This building always begs to be photographed against a blue sky. It has a funky name too - 'Persistence Works'.

Persistence and the good fortune to be able to travel widely in the UK and abroad will ensure that I remain a major contributor to CRWDP and similar sites. Today, I am posting five pictures from the Brighton area.

 

Famous Sichuan Chinese Restaurant in Queens Road, Brighton is within a couple of doors of Sichuan Garden and appeared to be out of business at the time of this photograph.

A quick snap of my dad during the snowstorm in the Northeast. I'd like to let everyone know that I did help out with the shoveling after taking this shot! I hope next week will be a bit less crazy weather-wise. Remember to always hope for the best. I love you all!

Poet Elaine Terranova at the reception following Persistence of Dreams.

This is a great game.

 

The green wall is photosensitive. A flash goes off at intervals.

You stand in front of the wall and it captures and image.

 

It keep on plunking into the water...and eventually came out with a bitty itty fish...

Pushing that button since 1972.

Harvest time and the livin' is fabulous wild earthwork.

That tree is there out of sheer force of will or something. Also, notice the nice orange no trespassing sign... =D

Sempre que vejo plantas surgindo de rochas, penso na dificuldade que elas tiveram para brotar e se desenvolver em um suporte tão duro e aparentemente impenetrável. Morro da Conceição, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Whenever I see plants emerging from rocks, I think of the difficulty they faced to grow and develop on such a hard and apparently impenetrable support. Morro da Conceição (Conceição Hill), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

I finally have some time to work on some of my China photos!! This gentleman was unbelievable....I was mesmerized by the beauty of his work. I thought it was interesting that he was using a bicycle peddle to hold down his work.

Looks better on Black press "l" on your keypad.

My Dali Collection prints "Persistence of Time" Harmon embossed signature & 2 edges

 

New edition to my Salvador Dali collection.

 

This ones an "after" Dali lithograph.

I bought it because I wanted to get any of his prints that had this one graphic editors markings , especially the finger print shown.

 

It was one of three prints that came up on ebay a while ago (from the same seller) -

All of them had the finger print.

I actually was surprised to get this as cheap as I did as seller contacted me and sold it to me as a "second chance" offer.

I lost the auction but he sold it at my 2nd highest bid price.

 

The graphic editor ( Harmon) got Dali's finger print after Dali could no longer sign prints due to his illness , before death and used them to allegedly authenticate the lithographs.

 

Actually this shouldn't be considered an "original" Dali litho as I am sure he didn't do anything as far as the production of it ,

including allowing the size changes or additional images added to the original "Persistence of Memory"

SILVERWEED

 

Plantain and the Little Powerful One

Will claim the trodden portion of the path.

 

Roman soldiers picked them

Marching barbarian roads:

Stuffed them into boots for easing blisters.

 

Children dug and roasted them

On little illicit fires.

 

At Lag nan Tanchasg, a man

Could stake his claim by lying down

On the sward: the upturned roots

Of the Little Ground Hugger

Could sustain him – from a plot

No bigger than a grown man’s grave.

 

Gerard picked its feathered leaf

And dropped it in a beaker,

The underside a glaze of silver

Bulging, rolling, tumbling.

 

Praise you, little potent, trampled herb.

 

Source material: A series of snapshots from the history of Potentilla anserina. The generic name means “little powerful one”, and is probably a reference to its persistence on heavily trampled paths. Alexander Carmichael’s Carmina Gadelica - not always the most reliable of sources – makes the rather extravagant claim that in North Uist a man could sustain himself on the roots of silverweed growing on a square of ground of his own length. The herb is placed inside shoes to this day as a remedy for tired feet. Silverweed is covered with grey hairs, which trap air bubbles when immersed in water. See Geoffrey Grigson, An Englishman’s Flora, pp. 159-60; Roy Vickery, Oxford Dictionary of Plant Lore, pp. 352-3; Gabrielle Hatfield, Hatfield’s Herbal, pp. 319-320. Poem by Giles Watson, 2009.
