Happy Windmill Wednesday
I went over to Boerne, Texas last week. It's pronounced burnie. Ya, I don't know why. It's a fast growing, use to be little town in the Texas hill country.
Boerne was named in honor of German author and publicist Ludwig Börne. The population of Boerne was 10,471 at the 2010 census, and in 2018 the estimated population was 17,106.
Previously, this was friends only but now I have permission from the publicist to include in this set. Yay. Thanks for all of your love and support!
I wish for peace all over the world!
Silence is not just the absence of noise.
Rather, silence is also the contemplation of oneself.

This is one of our native mantis species, making a meal of an introduced species-- a european honeybee. Mantids have excellent publicists and have gained a reputation of being extremely beneficial insects, while the reality is that they are voraciously indiscriminate and are as likely to eat another "good" bug as they are to eat a pest, perhaps more so. All the same, I'm in the habit of leaving the native mantises alone, although I will dispose of the chinese mantises which are larger and have been documented dining on hummingbirds and other small birds. The flower is white crownbeard (frostweed), and the location here is Forest Park in St Louis, Missouri

If you were between 15 and 30 that year, it was almost impossible to resist the lure of that transcendent, peer-driven season of glamour, ecstasy, and Utopianism. It was billed as the Summer of Love, and its creators did not employ a single publicist or craft a media plan. Yet the phenomenon washed over America like a tidal wave, erasing the last dregs of the martini-sipping Mad Men era and ushering in a series of liberations and awakenings that irreversibly changed our way of life.
The inscription on the monument "If I will forget Them, You, God in heaven, forget about me."- Adam Bernard Mickiewicz ( 24 December 1798 – 26 November 1855) Polish poet, dramatist, essayist, publicist, translator, professor of Slavic literature, and political activist.
The Volhynian, massacres, were anti-Polish genocidal ethnic cleansings conducted by Ukrainian nationalists.
The massacres took place within Poland’s borders as of the outbreak of WWII, and not only in Volhynia, but also in other areas with a mixed Polish-Ukrainian population, especially the Lvov, Tarnopol, and Stanisławów voivodeships (that is, in Eastern Galicia), as well as in some voivodeships bordering on Volhynia (the western part of the Lublin Voivodeship and the northern part of the Polesie Voivodeship. The time frame of these massacres was 1943-1945. The perpetrators were the Organization
of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera faction (OUN-B) and its military wing,
called the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).
Their documents show that the planned extermination of the Polish population was called an “anti-Polish operation.”
Criminal Investigations
Genocide is a legal category. The Volhynian massacres have all the traits of genocide listed in the 1948
UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which defines genocide
as an act “committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,
as such.” In Polish academia the Volhynian massacres are referred to as genocidal ethnic cleansings,
the Volhynian (or Volhynian-Galician) slaughter, or, in legal terminology, the crime of genocide.
Polish historians are emphasizing that the Volhynian bloodbath is the uncleared crime of genocide still, and praise of Stepan Bandera and members murderous party of OUN-UPA by the current Ukrainian authorities.
Der Trauerschwan ist das Wappentier Westaustraliens und dort auch in der Flagge dargestellt. Mittlerweile kommt er in allen Bundesstaaten Australiens vor, auf dem Festland wie auch in Tasmanien.
Die ersten Trauerschwäne wurden 1791 in Großbritannien und wenig später auch in Frankreich eingeführt.
Der Schwarze Schwan: Die Macht höchst unwahrscheinlicher Ereignisse ist ein Buch des Publizisten und Börsenhändlers Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Nach Taleb bezeichnet ein „Schwarzer Schwan“ ein Ereignis, das selten und höchst unwahrscheinlich ist und ist heute meine Buchempfehlung.
