The inscription on the Tennessee Historical Commission marker (seen above in the lower right corner of the photograph) reads:
Built in the 1830s, the Shipley Barn is one of the oldest structures in Putnam County. A uniquely preserved example of half-dovetail notched log construction, it was built by master craftsmen for Abraham Buck, a leading Upper Cumberland pioneer and prosperous farmer. Acquired from Dr. Michael Shipley, the structure sits on the Tennessee Technological University farm. Shipley's family was the last to use the barn. Today, it is used as a working facility by university agriculture students.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

A Surrealistic Walk through Tubes & Spheres with "Nuclear Power"
Atomic Age & Technological Progress
"The story of the Atomium is, above all, one of love, the love that the Belgians have for an extraordinary structure symbolising a frame of mind that wittily combines aesthetic daring with technical mastery. The appearance of the Atomium is unusual and unforgettable. It has a rare quality of lifting everyone’s spirits and firing their imagination."
Diane Hennebert
- Atoms Magnified 165 billion Times -
The balls are arranged like a school chemistry set to represent atoms in their crystal lattice,except these are 165 billion times bigger.
Faith in Progress depicted on 9 iron crystal interconnected spheres representing atoms.The diameter of each sphere is 18 metres and they are connected by tubes with escalators and lifts.
It was dreamed up by the engineer André Waterkeyn and the spheres were fitted out by the architects André & Jean Polak.
The Atomium,102 metres high,was the main pavilion and icon of the World Fair of Brussels (1958),commonly called Expo 58.
It symbolised the democratic will to maintain peace among all the nations,faith in progress,both technical and scientific and, finally,an optimistic vision of the future of a modern,new,technological world for a better life for mankind.

Now,that the Inter-Net has invaded our lives, and our cell phone is an extention of our hand,the world is smaller and more connected.
Bill Gates says that the Internet is becoming the Town Square for the Global Village of tomorrow.
Everything lives on line now.Technological progress frees and then enslaves us ; it's an unruly tool for helping humans and for destroying them at the same time.Artificial Intelligence develops at the speed of light,it makes me feel that we are very close to an entirely Synthetic Human.Are we any closer to such a life of freedom and bliss?Are we eventually served or enslaved?
I find Nassim Taleb's words truly wise : "The difference between technology and slavery is that slaves are fully aware that they are not free."
The Fourth Industrial Revolution will be powered by Soft and Hard Skills.News Innovation is moving faster than ever.

Due to a technological advances photography nowadays cannot be considered the unconditional documentation tool and photographer isn‘t anymore a necessity for it to happen. Thanks to such tools like satellites, drones, street view, etc., it‘s not even necessary to get on location to capture it. As a consequence, every landscape photograph can be considered just a senseless digital record made by someone.
Despite being a visual mark, artificial lightning in landscape photography becomes a sensual link between the viewer and photographer.
I wanted to visit the spookiest places in my city and convey the atmosphere of explorations through the totally different approach.
Project ‘Been there’ explores the industrial periphery of Vilnius at night. A series of photos depict the intersection of time and space, which is very intriguing yet so scary for a random person to explore. The red light, creating the surreal, cinematographic plot is used to hyperbolize the senses that are triggered by those places. Vibrant light becomes a visual expression of the mental state that I was accompanied by while wandering around totally alone.

