From a rain-shortened shoot with the lovely and so wonderful to work with Echo (Model Mayhem# 1304495).
Strobist: Twin Lumopro 160s at 1/4 power with 1/2 CTO gels through a Apollo 28x28 softbox, about 3 o'clock, and only about 4 feet high.
To get this shot, I crouched down in water up to my waist.
“Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.”

I don’t know anything about this weird SF toy except that it was made by Echo in China. I found it unboxed at a thrift store so I have no idea what it was called or when it was first produced. It’s powered by two “AA” batteries and it races around at a very fast clip.
It’s about 4½” long, too small to work with 3¾” action figures. The partial driver figure cannot be removed from the vehicle.
Thrift store find; May 30, 2016; 49¢.

Displaced by a house fire and without a support structure, Echo and her cat have been awaiting housing and surviving as best they can on the street.

I bought another food dispenser for Echo. Here she is eating her lunch. I think this one is a bit too easy for her.
The turret at the left has been hit and on fire. Cool!

SAM describes the work this way:
Echo was modeled on the 9-year old daughter of a restaurant owner near the artist's studio in Barcelona. With computer modeling, Plensa elongates and abstracts the girl's features. The sculpture references Echo, the mountain nymph from Greek mythology. As told in Ovid's Metamorphoses, Echo offended the goddess Hera by keeping her engaged in conversation, and preventing her from spying on one of Zeus's amours. To punish Echo, Hera deprived the nymph of speech, except for the ability to repeat the last words of another. Plensa created this monumental head of Echo, listening with her eyes closed or in a state of meditation. The artist envisions Echo to look out over Puget Sound in the direction of Mount Olympus.
Governor Markell told the 11th annual Delaware Healthy Mothers and Infants Consortium Summit on April 13 at the Chase Center that health equity and comprehensive access to contraception will help to reduce the state’s infant mortality rate and “change the trajectory” of lives. “So many of these babies, they get off to a rough start in life,” the Governor told the more than 400 attendees, “and it’s hard for them to catch up.”
Delaware’s infant mortality has declined more than 17% from 2005 to 7.7 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2013. DHSS Secretary Rita Landgraf said, “While any loss of life is too great – especially for Delaware’s families who must endure that unspeakable pain – it is clear that by working together we have made progress and we are trending in the right direction.” Secretary Landgraf called on members of the consortium to further embrace the fact that housing, education transportation, environment and economic policies are all, indeed, health policies. “That is practicing true population health for all.”
Gov. Markell said it’s important to health care providers to ask women of a child-bearing age: “Do you intend to have a baby in the next year?” If the answer is no, he said, women might not know all of the contraception methods available to them, including new IUDs “that are incredibly effective and completely reversible.” In Delaware, 57% of all pregnancies are unplanned, a rate that is higher than the U.S. average. The Governor said enabling women to become pregnant only when they want to enhances opportunity “and changes the trajectory of their lives.” The Division of Public Health has formed a public-private partnership with Upstream USA to provide training and advice to health centers to improve reproductive health in the state and access to contraception.
Attendees also heard from Public Health Director Dr. Karyl Rattay; Dr. David Paul, Chair of the Delaware Health Mothers and Infants Consortium; and keynote speakers, Dr. Michael Lu, associate administrator of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and Dr. Sarah Verbiest from the Center for Maternal and Infant Health at the University of North Carolina.
Dr. Lu said in 2013, 40% of babies were born to unmarried mothers. He said researchers believe that the chronic stress that many women live under today is passed along to their babies. “You’ve got to start taking care of women before they get pregnant,” he said. He said actions include: Improve women’s health across the life course; strengthen families and communities; and address social and economic inequities.
Dr. Verbiest echoed those sentiments and said one of the challenges for the health care system is how to manage pre-conception health. She said one strategy is to engage communities in the conversation. “As a society, how do we care about our moms and babies?” she asked in pointing to the fact that 30% of low-income moms can’t afford diapers.
