(The text on the graffiti says: "Now my life really begins. Fighting against injustice, racism and poverty with the face that the world knows so well." Mohammed Ali)
I took a picture of this pair of Warhol serigraphies in Venice at the last Biennale (2007). I worked out them in PS to correct perspective distortion. Too bad I wasn't able to correct the bad lighting reflection.
To see the original hanging one next to another is what I call an "aestetic experience".
Troppo forte Andy!
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.โ
It's not so much the photo as it is the backstory.
The smaller bridge in this photo is the Tunney Hunsaker Bridge.
Tunney Hunsaker who, at the time was Fayette County Police Chief and Cassius Clayโs first opponent in a professional boxing bout.
On October 29, 1960, Tunney Hunsaker met Cassius Clay's (later Muhammad Ali) in the ring in Louisville, KY.
Tunney, age 30, wasnโt sure what to think of this young 22 year old fighter who drove up in a pink Cadillac. Tunney, an experienced fighter was confident of victory, but that was not to be. Clay won the six rounds in an unanimous decision. Although Tunney was devastated by the defeat, he later became proud of his ability to stay in the fight for six rounds with the three time world heavyweight champion.
After the fight Hunsaker said, "Clay was as fast as lightning ... I tried every trick I knew to throw at him off balance but he was just too good". In a thumbnail profile of the fight the following January, young Cassius was reported as having remarked that Hunsaker's style was far different from what Clay had been exposed to as an amateur and Olympian; the young fighter admitted to nervousness going in, and that Hunsaker's aforementioned pro style, had given him trouble. This respect appears genuine, as it was lastingโin his autobiography, Ali said Hunsaker dealt him one of the hardest body blows he ever took in his career. Ali and Hunsaker became good friends and stayed in touch over the years.
In 1964, Clay coined the phrase "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.โ In a fight against Sonny Liston who had been the heavyweight champion since 1962.
The skinny, Hunsaker was the police chief of Fayetteville, W.Va., when he fought Cassius Clay, who won the six-rounds with an unanimous decision. Hunsakerโs eyes were swollen shut by the end of the fight, and afterward he said, โClay was as fast as lightning. I tried every trick I knew to throw at him off balance, but he was just too good.โ
The Fayette Station Bridge carrying County Route 82 over the New River at the bottom of New River Gorge has been named for Hunsaker.
In the fight game, Hunsaker was a small heavyweight, perhaps better suited for light-heavy classification (175 lbs. limit). He fought as a boxer-puncher, by his own telling. Hunsaker once appeared on the undercard at Madison Square Garden. Hunsaker ended up with a record of 17 wins with 15 defeats with 8 wins by way of KO. His career ended after a boxing-related head injury suffered on April 6, 1962, in Beckley, West Virginia. Rushed to a Beckley hospital, Hunsaker was in a coma for five days during which he underwent two brain operations. Hunsaker suffered the physical effects of his last match for the rest of his life. He was 74 when he died after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

