View On Black Taken by my daughter allfivehorizons10 with a Canon Powershot SD1100IS
Last night (October 28) my daughter and I went to see Pearl Jam at the Wachovia Spectrum in Philadelphia. We will go again on Friday (October 30). These are two of the final four shows ever at the Spectrum as they will be tearing it down following this. This is the first time that Pearl Jam ever played four consecutive shows at one venue. These are the 10th and 11th Pearl Jam concerts that my daughter and I have attended together as part of our father daughter Pearl Jam concert tradition that we began since we first saw them live at Jones Beach in 2000. Our seats were so bad then that we vowed to see them again with better seats and so we joined the Ten Club and have gotten amazing seats ever since.
I didn’t take my Canon Powershot G10 with me as the tickets state that there is a no camera policy and it is a chunkier camera than my little Nikon Coolpix 5600, so I stuck it in my pocket and they didn’t hassle me. My daughter managed to sneak in her Canon Powershot SD1100IS point and shoot, and got some amazing pictures here allfivehorizons10

La originalidad es una de las características importantes para que un producto o una marca tenga éxito, y éste adjetivo es con el que mejor definimos la bisutería que realiza Patricia Nicolás. La firma toma el nombre de la diseñadora, que estudió en la prestigiosa Central Saint Martin College y cuyas joyas han estado en las vitrinas de Harrods y Harvey Nichols. Está claro que si eliges una pieza de Patricia no pasarás desapercibida, probablemente se haga la reina del look porque gambas, dedos, loros o caras de personajes tan conocidos como Frida Kahlo conforman anillos, pendientes y collares de lo más diferentes y coloridos. Está claro que para ella la vida es corta y hay que aprovecharla y atreverse con cosas así. También recibió el premio Freedom at Topshop, lo que le hizo que sus piezas estuviesen expuestas en la Flagship Store de la prestigiosa cadena británica. Y por si fuera poco también ha hecho sus pinitos en la pasarela creando una colección para la diseñadora de corsés Maya Hansen. Una carrera llena de éxitos y llena de colecciones animadas y llenas de positivismo. En la última colección llena de ojos de todos los colores sus pendientes, anillos y maxi-collares, para que no os perdáis nada cuando vais andando por la calle. Hay que tener quizás un poco de cuidado con el estilo tan marcado de los accesorios y no abusar de ello en un mismo look, siempre quedarán perfectos con prendas básicas de colores planos. Procurar no combinarlo con estampados porque se perderán ambos dibujos. ¿Qué os parecen estos accesorios?

The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, better known as the 'Big Mac' Bridge due to its golden yellow arches, connects Interstate 71 in downtown Cincinnati to Kentucky. The bridge is named after the founder of the Boy Scouts, who was born and raised nearby. However, many locals, including traffic reporters, ignore the bridge's official name and instead call it "The Big Mac Bridge".
Right-of-way acquisition for the bridge began in January 1968, and construction began on the Ohio River crossing in November 1971. The still-unnamed bridge opened to limited traffic in September 1976. The name of the new bridge was announced on October 5, 1976, the choice being to name the bridge after Daniel Carter Beard, in honor of the founder of the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts had lobbied hard for the bridge to carry Beard's name, with some paddling down the Ohio and Kentucky rivers to carry petitions to the governor in Frankfort. The Ohio River span and a short section of highway were dedicated on February 14, 1977, with Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown leading the dedication ceremonies.
The bridge is the easternmost of the city's downtown bridge group.

Il 26 gennaio in tutta Italia si sono verificate 52 perquisizioni che hanno portato a 26 arresti e 16 denunce a piede libero per le mobilitazioni contro la costruzione della linea ad alta velocità Torino-Lione (TAV). Le accuse sono resistenza, violenza, lesioni a pubblico ufficiale e riguardano in particolare i fatti di Chiomonte del 3 luglio, quando una grandissima manifestazione si era opposta alla costruzione del “fortino”, creato per proteggere il cantiere di questa grande opera.
Ma alla popolazione della Val Susa, come a tutti noi, un modello di sviluppo incentrato su devastazione del territorio e sempre maggiori profitti per speculatori e padroni vari, non serve.
Dal 1991 in Val Susa i comitati popolari NoTav si battono contro questa linea ferroviaria sulla quale si giocano enormi interessi economici; interessi che sono in antitesi con i bisogni e le condizioni di vita reali della maggior parte della popolazione. In questo modo il capitalismo italiano cerca di rilanciare il proprio ruolo all’interno dell’UE, diventando una piattaforma di transito-merci e manodopera, e imponendo alla popolazione i costi economici, sociali, ambientali e militari dell’operazione. In Val Susa abbiamo visto una lotta partecipata, condivisa che ha travalicato i confini della valle, contribuendo a palesare i limiti di questo modello sociale.
Mentre la Tav passa sulla testa delle popolazioni, è in atto l’ulteriore smantellamento dei diritti nel mondo del lavoro annunciato dal governo tecnico.
In questi ultimi mesi, e anni, si sono moltiplicate le lotte dei lavoratori contro la chiusura delle fabbriche, lo sfruttamento, la continua precarizzazione dei contratti di lavoro, la mercificazione dell’istruzione.
Ne sono un esempio le aziende occupate, i presidi permanenti dei lavoratori, le mobilitazioni degli studenti, o dei comitati territoriali che si oppongono a progetti di devastazione territoriale attraverso la creazione di discariche (Chiaiano) o infrastrutture (ponte sullo stretto, TEM).
All’interno di queste lotte si sono mossi fino ad oggi gli arrestati. Le misure restrittive, coadiuvate dalla spettacolarizzazione mediatica, criminalizzano le lotte cercano di isolare questi compagni dal tessuto sociale in cui sono inseriti. Ma il movimento Notav è una lotta popolare con una esperienza ventennale che attraverso un senso di partecipazione attiva alla lotta ha sviluppato dei validi anticorpi alla distinzione tra buoni e cattivi.
Le lotte di oggi, per quanto frammentarie e parziali, pongono una critica profonda al capitalismo, e rappresentano un’anticamera concreta allo sviluppo di un diverso sistema sociale. Proprio questa alternativa preoccupa la classe dirigente. Nel tentativo di riproporre lo spauracchio degli infiltrati nei movimenti sociali (siano essi terroristi o blackblock), la toga rossa Caselli ha affermato che “questo non è un attacco alla Valsusa”. Infatti non lo è. E’ un attacco contro tutti i movimenti sociali in lotta.
Libertà per tutte e tutti!