The former Broad Street Church of Christ is located on West Broad Street in Cookeville, Tennessee. Jeremiah (Jere) Whitson donated the property where the buildign was constructed on October 17, 1907. Joe F. Scott and William M. Smoot, builders of the Putnam County Courthouse, completed the new church building in 1908. The construction material is brick and stone, with the wire-cut brick coming from Scott's brickyard in Cookeville. However, the Broad Street Church of Christ was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places (and added on February 1, 2002) under Criterion A for its significant contribution in bringing a higher educational institution to Cookeville. So, in the spring of 1909, with their church completed, the Church of Christ congregation laid the groundwork for the planning of a new college. Fundraising and lobbying efforts, as well as the obtaining of land for the college, all came from the hard work and dedication of the members of the Broad Street Church of Christ. These efforts to establish a college in Cookeville were rewarded when a charter was secured from the state on November 18, 1909 that created the University of Dixie or Dixie College as it came to be known. Over the next 5 to 6 years, Dixie College (and the associated Bible College) experienced financial difficulties and temporarily ceased operation. At this time, Mr. Jere Whitson (the President of Dixie College at this time) joined forces with the State Superintendent of Education, S.H. Thompson to draft a bill for a state normal school in Cookeville. Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was created on March 27, 1915. Governor Thomas C. Rye signed the bill with Jere Whitson at his side. Mr. Whitson even bought the fountain pen for the momentous occasion. Tennessee Polytechnic Institute encompassed all of the original twelve acres donated by Jere Whitson for the University of Dixie and at last was successful. (Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was elevated to university status in 1965, when its name changed to Tennessee Technological University.)

Luna and Grinelda spent hours exploring the shops, trying on outlandish outfits, and marvelling at the technological wonders on display.
“How do I look in this?” asked Grinelda.
“Totally over the top!” laughed Luna.
In the next shop, Luna tried on a magnificent spiked helmet imported from Saturn.
“This should protect me from any falling meteorites!” she quipped.
Never one to be upstaged, Grinelda quickly assembled a glittering outfit that would turn heads at any fashion parade.
“Now come on Luna, admit it. Am I not the most glamorous grandma in all of Moon City?”
“Of course you are, Grinelda,” replied Luna, giving her a big hug.
Further down the street, they came to a shop filled with fashions inspired by the cave luminata. Luna tried on an outfit that changes colour according to your mood. As the helmet touched her head, everything turned to pastel shades of pink and mauve.
“It matches your aura, Luna dear!” said Grinelda
“And it even makes my hair turn blue!” giggled Luna.

The Wishing Tree
2019
“We hope, despite the technological complexity, that the piece invokes a simple and beautiful feeling: the wonder of nature and humans working in harmony, the possibilities we can achieve together when we share knowledge and wisdom, and the awe of life itself.” Symmetry Labs
The Wishing Tree, created by the San Francisco-based collective Symmetry Labs, is a unique site-specific installation that pushes the boundaries of art and technology. Here, the highly sophisticated man/computer-made design intricately meshes with the lushified natural environment and reflects the ‘urban oasis’ curatorial theme within Rosemary Square. By day The Wishing Tree offers shade and resembles an ancient 26-foot-tall banyan, and by night, the monumental light sculpture reveals a spectacular visual experience. A total of 100,000 individually programmable, full-color-spectrum LEDs create the light embedded in 10,000 leaves. The lighting algorithm is inspired by the fluid behavior of South Florida’s inherent weather systems. Community of all ages and backgrounds will be captivated by the myriad of swirling and undulating patterns formed by the refined palettes. All are invited to gather around The Wishing Tree rooted in the very heart of Downtown West Palm Beach.