(Es). Historia: Leรณn. Espaรฑa. Cassius no se ha ido esta semana, solamente nos estรก esperando. En la Calle La Paloma, cerca de la Plaza de la Catedral estรกn preparando un espacio donde establecerรกn dos o tres furgonetas, creo que Volkswagen California, para despachar bebidas y tapas, con mesas y sillas en una gran terraza central, decorando las paredes de los edificios que limitan el recinto, con tres grandes graffitis; uno de ellos es el de Cassius. Ahรญ estรก Fray mirando tranquilamente a donde Cassius envรญa el puรฑetazo. La idea y el proyecto del lugar son de Fernando y Julio, los chicos de "El Tribeca", otra cafeterรญa de Leรณn, en el pasaje de Burgo Nuevo.
En El Tribeca, hicimos el martes pasado la Rueda de Prensa de la Plataforma Sacrificio Cero. La Diputaciรณn de Leรณn aรบn no tiene implantado el Sacrificio Cero de aquellos perros abandonados que son recogidos por la empresa que tiene el contrato de recogida. A los 21 dรญas son sacrificados cruelmente. Llevamos tres aรฑos insistiendo con el Diputado de Medio Ambiente, pero no hay forma, de momento, de que convierta el procedimiento actual en otro mรกs humano y acorde con la sensibilidad de la sociedad de hoy, por ejemplo: publicitar los perros para adopciรณn, entregarlos a Asociaciones Protectoras, etc. La conciencia de muchos polรญticos espaรฑoles es tan ancestral que debemos plantearnos que no podemos tener este tipo de polรญticos viviendo de nuestros impuestos y mucho menos organizando las sociedades.
Toma: El local estaba vacรญo, realizando labores de limpieza del suelo durante la finalizaciรณn de las obras de acondicionamiento. Aprovechรฉ para hacer unas fotos con Fray posando por la zona. Con la ayuda de amigos conseguimos que la atenciรณn de Fray fuese la que necesitรกbamos. Le digo a Fray que se siente y que siga ahรญ quieto mientras, para mantenerle unos segundos sentado pero mirando a la izquierda, estรกn un par de amigos fuera de plano por esa zona. No me cabe la menor duda de que en su cabeza estaba la incertidumbre de seguir haciรฉndome caso o acercarse a jugar con ellosโฆ porque exactamente eso fue lo que hizo al cabo de unos segundos.
Tratamiento: Con Lightroom. Original en RAW. El encuadre estรก ajustado al tamaรฑo de Cassius, eliminando el fragmento de grafitti que hay a la izquierda. Por la derecha recorto para evitar una pared completamente blanca y un anagrama de una marca de cerveza. Luego tengo que resolver el problema del alto contraste entre las luces y sombras con que tuve que tomar la escena.
ยกEso es todo amigos!
(En). The History: Leรณn. Spain. Cassius has not gone this week, is just waiting for us. On Calle La Paloma, near the Plaza de la Catedral, are preparing a space where they will park two or three vans, I think the model Volkswagen California, for dispensing drinks and tapas, with several tables and chairs in a large central terrace, decorating the walls of the buildings bordering the site, with three large graffiti; one of them is Cassius. There's Fray quietly watching where Cassius throws the punch. The idea and the project whorehouse place are Fernando and Julio, the boys of "The Tribeca", another cafe de Leรณn, in the passage of Burgo Nuevo.
Last Tuesday, at the Tribeca, we had a press conference of the Platform "Sacrifice Zero". The "Diputaciรณn" of Leon still has not implemented the Zero Sacrifice of dogs are abandoned, and are collected by the company that owns the collection contract. At 21 days are killed cruelly. For three years insisting Deputy head of the Environment, but no way, at least so far, to change the current procedure to another more humane and consistent with the sensitivity of society today, for example, advertise dogs for adoption , deliver to Animal Protection Associations, etc. The conscience of many Spanish politicians is so ancient that we must consider that we can not have this kind of political living off our taxes and much less organize our society.
Taking up: The place was empty, making some operators the cleanup of soil during the completion of the refurbishment. It was a good time to take some pictures with Fray posing in the area. With the help of some friends, we got the attention of Fray whatever it needed. I tell Fray to sit there and keep still while, to keep a few seconds sitting but looking to the left, are those couple of friends offstage in that area. I do not doubt that at the head of Fray was uncertainty keep doing case or approach play with them ... because that's exactly what he did after a few seconds.
Treatment: With Lightroom. Original in RAW. The frame is adjusted to the size of Cassius, removing graffiti fragment there on the left. On the right I cut the scene to avoid a completely white wall and an anagram of a trademark beer. Then I solve the problem of high contrast between light and shadow that I had to take the stage.
That's all folks !!
(Fr). Histoire: Leรณn. L'Espagne. Cassius n'a pas disparu cette semaine, attend juste pour nous. Sur Calle La Paloma, ร proximitรฉ de la Plaza de la Catedral, prรฉparent un espace oรน ils pourront stationner deux ou trois camionnettes, je pense que le modรจle Volkswagen California, pour distribuer des boissons et des tapas, avec plusieurs tables et des chaises dans une grande terrasse centrale, dรฉcoration les murs des bรขtiments bordant le site, avec trois grands graffitis; l'un d'eux est Cassius. Il y a Fray regarder tranquillement oรน Cassius jette le coup de poing. L'idรฉe et le lieu de whorehouse du projet sont Fernando et Julio, les garรงons de "Le Tribeca", un autre cafรฉ de Leรณn, dans le passage de Burgo Nuevo.
Mardi dernier, au Tribeca, nous avons eu une confรฉrence de la Plate-forme "Sacrifiez Zero" de la presse. La "Diputaciรณn" de Leon n'a toujours pas mis en ลuvre le Sacrifice Zรฉro de chiens sont abandonnรฉs, et sont collectรฉes par la sociรฉtรฉ qui dรฉtient le contrat de collecte. A 21 jours sont tuรฉs cruellement.

Prendre: L'endroit รฉtait vide, ce qui rend certains opรฉrateurs le nettoyage du sol au cours de l'achรจvement de la remise ร neuf. Il รฉtait un bon moment pour prendre quelques photos avec Fray posant dans la rรฉgion. Avec l'aide de quelques amis, nous avons eu l'attention de Fray tout ce dont elle avait besoin. Je dis Fray pour y asseoir et maintenir immobile pendant que, pour garder quelques secondes assis mais en regardant vers la gauche, sont ceux couple d'amis hors de la scรจne dans ce domaine. Je ne doute pas qu'ร la tรชte de Fray รฉtait incertitude continuer ร faire affaire ou jeu d'approche avec eux ... car c'est exactement ce qu'il a fait aprรจs quelques secondes.
Traitement: Avec Lightroom. Original RAW. Le cadre est adaptรฉ ร la taille de Cassius, en supprimant le fragment de graffiti lร sur la gauche. Sur la droite, je coupe la scรจne pour รฉviter un mur complรจtement blanc et une anagramme d'une biรจre de la marque. Puis-je rรฉsoudre le problรจme de contraste รฉlevรฉ entre la lumiรจre et l'ombre que je devais prendre la scรจne.

