Photographs console us in the face of death and oblivion - it's their fundamental gift; they testify to what has been and what will be no more, and this testimony matters. It matters because oblivion is actually more than we can handle; because we get old and lose faith in the quick and competent gods of our childhood; because, unless we deny what our eyes see or turn ourselves into machinery, the future of everything is full of loss and disappearing; because we not only forget but we're also forgotten.

To be human is to remember.

The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a medium-sized, solidly built, short haired dog whose early ancestors came from England and Ireland. It is a member of the Molosser breed group. The American Staffordshire Terrier and The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) by breed are from the same lineage; Staffordshire’s was the name given by AKC, and American Pit Bull Terriers by UKC. The real difference between the two breeds is 6–8" in height and 25–35 lb in weight; the American Staffordshire Terrier being the larger of the two.
The dog was bred first to bait bulls and bears. When bear-baiting and bull-baiting were deemed inhumane, rat-baiting and dog fighting became more popular. The APBT Breed was used in both sports, and its prevalence in being put in pits with rats, or other dogs led to "pit" being added to its name.
From the UK, and originally intended to store dishware and cutlery, this console could find a home in many other parts of your flat. It's relatively petite, with compelling details like the handles--squares with cut-out circles. You could even hang the TV over it! This is worth getting creative for!

I set the console to the side to provide better access around it fore and aft. That is a minimal jumpseat for crew that don't feel like standing.
Working in a radio studio, this is a detail of an instrument we daily use.
We use this machine to mix the different sounds that have to go to air, like the voice of an announcer and the intro of a song.
Ever since I was a little boy I have been interested in anything radio, and a console like this one still fascinates me to this day.
The top is made of mango wood which has been left raw. All four drawers are fronted with mesh, as you can see.
the organ uniquely has two five-manual consoles: the first with a mechanical transmission in the gallery, the second on a platform with an electronic transmission that can be wheeled around the nave.
This mobile console lets the audience see the organist close-up – rather than just the back of his or her head bobbing away up in the gallery – and appreciate quite how hard co-ordinating your hands and feet really is.
