TRACING MOBILITY
CARTOGRAPHY AND MIGRATION IN NETWORKED SPACE
24.11.2011 - 12.12.2011
Opening: 23.11.2011
Wed – Mon 11 – 19 h | Symposion 26.11. 11 – 17 h
all events
Tracing Mobility sets out to examine how electronic networks and mobile media are transforming our conceptions of time, space and distance.
The exhibition presents the positions of 16 international artists who trace the shifting terrain of global and local mobility, virtual and material movement. They use varying approaches to pursue the numerous questions of our present's mobility: Where can we escape to when online- and offline worlds converge? What does the movement of a body in a landscape indicate when every point of the earth is within reach through the aid of digital technology? How do mobile devices and media alter our mindset and change our perception of time and space?
By means of installations, videos, performances and paintings, but also in the guise of iPhone Apps, maps and open-source collaborations, we see artists developing strategies in order to position themselves within this dynamic topography and to find possible points of exit.
A Symposium and the Tracing Mobility Open Platform will offer further explorations of these themes via lectures, talks and workshops.
Exhibiting Artists: Frank Abbott (UK), Aram Bartholl (DE), Neal Beggs (UK/FR), Heath Bunting (UK), Janet Cardiff / George Bures Miller (CAN), Miles Chalcraft (UK/DE, Simon Faithfull (UK/DE), Yolande Harris (UK/NL), Folke Köbberling & Martin Kaltwasser (DE), Landon Mackenzie (CAN), Open_Sailing (FR/JP), plan b (Sophia New & Dan Belasco Rogers) (UK/DE), Esther Polak & Ivar van Bekkum (NL), Gordan Savicic (AT/NL) , Mark Selby (UK), Michelle Teran (CAN/DE)

I'm simply in love with this song (as you probably have noticed) and have been for a while now. I wanted to do a picture that portrayed this specific line, but I didn't want to do a typical boring lip shot. So this is what I came up with.
**Updated!! Since this picture was supposed to be abstract to some extent anyway, I added in another layer (this texture) because I just generally loved the blending of the veil's lines with the lines from my lips. I also like how it filled the empty spaces. Happy-making. <3
Lung of love - leaves me breathless
Tongue of fool - lap me in enmity
Four walled secret lies among the hessian
And a flicker of the future
Could've saved the cindered sister
Colourless, i kiss her cold forehead; i feel life
Lose it in a minute and
The ones to come feel too far to care
People concertina to my private magic lantern move for me
With the senses all inclusive
In the theatre of triggered memories
And I'm motioning still they stand inside me
And moments until the one i leave.
17/30:
Why do I always most want the people around that do those things to me?

The Salton Sea is a saline, endorheic rift lake located directly on the San Andreas Fault in California's Border Region. The lake occupies the lowest elevations of the Salton Sink in the Colorado Desert of Imperial and Riverside Counties in Southern California. Like Death Valley, it is located below sea level, with the current surface of the Salton Sea at 226 ft (69 m) below sea level. The deepest area of the sea is 5 ft (1.5 m) higher than the lowest point of Death Valley. The sea is fed by the New, Whitewater, and Alamo rivers, as well as a number of minor agricultural drainage systems and creeks.
The lake covers a surface area of approximately 376 sq mi (970 km2), 241,000+/- acres, the largest in California. While it varies in dimensions and area with changes in agricultural runoff and rain, it averages 15 mi (24 km) by 35 mi (56 km), with a maximum depth of 52 ft (16 m), giving a total volume of about 7,500,000 acre·ft (9.25 km3), and annual inflows averaging 1,360,000 acre·ft (1.68 km3). The lake's salinity, about 44 g/L, is greater than the waters of the Pacific Ocean (35 g/L), but less than that of the Great Salt Lake and the concentration is increasing by about 1 percent annually.
~If you are like me, Christmas is fore-most, the most blessed day of all the year... It is also a time that is most painful to the heart. I think about my loved ones waiting in Heaven. I think of those I have loved, those I have helped, those I call my friends and those whom are my family. I think of the heartache caused by those who have left me stranded, those who didn't care to try and those who take without giving. I also thought of how resentful I was to them, of my angry words and thoughts, but as I read these verse's I thought of the many people dealing with the same emotions that I am and who are having a Blue Christmas this year.
Three Christmas wishes is an offering of healing by verse to the emotional pain often felt on Christmas and sometimes throughout the year. In each verse there is a wish that you will listen to them with your heart and be healed of all afflictions by hearing God's words.
Three Christmas Wishes
By Angel Cher
* Depressed
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 43;2
** Angry (Remember that often anger in just a real deep pain and not actually a hatred!!)
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:19
*** In Grief
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Thessalonians 4:13, 14

