Catcetera did that one! The distictive T gives it away! Its in Carolinian Miniscule with Rustic Roman Capitals. Too bad my camera isn't the best but at least I got a shot that showed the scroll itself. Again I wish I could remember who received it.
I also like it when I know both the person who created said scroll (On the left) and the person who received said scroll.
Rabbi Martha Bergadine with Torahs rescued from New Orleans synagogues and taken to Beth Shalom Synagogue in Baton Rouge. I was at Sabbath services on Saturday, Sept. 11, at Beth Shalom and wondered where the rabbis were -- Rabbi Bergadine's husband, Rabbi Stanton Zamek, is the leader of the synagogue. She's executive director of the Baton Rouge Jewish Federation. Officials with the New Orleans and Baton Rouge federations, escorted by deputy sheriffs from Baton Rouge, rounded up the Torahs from Reform and Conservative synagogues that morning and drove them back to Baton Rouge. They showed up right after services were over. The Torahs followed several forays by federation members and off-duty deputy sheriffs in search of Jewish residents who had been reported missing. In more than half the cases, the reported people weren't there, but other, non-Jewish flood victims were rescued and taken to safety. Many of the Torah scrolls were taken to Houston, and later returned to their congregations. Two weeks after the Torah rescue, rainfall from Hurricane Rita collapsed the roof at Beth Shalom, flooding its sanctuary and most of its building. Its Torahs were not damaged.

Eine Performance von Hunter Reynolds
In Zusammenarbeit mit Goran Tomcic
Mitwirkende: Goran Tomcic | Rik Mayda | Frank Merz | Marcelo Alves
Seit 1999 hat Hunter Reynolds über 25 "Mumifizierungen" in ganz Europa und den Vereinigten Staaten durchgeführt. In Verbindung mit der aktuellen Ausstellung LOVE AIDS RIOT SEX II in der Neuen Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK), Berlin, hat Reynolds die "Survival AIDS Mummification Transformation" performt.
Diese seltenen Performances sind körperlich und emotional zermürbend und gleichzeitig inspirierend - sie evozieren sowohl Wiedergeburt als auch Wiederauferstehung. Seit über zwanzig Jahren nutzt Reynolds Fotografie, Performance und Installation, um seine Erfahrungen als HIV-positiver schwuler Mann auszudrücken. Bei der Gestaltung der Mumienhaut wird er mit Goran Tomcic zusammenarbeiten.
Goran Tomcic ist ein Künstler und Schriftsteller. Er wurde 1964 im ehemaligen Jugoslawien geboren, ist kroatischer und US-amerikanischer Staatsbürger und lebt und arbeitet derzeit in Berlin. Er hat einen MA in Curatorial Studies vom Center for Curatorial Studies am Bard College (1996). Seit 2000 stellt er seine Kunst international aus und ist Empfänger des Pollock-Krasner-Stipendiums (2007). Seine Gedichte und Kunstkritiken wurden seit Mitte der 80er Jahre international veröffentlicht.
Hunter Reynolds ist bildender Künstler, AIDS-Aktivist und Mitglied von Visual AIDS Artist. Er war ein frühes Mitglied von ACT UP New York und war 1989 Mitbegründer von Art Positive, einer ACT-UP-Affinitätsgruppe zur Bekämpfung von Homophobie und Zensur in der Kunst. Reynolds' Arbeiten beschäftigen sich mit Fragen der Geschlechtsidentität, der politischen, sozialen und sexuellen Geschichte, mit Trauer und Verlust, Überleben, Hoffnung und Heilung. Einige seiner bekanntesten Performance-Projekte sind "The Patina du Prey's Memorial Dress"; die Dokumentation über Reynolds Memorial Dress war Teil von LOVE AIDS RIOT SEX I (nGbK, Nov 2013 - Jan, 2014), "The Drag Pose Series", "Blood Spot Series" und "Mummification Series". Er hat an großen Performance-Projekten wie "The Banquet" mit Chrysanne Stathacos und "I-Dea - The Goddess" mit Maxine Henryson mitgearbeitet.

"Kunst war schon immer eines der Mittel, die ich eingesetzt habe, um mich selbst und andere zu heilen und Ordnung in das Chaos meines Lebens zu bringen, indem ich nicht nur die Geschichte durch die Kunst erzählte, sondern mich selbst im Prozess des Schaffens verwandelte, indem ich sie nutzte, um mein Leben neu zu gestalten, Hoffnung und Schönheit zu finden und den Wunsch, lebendig zu sein." - Hunter Reynolds –

As some of you may know [1], I'm having a small solo photographic installation at the 1600 E Olive Way Starbucks starting Thursday 3 April 2008, running through the end of the month.
It's a collection of transportation images from Taipei. No blue trucks, though. They don't work hot in black and white.
While it's small, this has been a great year for my development as a photographer. I've had photos in two books and now, two installations - with one of them being just my work.
If you're in Seattle, come check it out. Come buy something.
This card is not my best work; I'm way out of practice with graphic design! [2]
[1] After getting very excited phone calls from me last week. Heh.
[2] While making this, I kept wishing I had QuarkXpress 2.0 because I can use it really, really fast (a holdover from using it at a daily newspaper on deadline).

Twenty-eight boats and ships are depicted on the river, which meanders through the entire length of the scroll.
Ethiopic scroll dated to the 19th century. It contains a figurative depiction of the Trinity and an image of God or Jesus surrounded by the heads of Angels. The text itself is a collection of prayers against evil influences, such as the ‘evil eye’ and is written in Ge’ez script.

Playing with a little prop scroll I made for a photo. It wasn't really visible in the pic it was meant for, so I tossed it out into the snow and took some solo shots.

This is an artwork I did 18 years ago. It's watercolour on an entire checkout paper roll. I was fascinated (and still am) by drawing as pure creative output and spent a month or so painting this pretty much random abstraction. I had it set up so that viewers could wind it by hand from one reel to another, this reel is all that's left. I've been meaning to scan it all in and make a flash based carousel but working out just how to scan it easily is proving difficult.
