson. I am a resident of Washington City, D. C. I keep a restaurant No. 452 10th St. west between E & F Streets north adjoining Fords Theater. I am well acquainted with J. Wilkes Booth. I have known him about three months. He has been in the habit during that period of visiting my restaurant almost every day. I am familiar with his appearance and his voice. I saw him about two o’clock PM on the 14th inst. He was then riding a bay mare a beautiful animal. He rode in front of my restaurant door and said Jim or Ferguson, see what a nice horse I have. I did not see him again until I saw him in the theater when the President was shot. I was sitting in the dress circle right opposite the box occupied by the President, Mrs. Lincoln and one other lady whom I did know and the gentleman in citizen clothes I did not know. I was looking in that direction because I expected to see Lieutenant General Grant, whom I have known since my boyhood, having been raised in the same county Ohio in which he had lived. I saw J. Wilkes Booth go in the direction of the box occupied by the President. I saw him walk up to the box, stop for a moment and look around. He had his hat in his left hand....He pressed his knee against the door of the box. He then opened the door of the box. Upon the door opening, I saw the flash of a pistol. I then saw the citizen in the box catch hold of Booth. I then saw Booth draw a knife, a kind of Bowie knife exactly like the one shown me by the District Attorney and strike with the blade down at the citizen. He then made a rush for the front of the box. First he placed his left hand upon the railing of the box and he then placed both hands on and swung his feet over. At that time his spur caught in the flag, which was around the box, and he fell to one side. He immediately sprang up, looked me right in the face and said Sic Semper Tyrannus or something of that sort, which I did not understand. He then ran across the stage, looked me directly in the face, and said brandishing the knife above his head “I have done it”. He then disappeared from the stage. I have not seen him since...."

2019 Notes on Kimmell's Phil. Dye House - Circa 1872:
517 10th St – Philadelphia Dye House – Proprietor, Hiram Henry Kimmell, Union Veteran. He lived here with his wife Mary and six children.
The sign out front in the street reads: “517 Kimmell’s Steam Dye & Scouring House – Clothing Cleaned & Pressed.”
H. H. Kimmell practiced his trade at various addresses over the years. Before moving to 10th St., he was on Pennsylvania Ave and below is his advertisement in Boyd’s 1867 D.C. Directory which tells of the various services he performed at the Philadelphia Dye House:
“451 - PHILADELPHIA DYE HOUSE - 451, 451 Pennsylvania Avenue, bet. 3d and 4 1-2 Sts. Washington, D.C. Ladies Garments Cleaned or Dyed to Any Shade of Color and Neatly Finished. Coats, Pants, Vests, and Kids Gloves, Cleaned or Dyed, and Neatly Pressed, Equal to New. Repairing done in the best manner and in the shortest time possible. Carpets Cleaned. All kinds of paints and grease spots removed from all fabrics. Also Merchant Tailor. Don’t forget the number. Give me a trial. H. H. KIMMELL”
Hiram H. Kimmell was born about 1840 and enlisted in the Union Army on Sept. 23, 1861 as a Private, in Co. H, 96th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. On his 1881 pension application, Kimmell states, “On the 8th of May 1862, was taken with a severe case of Measles immediately after my arrival at West Point, Va from Alexandria Va on the steamer John Brooks, was then sent back to Alexandria Mansion House Hospital….have been troubled ever since with “functional disorder of the heart.” Because of his condition, Kimmell was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps (Invalid Corps) in 1863, and discharged from service on October 14, 1864.
In 1872 he received some form of heat treatment for his heart disorder from Dr. B.F. Craig, next door, at the adjacent Army Medical Museum. During the years 1873 – 1874, he had two severe attacks, and on both occasions “was prostrated” for short periods, and again received treatment from Dr. Craig of the Medical Museum. His 1881 pension application states, “I have followed my occupation since my discharge as a dyer and very often have been compelled to stop work when my business was most urgent, on account of the frequent attacks of the disease…and thereby have lost a great deal of my trade which I was dependent upon as my only means of support for myself and family and very often have done work when I was actually too ill to do it as necessity compelled me to thus labor. These attacks have occurred many times since my discharge.”
By the time the 1877 city directory is compiled (late 1876?) and published, Kimmell has moved his business elsewhere and 517 10th St. is listed as a Florist shop and greenhouse. Hiram H. Kimmell died Feb 9, 1890, from “disease of heart” and was buried in Congressional Cemetery in Washington D.C. A couple weeks later, his wife Mary filed her application for a Widows Pension; she died in 1928 and is buried with him in the same site.