Well, I finally made it back to Richmond Park yesterday, it's only taken me FIVE YEARS!!! Not been there since 2009!!! and I nearly didn't go yesterday either, because of initial bad weather and engineering works on the railway...it was a Sunday I guess, that's power for the course!!!
Anyhoo, I was rewarded with my FIRST ever Fallow deer Rut, which was pretty intense for 5 minutes!!
Hope everybody had a great Weekend..:)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ This article is about the deer genus. For other uses, see Dama (disambiguation).
Description ~ The male fallow deer is known as a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Adult bucks are 140–160 cm (55–63 in) long with a 85–95 cm (33–37 in) shoulder height, and typically 60–100 kg (130–220 lb) in weight; does are 130–150 cm (51–59 in) long with a 75–85 cm (30–33 in) shoulder height, and 30–50 kg (66–110 lb) in weight. The largest bucks may measure 190 cm (75 in) long and weigh 150 kg (330 lb). Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm (12 in) and weigh around 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). The life span is around 12–16 years.
The species has great variations in the colour of their coats, with four main variants, "common", "menil", melanistic and leucistic – a genuine colour variety, not albinistic. The white is the lightest coloured, almost white; common and menil are darker, and melanistic is very dark, sometimes even black (easily confused with the sika deer).
Common: Chestnut coat with white mottles that are most pronounced in summer with a much darker, unspotted coat in the winter. Light-coloured area around the tail, edged with black. Tail is light with a black stripe.
Menil: Spots more distinct than common in summer and no black around the rump patch or on the tail. In winter, spots still clear on a darker brown coat.
Melanistic (black): All year black shading to greyish-brown. No light-coloured tail patch or spots.
Leucistic (white, but not albino): Fawns cream-coloured, adults become pure white, especially in winter. Dark eyes and nose, no spots.
Most herds consist of the common coat variation, yet it is not rare to see animals of the menil coat variation. The Melanistic variation is rarer and white very much rarer still.
Only bucks have antlers, which are broad and shovel-shaped (palmate) from three years. In the first two years the antler is a single spike. They are gazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland. During the rut bucks will spread out and females move between them, at this time of year fallow deer are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together in groups of up to 150.
Agile and fast in case of danger, fallow deer can run up to a maximum speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) over short distances (being naturally less muscular than other cervids such as roe deer, they are not as fast). Fallow deer can also make jumps up to 1.75 metres high and up to 5 metres in length.
I picked up the Lensbaby Fisheye Optic at Imaging USA this year. Initially I thought I would have pretty limited reasons to use it. I might pull it out for the occasional odd portrait or something but a true 180° fisheye is most often used in rap videos and at skate parks, neither of which do I often photography.
But, I am finding it a lot more useful than I originally imagined. Human vision is a funny thing. We are aware, via peripheral vision, of almost 180° of the world but we only have good focus on about 10° of out vision. Our eyes and brain see a lot but we only focus on a small sliver of that. As distorted and odd as these round images look, there is something familiar to them just because they do show the world as we see it… sort of. On a full-frame sensor camera, like the Canon 5D MKII, a 12mm fisheye like this Lensbaby optic produces a round image and much of the sensor never sees any light. The view is so wide that you have to be careful that you don’t get your feet, camera strap or elbow in the shot.
In spite of all the distortion that the lens gives, it provides a very deep depth of field even when focused very close and shot at f/4 like (the aperture I used on these shots).
There are a few drawbacks to the Lensbaby fisheye when you use it in their Composer rig. First, you have to be very careful that the image is centered properly or you end up with some of the elegant sphere getting cut off. It is also manual focus and because everything looks so small through the viewfinder, you really have to shift to Live View and digitally zoom in to focus properly. This is not a big deal if you have a little time to compose your shot but tends to preclude and “on the fly shooting.”
Anyway, it’s a fun addition to the arsenal of obscure lenses that I seem to love and fawn over. It is also a good bit cheaper than the Canon EF 8-1fmm lens f/4 L USM (which will set you back $1,400 and only stops down to f/4 while the lens baby goes to f/2). I am sure that the Auto Focus of the Canon would take a lot of the leg-work out of using an extreme fisheye and that the optics are cleaner, but I have heard reports that the clarity, when stopped down and used properly are not worth the price difference.
But, enough camera geek talk. I hope you enjoy this somewhat unusual view of Louisiana and Mississippi during the winter that I photographed yesterday on my ride back from Lake Bruin. I’m looking forward to putting this lens to more remunerative use on my next portrait assignment. All in all, highly recommended.

Macao
Guia Lighthouse
Guia Fortress, Lighthouse and Chapel: Built on the top of the highest hill in Macau peninsula (which has a walking trail with gymnastics infrastructures) is the Guia Fortress, erected in 1637 inside which is a lighthouse (1865), the first to be built in the China coast. Besides the lighthouse there is a Chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Guia, decorated with beautiful frescoes recently restored. From the fortress the visitor can visit the whole city and the Pearl River. It is an extremely calm spot ideal for photos, with a coffee shop selling soft drinks and coffee. Moreover it is here that the typhoon signals are hoisted in order to inform the population that the tropical storm is approaching.
The Guia Complex, which includes a historical military fort, chapel and lighthouse, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The fort and chapel were constructed between 1622 and 1638. The lighthouse was constructed between 1864 and 1865, the first western style lighthouse in east Asia or on the China coast.
In October 2006, the Macau Government announced a gigantic construction project which includes a new home for Beijing’s Liaison Office. With such construction plan, Macau’s signature lighthouse will be hidden from large portions of the city, and, perhaps the harbour.
The project at the foot of Macau’s Guia Hill comprises a 135 metre tall tower, a 99.12 metre tower, with other tall buildings in a line spanning some 300 metres, while the Guia Hill is only 91 metres in height.
The height of Beijing’s Liaison Office (99.12 metres) is designed to commemorate December 1999, the year of Macau’s return to Chinese sovereignty. The building is already under construction and will be complete next December to commemorate the eighth anniversary of Macau’s handover.
The Association for the Protection of Macau’s Historical and Cultural Heritage warned the Macau government that if the high-rise buildings turned out to block the view of the Guia Lighthouse, it would upset the feelings of many residents.
Earlier in 2006, the Macau government uplifted two decrees that stipulated maximum construction heights in that area. The Land, Public Works and Transportation Office said the revocation stemmed from “the need to modernize the legislation, already 15 years old and completely outdated, out of touch with the gambling sector development and the increasing need for building sites”. Since 2006 summer, there have been a few heritage disputes in Macau. Activists have been fighting against a building plan that threatened to block the sea view from the A-Ma Temple, a World Heritage site honoring the goddess of seafarers and protesting against a government plan to demolish the Little Blue House - a historic mansion that isn’t on the World Heritage list.
According to the Macau Post Daily (January 10, 2007), heritage management expert, Mr. Imon, stressed that the UNESCO in Paris has a so-called World Heritage in Danger List that comprises properties deemed by the organization to be in peril because of adverse developments in their surroundings. In case of a world-heritage property’s inclusion in the danger list, the UNESCO may issue a warning in order to urge the respective country [China in the case of Macau] to stop the damage and to remedy the situation.

Dolphins playing games in Indonesia.
With more than 40 species, dolphins are mammals closely related to whales. They vary in size from 1.2 metres (4 ft) and 40 kilograms (88 lb) (Maui's Dolphin), up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and ten tonnes (the Orca or Killer Whale).
Most dolphins have acute eyesight, both in and out of the water, and their sense of hearing is superior to that of humans. Dolphins often leap above the water surface, sometimes performing acrobatic figures (e.g. the spinner dolphin).

Chiariello ricerca tra gli strati sottostanti alla realtà immediatamente percebibile mostrandoci un gesto quotidiano, la passeggita, il camminare di un uomo per un breve tratto di spiaggia. Un fugace piano sequenza in cui la vibrante struttura visiva, vede emergere un livello nascosto della realtà visiva.

Best viewed large on black.
Comments welcomed. (I find this a bit blue... unsure as to how that happened, shade?)
The sun was just starting to set - staying there a bit longer may have been nicer, but I was already losing the trees below, hence the SHDR treatment. No mustard on this one, though upping saturation, contrast and blacks certainly does make it pop, it looked pretty cheesy afterward (still a landscape shot, cheesy by definition?)
So here's how I made it:
Following HDR tutorial from stuckincustoms. Hopefully it's not too noticeable.
Manfrotto tripod with stubborn 055 head. I've had it for thirteen years, and it still works, just complains under the new weight of the MeiKe MK-D300 + 8 AAs.
Nikon D300 + 50mm f1.8
No filters (the UV filter was dirty)
Mirror-up mode and remote release were used.
5 bracketed shots with manual focus and manual exposure, with speed bracketing.
Put together using Photomatrix and stuckincustoms settings, tweaked ever so slightly.
Re-imported the resulting 16bit TIFF to Adobe Lightroom after using the Photomatrix plugin, and cropped square (1:1).
Added +0.25 to the overall exposure (to make it look better on a white background that makes everything look dark).

Marble statue of a naked Aphrodite crouching at her bath.
In the fourth century BC the sculptor Praxiteles created a life-size naked statue of Aphrodite (Venus). It was placed in a shrine in her temple at Knidos in south-western Turkey. It was an important innovation in classical sculpture, and subsequent Hellenistic sculptors created several new types of nude Aphrodite figures, that further emphasized the sexual nature of her cult. This trend perhaps reflected both the rising social status of women and changes in male attitudes towards women: previously only male statues had been naked.
Most of these statues show Aphrodite ineffectually attempting to cover her nakedness with her hands. The action in fact only succeeds in drawing the viewer's eye towards the sexual areas. In this statue the voluptuous Aphrodite crouches down and turns her head sharply to her right, as if surprised by her audience.
The three-dimensionality of the statue is typical of Hellenistic sculpture, as is the hairstyle with its elaborate top-knot. Another figure of Aphrodite in The British Museum (Sc. 1578) could almost be the same figure standing up. Other versions of the crouching Aphrodite are known: some have an additional figure of Eros, the god of love, while others show the goddess kneeling on a water jar to indicate that she is bathing.
This statue is sometimes known as 'Lely's Venus' since it once belonged to the baroque portrait painter Sir Peter Lely (1618-80). It was subsequently acquired by King Charles I (reigned 1625-49).
The Mount - other wise know as Mauao
Please view on black.
The Legend of Mauao
In the ancient times of the Maori people there lived a nameless hill, he sat alone in a discarded inland area and was slave to Otanewainuku, the most prestigious mountain of Tauranga Moana. Nearby there lived a captivating hill whose name was Puwhenua, she was adorned with the beauty of Tanemahuta (God of the Forest). The nameless one desired the affection of Puwhenua, but alas her heart had already been won by Otanewainuku. This resulted in disparity which led the nameless one to decide to take his life by drowning in Te Moananui-a-Kiwa (Pacific Ocean). So he called upon his companions the Patupaiarehe (fairy people) who dwelt in the dark recesses of the forest. The Patupaiarehe were people of the night and possess magical powers, the nameless one knew that with their help his ambition to end his life will be accomplished. When night fell, they laced the nameless one with dozens of ropes and began to heave and pull. The land rumbled as the Patupaiarehe forced the nameless one from his position. A valley was gouged as they heaved him along, which is where you will now find that the Waimapu river flows. They continued along the Tauranga Moana channels where Hairini, Maungatapu and Matapihi reside. Upon their arrival near the great ocean of Kiwa, daybreak was fast approaching. Unfortunately for the nameless one this was proving to be quite a complex and problematic task. The rays of Tama nui te ra (Sun) began to light up the summit of the nameless hill and before they knew it, the Patupaiarehe were exposed to the rays of light, so they retreated back to the depths of the forests.
The Patupaiarehe decided to give the name Mauao to this mountain which now marks the entrance into the Tauranga harbour. The translation of Mauao can literally be termed as 'caught by the dawn'. In time this mountain has assumed its own great prestige and mana even over his once rival Otanewainuku and now stands as the symbol of all tribes of Tauranga Moana.