It was raining in Southern California today and daily high did not pass 20C! What in the world is happening to our weather? Normally, this time of the year, we have extremely hot 40C+ temps, no rain for 8-10 months out of the year... and it is what? Raining? Here????
In any case, this picture I am dedicating to my friend John since he and I have been debating the "value" of black and white.. I dislike black and white. yet, I must admit, this picture of the tiny puddle and the rain falling from the sky looked nothing worthy of flickr posting until I converted it to black and white!
So thanks John for pushing me! I actually like this one so perhaps there is hope.. this is my second black and white on flickr... so keep on pushing me my friend and I might some day become a black and white advocate! =)

Si raccontano l’un con l’altro i lavori realizzati per l’occasione e la motivazione del loro incontro. Prima in quattro o cinque, poi sempre più sino ad una trentina e oltre. Sono i graffitisti o artisti di strada - creativi contemporanei, come loro preferiscono definirsi - che ieri, da pomeriggio a sera, si sono riuniti dinanzi al Madre per manifestare il loro dissenso con «Madre snaturata», la pacifica manifestazione ideata dall’artista Iabo e dal «cacciatore di graffiti» Augusto De Luca. Una performance creativa in controcanto a «Urban Superstar show», la mostra a cura di David Vecchiato per Mondopop - che il museo di via Settembrini ospita come fuori salone di «Comicon» e da cui risultano esclusi i napoletani e i meridionali in genere - che i protestatari hanno disertato, lasciando sui marciapiedi e sui muri le loro opere per poi dileguarsi in serata, prima dell’inaugurazione. Provenienti da Napoli e dintorni ma anche da Avellino, Benevento e Salerno, sono tutti compatti e solidali con Iabo&De Luca che dalla rete hanno fatto circolare la propria disapprovazione per l’esclusione dalla rassegna di artisti meridionali: «Avremmo gradito un’iniziativa di collegamento con il territorio - spiegano i due - se non l’inserimento nella rassegna almeno la segnalazione del movimento locale con un’iniziativa collaterale». Il risultato è una simpatica operazione creativa. C’è chi ha disseminato il marciapiede di bambolotti, come il collettivo salernitano Satoboy, per simboleggiare i «figli napoletani» abbandonati dal museo diretto da Eduardo Cicelyn, e chi ha preparato adesivi con il profilo di bombolette di colore spray mentre, in grembo a madri intente a cullarle, gridano «mamma» come Korvo. C’è poi Vincenzo, noto come Last 22, che con lo stencil propone una serie di pettirossi, scelti come simbolo del male di vivere; poi, i manifesti di Trapanig (un feto in una pupilla, emblema dell’occhio che non vede), quelli di Helios (una foto di Lucio Amelio, il «fate presto» del Mattino per il terremoto dell’80, l’affiche «Madre snaturata»). Con loro tanti altri performer, ciascuno a dire la propria. «In attesa, magari, di una mostra, al Cam di Casoria» auspicano in conclusione Iabo&De Luca.

Stumbled upon a group from the us forest service who were using an airfield in Fredricksburg, Texas to fight forest fires in West Texas. This was a helicopter contracted by the forest service to help. Talked with the folks at the airfield and the crew for a while and they were nice enough to let me check out their helicopter. They even gave me a tour of the inside and let me snap of some pics. This helicopter is the little brother of Marine 1, the helicopter used by the President of the United States.

