This past year Mateo recorded the film for the Academy Award-nominated “Juno” Inspired by the loss of a friend's daughter, Mateo made it his mission to raise money for uncompensated care at Seattle Children's. The journey began eleven years ago and continues today with Mateo producing extraordinary annual benefit concerts. In 2008 it took place at Benaroya Hall in Seattle.
Mateo: “While on the journey of unfolding what An American Symphony would sound like, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to a photographer I have come to admire. He sees our American landscape a little different than the rest of us. His portrayal of America is beautiful, immeasurable, and each image holds a surreal quality. I've worked with Gavin Farrell to handpick each image to be displayed across the entire backdrop of the symphony hall synchronized with each performance.”
Gavin: WHAT A NIGHT! So many talented musicians and artists; they actually had to extend the length of the stage: Symphony composer Mateo Messina, the band Eisley, the Evan Sisters, Matthew Schoening, the North West Symphony, the Pacific Children’s Chorus, the North-West Chorale, The Whittier Elementary School Choir, the Total Experience Gospel Choir, Mariah McManus, and it felt like the entire city of Seattle was there! I was honored that my work could be a part of this amazing experience.
Nominated for an award in 2009. Whilst it is excellent to have more public art, using good materials by accomplished artists, a question was asked: is it in the best place?
The project was launched in February 2008 with great support from James Hehir, chief executive of Ipswich Borough Council. The plan was to erect a permanent memorial to the Prince who was killed when his Hawker Hurricane crashed at Martlesham Heath Airfield in 1940. He was 24 years old when he died and was buried in Ipswich New Cemetery.
An Oxford graduate, England rugby player and world war two fighter pilot, Obolensky’s statue by Harry Gray was unveiled in February 2009 by the his niece, Princess Alexandra. It stands on Cromwell Square in Ipswich.

“I nominate,” Rapidamente en Uno said, pausing for affect, “El Bronce.” en Uno’s announcement was met with whistles - - both pro and con! Even before the noise could die down, El Viejo flapped his way to the Podium Branch.
In the Golden Eagle Conclave, the debate was about to be begin. This was, or at least could be, the most important day in El Bronce’s life, for if the election went his way he would become “Master of the Sky” for the next five years. And, as the Golden Eagle is the National Bird of Mexico, it would mean that he would be considered the most fantastic fowl in Mexican airspace! Finally, this was the first time ever that an Eagle from the Oaxaca Region had ever been nominated, and El Bronce knew how much it would mean to his community should he win.
En Uno joined El Viejo on the Podium Branch and the strutting began. It was a contest, with the winner flying away, allowing the loser to speak first. It was most advantageous to speak last at the Voting Conclave, thus explaining why the winner would fly off.
Winking at his friend, en Uno made his way to the Podium Branch. A fine example of Golden Eagle himself, someone could just as easily have nominated him. El Bronce was glad no one had, as he really liked his friend and wouldn’t want anything like this to come between them. Fortunately, he was a most formidable ally rather than a competitor.
“There is so much I could say about El Bronce,” en Uno began, “but all I will say is JUST LOOK AT HIM!!!” en Uno then paused to allow all of those present to do so. Without meaning to, El Bronce inhaled deeply allowing his chest to puff out, making him even that much more magnificent. And, magnificent he was! His body, head, wings and tail were a glorious array of beige, brown and bronze with intricate patterns of geometric and hieroglyphic-like markings. His gold beak separated brown/black eyes, and his tail and wings had deep bronze tips.
“Let me just ask you this,” en Uno screeched, “do you want El Pesada - the heavy one to represent you, or the bronze one - El Bronce!”
The whistling was deafening almost to the point of maddening. Everyone knew actually taking the vote was only a formality, and El Bronce won by a landslide. Replacing his friend on the Podium Branch, El Bronce began his victory strut, noting to himself that he would never complain again when his wife dragged him to the tanning salon!!!!

Eisner-nominated creator Jeff Lemire's Essex County Stories are easily among my favorite graphic novels that have hit the shelves in the last few years, not least for his unique linework and use of brushes.
1. Nominate something you are going to go out and hunt for - the more abstract the better
2. Give yourself a time constraint
3. Go out and start work
4. Ask yourself why everything else that you encounter is so much more engaging than what you are hunting for
5. Ask yourself whether the time constraint is a useful tool
Richard Wentworth (See examples of his work here.)