“Totalitarianism is not a historical coincidence. In the final analysis, it is the logical consequence of mechanistic thinking and the delusional belief in the omnipotence of human rationality. As such, totalitarianism is the defining feature of the Enlightenment tradition.” ‒ Mattias Desmet
Totalitarianism is a product of the Enlightenment tradition. It places faith in human rationality. It’s a belief system in which man’s intellect can save man, the world, and the universe. Man will solve man’s problems, thus bringing salvation to mankind. Its priests desire to form a new society built on rationality. They want a world without pain and suffering. They even want to conquer death. Science, man’s new religion, has its own creation story. In this story, man has been reduced to particles that interact according to the laws of mechanics. Life and mankind were randomly produced without any purpose or direction. Man is seen as a machine; he works (repetitively) as a machine; he will merge with machine. The universe is also a machine, and it too will eventually be manipulated. The spiritual elect of this religion look forward to an artificial heaven on earth, where man and nature have been replaced by perfect technological clones. Once this happens, man will have conquered both man and nature. He will then gain eternal life. He will synthetically live forever. “Amen and Hallelujah!” shout the transhumanists. As a result, the totalitarians will have realized their goal of a superman/super race like the New Soviet Man/Aryan Race. The idolatry of science, which aims to create a perfect world, will ultimately result in a dystopian nightmare. Their rationality will become irrational. Secular humanism will fail.
“Man is at last becoming aware that he alone is responsible for the realization of the world of his dreams, that he has within himself the power for its achievement.” – Humanist Manifesto I
With science came technological advancement. These advances separated man from nature, tradition, and family. The industrial revolution changed the social fabric of society. Before industrialization, most families lived in rural areas and did agricultural work. The family worked together to support itself. Multiple generations lived together in the same area. Extended families were an important part of society. After industrialization, many families moved to urban areas and did manufacturing work. They became cogs in the machine, working meaningless jobs. This movement split up the extended family unit. Then there was one: the nuclear family. “The dynamics of industrialization contributed to the rise of single-parent families. Factors such as increased divorce rates, the normalization of out-of-wedlock childbirth, and the empowerment of women to raise children independently all played a role in this shift.” As you can see, the nuclear family has not fared too well. Technology produced the radio, television, and social media, which have created an antisocial society. Technology was supposed to make life easier; it was supposed to make us happier, yet it has made us lonely and unhappy. Society has lost its meaning. People come home from meaningless jobs, only to live meaningless social lives online. Wolves chase after those separated from the herd, because they are easy targets. When the isolated are rounded up and killed, no one will fight for them because they are isolated from the herd. Those who are alone and isolated will be seen as useless eaters by their enemies. “To keep you is no gain; to kill you is no loss.” Indeed, a lonely society is very prone to accepting totalitarianism.
The Enlightenment was supposed to empower us, yet we have become more powerless. The Enlightenment was supposed to make us more independent, yet we have become more dependent. Plus, technology is controlled by the few. With science, a perfect artificial world is being built. It’s creating a fake Garden of Eden that is full of genetically modified foods, lab-grown meat, sex dolls that look like Eve, and synthetic-fiber clothing to hide our naked bodies of sin. Don’t eat the genetically modified fruit, it will kill you! Automated machines, robots, and artificial intelligence will replace man’s toil. Artificial wombs will replace the pain of childbirth. The digital paradise being constructed dehumanizes us. It steals our humanity. It makes us insecure, unempathetic, narcissistic, apathetic, cowardly, lonely, and isolated. An insecure society is less resilient. An insecure society is easier to control. An unempathetic, narcissistic, apathetic, and cowardly society will look the other way when people are rounded up and killed. A lonely and isolated society is weak and submissive. They feel empty and meaningless, and they have little self-worth. Such a society yearns for direction and authority. They are weak and lazy and want someone (the state) to take care of them.
We have a dumbed-down society. The education system teaches us how to be cogs in the machine. Mass media is a giant propaganda machine, indoctrinating the masses. The ignorant zombies have been trained to listen to the experts. These experts lead the sheep with twisted data and statistics. Thus, the people are easily led. Safety: give up your freedom of privacy to fight terror. Misinformation: give up your freedom of speech to fight hate speech. 15-minute cities: give up your freedom of movement to fight climate change. Mass immigration: give up your culture for multiculturalism. Abortion is women’s health. Euthanasia is good. By the way, how many genders are there? Society has been molded and shaped. You have been taught what to think, not how to think.
“I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.” ‒ John D. Rockefeller
Students have been indoctrinated and radicalized by feminism, gender theory, critical race theory, and decolonialism. The goal: abolish women, gender, race, borders and nations. All hail the tranhumanist new world order! The youth are taught that capitalism is bad and socialism is good. They’ve been taught to hate their own country, traditions, values, and culture. They’ve been taught to hate their own race! Humiliation is a tool of control to shape and guide them. If a person loses their identity, they can be easily manipulated and brainwashed. Our youth have been taught that a communist revolution is necessary to overthrow capitalism. The end justifies the means! Therefore, radicals in the education system have raised up an army of woke activists. These woke evangelists have been poisoned by envy, hate, and bitterness. It doesn’t help that subversive billionaires are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into supposed ‘organic’ protests, which are being organized by professional protesters (communist agitators). Wokeism is the new puritan movement of today, with its moral values and commandments. These born-again socialists preach the dialectic gospel of social(ist) justice and equality. These radicalized saints promise a perfect world. A radicalized society is prone to accepting totalitarianism. In fact, it’s extremely prone to accepting totalitarianism. Especially when the youth are radicalized!
“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.” ‒ Vladimir Lenin
