8. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The included photograph is of the Landmark Hotel building in the Downtown Mall area of Charlottesville. The photograph is a time exposure taken at night. The camera used is designed to take architectural photographs. You can take photos of a building and other tall structures without getting the usual distortion (large bottom, small top, and walls no longer parallel).  It has a lens that shifts.</span></span>

12. <div>
13. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">You really need the shift lens camera to get a realistic image of the building because the only other strategy would be a telephoto from a long distance.  This is not workable in the case. There are too many buildings around it that are relatively tall.  </span></span><br />
14. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
15. <div>
16. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s a night photo, and my Son and Daughter in law helped with the camera set up. </span></span><br />

18. <div>
19. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The recent history of the Landmark has been covered by most local publishers, so I won’t even go there.  Visually, it is strikingly higher than the other buildings on the Mall, and the upper stories of the building were only completed but not the exterior framing. Most of us living here no longer see it. It’s now a background element. </span></span><br />

21. <div>
22. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">It’s on my track for coffee refills  so I often pass up the street by it. On windy nights the left over cables hanging from the higher floors make a clanging noise.  It’s eerie, maybe a bit like what a ghost ship at sea might sound like.  </span></span></div>

Flower vendors and the Charlottesville City Market.</category><title>Charlottesville City Market, Then and Now</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I moved to Charlottesville in 1979 and the City Market was already in operation. &amp;nbsp;I started going to the market in the mid 80’s when it was relatively small compared to its current size. The two tiers of upper parking were filled during the beginning of the growing season, but cooler days early and late in the season would sometimes have fewer vendors. &amp;nbsp;The picture below comes from one of those times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

30. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
31. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit-tpN687iKxEhHWgRUiQE98Q4NxdtyK1_jrQwm19YZ_S5eiN21F90EOBO168Hj5DFgZUeKd5kGZbBCqKLOKdmp7wKFc7_Ilmuu9Nlhlk66xkKRqIU_JAbqGRU3nrpcEwUXekvugoYJWr4/s1600/city+market.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit-tpN687iKxEhHWgRUiQE98Q4NxdtyK1_jrQwm19YZ_S5eiN21F90EOBO168Hj5DFgZUeKd5kGZbBCqKLOKdmp7wKFc7_Ilmuu9Nlhlk66xkKRqIU_JAbqGRU3nrpcEwUXekvugoYJWr4/s640/city+market.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
32. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The apparent model behind the cardboard background and the rolling lawn chair was that it was a “ride.” Kids that decided to take the ride got wheeled around in the cardboard “thing” with the bearded fellow pushing the cart. All the other parties contributed noises by hitting items they had or making some creative vocal sound effects. No, I can't explain this event. </span><br />
33. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
34. <br />
35. <div>
36. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The current City Market is really packed with vendors, and they spread over the road below the block now. We were looking for wildflowers (or just flowers without pedigree).  There were plenty, and we walked out with a bougainvillea in a hanging pot.  As far as food goes, you can get it to eat there, or bring it home.</span><br />
37. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
38. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year brought more food stands (at least at this point in the season) and most were selling locally grown produce. </span><br />

43. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> One of the stands we were looking for was selling early season flowers. We got enough for a small vase on our porch, and a Bougainvillea already planted in a pot with a hanger. That went on the front porch. I noticed that the sellers had someone in the back putting together flowers, as they were going like hotcakes (pictured below).</span><br />

82.  <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These photographs are of Dean Cemetery, which is within the Shenandoah National Park. It’s completely surrounded by the Park property. An arrangement between the Park and family members allows them to keep the cemetery there as long as they agree to maintain it. </span><br />
83. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s at mile marker 63.2 in the Central District of the park. The earliest birth date belongs to James Dean (born  1797 and died 1862). The range of time of the cemetery is remarkable. There are a few new stones, one  with a photograph of a couple embedded into the stone.  It’s not a small graveyard, and it’s very open, with trees cleared around the perimeter. </span><br />
84. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
85. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The process which was used to “relocate” the people living within the park boundaries has become a discussion in recent years.   The National Park Service web site has an article by Audrey J. Horning, of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=54.5841666667,-5.93472222222&spn=0.01,0.01&q=54.5841666667,-5.93472222222%20(Queen%27s%20University%20Belfast)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Queen's University Belfast">The Queen's University of Belfast</a>.  It really shows that the way the “people from the hollows” were described at the time was far from the truth.   <a href="http://www.nps.gov/shen/historyculture/displaced.htm">http://www.nps.gov/shen/historyculture/displaced.htm</a>   There is also an article by The Hook  (a Charlottesville weekly) that adds much more detail about the deals made around the creation of the park. <a href="http://www.readthehook.com/98743/mountain-folk-maligned-pork-propaganda-and-creation-cool-national-park">http://www.readthehook.com/98743/mountain-folk-maligned-pork-propaganda-and-creation-cool-national-park</a> . <a href="http://collections.library.appstate.edu/appcoll/research_aids/cfarlow02.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Creation and Dispossession: Shenandoah National Park and its Residents</a></span><br />

96. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Camellia in the front yard once again bloomed with a snowfall following the next day.  I had wondered what would explain the early arrival of the blooms, which would probably doom it in more northern areas.  Wikipedia to the rescue: the source of the plant is the Himalayas.<br /> </span><br />
97. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The photo was taken at night by leaving the camera shutter open and selectively adding light (often called painting with light) with flashlight.</span><br />

105. I was nosing around with the macro lens in the feral ivy patch below the shed (which was an outbuilding of a garage, located there many years ago), when I came across this little flower. &amp;nbsp;If you had the perspective of the flower it would have been an eerie experience. &amp;nbsp;A huge spherical glass would have broken through the clouds and leaves, and you would have seen the tiniest reflection of yourself. &amp;nbsp;Then there would have been the massive clunk noise of the shutter, like a door being slammed in heaven.</description><link>http://eddeasy.blogspot.com/2012/07/tiny-flower.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ed Deasy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYFJ5pj7N48g0u_zd9-iEu8HhLy6iuGqT-7mEbEcdbYaw2jyQIMtGrfLcln219YDv1YaiCJdT9v37HBbzWakGNFqUrEhpyHgwOJzHb9QpznOqRBsMHXjGMBDdHds2vHy8PDNvrMAxw1wXN/s72-c/tiny.flower.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691431073251717294.post-5425584267233545019</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jul 2012 01:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-07-14T06:27:23.134-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Black and White Dreams</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Charlottesville</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">economics of the present moment</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Ed Deasy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Night Photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Va.</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Walking at night as philosophy</category><title></title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

109. Lately I’ve been lurking around in the shadows, looking for night photographs. This one is beyond the exit ramp from the parking lot of Whole Foods. It’s the rear of the store’s parking lot, just off the ramp to the exit. The two walls of the building are a public face on the left, with an “alley” on the right. A car came through and left a track of lights. The radical difference between the two walls of the one building comes from the lighting. The right side is sodium vapor (warm), the left side is mercury (a small, bluish, swatch of the spectrum). Light comes from poisonous metals.  Not all light, mind ye.<br />
110. <br />
111. I’m really trying to process these so that they look close to what it looks like to my eye.  I’m a night walker; I use the exercise and the difference sense of space as a “place” to think (wonder).<br />
112. <br />
113. I tried to find an overview in Google Maps. I did, but the buildings roofs looked new and freshly painted. It turned out the copyright statement at the bottom had the image copyright date as 1994. There’s been a lot of water under the bridge since then, and there hasn’t been any money floating in it. So maybe a new-style WPA project will be painting the roofs white in all the big boxes that stretch from coast to coast.<br />

122. <span style="font-size: small;">Goodbye Vivian was taken on the long way to anywhere, Route 301, as it snakes through the infinite tidal flat lands. When this sign worked its way over the horizon, I was a bit struck by the personal tone. Surely it was for a goodbye party, or a retirement. Maybe they didn’t have enough letters to make a longer message.  There’s a song called "Goodbye Vivian" but the sign predates it by many years. It made me sad to know that Vivian had already left. I pulled in the empty parking lot, got out, took the picture, sat in the car for a while. </span><br />

130. I took this photo of a “skimmer” (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerridae" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Gerridae">water strider</a> is the proper name) in a small stream on the White Rock Falls trail in Virginia. The stream  through a hilly section divided into small pools. <br />
131.     The skimmers tended to shy away into a corner of the pool as they saw me lean in to take photos. Then, if I was fairly motionless, they would repopulate the surface slowly. The fact that they can float on surface tension, with thin “feet” is hard to really imagine. They should need tiny pontoons. The shadows of the skimmers on the stream bottom were interesting too. There were shadow circles where their feet were. The curvature of the water must have diverted the sunlight enough to cause a shadow.<br />

