If my photography had to be confined to a single subject, then that would be buildings that are falling apart. There are two levels on which I see these images as I seek to render them onto a piece of paper.
The first level is obvious, which is the lines. Whereas a new building will normally keep a boring symmetry, the alteration of lines makes for an interesting image. Sometimes the lines lead somewhere, but more often than not they remain hopelessly parallel, as if to point us in a direction of their eventual demise.
The other level is more emotional. These buildings have long ago given up the task of ensuring that everything remain at 90 degree angles, and allowed the effects of gravity to begin changing the course of things. Eventually, the vertical will become horizontal, but until that time comes there is a task at hand to remain as originally intended.
This image works on both levels. The window shows nothing on the inside, and once horizontal lines now point to the direction the building will eventually be. I think about how once people lived here and how it probably held an individual or a family, with hopes and dreams. The inhabitants have moved on in one way or another, and without them, the building is also in the process of moving on.

My piece is called Persistence because I can change the world by persisting through tough times. To make the world better, we can't quit or give up. We need everybody to keep going through the challenges. The name Persistence relates to my piece because my composition has a feeling to me of persevering and driving forward. In the piano part in the middle, I repeat the section twice. The first time is quiet which represents when we are weak. The second time is forte to show how we can overcome difficulties and come back stronger.
Every time I try one of these I do something different. So I thought that this would be a great picture for my 365 challenge. See my bad photoshop skills the best I could do. Any Suggestions??
This is the result of about 150 tosses, got 6 good splashes I like this one the best. I think my Persistence paid off here :)
I saw these dandelions blooming in my yard last Friday, two days before the first snow of the season. Dandelions are tough.
I'm making a "Persistence of Vision" toy, which will show a programmed message in eight red light- emitting diodes.
In the Fab Lab we have a roll of copper foil backed with a conductive adhesive. I used a knife to cut out a hand shape. (In this case, I found it faster to work this way than to use the vinyl cutter.) I covered a small metal container with a vinyl sticker to insulate the foil board from the conductive tin. I soldered some surface mount LEDs and resistors onto the copper. I still have more to do!
I've been meaning to hit up Garrapata State Park for quite some time now. I've driven by its rocky beaches and rugged coves a number of times on my way to other locales but on my recent trip down the Nor Cal coast I knew this time it was on.
Dramatic weather was tough to come by as the state of California seems to be in denial that it's currently winter but the sky did color up a bit as the waves rushed in. This vantage point, of course, is a classic one but icons are icons for a reason and I had to have a go. The foreground rocks are what really draw me into images from this beach and I hope my image does them justice.
I highly recommend a visit to Garrapata State Park for a few reasons. It's on California's state park closure list for one, but also because it's not just a coastal park. There are some good inland trails that deserve your attention. If you are looking to go and want tips where to photograph, I found photographer David Gubernick's site really helpful: www.rainbowspirit.com/garrapata-state-park.html

Thanks for looking!
And after cutting some holes in the box for the buttons and applying a
great deal of tape to hold the components down inside, the persistence
of vision device was successfully modded into a golf ball case. Now
what? Well, I have plans for attaching it to the seat of a bicycle and
scrolling messages while I ride.

Marin Solar was founded in 2002 by Roy Phillips, a general contractor with over 9 years experience working with photovoltaic systems and over 25 years building high-end residential projects. Roy was sold on solar after installing several systems in the course of his regular work, and the results fired his imagination. The rest, as they say, is history. Since its inception, Marin Solar has grown exponentially — going from a small crew to a full team of experienced energy consultants, designers, electricians, engineers and installation specialists. Persistence, attention-to-detail, competitive pricing, satisfied customers, word-of-mouth and quality work are the reasons Marin Solar is the premier full-service solar integrator in the United States.

“Mommy, can I eat some of the chocolate cake?”
No, not yet. Wait a few minutes.
“Now can I eat some?”
No.
“Now?”
No.
“Mommy, can I eat some chocolate now?”
Still no. I’ll give you some to eat in a few minutes.
“Now?”
No.
“Has it been a few minutes? Now? Can I have some now?”
A three year old's persistence is incredible. And granted, this is a stretch, but the persistence of the Pharisees was pretty incredible also. They persisted in badgering the man-born-blind-who-now-could-see. They persisted with his parents. They seemed to be seeking one, and only one answer: "you’re right, oh-smart-Pharisees…. The man that opened my eyes is, in fact, a sinner…and you’re right, he shouldn’t be healing on the Sabbath.”
The man-who-could-now-see didn’t give the desired answer. He tried to be nice and patient, I think: “I have told you already and you did not listen….” But it didn’t really matter what he said—if the answer wasn’t what the Pharisees wanted, they would continue their dogged persistence.
The man’s answers amuse me. And the Pharisees, well, they sadden me. Because I just want them to get it for once. To actually recognize, and acknowledge, that something bigger than themselves is at work here. Someone bigger than themselves. And I want to see their persistence turned in the direction of how to open their hearts to this man who could make a difference for them as well—on a Sabbath or not.
Hey, it's big!
I'll just grab it.
Uh, yeah... maybe if I get my jaw underneath...
Maybe if I chew off a bit...
GOT IT!!!!

A park -- particularly one as famous as Central Park -- is a living, breathing creature. And an immortal one. We fruit flies buzz in, tell it our stories, and then buzz away. We'll soon be gone but hopefully, the park will continue to tell our stories to future generations a hundred years from now.
So we told the park about this incredibly cool guy by the name of John Lennon. He was about as messed-up as any of us but he did some great things and he meant a lot to a great many people. Twenty-five years after his death, people stop at his memorial and lay flowers and conjure memories of what his works meant to them.
At the southeast corner of the park on Fifth Avenue, there's a statue of some guy on horseback, following Winged Victory. The monument was gilded at some point but it's fallen into disrepair. A wiseass like me passes by and genuinely enjoys it as a piece of classical sculpture, but it's just a thing, really.
I wonder if a hundred years from now, the Lennon memorial will mean more to people than a pretty geometric design and a curious word.
