My children had this “monster tub” of chalk and I was contemplating it one day, as you do. On impulse I grabbed my Polaroid SX-70, popped a close up filter on it and photographed the chalk from above. Looking at everyday objects from different perspectives often produces interesting results! / The polaroid borders have been cropped from this shot.
Using an effect I found in Photshop Creative, here is my Art Inspired by Song Pink Cadillac by Bruce Springsteen. You may think I’m foolish / For the foolish things I do / You may wonder how come I love you / When you get on my nerves like you do / Well baby you know you bug me / There ain’t no secret ‘bout that / Well come on over here and hug me / Baby I’ll spill the facts / Well honey it ain’t your money / ‘Cause baby I got plenty of that / I love you for your pink Cadillac / Crushed velvet seats / Riding in the back / Oozing down the street / Waving to the girls / Feeling out of sight / Spending all my money / On a Saturday night / Honey I just wonder what you do there in back / Of your pink Cadillac / Pink Cadillac
Photograph: SX-70 Time Zero Manipulation. Once a year each chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers (A.S.M.P) holds their “Object Show”. The show really only has two rules, that the medium be photographic and that the object for the year be present in the photograph. The object in question the year I entered was an umbrella. This piece is the result of a collaboration between myself and my model, Damon Griffith of the Bullseal Collective. The Bullseal Collective is/was a performance arts groups in Pittsburgh that I was associated with in the mid to late 90’s. The group perhaps was best known for their “Eides of March March” parade through the South Side of Pittsburgh. Incidentally, we took “Best of Show” with this particular piece.

A serie of selfportraits – polaroids – & all changes like a serie of masks… – layers of mine… Always the same and the always changeable… / in back of the faux-polaroid this poem of Eluard : Oeil de Sourd Faites mon portrait. / Il se modifiera pour remplir tous les vides. / Faites mon portrait sans bruit, seul le silence, / A moins que – s’il – sauf – excepté – / Je ne vous entends pas. Il s’agit, il ne s’agit plus. / Je voudrais ressembler – / Fâcheuse coïncidence, entre autres grandes affaires. / Sans fatigue, têtes nouées / Aux mains de mon activité. / - Featured in the group Experimental Photography and Editing / - Featured in the group Art And Text ** / 231 views at 23 november 2009

So the story goes, Johnny Rotten became part of the Sex Pistols the day he wore a Pink Floyd t-shirt. It had the eyes of the band members cut out and the words ‘i hate’ hand written across the top and was held together by safety pins. Personally, I think a t-shirt held together by safety pins should be a staple in everyones wardrobe. This is my little tribute to the start of punk fashion.
Portrait photography is the capture by means of photography of the likeness of a person, in which the face and expression is predominant. The objective is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Like other types of portraiture, the focus of the photograph is the person’s face, although the entire body and the background may be included. A portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the camera. Unlike many other styles of photography, the subjects of portrait photography are often non-professional models. Family portraits commemorating special occasions, such as graduations or weddings, may be professionally produced or may be vernacular and are most often intended for private viewing rather than for public exhibition. However, many portraits are created for public display ranging from fine art portraiture, to commercial portraiture such as might be used to illustrate a company’s annual report, to promotional portraiture such a might be found on a book jacket showing the author of the book.
The Fernsehturm (German for “television tower”) is a television tower in the city centre of Berlin, Germany. Close to Alexanderplatz and part of the World Federation of Great Towers (WFGT), the tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) administration who intended it as a symbol of Berlin, which it remains today, as it is easily visible throughout the central and some suburban districts of Berlin. The original total height of the tower was 365 metres (1198 feet), but it rose to 368 m (1207 ft) after the installation of a new antenna in the 1990s. The Fernsehturm is the fourth tallest freestanding structure in Europe, after Moscow’s Ostankino Tower, the Kiev TV Tower and the Riga Radio and TV Tower. There is a visitor platform and a rotating restaurant in the middle of the sphere. The visitor platform is at a height of about 204 m (669 ft) above the ground and visibility can reach 42 km (26 miles) on a clear day. The restaurant, which rotates once every 30 minutes, is a few metres above the visitors platform (originally it turned once per hour; the speed was later doubled following the tower’s late 1990s renovation).
