The complaints about robbery just keep coming in! Officer Dodge questioning the Blessed Peep about some stolen Easter Eggs.
POST is an ongoing project where I am questioning, do postboxes still have a place in our society? In my generation the everyday analogue process of posting a letter is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Postboxes lie dormant, statues and monuments of a bygone era. The premise of this project is to revisit this analogue process to get as many people involved as possible, mailing postcards in the form of photographs.
Inspired by the Mail Art projects, I want people to photograph postboxes in their travels, print them off and write a reflective statement on the back of the photograph (postcard) and return it to me. These entries will act as the thoughts of the individual in their travels in their day to day lives much in the same way people tweet and update their Facebook statuses. The collection will form a record of people keeping this analogue process alive. All “postcards” sent to me will feature both on the POST blog site, and will feature in the book.
Here's how you can get involved:
1. Take a picture of a Postbox either in your travels or one close to home.
(Landscape as opposed to portrait)
2. Print out at 6 x 4, write a reflective statement on the back of the photo.
(Sorta like a diary entry)
3. Stamp it and return it to: 166 Vandyke Road, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 3HS.
Thanks for taking part!

After the last snap, Morrison's Deputy Manager came out the back and started questioning me about filming in the store (and I can't believe I actually had to tell him how to conduct an effective investigation). It turns out that our little psycho, unable to handle having the piss taken out of his ridiculous behaviour, marched his family to the upper echelons of the Morrison's hierarchy in a lame attempt to play Steven (the Depury Manager) and me against each other.
As the only independent witness, an elderly chick with a cream cake, said in the heat of battle, this is Kidderminster and there are people like that here.
You don't fucking say. They're fucking EVERYWHERE here. Sad little anal jobsworth types who just don't know when to give up and accept they're the people they really are. David Bailey? My former friend? Just about very regular, and the staff they've influenced, at Caffe- Fucking-Nero? Etc., etc., etc. On and fucking on. A painful, endless list. Yeah, welcome to Kidderminster, all right.
Well, I tried to get it through to Steve, and he did look like he got it, but who knows? People like that sad idiot - DESPERADOS - can be quite skilled at manipulation, partly because most of them have had a lifetime's practise at trying to cover their tracks. Well, that approach doesn't exactly always work in the long run. Sooner or later - and this might happen more with social media - people can come together and put the pieces together (though maybe this process needs work on). This is what is happening with my former friend, where years of deception is finally catching up with him.
I dunno. I think I'm going to keep going to Morrison's. Nice vibe, out the back. There may be drama, especially if Steve lets himself get played, after I said my piece. There may not be drama. Steve's from out of town, though, and so doesn't really get what people here can be like. Let's see.
After my Spag Bol, I wanted a coffee, so back to Nero's, like the glutton for punishment I clearly am. On the way, I met one of the cool regulars, who shares my bewilderment about how bizarre this Safari Park can be. She gave me a chance to partially detox from the Morrison's Idiot.
But there's always a residue, however slight, when you travel between worlds in such a concentrated place so rapidly. Back at Nero's, I needed an ashtray. Barista Clare wouldn't let me get an ashtray (the manager lets me) and lied about the petty power inspired by the neg regs she's highly vulnerable to, especially when she's tired. Bothered. And I told her so. She tried to be clever, and said summat lame, so I went nuclear and told her that I wasn't 'one of those types who needs a relationship with a Caffe Nero barista'.
As always, here: expect drama and keep em peeled.

On the bus ride home, my bus driver hit a mail carrier truck. Or the other way around. The bus didn't seem to be damaged, but the mail carrier truck lost a mirror or two. Anyway, I took some pictures (and a video) outside while we all waited. When the police came, I continued to take pictures. The police asked for everyone's name and date of birth. Some people on the bus gave false names and dates. In the end, a different bus came to take us home. No one was hurt.
When questioning the park rangers when the last tourist came to this station the response was: "You ask very difficult questions!".