Science, the religion of the day, has become corrupted. Fraud in scientific research is increasing. Falsified scientific papers are becoming more and more common. The perception of reality can be steered by crunching numbers in any desired fashion. (Climate change data is famous for distorting numbers.) Totalitarians mold the perception of reality with propaganda. The COVID-19 hysteria, with its “follow the science,” was proof of its degeneration. People blindly became disciples of the experts. Their apostles commanded: Mask up, even though it’s ineffective! Social distance, even though it’s useless! Take a PCR test, even though it’s unreliable! Take the vaccines, even though they haven’t been properly tested! Ivermectin is bad, even though it can help some patients! The population must be locked down, even though it’s physically and mentally bad for their health and weakens their immune system! Herd immunity, what’s that? Small businesses must be shutdown, even though big corporations like Walmart can stay open! Schools must be shut down, even though the average age of death is 70+ years old! Fire the unvaccinated healthcare workers, even though the emergency rooms are supposedly full and short-staffed! TicTok nurses! Dance, baby, dance! We’re in a pandemic, can’t you see!?! Falsely mark down unrelated deaths as COVID deaths—beef up those numbers! Big numbers, big money! Since this is science, we must suppress opposing ideas! Science that censors different opinions is not science. Much of society faithfully trusted the science, with its religious experts and scientific doctrines, numbers and graphs. In Nazi Germany, children were conditioned to accept any form of authority without question. Without question, many people blindly obeyed the COVID restrictions. To this day, some people mask up in public. They are religious zealots! They still haven’t woken up from their indoctrination. The science of today: take a big pharma flu shot, rather than rely on your own immune system; take a big pharma flu shot, rather than eat foods that are high in antioxidants like vitamin C. Could you not just find a natural vitamin C supplement? Nope! We love big pharma! We love big corporations! We love Big Brother! We love fascism! Since you’ve been trained to be a consumer, you’ll consume what has been marketed to you. Oh, the science of propaganda! Ah, the science of marketing!
“Scientism has remained to this day one of the strongest Gnostic movements in Western society.” – Eric Voegelin
During COVID-19, people were not only begging for totalitarian measures, but they were applauding them. They wanted strict rules to ease their uncertainty, fear, and insecurity. They coped with their insecurity by running others down. The big bad enemies were not the Jews, but the unvaccinated. Fear needs an enemy! People were calling for the unvaccinated to be rounded up. Some even wanted the unvaccinated killed. This made them feel more secure, like they had the upper hand. They had the camaraderie of the mob; they felt like they belonged! The extra rules helped ease their anxiety. They felt more in control of their fear. The fellowship of the mob helped to further ease their stress and insecurity. There is security in numbers! They rebuked, denounced, and excommunicated heretical friends and relatives who strayed from the holy narrative. They felt righteous, because they were supposedly fighting for a righteous cause. This made them feel virtuous. They were crusaders for the truth, and they felt heroic! They felt relief as they took out their frustrations on their enemies. They blew off steam! They felt good! They felt energized!
These people had an authoritarian mindset. Their true selves, their true natures, came to the surface. They had a mob mentality. They had a pack mentality. These people were so filled with fear, hysteria, and panic that they could not think straight. They lost their ability to calm down and think things through. They could not regulate their fears and emotions. As a result, they could not think critically. How can one think critically in a panic? In fact, since they were taught to be cogs in the machine, they weren’t really taught to be critical thinkers. Just as a child must learn how to walk, a child must be taught how to critically think. They were taught to solve problems related to the machine, but they were not taught to think outside the machine. That is why they say things like: I support free speech, ‘but’ not hate speech. They don’t even understand how speech operates under the framework of free speech. They literally can’t understand the concept of free speech! It’s over their heads. Will these people ever change? Nope, I’ve yet to see any of them apologize for their actions during COVID. Given the right crisis, our society will accept totalitarianism.
Big government, with its increased bureaucracy, administration, and management, loves to make ever-increasing rules and regulations. We are drawing closer and closer to totalitarianism. We will soon have a totalitarian system with digital biometric IDs, central bank digital currencies, and social credit scores. We are becoming a total surveillance society. Our data is being collected, tracked, analyzed, and sold. COVID caused a worldwide hypnosis, a mass hysteria, in which the masses were ready to trade their freedoms for safety. Nothing much has changed. The world’s population is slowly being boiled like a frog; it’s slowly being corralled into a worldwide authoritarian system. Like Nazi Germany, many today would pick totalitarianism if they were promised economic solutions in a time of financial hardship. If we had another great depression like the 1930s, many in our decadent society would pick a totalitarian system. They would choose digital IDs, CBDCs, and social credit scores if they could receive universal basic income to feed their families. Is it really a stretch to see why people would accept the Mark of the Beast?
In the fourth industrial revolution, man will physically merge with technology. Of course, this technology is supposed to make man smarter and healthier. It’s supposed to turn man into the perfect superman. How can the imperfect make the perfect? Man is an imperfect sinner. He has sinned against God. God is perfect, and sin is imperfect. Perfection and imperfection do not mix. Righteousness and sin do not mix. Light expels darkness, God expels sin. God’s punishment for sin is death. God will permit sinful man to utilize his strength and rationality to attempt to work out his own salvation. Ultimately, man will fail. Christ will return to stop man from destroying all life on earth at the battle of Armageddon (Matthew 24:22). Jesus will destroy those who, in their sin, are destroying the earth (Revelation 11:18). Jesus first came as a sacrificial Lamb for the atonement of sins. The second time, Jesus will come as a roaring lion to destroy His enemies. His enemies will choose His imposter, the antichrist. They will accept the transhuman Mark of the Beast. As a result, they will forfeit salvation. Only in Christ (the perfect sacrifice) is sin forgiven. Will you accept His salvation? Or will you try, in your sin, to work out your own salvation?
Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him, and he with Me.”
"In a technological age, to be sure, any proposal to bracket the world of artifacts will inevitably sound suspect, as a nostalgic romanticism longing for a return to a simpler world that never was—and not without reason. There is something disingenuous about Thoreau's retreat to Walden Pond, a condescending self-righteousness which becomes painful when Thoreau propounds his alternative life-style as a model to the Irish laborer John Field, condemned by his lot to drudgery. Count Tolstoy's self-conscious imitation of his muzhiki tends to ring false as the false low ceiling of hand-hewn beams which he had installed in one of the chambers of his palace to create the illusion of a peasant izba. It is not simply that few of us would wish to entrust our bodies to the medical treatment of, say, mid-seventeenth-century medicine or our safety to an army equipped with muzzle-loaders—though no one who ever had to submit to on-the-spot medical treatment or watch Soviet tanks rolling into his country could possibly wish either. High technology is indeed irrevocably a part of our way of life. We could surrender it only at a high cost not simply in luxuries, but in genuinely human values like health and freedom."
—Erazim Kohák, The Embers and The Stars

My little nephew struggling with the usage of our modern day cell phones.
Nikon D90, even though once undoubtedly a world class technological pioneer, cannot be included anymore among DSLRS technology front line ... Just by casting a glance at contemporary DSLRs features one may easily get overwhelmed by the striking differences ...
Many a time I considered exchanging it with a newer, more advanced model ... Yet with every photo I take using it, I postpone our technological "divorce" ... It's that Nikon D90 is so unbelievably good at what it has been designed to do, such an amazing, trustworthy, resilient, productive piece of photo equipment hardware ...
I devote the above seen capture, taken at Paranesti village of Drama's prefecture, North Greece to all Nikon D90 owners and technological lovers ... The bridge lies over Nestos river, whose flow can barely be seen at the right lower corner of the synthesis ...

I know there isn't anything 'technological' in this photo, but technology was required to make it, and it does contain the most powerful kind there is: imagination. Think about it, if there was no imagination in the world, we wouldn't have the cool things we have today. :)
So, with this picture, it turned out quite different than I originally planned when I went to shoot it. It was rare foggy morning, and I knew I wanted to take advantage of it. I drove around, and remembered that I thought of an idea on a previous foggy day, invlovling a swingset. That idea is totally different from what you see, but I really like how it morphed into what it is. :) I feel like it's something different for me, especially with the editing. It's hard for me to change the colors of a photo, but I knew I wanted something different for this. All in all, I'm happy with this. I know it's not my best, but it's a step in a new direction, and that's what I want. It's the only way I can grow as an artist. :)
Also, I'm having a sale! Anyone who purchases an 8x10 print or larger, gets FOUR free prints! Two 5x7s, and two 4x6s. :D Shoot me a message if your interested! The sale was going to end on Dec. 10th, but since I didn't get to tell you guys sooner, you have until Dec. 14 (won't arrive in time for Christmas, but at least you get the free prints! :D )
Oh, and I'm moving to a new apartment this week!

