A tribute to fellow Flickr photographers and friends.
Thank you for all the inspiration and learning. I had an amazing time over last year fiddling with photography from auto to manual mode.
And no it is not me :)
Another tribute to one of the old masters, Saul Leiter.

The twin beams of Tribute In Light shoot skyward commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in New York City. As the evening weather is drizzling, overcast with low and thick clouds, the two vertical columns of light do not reach as high in the sky and the blue hue is not as visible as in prior years.
God said “ I need someone who can hear the sneeze through closed doors, in the middle of the night, 3 bedrooms away while daddy snores next to her, who could kiss the boo-boos, scare away the monsters under the bed, clean up the middle-of-the-night accidents, and live off 4 hours of interrupted sleep-so God made a mother.
Much missed, thanks mom for all you did while I was growing up, your children and grand children miss you.
I was really sad to hear that Elvion and its creators chose to leave their virtual worlds but I wish them the very best in the real world.
My time didn´t allow me to explore Elvion very often, but when it did, I had the most magical encounters.
Call it magic, call it true
I call it magic when I'm with you
And I just got broken, broken into two
Still I call it magic, when I'm next to you
A tribute by the BBC on the 2,500th anniversary of the battle when 300 Spartans took on the mighty Persian army at Thermopylae.
I was humbled when my photo was selected to be on the front cover on such an occasion.
"Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the beam that in your own? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck that is in your eye, but you do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to remove the speck from' eye of your brother. "
Gesù di Nazareth
"A child can take the father's nose, eyes and even intelligence, but not the soul. The soul is new to every man."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I always admire the woodland photos of my Flickr friend Alice from Finland and ICM shots are her specialty. So I at least wanted to give it a try when being in Finland. Head over to her images to see how this is done properly.
Flowers left on the step of a beach hut on the coast at Southend. Leaves me with so many questions as to who they are for. I like the bold primary colours of the hut and flowers and the sand attached to them from the beach.
In my Blocks-tessellation-serie I added each time more and more diagonals with every new model. This time I added them all, as you see.
In fact this is one tessellation, I folded it twice so you can see the back and the front both in the colored version. Only the edge is a bit different.
I call this tessellation "Tribute", because the pattern I found (independently), has similarity with the founders of tessellations Shuzo Fujimoto (Japan) and Frank van Kollum (The Netherlands).
So it's not new what I doing, I just like playing with geometrical forms, mixing them up and it's fun to do ;-))
Folded from 15x15cm kamipaper (harmony), grit 1:32 + all diagonals.

Tonight in Sydney.
Monday, 15th April, 2024.
The Sydney Opera House sails are lit up tonight with a black ribbon, to honour the victims of the tragedy at Bondi.
I travelled into the city after work this evening to capture the Opera House with its black ribbon.
The parking gods were smiling because I scored a car-space along Hickson Road, right outside the Park Hyatt Hotel (who does that?), then walked a short distance to the Overseas Passenger Terminal where, near the Quay Restaurant (closed tonight, I noted) you get a great vantage point looking out across Sydney harbour to the Opera House.
But then, I returned to the car, to hear on the news that in western Sydney tonight there has been another mass stabbing. Good grief - what is going on? This time a Christian priest and multiple worshippers were stabbed at Christ The Good Shepherd Church, in the western Sydney suburb of Wakeley (near Fairfield).
Unbelievable, given the events at Bondi just two day's ago.
Anyway, back to the black ribbon. It was, I thought, I grand tribute to those who lost their lives on Saturday at Bondi.

I repost this today because it was Dean's favorite place to be,
and therefore the photo he liked best from my photostream.
Thanks again, Jon Herb, for letting us use your very moving words, I'll Be There. The aptness was unbelievable. Hugs.
Exposing for the highlights on a sunny day. Avoiding the horrid news. Slightly desaturated in the center of the thistle.
Thanks for looking. Staying reasonably sane by wandering around outdoors for as long as it takes. 2020?
A tribute to the victims of the Kyoto Studio attack. The pencil is free to draw whatever it wants,now.

"A Wordless Text, Light on Water"
by Louise LeBourgeois and Steven Carrelli

This drawing was made collaboratively by a remarkable Chicago based artist couple. The drawing brings together their respective practices in a whimsical image that speak (for me) of the tenuous existence of someone like Temma (the indirect subject of all of the works in this project).
This is one of the 23 works in the upcoming enigmatic group exhibition titled "Deposition: Drawn" at North Park University. Opening reception on February 14 (Valentine's Day!) 4:30 - 6:30 and running through March 9.
This exhibition is an unusual mash-up of my work as curator (primarily as gallery director at @npuchicago ) and my work as an artist (particularly work that is related to my most frequent subject, my daughter Temma). I sent each of the participating artists a unique prompt which was for me somehow related to Temma. The participating artists then made a drawing related to their prompt. They also developed an accompanying text / title for the drawing. And then they sent that text to me along with a high resolution scan of their drawing.
Check out Louise's work here:
and Steve's work here:
After my colleague (whom i have loved but who was so hard to deal with) has voluntarily ended his life three weeks ago at the library, it is almost unbearable to go there.
I don't know how to work again in this place, where we had so much good and so much bad times together.
Is it possible to overcome this?
Since then, time is standing still.
