The patron god of writing, thinking and learning was Thoth, the moon deity. His name means ‘the one of the ibis’ and he could be depicted as an ibis or a man with an ibis head, possibly because the curve of the beak resembles the crescent moon. Sometimes, he was also depicted as a baboon holding up the moon. The Greeks associated him with Hermes, and eventually with Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary inventor of writing.

Hieroglyphs: Unlocking Ancient Egypt
(October 2022 - February 2023)
For centuries, life in ancient Egypt was a mystery.
We could only glimpse into this hidden world, until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone provided the key to decoding hieroglyphs, allowing us to read this ancient script. The breakthrough expanded our understanding of human history by some 3,000 years.
Marking 200 years since the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs, this major exhibition took visitors through the trials and hard work that preceded, and the revelations that followed, this ground-breaking moment.
Hieroglyphs were not just beautiful symbols, they represented a living, spoken language. From romantic poetry and international treaties, to shopping lists and tax returns, the hieroglyphic inscriptions and ancient handwriting in this exhibition revealed stories that are fantastically varied. As well as an unshakeable belief in the power of the pharaohs and the promise of the afterlife, ancient Egyptians enjoyed good food, writing letters and making jokes.
The show charted the race to decipherment, from initial efforts by medieval Arab travellers and Renaissance scholars to more focussed progress by French scholar Jean-François Champollion (1790–1832) and England’s Thomas Young (1773–1829). The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, with its decree written in hieroglyphs, demotic and the known language of ancient Greek, provided the key to decoding the ancient signs. The results of the 1822 breakthrough proved staggering.
Using inscriptions on the very objects that Champollion and other scholars studied, this immersive exhibition helped visitors to unlock one of the world’s oldest civilisations.

Portrait of a Writer on his way to work while he walks past the posters of movies already made with scripts not nearly as compelling as his.
This was shot with my d200 and a 35mm lens (60mm equivalent) - f10 and exposure time of 1 second. I had a vivitar flash to my left shooting through a 2x3 foot vertical softbox at full power illuminating the subject at an angle of about 75 degrees and then a second flash at chest height shooting almost directly towards the subjects left side at 1/2 power - hence the shadow cast over the left Borat.
The background is a 6.5 foot tall plywood wall that blocks off an abondoned lot and is always covered in big movie promotions. It's located on Wilshire Blvd in West Los Angeles...

It rained, poured, then rained again. We braved the weather, joined the queue that snaked around Fort Canning, tiptoed through the mud, roughed our voices and sacrificed our shoes. All these for an amazing concert by The Script.

You'll have to imagine the music of the Ohio State Marching band, the "best d_ _ _ band in the land."
Tucked in the corner of one of the busiest roads of the city , this store is over 100 years old. The titles of these vernacular scripts for local theaters or puppet shows are quite interesting to say the least. For me translating the titles to English and still maintaining its original flavor is quite an ask !
