The Flickr Lounge, I is for Intriguing - street performers seen at the Farmer's Market last Saturday. I suspect they have something to do with the Green Party, an assumption based on the fact that all the main political parties were present in some shape-or-form in central Paderborn that day and this lot were using dustbins as props.

Intellectual Copyright: As of this morning I'm pretty darn sure someone has taken an image of mine without permission, possibly more than one. Despite my privacy and permission being set, from day one of being active on Flickr, so that only I can download and print my images and not allowing 3rd party sharing, etc, it still can (and will) happen from what I can tell.
The insult added to this injury is the fact that this person actually contacted me enquiring about buying a print of this image. I'm participating in a public forum for myriad reasons, but having my pictures misappropriated is not one of them. Not impressed!
Day 318 / 365. Bland no more! My stark white living walls are now crimson! (the Benjamin Moore color name... personally I think it's more of a rust color). I'm not sure what the statement is actually, other than I'm done with white walls!
can you tell what the personal statement this picture means? because to me its a fairly clear statement. I'm pretty psyched about it.
maybe this one isn't as clear at stating it. I'll find something else to put up shortly...
spoiler alert:
I can shoot full frame now, & to me, subject aside, I can tell its full frame. It has killed me for so long when I see those shots where it just has that full frame look, & I don't think cropped has ever fooled me once. Taken so many images I'm fond of with cropped & will continue to shoot with the 7D, but this 6yr old camera is behind the times in so many depts, but I got ff, & I got it for a fantastic deal. Had decided against it, that I need to put the small bit of invest-able cash I had into something that would bring a return on my investment, & with video / band needs, a camera JUST so I could have ff images? Well, think it will earn its keep in stills world. Its a whole new world...
What it does: Normally you want your bra to be unobtrusive, but there are those moments when a gorgeous bra is just meant to be seen. For those occasions, it's smart to have a gorgeous, eye-catching bra, whether it's with sexy straps, beautiful lace, or a pattern that really pops.
When to wear it: Underneath sheer tops where the idea is that your bra is visible. Or depending on the venue, it can even be worn on its own as a bustier or bikini top.
When to replace it: This bra, even if inexpensive, can be seen as an investment and should ideally be one you can keep your whole lifetime, just as you do the clothes you wear on top of it.

The Epistle of Simon to the Infidels: Chapter 6
When I left London, I told myself that the Emirates were both a literal desert and something of a cultural one too, and that I would be giving up lazy weekend afternoons in art galleries. That later statement is true up to a point, but I was wrong to think that I was entering a cultural desert.
Last weekend was a long weekend; the Prophet’s Birthday more or less coincided with mine, so Sunday was a holiday. Despite that I spend part of the day at work as there were things that needed to be done. My boss’s wife, who is over from the UK phoned up to say that, as part of a series of talks linked to the forthcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, there would be a lecture that evening by Jeff Koons and Anish Kapoor. It was an open event: all we had to do was turn up, and if there was space we’d get in. So off we went, arriving at the Emirates Palace [that will be a whole separate chapter after I’ve been back with my camera] at about 6:20 for a 6:30 start.
In London one would probably have had to sell one’s Grandmother simply for a chance to enter a lottery for tickets to such an event, but in Abu Dhabi we could stroll in 10 minutes before the start and secure seats about 2/3 of the way back, settle down, and enjoy the show.
Jeff Koons was very much the supporting act. He treated us to a brief history of his work accompanied by what sounded to me like an awful lot of post-rationalisation. Early works were said to be influenced by Nietsche, Kirkegaard, and American door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen. A baseball in an equilibrium tank represented a womb evoking past, present and future. A mess of play doh was supposed to give us a “sense of Freud”... A lot of it was an ‘omage to Duchamps. And so it went on. Much of it was great fun, but I was left with the feeling that that’s just about all it was. I was left feeling that I had nothing whatsoever in common with Koons’ cultural references, and wasn’t that bothered about it.
And then on came Anish Kapoor. He also gave us a brief history of his work, but there the similarities stopped. “I have nothing to say as an artist” he said, “I have no message for the world”. And he then went on to describe his earlier work with colour as a “wish to dream” where process became ritual. He talked about “the sublime”, about mystery, Heaven and Hell without any references to religion but how humans approach spaces and objects they don’t quite understand. He showed us how slights of perspective could create real sense of wonder. He told us that “the landscape is to be listened to”. And then he showed us some of his latest works, which he described as “somewhere between shit and architecture”. It was heady stuff delivered to us by a man of apparent modesty.
Ultimately an uplifting evening that proved to me, if I needed proving, that I should grasp the opportunities for everything that comes my way here.

Foundation stone 12 Oct 1870 by John Hart, architect Daniel Garlick, opened 12 Jul 1871 on land purchased from W Lewis, lecture hall added 1874. The two-storey Soldiers Memorial Hall opened 18 Oct 1929, renovated 1936. The Institute had been founded 1858.
