Before painting (or affixing a butterfly to a wall), I scrape the surface down to the bare adobe. Then I apply a sealant. Then comes gesso and paint.

The unveiling (Groundbreaking) Ceremony for the E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts at Fremont School in midtown Sacramento. Complete with performances by local groups, speeches, and tours of the work in progress. Official opening is planned for January 2016.

The expansion of residential suburbs in the 1960’s and 1970’s left our central city with stately but underutilized school facilities. Fremont School is one example - a beautiful brick and terracotta building in the Spanish Revival style on a quiet Midtown street. It had a ‘second life’ as an adult education center, which was has since been shuttered.
After much discussion and negotiation, Fremont School now is slated as the new creative home for Sacramento’s Performing Arts community. The high ceilings and large classrooms have the potential to perfectly suit rehearsal and teaching needs for the Sacramento Ballet, Sacramento Opera and Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra.
There are many technical challenges to adapting an early 20th century non-reinforced masonry building to the needs of 21st century performing arts. We are diving into these challenges with creative energy, confident that this new Studios for the Performing Arts will be a vibrant and creative magnet in the community.

Iris flowers along the river walk in Mishawaka IN. The wind was blowing and I was hand holding this shot. I used Sunny 16- 1 stop due to overcast. With the shutter speed on the Nikon F set at the maximum of 1/1000 s, I used f/8 on the NIkkor 50mm f/2 lens. The bokeh is strong but pleasing with this image. I was after the shallowest depth of field I could achieve within the shutter speed limits. I was also at the close focus limit for the lens. The film was Kodak Ektar 100.
These negatives were processed using Kodak C-41 in a Jobo drum type processor. The lab I use had a failure of their roller transport machine and used the Jobo to run this film. The quality difference is phenomenol, better color, no scratches, much cleaner negatives.