138. I had gone for a hike in the Skyline Drive part of the National Park, and noticed a butterfly on the trail ahead of me. It was flying low along the trail, and it landed just ten feet from where I was hiking. I had a camera with a macro lens in place, so I tried to get a shot of it as it stopped on a piece of grass. I noticed that it had something on its back near the “hinge” point of its wings. Through the macro lens I could see that it was a small spider. I took a few pictures, and then tried to brush the spider off with a twig. This wasn’t successful, as the spider evidently had a firm grip on the hinge of the wings.  Took a very close shot of the spider, and then left the two of them alone to play out the scenario. The spider in the picture almost looks like a piece of construction equipment. <br />

142. I walked up Brown&#39;s Mountain (not far from Monticello) and found that the red buds were blooming. These are small trees that are struggling between larger, more successful tree types. It was quite a visual effect. There was a heightened sense of depth, as those reddish clusters could be seen stretching to the top of the mountain.</description><link>http://eddeasy.blogspot.com/2012/03/redbuds-on-browns-mountain-in.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ed Deasy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-wIrs96HUk6mffLPgQmTmhN8F7jaf8OfB2BeBXYgRy_mxN8zOqP8onw4kdPiV_qpb5Nlt6Nu60tvoxoyNgsGKoJCbQBs67ZOcilDWjlmYwowzjBOOdCY0VMOU8aoUy6ArM8om_lg49sa/s72-c/browns-mountain-redbuds.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691431073251717294.post-9115827944946681686</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Mar 2012 00:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-03-25T17:29:06.575-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">120 Color Negative</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">120Color Negative</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Charlottesville 1978</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Ed Deasy Photographs</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Old Advertising Bil Board</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Sunbeam Bread</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Twin Lens Rolliecord Camera</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Type C Color Negative Film</category><title>Sunbeam Bread Bill Board</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

150. <span style="font-size: small;">Back in 1978 I visited Charlottesville Va. for a job
151. interview.  I brought along an old
152. Rolliecord twin lens reflex camera loaded with color film. Color film was a
153. rare experience for me at the time. I could develop my own black and white
154. film, but had to bring the color film to a camera store for development. </span></div>

157. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">               <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I just
158. came across the negatives from that trip. The interview was at U.V.A. and I
159. wandered around the campus taking a few photos, and then drove out Route 250
160. West. I came across a billboard advertising Sunbeam Bread and evidently ( it
161. was a while ago, so the negatives are a bit of a surprise to me : ) got out of
162. the car and took a photo of the sign. 
163. The Rolliecord only did really square pictures; twelve 2.25 inch squares
164. on a roll of film. </span></span></div>

168. was an odd concept in bread. It was spongy. You had to put in the grocery bag
169. last, unless you wanted flat bread.  Good

171. breakfast.</span> </span></div>

181. I was driving back to my house a few weekends ago, and, after passing over the train tracks in Charlottesville, I saw a set of large black and white photographs mounted on the panels enclosing the failed Landmark Hotel Project.  I parked and took a few pictures of the pictures.  These are all people that are active in the movement against mountaintop mining. The photographs were taken by Charlottesville based photographer Will Kerner.
183. <br>
184.  
185. Will's photographs are on alternating panels of a construction barrier at the Hotel. I was very impressed with the presentation of the portraits. These are large black and white prints, and the sense of eye contact with the subject is very strong. The consistency of mood in all these portraits really gives a feeling of the intensity of the situation. Many of the faces look like they've been through a tough and tiresome ordeal. Other than Will's panel describing the outline of the project, the message can be found in the faces themselves.