I loved this short story that I heard on the radio program: This American Life from July 2003. The title of the episode is
"Call in Colonel Mustard For Questioning." It reminds me of a character I have created, except this guy is the real thing, so I felt I had to draw this story. I once thought sending it to TAL as a completed pamphlet but alas it has sat in my file drawer so here it is. Text is transcripts from TAL's website.
From the museum label: Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings explore authority in our public spaces, questioning how social hierarchy, order and obedience are negotiated.
Tulips consists of six fresco paintings and a large-scale drawing. The frescoes depict scenes of exchange, conflict and familiarity. Quinlan and Hastings imagine these scenes unfolding on streets, public parks and gardens where different modes of authority compete against one another. The legal authority of the police contends with the unruly authority of the public, as well-dressed women perform the outrage of their moral authority. The works examine power and visibility through the lens of class, gender, sexuality, race and social relations in everyday life.
The artists have chosen to work with fresco, a traditional technique of mural painting composed on freshly laid lime plaster. They are usually monumental in scale, depicting symbolic or moralistic scenes in places of worship, municipal buildings or private residences. Working on wet plaster is a laborious, time sensitive process. Each painting is constructed in sections called giornata, meaning 'a day's work'; faint seams across their surface separates one day's work from the next.
Quinlan and Hastings' collaborative practice is grounded in research into how various communities have been represented at different moments in history. Drawing on a range of visual sources such as archival street photography, each work evokes a number of eras by referencing historical artworks, clothing and architecture.
Layered with history and meaning, the works examine how the state shapes our public spaces and architecture, and how these environments may shape our behaviours and desires. Tulips invites you to question what it means to occupy public spaces today and how we might reimagine this for the future.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.”

What may have been the most important day in collective, 21st Century U.S. activism. Only time will tell.
Winter– the season of self-questioning, hibernation, and abandonment– is the excellent time to go deeper into the technique of yoga exercise or to grow a house practice. As the 4th period, wintertime is a time for maintaining. The number 4 corresponds to the grounding nature of all points as well as nature itself– the four […]
Sanford Biggers, Andromeda, 2021
Sanford Biggers is known for mixing art styles with cultural symbols, while questioning issues of authenticity, authority, and appropriation. With the sculpture Andromeda he mixes European and African sculptural traditions by merging a Mukudj mask, from Gabon, West Africa, with a classical Greek sculpture.
Andromeda refers to the, according to Sanford Biggers, 'whitewashing' of Greco- Roman sculptures. When we think of these statues, we almost immediately think of white marble, but in ancient times these statues were colourfully painted. Stripped of their original colours, they have been used over the centuries to propagate ideas of white homogeneity and superiority.
Sanford Biggers compares this form of 'whitewashing' to the way Modernists such as Picasso incorporated African masks into their art in the early 20th century while ignoring their original cultural context. With Andromeda, Biggers points us to the negative impact of these beliefs on our conceptions of culture, ethnicity, and identity.
The Wereldmuseum Leiden, also known as the National Museum of Ethnology, is a fascinating institution located in the university city of Leiden, Netherlands. It is one of the oldest ethnological museums in the world, offering a window into diverse cultures and civilizations across the globe. The museum's collection is organized around ten regions, including Africa, the Arctic, and Asia, showcasing a rich array of artifacts, from life-sized statues to religious objects and musical instruments. Visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant art from Africa's diaspora, marvel at the contemporary Aboriginal art, or explore the long history shared between the Netherlands and Japan through unique prints and lacquer work. The museum is not only a treasure trove for those interested in anthropology and history but also engages with contemporary events and debates, making it a dynamic place for learning and discovery.
A new clip came out today for this film. The clip is of the detective questioning Tucci, and to say the least, Tucci looks amazing in this film.
Well this screencap here is from the clip itself. This clip is a perfect example of the type of camera work Jackson has in this film; you can see the handheld work as well as the steadicam work. This clip here looks so much like Spielberg it's frightening, and Jackson never learned from him or studied him. To say the least this film looks so visually captivating and is photographed beautifully by Lesnie. The cool thing about the lighting in some of these scenes, mostly the Earth scenes, is that it's very soft and low key, with the majority of the light sources being natural light. This scene really shows it.
:This screencap here is at the end of this clip and is one of the best focus pulls I've ever seen. The camera focuses from Harvey to the bracelet beautifully; even the framing is perfect. The thing that makes this shot so unique in it's ability to convey a message. The shot starts out on Tucci (let's call him the first focus for explanation's sake) and ends on the bracelet (lets call this the second focus). Usually these shots always have the "second focus" a little in focus, so you can see it before it changes perspective. But here the bracelet is completely out of focus as it's on the Tucci. So as the camera does the focusing, it perfectly conveys the message because things are revealed perfectly.
If that's too confusing then I'll say it this way: You start out seeing Tucci, and by his reaction you understand that something is wrong. So when the camera focuses from him to the source of his agitation (the bracelet) the audience member is more shocked at what is revealed because it's revealed perfectly; the shot perfectly drives the message home, which would have been different if the bracelet was seen a little bit as the camera was focused on Tucci.

