13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

I made this toolbox when I was an Apprentice, over 30 years ago. I keep all my electrical & electronic tools in it, but as my collection has grown, they no longer all fit and most of the time I cannot close it. However, I will never replace it, as it is too important to me and still gets regular use.

"Toolbox" was commissioned by the Morundah Bush Entertainment Committee (MBEC), The Morundah Town Improvement Committee (MTIC), and individual members of the Morundah community to commemorate 100 years of both registered and bush picnic horse racing in Morundah.
"Toolbox" was placed here in 2009.
Sculptured by local artist Andrew Whitehead of Urana, this is his first commission piece.
Officially opened by Life Member and President of the MBEC Peter Trengrove on the 28th February 2010.

Here's my faithful upscaled version of the minifig scale toolbox, but here's the twist! Instead of classic hardware, it contains LEGO themed goodies - resembling real world tools - that I believe would be helpful for any MOC creators.

OK, surely someone would have wanted this toolbox as a Christmas gift back in 2013! With this trip back in time to that year now drawing to a close, here's another link for you: a photo of this Sears in it's post-glory days, taken at the end of January 2013. Who knew* that it would be closed for good by the end of that same year?
*Well actually, a large majority of people in this area kind of had a sneaking suspicion that this Sears wasn't really going to last much longer!

My head is still spinning from working through David Duchemin 's 60 lessons book. Unfortunately, it looks like that there is no shortcut for being able to make continuously compelling photographs. So, I scaled down my expectations and accepted that this process will be a lifelong journey. In the meantime, I even see this positive, as making photographs will never become boring due to the endless opportunities which you can discover everywhere.
Pragmatically, I structured now David's lessons in GREEN (feel quite comfortable), YELLOW (got an idea what to do) and RED (have hardly any clue, need to dig in deeper). So, don't be surprised I'll share with you my learning curve/experiences in the months to come. And as always, I highly appreciate your constructive discussions/questions about intent, composition, light, moments, improvements and the message of the photograph.
Have a wonderful day and never lose your curiosity about photography.
