Site-Specific Installation at the 2008 Three Rivers Arts Festival. The piece changed over the course of the exhibition and prints were removed for purchase. As the prints were taken away, zeros and ones in the binary code were also deleted, allowing the translation of the code to dissolve it's meaning.
These site specific outdoor sculptures were found on the sidewalk in Brooklyn, NY created by unknown groups. They contain materials choosen specifically from household objects to represent the used unwanted and decrepid. Despite the negative nature of the contents, the sculpture itself is presented as either transparent or obscured but always with the purpose of communicating an image about the community living and working within the walls behind these totems. These can include messages of prosperity, order, dispair, growth, conformity, humor and enlightenment, as well as the occasional social or cultural commentary. Their obvious aesthetic appeal and placement among contemporaries such as Gavin Turk and Joshua Allen Harris make them an undeniable voice in the dialog of waste.

A further tour to Fourvière, Lyon, France for a specific visit of l'Antiquaille on October 20, 2022. I did also a new Kodak Tri-X film with my Zorki-4K camera and its Jupiter-8 1:2 f=50 mm normal lens.
The Zorki was loaded with the Kodak Tri-X (TX) exposed for 400 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° viewfinder for selective measuring privileging the shadows. After exposure the film was processed at 20°C using Tetenal Ultrafin developer at dilution 1+10 for 9min.
Fontaine du Taurobole, October 20, 2022
Rue des Macchabées,
69005 Lyon
France
After process the film was digitalized using a Sony A7 body and a Minolta Slide Duplicator with a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.
After several films, and the range finder adjusted, I found the Zorki-4K very pleasant to use. The camera is clearly very reliable and the film smoothly advanced and rewound. I equipped the lens with a FOCA UV-protection filter (Made in France) and the hood of my Focaflex. All views are presented either framed or full-size.
About the camera :
This camera was manufactured in 1977 by KMZ company ( Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. KMZ also manufactured the ZENIT SLR's among many other productions. Zorki 4K was produced between 1972 to 1978 and the previous Zorki models were inspired by the Leica II since 1949. This model 'Made in USSR" is branded in roman characters, intentionally for exportation. Other Zorki 4K were also branded in Cyrillic as "Зоркий". Zorki 4K was sold basically either with this Jupiter-8 lens 1:2 f=50mm or the Industar lens1:3.5 f=50mm. The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar Zeiss optical formula and fits to the Zorki body using the screwing M39 Leica mount.
Its was sold to me in August 2022 from Austria with its original ever-ready leather bag, a front lens cap and a small shade hood accessory Minolta D42KA. The shade hood and filter of my Focaflex also fit to the Jupiter lens (Leica standard 42 mm filter)

Something that has always stuck with me is, "weather is the convergence of two or more fronts." That is to say it might rain, it might snow on its own, but severe weather is the result of two different and potentially harmless fronts colliding and forming a storm! The more fronts that converge, or the greater the difference in the two fronts, the worse the weather that generally results.
While Mount Washington has notoriously erratic weather, the Northern Presidential’s largely share the same weather. Generally wind gust on mount Washington are slightly stronger because of it's prominence, but if Mount Washington is being hit with 100mph winds, it's not unreasonable based on extrapolation to determine that the neighboring summits are receiving AT LEAST hurricane force winds of 70mph!
Mount Washington and the Northern Presidential’s, including Clay, Jefferson, Adams (and sub summits), and Madison weather patterns are partly due to the convergence of several storm tracks. Along with it's location relatively close to the coast, it's prominence (height above the neighboring land), proximity to converging storm tracks (Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf and Arctic), and it's north-south orientation which prevents movement of fronts by prevailing westerly winds; low-pressure systems are notoriously prone to develop along the coastline in the winter months. The relative temperature differences between the interior Northeast and the Atlantic Ocean, along with arctic fronts drifting in from Canada and beyond are primarily responsible for the diverse and completely unpredictable weather in this region.
Mount Washington holds the world record for surface wind speed, at 231 mph (372 km/h) since April 12, 1934. It's entirely possible stronger winds have occurred on earth. Specifically in F5 tornadoes which often have 300+mph winds above the surface. Winds exceeding hurricane force occur on an average of 110 days per year. During the winter months the weather on the summits of these mountains is exceptionally brutal. With hurricane force winds 2 out of every 3 days, and wind chills often dipping into the -40F/-40C range!
In 2004, the summit registered a temperature of −43.6F/−42.0C and sustained winds of 87.5 mph (140.8 km/h). The resultant wind chill was below -100F!! During 3 day period adjoining the day of this -100F wind chill, the combined ambient temperature, and wind speed, never brought wind chill above -50F at any point!
The summit of Mount Washington spends approximately 240 days per year on average in the clouds. There is measurable precipitation on the summit of Mount Washington 209 days a year. The summit sees an average of 101 inches of rain, and 259 inches of snow per year.
While these numbers might be eclipsed many places in the world in either isolated or routine instances, very few have had the continuous and accurate weather data that this summit has had. There has been a continuously operating weather station on the summit since the 1870s, and it has been a model for weather stations around the world!
Beyond the severe weather, and continuously manned and monitored weather station providing perhaps the most detailed historical and confirmed data of any mountain in the world, there is one other aspect to Mount Washington, and the surrounding Northern and Southern Presidential Ranges ACCESS!
While many mountains and ranges around the world have arguably worse weather on any given day (and I stress arguably), very few see the sheer volume of hikers, climbers and skiers that this range sees. Within the range is some of the best moderate ice climbing in the Northeastern US, as well as some great alpine rock climbs, the most accessible and reliable backcountry skiing (although the Adirondacks are a close, and less crowded second!!), and an amazing alpine experience for hikers and winter mountaineers! This accessibility has allowed many unprepared backcountry explorers to find themselves in over their heads in rapidly deteriorating conditions. The result, while again debatable, has given Mount Washington, and to a lesser extent the Presidential’s a place as the deadliest small mountain in the world!!