Here's a couple of pieces that probably had some people, more specifically my wife, questioning my sanity. In my defense, it was cheap and I was in Winnipeg, so I needed a little something extra to keep me powering through the week.
Nendoroid Anna and Elsa from Frozen.
Now, I'm not as big of a Disney Nerd, as it were, as I used to be. I've always enjoyed their designs (though IMHO Aladdin beats them all), and I did enjoy the once or twice I saw Frozen. The story was cute, and the designs were quite nice. Didn't quite get into Carpool Karaoke mode that many others did when the song came on the radio, and with my children being quite young, I didn't have to endure tone dea.... I mean.. charming, renditions of the songs by my daughters.
Whist in Winnipeg, a local seller had these up for $25 a pop, albeit with slight damage to the Olaf that came with Anna. Figured it was a good opportunity to get them both at once, so one rainy morning before work I met up with the seller and got the deal one.
On a side note, the Medicom Anna and Elsa are OUTSTANDING, and I would love to get my hands on those without having to pay black market organ prices.
If you haven't watched Frozen.. somehow.. then you're probably still somewhat familiar with the characters. Anna is the plucky younger sister of the Royal family, while Elsa is quite literally an Ice Queen, and lives a life like Bruce Wayne from Act One of The Dark Knight Rises.
As I've probably said before, the Nendoroid "style" lends itself to certain characters. At worst, you get a chibi version of a normal proportioned character, like with those Cosbaby release that Hot Toys puts out, but sometimes that Nendoroid magic just makes this release of the character that much more magical.
In this case, it leans more towards the magical side, though not as magically delicious as, say Kirby. The simplifed art style and cute proportions do make animated characters like Anna and Elsa somewhat more appealing that normal, but I feel that, especially in the case of Elsa, there significant loss of detailing on the outfits is to the detriment of the overall character itself.
Again, your standard Nendoroid rules regarding articulation, QC, included accessory types and so on apply here. Of the two, I'd have to give the slight advantage to Elsa with her raised eyebrow expression and much cooler ice based accessories.
Olaf.. well, he's kind of there. Nice addition, but ultimately doesn't really add a whole lot to the set IMHO because if you bought one, you probably bought both to display together.
GSC included a set of arms that allows you to link the two figures together in that pose I keep picturing Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in.
This also brings me to the weakest part of the set, as it were.. that horrible snowflake base that Elsa comes with. It's honestly like a take out container lid with a snowflake moulded in.
Obviously while not an essential part of the Nendoroid experience (I don't think I actually own any of those, to be honest), a good solid set of figures that you shouldn't hesitate on if you find them for a good price.

"So it was put together in a Rube Goldberg kind of arrangement. So we moved into this building. And this was a brand new, state of the art, stainless steel, refrigeration is perfect, spit clean building. And we started making our natural, old world, hickory smoked, natural casing hot dogs here. And it wasn't as good."

I’m leaving on a journey to a place I’ve never seen…
Alone, but for once, loving loneliness
Independent, but for once, embracing fears
Scared, but for once, proceeding with doubts
Proud, but for once, of the process and not the result
Questioning, but for once, the effects and not the status
… that is how I have always wished my life had been!

After much searching and questioning on several Audi forums I was informed that the Aluminum Trunk strip is glued in place on S4s instead of snapped in place like on A4s. I did'nt feel like wrestling with adhesive and possibly damaging the strip or my bumper so I plastidipped it. Did'ne come out perfect but is good enough for now.

Remake of a famous photo by Kertesz. I still need to figure out how to make the fork reflect light correctly. This looks so easy but (for me) it isn't.
But actually the point of this days exercise is not the image itself. I shot that a while ago. It's a thingy I was itching to test: What happens if I take a photo of uniform surface at 25600 ISO and apply it as grain to a digital shot. You'll have to forgive me LOL: I like the result. Must be the grumpy mood I'm in.
So I hope this still counts. One of the two shots was taken on the day.