The mute swan is the heraldic animal of Western Australia and is also represented there in the flag. It is now found in all states of Australia, on the mainland as well as in Tasmania.
The first mourning swans were introduced in Great Britain in 1791 and a little later in France.
The Black Swan: The Power of Highly Unlikely Events is a book by publicist and exchange trader Nassim Nicholas Taleb. According to Taleb, a “black swan” denotes an event that is rare and highly unlikely and is my book recommendation today.
The Hertefeld Castle estate, consisting of a castle ruin and attached park, stands in the town of Weeze in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was established in the fourteenth century.
The castle was first mentioned as a knight's seat in 1322. However, it appears that a family of this name lived nearby for significantly longer, since a man named Theodoricus de Hertevenlde was first mentioned in 1179.
In the fourteenth century the castle was the center of an independent domain. However, this independence disappeared in the following years de to increasing subservience to the dukedom of Cleves. In 1322, the domain excluding the castle was sold in 1322 by Wilhelm von Herteveld to Graf Dietrich VII of Cleves. Three years later, the castle too entered the ownership of Cleves. However, the castle was later returned to the Herteveld family in the person of Stephan II von Herteveld, but now as a loan from the house of Cleves.
Following the death of the count Stephan IV in 1485, the family was divided via his two sons into two branches. With the senior branch acquiring through marriage the castle of Kolk in Uedam, Hertefeld castle passed to the junior branch under count Heinrich. This branch later died out in the direct line with Elbert von und zu Hertefeld, who however transferred the estate to his stepbrother Elbert von Steenhaus. Facing financial difficulties, Elbert in turn passed it to his relative Jobst Gerhard von Hertefeld, thereby reunifying the property of the two branches. The hartefeld properties had by this time become quite extensive, incorporating not just Uedam and Weeze but also Boetzelaer castle, Hoennepel, Kervenheim and Zelhem (today part of Bronckhorst).
Jobst Gerhard's father had previously through his good relations with the Duke of Brandenburg, Friedrich Wilhelm, inherited the property of Liebenberg in Brandenburg, which he later made the principle residence of his family. His grandson, Samuel von und zu Hertefeld, was raised to the rank of Freiherr by Friedrich I of Prussia, who frequently lodged at Hertefeld castle during his tours of inspection along the lower Rhine. Another prominent guest was Tsar Alexander I of Russia.
The male line of the family died out in 1867 with Karl von Hertefeld, whose grandniece Alexandrine inherited the property. Since she was married to Philipp Konrad zu Eulenburg, Hertefeld became incorporated into his family property. Alexandrine's son Philipp zu Eulenburg became a personal friend of Wilhelm II, who raised him in 1900 to the rank of Furst. Since the family had also acquired the title of Graf from the king of Sweden, he and his successors were henceforth able to style themselves "Fürst zu Eulenburg und Hertefeld, Graf von Sandels". Philipp himself became notorious only a few years later as a result of the Harden-Eulenburg-Affäre, in which he became a target of the influential publicist Maximilian Harden. In several court cases, he defended himself against allegations of homosexuality without being convicted.
Alexandrines second, Botho Sigwart, became the first family member for some time to make Hertefeld his long-term residence. His opera "Songs of Euripides", which premiered in 1915 at the royal Staatstheater Stuttgart. The principal line of the family returned to Hertefeld at the end of the Second World War, after their principal residence at Liebenburg was confiscated by the East German government.

