This was painted after watching a documentary on "Jesus and Art". It was interesting on how paintings evolved and represented the times.
London, United Kingdom - Friday 20 January 2012 - London Muslim Centre - Evolving World, a speech on the role of the International Court of Justice by President of the World Court, H.E. Hisashi Owada.
All I can really say is that this show was bigger and better than I had ever hoped for. Evolve took on a life of its own and so many of the artists shared their own powerful stories of overcoming whatever life has tossed along their path.
Over 20 photographers, ceramicists and artists were part of this event. Gay, straight, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, Black Latino, White, Armenian, poor, broke, rich, wealthy, HIV positive, HIV negative and even two homeless individuals were all artists in this show. The was a direct representation of what Los Angeles looks like and together we showed why we are the City of Angels
About 400 attended the opening at Art Share-LA in Downtown Los Angeles. The event was a complete success with people coming from as far north as Sacramento as far south as San Diego. New York, Denver and even two folks from Atlanta made the trek to the Evolve opening. I was completely blown away.
Big thanks to all the artists for their beautiful pieces, my family, friends and supporters for continuing to embrace my work through Project KengiKat and Do Something Saturday and to everyone who donated and attended the event I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
Driving down to the harbour, I saw this image, needs better light, and maybe a slightly longer focal length.
One to come back to.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TURTON TOWER
Turton Tower evolved from being a simple stone Pele tower, which was built around 1420 as a defensive fortress, to an impressive and comfortable residence by the Tudor and early Stuart period. The simple stone structure was added to with timber extensions by the Orrell family transforming it to a lavish house. In doing so, however it would appear that they overspent and were forced to sell. The tower was purchased by Humphrey Chetham in 1628. The Orrell’s continued to live on at the tower renting the tower from him. During the civil (1642-1650), the Orrell’s were Cavaliers where the Chethams supported the Roundhead and this must have made for interesting times at the tower when Chetham garrisoned his troops within the Turton estate!
The Greene and Frere families were the owners in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and they continued this tradition of keeping houses elsewhere although the house was occupied for some time by members of the Horrocks family who are still numerous in this area.
The arrival of the Kay family in 1835 saw Turton Tower transformed into a romantic Gothic building. They changed the south front, built a ‘mock tudor’ extension and rebuilt the Summer House which is now on private ground but can be viewed from the tower. They supported the building of the railway nearby and created a tennis court in the grounds.
The Kays departed in the 1890s and, after occupation by several more tenants, the property was purchased by Sir Lees Knowles and used as a hunting lodge and weekend retreat. On his death in 1929 Lady Nina Knowles, his widow, gave the tower and grounds to Turton Urban District Council to use for the benefit of the public. Since then the tower has been used as council offices and since 1974 as a museum and historic house. Turton Tower is now owned by Blackburn with Darwen council.

Festival De Mascaras, Hatillo, Puerto Rico 12-28-11
Unlike past years when I've shown color images of this festival, I decided to go black and white. Although there was a profusion of vivid color, I felt that the faces, cultural essence and traditions of this festival were best rendered with the freshness and timelessness of monochrome. The costumes and floats are usually constructed starting in January and worked on throughout the year. Many people I spoke to complained that the cultural and religious aspects of this event have been diluted with festival themes that reflect the coarseness of North American pop culture and values. The absence of political content was interesting given the global awareness of the Arab Spring and OWS. The only restrictions placed on the overall designs were those related to public safety. Various neighborhood and farm sponsored groups are organized by float owners who develop a particular theme, provide costumes, food and refreshment to individuals who pay approximately $400.00 for participating in the festival ride. Although participants were mostly adolescents and young adults, children, families and older folks also took part.
I arrived at 7am in the Plaza of Hatillo and then walked to one of the staging areas outside of town where I began a many mile journey into the countryside and then back to the town Plaza. Originally the plan had been to hire a cyclist to drive me to avoid massive traffic jams of cars, people and horses. Since this plan fell through, I decided to ride festival floats getting off in various countryside barrios to capture the pulse and cultural mix of the people. In addition to photographing while riding the floats I got off to shoot along the way. When I got to Barrio Lechuga (approx 5.5 miles from Hatillo), I walked (thankfully down-hill) all the way back to town where I was able photograph part of a folkloric dance group performance as well as covering the review of festival floats arriving in the town plaza. Though the FDM has a religious and folkloric history, in recent years it has evolved into a cross between, carnival, April Fools Day and Halloween. The amount of noise and mayhem was as overpowering as always. Although in the beginning I had some anxiety about my (and equipment) safety given the prevailing general chaos, people were welcoming and friendly. It turned out to be an exciting and memorable12 hour photo safari. It's a good thing I''ve been working-out recently because it turned out to be a fun but grueling day.
