Now referred to as the "Wise House" the house was orginally the home of lumber/cotton baron--Edwin C. Holt whot constructed the home using some of the most exotic hardwoods available worldwide. The house was purchased in 1919 by Jessie Hargrave Kenan Wise. The majority of the beautiful wood (the hallmark of the home) was recently painted over during UNCW's "restoration" of their Alumni Office. Tiger oak stair and hardwood flooring fortunately avoided wall-to-wall carpeting.
Next door, (then two-doors down) the Thomas Emerson house (then-president of Atlantic Coastline Railroad). The house was purchased in 1923 by Sarah Kenan, and was rebuilt after being gutted by fire using salvaged pieces with a fire-resistant steel and concrete superstructure. "Miss Sarah" lived there and the sisters (and family) continued to buy up real estate after surrounding buildings burned or became available otherwise, and completed an eight-nine foot prison-like "privacy wall" around the properties. The outrageously wealthy Miss Sarh lived on inside the self-imposed-deterioration of Kenan house until just before the end when some say she actually moved into the home of staff—thinking she was insolvent.--the final stages of dimentia. She finally succumbed to what many feel was lues in 1968.
Rumor has it that banking executives from New York came to Wilmington to finally settle the estate, during their visit literally millions of dollars in cash, silver, etc. was inventoried.
The homes, along with furnishings, and ancillary works of art were ultimately donated to UNCW--a public school. The university continues to spend hundreds of thousands of supposed “donations” to maintain and staff the home as a private residence for the Chancellor of this state institution—quite a perk! Occasional receptions are held in the public areas of the home, supposedly justifying the expense.
When ownership of the property moved from the Kenan family to UNCW, two cases of wine discovered in the basement vault were split between the Kenans and Chancellor Wagoner. The university’s case was finished off that summer by workers—twelve bottles of CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD.

This is part of a project I have for my Photography class. It's film based, but for this assignment we could use something we could relate too, or something we found interesting or unique to process the pictures. Of course, I went right to PS.
These are film pictures overlapped for a double exposure effect.
The lutradur has been burnt back to the resist using a heat gun. I always do this outside due to the danger of inhaling the fumes.
I don't know if I am going to use this in my current piece, but I just want to see how heavy the text looks using this technique
Connectivity and readymade practice : experimenting, manipulating and combining daily life objects in order to attempt, to force or to mystify a workable connection between them, at least to make it visible and/or possible. This exercise is to be considered as a warm-up, a first step towards a further installation or project.

The cheapest adapter rings available are very good material for experiments with a lathe and producing totally new objective+camera combinations...

Divided up into five groups, young people take a close-up look at social reality. What’s the deeper meaning of the terms trust, humanity, social innovation and resilience? These concepts occupied the attention of Red Cross founder Henri Dunant, and are still deserving of consideration today.