Interview with Ing. Michel van Rijn (President RijnPlant Breeding BV and board member RijnPlant BV)
Which nations are the main selling markets of RijnPlant in recent years? Facing the economy crisis, how is the current state of each of them?
RijnPlant Breeding and RijnPlant Sales have different markets to supply to, As a Anthurium, Bougainvillea and Calathea young plant producer, RijnPlant Breeding sells its products to over 50 countries worldwide. After Holland as our largest market, PR China, Brazil and USA are major markets . Daughter-company RijnPlant Sales is responsible for the sales of 65% of the European Anthurium pot plant production. Target markets are not only limited to western European countries, also Poland and Russia are become more and more important markets.
Over the last years we see a large increase in our young plant sales in all export countries. We are proud on this result, which is achieved with years of hard work. Important factors to achieve this result are having transparent and direct communication with all our customers. Even when we need to work with agents because of the amount of sales in a certain country, we keep the direct communication. This makes it easy for customers to get the lastest information regarding cultivation and availability of new varieties directly from our De Lier based head office. Another key point is our strategy by offering specific varieties on a area-exclusive base. This system, which we already use for years in Europe, works also very well in Asia and USA We want our customers in a country to cooperate together instead of competing, we have seen that this works well by giving customers exclusive rights on a certain variety. Our customers who have exclusive rights on different varieties do not need to compete on price. Instead, they start to communicate with each other on the cultivation skill and market trend.
When looking to the sales of finished plants RijnPlant is also giving extra services to their customers. With our cooperate brand ‘RijnPlant Group’, we use the combined power of 13 major pot Anthurium companies in The Netherland to supply a whole range of Anthurium plants, from 9-cm pots till 27-cm pots to the European retail market. To put it in a figure: RijnPlant Group is responsible for 65% of the European Anthurium pot plant production. Their production is +- 15 million pots annually and making an turnover of around 50 million Euros. With working with such a cooperate brand our growers and our own production facilities, can handle larger orders, for example make by chains of garden centres and IKEA. Several times per year our sales staff have meetings with the purchasing department of the big retail companies to discuss the choices for the coming period and to make a good strategy for the long-term. Together with retail we can discuss with flower type or flower colour will be more popular in the coming years ór with flower types we will make popular by taking control of the market in a certain way. Since RijnPlant is participating in many links of the supply chain, we feel the pressure on the market at this moment. This situation is not positive for the whole economy and for horticulture , but it is proven in the past that when you invest during the tough times, you will be stronger after it. That is the way we will fight this ‘crisis’. Now is the time to improve production and introduce new varieties. On short -term everyone wants to get stronger sales by making extra promotion. We see it as important to make both promotion to our direct customers, the retail, by giving suggestions about added value we can give our plants. Examples are the use of coloured cover pots , ceramic pots, special sleeves etc. Next to that it is also important to influence the ‘customer of your customer’, the end-consumer. RijnPlant is one of the first companies who make promotion on television in The Netherlands. Every week our products are shown in the major Dutch gardening program. Promotion on television and easy to recognize retail concepts in garden centres makes it easy for the consumer to find our products. Our sleeves around the plants and the distinctive labels attached to the pots, make clear to every consumer that it is a top quality product!
RijnPlant is a young plant supplier and also an end-product producer, does it cause the competition between RijnPlant and your own customers?
RijnPlant is started as a grower of Anthuriums many years ago. Already quickly we get involved in breeding, since the available varieties couldn’t meet our high standard. During the years we are grown to a company that is very active in the sales of young plants. At this moment RijnPlant produces +- 20% of the total European Anthurium pot plant production itself (and RijnPlant Group produces about 65%)! To avoid that we become a competitor of our customers, but also to avoid our customers compete we each other we have adopted the exclusivity system. From the point of view of RijnPlant Breeding we see all customers as equal. This means that we deal with our two production facilities the same as with our customers. They get the same young plants and they both have to negotiate with the sales manager from the sales department about new varieties, and contract details etc. All the 13 companies grow different varieties in different pot sizes, with this system they can be of an added value for each other and for the RijnPlant Group. What seems to be competitive strategy works out as a cooperate strategy!
What is RijnPlant's opinion about more and more Dutch floricultural firms invest, cooperate, and produce locally in China? Do you have the same plan for the future? Why (reasons of the decision)?
Over the past years we have seen that larger horticultural firms have experienced large expansion outside Europe. On one side these firms moved their production to Asia to produce for the European market, this especially happens with flower bulb business and seed producing industry and tissue culture labs . On the other side also sales for these companies are increased in Asia, what also have great influence on the choice of production area. For RijnPlant the last thing caused the decision to start up an own company in Shanghai, PR China. Over the last 10 years our sales in China are growing by the year and in order to offer our customers the best plant quality and the best cultivation support with a sharp price our move to Shanghai is very logical. People from outside think that only cheap labor is the driving force why daughter companies are founded in China, but it isn’t. For such a high quality product like Anthurium with a cultivation time, based on starting material, of at least 8 months, you want to give your customers good plant material and good support. In the actual case when using air freight, plants are on their way for some days in ‘less controlled’ . Next to this, our own facility will also be used as a showroom for our excising and our new varieties. Coming April, just after Horti Expo 2009 our production will start and three months later, the first Anthuriums will be send to our customers which our spread over whole China. In our opinion the move of European companies to Asia and to China in special is positive. It is a great step to present ‘Dutch quality’ products for a affordable price to markets for which our plants were (too) expensive. It is a win-win situation: better quality for grower, better price for grower, more varieties on market for end -consumers, good presentation for Dutch horticultural sector.
Can you introduce more details about the RijnPlant China to our readers? For example,
I. Will you produce pot plant end-products at Shanghai?
II. Will it involve the breeding section in Shanghai?
III. How about the technical conduct on production? Will you send staff member from Holland to Shanghai? or train local Chinese staff member by serial training program?
Already for several years RijnPlant has intensive contacts with parties to realize a company in China. Our Shanghai-based company will solely focus on the production of young plants by growing tissue-cultured plants to a larger size. It is true that we combine in Holland the supplies of young plants and in-house production of finished plants, but as said in China we will only produce for our customers. In the past, when we imported our plants into China, it was too expensive to ship larger young plants to our customers. Now we start in Shanghai, we offer the extra service of supplying young plants of bigger sizes. Next to 10-12cm high plants in 2,5cm plugs, we also offer 20-25cm high plants in larger plugs to the grower.
The breeding skills; our mother plants, the way we make crossings and the way we select novelties, are top secret. Breeding new varieties is a process that takes many years and costs a lot of efforts. We will not start breeding at our Shanghai facility, but in fact we will do intensive testing in Shanghai to ensure we offer the best novelties to our customers in Asia. It will also make it easier for growers to see which varieties RijnPlant can offer to the Chinese market.
Not only good material is important to make the best end product, also you need good people to give the plants a good treatment. For our Chinese company we have chosen to send the general manager from Holland and to select some key persons from China. The Chinese employees who will have higher functions have received higher education in Holland in order to ensure their skills and knowledge.
How much percentage of the production cost can be reduced when the facility start to produce Anthurium young plants in China? What are the main factors of reducing cost? Will the reduction also be shown on the price of young plants?
Quality is the issue that counts most. All arguments to start a company in China are given by the fact that we want to give the Chinese/Asian growers the best plant quality possible. Because of production in China we can give the young plants the same conditions like we use in Holland for growing up, but we eliminate the step of international transportation. We have learned that this transport, although executed carefully, can harm the plants especially plants of larger size. Quality has first priority, but this is also a chance to save costs for our customers. Since we have domestic production, the costs for international freight costs and import costs are eliminated which can save the grower more than 10% on his total plant costs.
What are the most popular varieties in Asia and China in recent years, and how about the amount of each variety? Can you give a brief introduction about RijnPlant's partnership in China?