"The camel is still utilized in India, mainly for ploughing, transport of man and agriculture produce, drawing water from deep wells, and extraction of oil from oilseeds.
Camels can generate a draft force equivalent to 17-22 % of their body weight and can supply 1.1 hp bioenergy continuously for long periods. A survey (1993) on the use of camel draught power as source of livelihood revealed that average net income to the camel cart owners ranged from Rs.2,000/- to Rs.5,000/- per month per cart.
The Indian Camel population is mostly confined to the north-western part of the country. Rajasthan (0.719 million), Haryana (0.128 million), Punjab(0.43 million) and Gujarat (0.058 million) inhabitates almost 93.12 % of Indian camel population (base, 1987). The other states where the camel occurs in substantial numbers are Uttar Pradesh (0.036 million) and Madhya Pradesh (0.015 million). Eleven arid districts of Rajasthan (0.567 million) contribute 78.86 % to the total Rajasthan camel population and 55.70 % to the Indian camel population.
There are three major breeds of Camel in India viz. Bikaneri, Jaisalmeri and Kutchi.
The Bikaneri has excellent draft capabilities and is therefore becoming the breed of choice of the farmers of the Thar desert (NW Rajasthan).
The Jaisalmeri camel has good race potential and therefore was important breed before advent of modern camel cart. They were preferred in cavalries in the past life Ganga Risala which took part in World War I and II. Presently the Camel Corps constitutes an important wing of the Border Security Force of Indian para-military service.
Kutchi breed (Kutch region of Gujarat) has good milk potential. "

About Terra Cotta
Terra cotta, also commonly spelled terracotta, is a building material created from clay. This becomes widely utilized because when compared to other building materials, it is cheap and easy to give shape; it is essentially just a clay product fired under specific techniques.
Terra cotta is one of the oldest building materials and sculpting media. The term simply means "baked earth" in Latin. Used in ancient times to make pipes, cooking pots, bricks, cornices and architectural ornaments, its principal use today is in the sculpture and tile that bear its unmistakable orangish color and porous texture.
The Process
1. Clay
Terra cotta is made from clay. However, different types of terra cotta have different names based on where the product is made. This is partly because clay harvested from the ground in any particular region will have a slightly different makeup than clay found elsewhere. However, wherever the terra cotta is made, the first step is finding suitable clay deposits and harvesting the clay from the ground.
2. Refining
The raw clay needs to be refined before it is made into terra cotta pots, tiles or other products. This process involves drying the clay and then screening and filtering it to remove impurities that affect the consistency, color and other properties of the clay. Depending on the purity of the clay pit from which the material is removed, raw clay has foreign matter, minerals, rocks and other items that need to be removed during this process.
3. Molding
Once it has been refined, terra cotta clay is often pressed into molds. Roofing tiles, flooring tiles and architectural embellishments are just a few of the mold types that are used for terra cotta in building material applications. The clay is firmly pressed into the mold so that it takes on the shape before firing.
4. Firing
Once the terra cotta has been pressed into the appropriate shape, it needs to be fired in order to cook and harden. Terra cotta falls into the category of low fire clay. This means that you must fire it at a lower temperature than many other clays or it will melt. This can damage the kiln as well as ruin the work. Normally, terra cotta is fired at a temperature between 2,048 and 2,079 degrees Fahrenheit.
Additional Information
Terracotta female figurines were uncovered by archaeologists in excavations of ‘Mohenjo-daro’ (3000-1500 BC). Along with phallus-shaped stones, these suggest some sort of fertility cult and a belief in a mother goddess. The ‘Burney Relief’ is an outstanding terracotta plaque from Ancient ‘Mesopotamia’ of about 1950 BC.
The ancient Greeks' Tanagra figurines are mass-produced mold-cast and fired terracotta figurines. Significant uses of terracotta have included Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Terracotta Army of China, built in 209–210 BC.
Pre-colonial West African sculpture also made extensive use of terracotta. The region’s most recognized for producing terracotta art in this part of the world include the Nok culture of central and north-central Nigeria, the Ife/Benin cultural axis in western and southern Nigeria (also noted for its exceptionally naturalistic sculpture), and the Igbo culture area of eastern Nigeria, which excelled in terracotta pottery. These related, but separate, traditions also gave birth to elaborate schools of bronze and brass sculpture in the area.
French sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse made many terracotta pieces, but possibly the most famous is The Abduction of Hippodameia depicting the Greek mythological scene of a centaur kidnapping Hippodameia on her wedding day. American architect Louis Sullivan is well known for his elaborate glazed terracotta ornamentation, designs that would have been impossible to execute in any other medium. Terracotta and tile were used extensively in the town buildings of Victorian Birmingham, England.

