Sol LeWitt was one of the main figures of his time; he transformed the process of art-making by questioning the fundamental relationship between an idea, the subjectivity of the artist, and the artwork a given idea might produce. While many artists were challenging modern conceptions of originality, authorship, and artistic genius in the 1960s, LeWitt denied that approaches such as Minimalism, Conceptualism, and Process Art were merely technical or illustrative of philosophy.
In his Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, LeWitt asserted that Conceptual art was neither mathematical nor intellectual but intuitive, given that the complexity inherent to transforming an idea into a work of art was fraught with contingencies.
LeWitt's art is not about the singular hand of the artist; it is the idea behind each work that surpasses the work itself. In the early 21st century, LeWitt's work, especially the wall drawings, has been critically acclaimed for its economic perspicacity.
Though modest—most exist as simple instructions on a sheet of paper—the drawings can be made again and again and again, anywhere in the world, without the artist needing to be involved in their production.

Sol LeWitt was seminal in establishing the notion of ‘conceptual art’ during the 1960s. Wall Drawing #1136 Curved and straight color bands 2004 is one of a number of highly coloured wall pieces he made. It includes seven vibrant colours to create an overwhelming chromatic environment that envelopes the viewer. The curve, snakes along the wall. Every band in the wall drawing is of the same width and there is no area left empty of colour.
It has been produced for Tate St Ives by a team of draftspersons, guided by an assistant from the artist’s estate.

As I captured the morning light at Mesquite Dunes, I couldn't help but notice the abundance of vegetation on this side of the dune field. With my 100-400 lens at my disposal, I decided to experiment with isolating some of the plants against the sand layers. Some of the plants appeared to be on the verge of being swallowed up by the sand, and I found a perfect example of this. Luckily, we were the only ones there that morning, and the wind had been strong the previous night, leaving behind detailed patterns in the dunes. I was fascinated by the stark contrast between the plant's ragged appearance and the beautiful, serene, repeating patterns of the sand.
Sam is online
B: Hi, handsome.
Sam: Hi, love.
Sam gives a stern look.
Sam: What did you do this time, babe?
B: Baby, can you just receive a compliment without questioning it and just say THANK YOU when I admire you?
*silence for awhile*
B: Ok, let us put it to practice right away.
*pause*
B: Hi, handsome.
Sam: Thank you, love.
B: Yaaay!
Sam: BUT...what did you do again this time? What rule did you break again?
B facepalms a million times 😭😂😂😂😭😂😂
Hi handsome!😘 At least, I can say it here without any interruption coz Sam has a veeery inactive, almost dead Flickr account. 😜😅
To my lover and my torturer (he makes me walk 20,000 steps a day 😩 when my rehab doctor only required me 10,000), to my bestfriend and my public enemy no. 1, I adore you! 💕
I'm trying to find the best fit for these ingredients. I made vegetable fried rice with them but I wasn't happy with it. I then made chicken vegetable soup with these ingredients and that was better. And poor Tom is stuck with my constant questioning of his opinion. But I like this photo, so at least that's something.

Started off the day questioning my life choices as I ran hill repeats in the dark on a rather wet morning. This was the view at the top of the reservoir.

A hike in the Upper Delta just wouldn't be complete without the gorgeous presence of a few Question Mark butterflies, either in their Summer form with the dark bottom wing ends or the soon-to-be appearing Autumn form, with spotted wing ends....see below!
NS train 192 moves past what appears to be a strib club (judging by the "maximum exposure" poster), on 6th street in Augusta, GA. I am still questioning what this place has to do with Vegas.

tail end of the people rushing up the hill. Now waiting for the light to change so they could go. Some smiles, some not sure why and some not trusting. End result, not a word was said as we passed each other by.
These are 2 silver gelatin prints with elements of chemigram and lumen printing from my project "Traces".
”Traces” is a series that explores the transformation of identity over time. It delves into the fluid nature of "the self," questioning how much of who we are is shaped by our past versus the influence of fate. Through this work, I sought to deconstruct the familiar image we recognize as ourselves and rebuild it through a variety of alternative techniques. I employed methods such as manipulating the negative, experimenting with alternative chemical processes in the darkroom, and incorporating mixed media on the final prints. The portraits, captured on film first and finally printed on paper, reflect a layered process that blends traditional analog techniques with experimental approaches to reimagine the subject’s identity.
What was his question? When will you refill the bird feeders? I did after the photo. Here in coastal South Carolina, we use about six large bags of seed every spring/summer.

While walking through the streets of a small town in Italy, my attention was caught by a pair of eyes. The countenance of the face seemed ready to ask me a question.
I_Il Bagatto
"In mezzo a un ciuffo di peli, due occhi vivi e, soprattutto, uno sguardo interrogativo.
Chi sei?
Salve, sono il cane.
I suoi occhi vivaci non mi abbandonavano più. Percepivo la sua presenza. E la sua anima era così vicina alla mia da sentirla a volte tiepida come il muso, che chiedeva soltanto di amare."
Henri Bosco
1_ The Magician
"In the midst of a tuft of hair, two lively eyes and, above all, a questioning look.
Who are you?
Hi, I'm the dog.
His lively eyes never left me. I felt his presence. And his soul was so close to mine that it sometimes felt as warm as the muzzle, which only asked to love."