Located on the campus of Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Tennessee, Henderson Hall was nominated for the National Register of Hisrotic Places under criteria A & C for its local architectural and historical significance. Designed in 1931 by Benjamin F. Hunt of the architectural firm of R.H. Hunt and Company (with offices in Chattanooga and Dallas), the building is a fine example of Georgian Revival design. Henderson Hall housed the first engineering school of Tennessee Tech University and has been in continuous use as a classroom since it opened and is an important part of the educational facilities of the university. As one of the few pre-1935 buildings left relatively unaltered, Henderson Hall is representative of the architectural and historical
development of Tennessee Technological University. In 1982 the original wood windows were replaced with identical aluminum ones but the building has undergone few other alterations and maintains its historical & architectural integrity. When Henderson Hall was constructed in 1931 it was first called the Industrial Arts Building. Later called the Engineering Building and, then in 1960, it was renamed Henderson Hall in honor of James Manson Henderson, the first director of the university's School of Engineering. Eventually, the engineers moved to new structures, and Henderson Hall became the home of the English, History, and Political Science Departments and continues today as the home of the College of Arts & Sciences.
Henderson Hall was added to the NRHP on November 7, 1985. All the information above was acquired from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be found here:

Due to a technological advances photography nowadays cannot be considered the unconditional documentation tool and photographer isn‘t anymore a necessity for it to happen. Thanks to such tools like satellites, drones, street view, etc., it‘s not even necessary to get on location to capture it.

Despite being a visual mark, artificial lightning in landscape photography becomes a sensual link between the viewer and photographer.
I wanted to visit the spookiest places in my city and convey the atmosphere of explorations through the totally different approach.
Project ‘Been there’ explores the industrial periphery of Vilnius at night. A series of photos depict the intersection of time and space, which is very intriguing yet so scary for a random person to explore. The red light, creating the surreal, cinematographic plot is used to hyperbolize the senses that are triggered by those places. Vibrant light becomes a visual expression of the mental state that I was accompanied by while wandering around totally alone.

La sofisticada mirada de la Trilería.
El despiste y el engaño junto con la sofisticación de las nuevas tecnologías, las telecomunicaciones, las redes sociales, la triangularización de datos y movimientos, son utilizados por las nuevas "Trilerias." para crear nuevas ficciones argumentáles y vacíos económicos virtuales que nos conducen a la mayoría irresponsablemente a laberintos existenciales de supervivencia indigna.....