I've decided I need something refreshing. Either a weekend trip, a concert, or just something FUN. I think this "anxious" feeling is caused by things in life being too repetitive. Which actually makes PLENTY of sense. I'm longing for something new, something different.
Justin Bieber's USmile video came out today. I like it :) <3
The weather is freaking AWESOME. It's cool now, I can finally wear a jacket and jeans without them sticking to me! A great breeze, but still some sunshine. It's great. How's the weather where all of you are living? :)
I'm working tomorrow and Saturday, so I'm hoping I can still get a good picture up! :)
I hope everyone is doing well, not much to talk about today! :/
P.S. I need a better camera :/

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.
In 1961 the SAR called for tenders for two narrow gauge diesel-electric locomotives for the Port Lincoln Division. A.E. Goodwin Ltd of Sydney was awarded the contract and locomotives 850 and 851 were delivered in March and April 1962. They were Alco Model DL531 900 HP Co-Co locomotives, almost identical to the earlier batch of ten (830-839) which had been supplied for broad gauge use. Seven more 830s were built specifically for the Port Lincoln Division (852-855 and 871-873).
850 was the first SAR narrow gauge diesel-electric locomotive. On its way to Port Lincoln it worked an ore train from Broken Hill to Port Pirie, then was conveyed by road from Crystal Brook to Port Lincoln. It entered service there on 24 March 1962 and has spent its entire working life on the Port Lincoln Division. When first delivered, it was based at Thevenard together with sister unit 851 for hauling gypsum from the Kevin mine. Before long both went into general service.

Suggested by the book Flying Saucers from Outer Space by retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Donald F. Keyhoe, this story, about an alien invasion of Earth, is highlighted by spectacular special effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Morris Ankrum as Brig. Gen. John Hanley