I had to get up at 2.20am to get to Shingle Street for sunrise, I was questioning my sanity for doing so whilst driving there but worth it on this occasion. I was here two years ago and I am amazed how much this beach has changed in that time, the cottage/bungalow was on the sea front on my last visit. I used a pebble to create the ripple in the foreground, this took about eight attempts before I was happy.

Last spring, when I planned our trip to Death Valley National Park, I was eager to explore the Artist Drive location. I wanted to capture the best lighting and planned to return multiple times on different days. On our first day, we thought stopping at Devil's Golf Course would be a good idea before heading to Artist Drive for sunset. Unfortunately, the clear sky and flat lighting didn't help. We hiked around the area but were cautious of the sharp spires. However, we soon saw the light change quite dramatically. While looking up sunset times, I had failed to account for the mountains to the west. The sun was going to set earlier than expected. Although I was disappointed about missing Artist Drive, Death Valley never fails to impress. As the sun set behind the mountains, warm golden light illuminated the valley and enhanced the colors of the mountain peaks to the east. With the Devil's Golf Course spires in the foreground, I captured several decent images.
Claimed to be on the prime among the many seven pure wonders of the world, you would simply spend a few days questioning at this magical creation of nature. An area delusion explains that the bay was karst have been created when a dragon descended on the ocean to thwart Chinese language invaders and spat out jade stones and pearls that ultimately grew to become the islands. The phrase “Ha Long” which means “descending dragon” is why it’s referred to as so. The geological purpose of it being created by tens of millions of years of mountain formation, encroaching sea and tectonic plate actions is equally awe inspiring.
The seascape is a set of about 2000 limestone karst of all sizes, shapes and shades of inexperienced jutting out the ocean. It’s a web site that you simply’ll see nowhere else on the earth and the sensation of cruising on Halong Bay cruises, irrespective of if the skies are sunny or overcast, is a rare feeling.

When I discovered this rock during my last trip to the Californian desert, I simply couldn't resist, even if the alignment required some artistic leeway... 😜

Along with being a bad hair day for this guy, it is generally just a bad day for Mountain Goats. Grand Teton National Park is scheduled to start killing Mountain Goats in the GTNP and The State of Wyoming is hazing the goats along the Snake. It seems being declared a non-native species is not good for your health. I can only hope that someone doesn't start questioning my heritage!
With a high of 40 degrees F tomorrow and the potential of snow, these birds must be questioning their decision to migrate. Lake St. Clair.

I am currently on holidays in Reunion Island, and with 3 friends we decided to head in the middle of the night to the South East of the Island to shoot the Milky Way. When we arrived, a thunderstorm was just starting on the horizon, I was able to capture this unique moment.
People are questioning the authenticity of this shot because it is a 30s exposure and the sea ripples are visible. So I will explain this: it was pitch dark, one strike of lighting lit the whole scene for a fraction of seconds, and hence I was able to capture a short exposure of the water.

21109 Exo-Suit - Alternative Model
Firstly, I'm not that type of guy who purchases multiple sets however the '21109 - Exo-Suit' was one of them along with '70816 - Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP' which I got two of (one to display and one for parts.) Both sets got me into designing MOC's so they have a very special place in my heart.
I managed to purchase three copies of the Exo-Suit: one for personal collection with a signed box by Legoloverman and lego_nabii (flic.kr/p/pWVcdC), one I used for parts to build my own Neo-Classic Space MOC's and I still had one sealed. (At the time it was another copy for a parts pack and the cool Minifigures.)
I've been questioning myself for a while now with what to do with the extra copy I own. Yesterday I set myself a task to build an alternative model only using pieces from ‘21009 - Exo-Suit.' inspired by the LEGO Movie (2014) 2-in-1 sets. This model contains about 80% of the pieces from that set. It's inspired by the 'Turtle' included with '21109 - Exo-Suit' but it's a larger version of the turtle that can be piloted by a Minifigure,' so essentially it's a Turtle Exo-Suit but I prefer to call it 'Turtle XL.'
Red Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas) Many scientists believe the red-eyed tree frog developed its vivid scarlet peepers to shock predators into at least briefly questioning their meal choice.
These iconic rain-forest amphibians sleep by day stuck to leaf-bottoms with their eyes closed and body markings covered. When disturbed, they flash their bulging red eyes and reveal their huge, webbed orange feet and bright blue-and-yellow flanks. This technique, called startle coloration, may give a bird or snake pause, offering a precious instant for the frog to spring to safety.
Their neon-green bodies may play a similar role in thwarting predators. Many of the animals that eat red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal hunters that use keen eyesight to find prey. The shocking colors of this frog may over-stimulate a predator's eyes, creating a confusing ghost image that remains behind as the frog jumps away.
Red-eyed tree frogs, despite their conspicuous coloration, are not venomous. They are found in tropical lowlands from southern Mexico, throughout Central America, and in northern South America. Nocturnal carnivores, they hide in the rain forest canopy and ambush crickets, flies, and moths with their long, sticky tongues.
Red-eyed tree frogs are not endangered. But their habitat is shrinking at an alarming rate, and their highly recognizable image is often used to promote the cause of saving the world's rain forests.
Overnight wind in the forecast after this most recent storm left me questioning whether we would still have snow clinging to the trees by daybreak. The hesitation resulted in minimal planning and a later than normal start to capture sunrise. I began by heading south down 9D through the towns of Beacon and Cold Spring and noticed the sky getting more and more overcast the farther south I went. The trees didn't have that "fresh powder" feel either, which was really what I was after. I decided to check out Fahnestock SP since I was in the area, but conditions only worsened.
At this point, I had lost almost all hope that I was going to find a location and composition to utilize the "best" light. Given that it was a few minutes before sunrise I jumped on the Taconic, heading north towards home. The farther north I traveled, the better conditions seemed to be. Just for the hell of it I kept going and began "chasing the light" as they say -- something that usually doesn't reveal great results, at least for me anyway.
I found myself in Red Hook at Scenic Hudson's Poets' Walk Park. I had only been here a few times before and knew that park hours didn't line up with a sunrise shoot, but by chance the gate was open. It was already an hour past sunrise, but given the heavy cloud cover, the light was still somewhat soft. I came upon this scene as I approached the rolling meadows and prominent cedar pavilion in the distance. This park definitely has a "storybook" feel to it and is a must to return to in the future.
Thanks for viewing and commenting!

