You never know when "upcycling" something will result in a museum-grade collectible artifact.

Printing silk maps to help lost people escape quietly is rather clever. Also, 'escape and evade' should be the name of my anti-social cosmetics line/tips/style.

'The Observer view on Pope Francis’s comments on a world at war' is a solid read, using facts and figures to point out that 'the West's' awareness of violence is up, but violence here is down. Our perception of the world being a scarier and more dangerous place has more to do with the news cycle than reality. That's a timely reminder.

This brief article notes that autonomous home and road-use (vehicular) robots have an extensive range of needs to help them navigate the environment. This could play out into conflicting ways: first off, homes and roads may be designed not for human comfort, but for the effective functioning of robots. Next, the same environment may be purposely designed to fool those robots should they become a threat, such as during times of war.

Either way, the needs of robots will be considered in both interior and other environmental design projects going forward.

The difference between the makeup of the intern populations between the two major US political parties is truly striking. I'm a Green, but want to note that this image from the Dems makes me smile. #usa

"In 2010, during a London Assembly planning and housing committee meeting, Jenny Jones, from the Green party, said: 'It has taken us eight years to negotiate with More London so that we politicians can do a TV interview outside our own building.'"

Can you imagine your free speech being constrained because of property privatization?? Can you imagine how much worse it is if you aren't actually even in the government, as this speaker above is?

{I've been to the park in this photo, and had assumed it was public... but now realize may have been chased away had I stayed "too long" or had not been wearing office clothes.}

Penny Red is great!

Penny Red is great! It's lovely to hear a young woman describe the difficulty of living in a society where women are supposed to suppress their best selves and most important work to instead dote on men (who are allowed to maintain external priorities without having their value questioned). A thoughtful essay. #love #lifeswork #beyourbest #pennyred

My {former} photo club has organized an exhibit of contemporary cyanotype photograms!

My {former} photo club has organized an exhibit of contemporary cyanotype photograms!  For those of us who work in photograms, seeing work of this scale in a gallery show is a pleasant surprise.

This review of the show is from a local public television station.  The comments about the impermanence of cyanotypes seem a bit hazy, and likely relate more to using natural bodies of water to complete the chemical reactions than about the otherwise excellent stability of cyanotypes.

(This is also an encouraging step for SF Camerawork, which had often seemed to prefer conventional color work and portraiture.)

Here's my July 2015 Budapest photoset. It is almost entirely (a) the Hungarian Parliament building or (b) images of the Danube at night.

In 2015, I went to Budapest on business!! I'd never been that far east from home before. Budapest is a lovely city with scorching hot summers and extensive tourist infrastructure; it was a relief to speak English, because Hungarian too complex to learn spontaneously!

I'm trying to reconcile the photo collections across my devices, and realize that I still haven't shared images from back in 2014. I'm catching up, slowly...

I've already shared many photos of Basel, so here are just a few favorite snaps from this particular visit.
