My dragon is an original piece by Peter Nuttall. I was worried about it fading where it was, but this will do nicely.
Place Replaced Assignment: Constructed, praised
My photo shrine.
Because the darkroom has become my home
Because of long processes
This, to this, to this
Place, film, print
Because ideas revolved, growing too fast
Because it was the first thing I liked
And they chose me
Because the silver grabbed their light
Because abandoning you gave me time
But I left it in a room with no space
Because the blocks didn’t keep me grounded
Because the candles will sink with the fallen petals
And the wind will break the balance
Because she didn’t let the wax burn her finger
Because I spilled it with fire and smoke
Because bokeh sounded interesting
And the fangs of the beast didn’t shine
Because it didn’t work
Concrete distances
Because I did all of this
Because he was cool, with mutual blacks and whites
Because she looked like a bird
I surrendered
And that makes me angry
Because they will all curve in the end
Because shattering glass became this habit
Because I couldn’t write enough each day
Because I’m not good with poems
Inside the future home of the New Museum of London
New Museum of London, West Smithfield
Sir Horace Jones (1883) and T P Bennett and Son (1963) New Museum of London scheme: Stanton Williams Architects Asif Khan Julian and Harrap Architects
In 2016, Stanton Williams and Asif Khan, working together with conservation architect Julian Harrap and landscape design consultants J&L Gibbons, were the winners of an international competition to find an architect to design the new Museum of London. The team was selected for their “innovative thinking, sensitivity to the heritage of the existing market buildings and understanding of practicalities of creating a great museum experience”.
The vision for the new Museum of London balances a crisp and contemporary design with a strong recognition of the physicality and power of the existing spaces of the West Smithfield site. The early stage concept includes a new lifted landmark dome which would create a beautiful light-filled entrance to the museum; innovative spiral escalators will transport visitors down to the exhibition galleries in a vast excavated underground chamber; flexible spaces are included that can serve as a new meeting place for London; and a centre for events and debate and a new sunken garden and green spaces to provide pockets of tranquillity.
Stanton Williams and Asif Khan are now working closely with the team at the Museum of London and the museum’s stakeholders including the GLA, City of London Corporation and the local Smithfield community to develop their initial concepts into a fully-formed vision for the new museum at West Smithfield.
Paul Williams, Director of Stanton Williams, said: “We are immensely excited about being given the opportunity to work with the Museum of London on this wonderfully challenging project – participating in an endeavour that will transform an area of London that has such a rich history, but sadly has been in decline for many years. Encountering the historic market spaces for the first time ... we were ‘blown away’ by the power and physicality already existing, and knew then, that whatever scheme we developed, this physicality needed to be harnessed, and not lost, and that initial observation has inspired our initial design proposals. This project will engage a broad community well beyond London.”
Asif Khan said: “To have a chance to create a new museum for London, in London, about London, at this moment in time is incredibly exciting for us. We all know the power of public spaces in changing our city and our individual lives, and this is what drives us. We want the Museum of London to be a museum where everyone belongs, and where the future of London is created.”

In 1860 the City of London obtained an Act of Parliament (The Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market Act of 1860), allowing the construction of new buildings on the Smithfield site. Work began in 1866 on the two main sections of the market, the East and West Buildings. These buildings were built above railway lines which had newly connected London to every other part of the country, enabling meat to be delivered directly to the market.
The buildings, designed by City Architect Sir Horace Jones, were commissioned in 1866 and completed in November 1868 at a cost of £993,816. The Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Act also authorised the development of the Poultry Market which opened in 1875. This building was subsequently destroyed by a major fire in 1958 and was replaced by the current building in 1962. Further buildings were added to the market in later years, the General Market in 1883 and the Annexe Market in 1888.

Built in 1862-1895, this Byzantine Revival-style Greek Orthodox Cathedral is dedicated to St. Menas, the patron saint of Heraklion, and replaced an older, smaller church next door. The church’s construction was interrupted by the Cretan Revolt of 1866-1869, an attempted revolt of the predominately Greek population of Crete against Ottoman rule, which resulted in an Ottoman victory and a period of economic fallout from the conflict. The church was completed on the eve of the Cretan insurrection, which resulted in the independence of Crete in 1898, which became unified with Greece in 1908 and was formally recognized internationally as part of Greece in 1913, after the First Balkan War. The church is clad in stucco with marble accents, including quoins, decorative trim surrounds at the windows, marble balustrades, marble cornices with brackets, a marble base, and marble columns, with a red terra cotta tile roof, a dome at the crossing of the naves and transept, half-domes above the apses on the rear facade, and two campaniles at one end of the church, both of which feature clock faces. The church’s interior features decorative murals, tile floors, roman arched stained glass windows, stone trim, decorative woodwork, vaulted ceilings in the sanctuary and narthex, decorative stone columns, and a beautiful stone altar. The church today is the largest and principal Greek Orthodox Church of the island of Crete, and stands on a large plaza in the city center of Heraklion.
Need to replace toilet.
The medicine cabinet is handy, but perhaps replace with more modern version. There is lots of wasted space above toilet which could be used for storage.

When adopting a daily skin cleansing routine, it is important that one takes care of the skin under the eyes. Chemicals in the water, our personal care products, and environmental irritants, can cause severe damage to the skin under the eyes because the skin is very thin in this area.

this is the old ramp before Rebuilding Together of the Triangle built a new ramp for one of my neighbors. One of the home's inhabitants had taken a couple of bad falls and was happy to get a new ramp that was up to code. The area nonprofit received funding from Lowe's for the materials (Durham, NC 2011)
