"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn
looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night..."
Allen Ginsberg, poem "Howl".
A.Ginsberg is considered to be one of the leading figures of both the Beat Generation during the 1950s and the counterculture that soon followed.
I have decided to show how A. Ginsberg (performed by James Franco in the eponymous movie) reads a fragment of the poem, San Francisco.
LE SCALE
Le scale
questi ansanti tabernacoli bianchi
marmi sui quali gli umani
pavimentano l’anima.
Scale fatte d’aria
dove non ruotano i venti.
Scale adorne
che separano i ferrati dai lenti.
Scale in stile gotico, apostolico
che non portano a Dio
né alla sacralità dell’Essere.
Scale intime, abissali
sotto boschi
dove urlano i corvi.
Le scale
questi penosi tabernacoli bianchi
dalle antiche radici di ferro
che non danno colore
non spargono odore
a chi stringe più in alto lo scettro.

I felt like building some more micro scale T-formers, so I decided on Shockwave. Consists of 30 pieces and transforms from robot to tank without adding or taking away parts.
Cappella Bizantina
Chiesa di San Nicola dei Greci, meglio conosciuta come la Chiesetta dello Spedale in quanto pare che, durante il regno borbonico, questa fu trasformata in ospedale per offrire cure ai meno abbienti. Originariamente, la chiesa era parte integrante di un monastero bizantino, ma oggi ne rimangono solo pochi ruderi, all’interno dei quali sono rimasti intatti gli affreschi della cappella principale dell’antica chiesa bizantina, nei quali è ben visibile l’effige di San Nicola.
I've been wanting to take pictures of my teeny tiny Silverbeam ponies for a while now :) they are perfectly 1:4 scaled. I hope the colors on these turned out okay, I edited them on my laptop and its a color gank :/
I never realized how many interesting buildings and views there are in the town I live in until I seriously started to scout around for backgrounds.
The one thing I have to do is wait until the shops close so there aren't any cars or trucks mixing in with the Elgin Park vibe.
Usually early in the morning or on the weekends is the best time.
The Holidays, though, are great because everyone leaves town so the streets tend to be empty.
When I was young, I would purposely take walks by way of short cuts and back alleys to avoid seeing people. It gave me the impression that I was the only person around.
But I must add here, I liked the fact that I could walk by an open window and hear a radio or a muted conversation, or off in the distance I could hear a train rolling by.
How interesting that decades later I would be photographing such scenes.
I know, I know, perhaps I should see a therapist. Actually I did but there were no inroads made on this particular subject.
Just think, if there were, Elgin Park might not exist!
Now that's a scary thought.
