Algae - Trentepohlia aurea v. polycarpa. This microscopic alga thrives on ocean salt spray and forms dense colonies on Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) along the Pacific coast. Despite its color, the species is actually a green alga. The chlorophyll pigment is masked by high levels of beta-carotene, the orange pigment found in carrots. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.

Wet & Forget was applied to many surfaces in Mackinac Island including, wood roofs, stones, siding, and the oldest stone wall in Michigan. Most of these surfaces were covered with moss, mold, algae, and lichen.
"The best way to predict our future is to invent it."
(Alan Kay 1971)
Open Sailing aims to design and invent future lifestyles to overcome any possible natural and manmade disasters stimulating people’s ingenuity and sense of solidarity. Might it be global warming or energy conflicts, we are living in a time where we are sniffing the ‘Apocalypse’, finally realising our human part of responsibility as the earth is crumbling. 2012 is a year when a collection of apocalyptic events are rumored to happen. We are taking 2012 as an ideal dystopic symbol we design for. 2012 is tomorrow, we must design quickly using these constraints and invent bootstrapping DIY technologies.
Open Sailing method is to convert apocalyptic threats into design constraints. From our compiled set of threat maps, we found that oceans are the safest locations. Ocean survival architecture became our new starting point, but we need to go further than surviving : how can we live together in this new fluid configuration and remain a hyper-connected intelligent social being? We are trying to make a truly “open architecture” : pre-broken, under-defined, reconfigurable, moveable, pluggable, organic, fluid. Can we reach a harmonious dynamic state of interdependence with each other and the earth? Is this the next step of civilization progress? Will we dissociate our concept of progress with infrastructure and metropolis?

44/366: Algae Falls
Another photo from last weeks hike around Timber Creek in the Rustic Timbers neighborhood. I loved the way this Algae was so vibrant and spontaneous in movement. After crossing to the other side of the creek, I had to wait several minutes for the movement in the water and algae to settle down before taking the photograph.

Algae are a large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms, such as the giant kelps that grow to 215 feet in length. The US Algal Collection is represented by almost 300,000 accessioned and inventoried herbarium specimens. The largest and most complex marine forms are called seaweeds. They are photosynthetic, like plants, and "simple" because they lack the many distinct organs found in land plants.
Algae are found in the fossil record dating back to approximately 3 billion years in the Precambrian. They exhibit a wide range of reproductive strategies, from simple, asexual cell division to complex forms of sexual reproduction.
Pentax PC35AF, Kentmere 100 @ 100
Los Angeles County, California, March 2022
Found while exploring some new curvy roads. Negative is a dusty, scratchy mess, but I love this sign. First roll with my newly-acquired PC35AF. Had one as a kid, kept it with me all through college, and this one is once again my constant companion. What a delightful little camera. Never did find any algae, though.

Probably not it's real name. Not really even a lake. It had a lot of little streamy algae in it though.

To see some of Kaitlyn’s work, visit her Flickr! Kaitlyn’s unique style contains a contemporary and nostalgic twist, sometimes portraying unidentified people doing everyday-life tasks and other photographs somewhat with this style. It is obviously under construction, however, because I’ve seen millions of her pieces that aren’t up yet, so I recommend you go view it, just a taste! ;D