"...Nell’Agamennone, dramma dell’angoscia e dell’oppressione, ha luogo l’assassinio del re di Argo ad opera della moglie Clitennestra, istigata dall’amante Egisto; qui la regina giustifica il suo gesto con la morte della figlia Ifigenia, che era stata precedentemente uccisa per mano di Agamennnone come vittima sacrificale perché la flotta greca, bloccata in Aulide dai venti contrari (e dal volere degli dei), potesse giungere a Troia.
Nelle Coefore, attraverso un continuo alternarsi di stati d’animo, Oreste uccide la madre Clitennestra e il suo amante. Anche lui, come aveva fatto Clitennestra con la morte di Ifigenia, cerca di difendere il gesto compiuto adducendo come motivo l’assassinio del padre: l’eroe tragico giace sotto il giogo di Ananke, Necessità, posto davanti a due strade che non sembra possibile seguire, e fra le quali bisogna tuttavia scegliere. Ma tutte le giustificazioni addotte da Oreste non impediscono che le Erinni, le furie vendicatrici della madre, giungano a perseguitarlo. Con le Eumenidi si interrompe questa catena di delitti e di orrori, e ha luogo l’assoluzione del matricida innanzi al tribunale dell’Aeropago istituito da Atena: a una logica di vendetta privata subentra l’istituzione di un tribunale, con le sue regole ma anche i suoi limiti. E non è un caso che Oreste sia assolto grazie alla parità di voti raggiunta con il parere favorevole di Atena, come a testimoniare l’impossibilità di comprendere con la sola sottigliezza umana l’ambiguità dell’esistenza."

Today I was with family for an early easter get-together/late birthday gift giving because my grandfather, aunt and I are the only ones that have birthdays at the beginning of the year and that always gets messed up. Nearly EVERYONE else's birthdays are around september, which used to make me sad as a kid because I would never get my gifts around the same time as everyone else, and I basically had to sit around when all of my cousins were getting things and be polite and shut my mouth. xD I don't mind it anymore at all (but i was a kid and i was a pouty little thing sometimes, haha!). I got more money for crafty stuff. Yay! Thank you Aunt Jane. =D
So anyway, off with that rambling. My step-grandmother took us to her "southern mansion" (as she calls it; it's more like an antique store gone wrong) to show us her reupholstering jobs. The outside is fabulous, though i totally spaced taking a decent picture. So the next few pictures will be from this place, along with the songs that have plagued me throughout the course of the day. xD
So! I found this little beauty (the necklace) on one of the walls in the place. AND I WAS ALLOWED TO KEEP IT. YAYYYY.
This one just happens to remind me of my lovely. =o
I was out of your league
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Waiving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn't wanna see
Down to the bottom
I wanted a junction and often there was one
You'd surface face first and we'd share our thought bubbles
And I still believe in the phrases that we breathed
But I know the distance isn't fair to cross
I was out of your league
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Waiving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn't wanna see
Wanted you nearer
Your depths made a pressure that punctured my works and all your fluids couldn't tolerate the force of my thirst
I love the place where we shared our tiny grace
But because it's real doesn't mean it's gonna work
I was out of your league
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Waiving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn't wanna see
Wanted you nearer
And true affection floats
True affections sinks like a stone
I never felt so close
I never felt so all alone
I was out of your league
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Waiving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn't wanna see
Wanted you nearer...

Wooly Mammoth tusks are a relic from a world that disappeared around 11,500 years ago, when Wooly Mammoths and many other species of large animal went extinct. During their peak, the Mammoths lived in the far north of Europe, Asia and North America. They were the biggest animals around. Woolies continued to grow well into adult life: females until age 25, males until as late as 40. The males stood up to eleven feet tall at the shoulder and weighed around six tons. Female Woolies, noticeably smaller, were more lightly built, weighing up to 4 tons and standing 8 ½ to 9 ½ feet tall. Newborn babies weighed a whopping 200 pounds at birth!
Nearly all Mammoth tusks are found in the permafrost of the far north, with most from Siberia. Once extracted from the tundra, a Wooly Mammoth tusk needs almost a year of preparation before it is ready to be displayed. The preparation helps offset tens of thousands of years spent freeze drying in the tundra. Preparators, as they are known, slowly and carefully return moisture to the tusk and repair the small cracks that nearly always form in these fossils. Once completed the tusks are ready for display.
One of the most noteworthy fossil specimens available to customers of touchstone gallery are our exceptional examples of Wooly Mammoth tusks. These pieces make great natural art displays and are true conversation showpieces. The tusks of an adult male Wooly were typically around 8-9 feet long and weighed 90-100 pounds. On females, tusks were usually 5-6 feet long and weighed around 25 pounds. As in days of old, these mammoths dominate their space! This fine adult male mammoth tusk is just under eight feet long from tip to butt along the outside of the tusk, and weighs approximately 100 pounds.
For more information about this impressive fossil, please inquire by phone or email.

A house in Brougham with the forgotten spirits/ memories that are being lost
Green River and Brougham are two towns a couple miles apart where I grew up. The land was expropriated several decades ago to build a new Toronto International Airport. The original owners were forced out for progress that did not happen and the house and properties were rented by the Federal Government to people like my mother. 30+ years later, with renewed interest in the airport, renters are being systematically forced out and farms and houses bulldozed, in preparation for the Airport. The loss of hundreds of years of culture and some of the finest most pristine nature, farm land and trout streams left in Southern Ontario is sad and tragic…we are watching our past be leveled.