questioning everything again
nothing feels right
(sometimes i feel photo booth is a bit of a cop out)
For many in this creation, past and present, Easter is a time for searching and questioning, a time when one might gaze into the distance, looking for something that is hard to see or perhaps difficult to comprehend. In those circumstances we might find ourselves, like this bulldog, staring into the distance, not really sure what we are going to find. But like this bulldog, we do know something is out there, because we can almost smell it, or sense it, in a remarkably mysterious way. What is out there is something that is both incomprehensibly complex and amazingly simple, wrapped into one package. All it takes to find and unwrap that package is a leap of faith. Jump at the chance, while you can.

Sometimes we find ourselves in complicated moments in our lives that seem to have no end, in which bad circumstances accumulate, becoming a heavy burden that paralyzes us while the world continues to inevitably revolve around us. Without being a strategist or a psychologist, my recommendation is to try to solve each bad circumstance individually, since the global solution will not come and will lead us to frustration. Be constant, set humble short-term goals, and be patient, and you will see how one by one you are removing those obstacles from the way, and learn to rest, to gain strength with each achievement, and to ask for help, even if you see yourself on the edge.
Today's world is frustrating by default; the patterns to "be happy" that we learned and were written have become obsolete. Much has changed with Covid, seeing how half the world tries to protect itself and the other half incomprehensibly prefers to deny everything, like the child who covers his eyes to feel hidden.
Centuries of science and research are erased from the map in ten minutes through social networks by characters that people simply follow because if things were as they say, everything would be simpler, and for that reason their followers do not consider that before a scientific decision there were hundreds of minds working hard, comparing, arguing, demonstrating, and surprisingly questioning all that weight of reality after hearing an eloquent phrase from the "guru" character without being processed by our survival instinct or our minimal knowledge; I would ask those so-called "skeptics", because they do not doubt the guru, to rest, but getting information, that information that already existed for many years about what a virus is, and how it works, and then if, decide for themselves.
And before the "salt and lemon" game of the news media, check two things that I consider absolutely basic:
1- vaccination does not cure, vaccination does not prevent infections (not the ones existing for now); Vaccination helps your body to defend itself better in case of being attacked by the virus, therefore, this is a personal decision but I think it is an obvious one, since I believe that we all want to survive. 2- The only thing that prevents the virus from spreading, the only thing that will make it weaker, is not establishing biological bridges that it can use; that is, distancing, self-protection and the protection of others, therefore, beyond more or less lax restriction measures, we must put our personal intelligence first: wear a mask and avoid close contacts as much as possible (as much as you want to get contagied). The falling numbers of infection rates are continually altered by changes in the criteria, so they are not valid data; my recommendation is to focus on the number of people in hospitals, in intensive care, how long they stay there, and how many people become chronically ill every day due to "mild symptoms" of which we do not know the consequences, or not...
Good Luck, and of course, this is just a personal opinion, I don't need positive or negative feedbacks about it; I just want to see a human being using all the knowledge and intelligence being used 24/7, not just when the local covid protocol asks for or permits us.
And don't believe me, be critical, get all the information, but you already know "if I want to know about shoes I'll ask a shoemaker"
While editing this shot of a Common Grackle, my first thought was of phrase that my granddaughter said often while in her two’s. When she needed you to repeat what you had said she would pivot in your direction, tighten her brow and sweetly ask “Wa-you-say,” as if it were a single word. This phrase made us laugh and warmed our hearts every time! I often thought it should be her Indian name…if she were Indian.
Now that she is a much more mature three, she has refined her speech and I haven’t heard it for a while. I have no doubt that my wife and I will use it the rest of our lives.
