Kids are amazing! I was showing Jacob how to clone out a third person in this image when he took control of the mouse and added in this little playmate instead...

I certainly would like to have known what was behind that door, but the door itself was behind this counter area so I probably couldn't sneak back in there without being scolded.

Originally a photojournalist, Guy Tillim has spent a large part of his career documenting social conflict in Africa for media agencies including Reuters and Agence France-Presse.
Of his project Avenue Patrice Lumumba Tillim explains, “Modernist architecture was the hook on which I hung the project, but it is not about that architecture – it’s not a survey. Rather, these were the places that I had got to know while working as a photojournalist; I had always been struck by the bizarre stage that they provided.”
On exhibit at the Lannan Foundation Gallery July 23 - Sept 4, 2011.

Yesterday it was a spiky Mohawk. Today it is gelled flat. Interesting to see what the new neighbor does with it in the days and weeks to come.
Sunday afternoon, Jingu Bashi next to Harajuku Station, and dancing "U2 guy" was going for it. All day long! Of course, he stopped briefly when his mobile phone rang. Really, a sight that needed to be seen (and heard) to be believed. Mari and I got a good giggle, for sure! November 3, 2007.

The guy ropes on our canopy were a little too long. Luckily I was a boy scout and able to tie a sheepshank!
It was a shame that it was late before I realised the best viewpoint, so one standard was missing, but impressive still.
kirchner museum, davos, 1992, architect: guyer gigon
'The Kirchner Museum Davos was the first large commission to be realised by Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer. It is now seen as a pioneering example of a new understanding of museum architecture, combining functionality and aesthetics, intrinsic architectural value and service to art in a remarkable way.
Taking their point of departure from local conditions (climate, light, flat-roofed Davos architecture), but above all from considerations about an ideal encounter of viewer and artwork, the architects designed four cubes (the exhibition halls) linked by a branched foyer with wide facade windows as a space for reflection and repose. The foyer also offers a view of the Alpine landscape which so inspired Kirchner’s Swiss work.
There is a skylight above each hall which evenly distributes the multiply filtered daylight into the spaces through its lateral glass facades. The basement contains the museum’s office and service spaces.
Gigon / Guyer used glass, concrete, steel and wood to create a crystalline building reduced to essentials; but in their extremely sensitive combination of these materials they also achieved subtle and complex architectural formulations which transform the deliberate simplicity of the museum’s exterior and interior into a built equivalent of the expressive power of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s art.'
I'm a closet car guy. I really like cars.. Not just shiny ones, either. Whether a Rusty pick up on blocks and half-concealed with overgrowth or a sweet, show-ready, freshly waxed Porsche GT3 I see around town with the vanity tag: "NOWIFE". I really like cars.
(and I love my wife) :)
There's interesting and subtle art in the curves of car bodies and the oxidizing decay of metal over time. The stories and the history from the car culture Americana of the 50's through the street racing rice-rocket tuners: it's all super fascinating and interesting. The art is there, the history and the people. Car people are typically cool to be around. Especially the sorts that load up and sit around in lawn chairs at car shows.
Something about a functional garage too.... The mixture of smells from gear oil, GoJo and transmission fluid and the sounds of impact wrenches and the distinctive (clank clank) sound of a breaker bar hitting a concrete floor. Like Starbucks ambiance for the motor-head soul.
This.. leads me to owning two super impractical vehicles. This one, a high-ish mileage R171 Mercedes-Benz AMG55 and a 1990 AM General Military HMMWV in a Vietnam-era Camo paint scheme. On the plus side of things:
Neither vehicle is particularly expensive in used-car form. Choosing a car for a commute is a little like the select-a-car screen from the Cruisin' USA Arcade game. The convertible has a snappy 5.4l V8, that will go 0-62 in 4.9 seconds with 200MPH on the speedometer, stiff suspension and a throaty exhaust that sounds like the offspring of an American-made muscle car and a Euro-Drift tuner.
The HMMWV has a 6.2l Detroit Diesel engine pushing a beastly 5200lbs. It rides on 37" MT Military on/off road tires, offers 4WD, and 0-65MPH in about three days, which is also the top speed. It is built for ruggedness, can be forded and is super-simple to work on.
On the down side of things, neither vehicle is particularly suited for Long Range trips with cargo. The Benz burns premium fuel, uses nearly 9 quarts of the most expensive oil possible. Neither vehicle make me a particular great steward of the environment in terms of fuel economy. I also, generally like to fold in and out of the public without being noticed like a hermit-ninja. It turns out that ostentatious vehicles increase the difficulty of this task... considerably. :)
At any rate... that's my car-stuff ramblings for now. I ran before a gathering of photographers to the Fairhope Pier and snapped this photo. Adventures were had but more on that another time...
Find a car show near you and go listen to the rumble of a V8, flutter of a Turbo, whistle of a Supercharger or the purr of a tuned European exhaust system and tell me it isn't infectious..