Another man evicted in Brougham
by darinotte @ 24 Feb. 2008 - 12:12:17 pm
Residents have had enough with saying goodbye to long-time friends
Tue Jan 29, 2008
By Kristen Calis
PICKERING -- Protestors, politicians and concerned residents marched along the streets of Brougham on Monday, carrying a casket not to mourn a death, but the loss of hopes and dreams of a longtime resident.
It was the day Mike Puterbough, who moved into his Brougham home in 1974, was evicted. The 59-year-old has been fighting Transport Canada in a court battle for the past three years, and said he was finally told to go because his home wasn’t worth fixing.
“I’ve been very angry but today I just feel complete sadness,” Mr. Puterbough said.
The federal government expropriated 7,500 hectares of farmland in 1972, but has still given no final word on whether an airport will be built or not on the land. In the meantime, the community has been slowly diminishing, and residents in north Pickering have been fighting evictions and demolitions of homes.
The local anti-airport group Land Over Landings began as People or Plains, of which Michael Robertson was a founding member. He spoke of his disgust at the protest.
“We’re here witnessing what, for a normal landlord, was an illegal act,” he said to approximately 50 supporters. “A winter eviction, after 33 years, and with a heart condition, Mike is literally put out in the cold. This is clearly over the edge of common decency, if not the law.”
Mr. Robertson added the fight isn’t over.
Mr. Puterbough will move in with family in Uxbridge for the time being, but isn’t sure where he’ll go after that.
This weekend I viewed an hour long documentary regarding the history of the proposed Pickering airport. I was inspired by the fact that back in the 70's, hippy farmers were able to stick it to the man & stop the airport development. The fight continues to this; here are some related links:

So here is a older image that i have had in my to edit folder. One of my biggest problems with it was that i cut off the top of the trees on the right, which i did not seem to realize when i took the photo. I think the main reason i came back to it today was that i have been feeling rather down in the past few days and i looked at this and thought hmmm this slightly goes along with my mood, a dreary depressing day.
This was taken on a foothill that faces Mount Bachelor in Bend Oregon, it was a very cold and rainy day but we were not going to let that stop us from a great photo trip. It was great to be able to see snow in person again as i have not seen it in over six years since i moved to Florida from Mass, so no mater how old and rainy it was i was very much enjoying my time.
Well hopefully i will have some good photo's for you guys tomorrow evening or the next morning as i am heading south to Jupiter's Blowing Rocks which is a fantastic place to shoot during a larger swell which we are having right now, its a large reef that is on the beach and with larger swells the water shoots up through the reefs creating the blowing affect.