Compared with Europe, Asia is a different market. A different market asks for a special strategy and distinctive varieties. Since we started in 1999 to export our products to China, we were not totally aware of this. The climate in China is not the same through the whole country, so some varies did perform very well in Guangzhou are where at a Beijing-based customer this varieties was not performing 100%. Anno 2008, we offer special for the Chinese market a range of extra strong varieties. All these varieties are trialed first at our research facility in Holland. In the next step these varieties are commercially grown at one or more production facilities in Holland to see the real characteristics of the varieties. When we are quite sure about the good performance of a variety in Holland , we will send it as a trial to Asian growers. As you can see, we take quite a time to really challenge new varieties before we send them to our customers. Like in Europe, we offer our varieties on a exclusive base in asia. All our top varieties are supplied to max. two companies in China. With this strategy we make the grower a monopolist, so make promotion nationwide himself and attract the retail to buy from him..
Though the PBR has started running in China, the illegal propagation still can be found in China. Will it affect the operation of regional exclusive right? And how is the effect of regional exclusive right strategy in China so far (reactions from the market)?
To be honest: our system of regional exclusive rights make it easier to fight illegal propagation. The last years we have tried together with other breeders to convince key parties in China that PBR is necessary in order to increase investment in China. Like for all patent-related issues, a company is working for many years on a certain project, is investing tens of thousands Euro’s in order to actually get a distinctive and unique new product. When we cannot earn back this investment, we can also not continue to introduce new varieties to the market. Our customers in China are very keen to get exclusive rights in special varieties in their portfolio. It gives them the chance to be unique in the market. The first contracts about the exclusivity agreements ended last year and all growers have asked to give us a new contract for 2-3 years. As we see now this systems works very well!
Many people think that there is a gap between end consumers and producers/breeders in Chinese floricultural field. The end-consumers do not have enough knowledge on caring the pot plant they bought. Also, it still lacks the atmosphere of “consuming floriculture products and using them in daily life” in the Chinese market. Thus, many Chinese horticulture enterprises wish to have a governmental institute which specially works on introducing and promoting floricultural consumptions. Is there any similar institute in Holland? Or what is RijnPlant’s opinion/experience on this issue?
In Holland we have the ‘Bloemembureau Holland’ (Flower Council Holland) who makes promotion for the Dutch horticultural industry worldwide. On the other side we also see that major horticultural companies are actively involved in promotion campaigns for their products. It is good to have a central institute which has a coordinating function to make promotion to the florists, retail and customers. Next to that I think that it would be interesting to copy the European phenomenon to organize ‘consumer exhibitions’ in China. Flower should be seen as part of the daily life. People are many times thinking how to design their interior with nice furniture and wall papers etc., but flower should also been seen as a part of the house interior! As RijnPlant we see this not as our primary task, but we are very willing to help our customers by making promotion campaigns and giving consultancy to them.
What is RijnPlant's opinion about the future trend of floricultural consumption in China? Is the China market attracted to RijnPlant?
Over the years RijnPlant is active on Chinese market, we see an increasing demand from consumers to specific RijnPlant varieties. What happens with cars and with clothing, also happens with Anthuriums now! When people buying a car, they never ask for ‘a red car ’, but they ask for a BMW or a Mercedes. In the market we experience the increasing demand for ‘Red King’, ‘Red Victory’, ‘Fantasy Love’ etc. just to name a few of the more than 200 RijnPlant varieties. For RijnPlant it is also important that our products have such strong names, and with specific promotion we also want to further build on these names. We need to make it easy for consumers; when they need a strong Anthurium, they ask for one of the varieties named above. The regular trend China regarding Anthurium focus on large flowering red varieties. Therefore RijnPlant has bred those kind of varieties that does well in Chinese climate and are loved by the consumers. Like in Holland we also see in China a new trend, and we hope this trend is a ongoing trend for the future to also try other colors. In Holland consumers started to buy ‘different’ colors already 10 years ago, but now we also see the change in China. ‘New’ colors for Chinese market are pink (Adios Kiss, Pink Love), white (White King, Pr. Alexia White) and orange (Orange King, Amazing Queen). Because of the conservative market it is still a big task to make growers understand these news trends so they can anticipate on it. Sometimes growers have to take a small risk by trialing new varieties and new colors, but they shouldn’t forget that.
How much does RijnPlant know about China market? Do you have some investigation about China market? If so, what is the conclusion?
For RijnPlant getting to know new markets is very important. Many horticultural companies have a R&D department for plant research, but personally I think they also do more R&D on the markets they supply to. RijnPlant started some years ago with doing very in-depth researches on markets we supply our young plants and/or flowering plants to. And already the first results made us so very excited, to get unique and very important information, that we continued that. One of our latest market research was a market analysis made of the market in China. With this research we cooperated with London Business University and HAS Den Bosch. Because Anthuriums are produced in the greenhouse, you should avoid to do all research from your desk. Like with sales and after-sales, direct communication with growers is important. Together with our staff and our agents in China, we have done many interviews among the majority of the Chinese Anthurium growers.
According to this market research, red color varieties dominate the current market as mentioned above. Most growers anticipate the selling price of Anthurium pot plants will decrease (57 %) or keep stably (36%) and the demand will increase (71%) or keep stably (29%) in five years. The trend of Anthurium pot plant size is mainly medium-size (14-22 cm) (41%). However, it is a notable result that the demand of small-size (9- 14 cm) Anthurium pot plant will be increased expectedly (37%).
On the other hand, we also have a deeper understanding about the Chinese Anthurium growers’ worry: they are very concerned about the selling prices of their Anthurium product, which is estimated decreasing in the future. Growing the same varieties with competitors and a lower quality of their own products are also major difficulties growers are facing.
Can you give a brief introduction of the development and history of RijnPlant? What is the characteristic of RijnPlant?
The initial foundation of RijnPlant was in the year 1944 when Mr. Leo van Rijn sr. started to grow vegetables under co-called cold frames. In 1968 two of the sons of Leo sr. grew total of 30.000 m2 of vegetables nearby the city of Delft. In 1975, when Leo jr. joined the company they started to grow a first 4.500 m2 of pot plants. During the following years the company has showed a fast growth to reach the current 30 ha. full with pot plants. One of the characteristics of RijnPlant being a family-owned business is the close distance between management and work floor. All of the six board members (three from the second generation and three from the third generation) have worked in all RijnPlant departments before getting management positions. They know what is going on at the work floor and keep personal touch with employees and their work.
There are plenty native plant species in China. An important issue for Chinese is developing the nature resource by breeding programs. Can you share the experience of breeding Anthurium? (how did you start it? What are the breeding goals?) Did RijnPlant consider that developing other Chinese native species of plants? Or is there any plan about cooperating with local research institutes?
RijnPlant sees and understand the value of native plant species in China. China, with its various climate regions is a centre of origin for a lot of plant families. As a breeding it is important not to forget you are working with living material. The centre of origin of Anthurium can be founded in the Latin American Andes region. We can find there a large source of germplasm, which have potential interesting characteristics that can be bred into commercial varieties. Over the last 20 years we have mastered the skills of being an Anthurium breeder very well and we have a large collection of botanical Anthurium species. Breeding takes a lot of time and efforts, at this moment we are working on new varieties that can come on the market with large quantities in +- 8 years. That 8-10 years to introduce novelties is the necessary time span for Anthurium breeding. Growers can recognize RijnPlant varieties because of their strong flower colors, quick growth, the production of many flowers and the ability to perform well in different climates.
As far as he knows, RijnPlant focuses on Anthurium and Bougainvillea. Is there any plan to start with other items in the future?
Like all companies we are always looking what other crops are interesting to do business in. In the past we had a large farm in Brazil to grow Dracaena propagation material which we exported to Holland where we sold it to the market. Over last 20 years we have become the world-wide expert in the field of Anthurium breeding and young plant production. Our cultivation process is highly automated to do the planting, replanting and sorting. From the beginning on we are committed to help our customers as good as possible and we define this good help as two factors: 1) good plant quality and 2) good services. Other crops we focus on now are Bougainvillea and Calathea . The first one is mainly sold to Europe, USA and Japan. Calathea is a crop with a very high potential for RijnPlant, our sales in Europe were very strong the last year. That strong, that we couldn’t supply our novelties to export markets. In the comings years we will be able to introduce new, own bred and patented varieties, to the Asian market. For all our business we see that it was a hard job to become the best in the market, but to stay the best in the market is even more difficult. Therefore we have chosen to keep our main focus on Anthuriums and Calathea , but who knows we will surprise the Chinese market in one of the coming years for new crops.

