Big Picture, Tim Lowly © 1997, 120" x 120", tempera on panel. Private collection, Seoul, Korea.
This painting was part of an exhibition at Art Space Seoul in Korea. It was the first of several large paintings I have made where I intentionally engaged the convention of “the big picture” as the territory of politically or religiously charged spectacle. In size Big Picture, references the painting Las Meninas by Velázquez: a painting that in itself subverts convention. In Las Meninas, Velázquez’s most important painting as the court painter, he chose to include and emphasize the representation people who were in service in the court (including himself) while relegating the king and queen to a reflection in the mirror. Implicitly, but not insignificantly the viewers of the painting are standing where the reflected royalty should (according to the mirror) be standing. In a parallel manner the painting Big Picture,’s use of a rather compelling perspective (particularly for anyone who is in the room with the actual painting) situates the viewer of the painting in the painting. Let me rephrase this latter point: the way this work is functioning is such as to place the viewer into the world of the painting. As such to the extent that the painting is spectacle it is not one that allows or encourages a passive, removed observation.
For the exhibition catalogue curator Soo-Jin Park wrote this essay.
Assistance with the production of this painting was provided by interns Dean Olson Ramos, Deborah Hendriksma and Kim So-Jeong.

El cuarto de siglo se está aproximando y he tenido bastantes charlas al respecto. En todas discutimos sobre la necesidad de crecer, la necesidad de usar tacones y pintas ijueputivas (ehem, ejecutivas) y las pocas ganas que tenemos de cambiar los tennis y los zapatos bajitos por tacones puntudos y sin personalidad y por pantalones lycrados y de rayas; al fin y al cabo, la pinta cambia con la actitud así que si toca ser ijueputivo, perdón, ejecutivo, pues a llevarlo con la calma.
El siguiente tópico de nuestro inminente camino a los 25, son obviamente las relaciones interpersonales y por ende los encuentros sexuales, ya sean furtivos o con el chico de tu vida. La conclusión de todas las charlas (y hay evidencias que lo demuestran) es que en cuanto uno va a acercandose a esta edad llega a la puerta de la casa un boleto de hornyness que lo acompañará hasta el final de los tiempos, bueno eso todavía no lo sabemos, quién sabe si la hornyness vaya hasta los 30 y pico o si solamente sea durante los 25 años o que se yo; el caso es que el 99% de las chicas (incluyendome) que estamos acercandonos, nos quejamos de la presencia de este tiquete en nuestras vidas.
Una prueba clarísima de esto es una amiga que está felizmente comprometida, y momentos previos a su cumpleaños experimentó la hornyness en su ser (varias veces) la primera vez si pasó a mayores, terminó con su chico y huyó a más de 10000 km de distancia y vivió con un chico durante un largo periodo de tiempo, después de eso como que el tiquete perdió fuerza y volvió a los brazos de su amado, después en unas cuantas ocasiones sintió la necesidad de experimentar pero su experiencia previa (la de abandonar a su chico) le hizo dar cuenta que su chico de hace mil años era al amor de su vida y por eso las tentaciones (de chicos menores y disponibles) no pasaron a mayores, ni besos ni nada pues su chico está primero y además que bobada poner en peligro una relación de mas de 7 años (otra vez), por un momento de hornyness.
En mi caso (oh por dios, aquí va una intimidad..) se manisfestó con un chico de mi anterior trabajo, él tenía como 12 años, miento, exagero, tenía como 19 o 20 años y estaba muy churro. En mi cabeza (y no voluntariamente) planeaba como cogerlo a picos en el baño y después irme sin decir nada... Habria sido el hit, pero nunca lo logré...
Esperar a ver como se comporta mi tiquete en los próximos meses que me separan de mi cuarto de siglo oficial. Igual es muy poco probable que mi cabeza über-racional deje que el tiquete que llegó a la puerta de mi casa tome el control de mi persona...
Ya veremos que pasa

From my archives comes this image taken in a moutainous town in Sicily in the early 1980s during winter. It was shot with a Nikon EL-2 using Tri-X film. Two sisters informal portrait using existing light.

I volunteer with the aviation charity Vital Flight, which flies patients with Special Needs to distant medical appointments at zero cost to them. Pilots donate their time and aircraft to achieve this. Once a year the organizers of this wonderful charity provide free pleasure ride flights to hundreds of kids with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down’s syndrome, and other debilitating conditions.
I’ve had the pleasure of documenting these events for several years now. Here’s just a few of the smiling faces that I captured from this year’s event held in May 2022.

Nikon D700, 50 mm, 1/100 sec. F/8, ISO 100, 1 SB900 with a shoot through umbrella overhead and to the right. I used the headboard to my bed as the background. I had to remove the mattress in order to have a large enough background for this as the top is just out of frame.

Die Kämpfe können beginnen zu den LM G-Judo in Köln
Here is the finest driving skills I've ever seen for a youngster. Ian knows how to motor that Quickie Mini! Plus he thinks he is Flash Gordon!
This couple had known each other for twenty years and had been 'trying' to get married for many years. Eventually their voice was heard and they were married a couple of years ago. They now live, semi-independently, in their own flat. Both work part-time and they are clearly very much in love. Fantastic....can you imagine this happening a decade ago?
This image is from a calendar I have been producing to raise awareness of Down's syndrome.

Just around the corner from a Convent, A large Church, and old CN rail station, and more old buildings, sits this gorgeous school. I would have loved to have photographed the original school.
The history of Our Lady of Lourdes school building is both unique & interesting.
Our building was originally built in 1909 was then know as St. Mary's School.
At the time of opening its doors, St. Mary's School accommodated a mix of boys and girls grade 1-12. In 1918, the boys were moved to another building in the neighborhood and this school was renamed "St. Mary's Girls School". The building was enlarged in 1958 with additional wings and continued to be a school for girls until 1979. The building was then vacated and partially used for offices of the Diocese of Calgary.
In the summer of 2002 the building was demolished, with intentions of rebuilding a new school that would resemble the original. It is told that some of the brick & sandstone from the original building were used to build our new school.
Currently Our Lady of Lourdes is a school for Grade 1-9 students with behavioural issues & complex needs. We are blessed to work in a beautiful building with such interesting history.