Despertar os sentidos
A concepção do jardim assenta na especificidade da maioria dos seus criadores e na dos destinatários: é um jardim feito por crianças a pensar nas crianças.
A melhor forma encontrada para abordar o tema dos sentidos de um prisma essencialmente infantil baseou-se num desenho da Laura, na altura com 4 anos. Considerando que o rosto humano encerra em si a quase totalidade das janelas para os sentidos, e que é no rosto que temos os órgãos receptores de uma série de estímulos, foi também opção dos autores conceber a exploração do espaço de jardim num duplo propósito: o esteticamente aprazível tem de conviver com o ludicamente atractivo.
É sugerido ao visitante um percurso que também encerra uma dupla valência. Ao mesmo tempo que se exploram os espaços do jardim, é dada a primazia ao sentido que o rosto recebe mas não protagoniza. Com efeito, ao propor aos visitantes que se descalcem, os criadores remetem ao longo de todo o jardim para o tacto. É a pé e com os pés que se deve usufruir do espaço, experimentando as várias texturas.
Quanto aos outros sentidos, as propostas são variadas: a simulação de um lago no lugar da boca como ilustração da metáfora “água na boca”; os instrumentos musicais como a vocalarpa ou o tubobidonofone (este no local de uma das orelhas “forrado” por canas que emitem sons com o soprar do vento); a instalação da audeólica, os últimos para ilustrarem a audição. Na visão, os canteiros em forma de olhos e o apelo às mais variadas sugestões cromáticas nas variações de piso, nas cores da vegetação com tanto de mimético como de metafórico, ou através de vários artifícios, como as garrafas e as mangueiras pintadas no local dos cabelos, são alguns dos pontos a destacar. No que respeita ao olfacto, inevitavelmente centrado no nariz, são os odores florais e de plantas aromáticas que detêm a primazia.
Para além da ilustração dos sentidos, a sugestão do percurso não se pretende meramente contemplativa. Foram criadas áreas de lazer para o público infantil, onde para além dos instrumentos musicais, o visitante poderá encontrar um espaço de leitura, a VocaBolaRis, e outro para brincar. Este último inclui, na orelha esquerda do rosto, a espiralbola, ilustrativa da vertigem do tímpano. Ao lado, todos poderão jogar à macaca, numa área concebida e pensada para o efeito.
Boycott Guillermo Habacuc Vargas!
21/10/2007
www.marcaacme.com/blogs/analog/index.php/2007/08/22/5_pie...
Ricevo una notizia da un’amica e sono davvero shoccato. L’ “artista” Guillermo Habacuc Vargas ha organizzato una cruenta esposizione in un museo: un cane è legato ad una corda e gli è impedito di alimentarsi. In aggiunta, le mura che circondando l’animale sono ricoperte di scritte create utilizzando croccantini per cani. Inutile dire che il povero animale è deceduto poco tempo dopo l’inizio della mostra… Non riesco a capire come nessuno possa essere intervenuto per impedire questa tortura… Molte fotografie mostrano il pubblico intendo a guardare la mostra, con free drink e stuzzichini fra le mani, fregandosene altamente della vita di questo animale. L’ “artista” si giustifica sottolineando che, siccome il cane è randagio, prima o poi sarebbe morto comunque…
FIRMA LA PETIZIONE
www.PetitionOnline.com/13031953
---------------
La mostra dovrebbe essere avvenuta in agosto, il blog dove c'è il racconto di cio' che è accaduto ha dovuto chiudere l'accesso ai commenti perchè sono stati seppelliti di insulti e minacce. Il sig. Habacuc scrive per "giustificare" quello che ha fatto:
"Nativity was a very sick creature and would have died in the streets anyway. " che se non sbaglio si traduce con Nativity ERA una creatura molto malata che SAREBBE comunque MORTA per strada.
Ora che in pochi giorni si è sparsa la notizia e la gente indignata vuole "la testa" di questo personaggio, spunta la notizia rilasciata dagli organizzatori della mostra, che il cane era ben nutrito con il cibo fornitor dal SIG: HABACUC stesso (e lo si puo' notare dalle foto) ed è scappato notte tempo dalla mostra (magari non gli piacevano i croccantini....)
Già era terribile mischiare questo all'arte ma anche la presa PER IL NASO.....
EXPLANATION OF GALERIA CODICE
Managua, 19 of October
Gallery Codice from its creation in 1991, has promoted the Central American, but specially the Nicaraguans visual arts, as much in the national level, like in regional and the international. In Codice they have exposed great Central American teachers, as well as consolidated and emergenging artists. The contemporary languages of the universal art also have had space in Codice, reason why periodically it welcomes samples of conceptual art. With that spirit, Thursday 16 of August just last No.1 Exhibition appeared, of the Costa Rican artist, Guillermo Vargas, known artistically as HABACUC.
One of the exposed works consisted of presenting/displaying a famélico dog that Habacuc gathered off the street, and during the exhibition he appeared moored with a nylon cord, that was subject as well to another cord that hung of two nails in a corner of the Gallery. Habucuc named the dog "Natividad" in tribute to the Nicaraguan Natividad Canda (24 years) that died devoured by two Rottweiler dogs in a factory of San Jose, Costa Rica, the dawn of Thursday 10 of November of 2005.
The dog remained in the premises three days, from the 5pm afternoon of Wednesday 15 of August. He was loose all along in the inner patio, except the 3 hours that the sample lasted, was fed regularly with dog food that the same Habucuc brought. Surprise, to the dawn of Friday 17, the dog escaped happening through the iron doors of the main entrance of the building, while the nocturnal watchman who finished feeding cleaned it the outer sidewalk of the same one.
The Gallery Codice reserves the right of guarding by the quality of the exposed works, respecting at any moment the creativity of the artist and it has never tried to exert no type of censorship, as long as they do not attempt against the elementary principles of the ethics and much less than they imply the life of a living being, is human or animal. I thought to remain with "Natividad", but he preferred to return to his own habitat. I celebrate the one that so many people in the international level have been annoying by the declarations offered by Habacuc, in which she maintained that its intention was to let die to the starvation dog, which is of its absolute responsibility. When fulfilling informing the truth into the facts, I hope that all those same people have also elevated their voice of repudio when Natividad Canda was devoured by the Rottweiler.