Times Square, New York City, New Years Eve Ball Drop, 2012 - 2013
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.
The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

In addition to choosing cleaner, greener fuels, utilizing onshore power supply service (also known as "cold ironing", "alternative maritime power" and "shore-side electricity), is another solution to reduce air pollution and emissions from ships, as well as limiting local noise. IMO is addressing the need for global standards for the process of providing shoreside electrical power to a ship at berth, while its main and auxiliary engines are turned off. Draft guidelines on safe operation of on-shore power supply to ships are set to be finalized by the Sub-Committee on Ship Systems and Equipment (SSE), which meets this week (2-6 March).
urning to passenger and crew safety matters, the Sub-Committee is expected to finalize draft amendments to the Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code on ventilation requirements for survival craft and related draft amendments to the Revised recommendation on testing of life-saving appliances, to ensure a habitable environment is maintained in such survival craft.
The Sub-Committee is also working to prevent accidents related to lifting appliances and anchor handling winches, which have caused harm to operators and damage to ships, cargo, shore-based structures and subsea structures, as well as to the marine environment. The session is set to complete draft guidelines for lifting appliances, as well as draft guidelines for anchor handling winches. The guidelines will complement draft SOLAS regulations which are due to be submitted to the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) for approval and adoption.
On fire safety, the Sub-Committee will continue its work to minimize the incidence and consequences of fires on ro-ro passenger ships, following a number of serious accidents that occurred recently. The session is expected to further develop draft amendments to the SOLAS Convention and associated codes to enhance fire prevention, detection and extinction.
The SSE 7 meeting was opened by IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim and is being chaired by Mr. Umut Senturk (Turkey).