“meeting of the Kapunda Institute was held at the North Kapunda School. . . [The Chairman] briefly stated the progress of the Committee in forming the Institute, and read the financial statement. . . a small balance was yet required to enable the Committee to start the institute clear of debt in the new building, which is now almost ready for use. . . remind the members that they had so far got up the Institute themselves, with very small aid from any person out of Kapunda. It was essentially the Institute of the mechanics, miners, and labourers of Kapunda.” [Advertiser 7 Aug 1858]
“Kapunda Literary Institute. . . in the North Kapunda Schoolroom. . . their first half-yearly report, the Committee fed that they have reason to congratulate members upon the position which the Institute has reached. . . The new reading-room is completed, and is open for the use of members every evening. . . The shelves of the library now contain 3304volumes of books. . . A variety of local and English periodicals and newspapers are regularly received. . . a lecture every month. . . resolved that chess be allowed, but that the players find their own men and board. . . the Institute be open from 1 p.m. to day subscribers.” [Register 17 Dec 1858]
“Kapunda Institute. . . For years gone by the Institute Committee have had sundry disadvantages to contend with — not the least of which was the carrying on operations in premises altogether too crabbed and confined to allow of their efforts being successful. In the old days the Institute in Crase street was unapproachable in wet weather, save by daylight, and the very hours when its reading room should have been most fully occupied was the precise time when it was next to impossible to reach it. In those days Kapunda was not blessed with a Corporation, or the way of approach would doubtless have soon been made passable. As it was, however, it was a matter of congratulation when the Committee transferred their scene of operations to Main-street, in which premises there was far greater accommodation so far as regarded the reading-room; but the building was not suitable for carrying out the other agencies which equally with the mere circulation of books are necessary to the attainment of the objects at which the Institute aims.” [Kapunda Herald 14 Jul 1871]
“The history of the local Institute in Kapunda has been such a chequered one, the interest manifested in it by those for whom its advantages were principally intended has been so small, and no many things have tended to impede its successful progress, that the Committee found it rather difficult to realise that on Wednesday the foundation-stone for a new, commodious, and elegant structure was really laid. . . The land was purchased from Mr. W. Lewis for £159, about five years ago, and the present erection will only be the front part, the larger building — the Hall — being a work left to the future.” [Advertiser 13 Oct 1870]
“Although it had become common to speak of the great event of the day-as laying the foundation stone of the building, we need hardly say to our readers that this is hardly a correct term, that stone having been most unostentatiously laid some weeks back by Mr. J. P. Moyle, and the superstructure being already erected thereon to above the ground level. The stone with which Wednesday’s ceremonial was connected was a splendid large freestone block forming one of the corner stones at the principal entrance, a freestone of a beauty of grain and colour not to be surpassed in the colony.” [Kapunda Herald 14 Oct 1870]
“The formal opening was arranged to take place on Wednesday. . . The programme opened with a torchlight procession. . . The torches and bearers, of which there were 150, starting from three points in Mildred-street, Mr. Schramm's, South terrace, and Clare-road, met at the junction, where the 15 lanterns were in waiting at 8 o'clock; then marched along the Main-street, and turning back to Hill-street drew up in front of the Institute.” [Register 14 Jul 1871]
“The building consists of a basement and ground floor. In the former is included a large room. . . with two class-rooms. . . and a store room. On the upper floor is the reading-room. . . and the library. . . the remainder of the space is occupied by a Committee-room. . . Only the front of the building has been erected, but the design was drawn to include a spacious and handsome lecture-hall at the rear.” [Kapunda Herald 14 Jul 1871]
“Kapunda Institute. . . the bare walls of the reading-room are now becoming gradually covered with mounted maps and plans of the counties of South Australia, of Victoria, and of some of the chief places in Victoria.” [Kapunda Herald 11 Jun 1872]
“The Entertainment Committee of the Kapunda Institute has now purchased a very nice piano for the use of the Institute which arrived yesterday.” [Kapunda Herald 5 Jul 1872]
“some dozen members of the Kapunda Institute have resolved to purchase a piano, to be placed in the smoking room for their own especial use. If this company obtains a piano, there will then be two instruments in the Institute, which speaks well of musical proclivities of its subscribers.” [Kapunda Herald 3 Sep 1872]
“the first of their series of entertainments in aid of the fund for the erection of the Kapunda Institute Lecture Hall.” [Kapunda Herald 4 Oct 72]
“A Philharmonic Society has been organised and affiliated to the Kapunda Institute during the past six months, with a roll at present numbering 43 members and an average attendance of 28. . . The Literary Club has just completed a very active session. . . Its roll now numbers 50 members, and the average attendance has been 17. . . arrangements have been made for classes for the study of the following subjects:— Chemistry, Latin, Greek, German, English, Logic, Mathematics, and Vocal Music.” [Kapunda Herald 4 Feb 1873]
“not many years since, when the Institute occupied Mr. Batten's premises in Main-street, it was felt by many that the then Committee did a very foolish and risky thing in venturing to undertake the erection of the new Institute in Hill-street. . . Encouraged by their past success, the Committee at once determined as soon as possible to carry out their original intention of erecting a large Lecture-Hall. . . The Hall is built of stone from Mr. McLaren’s quarry. . . The dressings round the outside of doors and windows are of freestone from Mr. Baker's quarry on the Clare-road.” [Kapunda Herald 8 May 1874]
“The work of renovation of the Kapunda Institute premises has been commenced by Mr. S. March and Mr. W. Buxton. The hall is to be re-colored throughout, and doors and windows are to be painted. All the doors on the premises are to be made to open outwards, to facilitate egress in the event of fire.” [Kapunda Herald 20 Nov 1908]
“Kapunda Institute. . . it was decided that all returned soldiers should be admitted as honorary members of the Institute for one year.” [Kapunda Herald 13 Jul 1917]
“The proposal is to extend the main hall, add to the buildings, and alter the name to the Kapunda Institute and Soldiers Memorial Hall. The additions will make the hall a fitting repository of any photos, pictures, flags, and other relics of the late war, and will also include a room for the use of returned soldiers, who will be made life- members of the Institute.” [Kapunda Herald 26 Mar 1920]
“The question of making alterations and additions to the Kapunda institute as a soldiers' memorial has been so long in abeyance that some people had the opinion that the scheme was defunct.” [Kapunda Herald 6 Jul 1923]
“After many years, the carrying out of the scheme to enlarge the Kapunda Institute is to be an accomplished fact. . . The main hall will be enlarged by carrying it back to the wall at the rear of the present stage, a new stage will be added. . . A storey will be added to the front portion of the building, and a room there will be supplied for the exclusive use of returned soldiers. Extra accommodation will also be built for picture purposes.” [Kapunda Herald 19 Apr 1929]
“It is about ten years ago since the idea was formed to enlarge the Kapunda Institute, and at the same time to make it into a Soldiers' Memorial Hall. Although at the outset the scheme received a fair amount of support, for various reasons enough money was not forthcoming to complete the proposed scheme.” [Kapunda Herald 25 Oct 1929]
“Kapunda. A concert was held in connection with the re-opening of the Institute and Soldiers' Memorial Hall. . . A street carnival was also held.” [Advertiser 26 Oct 1929]
“Kapunda Institute and Soldiers' Memorial Hall . . . improvements recently effected by transferring the library to a larger room, and the purchase of a large number of new books for circulation. . . To celebrate Centenary year, a drive is being made to repaint and decorate the main hall. . . The installation of 75 upholstered chairs, and the laying of matting in the aisles.” [Kapunda Herald 7 Aug 1936]
“At the annual meeting of the subscribers to the Kapunda Institute and S.M. Hall on Friday evening of last week, it was announced that the institution was now free of debt.” [Kapunda Herald 14 Feb 1946]
“A grand ball will be held in the Soldiers' Memorial Hall at Kapunda on October 30 in aid of the War Graves Appeal.” [Advertiser 18 Sep 1953]
“R.S.L. . . Kapunda Sub-branch . . . will hold a Diggers' ball in the Kapunda Soldiers' Memorial Hall. Dancing 8.30 to 1.30. Supper, novelties, 5-pleee dance band, three vocalists, floor show. Admission, men 7/6; women 6/.” [Advertiser 14 Apr 1954]

The kid driving the Volvo was having a conversation with a guy on a motorcycle. Either discussing the statement or the speed.
After running focus groups with several representative populations in Corona, Queens, on the effectiveness of potential adverts promoting Immigrants, we hung our first two bus ads with the following statements: "I came here to be an American" and "Made by Immigrants", paired with a shot of the Brooklyn Bridge in front of the Manhattan Skyline. They were accompanied by the trademarked slogan "IMMIGRANTS ARE AMERICAN" , and the following statistic:
Legal immigrants make up 43 percent of the total work force in New York City and account for more than $200 billion, or 32 percent, of the city's economic activity. (thanks to Rachel Pedderson for her research on this benefits of Immigrants to the USA for this, and many other revealing statistics)
The idea for running an Immigrant Promotional Campaign came from our June 5 session at Immigrant Movement International. The "I came here to be an American" slogan came from our session with the Corona VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars), and "Made by Immigrants" came from Immigrant Movement International's April 3 Slogan Writing Workshop independent of our project. Thanks Tania and Ali and the gang at IM Int'l!
The initial problems submitted to the Ghana ThinkTank that spurred all of this were included "Oldtimers are racist to newcomers" (collected at Corona Plaza) and "I am becoming a minority in my own neighborhood" (collected near "Spaghetti Park"). When we delved deeper into the reasons behind these issues, we learned that they primarily dealt with more established residents of Corona taking issue with the newer Immigrants in the community.
Similar issues with police harassment, families and relationships being broken up by deportations, and the hiring and non-payment of immigrant workers were also submitted to the Ghana ThinkTank in Corona, and resulted in a series of solutions from our think tanks intended to ease or highlight misunderstandings and inequities regarding immigrants in Corona, Queens.