Day 107/365
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

I was hit with random inspiration to journey to the Dallas Divide this morning, and though it is a long drive, it was well worth it. The light was dodgy at first, with the pre-dawn hues lighting up the clouds above the mountains. The lighting really never materialized beyond that because of the cloud cover and the intermittent snow showers. The last few trees showing off their color is a consolation, I should have been to this area 5 days earlier. Oh well, from what I've heard foliage isn't really "popping" anywhere in Colorado.
Thanks for viewing
This is an important year coming. I've been a photographer for 2 years, learning day after day how to use my camera and lights. I guess i have became more a technician than an artist. I needed that to be confident, you know. What's more, it's only the beginning : learning never ends. That's the reason why it's time for me, this year, to go back to the artistic part of me.
In 2010, i wish i was an artist on her way to earn a living with her passion. That's the most beautiful dream i can make...
Thank you all my Flickr-friends for passing by regularly and for your kind support. I wish all the best for you guys !
Cette année est très importante pour moi. Depuis 2 ans, j'apprends jour après jour comment me servir de mon appareil et de mon éclairage. Je suis certainement devenue une technicienne plus qu'une artiste. Je crois que j'avais besoin de ça pour être sure de moi. Et puis, ce n'est que le début : on n'a jamais fini d'apprendre ! C'est pourquoi il est temps, cette année, que je retrouve l'artiste qui est en moi.
En 2010, je souhaite être une artiste capable de gagner sa vie grâce à sa passion. C'est le plus beau rêve que je puisse faire...
Merci à tous mes amis Flickr de passer par ici régulièrement et m'encourager. Je vous souhaite une belle année !
About the Artist -
Statement
Alejandro Diaz is originally from San Antonio, where he developed a provocative and pertinent body of work exemplifying the complex and visually rich cultural milieu particular to South Texas and Mexico. He has lived in Mexico City, and is currently based in New York City.
Diaz is well-known for his conceptual, recurrent use of everyday materials; his humor infused politics; and his ongoing involvement with art as a form of entertainment, activism, public intervention, and free enterprise. He began making and selling his cardboard signs, “Mexican Wallpaper”, on the streets of Manhattan in the late 90s. More recently, he has translated them into a compelling series of colorful neon signs. Some of Diaz’ recent projects include a commission to create large-scale outdoor sculptures for the Public Art Fund (2005), New York’s premier presenter of public art, now part of the permanent public art collection of the City of San Antonio, on display at the San Antonio International Airport, and a public art commission for the Havana Biennial (2003). He is currently in a group exhibition at LACMA which will travel to Mexico City, San Antonio, New York, and Houston (2008-2010), and is currently in a solo exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (2009). Most recently, he received the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award for excellence in the visual arts in 2008. Diaz has had numerous solo exhibitions, including his first at Jessica Murray Projects, NY. He has lectured on his work at the Whitney Museum of American Art and at the Drawing Center, NY.
Si amigos, hoy me he quitado la máscara para mostraros la auténtica verdad sobre mí.
Yo ya sospechaba algo de pequeño, pero mi madre siempre entre bromas me decía: "A tí te recogimos de una familia gitana..."
¡Ja! Pero no eran gitanos, ¡eran VISITANTES DEL ESPACIO EXTERIOR!
Ahora entiendo por qué me despellejaba tanto y me decían:
- Eso es del sol...
- ¿Y la piel verde que tengo debajo?
- Eso es de los flash congelados esos que te tomas niño, que tienen mucha "fuchina".
- Mamá, la lengua vale... ¿pero la piel también?
- ¡Hombreee, pos clarooo..!
Y así fueron capeando la situación hasta que descubrí la cruda realidad de mis orígenes; el por qué de mi forma de ser antisocial, esos antojos de ratones al chilindrón con berberechos a las 4 a.m. y de mis ansias de acabar con toda la raza humana...
Pero tranquilos, esfínteres relajados... porque aunque para mí sería muy fácil destruir vuestra inferior forma de vida con mi blaster de bolsillo, durante estos años he aprendido a amar cosas tan mundanas como las alpargatas de jubilado en invierno, los paseos al atardecer en bicicleta, el Santa Teresa con Coca-Cola, el pan tostao con foie-gras y todos los grandes éxitos de Camela...

Abe BIRNBAUM •
* 18 November 1898 in New York City, NY.
✝︎ 19 June 1966 in Lenox Hospital, New York.
The New Yorker — November 18, 1951.
Issue 1918 — Volume 37 — Number 40.
About BIRNBAUM ↓
Abe Birnbaum painted nearly 200 covers for The New Yorker magazine.
Mr. Birnbaum's last New Yorker cover appeared on the issue of May 28. In the bold and simple lines that were the stamp of his style, he drew two white sails on blue-green water under a broad blue sky.
Mr. Birnbaum represented people and objects in their most uncomplicated terms. A Lincoln Day cover several years ago showed only the hint of a stovepipe hat and some red, white, and blue bunting.
He contributed more portraits and drawings to the magazine's Profile and Reporter at Large sections than any other artist. His portraits, done in pen and ink and brush, reduced the face in one or two lines to what it was supposed to be a profile.
▪️Versatile Illustrator
Mr. Birnbaum did portraits of Henry Moore, the sculptor, and Abe H. Feder, a theatrical lighting man. In addition, he drew hockey players, hurricanes and illustrations for articles on television, smoking and cricket.
The magazine also used thousands of Mr. Birnbaum's spot drawings on inside pages that punctuated and indented columns of type. For one long story on burglary, he drew a keyhole that was described as "the most intensely keyhole keyhole there has ever been."
Mr. Birnbaum was an exacting craftsman. In the studio of his home in Croton, N.Y. surrounded by most of his 15 cats, he would draw an object such as a chair 200 times or more to get it right.
"Nothing is ugly," he said often. "Everything is what it is."
Mr. Birnbaum also drew illustrations for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and The New York Times Sunday drama section. He had illustrated several books, including "Green Eyes,” which a jury picked as the best-illustrated children's book of 1953. The most recent book he illustrated is another juvenile title, “Did a Bear Just Walk There,” by Ann Rand.
▪️ At Art Students League
Born in Manhattan, Mr. Birnbaum studied at the Art Students League under Boardman Robinson and Kenneth Hayes Miller.
Mr. Birnbaum had held exhibitions at the Carnegie Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Kalkan (Greek: Kalamaki) is a town on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, which averages 300 days of sunshine a year. The area includes many historical sites and many fine beaches. The word Kalkan is Turkish for 'shield'. Kalkan is an old fishing town, and the only safe harbor between Kaş and Fethiye; it is famous for its white-washed houses, descending to the sea, and its brightly colored bougainvilleas. Until the early 1920s the majority of its inhabitants were Greeks. They had to leave the town in 1923 because of the Exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War. They emigrated mainly to Attica, where they founded the new town of Kalamaki. With much of the surrounding land still undeveloped and with many nearby remains of ancient civilizations, Kalkan is the ideal resort[citation needed] for those who want calm and relaxation, enjoying the natural beauty of the cleanest seashores and of rough mountains covered with pine forests, and also for those who want to explore the remains of the ancient Lycian cities in the neighborhood. Lycia, "The Land of Light", which is the first known federation in history, included the many city-states between modern-day Fethiye and Antalya, and its capital was Xanthos (Arna in Lycian language), which is Kinik today, 17 km (11 mi) from Kalkan. Kalkan was an important harbour town until the 1970s as the only seaport for the environs. It declined after construction of Fethiye road but revived after the emergence of the tourism industry in the region. Although part of the Antalya province administratively, Kalkan is connected more closely to Fethiye economically and for transportation. British newspaper The Independent listed Kalkan among the best tourist destinations for 2007. The paper recommended Kalkan especially for those seeking a romantic vacation and who do not want to travel far from their home country in Europe, and defined the town as a destination of choice.
You only have to see the reaction of the audience to see the value of street performers. I loved the looks of surprise, delight and disgust as this street performer squeezed his whole body through the head of a tennis racquet. I think he had just dislocated his right arm to get his shoulders to fit through.

