Mary Magdalene
Hispano-Filipino
c. 1750-1815
Solid ivory image surrounded by a silver radiance known as a “Rafaga”.
Height of Ivory: 9 in; 13.5 in to top of crown; 17 in to top of radiance.
Overall Height w/ Base: 19.5”h.
This imposing figure is supposedly an ivory carving of the image of Mary Magdalene. But this is an intentional deception in that in this iconography, she is presented as if she were the Virgin Mary. She wears a silver crown. And her entire body is surrounded by a nimbus of light known as the “Rafaga”. At first blush, one is lead to believe that this is an image of the Virgin. And since the Rafaga is traditionally associated only with images of Christ or the Virgin, the addition of this feature was an intentional act to deceive.
According to the auction catalog, this image was formerly in the collection of a Connecticut gentleman and his wife who lived in Columbia for over a decade. This object was purchased from a friend who told him that the image was found in Cali and is reputed to have arrived at Buenaventura, Columbia from Acapulco sometime between 1665-1815.
However, a closer examination of the figure reveals the truth. This is not an image of the Virgin nor any of the Catholic saints. This is a standing image of the goddess Guan-Yin. On her right hand, she holds a rosary-like chaplet of beads but those are just Buddhist prayers beads and have no Catholic symbolism. On her left hand she is supposed to hold the “Holy Grail”. In actuality, she holds a Ruyi scepter, a ceremonial talisman in Chinese Buddhism symbolizing power and good fortune in Chinese folklore.
The dates provided are also irrelevant and misleading. The years between 1665 and 1815 span the entire period of the Manila Galleon trade. Anything and everything arrived in the New World from the East at this time! In other words, they are meaningless.
Although attributed to the Hispano-Filipino workshops, the carving style of the image is not consistent with Philippine carving of images of the Virgin or other female saints. The image wears a long robe which falls in lanky horizontal folds ending at the hem. Her toes do not peep through. She wears no mantle. The edges of the tunic are decorated with geometric designs unknown in Philippine iconography. The carving of the hair is wrong for this attribution. The eponymous “suksuk” or tuck is missing. And her lips are not painted with the trademark orange-red hue of Philippine made saints.
It’s amazing what a little bit of silver can do to fool the eye.

Happy April Fools Day people!
Anyone play any good tricks?
I babysat my little minions today :)
We went for a bike ride and painted rocks and made a sail boat out of sticks.
Then I told them about camera remotes and they were amazed so we attempted this about a million times.
We can get a little out of hand out of hand.
But we're capable of pretending we're normal.
And at the end of the day they still love me.
I apologize for all the pictures :P

One advantage of going together on a trip with another photographers is that you can pick up a thing or two skills to add to your arsenal. This time I was schooled by some of my friends namely, Adri, Felix and Budiono about seascape. I learn about low angles, extreme composition and few other things.
This photo is taken with the camera literary few inches off the water surface. Big risk that you have to take to capture good photos. Was it fun? Yes. Will I do it again? Probably yes. Make sure that you clean your tripod afterward.
Tech stuff: 2 exposures for the waves, and 2 exposures for the skies blended together. Some contrast and color adjustment in Nik Software Color Efex Pro and Photoshop CS5

Fool's Bull was a veteran of Little Big Horn, and the shield seen here was made of materials he carried in that battle. This photo, by John Anderson, was probably taken on the Rosebud reservation, c. 1900.

April: April Fool! In the North Transept under the Five Sister Window, the 3D glasses and this story was left for visitors.
The enigma of the Five Sisters Window is revealed
The 13th Century grisaille window in the North Transept of York Minster, known as the Five Sisters window, has been an enigma for many centuries. At first glance it appears to be made up of a series of repeated geometric patterns, but purely by accident the secret of this window has been revealed.
Earlier this year a young family visited the Minster, having been to the cinema to see a film, which happened to be in 3D. The daughter was still wearing her 3D glasses as they entered and said to her parents “look at that!” Her parents thought she was amazed by the scale of the window, but as she kept telling her parents about the female figures they were mystified. It was only when they put on the glasses that they saw the same images that their daughter had seen.
(Stained and painted coloured glass plays optical tricks, often, when photographed, and especially on transparencies, certain colours – reds and blues can appear to be in 3D.)
Scientific research has shown that this is not just a chance happening, but was intended by the mediaeval glaziers, and the five sisters window was one of the largest optical illusions in mediaeval Britain. To most people it would look as it does today, but for some, especially those in the know, who could afford glasses the window would appear somewhat different. An example of the glasses used can be seen in one of the windows in All Saints Church on North Street in York, where a man is holding a simple pair of spectacles, but these would have had one green and one red lens (red glass was very expensive to make, so the glasses would have cost quite an amount).
In the North Transept of York Minster we have re-created the effect of the spectacles using pieces of red and green glass on a frame, and invite visitors to sit behind them and marvel at what our ancestors first saw!
If I displayed all my photos so far in this fashion, I would have 89 posters!