Esta musica em compuz em 2011 e alguns de voces ja a conhecem.
Hoje eu acordei com uma questao milenar,
foi o ovo ou a galinha que ninguem sabe explicar ...
Eh o famoso forro koniitwa...
Mas nao era bem la que eu queria levar voces.
Acordei hoje tarde pensando, cantando, como disse minha mulher.
"Cuidado com o buraco Tuta".
Mulher,eu passo aqui todos os dias, e nunca vi buraco nenhum, e o carro sacolejava mais do que o antigo balaio que ligava o centro ao Parque Riachuelo.
"Ahhh Tuta, voce eh oblivio a tudo, voce e sua musica
voce e sua musica"...
Que que minha musica tem a ver com isso mulher?
Ahhhhh, descutir com mulher nao vale a pena .
Como se ela estivesse dizendo que eu vivo no mundo da musica, no mundo da lua...
Pensem bem, se meu pai nao tivesse me tido junto com minha mae, ou se minha mae nao tivesse me tido com meu pai ela nao seria minha mae.
Ou se mamae tivesse bigode ela seria meu pai.
Entao nao teria dia das maes.
Sinistro, como se o cachorro nao tivesse parado para dar uma cagada, ele teria comido o coelhinho.
A gente, nao estou entendendo mais nada.
Porque que eu tenho que levar presente para a minha mulher no dia das maes, sendo que eu nao sou filho dela, sou marido.
Ta bem ta bem, os pais tambem merecem entao estarem representados aqui.
Mas se nao fossem por nos homens nao teriam as mulheres filhos ou filhas, e se nao fossem pelas mulheres, nos nao estariamos aqui.
Entao papai, mamae, mais uma vez eu agradeco por voces terem metido.
Hoje eu acordei com uma questao milenar ....
Feliz dia das maes atrazado, estive ocupado ontem ...
E mais uma vez, discutir com mulher eh bobagem....
E lembrem sempre...
Homem que faz querra durante o dia
nao ganha um pedacinho de paz a noite.
kkkkkkkkk

This is a J. Arthur Dixon postcard printed in Great Britain, it shows the nighttime view of Piccadilly Circus looking north towards Shaftesbury Avenue. Under the Coca-Cola sign, the film โThe Dirty Dozenโ is being advertised. This space had been used to advertise films showing at the Leicester Square Theatre or the Empire in Leicester Square but in this case, it is an advertisement indicating that the film was being re-released all over London. This is November 1969 and it is having a second bite of the cherry, it was originally released in September 1967 and played at the Leicester Square Theatre until the end of October. The film starred Lee Marvin and a host of Hollywood stars including Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Ernest Borgnine, Clint Walker and Robert Ryan, it is still shown on TV at regular intervals. Clint Walker unfortunately died in May this year, he played โPosieโ in the film but will always be remembered as โCheyenne Bodieโ in the TV Western series โCheyenneโ from the early 1960s. The film was shot in England at locations just north of London in the summer of 1966, during a lull in shooting the cast received a visit from Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali who was in England to fight Brian London whom he dispatched in the third round. The boxer also took time to visit my old school, Tulse Hill Comprehensive in 1974 on his way back to the US after the "Rumble in the Jungle" where he was made an Honorary Governor. There is a sign over the Coca-Cola sign advertising, rather appropriately, three rum brands produced by United Rum Merchants. The company had formed in 1946 after the company of โPortal, Dingwall and Norrisโ invited two other rum importing companies to share their premises at 40 Eastcheap after โAlfred Lamb & Sons" and โWhite Keeling Rum Merchantsโ were bombed out of their buildings during the blitz, this sharing of premises inspired the formation of United Rum Merchants in 1946. The company of โAlfred Lamb & Sonsโ had been formed in 1849 and began to import Jamaican Rum and at one time had the contract to supply the Royal Navy, as did โLemon Hart & Coโ, they provided 100,000 gallons of Rum annually during the 1840s. The Hart family were German Jews, Abraham Hart arrived in Penzance during the early 18th Century, he was a Goldsmith by trade, but he acquired other business interests which led him to the West Indies Rum trade, but it was his Grandson, Lemon Hart who established the company and lent his name to a brand of Rum before being taken over by โPortal, Dingwall and Norrisโ. Iโd like to think that โWhite Keeling Rum Merchantsโ produced Daiquiri Rum but it may have been a product of the new company in order to cash in on the popularity of the Daiquiri cocktail.

โStevie Wonder & Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali โ Vintage 1963 Press Photograph
A rare vintage 1963 press photograph of โLittleโ Stevie Wonder meeting boxing great Cassius Clay, taken the year before he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. The photo was taken at one of Wonderโs concerts at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York, 1963. While the photographer is unknown, there are three dates written on the back of the photograph, noting that the photo was taken in December 1963, and this print was used for reproduction in a publication in March 1964.
