Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Foto museum, Chris Killip exhibition (uncut)
Christopher David Killip (1946 – 2020) was a Manx documentary photographer who also worked at Harvard University from 1991 to 2017, as a Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies.
He was influenced by HCB (Henry Cartier Bresson) and is known for his dramatic black-and-white images of people and (post-) industrial places, especially of Tyneside during the 80s, the austere Thatcherian era - the dark times of economic recession, mass unemployment, miner strikes and other civil unrest.
The 80s were also the years of new wave music. Some of Killip’s images made me remember the cover of the pivotal ’ Searching for the Young Soul Rebels’ album (Dexy’s Midnight Runners). They also evocated Elvis Costello's (Declan McManus) Oliver Army’s lyrics in which he states that the only future for ‘the boys of the Mersey, the Thames and the Tyne’ lies in joining the (mercenary) army.
I dunno if Killip ever photographed in Northern Ireland, but throughout the visit, I had the nasal/hoarse, kinda snarly voice of Feargal Sharkey of the Undertones playing in my head. Check out The Undertones - When Saturday Comes.
Shot on an enjoyable and informative museum visit with Hendrik van Leeuwen.
This is number 305 of the Museum album.
Pondered long enough to purchase this minifigure... After I bought him, the seller lowered the price! So annoying, felt angry that I could have gotten a better deal. Not the first time the BL seller did that, and it really frustrates me a lot... : (

AO MESTRE COM CARINHO/TEACHERS WITH AFFECTION!
Queridos Mestres!
Obrigada por fazerem do aprendizado não um trabalho, mas um contentamento...
Por fazerem com que nos sentíssemos pessoas de valor; por nos ajudarem a descobrir o que fazer de melhor e, assim, fazê-lo cada vez melhor. Obrigado por afastarem o medo das coisas que pudéssemos não compreender; levando-nos, por fim, a compreendê-las...
Por resolverem o que achávamos complicados...
Por serem pessoas dignas de nossa total confiança e a quem podemos recorrer quando a vida se mostrar difícil...
Obrigado por nos convencerem de que éramos melhores do que suspeitávamos.
Eu serei sempre sua fã na escola da vida.
Obrigada, professor!
O Dia do Professor é comemorado no dia 15 de outubro. Mas poucos sabem como e quando surgiu este costume no Brasil.
No dia 15 de outubro de 1827 (dia consagrado à educadora Santa Tereza D’Ávila), D. Pedro I baixou um Decreto Imperial que criou o Ensino Elementar no Brasil. Pelo decreto, “todas as cidades, vilas e lugarejos tivessem suas escolas de primeiras letras”. Esse decreto falava de bastante coisa: descentralização do ensino, o salário dos professores, as matérias básicas que todos os alunos deveriam aprender e até como os professores deveriam ser contratados. A idéia, inovadora e revolucionária, teria sido ótima - caso tivesse sido cumprida.
Mas foi somente em 1947, 120 anos após o referido decreto, que ocorreu a primeira comemoração de um dia dedicado ao Professor.
Começou em São Paulo, em uma pequena escola no número 1520 da Rua Augusta, onde existia o Ginásio Caetano de Campos, conhecido como “Caetaninho”. O longo período letivo do segundo semestre ia de 01 de junho a 15 de dezembro, com apenas 10 dias de férias em todo este período. Quatro professores tiveram a idéia de organizar um dia de parada para se evitar a estafa – e também de congraçamento e análise de rumos para o restante do ano.
O professor Salomão Becker sugeriu que o encontro se desse no dia de 15 de outubro, data em que, na sua cidade natal, professores e alunos traziam doces de casa para uma pequena confraternização. Com os professores Alfredo Gomes, Antônio Pereira e Claudino Busko, a idéia estava lançada, para depois crescer e implantar-se por todo o Brasil.
A celebração, que se mostrou um sucesso, espalhou-se pela cidade e pelo país nos anos seguintes, até ser oficializada nacionalmente como feriado escolar pelo Decreto Federal 52.682, de 14 de outubro de 1963. O Decreto definia a essência e razão do feriado: "Para comemorar condignamente o Dia do Professor, os estabelecimentos de ensino farão promover solenidades, em que se enalteça a função do mestre na sociedade moderna, fazendo participar os alunos e as famílias".

I could write a book about the 40 minutes that lead up to this instant. Oh, and by the way, that fin on the left is not its tail, it's the dorsal fin. There is a whole lot of fish still underwater.
Fish was released seconds after some basic processing for biological data.

The Harry Potter CMF Series 2 has some great minifigs, with some even better accessories. Professor Pomona Sprout is not one of those.
The figure itself is a nice update on the 2011 minifig, but the Screaming Mandrake she's holding, is not the one she is packaged with. (It's the one from the last series that came with Neville; Who's getting a catch-up lesson today, because Pomona is an awesome teacher like that)
Instead, the Pomona minifig includes a printed 1x1 round brick, two of the green plant stems, and whilst she has a wand, she doesn't have a handle for her cauldron.
As AFOLs, we've come to expect a lot from the CMF minifigures, so those little omissions count for a lot. It means this is one for completionists only.
Because for the Hogwarts fans,
with the ever expanding range of Hogwarts classrooms, it's only a matter of time till we get a Herbology Classroom, and an updated Professor Pomona, which means it might be worth holding on.
The Colorado River runs through Professor Valley on its way to Moab. From the bank of the Colorado, the view to the south and east, across Professor Valley, shows immense buttes stepping up the the peaks of the La Sal Mountains, above 12,000 feet.
Professor Valley is just outside of Moab, Utah. The Colorado River cuts through the red rock to form this beautiful canyon. Several campgrounds are located along this part of the river and we camped at one of them for 6 nights while we explored the national parks nearby, ie. Arches and Canyonlands.
Run by water and solar power, this is the 2nd Trash Wheel put into service in Baltimore (there are three now.) She collects trash that flows into the harbor from the Harris Creek.
I spent a morning picking through trash picked up by one of these machines. The amount and variety of crap they gather is amazing and depressing.

"The professor's experimentation finally payed off, when his clones came to life after he infused them with the meteorite extract he obtained from the island. Even though their fleshy lifespan was short, they where obedient and destructive. Soon the unstoppable clone army ravaged the lands..."
This was a long overdue project I fiannly finished. I shot Coen in summer 2012 and have been working on this image ever since, cutting out poses and compositing them. I started with a square composite, and it just didn't sit right, nothing I did made the composition better. Then I decided to stretch the image to a wide version and everything fell into place. This will be part of my superhero/villains series I'm building

Sieht er nicht aus wie ein alter zerstreuter Professor? :-D
(Doesn't he look like an old absent-minded professor?) :-D

Predominantly ground feeding.
I rarely ever build stylized characters, but when sorting my minifig parts I was wondering what I could use diving helmets for and this is the result:
