CHDK timelapse of little ants marching over a terrain of decomposed granite. The memory card filled up right as they were dragging a larger, captured ant into focus, that had been trying to cross their line.

This is another sculpture by Salvador Dali, one that borrows from his most famous theme, the melting clocks (or soft watches). Interestingly, this bronze bears the same title as his most famous painting (Persistence of Memory), which he produced in 1931. There is no doubt that these pieces (the bronze as well as the painting) symbolize the element of time, but I found it very interesting to read about the various interpretations of so-called art experts and critiques on what Dali really tried to portray with these works of art, especially the painting (reproduced below).

If you are persistent, you will get it. If you are consistent you will keep it. #persistence #consistency #determination
Native, yearlong green, perennial, erect, tufted grass to 2 m tall. Leaves are up to 6 mm wide and 40 cm long. Sheaths and leaves are ribbed and generally hairless. Flowerheads are open panicles. Spikelets are 1-flowered with 2 well developed glumes. Lemmas are hairy, golden brown to dark reddish brown at maturity, spindle-shaped and 6.5-8 mm long; with a short callus, the coma is less than 2 mm long and the terminal awn is twice-bent (straight when young) and 3-4 cm long. Flowering is mostly in spring and early summer. Found on clay soils, it prefers good moisture, high fertility, and neutral to alkaline soils. Sensitive to heavy frosts, but drought tolerant. Native biodiversity. Not abundant on the tablelands and is more readily grazed by cattle than sheep. Of moderate feed quality for livestock when vegetative; but low quality when flowering. Seeds can cause injury to stock, especially sheep, but not abundant enough to cause serious problems. Tolerates heavy grazing, but occasional resting at flowering will aid persistence.

So I did get grilled by the security guards when I started to shoot people at the table games but was able to take a few shots.

She was interviewed by John Anderson and her film Forever was shown (it also screens on Wed. May 2 at PFA)

Forever is about the Père-Lachaise Cemetery is in Paris where Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Marcel Proust, Alice B. Toklas, Gertrude Stein and many others are buried.
It will be released starting in September
Next year there also will be a DVD boxed set of her films.
The Persistence of Loss - Inhibition
This is a series I am working on titled "The Persistence of Loss." I aim to capture the pieces of us that we lose along the way.

At this time of year the sun sets towards the end of the pier in Southport. I had tried a few nights earlier but was thwarted by a low cloud bank about 20 minutes before sunset ... so headed out tonight and had a little more success, although the sun was setting a little more northerly than I'd hoped.
Never mind, maybe I'll try again in about 3 months.
Cheers for dropping by.

at least an hour of trying lighting and my tripod (finally) thank goodness for good friends teaching me to use it lol Also Im not sure if flickr will consider me safe anymore for this photo, but its intent is art and practice.
With a faltering flashlight, you descend to the deepest parts of your memory; places you have deliberately abandoned where the records are kept of failures forgotten...
Faded and bleached colors bleed from the corroding memory, hinting of a pleasure that did not endure.
Taken in a building abandoned more than 50 years ago where, in a dark subfloor, this old file cabinet appeared in an otherwise vast empty space in total darkness.
Taken handheld at 1/2 second exposure by only the light of the headlamp on my hardhat using a Nikon D200 and 16-35mm VR lens.

Really interested? Want to own a piece of this history? I have an expensive but beautiful photo book you can see, and order here. If you buy it, don't use "photo correction" if asked. Tell them to leave the book alone!
“Vico has always had dedication and persistence in his duties. He is probably the happiest BLM employee with just some dog food and a piece of hose!” – Dave Stolts, BLM Southern Nevada Supervisory Ranger
Dave Stolts has been Vico’s handler since 2011 when Vico was brought into the BLM’s K9 program. In the six years that he has been on the job, Vico has been involved in assignments all over Nevada and the west. He has been a part of operations on public lands involving high use recreation, such as the Burning Man event, Sand Mountain, and work within the Las Vegas Valley, as well as, work assignments on the international border interdicting narcotic and human smugglers. The most important part of their duties, Stolts said, was the outreach to schools, churches and special events.
“We really feel like the face of the agency at the special events we went to,” Stolts said. “Vico is such a unique police dog and handles being petted and around crowds really well.”
Vico has the personality that many K9s don’t. He has the ability to be calm and collected and when it’s time to work he turns it on and gets the job done. One great memory Stolts has is when they were working near the International border following a group of smugglers. The law enforcement team had hiked in rough terrain all day and had decided they would head back for the night. As the team was leaving the area Vico picked up on his own, the scent of the smugglers. The rest of the team had basically called it a day but Vico never quit. They team was able to follow the smugglers trail and catch them at a highway. They ended up making an arrest. Stolts said he didn’t even signal Vico to work, but he had the sensibility to never stop.
This year Stolts has accepted a supervisory role on the Southern Nevada District. There he will be supervising up to nine Law Enforcement Rangers and felt it was time to retire Vico, Stolts will continue to keep him in his retirement.
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!
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.
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.
