Tomi Ungerer was the artist / illustrator which was invited in our libray for its inauguration.
Une citation de lui que j'adore et trouve salvatrice:

Sous couvert de provocation, Tomi Ungerer pose bien l’enjeu de la fiction :
offrir une surface de projection pour des émotions qui existent, que nos enfants connaissent ou connaitront, quoi qu’on fasse, pour qu’ils apprennent à s’y confronter et à les maîtriser.

Under the guise of provocation, Tomi Ungerer puts the stakes of fiction well:
To offer a projection surface for emotions that exist, that our children know or will know, whatever we do, so that they learn to confront and control them.

We inaugurate too an exposition around him:
One of my first i help to build.
I was /am proud to meet this great human and share many time with it, because i was his driver to the travel to his Paris's Hostel and our library each morning / night.
He stay with us one week, full time!.
Funny time, when we lived a big story in our establishment.
Big thanks to my passionate Dominique Tabah (my "Chief"), which make all these events possible.
For Bald Eagle lovers, Haines is nothing short of paradise. It’s a chilly, remote paradise, but paradise, nonetheless. At almost any given time you can drive out of town, stop along the road, and pick out dozens of these symbolic birds of prey in the surrounding trees. In the east, they still seem fairly timid, flying off with the least provocation. In Haines, the birds seem more resolute. They are much more approachable. Who knows, perhaps they’re just too darned cold to fly away, but I think not. There is something about Haines and its eagles that are special. Despite the journey and the cold it is a place I long to return to. #BaldEagles

Musth or must /ˈmʌst/ is a periodic condition in bull (male) elephants, characterized by highly aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones. Testosterone levels in an elephant in musth can be as much as 60 times greater than in the same elephant at other times. However, whether this hormonal surge is the sole cause of musth, or merely a contributing factor, is unknown; scientific investigation of musth is problematic because even the most placid elephants become highly violent toward humans and other elephants during musth, requiring segregation and isolation until they recover. Female elephants do not undergo musth.
Often, elephants in musth discharge a thick tar-like secretion called temporin from the temporal ducts on the sides of the head. Temporin contains proteins, lipids (notably cholesterol), phenol and 4-methyl phenol,[2][3] cresols and sesquiterpenes (notably farnesol and its derivatives).[4] Secretions and urine collected from zoo elephants have been shown to contain elevated levels of various highly odorous ketones and aldehydes. The elephant's aggression may be partially caused by a reaction to the temporin, which naturally trickles down into the elephant's mouth. Another contributing factor may be the accompanying swelling of the temporal glands; this presses on the elephant's eyes and causes acute pain comparable to severe root abscess toothache. Elephants sometimes try to counteract this pain by digging their tusks into the ground.
Musth is linked to sexual arousal or establishing dominance, but this relationship is far from clear. Cases of elephants goring and killing rhinoceroses without provocation in national parks in Africa have been documented and attributed to musth in young male elephants, especially those growing in the absence of older males. Studies show that reintroducing older males into the elephant population of the area seems to prevent younger males from entering musth, and therefore, stop this aggressive behavior.
Admittedly, the GBH is one of my favorite birds to photograph (as a fairly new photographer, I started with big birds and, well, I'm working my way down---just can't resist a good Great Blue Heron shot, though). Great subjects, as they can remain perfectly still for long stretches of time (but they will fly off at the slightest provocation).

Compared to previous years this has been a strange and limited year for me geographically.
To begin with the immediately concrete, I’ve hardly gone outside in the past week and a half, thanks to an extended episode of my right foot being stiff and swollen from gout. This time it struck without warning or provocation, unlike the previous time earlier this year, which you can see foreshadowed on the map as a day of biking around exploring West Oakland and then to Berkeley. The next day I could barely walk, and I haven’t dared to ride a bike in months.
My daily routine has been dominated all year by getting between home and MacArthur or Rockridge BART stations and between Civic Center BART and the Mapbox office on 9th Street. There are also many short walks from 16th Street BART for the Friday morning ritual of geobreakfast, and some longer ones taking advantage of some extra time in the morning to walk between 16th Street and Castro or Church stations instead of going straight to work. Another couple of early mornings I went to Glen Park and Noe Valley just to count pedestrians.
The long straight lines in the Oakland Hills are GPS tracks from airplanes. The rules changed and now you can use a GPS receiver during takeoff and landing, but it’s still hard to get a good signal. The trips were to Boston, to speak at the OpenVis conference (and then from there to Maryland to visit Steph’s family), and to Minneapolis, to speak at Eyeo Festival. Not visible on the map are two trips to visit my parents in southern California.
Locally, I talked at the Macro City conference at the Brava Theater, at Swissnex on Montgomery, at the National Association of City Transportation Officials at SPUR, and to a cartography class at San Francisco State, gave lunch talks at SFMTA and Gehl Architects, and was in SPUR’s Urban Cartography exhibit.
One Saturday I took the F Market around the Embarcadero to go to the library book sale at Fort Mason and came away with seven bound volumes of the Armed Forces Song Folio, monthly compilations of popular sheet music issued by the military in the 1940s and 50s. By systematically working through them, I’ve finally become a competent “fake book” pianist, able to play songs I’ve never heard before from the written melody and chords, although playing full standard piano arrangements is still beyond me.
I think the only new infrastructure reflected here is trying out BART’s Oakland Airport Connector on its opening day.

MoStreet art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheatpasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.
The terms "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts.[1] Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure vandalism.
Street art is often motivated by a preference on the part of the artist to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world.[2] Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation".[3]
Street artists often travel between countries to spread their designs. Some artists have gained cult-followings, media and art world attention, and have gone on to work commercially in the styles which made their work known on the streets.ntréal, Québec...
