Little Akaloa....Out and about with my Flickr and blip friend on Banks Peninsula. February 20, 2016, New Zealand.
It was warm and wonderful so we packed up a lunch and headed for the hills and bays around the banks peninsula. It reached will over 30c today.. a bit too hot at times and there was no wind at all.
The historic gem of Little Akaloa is a church hidden away among old trees, commanding a fine view down the bay. The present St Luke's replaced an earlier wooden church and was completed in November 1906. It has an "old world" English-looking exterior, with walls of pebble dash on concrete, a slate roof and a small well-proportioned bell tower.
The surprise is the interior, which is embellished with carvings of predominantly Maori motifs, many delicately executed on white stone. The rafters are decorated with Maori patterns and support an imitation raupo rush ceiling. The windows have stylised Maori designs in coloured glass.
The church was built (and partly paid for) by a local resident, J.H. Menzies, who was "an amateur carver of the very highest order". It is one of the country's early examples of the incorporation of Maori decorative motifs in a European building.

This picture really touched me when I saw it for the first time the other day. I am working on saving some old slides, taken by my step-grandfather, Lucien Toucas. The only ones I have are from 1948 and 1964-65, and surprisingly the older ones seem to be in better shape. I was really happy about that, since they show my grandmother and mother when they were young.
This was when my parents met. My grandfather, who was the executive chef of The Hotel Astor in New York City, and my grandmother, decided to build a bungalow out on Long Island, which was to be for weekends and holidays. My father was the builder they contracted to do the job, and this is the foundation of that original building, as well as the foundation of our family since this is how my parents got together and my brother and I came to be.
Known in our family as "the Branch House", the bungalow became their permanent home eventually, and Pop commuted into NYC to work until his retirement. The name came from the fact that the bungalow grew as they needed the space and added rooms. It was always a place where Pop entertained company, and every Sunday afternoon we would go there, eat a late lunch that turned into dinner, as we all chatted around the table on the patio.
In this pic, my mother, Betty, is on the left and my grandmother, Julie is on the right. Mom was 24 in this shot and Ga-Ga was about 40-41. My grandmother died when she was 50. Mom lived to be 84 years old. Pop died the day after his 89th birthday, and my father, Charley, lived the longest, passing away in 1999 at the age of 92, just one month shy of turning 93 years old. He died the day before my mother's birthday. Ga-Ga died the eve of Mother's Day, thereby "ruining" it for my mom from then on. Pop died on Valentine's Day, and Mom topped them all by passing away at 4 AM, Christmas morning 2008, making sure she nailed both Christmas Eve AND Christmas Day! My family seems to go out with a bang, and fortunately, they also seem to do a lot of living in the time they have!
Just for the record, Ga-Ga loved attention and seemed very at ease in front of a camera, but no matter how good Mom looked, she always was self conscious. We have no portraits of her as a result. I imagine sitting on a thin board wasn't particularly comfortable, especially with Ga-Ga steadying herself on her shoulder! Though there's nothing to give you a size comparison, My mom was 5'1 1/2" at her peak, and Ga-Ga was only about 4'11" tall!
Well...Friday night was quite the night! Barack Obama, Annie Lennox, Kevin Bridges and Texas all in one night in aid of the The Hunter Foundation and the Obama Foundation! Obama was as charismatic, thought provoking and as pretty damn awe-inspiring as you would imagine. Felt very privileged to be one of 2 people allowed to photograph him at the event - a great all round experience!
All the entertainment absolutely rocked it as well - Kevin Bridges had me in stitches and Texas were phenomenal - they have been a prominent fixture on my Spotify all weekend!
Forms came off today. Lumber is expected tomorrow, and framing will start. The opening for the crawlspace on the west foundation wall makes it a lot easier to step into the studio than on Saturday. They expect to reuse many of the 2x6 boards as floor joists, which makes their use as forms make a lot more sense.

Paying It Forward ...
70 Cookie Artists, from 24 states and 3 countries, lovingly joined forces for a huge bake sale in a tiny community in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, to honor an incredible 13-year-old boy, his message and his foundation. We were unbelievably humbled by the outpouring of support and selfless generosity of these amazing Cookie Artists, who heard about Bo’s journey with Extramedullary Acute Myeloid Leukemia and his simple, yet profound message:
“Love each other, help each other, have your neighbor's back. If you see someone in need — even a stranger — reach out and help. This world can be a better place if we care and help each other.”

"Langen Foundation near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany is a museum designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The foundation showcases a collection of Oriental Art and Modern Art.
The museum was created on grounds which used to be a NATO rocket base. The building has double-skin volume and two half-buried temporary exhibition wings with a total area of 900 m²; the structure mainly consists of reinforced concrete, glass and steel. The museum offers three exhibition spaces totaling an area of 1,300 square meters. Situated within the ground-level concrete slab is the so-called Japan Room – an unusually long and narrow gallery conceptualized by Ando as a space of “tranquillity” especially for the Japanese segment of the Langen Collection. The two subterranean exhibition rooms, with a ceiling height of a surprising eight meters, were in turn designed to accommodate the modern part of the collection. The museum opened to the public in 2004."

The Beyeler Foundation or Fondation Beyeler with its museum in Riehen, near Basel, owns and oversees the art collection of Hildy and Ernst Beyeler.
Art dealers Ernst Beyeler (*1921) and Hilda Kunz (*1922), known as Hildy, created the Beyeler Foundation in 1982 and commissioned Renzo Piano to design a museum, the Fondation Beyeler, to house their private collection. The collection was first publicly exhibited in its entirety at the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid in 1989, and was subsequently shown at Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, (1993) and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sidney, (1997).
By building Renzo Piano's museum structure in 1997, the Beyeler Foundation made its collection permanently accessible to the public. In 2006, approximately 340,000 persons visited the museum. Hildy Beyeler died on July 18, 2008, and Ernst died on February 25, 2010.

On this side of the building is a hall with a wonderful view over the water lily pond, showing Monet's water lily paintings. One of my favorite museum spots.

Onze tentoonstellingen willen geen oase zijn. Onze presentatie is onaf, in beweging, ongepolijst, contradictorisch, slordig, complex, onharmonieus, levend en onmonumentaal, zoals de wereld buiten de museummuren.
De Verbeke Foundation is een private kunstsite die geopend werd op 1 juni 2007 door kunstverzamelaars Geert Verbeke en Carla Verbeke-Lens.
Cultuur, natuur en ecologie komen er samen. De ruimte herbergt een indrukwekkende verzameling van moderne en hedendaagse kunst en biedt als kunstenvrijplaats ook kansen aan jonge kunstenaars.
Met zijn 12 hectare natuurgebied en zijn 20.000 m² overdekte ruimten is de Verbeke Foundation één van de grootste privé-initiatieven voor hedendaagse kunst in Europa. De loodsen van het vroegere transportbedrijf van Geert Verbeke werden omgebouwd tot unieke expositieruimtes. Eén van de gebouwen werd ingericht om de uitzonderlijke verzameling collages en assemblages tentoon te stellen. De Verbeke Foundation is in een aanhoudend groeiproces. Kunstenaars kunnen er in residentie verblijven en grotere en kleinere tentoonstellingen wisselen elkaar af, waardoor de foundation er elke dag anders uitziet, zoals een ademend organisme.
Geschiedenis
In het begin van de jaren 1990 begonnen Geert en Carla Verbeke-Lens kunst te verzamelen. Na een initiële interesse voor abstracte schilderkunst werd de collectie geheroriënteerd naar collages en assemblages van hoofdzakelijk Belgische kunstenaars. De afgelopen jaren werd de verzameling verder uitgebreid naar hedendaagse kunst en naar bio-art.
Collages en assemblages
De kern van de privéverzameling bestaat uit een uitzonderlijke collectie van zo’n 6000 collages en assemblages voornamelijk uit de twintigste eeuw. Een aparte ruimte werd ingericht om een deel van deze collectie permanent tentoon te stellen.
Hedendaags kunst
De Verbeke Foundation wenst een plek te zijn waar cultuur, natuur en ecologie samenkomen. Het werk van bio-artiesten en van kunstenaars die met levende materialen werken (planten, dieren, geuren) sluit hier naadloos bij aan. Sinds de opening van de Verbeke Foundation in 2007 kon de verzameling uitgebreid worden met hedendaagse werken en in situ gebouwde installaties.
Visit to Stahls Automotive Foundation in Chesterfield, Michigan on March 15, 2014. The collection is open to the public on Tuesday afternoons from 1 - 4 pm, however, this was a private opening for two classic car clubs.
From front to back we see three Packards from the early thirties, a 1932 Stutz DV-32 and a 1930 Cadillac V-16 Phaeton.

So, a few days later, they laid the cement block for the foundation. At this point I saw the exact outside dimensions of the house. I Hope it isn't eating too much of the back yard up... as you can see, my house is about 1.5-2 times longer than the neighboring house.
Ariel-Foundation Park in Mount Vernon, OH is built on the site of the former Pittsburgh Plate Glass factory, with some of the original structures in various states of ruin. These shots were taken on Kodak TMAX 100 film with the Lomography Diana F+ camera, and developed in FPP Super Mono monobath chemistry. The monobath is a super convenient and economical way to develop your black and white film at home. The Film Photography Project store has a helpful guide that lists which film emulsions work best with the Super Mono.
Here's a link to a video that shows the process of using the monobath to develop this roll of film:
