She answers to Charlotte, Charchar, Charchar Binks, Binks, Charlie, Charliegirl, but NOT Cutiepatootie! She vehemently denies being a cutiepatootie! She will tell you she is NOT that, and she will state “I am Charlotte…….(pause) and I am beautiful!”. No self esteem problem here, for sure! Her personality is one of confidence, with a touch of spitfire. She is clever and sometimes sassy, and a sweet bundle of love, along with that. I am her go to….she screams with joy when she sees me arrive and she cries big ol’ tears when it is time for me to head home, breaking me heart every time. She loves animals ( especially my cats and her 6 month old adopted puppy) and making art with Oma ( or Omie, depending on who I am that day! She eats darn near anything especially tomatoes and fruits and veggies and fish tacos…and if she spots dessert, she will announce that she does not like her chicken, just her broccoli to see if she can con you into still having that dessert! She is caring and the first one to get her “prayer hands “ in place to say grace before the family has meals and reminds them about saying Grace. Occasionally she will even make an attempt, by saying “Thank you for this food, Amen. Now we can eat!” I love her to the moon and back, and more. Oh! And she LOVES books and being read to! Finally, I think I have an up and coming Reader. My other grands will read but only Lileigh is getting into it more as she is now 13…ack! Time flies…
Art displayed on Lincoln Place, Brooklyn.
I asked artist Oasa DuVerney , as she was working on this display (along with a collaborator on the project)
what is the last word going to be?
as only: "The song that I sing is part of...."
were the words displayed at the time
She answered that I would have to wait to find out.
I guess that is part of the experience of interacting with this art, taking in the message/quote, and sometimes waiting for the full message to be displayed.
I think it was worth the wait.
BTW--this artwork is shown in a scene from the documentary "The Sun Rises In The East"
This abandoned wagon seen alongside Utah State Route 24 is a reminder that people lived in this remote country not very long ago.
Since nobody has lived in the area since the 1950s, it has probably been here for about seventy years. I wondered what it carried and from where to where? Why was it left behind when its owner left?

Reenactors in the Continental Army answer questions from spectators after landing on the New Jersey side of the river in the annual Christmas morning crossing of the Delaware.
Many of the wonderful reenactors pictured here are of the 3rd New Jersey Grays, who can be found here: www.jerseygreys.org/
"George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River, which occurred on the night of December 25–26, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, was the first move in a surprise attack organized by George Washington against Hessian (German auxiliaries in service of the British) forces in Trenton, New Jersey, on the morning of December 26. Planned in partial secrecy, Washington led a column of Continental Army troops across the icy Delaware River in a logistically challenging and dangerous operation. Other planned crossings in support of the operation were either called off or ineffective, but this did not prevent Washington from [marching his troops 19 miles through the night, ultimately] surprising and defeating the troops of Johann Rall quartered in Trenton. The army crossed the river back to Pennsylvania, this time laden with prisoners and military stores taken as a result of the battle.
Of the Hessians quartered in Trenton, 22 were killed, 92 wounded, and and 918 captured. The Colonials suffered 2 frozen to death, and 5 wounded.
Washington's army then crossed the river a third time at the end of the year, under conditions made more difficult by the uncertain thickness of the ice on the river. They defeated British reinforcements under Lord Cornwallis at Trenton on January 2, 1777, and defeated his rear guard at Princeton on January 3, before retreating to winter quarters in Morristown, New Jersey.
The unincorporated communities of Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, and Washington Crossing, New Jersey, are named in honor of this event." (Wikipedia, and History.com)

Lost my hard drive while I was uploading these photos on the 9th, with years of photos on it... until my husband found the program from Wondershare "recoverit". Highly recommended. If you ever lose a drive, use this before you do anything else. As far as I can see ALL photos where recovered! He bought the full version, in my opinion, well worth it!

At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance

I've been reading a lot lately. So many great emotions can one book bring.. so many beautiful quotes you can find in the books, that you may relate to.
I choose this one for the simple photo I took in Brugge, Belgium.

I’ve always seen the seaside as a peaceful place, where reconnect with myself.
Humans are strictly bond with nature. After all we couldn’t live without all this complexity that surround us. Now, more than ever we need to find our own individuality, and our questions searches for earthly answers.
Sea knows it all
But after all it’s only a ‘JOKE’ (if you close the door…)

Seeking answers to that nagging question, “How were these enormous canyons formed?”, I have at last found evidence to support my long-held hypothesis! Judging by the teeth marks, it is quite obvious that colossal groundhogs chewed their way through solid rock, creating the deep canyons found around the Southwest.
This opinion will likely be lambasted by the scientific community as yet another kooky theory voiced by an amateur knucklehead scientist, but, I ask you, what other conclusion is possible?!
My next step is to search for the culprit, Marmota monaximus.
This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Planar 1:2.8 f=80mm lens and Zenza Bronica 67mm SY48•2C(Y2) filter using Kodak 400TX film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
Here's the answer to my recent abstract post. Simply a glass of water, refracting sunlight onto a vitamin D tablet at lunchtime. Not set up, I just noticed it when I put the glass down. Thanks to all those who had a guess. Happy New Year to you all :-)
I apologize for my lapse in answering emails and posting new images for the last 4 weeks. I just returned from nearly 4 weeks of international traveling that included trekking in the Himalayas and some time in Thailand. I hope to have some images processed soon from the trip, but for now I have to continue posting some older work.
This is an image from a short trip I took to Death Valley a couple weeks before I left for Nepal. I spent some time here at nearly -300 below sea level, and two weeks later I was trekking at 16,000 feet under the tallest mountains in the world. I hope you enjoy the image.