City Park Plan - Flower - Lake Ltd. © Vienna - specific
The Viennese City Park stretches from the park ring in the first district of Vienna up to the Haymarket in the third district of Vienna and is a of both tourists and local citizens well-visited park in Vienna. Its area is 65,000 m².
History
Yet in the Biedermeier the Water Glacis was a popular entertainment venue before the Karolinenstadttor (city gate). As part of the by the demolition of the city wall happened remodeling in the Ringstrasse, the project of a public park has been promoted on that site by the then Mayor of Vienna, Andreas Zelinka. This park was designed in the style of English gardens by the landscape painter Josef Selleny, the plannings were carried out by the city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. On 21th August 1862 the city park was opened as the first public park in Vienna.

"Wien" (Vienna River) in the city park
On the right bank of the river Wien (Wienfluss) was 1863 the so-called children's park, today mainly characterized by paved playgrounds and sports facilities, which over the Karoline bridge (Karolinenbrücke) (since 1918 Stadtparkbrücke), built in 1857, with the on the left bank situated town park is connected.
In the years 1903-1907 was in the parking area after the regulation a by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer planned Vienna river engineering structure with the river gate, pavilions and river banks built, which is one of the sights in the park.
In earlier times visitors of the park for the stay in placed chairs had to pay fees that were collected by the chair women (the so-called Sesselweiber).
Attractions in the park
Kursalon
The Kursalon
The water Glacis was a spa pavilion in which healing waters for drinking cures were served. To that affect, in the years 1865 to 1867 for the city park also the Kursalon was built according to plans of Johann Garben. This historicist imposing home in the style of the Italian Renaissanceg is located at the John street (Johannesgasse) and has a large terrace in the park:
After the opening on 8th May 1867 were originally forbidden pleasures. As this concept was not adopted, yet on 15th October in 1868 was taking place the first concert of Johann Strauss (son) whereupon became the Kursalon a popular dance and concert venue in particular at the time of the Strauss brothers. Today, the Kursalon after a renovation phase is again venue for balls, concerts, clubbings and conferences and houses a café-restaurant.

Monuments
With the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss (son) stands in the city park one of the best known and most frequently photographed monuments in Vienna. It was on 26th June 1921 unveiled and is framed of a marble relief by Edmund Hellmer. The gilding was removed in 1935 and in 1991 applied again. Other monuments there are, for example, of Franz Schubert, Franz Lehar and Robert Stolz and Hans Makart, the City Park is in monuments and sculptures the richest park in Vienna.
The dairy (Meierei)
The former milk bar was built as part of the Wienflußverbauung (Vienna river engineering structure) according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer from 1901 until 1903. After suffering heavy damages during the Second World War the building was extended in the reconstruction. Today is in the dairy after another annex a restaurant.
Planting
The planting of the city park is characterized by a great diversity of species and is, as possible, focused on a year-round flowering. Through an avenue to the ring road noise and exhaust gases are filtered. Some trees are protected, such as a ginkgo, a crown of thorns (Honeylocust, Christusdorn), cottonwood tree and Caucasian wingnut.
In this specific photo I really wanted to make you feel like you were there shooting this shot, and I think I achieved this with the reflection of the sun hitting the water and creating this sort of light flare onto the water. I didn't adjust the exposure & contrast at all. It was an already a pretty bright photo so no adjustment there was needed. I then brought down the highlights quite a bit, shadows up, whites up and blacks down. Then I added then normal etxture and clairty adjustments, finally finishing it off with adjustments to the colors.

When Robert Cremean walked through the seemingly
endless corridors of the Vatican Museum in Rome, he was
struck not only by the vastness of the place but by the
number of sculptures it contains, many of which are
neutered by a fig leaf. To him, the sculptures in the museum
represented an enormous collection of mixed metaphors and
only a rare few met his definition of “transparency.” On the
fourth page of his Preparatory Study for VATICAN
CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography he wrote:
The enclosure of one metaphor by another—one culture by
another—one time segment by another. “Paganism” is preserved
through forfeit of genitalia—neutered by a fig leaf. Miles of
historical artifacts enclosed within an historical artifact. And yet
there are a few presences that are not dead—not neutered. A few
glimpses— Man existing without metaphor. A few Transparencies.
Are these not worth the endless walk?
Within the concept “One man=all men,” VATICAN
CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography was conceived as
an actual and metaphorical record of the journey through
the life of the artist and, by extension, a projection of the
possibilities we all share and may attain. Within both of the
facing walls are ten carved life-sized figures symbolically
conjoined by arches to form a “corridor of the self. ” As Robert
Cremean wrote:
Each arch represents three years and the Corridor of Self-Analysis
begins with my seventeenth year.
It was within the time span of the First Arch he declared
himself a sculptor.
Prior to acquiring the materials necessary for the actualizing
of the sculpture in wood, he spent two months creating
the detailed preparatory study for the entire work, a process
he had followed on only two prior occasions, one for
DONOR WITH CRUCIFIXION and the other, although more
suggestive than detailed, for HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE.
From the first three pages of searching to the final pages of
resolution, the artist’s graphic description of the threedimensional
work provides us with the opportunity to read
the artist’s philosophical concepts for that specific work of
art and to understand how these concepts are interpreted
symbolically through the human figure. Since this is an
actual and a metaphorical autobiography, the Preparatory
Study for VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography
literarily addresses both.
Because each of the ten arches in the Preparatory Study
and in the completed sculpture spans a period of three years
in the artist’s life, the Tenth Arch was a projection five years
into the future and was at last updated twenty-two years
later in the writing in 1995, and with the publication by
Manuscript Press in 1996, of THE TENTH ARCH, the sculptural
Tenth Arch realized in the form of a book.
As the name implies, the sculpture is in the form of an
actual corridor. It measures eight feet tall, forty feet in length,
and with a width of ten feet. The facing walls of the corridor
are each formed by ten carved blocks of laminated sugar pine
planks for an overall measurement each of 8' x 24½" x 16".
The first figure of the Outer Wall, the “who,”is nearly fully
revealed in the round. But by the Tenth Arch, it has been transposed
into a negative, much like a waste-mold, only the egg
shape of the final transposition still in place. Block by block
and transposition after transposition, the three-dimensional
figure is displaced by a concavity as the wall that contained it
grows thicker and thicker. The reverse is true in each of the
corresponding figures and blocks of the Inner Wall. Each part
of the human figure is symbolic of a particular sense and/or
concept and with its transference the figure of the Inner Wall,
the “what,” becomes more complete.
Shown here is the final page of the manuscript which
lists the actual parts of the Anatomy of Transposition. It is
followed by the first four pages which serve both as an
explanation of the Preparatory Study and of the concept of
the entire sculpture. Each page of the original manuscript
measures 17" x 14".

More than 150 people holding signs and candles attended a vigil, organized by Centro Presente, at the Massachusetts State House to protest the arrest of 121 immigrants last weekend, primarily in Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, targeting a specific group of adults and children from Central America who arrived illegally after May 1, 2014, and had been ordered deported by an immigration judge. Although nobody has been detained in New England advocates are planning forums to educate immigrants about their rights in case of a raid.

This modified Harris Shutter Effect image generates colored "ghosts" on a black background. Things that move and other differences between three more-or-less sequential photos are emphasized while static features turn black. For this project I maximized congruency of the truck, moving around a curve, allowing the background to lose registration.

dSatellite is a site-specific architectural structure that extends the mission of DFLUX (www.dflux.org), a Detroit-based research studio and residency program, further into its community. DFLUX engages its local neighborhood and the general public with creative actions, research, and workshops. In so doing, they hope to reveal and create emergent and sustainable cottage industries. dSatellite was created with the intention of providing future DFLUX participants and local residents with an outpost to engage in various field research. Constructed with foraged building materials, dSatellite merges both the physical and conceptual characteristics of the DFLUX Residency site and a typical nature blind used by naturalists, scientists, photographers and hunters. dSatellite is currently deployed in a completely razed residential neighborhood of Detroit currently referred to as the "field" by local residents and "Renaissance Zone" by real estate developers. A dense urban forest, rich with wildlife, has grown there, only crumbling roads and alleys, debris piles, and public utilities remain as signs of past use.
dSatellite was created during a research residency at DFLUX in Detroit, MI in collaboration with Joseph G. Cruz (http://josephgcruz.com)
A further tour to Fourvière, Lyon, France for a specific visit of l'Antiquaille on October 20, 2022. I did also a new Kodak Tri-X film with my Zorki-4K camera and its Jupiter-8 1:2 f=50 mm normal lens.
The Zorki was loaded with the Kodak Tri-X (TX) exposed for 400 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° viewfinder for selective measuring privileging the shadows. After exposure the film was processed at 20°C using Tetenal Ultrafin developer at dilution 1+10 for 9min.
Jardin André Malraux, October 20, 2022

France
After process the film was digitalized using a Sony A7 body and a Minolta Slide Duplicator with a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.
After several films, and the range finder adjusted, I found the Zorki-4K very pleasant to use. The camera is clearly very reliable and the film smoothly advanced and rewound. I equipped the lens with a FOCA UV-protection filter (Made in France) and the hood of my Focaflex. All views are presented either framed or full-size.
About the camera :
This camera was manufactured in 1977 by KMZ company ( Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. KMZ also manufactured the ZENIT SLR's among many other productions. Zorki 4K was produced between 1972 to 1978 and the previous Zorki models were inspired by the Leica II since 1949. This model 'Made in USSR" is branded in roman characters, intentionally for exportation. Other Zorki 4K were also branded in Cyrillic as "Зоркий". Zorki 4K was sold basically either with this Jupiter-8 lens 1:2 f=50mm or the Industar lens1:3.5 f=50mm. The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar Zeiss optical formula and fits to the Zorki body using the screwing M39 Leica mount.
Its was sold to me in August 2022 from Austria with its original ever-ready leather bag, a front lens cap and a small shade hood accessory Minolta D42KA. The shade hood and filter of my Focaflex also fit to the Jupiter lens (Leica standard 42 mm filter)

Part of a site-specific installation produced for Constance ARI in April, 2013. Installation shot showing the large model in the foreground.
The explanation of the supposed "redevelopment":
"To coincide with Inflight’s change of name and scope, the existing gallery building at 100 Goulburn St will be redeveloped. Based on current trends in museum architecture, the humble ARI will be transformed into a cutting edge monument to rival institutions such as the Guggenheim(s), the New Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and MONA. The redevelopment will retain the building’s existing white cubic base, but will have three additional levels on top, will include the neighbouring apartment in the same building, and convert the current carpark into a concrete-paved sculpture garden.
The art museum is no longer built in the image of a Greek temple. Instead, it strives to be unique in every way, from the toilets to the shiny coloured enamel exterior. However, the features designed to create a unique structure paradoxically tend to be common to most new museum buildings. These features include bizarre angles, curved or polished concrete, confusing layout, large entrance courtyards, water features, unlikely toilets, rust, and floating or unusual staircases. The institution will encourage site-specific artworks that respond to the architecture, with art invading the lift shafts, stairs and toilets. Importantly, the ‘visitor experience’ is enhanced through the provision of a gift shop, bar, restaurant and/or café. I have identified the most common of these features and have attempted to apply as many as possible to the new Constance ARI design, with the aim of providing Hobart with (another) ‘unique’ contemporary art museum."
During the month of July, members of the Canadian Forces acted as sentries outside Government House in Halifax on specific days of the week, and on weekends, when free tours were available to the public. Through their valuable contribution, the number of visitors to the viceregal residence more than doubled those of the previous year.
On August 2nd, 2012 His Honour Brigadier-General The Honourable J.J. Grant, CMM, ONS, CD (Ret'd), Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia hosted a thank you reception for the serving Canadian Forces members.

A specific angle of the Provinciehuis Antwerpen. The building, which was finished in 2018 and houses the provincial government of Antwerp, was designed by architect Xaveer De Geyter and contains 683 triangular windows. The building as a whole has a rather unique swerving design to it, which is quite a sight, but I was struck by the seemingly (but not quite) symmetrical feel of this particular shot.

I took this photo to represent addiction, with a specific addict in mind
I have known quite a few addicts of various substances/habits and it's so, well, destructive. It ruins relationships, homes, and the lives of all around them. The worst part is not knowing what to do or how to help. If you know anyone with an addiction to anything, do not hesitate to speak up and say that you're worried and want to help. It's a long and stressful road, but do not give up. Giving up on someone who needs your help is only letting them become worse.
I made this photo sitting on my floor with some matches and a bowl of water at my feet. In case any of you didn't know, this is a royal flush-- the highest scoring hand in cards. I burned away the Queen's corner to show the King's face, because I wanted to, in a way, personify the photo and give a face to the addiction. I also cropped the photo to put his face in a certain spot to use the rule of thirds. I feel like this photo turned out really well and shows destruction-- like that of addiction-- nicely.

This photo took a few days to happen. The first day I wanted to do it, I was too full from dinner. The second day I wanted to do it, I got up before work and the pool was closed. Finally, on this day the pool was open and it was after midnight EST. So I got into the pool at night to take my photos.
It was neat to get a different type of shot at night where the only illumination was from the pool lights and/or the flash on my camera.
Since I took so many shots and I liked so many, I'll be posting some of the out-takes as well.