KUB - Billboards
Bregenz
Austria
"Mit Günter Brus (*1938, Ardning) zeigt das Kunsthaus Bregenz erstmals das Werk eines Wiener Aktionisten. Brus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten österreichischen Künstler*innen der Nachkriegszeit und Pionier der Body Art.
Die Billboards an der Bregenzer Seestraße, der meist frequentierten Straße der Stadt, sind fester Bestandteil im Programm des Kunsthaus Bregenz. Sie erweitern die jeweilige KUB Ausstellung in den öffentlichen Raum. Günter Brus zeigt auf den KUB Billboards einzelne Fotografien aus der Serie Selbstbemalung aus dem Jahr 1964."
It looks like the cross between a chip that has fallen out of some electronic device and a delicate piece of designer jewelry that I probably need to bring for my wife to pacify her for buggering off to Africa by myself again. Think again because it has legs and even can fly! It is a beetle in the weird and wonderful subfamily Cassidinae, popularly known as Tortoise beetles. There are many species of these small but exquisitely beautiful beetles all over the tropics.
The one we found today did not generously flaunt its beauty for all to admire but was hiding under the bark of a dead tree. It immediately played dead when we uncovered it looking even more like some small inanimate object. That at least made it fairly easy to photograph
This one's for all the Sully's out there - the everyman. RIP Paul Newman.
For those that have no idea what that means, this is Beacon, New York around the time that Nobody's Fool was filmed there. If you haven't seen it, watch it.
And came the ripples as my tired flesh prevailed
Thorny recollections that tumbled and twirled within
Traversed the sea of pain and heard the doubters wail
All hope of reconciliation, replaced by sin
A pathway followed, feet tentatively placed
This lonely man with soulless eyes so blinkered, blind
Eyes so sad as footsteps traced
In every moment, face of yours I find
I broke your heart and ran amok with glee
At leisure for my selfish deeds I pay
Ensnare a heart and cage it, captive, never free
And you will rule a foolish king each day
As broken as your will, I walk this day
Tortured by your loss, my careless actions cast
Forgive me from the other side I pray
My life so sad, until you do, must last
And came the leaves upon the gentle water flowing
In their demise such beauty touched my blackened soul
As though towards a better life and knowing
The joy along the journey be your treasured goal
I sat upon the rocky banks and dipped my fingers
The crystal waters ebbed and flowed with grace
Reflections of your purity then lingered
I turned away to hide my shameful face
We breathe so few, the precious breaths, like jewels
Upon the hallowed ground that Mother Nature tends
A long time dead, our legacy of kings or fools
On fate and actions surely must depend
And I, the fool, sit humbly by the lapping waters edge
The sound of your voice within my aching head
Deceit and lies, the promises of love I'd pledged
The twisted remnants haunt me of the words I'd said
The river soothed my cold and cowardly discontent
As quietly with the moss and reedy river I did lay
Pain and guilt within, not circumvent
My chances squandered, treat contempt each day
Forgive me for my failings deep and many
Reach out a hand from water cool and touch my flesh
As here I cry, devoid of virtues, any
Please here my sorrow deep, to you, confess
.

A Fruit Food is aptly named, since the word "Fool" is believed to have originated from the French word "fouler" which means "to mash" or "to press". And this is exactly what we do with the fruit to make this dessert. A Fruit Fool begins with making a puree from either fresh or frozen fruit.

And special thanks to AlishaV for using the CC license so that we could use an appropriately dominating cat. Thanks AlishaV!!
The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal.[5][6]
Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης (puritēs), "of fire" or "in fire",[7] in turn from πύρ (pur), "fire".[8] In ancient Roman times, this name was applied to several types of stone that would create sparks when struck against steel; Pliny the Elder described one of them as being brassy, almost certainly a reference to what we now call pyrite.[9] By Georgius Agricola's time, the term had become a generic term for all of the sulfide minerals.[10]
Pyrite is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds and as a replacement mineral in fossils. Despite being nicknamed fool's gold, pyrite is sometimes found in association with small quantities of gold. Gold and arsenic occur as a coupled substitution in the pyrite structure. In the Carlin–type gold deposits, arsenian pyrite contains up to 0.37 wt% gold.