This is the thirty-fifth instruction for the Street Photography Now Project, written to inspire fresh ways of looking at and documenting the world we all live in.
l remember seeing Richard Wentworth's exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in 1993. One of the pieces was called From Boost to Wham. Back at school I got my class to collect the correct sweet wrappers which we put in a copy of the Pocket Oxford Dictionary and displayed in the school entrance hall. (One boy's mother brought him in to confirm that it really was part of his homework to buy a Boost bar, eat it and bring the wrapper in to school. It was one we didn't have and I was pleased to get it :)
Wentworth's photographs seem to be seen by chance, so how can one nominate something which one might see only occasionally? l guessed that a discarded sweet wrapper wouldn't be too hard to find, so l set off on the hunt for a Wentworth discovery - it didn't take long :)
From the 1978 NRHP nominating form:
Pleasant Hill, a small Cumberland Plateau community, is located eleven miles west of Crossville, the seat of government of Cumberland County. Pioneer Hall, the oldest Pleasant Hill Academy building, stands in the center of the town on the old Crossville-Sparta Road.
The three-story, rectangular frame building, which was designed by Rev. Benjamin Dodge, measures fifty-six feet long and thirty feet wide. (The original design called for the building to be thirty-six feet long but its length was extended by twenty-feet before it was completed; a shed roof covers this section.) It has a stone foundation and a full basement. The weather boarded building is surmounted by a Mansard roof which was originally covered with hand-shaved, white oak shingles coated with crude petroleum and painted with mineral paint. When completed in 1889, a hipped section rose above the Mansard in the northeastern half of the roof, and this was topped with a rectangular, balustraded widow's walk. These elements were removed during a ca. 1920 renovation and replaced with a shallow gable section. At that time a large single chimney on the southeast elevation supplanted the four internal stacks; these chimneys remain just under the present composition shingle-clad roof.
A large gable dormer with paired four-over-four light windows delineates the center bay of the three-bay façade (northeast elevation); this element is flanked by shed dormers with six-over-six light windows. (The remaining windows of the façade duplicate those found in the gable dormer.) Prior to ca. 1920, the center bay of this elevation had a small balcony with a balustrade and supported by simple diagonal braces-a diminutive gabled stoop, shelters the entrance of the present building. Sidelights and a headlight surround the single-leaf door. The builder used a brace and bit and keyhole saw to decorate the pediment of the gable dormer, Mansard edge trim, cornice, and window lintels; holes drilled partially or completely through the boards and occasionally joined with saw cuts create a variety of unusual and decorative patterns. The same fenestration configuration appears on the five-bay northwest and southeast elevations. All of the dormers on-these walls and the three-bay southwest elevation are shed dormers.
The plan of the first floor is irregular; the rooms, which once included a lobby, school office, principal's office, and storerooms, cluster around a staircase located in the approximate center of this level. A longitudinal central hall bisects the second and third floors; the stairs rise in the center of the halls. Students' rooms lined both sides of the central hall. The attic is unfinished and useful only as storage space. Throughout, the twenty-four room interior has beaded-board walls and ceilings and narrow board floors.
Pioneer Hall, the only remaining, unaltered Pleasant Hill Academy building, is representative of an era in the educational history of the state which, until it was recently revived, had largely vanished—the private academy system. During the years immediately following the Civil War, Cumberland County, like many other counties in the state, had no free public schools; subscription schools operated, but access to these was limited by the ability of the student's family to pay the tuition costs. The American Missionary Association recognized the plight of the plateau residents and sent a teacher to Pleasant Hill in 1884. Pleasant Hill Academy was founded shortly thereafter, and by 1887 classes were being held in the new Academy Building.
The second school building, Pioneer Hall, was begun in 1887 and completed eighteen months later. Benjamin Dodge (1818-1897), a Maine-born Congregationalist minister, donated the land, designed the building, solicited the necessary funds, and supervised the construction of the dormitory. Until housing for the female students could be built, Pioneer Hall served as a co-ed dormitory—a novelty in the nineteenth century. Stylistically, Pioneer Hall would not attract attention in Rev. Dodge's native New England; however, in Tennessee very few such buildings—particularly those with widow's walks-were erected, and fewer still have survived.
The American Missionary Association in general, and Pleasant Hill Academy in particular, contributed considerably more to the Cumberland Plateau region than uplifting the educational level of the residents. The school helped to improve the quality of life of these isolated, mountain folk by providing their initial educational experiences. The academy closed its doors in 1947 when the county school system assumed the responsibility for teaching the children of Pleasant Hill. Among the alumni of Pleasant Hill Academy are numerous teachers, librarians, school administrators, attorneys, physicians, ministers, and businessmen, most of whom continue to live and work in Cumberland and the surrounding counties.
The Pleasant Hill Historical Society of the Cumberlands has expressed a keen interest in the preservation and restoration of Pioneer Hall. This organization is comprised of many of the academy's former students. The building is now used as a thrift shop and for other community activities. Although some minor alterations were made during the more than ninety years of the building's existence, it remains structurally sound and in relatively good condition.