Harry Lauter as Cutting - Generator Technician
Charles was always cutting out stories from newspapers and in the mid-fifties there were a spat of flying saucer sightings. Charles thought this phenomenon would make a good feature and so Earth Vs the Flying Saucers was the result.
The design of the saucers was based on what most people would expect but Ray added an animated section into the top and underside that also had flutes in them so that people could see it was moving.
The various sizes of saucers (there are seven in total) were made from aluminium by Ray’s father and then anodised giving them a matt finish so they didn’t reflect light.
Ray never liked the latex alien suits used in the film even though he designed them. He would have preferred to animate models of the aliens but because of budget restrictions this was never possible.
Instead of drawing entire storyboards for the action, Ray used location photographs and executed rough sketches on them and then mounted them for storyboards.
As with The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, a great number of the rear project plates were stills.
For all the aerial model work Ray used old recording wire on which to suspend the saucers.
The miniatures sets – The Capitol and the Supreme Court buildings cost $1500 each and the Washington Monument cost just $500. Compare those costs with today’s budgets
Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (EvFS) is the flagship of 50s sci-fi B movies. It has all the hallmarks of a typical B movie: shot in black and white, much stock footage, low-budget props, etc. That said, EvFS is still the best of its breed. The acting is good (for the most part). Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation of the saucers is great. His saucers have more "life" than any model on a string could attain. The basic premise of hostile aliens invading the earth with flying saucers was a classic. EvFS would be a significant influence in Tim Burton's 1996 movie Mars Attacks.
Dr. Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) heads a nascent satellite program, but all of his satellites blow up or fall from orbit. A saucer buzzes Dr. Marvin and his wife as they drive to the base. Despite a call from Dr. Marvin's father-in-law (Morris Ankrum), they launch the next rocket. A saucer descends on the base. Troops open fire. The saucer is invulnerable, but one of the robot-like aliens is hit. The other alien-bots use heat beams to destroy the base. Only Dr. Marvin and his wife escape because they were in a deep bunker. The aliens came from a defunct solar system, intent on taking over the earth. They want earthlings to surrender peacefully so their new home won't be a ruin from the battle. Mankind is defiant. The aliens give earth 56 days to think it over. The time is used, instead, to develop an anti-saucer weapon. Dr. Marvin and staff develop a magnetic disruptor which makes the saucers unstable. When the fleet of saucers finally arrive over Washington DC, a whole fleet of disrupter-beam equipped Ford flatbed trucks is there to greet them. A mighty battle rages. Saucer heat beams destroy much, but the trucks take their toll too. Saucers wobble and fall into a variety of DC landmarks, including the Washington Monument. Finally, the last saucer falls. Earth is saved! The end.
It's hard not to enjoy this classic of 50s B sci-fi. It has everything a 50 sci-fi fan loves. The acting is reasonably good, the pacing is pretty good too, so even someone who isn't a fan of the genre could be suitably entertained.
EvFS is a classic allegory of Cold War tensions. A hostile force seeks to invade and take over. In the mid-50s, the threat from communism was never far from viewers' minds. The caustic Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev would say, later in 1956 "We will bury you!" would say later. When, in the movie, the earthlings decide to fight the saucers, an Army general says: "When an armed and threatening power lands uninvited in our capitol, we don't meet him with tea and cookies!" Such was American popular sentiment towards the threat of communism.
Stock Footage Fun -- amid the usual clips of P-80s and V-2s (Checkers!) and other military clips, are stock disaster clips. Storms, fires, destruction. For the sci-fi fan, there are also snippets recycled from earlier sci-fi movies. There are battle scenes cut from War of the Worlds ('53) and The Day the Earth Stood Still ('51).
Cheap Suit -- The aliens walk about in crude robot-like suits with faceless bullet-shaped helmets. The fit and finish of these suits is quite poor when you get a good look at them.
Alien Glimpse -- The brief scene in which the real alien (head) is exposed, reveals the taxonomy that would become archetypal: big head, tapering to a small neck, large almond-shaped eyes, tiny mouth. They're also said to weigh little, being fairly weak and frail. Of the many sorts of invading aliens seen thus far in the 50s, some were simple -- men in leotards Killers from Space, if not just plain people Devil Girl from Mars and Flight to Mars and giant humanoids: The Thing. A very few hostile (or at least frightening) invaders were not humanoid: Invaders from Mars and War of the Worlds. The alien in EvFS appears to be an early showing of what would later become the presumed "true" shape of alien life forms.
Bottom line? EvFS is well worth watching. Fans of 50s sci-fi will enjoy it. Family members of fans of 50s sci-fi can tolerate it. In many ways, it is the epitome of the B grade 50s science fiction movie.
This sensational design called "Raspberry Chocolate Truffle" features pale bronze Swarovski pearls, complimented by pale pink Swarovski pearls to create the classic pink and brown combination. Sterling silver Bali bead caps, pale pink and topaz Swarovski crystals gives this piece a glamorous touch.Its available in various sizes like 6", 7.25", 8", 10", 12", 26", M14" etc. It deals with dog accessories, dog gifts, dog luxury gifts, dog fashion etc!