I remember driving to church that Sunday, September 16, 2001. My church, at the time, was 24 miles from my front door... that drive took me through part of Durham, onto I-85, and into the countryside through to Cedar Grove. I passed many other churches along the way... one thing they had in common this day was that each church appeared to be experiencing an overflow condition known as SRO... Standing Room Only. Americans were responding to events of the previous week, now known as 9/11. They were looking for answers.
I know without doubt that some of those churches had little to no answer to 9-11, other than to make poor attempts to sooth and console those in attendance. I know because that also occurred at my church. In the ensuing weeks, those SRO numbers tapered back to 'normal' conditions... the crowds obviously didn't find the answer they were hoping for. With their 'repentance' taken care of, they might return at Christmas, or Easter... or not.
The 2nd chapter of Revelation opens with a description of the Church of Ephesus, a church not unlike many others, even today, busy about the things that Christians do, which is a good thing, right? Jesus took issue with that in verse 4: "Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first." Just exactly who is that first love? Why does it matter? There's a whole lot to be said for that statement, especially concerning the condition of this world 17 years after 9/11... it also means the answer so many were looking for then is the same as it is now. If folks understood the depth of that answer, Sundays would still see SRO conditions at every church.
On September 11, 2001, 19 Islamic terrorists gave their lives in Jihad as they turned four large commercial aircraft into guided missiles. 2977 innocent people became victims that day in their unholy war... to have the world bow to their vision of what is just before their god. Around 33 AD, another man gave His life so that all may be justified through Him and live. There's an answer in there somewhere.
John 3:12 - When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
This is the 1000-watt light shining through the restored Fresnel lens of the Bodie Island Lighthouse on North Carolina's Outer banks... historically, its light has reached out over the Atlantic as a navigational aid, and has saved lives, which seems more than analogous to Jesus' statement concerning Himself. It's just beginning to rain as this shot was made, just the dynamic conditions that made this light necessary.
See Stephen's response below - it is indeed Alstone Sidings at Cheltenham!!

But where is it, there are a few clues in the photo. This will be either very difficult or very easy.
I have been experimenting in PS and have attempted to highlight the clouds but may have lost the original colour. I may replace it with a more natural version.

When I agree to interviews from magazines or answer questions after a talk, I'm often asked who my heroes are. I take this question to mean 'Who are those men and women whose qualities, skills, output, etc, you most admire?' I could speak of those achievements I most admire - Darwin, say, for conceiving one of the most important ideas in science; or Gandhi, for showing the power of non-violence - but I always think of my heroes as more personal to me. I name thinkers such as Peter Singer or Germaine Greer or David Foster Wallace, who raised my consciousness and really changed the way I think about life; or actors and musicians like Jackie Chan, for the sheer joy his body of work has brought me ever since I was a child; or like Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, whose voices and words have comforted me through nights when I could not sleep because my heart seemed to ache.
And then this week I met one of my heroes, and spent enough time with him to do more than just shake his hand and say thank you.
When I learned that the cinematographer Chris Doyle was going to be in Glasgow and I was invited to have dinner with him, to get drunk with him and, as it turned out, to shoot a short film with him, I was at first gripped less by excitement or exhilaration than by an anxiety that I couldn't understand or pin down. But then I realised it has to do with a problem that I face in almost all human interaction: how to be authentic, how to be sincere, how to be true and how can you be true if you're always thinking about what it means to be true and judging yourself on whether or not you're doing it? It's a conundrum that the aforementioned David Wallace often explores so well in his work:
"Imagine you've gone to a party where you know very few of the people there, and then on your way home afterwards you suddenly realize that you just spent the whole party so concerned about whether the people there seemed to like you or not that you now have absolutely no idea where you liked any of them or not... (plus of course it almost always turns out that the people at the party actually didn't like you, for the simple reason that you seemed so inbent and self-conscious the whole time that they got the creepy subliminal feeling that you were using the party merely as some sort of stage to perform on...)" The solution Wallace proposes is asking a question "perilously close to "Do you like me? Please like me," which you know quite well that 99% of all the interhuman manipulation and bullshit gamesmanship that goes on goes on precisely because the idea of saying this sort of thing straight out is regarded as somehow obscene. In fact one of the very last few interpersonal taboos we have is this kind of obscenely naked direct interrogation of somebody else. It looks pathetic and desperate." (DFW, Brief Interviews With Hideous Men)
And if you are the kind of person who feels like this in most interactions with other human beings you've just met, then the problem is intensified when those other human beings are unusually talented or intelligent or kind or wise or have offensively beautiful faces or bodies. This unusual talent or intelligence becomes even more intimidating when it has affected you directly, not just in a Gosh I'm Such A Big Fan kind of way but like If You Hadn't Done What You've Done My Own Life Might Be Very Different.
So it is with Chris Doyle. The beauty and the power of images would probably have revealed themselves to me another time in another way, but as it is it happened when I was sixteen, watching Christopher Doyle's images move upon the screen in my bedroom. Until then, I took photographs only because it amused me to do so; because it helped me overcome my shyness, because I liked to look back and remember. I didn't care if the photographs I took were beautiful, or if they spoke.
I remember, while we were at dinner, at one point thinking "OMG I'm having dinner with Chris Doyle!" It was like looking down while walking across a rope bridge. Before then, I had been fine; I had been myself (my drunk self, anyway, but that's probably more me than my sober self is). But what lessons did I learn? I hope to hang out with Chris again, and I like him, but he's no hero: he's just a man who makes beautiful images and those beautiful images affected my life in a substantial way. Why do I need him to like me, or like my work? Of course this is just a cliche, a truth which I knew but which, having been able to apply it through experience, now I can feel. I was reminded of the words of my friend Martin Firrell:
"I think one should give up one's heroes, if one has any. By all means, revere the gift, but the gift is never the man."
Glasgow, 2013.