One video still from each "Life is Drag" video portrait (performance documentation).
lifeisdrag.com
ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.
Typically there are generally a great number of different planets which are undoubtedly being uncovered and utilized in the astrology chart for greater sophistication and understanding. For millennia astrologers exclusively made use of the Several planets (wandering stars) that had been found prior to the telescope ended up being designed. Subsequently emerged Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. At this moment many other planets, quite a few branded dwarf planets additional are asteroids, have been located beyond Neptune, (Trans Neptunian) Kuiper belt and Ort cloud, are added onto the astrology chart. This post will handle Sedna, Eris, Varuna, Makemake and Quaoar.
Using the Hubble telescope and growth in astronomy a host of additional planets were discovered. The popular categorization for these particular orbiting objects are classified as dwarf planets. The dwarf planets breakthrough discovery indicate the development and improvement of human mindset.
For astrologers most of us understand that as a reflectivity from the awareness developing from the humankind. We're developing and existence and the way we believe and come to feel is a lot more advanced than perhaps Eight decades previously when Pluto was observed, and unquestionably the transformative advancement of awareness has evolved dramatically ever since the breakthrough discovery of Uranus in 1781.
Astrology is definitely quite a distinctive and challenging strategy for self-introspection what exactly can we do with the freshly uncovered planets and in what ways should we decipher them inside the natal chart? Fundamentally you can expect to explain the dwarf planets, (from time to time identified as centaurs) just like you would all other planet within the chart nonetheless you should take into mind the fact that the orbit for these particular planets is large additionally, the sign that they're in is going to be generational, or multi-generational. For this reason to understand if and when and how these unique planets shall be distinctive for you personally they ought to come in contact with a different personal planet, similar to your Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars or Mercury. Then this symbols which depict these planets will vary and transform the understanding and affect the way in which life can be.
Varuna, Makemake and Quaoar originate from creation myth from various areas of the planet. They all are out of a unique community, Varuna; creator God from India culture and religion, Makemake, belonging to the ancestors of the south pacific Easter Island, and Quaoar, stands out as the identity of the creation deity of the Native American Tongva culture which existed in the the southern part of California.
Anytime these particular dwarf planets are pronounced and also set off in your own chart it's possible to implement the potential within your imagination to actualize ones wants in your life. If perhaps you are aware of a person who likes visualizations, creative visualization along with the constructive power of ideas which construct the real world you happen to be experiencing a healthy Makemake and Quaoar. When you contain either of such dwarf planets traveling your own Sun, Moon, Mercury or Venus by means of transit you will possess extra skill to take advantage of the ability of the intellect to develop ones own life.
If perhaps you were conceived with one of these creator planets with your own individual natal planets or against your ascendant or mid heaven you've got the pure possibility to actualize into the real world that which an individual put your thoughts to. Possessing a formidable Makemake or Quaoar will help, nevertheless knowledge of the astrological impacts will enable anyone to establish the organic attributes from the manifesting dwarf planets.
Eris and Sedna are a couple of dwarf planets which happen to have a corresponding subject in prevalent, sensing disregarded. Typically the archetype studies and difficulties within the mythology regarding Eris and Sedna are actually displaying while in the everyday life of individuals in serious and trivial forms. Maybe you have were feeling mislead or tricked by everything? Sedna is triggered if you experience a condition that you experienced in which you are musing about it of a superior society, a happier situation, one which will accomplish an individual's hopes and dreams. Next a problem shows up that claims, for those who go there, accomplish this or perhaps be beside me, devote is such and such, you are going to now have what you long for. The center of Sedna ensues that journey, be it heading to classes to secure a college degree that an individual is advised provides an occupation, or get married to somebody who assures a joyful existence alongside one another, or transfer to a completely new location where she's discovered that prospect plus a improved lifestyle is out there, only to realize not one of the expectations aspirations and needs came about. Discovering their self inside of a unique area and condition often times more serious off than ever before beginning to feel tricked by means of phony assurances.
Eris conversely is not really that naïve, she actually is formidable willed and her very own individual. Nevertheless Eris archetype is turned on every time a individual senses or simply is overlooked. Sometimes it is minimal, similar to being overlooked of the company or faculty click or huge, not permitted within a institution when an individual is aware that other individuals with similar qualifying criteria were admitted. We have an indignation which goes coupled with Eris, an disfavor that characterizes not being a part of the guests. Eris can usually get highly upset, wounded and indignant, even revengeful whenever she's been snubbed. The lesson of Eris is to always discover how to develop your group of friends where you're inviting others rather than allowing it up to other people to ask you inside their party. This is certainly troublesome in many aspects because there are specialized associations, regardless of whether for career or hobby, which really can be pretty closed minded of exactly who they permit to be element of their group of friends. Studying to construct your own group and group of friends is often part of your life course in the event you hold a potent Eris individuality.
Most of these representations happen to be appearing a great deal currently. If they're transited together with the faster changing planets you will discover the mythology
archtypesworking in news bulletins plus in the day-to-day lives or those you deal with.
Possibly it's tough to keep pace with the many fresh planets which are being located, still this also is a depiction of how we live. It is hard to keep pace with adjusting science, the newest information necessary for one’s employment, health-related and research improvements. Once just a few generations earlier it had become actually possible to learn about all of the information that humankind recognized, since there wasn't very much known These days even comprehending every thing you should know in a single topic presents a problem. Nonetheless, all these fresh advancements for astrology stands out as the manifestation of one's quickly ever growing environment. Mastering and examining the centaurs and dwarf planets stretches and delivers additional interesting depth and abundance and comprehension within the chart analysis. It contributes greatly whenever someone can establish what kind of myth you happen to be connecting with, not simply for recognition and realization on the human experiences, but additionally to understand to find out how to let go the structure for restoration in addition to a more joyful existence. www.lovinglightastrologer.com/dwarfplanetsastrology.htm

The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

The Sharpie Show
“An exhibition by artists who utilize marking pens as part of their craft”
Opening Reception with Beats by DJ Phyz Ed and Live Printing by Two Rabbits:
Saturday, February 7th, 2009 from 6pm - 9pm
In the Graffiti subculture, practitioners are known as "writers" because graffiti is about writing your name on as many surfaces as possible. Although many writers elevate their art form to the level of creating huge and beautiful murals, they all began their journey as an artist by first learning to write and perfect their name. The Sharpie marker is often the first tool a writer acquires in his lifelong journey to hone his craft and in becoming an artist.
The Sharpie Show, an exhibition curated by renown graffiti artist Man One, featuring original pieces created using Sharpies by some of the best known graffiti artists in the country (and beyond). Aside from graffiti artists, work by tattoo artists and known illustrators; Lalo Alcaraz and Overton Loyd will be on display. From stylized hand signatures, to throw ups, piecebooks, stickers, and any other possible object that can be marked upon, this exhibit will demonstrate the level of creativity that can be achieved between an artist and his/her most basic tool - The Sharpie.
***Exhibit runs thru March 1st, 2009***