A BIT OF HISTORY:
El Festival de Mascaras de Hatillo se celebra desde que los españoles fundaron esta ciudad en 1823. Representa la historia bÃblica de Herodes cuando ordenó la matanza de todos los niños para asà matar al niño Jesús. Los hombres cubiertos con máscaras de colores representando a los soldados corren o cabalgan por la ciudad en la mañana temprano buscando a los niños. Hay comida, artesanÃa y música.
There is a Tradition each year on the 28th of December which is known as the Máscaras (Masks) of Hatillo. This Tradition dates back to 1823, when the town of Hatillo was founded. This Tradition came with settlers from the Canary Islands. The meaning of this tradition is the Holy Innocents, or Santos Inocentes: the first martyrs of Christian faith from Matthew's story in which small children were killed by Herod in an unsuccessful attempt to kill Jesus. It is a very special day with lots of fun and a large meeting of Mascaras: masked men and women of all ages, who wear costumes according to tradition, typically covered from head to toe, and parade through their town and nearby towns all day, making jokes and having fun, followed by a large multiple, and celebrated procession through all the town and nearby town's neighborhoods, and ending at the Hatillo town center. It is a multi-dynamic and wonderful experience for everyone in Hatillo and nearby towns. This special tradition came from the Canary Islands, the main place from Spain where the Hatillo, Camuy, and nearby town's Spanish immigrants arrived, mainly in the 1800's. Many of the people of Hatillo, Camuy, Arecibo, and other nearby towns are proud to call themselves "Isleños", or people descended from Canary Island immigrants.

As some of you know I have been keenly interested in a movement, started by Jay Cross, called the unbook. I have gotten some questions about how the unbook differs from a traditional book, so I thought I would answer them here.
The driving forces behind the movement are the acceleration of business change and the inability of traditional publishing to keep up. With new technologies such as print-on-demand and online marketplaces, authors can now publish books, in both electronic and print formats, at the push of a button. The unbook, due to these factors, operates in a fundamentally different way than the traditional book.
A traditional book is released in editions. When a work is revised or updated, a new edition is released. These revised or updated editions usually offer small, incremental changes, such as a new preface or introduction, a new chapter, or small changes to the content.
An unbook is more like software:
1. An unbook is never finished, but rather continually updated, based on feedback from users andtheir evolving needs.
2. An unbook is released in versions. As in open source software, version 1.0 of an unbook is a significant milestone, indicating that it is stable and reliable enough for use by the general public. The significance of a new release is indicated by the size of the gap: For example, the difference between 1.1 and 1.1.3 is minor, while the difference between 1.1 and 2.0 is major.
3. An unbook is supported by a community of users who share their experiences and best practices with each other, and help each other troubleshoot problems encountered in their practice areas. An unbook’s community is a very real part of the unbook’s development team.
I have published an unbook, Marks and Meaning, to catalogue my continuing efforts in the field of visual thinking and information design, and to develop a user community focused on that discipline.
An unbook is mindware: software for the mind: And in the case of Marks and Meaning, my hope and intent is to develop not just software, but an operating system which improves on our current thinking models and makes our minds more useful and usable.
In the same way that graphical user interfaces (GUIs) improved the usability of computing devices, I hope, with your help, to develop a graphical operating system for the mind.
The field of information design is developing so rapidly that I believe an unbook is the only way to do this.
I believe that the unbook form has real potential, especially for emerging disciplines like information design, such as user experience design, agile software development, social media, and knowledge management, as well as established disciplines which are undergoing significant change (finance? government?).
To support these efforts, Jay and I have set up a website to support the unbook movement and provide a comprehensive catalogue of available titles. Please take a moment to visit theunbook.com/ and leave us a note! And if you are working on an unbook or plan to start one, let us know so we can add it to the uncatalogue.
