One of the most surreal moments of the whole night was when I asked a question during the Q&A, and for a moment, Mark Cohen himself was there, answering *my* question, talking to *me*. I can't put into words the emotional weight those very few moments will have with me forever.
I was recently asked the question by a friend “How far have you seen with your telescope?” I did not know the answer off the top of my head. He seem satisfied when I side stepped the question and told him that by just using my eyes I once make out the Great Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253) during a night of perfect seeing from a mountain top in the Hawaiian Islands. NGC 253 is 9.8 million light years which easily sets my “without aid” long distance record (note, a light year is approximately 5.88 trillion miles or 9.5 trillion kilometers). Anyway, out of my own curiosity I started to look through my past observational logs to see what the answer to his question was. Quasar Q1634+706 turned out to be my record. I observed it from a dark location in West Virginia, far away from city lights, with my 45.72 cm (18”) reflector. The light from Q1634+706 observed that night left the quasar 8.6 billion years ago. But the universe is receding fast at that distance and thus the quasar had traveled a lot since it sent the light that I saw. Q1634+706 real distance was closer to 12.9 billion light years. Unfortunately, I did not make a drawing of that observation. However, what really surprised me was that my second place of the furthest objects I have seen through a telescope was with a more modest-sized 155 mm (6.1") refractor from the deck of my house. Considering that the sky over my house is light-saturated this came as a surprise. The above drawing is of quasar 3C-273 made on February 15, 1999. The small dot just to the left of the 3C-273 label is the quasar. This quasar is approximately 2.4 billion light years from the deck of my house. It shines 4 trillion times brighter than our sun (visual magnitude = 12.9, absolute magnitude = -26.7). The light I was seeing from my home deck that night left the quasar 2.4 billion years ago – to me that is so cool.

It is useful to have external access to the tape guide contact signal, the one that indicates the end of the announcement tape. I therefore removed the 5 pin DIN socket (used for a microphone) from the announcement recording PCB to replace it with the 7 pin one seen next to the PCB here. I removed the coupling capacitor too, for better access.

Many of the members had never been to The Pointe before and had several questions pertaining to Supportive Living.
When I first started the artists answer essential questions project, I wanted to experiment with pareidolia: a concept in which objects and such depict familiar images rather than their intended image to the viewer. It was a great idea and I was definitely looking forward to experiment with it. However, it was taking me awhile to identify the “natural pareidolia” I was looking for. Because of this, I made the decision to change my essential question to: Can the ambiance of plain and unattractive scenery, change with an added subject? It took me a while to come up with this question. It also took me a while to find friends that were available for a photoshoot; Unfortunately they all had filled schedules. Despite my given situation, I came up with an alternative plan.
Considering that I don’t like taking pictures of myself, I made it a challenge of mine to get out of my comfort zone and act as the subject for each of my shots. In each picture, as you can tell by the question, I tried to position myself in a background that did not have anything spectacular happening. In addition, I dressed more formally to counter the plain and unappealing background of each image. furthermore, I used props to hopefully take the distraction off of the background and onto the subject. Lastly, I used light leak overlays to make each image more playful and creative.
I believe that I could have found backgrounds that were more unappealing, but due to the time constraint I had, I chose to use my aunty’s house as a studio; her house is NOT unattractive, I just chose spots that had nothing really happening (sorry aunt Chi). Anyways, in regards to what I think of my project as a whole, I think I did a fairly good job.
Sometime after her marriage to a much older man, Lizbeth began to worry when no baby got started. Tests showed that her husband was "almost" sterile. Several years of prayer and the miracle - a healthy baby boy. He is 22 days old in this picture and is already holding up his head and pushing to get closer to Mommy.

For what do you make art? Once upon a time the answer was simple: you make art for the greater glorification of God. And so, in the west, images from the life of Christ dominated the visual—and the architectural—for centuries. A cathedral may be based on the Holy Trinity, as may the composition of a painting. Within that cathedral you may glimpse paintings through dim light, with those shadows accentuating the drama of the painted image. And then art was loosened from the tether of God’s glory; but not for Olivier Messiaen: a passionate Roman Catholic, yet one who nonetheless constructed his glorifications from a deeply personal musical idiom. And so as we view “Old Masters” through antique light in a modern architectural masterpiece, we hear an old story re-imagined in a series of miniatures, jazz fragments, stained shards.
The Ideal (Dis-) Placements Concert Series at the Pulitzer is held in collaboration with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. The pieces performed relate directly to the exhibition Ideal (Dis-) Placements: Old Masters at the Pulitzer and are performed by members of the Saint Louis Symphony. Each of the programs are chosen by Music Director David Robertson based on the way they relate to the exhibition concepts and the works of art on view.

If I envy anyone it must be
My grandmother in a long ago
Green summer, who hurried
Between kitchen and orchard on small
Uneducated feet, and took easily
All shining fruits into her eager hands.
That summer I hurried too, wakened
To books and music and circling philosophies.
I sat in the kitchen sorting through volumes of answers
That could not solve the mystery of the trees.
My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
Smiling, in faulty grammar,
She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career:
So to please her I studied - but I will remember always
How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
All the wild sauces of the brimming year.