I was reminded by a good friend of mine of Chris Killip's work which is being exhibited in France just now. This my more recent take (2009) in terms of time but some things don't seem to change that much.
Chris Killip's book is just as valid today: "When I first saw the beach at Lynemouth in January 1976, I recognized the industry above it but nothing else I was seeing. The beach beneath me was full of activity with horses and carts backed into the sea. Men were standing in the sea next to the carts, using small wire nets attached to poles to fish out the coal from the water beneath them. The place confounded time; here the Middle Ages and the twentieth century intertwined. Chris Killip began photographing the people of Lynemouth seacoal beach in the north east of England in 1982, after nearly seven years of failed efforts to obtain their consent. During 1983 to 1984 he lived in a caravan on the seacoal camp, and documented the life, work and the struggle to survive on the beach, using his unflinching style of objective documentation. Fifty, of the one hundred and twenty four images published here, were first shown in 1984 at the Side Gallery in Newcastle and others were an important element of Killips ground-breaking and legendary book In Flagrante, published four years later. Chris Killip, born on the Isle of Man in 1946, is a Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University where he has taught since 1991. His works are held in the permanent collections of, among others: Museum of Modern Art, New York; George Eastman House; Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco; Museum Folkwang, Essen; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. His books include In Flagrante (1988), Pirelli Work (2007), and Here Comes Everybody (2009)." Quoted from Amazon

Metairie Cemetery has the largest collection of elaborate marble tombs and funeral statuary in the city.
This 1885 life size statue represents a Confederate officer about to read the roll of the dead during the American Civil War. The statue is said to be modeled after Sergeant William Brunet of the Louisiana Guard Battery, but is intended to represent all Confederate soldiers.
Other notable monuments in Metairie Cemetery include:
the pseudo-Egyptian pyramid
the former tomb of Storyville madam Josie Arlington
Moriarity tomb, with a marble monument with a height of 60 feet (18 m) tall. A temporary special spur railroad line was built to bring the materials for this monument.
Memorial of 19th-century police chief David Hennessy, whose murder sparked a riot.
March 7th is Very Much Alive day.

Located in southwestern Ohio, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park is a 265-acre park and outdoor museum combining the nature with art.
ohiomag.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=586CA122EB394032BD4AA3B686...
Hamilton attorney Harry Wilks started to build his dream house in the country, and ended up creating a nationally acclaimed sculpture park. At 80, Harry Wilks lives alone in an underground house atop a hill surrounded by woods, meadows and huge sculptures. When he drinks his morning coffee under his glass pyramid roof, he can enjoy his collection of antiquities: . . . When he climbs his two-story tower, he looks out on his 265-acres "yard" and surveys a landscape unlike any other. On a hill to the west stands "Abracadabra," a giant crimson swirl of steel set in a field of green. . . . At every turn, sculpture — in steel, bronze, stone, and wood — creates a thrilling medley of nature and art.
This is Pyramid Hill, the retired Hamilton attorney's home . . . It's also the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum, one of only five in the nation. …It all started, Wilks says, with a chain saw. "I wanted to move out of town when I retired, so I bought 40 acres out here. Then I bought a chain saw and a machete and started to clear the brush. Then I needed to hire a bulldozer to put in the roads and lakes and the bulldozer driver was a golfer, so he suggested a golf course. I built eight and a half holes of golf and I stopped." As adjacent land became available, Wilks bought as much as he could, until he had 265 acres of hilly woodland on the Great Miami River, a mile southwest of Hamilton in Butler County. "I think it was one day when we were cutting down trees that I saw a dogwood in bloom, and it was so beautiful and I thought, 'By God, I have to save this.' I began to love nature. After I built my house out here I put in the eight lakes and I already had the tennis court and the hiking trails. My friends would come to visit, and they started to offer me money for some of my land. They were offering $100,000 and $125,000 an acre. These were wealthy men. I had eight offers in four months and they totaled almost a million dollars. And I thought, 'What the heck's going to happen to all this when I die?' My two daughters have places of their own. They would have to sell it. And I thought of all the work I had put into this, building roads, acquiring more land. I had done it all myself, with no master plan, no engineers, no architects. So I stopped, in the middle of the ninth hole. I thought, 'How can I prevent this land from being sold?'"
"I see myself as the caretaker of the land while I am here," he says, "and I want this to be here for hundreds of years."