This daisy had a surprise for any little bug passing bye! The little white spider--barely noticeable--appeared as a daisy petal even from as close as 5-6 inches! I could not make its body parts out (i was not sure if I am shooting its front or back) until I developed the pictures. Because i did not see it clear enough, I took about 100 picture sof it.. so now I have 100 perfectly clear and sharp monsters on my computer hard drive! =) I suppose its mother would think it is cute!
Details: Canon 7D with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM at f4.0 with shutter speed of 1/1000 at ISO 100 and I had the white balance on manual with an exposure bias of +2/3 EV. I am actually experimenting with white balance now to see what surfaces in what light will need an increase of exposure. I am amazed to find that it is the very light in high sun that need an exposure increase but subjects in the shade, if given an exposure increase, tend to bleach out. I find this counter intuitive... I will have to study up on the matter. =)
I did most of the picture developing in Lightroom 3 and the vignetted cutout in Onone's PhotoTools using a preset (available at OnOne's website). I used CS5 only to convert from TIFF to JPG and add my copyright stuff.
i designed this wallpaper for school. the inspiration comes from an old icelandic national costume. the project was to design something for the future inspired by old icelandic crafts.
i just won an award at school yesterday for this project. it was voted the best idea. the judges were 2 girls who are graduating from the iceland academy of the arts and a former student at my school who is now a tv presenter. i got money, so i'll be shopping tomorrow!

