My previous attempt to make it up to Jin Mao Tower by sunset was foiled when our driver took a wrong turn and deposited us into the 9th circle of Shanghai-traffic hell. We were nearing the end of our stay in China and I still had not gotten any “I am looking down on you mere mortals”, shots so I was extra determined to get here. On this day, I had already dragged my family to Suzhou and back and we were dangerously low on fun-happy-sparkles-energy because our last meal had been over fourteen hours ago (except for the baby, she eats a man-sized meal every two hours). The baby gave me an annoyed look as I used her as an excuse to bypass the huge line to the elevator that took us to the observation deck. A quick ride up to the top and the doors opened up to reveal pandemonium.
There were droves of Chinese tour groups, school kids and guides with megaphones waving those silly flags around. It was a photographer’s nightmare. I found a place for my family to sit down while I squeezed through hot, sweaty masses of people to finally find this spot. I waited for the light to be just right, fired off a few shots and got the heck out of there. Even as we were in the elevator just about to escape the craziness, an old man decided to jump out as the doors were closing. Oh man …
I wish I could say the rest of the evening went any better, but we ended up spending over $100 dollars on crappy food at a fancy restaurant and having to make a quick exit as the baby’s good will finally ran out and she let us have it. My poor family endured a lot to get this shot, but now that a few weeks have gone by and emotions are no longer raw, they saw the final product and begrudgingly decided it was worth it. Thanks for your patience ladies. Enjoy the view of Shanghai’s sprawling megalopolis at your leisure. =P
… this photo looks awesome on a big screen … you can almost see the big boss through the window, yelling at his employees in the building 30 miles away.
This old chair won't last much longer. It has been retired from use and is literally falling apart...almost melting into the ground, but it holds so many nice memories that I can't bring myself to throw it away...

The torment of Marsyas illustrates the taste for pathos in Hellenistic art. Marsyas was a silenus, or companion of Dionysos; a celebrated pipe-player, he boasted that he was a better musician than Apollo. Beaten in a musical contest with the god, Marsyas was condemned to be flayed alive by a Scythian slave. Suspended from the trunk of a tree, he awaits his terrible punishment. The scene is based on an original Hellentistic group from the late third century BC.
A silenus in torment
This large statue portrays a silenus, a member of Dionysos's retinue, whose animal nature is indicated by his pointed ears, wild mane of hair and tail emerging from the small of his back. His arms, lashed to a tree trunk at the wrists, bear the weight of his body, which is stretched and pulled, elongating the stomach and causing the ribs to stick out. The silenus's aged face is taut - racked with fear and pain.
The punishment of Marsyas
The statue is clearly a depiction of the torment of Marsyas. After learning to play a flute discarded by the goddess Athena, Marysas arrogantly challenged Apollo to a musical contest. The Muses declared Apollo the victor, and the god punished Marysas for his pride (or hubris) by condemning him to be flayed alive by a Scythian slave.
A number of copies and reliefs attest to the existence and popularity of the original statuary group depicting the legend. Thanks to these, the original composition may be reconstructed as follows: Marsyas, hanging from the tree, would have been flanked on the left by a crouching slave, sharpening his knife and raising his head towards the silenus, who returns his gaze. The figure of Apollo was probably standing to the right.
Pathétique pergaménien
The work is a Roman copy of a Hellenistic original created at Pergamon in Asia Minor, in the second half of the third century BC. The legend of Marsyas was a favorite subject among artists as early as the fifth century BC, as seen in the early sculptural group by Myron, represented in the Louvre by a figure of Athena (inventory number Ma 2208). The Myron group illustrates the preceding episode in the story, namely the musical contest and its tragic ending. Here, the Hellenistic artist has chosen to represent the instant before punishment - the moment when victim and torturer exchange one last look, and the tension is at its peak.
This dramatic atmosphere corresponds perfectly to the Pergamene school's taste for pathos. The subject is a pretext for a study of the face and the human body; the theatricality and emotionality of the scene are heightened by the play of light across the uneven surfaces of Marsyas's body, distorted by pain.
This statue is also a formidable counterpoint to the history of Greek sculptural experimentation. From the frontal static pose of the early kouroi, to the contrapposto of the fifth century BC, Greek sculptors sought to place the human body upright, and to study the resulting musculature. Here, by depicting a suspended body, the sculptor has freed Marsyas from the weight of his own body and circumvented the problem of contrapposto. The statue represents an entirely new approach to the representation of the male nude: no longer a study of musculature and human strength in action, but an exploration of heightened muscular tension as a result of external duress.

A partnership between man and animal, which has lasted more than a millennium. A fisherman needs to catch enough fish to sell and feed himself and his family. Sometimes, this means that he needs an assistant. Along the rivers of China that assistance came from a member of the order pelicaniformes bird - the bird that we call the Cormorant.
Cormorants are treated with the utmost care and attention and become accustomed to living with their new friends in a surprisingly fast way. The training period only lasts about two weeks and soon they are fully ready for your new lifestyle.
Cormorant fishing is considered an ancestral survival craft. The customs in rural China are conserved in such a way that leaving the big cities in areas of Guangxi province, we can observe the traditional fishermen with cormorão walking through the city with their birds balanced on a bamboo.
Cormorants are by nature experienced fishermen and so accompany their owners on a fishing trip tied to a hemp cord. The fisherman moves to the fishing area on a bamboo boat or raft, and once in place, lights his lantern or lantern to feed the fish and places the bird in the water.
The bird dives up to 10 meters, picks up a fish with its beak and when it comes to the surface its owner removes the fish from his mouth and gives a loaf of fish fillet to the bird as a positive reinforcement. And the cycle repeats itself. We may think it is an exploration - and we would not necessarily be wrong. However, what relationship between man and any animal is not so? Once the journey is completed, the fisherman releases the cormorant so that it can fish by itself.
If you have heard about this before, then there is great chance that you will associate fishing with cormorants with the Chinese. Although the activity predominates in this part of Asia, it has also once been very common in Japan. In fact, fishing with cormorants has already been done even in Macedonia.
Of course, today there are much more efficient methods of catching a fish. Cormorants are now maintained more to attract tourists than as subsistence. However, this ritual can be enjoyed by a magnificent walk along the Li River, one of the most majestic in China.
I'm obsessed with Buffalo Bill Cody, the Wild West showman who brought to life the drama and pathos of the settling of the American frontier. I can imagine what Buffalo Bill would have done with Twitter, Facebook and YouTube! Imagine: #cowgirlbeauty or #belleofthewest
Kactus Kate is my alter-ego--and this beguiling cowgirl is how I picture her. I finally found a copy of the ad featuring the cowgirl--I bought a page from Life magazine so I could make a high-resolution clip of what I call "Cosmic Cowgirl".
I layered her over W.F. Cody's face on an Internet copy of one of his famous Buffalo posters, with the not-so-modest announcement, "I am Coming". I have photos that I took of reproductions of this iconic buffalo while visiting the Buffalo Bill Museum at Lookout Mountain. I plan to work with those images soon.
I don't have mad Photoshop skills, but I'm playing with layers--trying to build in a digital sense, one of the lushly detailed backgrounds featured in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Posters.
The days when you weren't tall enough and had to hang on for grim death. But you insisted you could see everything through one of these... before the money run out.
Our attempts to regain paradise.
Disregarding humanity warnings.
And the anticipation of pathos.
Communications constrained to political cliché.
And powerful abilities to monopolize.
The determined playing field is prepared.
For the
Civilian deaths.
Torture.
And assassinations.
The justification and cause are set.
Those who question are placed on the fringe.

The Shanghai skyline as seen from the top of the Pearl Tower. The resulting photographs were an interesting mistake of camera shake while zooming in on sections of the heavily smog filled city. They gave me a sense of a long forsaken metropolis so I named this series – Vestige.

Der barmherzige Samariter - The good Samaritan (1833)
Städel, Frankfurt
Ein Akt menschlichen Mitgefühls: Fürsorglich beugt sich der barmherzige Samariter über einen hilflos am Boden liegenden Mann, der auf dem Weg von Jerusalem nach Jericho überfallen wurde. Im Bildhintergrund erblickt man zwei Personen, die achtlos an dem Schwerverwundeten vorbeigegangen waren.
Der religiöse Pathos dieses biblichen Gleichnisses entsprach den Idealen der katholischen Nazarener-Bewegung, deren italienischer Künstlerkolonie sich Julius Schnoor von Carolsfeld 1818 während einer Romreise angeschlossen hatte.
Entstanden ist das an Vorbilder der italienischen Renaissance angelehnte Werk auf Anregung des damaligen Städel-Direktors Philipp Veit.

Ever hear the expression, “Good from far, but far from good?” Mount Everest looks absolutely stunning from a safe distance, but I am sure she is more likely to kill you than to cuddle with you if you get too close. Consider yourself warned. I will just admire from afar until someone comes up with virtual reality tourism or a functional holodeck. You hear that engineers? Challenge extended …

... I would eat this Zebra too. They just look like easy prey.
Pathos dove sei
t' abbiamo perso così
L'ho sentito sulla scia del vento
nei profumi dell'estremo oriente
nella musica che sento dentro
dentro ad ogni bacio
in quell'istante il pathos è li
I feel possibile che qui non c'è?
L'ho sentito quando t'ho incontrato
e mille giorni siamo stati al sole
amore bell'amore come ci hai lasciato
senza immagini senza parole così
I feel possibile che qui non c'è?
tra noi non c'è più pathos pathos
lo vedi
tra noi non c'è più pathos pathos
tu ridi
ma è così
I feel non è qui I feel
se no perchè direi pathos dove sei?
perso così
oggi vive dentro una canzone
nella lacrima che non trattengo
quando il mare canta sotto il mio balcone
nel futuro che dipingo senza di te
I feel
ma resta qui con me
anche se
tra noi non c'è più pathos pathos lo vedi
ma basterebbe poco
ora sorridi
pathos pathos
e' così I feel
se no perchè direi pathos dove sei?
non lasciarci così
pathos dove sei?
Pathos

L'elemento di pathos che è racchiuso nel fronteggiarsi faccia a faccia dei contendenti fa assomigliare il ballottaggio a una sfida mortale, a un duello senza vie di scampo, da cui usciranno un vincitore e un vinto. Da qui la forte carica di spettacolarizzazione, di suspence e di trepidazione che il ballottaggio comporta, suffragata anche dalla etimologia: in inglese, infatti, ballot è tanto la palla, e per estensione la scheda elettorale e la votazione, quanto - sia pure in un significato meno usuale - la pallottola.