Ultima intervista a Woody Allen a Cannes
“Ve lo dico un’altra volta: non c’è felicità nella vita. Questa è sempre stata la mia prospettiva: lo penso sin da quando ero un ragazzo.
Per me la vita è un viaggio da incubo, un’esperienza molto dolorosa e non sono il primo a dirlo. Penso anche a Nietzsche, Freud o Eugene O’Neill che sostenevano la stessa cosa. Il trucco è sapere affrontare la vita mentendo spudoratamente a se stessi. Perché se si finisce col guardarla con occhi obiettivi vi rendereste conto che è intollerabile.
La cosa bella di questa città è che il clima è grigio e le estati sono fredde, il che può essere davvero utile per creare una fotografia unica per il film. Ma me ne starei comodamente nella mia amata New York se potessi trovare i finanziamenti per le mie storie. Girare in Europa costa molto meno, solo per questo continuo a farlo.
Non ci sono attori con cui aspiro tanto a lavorare, be’ mi piacerebbe dirigere Cate Blanchett o Reese Witherspoon ma non ho ancora trovato un ruolo per loro. Dipende sempre dallo script e una volta che ho creato il personaggio penso a chi posso offrirlo. Con quest’ultima pellicola sono stato molto fortunato a trovarli tutti gli attori che volevo. E tutti erano disponibili.
Non recito perché non trovo un ruolo adatto a me. Sono troppo vecchio e molti dei ruoli nei film che ho fatto sono sempre quelli di un romantico che riesce a conquistare la sua donna. Adesso non immaginate la frustrazione che provo quando recito insieme a Scarlett Johansson ed è un uomo più giovane ad averla!
Se potessi invecchiare come Manoel De Oliveira ci metterei subito la firma. Ma la mia posizione sulla morte resta sempre quella: sono profondamente contrario. E in quanto alla vecchiaia non ve la consiglio affatto! Non è che si diventa più saggi, ma è tutto un precipitare di dolore in cui ti ritrovi a vedere e sentire sempre meno e scordarti le cose in fretta.
Datemi retta, meglio essere giovani e riuscire a conquistare la vostra donna."

All over the hills of the Shan states, some small pagodas are built on the highest points of the village. This is wonderful to trek in such an environment. You can easily know where are the villages kilometers before reaching them, just look above the find out the pagodas.
As we enter this village, the kids and their mother were praying/wandering around the pagoda, but as soon as they say us ran to us trying to practice the few words of English they could speak. Such a joyful meeting.
We left some pen to the older ones, the one at the primary school only use pencils.
Wonderful meeting again, days away from the road.

The Soligas are a tribe that inhabits the Biligirirangan and associated hill ranges in Southern Karnataka, India. Their population numbers close to 20000, although the population in and around Biligrirangan Hills is only 2000.
The word 'Soliga' means 'one who has come from within a bamboo'. The Soligas believe that their ancestors originated from the bamboo. The tribal settlement is called Podu. It consists of a group of usually 10 to 50 huts. The huts are made of bamboos and dried grass. The door is a portable bamboo frame and usually 3 feet in height.
The religion of the Soligas is the poetry of their life. They do not find God to be away or alien but feel His presence in the forest, in Nature and in every blade of grass. They revere a big Champak tree (Dodda Sampige in local tongue) in the interior forest.
"The Lord of Dodda Sampige Do protect us! The creeper that hangs over the tree Swings gently as a cradle for Thee."
Traditionally, the Soligas led a seminomadic life and subsisted on small game. Shifting cultivation, coffee and minor forest produce like honey, wild roots, tubes and fruits. Ragi is their staple food.
They are increasingly being brought to the 'main-stream' with an active Government and NGO initiative (such as VGKK). Many have been given lands closer to 'civilization' and most of the forest-dwelling population have been brought together into clusters called Podus. Nowadays their homes are being constructed with brick and with the arrival of DTH Satellite Television in the area, most houses have television sets as well!
