A creek on the Timbarra Plateau, New South Wales - habitat of the Stuttering Barred Frog (Mixophyes balbus).
While normally inhabiting rainforest, at higher elevations the Stuttering Barred Frog also occurs in heathy montane woodlands and open forest where it breeds in brisk flowing streams. I found several individuals calling from this section of stream, and this was the first time I had encountered this species in habitat other than rainforest.
"Shields is a talented writer, and in Dead Languages he explores fertile themes with intelligence and verbal energy."--theNew York Times
From the moment his mother tries unsuccessfully to coax him into saying "Philadelphia," Jeremy Zorn's life is framed by his unwieldy attempts at articulation. Through family rituals with his word-obsessed parents and sister, failed first love, an ill-fated run for class president, as the only Jewish boy on an otherwise all-black basketball team, all of the passages of Jeremy's life are marked in some way by his stutter and his wildly off-the-mark attempts at a cure. It is only when he enters college and learns his strong-willed mother is dying that he realizes all languages, when used as hiding places for the heart, are dead ones.
"As touching and funny a rendering of adolescence as The Catcher in the Rye. . . .Dead Languages speaks to everyone who has ever struggled to articulate an emotion and failed to find the words."--Library Journal
"An astonishing and mordantly witty tour de force. David Shields, a virtuoso of the written word, manages to make the halting, self-conscious agonies of his stuttering hero into a metaphor for all our disjointed, doomed attempts at self-definition through connection. He has transcended his subject and written a book that will touch everyone who has suffered over the inadequacies of speech to sustain life and love."--Lynne Sharon Schwartz
David Shield's other books are Remote, A Handbook for Drowning, andHeroes. His stories and essays have appeared in the New York Times Magazine,Harper's, Vogue, Details, the Village Voice, and Utne Reader. He lives in Seattle, where is a professor of English at the University of Washington.
He stood there, ash stuttering off the short cigarette left in his right hand, staring ahead. All the roads ordered him away. All the doors were either closed or brandished with "do not enter" signs and sinister red lights overhead.
All but one.
All but the door in front of him, staring him in the face. He'd gone against all the arrows and signs thus far to find the entrance among exits. He'd been bathed in red lights across the city for this moment where he could let the emerald green rain upon him. He'd found a way, but he didn't go in.
No.
He stood there, the dead cigarette withering in his right hand, staring ahead.
Too easy. Not yet. Maybe there's more.
Thoughts sparked and raced around his head as he confronted the end that he'd sought with such endeavour for so long.
Halfway down a slope between buildings and windows and doors and offices and cabinets and lines and arrows and walls and fences and wheels and poles and so much more; jacob looked behind him and for the first time in a long time, did as a sign said.
See? Three! Sorry for the stuttering image in the panorama. People were moving as I panned the camera.
stuttering (2003 - 2013), an award-winning work, sees movements triggering a multitude of previously invisible buttons projected on the wall. If you move quickly the piece is saturated with a cacophony of visual and aural noise; if more slowly, you can experience individual phrases. The piece asks us not to interact, but to perform embodied listening.
the library project is a project creating a subtle dialogue about the issue of giving,lending and taking.as most of my pieces have a lifespan of a stutter in the street (either because of collectors or weather or the street cleaners), i thought i would try to embrace it and play around with the circumstances. before placing the pieces on the surface, i wrote(for the first edition, but later came up with alternate sentences) "i let you borrow my heart for a while,let others borrow it as well", and then placed the piece over the writing,covering it.
the pieces in this series are applied with double sided tape (which can be easily removed) with some unpeeled scraps of tape on the cardboard left for the borrower to replace anwhere.i think its great if someone wants to take it home, but it raises the conflict of the fact that its in the street for the art to be shared with the people using it.therfore, whoever dispatches the piece can replace it in it original location, or even better, a new location,making him/her part of the arts existence and making it even more part of the collective reality than it was before.
nothing we can't solve so just relax.
Am I on the wrong train, love,
And will I have to tie you to the tracks.

This is my 1956 Regula Cita! I love this camera, it was my first film camera. The stamp on my wrist is from Cube, a Canberra night club I really adore!
Laetitia, you destroy me, so I can see why I feel so lonely
when you and me could be forever perfectly perfect together.
I know.
Broken down in my dead bedroom, stuttering to pictures of you.
I`m sure that you can always see me.
I saw you staring through the TV last night.
So I`ll leave my door open all night, in case you decide you want to stop on by.
Because you got to know who`s been singing that song on the radio.
The one that goes...
My friends all call me crazy cause I stay up late anticipating,
and planning for the day I sweep you off your feet, I`d never leave you alone.
Laetitia, you got my hand shaking,
I`m begging you to please stop breaking my heart
because I got the feeling that you and I will never really get it on.
So I`ll leave my door open all night in case you decide you want to stop on by.
Because you got to know who`s been singing that song on the radio.
The one that goes...
Girl, come to me.
The only broken-hearted lose you`ll ever need,
or I`ll be left alone forever with my magazine

This cross-stitch panel was created by my mother, Della Jean Charlton. An inscription in her hand states that it was worked in the Summer of 1941 while living at 5215 Decarie Blvd., Apt. 15, Montreal and a Google search shows the building sharing a wall with the Snowdon Theatre. This jives with my memory of my parents telling me that they could hear the sound track of movies through the wall and if the audience were laughing, they knew it was worth going next door to watch the movie.
The illustration and text have been worked in cross-stitching and the colours are still quite strong indication that it has not bee exposed to much harsh light.
The message was part of the Christmas Speech to the people of the British Commonwealth by King George Vl. The King suffered a severe stutter and his fight to overcome this problem was the subject of a 2010 movie titled The King's Speech.
