All Is Quiet on the Domestic Front: a look at intimacy and dwelling was a daylong seminar on the home. The speakers explored various perceptions and theorisings on the home, the private, and the intimate. Ine Gevers began by critically questioning who may be excluded from conventional or traditional notions of the home. Her thesis focused on the significance of listening to those who reside outside the borders of inclusion, the mad, the disabled, and those without residence. Polly Gould gave a lecture and performance on “matter in and out of place”. She examined the social taboos around bodily secretions, specifically breast milk and touched upon the blurred and at times contradictory distinctions society makes between the public and private, the sightly and unsightly. Riek Sijbring, taking an art historical approach, looked at still life painting and the ways ‘the feminine’ was represented through the depiction of floral arrangements within an interior space. Finally, Apolonija Sustersic compared and contrasted the Modernist high architectural visions of Le Corbusier with the illegal self-built and at times provisional dwellings in Slovenia. At the end of the day there was a discussion among the guest lecturers and the audience. One of the over arching themes emerging was the necessity to look beyond the spatial qualities of the home and acknowledge its socially constructed borders.

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.

This year the parade began at St Stephen's Green and finished up at Smithfield Square and for some strange reason the change of route gave the event a different feel [ not better or worse but different].
This year it was much more difficult to take pre-parade photographs because the back-stage area was totally packed with people and floats.
I took a big gamble in that I did not use the automatic features offered by my camera and also I went for high speed which did result in under exposure but this may not be a bad decision as I am inclined to over expose. Also many of my photographs were shot at ISO 50 and I cannot remember setting the default to ISO 50 rather than 100.

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.

Rilke. Duino Elegies, 7.
This morning (Friday 23 August) police in Rochdale executed two warrants in the Freehold neighbourhood as they continue their relentless pursuit of those intent on causing harm to the local community.
Three men aged 14 – 54, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A and B drugs. They remain in police custody for questioning.
Following a thorough search of the addresses, significant quantities of class A and B drugs were found, with an estimated street sale value of £51,000. We also seized several weapons, including two samurai swords, and several items consistent with a significant drugs operation.
This is the latest activity which comes under the district’s Operation Affect, the force’s latest Clear, Hold, Build initiative. Police are systematically dismantling and disrupting organised crime in the area, by pursuing gang members and criminals to clear the area, holding the location to prevent criminals exploiting the vacuum created by the original disruption, and working with partners and Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) to build a prosperous and resilient community.
So far, the team have made 36 arrests, secured three full closure orders on nuisance properties linked to criminality, and seized large quantities of cash, drugs, and weapons.
Building on a successful community event held earlier this year, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) are working with local residents and partners to design out crime in Freehold and rebuild a stronger community.
The overall investment is anticipated to be around £5M and will keep residents safer and improve the overall look of the local area, including providing higher quality common areas and improving the condition of the buildings.
Inspector Meena Yasin, who is leading Operation Affect, said: “Since launching this operation we’ve seen a real concerted effort to disrupt illegal drug supply in the Freehold area of Rochdale.
"From speaking with residents, we know that drug dealing, and anti-social behaviour has been a particular area of concern for them.
“The seizures this morning means we have been able to take tens of thousands of pounds worth of illicit and harmful products off our streets and dismantle a significant drugs operation which has been blighting our residents.
“Our officers remain in the area to provide a visible reassurance for residents. If you have any concerns or want to share information about suspicious behaviour in the area, please speak to them, they are there to help you.
“You know your community best, and your intelligence often forms a large and crucial park of our criminal investigations, helping us to remove criminals from the streets.”
Hayley Stockham, RBH Director of Neighbourhoods, said: "We have zero tolerance for anti-social behaviour and criminal activity in our neighbourhoods. We're very grateful to the local community for supporting our joint efforts to stamp out this behaviour.
“We will continue to work closely with our partners in the Police and at the Council, and we know that this is making a significant difference to the lives of local people. We encourage members of the community to continue to report crime and anti-social behaviour to RBH and to the Police.”
If you have any concerns about drugs in your area, let us know via our Live Chat function on our website, or by calling 101, so that we can take action.
Always dial 999 in an emergency.
Alternatively, you can report it to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

“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.
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.

I hear a lot of people questioning how BAD I really am. Look, just because I'm good in puppy class, and already know sit, down, wait, kiss, shake hands and here not to mention retrieving real ducks on land and water doesn't mean a thing.
I'm my own puppy. I do what I want, and if I want to be good, that's bad. Get it? So hush you puppies.

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.

Being a relationship, or whatever you would call my current situation, has changed my life. It's changed my life in more ways than I can count.
Caring about someone else, although they are over 1,000 miles away has taught me how to be alone, how to accept comfort through small words on a screen or through a phone call, even when there's nothing physical happening, you still find comfort in this other person's voice or the way they type out a goodnight message.
This series was an attempt to show parts of myself. I wanted to show how someone embracing or holding a certain part of you could mean so much to how you view yourself. I have a lot of friends who suffer with body hate. And I find it hard to sympathize because I have never hated my body. I was never taught to hate anything about myself, so having people close to me who have these self doubts daily is something that I have been questioning a lot.
Using the 4x5 camera, I decided to show the parts of myself that I have grown to love even more as a result of being a relationship. There are things about myself that this other person in my life enjoys. Whether it be my humor or the small of my back, this person has taught me how to love myself even more than I have ever thought possible.
