Thought I would take a little trip into the past and share these photos from the early 1980's. This was taken at a record store in Atlanta (does anybody remember that music groups would visit record stores and you could meet them!?) I was very shy then, but managed to give Phil this red rose and got his autograph! We then went to their concert that evening, June 1, 1980, at the historic Fox Theater and had a wonderful time!

I have been curating images from this perspective for many mornings of the past year. Many times, it is the first shot of the day, test shots really. The view does not change much, but the seasons change and along with it, the footwear.
I will start an album here as I post these intermittently.
Enjoy!

Quay Brothers Return to Philly for First North American Exhibition, Film Festival Award

Norristown-Native Animators, University of the Arts Grads Have Developed Global Cult Following
PHILADELPHIA (December 8, 2008) – Quirky, dark and moody has worked well for identical twins and Norristown natives Stephen and Timothy Quay. Their global cult following knows them better as the award-winning, London-based Brothers Quay, stop-action animators and graduates of The University of the Arts.
For the first time in North America, original sets (décors) from their films will be on display in the exhibition "DORMITORIUM: Film ‘Décors’ by the Quay Bros.” at their alma mater’s Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, February 27 – April 9. Part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebration of its College of Art and Design, the festivities will include a reception with the brothers, and a presentation of the Vision Award for extraordinary achievement in filmmaking in conjunction with Philadelphia CineFest on April 3.
The décors in the exhibition range from the brothers’ critically acclaimed “Street of Crocodiles” (1986) to “The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes” (2006). The exhibition also includes décors from “The Unameable Little Broom” (1985); “Stille Nacht I (Dramolet)” (1988); “The Comb (From the Museums of Sleep)” (1990); “Rehearsals for Extinct Anatomies” (1988); “The Cabinet of Jan Svanmajer” (1984); “Rehearsals For Extinct Anatomies” (1988); and “The Calligrapher” (1991). After its run at the University’s Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, the show travels to Parsons The New School for Design in New York City in the fall and Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Va., in the fall.
“Street of Crocodiles,” based on the short novel of the same name by the Polish author and artist Bruno Schulz, was selected by director and animator Terry Gilliam as one of the 10 best animated films of all time, and critic Jonathan Romney included it on his list of the 10 best films in any medium. “The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes” – a dark fairy tale about a demonic doctor who abducts a beautiful opera singer, with designs on transforming her into a mechanical nightingale – is the brothers’ second full-length feature film.
The Quays also directed an animated sequence in the 2002 Oscar-winning film “Frida,” starring Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina. Their first feature film, “Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life” was released in 1995. Their third feature, based on Schulz’s “Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass,” is in pre-production.
They have built a cult following making dark and moody films, mostly on or influenced by Eastern European film, literature and music. Many feature partially disassembled dolls and generally have no meaningful spoken dialogue. Their work has been impacted by an array of disparate influences – from Polish animators Walerian Borowczyk and Jan Lenica to writers Franz Kafka and Robert Walser; from puppeteers Wladyslaw Starewicz and Richard Teschner to composers Leo Janácek, Zdenek Lika and Leszek Jankowski.
Born and raised in Norristown, Pa., the brothers graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art (now The University of the Arts) in 1969 (Stephen with a degree in film; Timothy with a degree in illustration) and promptly moved to England to study at the Royal College of Art, where they made their first film. During the ’70s, they spent time in the Netherlands and returned to England to team up with fellow Royal College alumnus Keith Griffiths, who has produced all of their films, to form Koninck Studios in 1980.
The University of the Arts is the nation’s first and only university dedicated to the visual, performing and communication arts. Its 2,300 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs on its campus in the heart of Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts. The institution’s roots as a leader in educating creative individuals date back to 1868.
I went to Camp Orkila on Orcas Island last week with the 6th Grade class at my school (about 340 students). It was a fun trip, very wet at times but the kids had a great time!
This is a black tailed deer that the camp staff have named Phil, he is a piebald deer which is a genetic variation that only occurs in about 1% of deer. The deer on this island, and specifically around the camp are a very isolated population that experiences a lot of inbreeding which can lead to higher cases of this genetic variation.

This statue of Phil Lynott (1949-1986) is located in Harry Street, Dublin between the Westbury Hotel and Grafton Street. Born in Birmingham, England to an Irish mother and an Afro-Guyanese father, Lynott was raised in Dublin and was Ireland's first International rock star achieving fame with his rock band Thin Lizzy. He was a regular sight on the streets of his home city and even at the height of his success he could be seen promenading on Grafton Street when in Dublin. He died due to complications caused by a drug overdose in London in January 1986. This statue to Lynott was unveiled in 2005, and as it was Valentine's day when I took this shot somebody had attached a helium balloon with an appropriate message to old Phil...
