Photo of a Man on Sunset Drive: 1914, 2008
by: Richard Blanco
And so it began: the earth torn, split open
by a dirt road cutting through palmettos
and wild tamarind trees defending the land
against the sun. Beside the road, a shack
leaning into the wind, on the wooden porch,
crates of avocados and limes, white chickens
pecking at the floor boards, and a man
under the shadow of his straw hat, staring
into the camera in 1914. He doesn't know
within a lifetime the unclaimed land behind
him will be cleared of scrub and sawgrass,
the soil will be turned, made to give back
what the farmers wish, their lonely houses
will stand acres apart from one another,
jailed behind the boughs of their orchards.
He'll never buy sugar at the general store,
mail love letters at the post office, or take
a train at the depot of the town that will rise
out of hundred-million years of coral rock
on promises of paradise. He'll never ride
a Model-T puttering down the dirt road
that will be paved over, stretch farther and
farther west into the horizon, reaching for
the setting sun after which it will be named.
He can't even begin to imagine the shadows
of buildings rising taller than the palm trees,
the street lights glowing like counterfeit stars
dotting the sky above the road, the thousands
who will take the road everyday, who'll also
call this place home less than a hundred years
after the photograph of him hanging today
in City Hall as testament. He'll never meet
me, the engineer hired to transform the road
again, bring back tree shadows and birdsongs,
build another promise of another paradise
meant to last another forever. He'll never see
me, the poet standing before him, trying
to read his mind across time, wondering if
he was thinking what I'm today, both of us
looking down the road that will stretch on
for years after I too disappear into a photo.
I mainly uploaded these to submit to the 'Backgrounds App' group for use for cell phone backgrounds on android devices.
if they aren't accepted, I'll be deleting them.

Debates in civil society orbit around million dollar economies when our western nations now measure GDPs in the trillions of dollars. How can the average person visualize oil company profits and the wealth of individuals in billions of dollars? Somehow we need a new perspective on money matters where a million dollars invested in a pot hole, health care, education or housing is measured in relation to a National Worth in Canada of several trillions of dollars. Once the equivalent quantity of a million dollar diamonds to compose a cube that equals a trillion dollars, they become tiny dots that no longer sparkle on your computer screen.

One of the services that I offer is remote information visualization. In the case above, I did a web conference with a client and we discussed how to present their value proposition to potential funders. I drew the ideas we touched on in our conversation as we spoke on a virtual whiteboard that we could all see. They used these visualizations as the foundation to create visuals that they could incorporate in their pitch to VCs.
These are sketches-not finished visuals. The point of these is to make sense and provide insight, not to look polished. That can come later.
I removed identifying information about the client I did this for from the visuals for the purpose of posting this publicly.

This is a scatter plot of vehicle schedule deviation plotted against time of day. Time of day is plotted on the horizontal axis with gray tick marks every hour. The slightly bolder gray line is noon. Schedule deviation is plotted on the Y axis, with three ticks, from top to bottom: five minutes late, on time, and five minutes early. There's a dense area right after noon - this doesn't represent any feature of King County Metro's schedules - it's just a region where I got two day's worth of readings. On average vehicles are about a minute late. They're rarely more than two minutes early, but it's not terribly uncommon for a vehicle to be up to twenty minutes late.
An idea, however big, is smaller than the guy who visualized it.. Some people can see the world through a shoe hole..
Wondering if the engineer who conceived golden gate bridge.. ever thought that it'd be such an iconic landmark..

Jobs begin in the MATCHING site at the far left in the image. The color-coded jobs are then sent to OSG compute sites, where they are stacked. Yellow chips on the stack are queued jobs and green ones are running. Completed jobs are sent to the DONE site at the far right. The color bar for ranking OSG sites is visible in the upper right of the image.