Happy Bench Monday!
Krišjānis Valdemārs (1825-1891) – the founder of the Young Latvian movement, publicist and politician, as well as the founder of the first Latvian maritime school.
The bronze statue of K. Valdemārs is life-size and concrete, placed on a cast-iron bench in the old town of Ventspils on the river bank next to the Freeport administration building overlooking the sea. The other place on the bench is left free, as if inviting the hurrying passerby to sit next to him for a while and think. The inscription on the monument, just like a century and a half ago at the Terbata University School, states succinctly and boldly: «Krishjanis Valdemārs, Latvian».
The monument is located on the Venta Embankment next to the Livonian Order Castle. It ‘is observing’ the Ventspils harbour working and every boat passing through the channel on her way to the Ventspils port. This is a famous picture-taking place among the guests of the city.

Cold beverages in the Vermont Country Store, Weston, VT
From the who would have thunk file:
Although The Vermont Country Store was first opened in 1946 in Weston, Vermont, by Vrest and Mildred Ellen Orton, its origins lie in the Orton family's long Vermont history. In 1897, Gardner Lyman Orton, the eighth generation of Ortons in the United States, opened a general store with his father-in-law Melvin Teachout in Calais, Vermont. Gardner's wife Leila gave birth to their eldest son Vrest that same year. The Teachout-Orton general store was the focal point of Vrest's early years and served as the original inspiration for The Vermont Country Store.
After serving in World War I, in France, Vrest entered the class of 1923 at Harvard. He served briefly in the U.S. Consular Service before moving to New York City in 1925. There he was on the staff of H.L. Mencken’s American Mercury, Alfred Knopf publishers, the Saturday Review of Literature, Life magazine, and in 1929 founded the international book collector’s magazine, The Colophon. During this time, Vrest became known as an authority on typography and book collecting and published many articles about various American writers. Vrest returned to Vermont in 1930 and settled in the village of Weston. He married Mildred Ellen Wilcox in 1936 and founded a book publishing company, The Countryman Press, the same year.
The interior of the store, 1946
During World War II Vrest worked at the Pentagon as a speechwriter and publicist. There he hatched the idea of creating a catalog and store based on the Teachout-Orton store.
In the fall of 1945, Vrest and Mildred officially entered the mail-order business with a catalog, "The Voice of the Mountains". Vrest printed the catalog, consisting of 12 pages and 36 items, on the printing press in his garage, and Mildred mailed it to her family Christmas card list. Riding on the success of that first catalog, Vrest and Mildred purchased a two-story structure in Weston, built in 1827, that had originally been a country inn and opened The Vermont Country Store in the spring of 1946. The Weston store has the distinction of being America's first restored and fully operational country store and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

When I used to do concert photography more regularly, it seemed so easy for me to bike way across the city, shoot shows without payment and do this multiple times per week sacrificing sleep just to get the photos in earlier and then going to a very demanding day job. This was one such night...I believe it was a Tues. I biked in pouring rain 8 miles each way to photograph The Yeah Yeah Yeahs at The Aragon Ballroom and then biked all the way to The Empty Bottle to photograph the Norwegian band I Was a King and then came home and edited photos all night and went to work the next day. I should also mention that, on this particularly night, I vividly recall how I got THREE flat bike tires throughout the bicycling which made this almost beautiful tragic quality to the evening.
Anyway, I digress...this is some more rambling because I often get younger hipper people asking me "Oh my God! How did you get that photopass!" And then I tell them that I've invested $25,000+ of my own money which I will never recoup, sacrifice all my own sleep, time, and energy, and half the time have publicists either blank out or make me sign a photo contract and I slowly see all the envy fade from their eyes. The highs are high but the lows are way too low.

Continuing yesterday's theme. Their music has been called country blues and while it may not fall into your comfort zone I think you can easily respect their passion and energy.
I was fortunate to shoot this show in the daytime and to have such close access. There were a lot of other people but I was the only one with a large camera and people didn't crowd me so close. They must have thought I was a publicist or a journalist.

481 007-9, CFR Călători, îndrumată în serviciu comercial cu trenul InterCity 532 în relația Cluj Napoca - București Nord (plus grupa de Arad care a circulat cu numărul 522 până la Teiuș).
Cu ocazia zilei naționale a României trenul a purtat numele politicianului și publicistului Vasile Goldiș, considerat de către Octavia Goga "Părinte al Patriei".
La 1 Decembrie 1918 acesta a rostit la Marea Adunare Națională de la Alba Iulia Rezoluția Istorica sau Rezoluția Unirii care arăta necesitatea unirii Transilvaniei cu România.
În ceea ce privește lucrările de modernizare ale magistralei feroviare 300 între Brașov și Sighișoara constatăm cu amărăciune că progresele sunt extrem de mici.
481 007-9, CFR Călători, was assigned to commercial service hauling InterCity train 532 on the Cluj-Napoca – București Nord route (together with the Arad consist, which operated as train 522 up to Teiuș).
On the occasion of Romania’s National Day, the train carried the honorary name of politician and publicist Vasile Goldiș, regarded by Octavian Goga as a “Father of the Nation.”
On 1 December 1918, during the Great National Assembly at Alba Iulia, he delivered the Historic Resolution, also known as the Union Resolution, which stated the necessity of unifying Transylvania with Romania.
As for the modernization works on Main Line 300 between Brașov and Sighișoara, we note with regret that progress remains extremely limited.

View On Black
I talk about Nick Brandt all the time. So much so that at times I must seem like his publicist. But I have to mention him again today. When I saw 'On this Earth' all those years ago I was blown away, while 'A Shadow Falls' moved me to tears. So powerful was the imagery that everything else was bland in comparison for quite some time.
So it's only natural for me to try and pay homage to the guy who inspired me to pick up the camera and set off into the wilderness. This photograph at Ol Tukai is probably one of my personal favourites of all times. I have talked about the 'moment' when everything falls into place many times; the subject, the light, the sky. This is what I meant. This moment was as perfect as a moment can get.
Interestingly it also captures the resilience of these majestic creatures. No matter what is thrown at them, they keep marching. As a herd. Together.
Hopefully they will march in our wildernesses forever.

Sciurus carolinensis
Eastern grey squirrels Sciurus carolinensis commonly occur in two colour phases, grey and black, which leads people to think—mistakenly—that there are two different species. Black is often the dominant colour in Ontario and Quebec, toward the northern limits of the species’ range. Farther south the black phase is less common and is not found at all in the southern United States. This may indicate that the gene responsible for black coloration has some cold-weather adaptation associated with it.
Bright, a town in north-east Victoria, is situated in the Ovens Valley and is part of the Alpine Region of Victoria. 210 kilometres from Melbourne, Bright was one of the towns in the Ovens Valley where gold was discovered. Gold was found near the junction of Morses Creek and the Ovens River in the 1850s. Established in 1862 and named Bright, most likely after John Bright (1811 - 1889) an English publicist, reformer and parliamentarian the township thrived. With the Gold Rush in full swing, Bright soon had Catholic, Wesleyan and Presbyterian churches, schools, three hotels, three quartz mills and two bank branches. As the yield of gold declined in the 1870s, so too did Bright’s population, yet by the 1880s, it became an alpine tourism town. The Bright Alpine club was formed in 1887 and a community library was started there in 1889. In the following year Bright was connected by railway to Myrtleford and Wangaratta, bringing with it much needed tourists from Melbourne. In 1910 a grand chalet was opened at Mount Buffalo and Bright ran a hire car service for visitors, who often stayed there overnight at a hotel or guesthouse. In 1919 a secondary school was opened in Bright. It also had a tourist progress association and local angling, bowling, racing, tennis and golf clubs amongst its many attractions. By the mid 1920s the people of Bright began planting exotic trees partly for landscape improvement and partly to lay the summer dust. The street tree plantings produced extraordinary autumn colours. By 1933, Bright was described as the “Tourism Capital of the Ovens Valley”. Bright’s train line continued until 1983 when it was finally discontinued and replaced with coaches. By that time, it was a well established tourism town with people flocking there all throughout the year for different reasons. Bright is a base for exploring the peaks of Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park as well as Mount Hotham, a popular ski resort. Bright is a starting point for the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, a hiking and cycling path. Bright Museum, in the town’s former train station, documents rail and gold rush history. The region is also known for wineries and of course its amazing display of autumnal foliage.
I chose this photo cause its starting to feel like people are looking in !! and im not sure what their looking at I think they look past me and go right into the mirror to see what that side of my life looks like.
I guess its cool in a way but its weird also im just me !! ive been fucked up me my whole life and now people are interested in my story and in my photos and its AMAZING but so bizarre!!!!
I met with the publicist today at a coffee place in town which was so weird ! when the bill came which is my worst part always!! She immediately said on me! Which was very nice… (I only had juice anyway ) she said some wonderful things and was talking about some amazing connections shes gonna try do for me I need her for the rest of my life to promote my work ! fuck but she probably costs allot of money. Anyway as we were ending the meeting and saying great and wow and thanks I didn’t know what to do with my self cause she was till sitting and I thought I'd wait to get up with her and then she said " im gonna stay here for a bit" so I thought oh shit!! How embarrassing !!!!!!!!!! it took all my confidence !! I was gonna go to the framing place to show them the paper I've printed on to make sure it sticks and to see the place and I just couldn’t go in ! all my anxiety came flooding in !! and I couldn’t cope all of a sudden. My mom sais its funny I can show my nude photos but I can't be in a restaurant without freaking out ! I guess that’s what people will always ask me …and that’s what people will never understand hu…

I couldn’t fall asleep last night it was worry and excitement at the same time about printing that kept me up then at 4 I remembered I forgot to work on a photo I needed to re do so I got up and did that and then went back to bed I think I slept for 2 hours only and then got up traffic was just terrible! Got there early so I sat on the stairs outside waiting which was fine it gave me time to relax abit after the hot drive with no air conditioning.
His assistant showed up (the one that was looking at my work all the time last time I was there ) so he opened up and started working on the photos with me until the Ruven came. Which was cool we talked abit he gives personal photoshop lessons!! That’s good to know… he gave me his card afterwards and said he'd love to come to the exhibition which was really cool!( Hes French!! What an accent! :P )
anyway… there was big problems with the printing the paper was fucked and it all came out with dots on it so we tested another roll which was not the same paper and it came out so yellow… so he had to order a new roll and it will arrive tomorrow and I have to go back there tomorrow…
But we did do a test with one photo in its real size almost one meter! As it was coming out of the plotter I think I started to panic! have you ever seen yourself that big???? Lets just say its very creepy!! I started panicking and I told him I want everything only 60 cm !! he showed me 60 It is so small and he said its fine its looks good and its allright!! I left there after 4 hours! Feeling very very weird about everything! I really wanted to call someone and let them know what happened and whats going on and I didn’t have anyone I could call … you know… I came home and I cried…I do that allot … but its getting so scary…
The publicist called me while I was there we're meeting on Tuesday!! So exiting. I hope she can help with publishing and advertising it allot more… even thought now it's even scarier!!
So anyway after I came home I was so busy with so many things I'm not use to being busy its good but I also feel abit frustrated for some reason.
And then I was tested again with some personal stuff that came up ... it's not fun… I know I'll be ok fuck I'll be better than ok … but right now it's not fun.
The excitement is fun but the anxiety and stress are not! My back is really giving me shit now with all the tension! I've had back problems ever since I was a photographer assistant almost had a disk move out of place and ever since then it comes and goes… so now with all this tension its really bad I can't exercise at all and I just feel so fat and blllaaahhhh

Saturday Taylor Lautner went to dinner and a movie with Selena Gomez, young love in bloom.
Sunday he and his dad hooked up for a friendly lunch with a girl he used to work with back in the Nickelodeon days. Vancouver is a major production hotspot right now! The girl was accompanied by her mother who is also her publicist. Needless to say, mom/publicist was hoping she could hitch a ride onto Taylor who now, as you know, has earned a very high profile.
This is why the four of them were walking around downtown that afternoon trying to attract attention, practically flailing their arms around until the paps were notified. And so they came. And then Taylor’s dad and no-name girl’s mom (what’s she called? no clue, don’t care) tried to get out of the way to encourage the two being shot together.
Don’t worry about drama. There is no drama. Selena is a Disney child. She knows the business, she understands how this business works. Taylor is learning too.
Because the next day, Monday, as soon as his photos with Selena dropped and made a huge splash, suddenly he was all camera shy. Not 24 hours before, he was walking around downtown Vancouver, happily promoting a friend (this girl has the makings of a new Shelfy Biel, non?) and the next day his dad and trainer are all pap-phobic and escaping.
They grow up so fast…
As for what’s happening on set of New Moon today – continuing to shoot break up and Bella losing it and some scenes with Bella and Jacob in her room. Tomorrow, it’s a movie theatre and an Edward apparition and a motorcycle or something.

Robert Pattinson on the streets of NYC on June 11 after partying all night.
Around 11:15pm on Wednesday night, Robert and a group of pals, including good friend, actor Tom Sturridge, his Twilight mom Elizabeth Reaser and actress Eva Mendes, were all enjoying themselves at NYC's Bowery Bar, throwing back a few Peroni beers and nibbling on pizza between trips outside to enjoy an occasional smoke. These four were also joined by three others, a blonde woman and two guy friends.
Despite partying with the sexy Twilight star, one witness tells OK! that Eva appeared to have her eyes set on Sturridge. "They were chatting non-stop and laughing the whole time," says the source.
Rob, dressed in a black hoodie and matching hat, got up from his table on the bar's patio several times to take some phone calls. According to another partier, he spent a good deal of the night chatting with Elizabeth, who celebrates her 34th birthday on June 15.
One insider at the bar overheard Rob joking to the blonde woman in their group that having a British accent gets you points with American girls — yeah, because being the super-hot star of a wildly popular movie franchise doesn't get you anywhere...
Just before 1am, it was time for Eva to make her exit. "She hugged and kissed everyone goodbye and left," says one bargoer.
The rest of the group lingered for another 30 minutes, finally leaving around 1:30am.
"As they were walking out, the girls were joking that they'll pretend to be Rob's publicist if people were outside," one insider tells OK!.
Lucky for him, there was only one photographer waiting outside, so he was able to slip into a cab by himself without having to fight off a throng of paparazzi.

This talentless person always activated the involuntary gag reflex whenever she showed up at an event. Turning a normal evening of photojournalistic image gathering into a hyperbolic twister of realtime nightmare proportions.
Arriving late to an event with six 280 pound goonlike bodyguards and a publicist from Dantes Inferno. I would face the darkest night in my soul attempting to make a photo of Ms. It. (I think she is wearing Jean-Paul Gaultier)
Another shot (well...you just knew I took more than one, right?) of two amazing performers from Cirque du Soleil's show 'Quidam' at the SECC in Glasgow last night. You can see the show at the SECC until Sunday.
This was taken from quite a way back (in the area allocated to the media, with my 70-300mm lens, ISO 3200 and 1/25 sec exposure (I hedged my bets a little on exposure speeds...really wanted some good shots of this!), hand-held.
As I said yesterday, I owe a significant vote of thanks to Alex Hewitt from The Scotsman for arranging my photo pass...and also to Marie-Josée Gagnon (the Publicist for Cirque du Soleil) for looking after us at the SECC.
You can see another shot of this couple, here:
Originally, I was going to entitle this one A Wrinkle in Time after one of my favorite Madeliene L'Engle books that I read as a kid. that was way before the days of Harry Potter.
I receive quite a few requests from bands and publicists to check out their music and I just happened to be able to check this band's music out when they reached out to me by email this weekend. It's really beautiful stuff and I was trying to think of a photograph that might work and really liked the grooves of this.
The band is orchestral and has notes of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Dirty Three, Sigur Rós, and Rachel's:
waverclamorbellow.bandcamp.com
It's the perfect soundtrack to the winter and able to illustrate what I feel inside of me these days every day. It makes me happy when music can do that for me.
Wavor Clamor Bellow are from Portland, Oregon but this photo was taken in Chicago recently as part of the Chicago as a Vinyl Record project I started. The man was seen from outside my living room window in the midst of heavy snow walking his dog. The grooves are from a multiple exposure incorporating the actual sleeve of a very old Rolling Stones record I have.

Sometimes you have to laugh or you'll cry. Only a couple of hours before Robyn was supposed to go on, the photographers received an email notifying us that we would have to be at the media tent to be led into the photopit in groups of 20 and would not be allowed to shoot from the center so we'd have to choose a side. We were told that she would only allow photographs 47 minutes into her set and only one song each.
Now, anyone who has any common sense knows that when there's like 100 photographers and 20 per 3 songs, that means 60 photographers, which means you better be getting in line to be photographing Robyn early or you'll be left out. There goes getting home early and photoediting!
So, I like to think that photographers who shoot concerts are well meaning and wonderful people. In fact, I am friends with some concert photographers who are. But, at our very base level of human selves, apparently it's all a bunch of post-Darwinistic survival of the fittest devotees who couldn't care less that I had sacrificed getting food, going to the bathroom, and shooting most of Snail Mail and the special guest for Charli XCX from the crowd.
I found myself having to say, "But I was seventh in line, guys!" when a bunch of photographers at the last minute jumped to the front of the line and heightened my anxiety about life whilst simultaneously diminishing my general idea of how great other concert photographers can be in a world much too uncivil to begin with.
I digress and I still haven't caught up on my sleep so bear with me. Let's get back to the timing...47 minutes into her set. Not 46 minutes and 48 minutes was right out the window. If you get there at 44 minutes, you might as well just jump in a shark tank. 49 minutes? Please, just donate your camera to the next available stranger. But, 47 minutes yes that's exactly right. Did Robyn or Robyn's publicist just recently watch Christian Marclay's The Clock? Did someone realize that so much can happen in the space of one minute ?
Let's also not forget the insanity of these restrictions when thousands of fans take cell phone photos from every angle at every possible time so, for real, don't you want some great shots of yourself anyway and maybe if you're not going to ban all cell phones, it's pointless to be so restrictive.
Anyway, let me sum up my experience shooting Robyn. I shot from audience left/stage right. Robyn was pink...so pink in fact that it made me wonder how humanity would choose to other ourselves if we were all just born pink. I don't mind at all when a woman does what she wants. After all, I am a feminist. My camera, though, unfortunately does mind. My camera is male (his name is Dutronc) and maybe he needs to get a little woke because every time he sees pink skin tones he starts to shudder to the point of no control. Poor Dutronc...he's still not quite over this set.
Am I rambling? Oh yes, where was I. Ok, we entered thinking we'd get a full song. Most of this time was taken up by a dancer who was utterly beautiful but who was NOT Robyn. That's who I was waiting to photograph after all this time in the post Darwin nightmare-did you forget that? I didn't. After a couple of minutes Robyn came out and guess what...pink! All pink! Shocking pink! Pretty in pink? I'll let you decide that on your own. Then, after another 3 minutes photographers were told we had to exit. There was five minutes left in that song.
I explain all of this to you because I will inevitably at every festival get someone come up to me and say "How did you get that cool photopass?!?!" Then, I tell them how easy it is-you have to invest about $25,000 for photo equipment and stay up three straight nights photoediting after running around dealing with all sorts of last minute shenanigans.
But hey, at least there was no photo contract this time.
Please enjoy this photograph of Sweden's darling, Robyn. I worked hard for it! And, if you ever just want to know what it was like IRL, maybe put some pink cellophane over your screen, play "Show Me Love" and it's like you're there.

Giovanni Segantini (Arco, 15 January 1858 - Schafberg mountain, 28 September 1899) - Savognino in winter (1890) - Oil on canvas 35 x 40 cm. - Exhibition Divisionism The revolution of light - Novara Castle
Il Divisionismo nasce a Milano, sulla stessa premessa del Neo-Impressionnisme francese, meglio noto come Pointillisme, senza tuttavia che si possa parlare di influenza diretta. Muove dall’idea che lo studio dei trattati d’ottica, che hanno rivoluzionato il concetto di colore, debba determinare la tecnica del pittore moderno. Si sviluppa nel Nord d’Italia, grazie soprattutto al sostegno di Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, mercante d’arte, critico, pubblicista e a sua volta pittore, che con il fratello Alberto gestisce a partire del 1876 una galleria d’arte a Milano. E’ Vittore a diffondere tra i pittori della sua scuderia il principio della sostituzione della miscela chimica dei colori tradizionalmente ottenuta sulla tavolozza, con un approccio diretto all’accostamento dei toni complementari sulla tela. Da dato chimico, il colore diventa fenomeno ottico e alla dovuta distanza l’occhio dello spettatore può ricomporre le pennellate staccate in una sintesi tonale, percependo una maggior luminosità nel dipinto.
Divisionism was born in Milan, on the same premise as the French Neo-Impressionnisme, better known as Pointillisme, without however being able to speak of direct influence. It starts from the idea that the study of optical treatises, which have revolutionized the concept of color, should determine the technique of the modern painter. It develops in Northern Italy, thanks above all to the support of Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, art dealer, critic, publicist and in turn painter, who with his brother Alberto has been managing an art gallery in Milan since 1876. Vittore spreads the principle of replacing the chemical mixture of colors traditionally obtained on the palette among the painters in his stable, with a direct approach to the combination of complementary tones on the canvas. From chemical data, the color becomes an optical phenomenon and at the necessary distance the viewer's eye can recompose the detached brush strokes in a tonal synthesis, perceiving a greater brightness in the painting.

Excerpt from koblenz-tourism.com:
Archaeological studies have shown that the Görresplatz square in the Koblenz old town was once settled by Romans. In the middle ages it belonged to the estate of the St. Castor monastery and later to the Jesuit order.
In the 19th century it became increasingly built up and passed into municipal ownership. Görresplatz was home to the publishing house of Carl Baedecker from 1827-1872, famous for his tourist guidebooks.
Over the centuries the Görresplatz has frequently changed both in looks and in name. It has been called the “Großer Platz” (Great Square), Paradeplatz (Parade Square), and the French called it “Place verte” (Green Place). In the years of rapid industrial growth it was called “Goebenplatz”.
The Görresplatz received its current name in 1946 in memory of the Koblenz publicist and historian, Joseph Görres. The historic pillar in the middle of the square is well worth seeing.
The fountain with its approx. 10-metre high column shows scenes from the history of Koblenz in ten three-dimensional scenes that are stacked on top of each other. The historic pillar was a gift from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate for the 2,000 year anniversary of the city of Koblenz in 1992.
"Eventually, Why not now?"
Another slide show result of Swiss artist Gerry Hofstetter.
This spectacular show was seen by only a few and I saw only a couple of people taking photos so I thought I'd post a second one. There were over a dozen slides shown on the elevators depicting Minnesota's grain and General Mills history.
According to the artist's publicist, Sara Sterling;
"Gold Medal flour, its workers, machinery and the Milling district of Minneapolis were highlighted by Swiss light artist Gerry Hofstetter.
Minnesota was added to the "light Art Grand Tour USA"
The artist travels the world "transforming monuments and landscapes into light art sculptures for a short moment in time as a way to highlight their history and importance to the world"
The light show also illuminates the friendship between Switzerland and the United States.

11 Facts About Animal Homelessness in the USA Acccording to
DO SOMETHING.ORG
1. Only 1 out of every 10 dogs born will find a permanent home.
2. The main reasons animals are in shelters: owners give them up, or animal control finds them on the street.
3. Homeless animals outnumber homeless people 5 to 1.
4. 3 to 4 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full and there aren’t enough adoptive homes. Act as a publicist for your local shelter so pets can find homes. Sign up for Puppy PR.
5. Each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized because they do not get adopted.
6. According to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy (NCPPSP), less than 2% of cats and only 15 to 20% of dogs are returned to their owners.
7. 25% of dogs that enter local shelters are purebred.
8. Over 20% of people who leave dogs in shelters adopted them from a shelter.
9. It’s impossible to determine how many stray dogs and cats live in the U.S. Estimates for cats alone range up to 70 million.
10. Only 10% of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered. Overpopulation, due to owners letting their pets accidentally or intentionally reproduce, sees millions of these “excess” animals killed annually.
11. Many strays are lost pets that were not kept properly indoors or provided with identification.

12 Alarming Facts About Pet Homelessness - ONE GREEN PLANET
www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/12-alarming-facts...
Bright, a town in north-east Victoria, is situated in the Ovens Valley and is part of the Alpine Region of Victoria. 210 kilometres from Melbourne, Bright was one of the towns in the Ovens Valley where gold was discovered. Gold was found near the junction of Morses Creek and the Ovens River in the 1850s. Established in 1862 and named Bright, most likely after John Bright (1811 - 1889) an English publicist, reformer and parliamentarian the township thrived. With the Gold Rush in full swing, Bright soon had Catholic, Wesleyan and Presbyterian churches, schools, three hotels, three quartz mills and two bank branches. As the yield of gold declined in the 1870s, so too did Bright’s population, yet by the 1880s, it became an alpine tourism town. The Bright Alpine club was formed in 1887 and a community library was started there in 1889. In the following year Bright was connected by railway to Myrtleford and Wangaratta, bringing with it much needed tourists from Melbourne. In 1910 a grand chalet was opened at Mount Buffalo and Bright ran a hire car service for visitors, who often stayed there overnight at a hotel or guesthouse. In 1919 a secondary school was opened in Bright. It also had a tourist progress association and local angling, bowling, racing, tennis and golf clubs amongst its many attractions. By the mid 1920s the people of Bright began planting exotic trees partly for landscape improvement and partly to lay the summer dust. The street tree plantings produced extraordinary autumn colours. By 1933, Bright was described as the “Tourism Capital of the Ovens Valley”. Bright’s train line continued until 1983 when it was finally discontinued and replaced with coaches. By that time, it was a well established tourism town with people flocking there all throughout the year for different reasons. Bright is a base for exploring the peaks of Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park as well as Mount Hotham, a popular ski resort. Bright is a starting point for the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, a hiking and cycling path. Bright Museum, in the town’s former train station, documents rail and gold rush history. The region is also known for wineries and of course its amazing display of autumnal foliage.
This building was erected between 1928-1930, by architects Moritz Wagner and Constantin Nănescu in a neo-Romanian style, to house the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It was in 1969 that the building became the current seat of the County Library. And since 1992, the library bears the name of the Romanian historian and publicist George Barițiu who founded in 1838 in Brasov, "Gazeta de Transilvania", the first political and informative newspaper of Romanians in Transylvania. It is his statue which is in front of the library.