A sign of the times... I've just given away the CD player I bought over fifteen years ago because I no longer play CDs.
This former Technical School on Abbey Road, Barrow-in-Furness was built 1900-1903 for Barrow Corporation to the design of Woodhouse and Willoughby. The building contractor was W Gradwell and Co. It is listed Grade II.
This photo of Milo & me was taken at Christmastime 2005, our last one together, so it turned out. He was an amazing little dog....
Milo came into our family when he was 7 weeks old. I had no intentions of having a Jack Russell Terrier...I guess because it seemed to be the trendy or typical thing to do if you were an equestrian and I don't usually follow the crowd. My blacksmith told me one day when he was shoeing my horse, that his mother-in-law's JRT was due to have pups soon and he gave me her number to call. Not understanding why he insisted even after I told him I didn't want a pup...I held onto the number anyway.
So of course I called her eventually, when the pups were around 3 weeks old. There were 5 puppies, all of them mostly white with black markings on their heads/faces, except the largest one, who had beautiful caramel markings on his head/face and on his body. I brought my son Josh with me to see the puppies and he actually chose that one pup out of the 5 to be the one we would take, if we should decide to get one. The dogs' owner took note and tentatively held him for us in case we decided to add a JRT to our menagerie. A couple weeks later we went back to visit the pups again and the owner told us that another person wanted the same pup and offered her double the amount of money for him but she had refused the offer because she had been saving him for us. Good thing, because we had already fallen in love with him.
He was originally named "Frasier" by the breeder but Josh and I decided he should be either "Mickey" or "Milo". At that time there had recently been a movie released titled "The Adventures of Milo & Otis" which is how he thought of it, even though it was actually the cat in that film named Milo. It was shortly thereafter that someone brought to our attention the movie "The Mask" that had a JRT named Milo in it. No matter, most of our Milo's movie references were to "Wishbone" anyway. I'd no idea how popular the Jack Russell Terrier breed had become until then.
The next couple of weeks were hard to get through as we waited eagerly for the time to come and bring our new baby home. There, we had 2 horses, a Blue-Tick Coonhound, a cat, a guinea pig, a couple of chinchillas, a bird, and probably some other critters like mice or fish at the time. We always had pets of different sorts. Adding a puppy would surely be a challenge but wouldn't make that much difference in the scheme of things. Or so I thought.
Milo was from the start, a most endearing character. Full of life, personality, sense of humor, charisma, energy, loyalty, and compassion. I'd never known a dog so smart or so tuned in to the people around it before he came along. Our family went through a lot of major life changes during his lifetime. We moved far away from our home state, then again twice more. The kids grew up and left home, and he was with me through my empty nest syndrome. He really was my best friend. Ever the muse, he was the topic of a popular informative entertaining website "Magnificent Milo's Doghouse" for a few years and developed an online presence that brought him a bit of 'celebrity' status in real life dog circles.
When he was 9, he had his first grand mal seizure. I had told our local veterinarian a year prior to this event that Milo seemed to be acting 'off'. His head was tilting to the right, he was oddly twitching occasionally, his gait had become abnormal and he sometimes acted as if he had headaches. The vet didn't believe in my theory that he may have a brain tumor so he ignored it, even after that first seizure occurred. He said that it is highly unusual for a dog to have a brain tumor and that we should just wait it out and not go "chasing zebras".
One day when I was up in Gainesville, Florida to visit my daughter, I had driven by the Veterinary College there and got an idea to call them to ask for advice. I spoke to a neurologist there who after hearing me describe his symptoms for only a minute that she suspected Milo had a meningioma of his right forebrain. She told me that they could do an MRI to find out and if that he did have a meningioma that they could do a procedure called Stereotactic Cyberknife Brain Surgery to treat it. People also get meningiomas and have them treated this way but it was something new to offer it for treatment in animals.
The MRI proved her theory correct and we set him up for the pioneering treatment protocol that had only been used on about 60 animals in the world thus far. He had to go in for a CT scan as well pre treatment to set alignments on the equipment for the Cyberknife surgery. There were no incisions made. The procedure consisted of anesthesia so that Milo would not move during the treatment. The procedure is essentially a series of multiple thin and pointed rays of radiation that aim directly at the center of the tumor so that the radiation does not destroy any healthy, neighboring brain tissue.
Milo was given a timeline of 6 months' to 3 years' extension on his lifespan. He gained 9 more months. Even though meningiomas are not considered malignant, they can cause death because they put pressure on the brain, causing many other problems. A tumor on the meninges (which is the membrane around the brain that holds the cerebrospinal fluid in) grows in a spider legs like fashion which makes it difficult to eradicate completely. The thin extensions (legs) cannot be radiated successfully without damaging the meningeal tissue itself. Therefore, those parts of the tumor remain and enable the tumor to regrow after treatment.
Some patients are good candidates for secondary treatments of meningiomas but Milo was not. Even though he had the surgery, he had to remain on anti seizure meds. He had been on Phenobarbital for over a year to control his seizures and the medicine was taking its toll on his liver. The doctors switched him over to Potassium Bromide as an alternative method to control seizures, but this medicine gets processed through the kidneys. Milo had a mild chronic kidney disease since he was 2 that deteriorated further as he aged. He started on a special diet for his kidneys when he was 8, which helped him tremendously. However, the Potassium Bromide could only be a short term treatment for the seizures because of its ill effect on his kidneys. The only other option for the seizures was going back on Phenobarbital, despite the damage it had done to his liver. My hope is that there will one day be more options for treatment of seizures. Sadly, we ran out of choices for keeping Milo healthy and had to euthanize him during his last, fateful seizure.
Multiple organ failure due to the effects of the tumor as well as the medicines is what essentially claimed his physical being. But, it is his undying presence in spirit that keeps him alive in my heart. I feel so fortunate to have been blessed with him in my life for the time he could be here. He did have some times in his last year when he was not feeling well, but amazingly, considering his circumstances, he led a very active and happy life despite it all. He loved going for rides in the car, the dog parks, playing tennis, doing agility, walking, doing tricks, and having his photo taken. This photo is not the best quality, technically speaking and he wasn't giving his typical 'smile'...... but it is priceless in that Milo insisted on me picking him up to be in the photograph, even though I didn't want to on account of being in a hurry, and my dressy outfit. We were on our way out to see the Imperial Symphony Orchestra in their Christmas production when we decided to quickly snap a few photos of all of us in our fancy attire. I remember telling Milo to 'wait' while we got through the first images and then I caved in to his persistence, swept him up into my arms and got this memorable shot, thankfully.
I say, just enjoy every little aspect that you possibly can of each situation. It is true, you really never know what tomorrow brings. Don't be afraid to love completely, to give unselfishly, to be as true and real as you may be, to abandon your guard courageously, to "feel" honestly, or to be as human as maybe even your own little dog exemplifies. Life, for what it brings is perhaps bittersweet at times, but so worthy of the living! May you all be blessed at some point in your life with a grand friend like Milo :)