not so successful dog class yesterday.
still taking matea weekly to classes to help her overcome her fear issues...and to improve my handling skills when around other dogs.
because her issue with other dogs is based on fear (thank you dog parks!), my trainer is trying to convince me to not come down on matea for attempting to go for a dog, but instead to work on her focus on me (which i totally have unless a dominant dog comes along) and that if an incident DOES occur that i'm to work on 'recovery' more than anything. for instance, when matea wouldn't take shit from cheryl (the trainer)'s jack russell some weeks ago and went for the little tart, cheryl simply pulled matea off, held her for three seconds by the beard, and then - in a very happy voice - said: "okay, let's play!"
at the time, i didn't feel that was enough. matea is a black and white dog. she NEEDS extreme positive AND negative for her to understand definitions and boundaries. i learned this early on in my training with her, when eight months of positive-only training got me nothing but a dog requiring constant food-lures...but when outdoors or otherwise distracted, let me tell you, a bleeding strip of sirloin ain't gonna capture her attention.
she's a wirehaired pointer. i talk to other GWP owners on a group, and i hear over and over again that these are not typical dogs, that they aren't the kind of dog most trainers are accustomed to. i'm tending to agree.
so...yesterday, i was at class, on the bench at the far side of the classroom, getting treats ready, when in comes this nitwit woman (i won't speak of race because i'll only come across as racist...but suffice it to say, she was in her own world with her own language, and was utterly oblivious to others in the class)...well, in fact, it wasn't her coming in...it was her dog hauling her in...a chow cross, i heard her say to someone else, but it looked like a chow/jindo dog...tall, muscular, 1 1/2 times matea's size, tail erect and clearly dominant. (in fact, i saw his dominance very clearly at the end of class with another dog.) he barges through the door, dragging his owner behind him, at the end of his 6' leash, making a diagonal, bee-line right for matea across the classroom. even one of the regular students (a woman who helps with a LOT of the training classes and has a lot of respect for matea) told me afterwards that she couldn't believe what was going on. AND she said that her rottie, too, perked up the second the dog blasted into class because of its attitude.
the owner - completely in her own oblivious, self-absorbed, ignorant world - didn't even seem to notice, or care, that her dog had practically charged matea and was on her ass. the most i could do was stand and try to push the dog away. i should have been more forceful. i should have said something to the woman beforehand, but i don't want to make waves in the class.
still, the dipshit didn't even notice, and the dog was dragged away only slightly because she was trying to make her way to the bench to ready herself for class. it was at that point that matea lunged. yes, i caught her in time. in fact, the rottie-handler (after class) praised me for my handling of the situation.
but here's the thing... my gut reaction is to put matea down, to make sure she knows - without a doubt - that lunging at dogs, regardless of the dog, is NOT appropriate. a three-second censure, get her attention on me, show her my disapproval, and THEN focus on recovery. but no....cheryl swoops in, all positive and happy, trying - with great difficulty - to draw matea's attention from the other dog. she'a fucking GWP!!! no WAY is ANYONE or ANYTHING getting her attention off that 'threat' in any manner. i know she's a dog...i know a lot of her character is not unique, but i've yet to find a trainer who's actually had experience with this breed and its drives. and let me tell you, it IS a drive unlike any other.
my legs were shaking, i felt like crying, and i just wanted to leave. of course, the oblivious owner quickly moved to the other side of the classroom like *I* was the only one with an out-of-control dog. and then, even as i was trying to work with matea, to regain her focus in spite of the other dog's presence, the dipshit STILL continued to ignore her dog. it sat behind her (yes, her back turned to her own dog), its leash lying on the floor, again completely oblivious. the dog would have been on top of matea before the woman ever even realized he'd broken his stay.
i'm angry. i'm disappointed. i'm seeing matea acting out more in class, not less. i need to talk to cheryl, to hopefully convince her that, in spite of her years of experience, she HASN'T seen everything, that she hasn't worked with every kind of dog....and to maybe convince her that i might just know more in regards to my GWP.
seriously, as much as i adore cesar millan, if he offered to take matea for a period of time, i wouldn't let him. i feel that although he and others are obviously FAR more experienced than i am, they don't know this kind of dog...that even though matea's never hurt another dog, most trainers would underestimate her potential to do so, they would underestimate her drive to make a point. so....i need to sit down with cheryl again, see if anything can be done. in the meantime, i hold back my tears and love this dog in spite of the dangerous potential i know lies within her.
oh, and i also intend to discuss with cheryl that she consider addressing her students (current and future) on the proper way to bring dogs into any facility....pack leader first, goddammit. of the dogs that matea has had issue with, they're ALL the ones who drag their owners through the front door.
sorry for the dump. i guess the thing that sucks the most about this is that if not for this dog-issue of matea's, in spite of my fantastic imagination, i could NOT imagine a more perfect dog and best friend.
act on your impulse, swallow the bottle, cut a little deeper, put the gun to your chest.
i've been sitting around my house doing nothing for hours. i don't know why but i felt so tight inside, and i told my mom i was going out to take some photos just because. and the strange thing is, i felt so good just going out here and taking some shots. it really made me feel open. maybe that's what photography is supposed to do.
i took this for me. i don't know how you feel about it, but i love it.
and just because i love doing this, and getting these here is the form. i wanna know what you have to say.

This is a pic I took last year of a work some friends and I made at one of ours university assingments... the idea was to preserve the image and colours of sushi but change completely his flavour ... so, we made sweet sushi of different kinds of candy available in our country.... =)
Esta foto la tome el año pasado, es de uno de los trabajos que nos dieron como tarea de uno de nuestros cursos universitarios... la idea era preservar la imagen y el color del sushi pero cambiar completamente su sabor... asi que hicimos sushi dulce, hecho a partir de distintas golosinas disponibles en nuestro pais... =)
Saludos!

Today I spent the entire day with my Mommy, sister, and Grandma. We headed over to Naples and went to the zoo early because B103.9 gave everyone that came between 8-10 free admission. $80 saved, BOO-YAH! Anyways, once we left there, we went shopshopshopping. I got a ring, a necklace, and two band T-Shirts for Paramore and for Lady Gaga. Afterwards we were all tired and hungry, so we went to The Cheesecake Factory, got a table outside and ate. Wow, it was superduper good. So then we were gonna go home, but we got lost and accidentally went to the beach. We spend maybe an hour there. We just rolled up our jeans and watched the waves break and birds chill and we were happy. So then we washed off our feet, got back in the car and went to Ft. Myers. Yet again, we shopped. We went to Home Depot to look at ply-wood, fences, and lawn furniture and left with nothing. XD Then we hit up staples and bought some paper. Last but not least, we stopped at Ross and I bought 2 beach dresses and a pair of headphones. On the way home we bought Sushi at Publix because my sister can't pass there without wanting some. In the same plaza was a frozen yogurt place so we were like "Okay, lets get some." We go inside, get our yogurt and toppings and the freaking bill was $18! That was only for two. I was like wowwwwww, I'm never gonna stop there again. Haha, so yeah, it was a long and amazing day.♥