204. <span style="font-size: large;">To give a little background to this image: A group of people lived near the top of a small mountain south of Charlottesville, Va. To all living there, it was called “the hollow.” I think (?) this was Gordon’s house. Gordon had a cameo in <a href="http://www.theparkinglotmovie.com/" target="_blank">"The Parking Lot Movie “</a><the lot="" movie="" parking=""> telling about an incident that happened while he was driving a cab in Charlottesville. I knew most of the people living there, and would visit occasionally. There was at least one yearly party, which was usually a whole day/night with a “recovery” morning tacked on. People would bring food, and it would be cooked barbecue style. An unused field became a parking lot and spots for campers. I tried to find the locale recently, and found that not much was familiar on the road.<br />

210. This is the very small second bathroom in our house, which was added during one of the many expansions. These expansions were by prior owners, so we can only piece together the story by looking under the flooring for changes in construction, wiring, and materials. This bathroom had a outward facing window that became an inside window when a porch was added. <br />
211.      The house is old enough that it probably had an outhouse at some point. Most of the houses on the street started early enough to be before the miracle of flushing. <br />

232. <span style="font-size: small;">The images above are” light painted” time exposures of a corner of my room.  The light painting is done by doing a time exposure in a dark room, and using a L.E.D. flashlight to illuminate areas selectively. In this case I took four different variations of the light painting and combined them in a Flash movie so that they fade between each exposure.  Since the camera was left on a tripod, the images fade between each other smoothly. The rather “blueish” tone is due to the color of the L.E.D.  The red streaks were from a red bike light. </span></div>

The Mustang was a model that didn’t really sell well when it first came out, but developed a following years after.  It was a “short scale” neck, which makes “note bending” (pulling the pitch up of a note by pulling or pushing with the left hand) easier. </span></div>

I had a chronic problem with the shoulder, and generally I had to go to the hospital to get it back to where it was supposed to be. The guitar skittered, face down, across the stage, making an indescribable noise. The audience got out of its seats and was shouting encouragement, presumably thinking this was part of the act. I went out to the car to get driven to the hospital.  The shoulder popped back into joint when I sat down in the car, and I finished the night with the band.</span></div>

263. I was going in the security door at work, and noticed something strange on the brick edge of the door frame. It looked like a twig, but on closer examination, the stick appeared to have two legs.  It was a “stick insect” or <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasmatodea" rel="itis" target="_blank" title="ITIS Taxonomy ID 723213">Phasmatodea</a>, according to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.wikipedia.org/" rel="homepage" title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a>.  The second picture is a close up of its eyes, which are very small and oddly situated in the middle of its body.</div>
264. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
265. Evolution is a difficult to get one’s mind around.  Here’s a life form that is a credible imitation of a tree part.  How did it get to be what it is, and what did it evolve from, and through, to get to where it is? </div>
266. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
267. <br /></div>
268. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
269. Is it the luxury of more than enough time? That would be 4.5 billion years, if the stick creature started at the very beginning.  Not likely, but, give or take a billion years, that is still a long time.  In our own timeline (that is “humans” so far) we see changes, attributable to evolution (not all agree on this).  My only problem with the word is that it implies getting somewhere, when the sole point of evolution is just another generation of survivors.  The point so far, is survival, at least on the surface. </div>

275. By the way, Phasmatodea are not inclined to reproduce in the manner that humans do. The population is mostly female, and they don’t need a male to produce offspring.  Females  can lay eggs that hatch to become females with the same genetics as the mother.  If they can find a male, they can, after finding a private spot, mate. Even then, the likelihood of a male offspring is less than the likelihood of a female, although this is the only way that genetic variation can occur. </div>
276. <br />
277. <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">    <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If that is not enough puzzling detail, there is the “egg promotional process.” Some Phasmatodea have eggs that look like a type of food commonly gathered by ants (thanking Wikipedia here!). Ants carry the eggs (which look remarkably like the ant's eggs) to their nest.  The young nymph that hatches from the egg looks exactly like an ant. This nymph climbs to safety in a plant or tree and then develops the features of an adult Phasmatodea. </span></span><br />

284. <span style="font-size: small;">(Click above for a larger image) When I hike or walk over open land, I tend to scan the path for interesting finds. The fallen fall leaf above has some small round structures on it. Why? What are they? Were they on the leaf before it fell, or did they form before the leaf dried on the ground? They look a bit like tiny mushrooms, or leaf blight, or both, if that’s how it works.  I have no answers for this question, and would love to know if any readers might have an idea.</span></div>

290. (Click above for larger image) The second is a very fine traveling vine-like plant that forms a perfect model of a network. I’d like to identify it, of course. We are collectors by nature and sometimes, of nature.  This vine/plant/thing has nodes, and each node is surrounded by the same number of connections.  Essentially, it is a model of a of an early version of networking  also. </div>

293. When I lived in New Hampshire, and when I spent a brief time in West Virginia, I knew a Freeman Smith (a father of a friend of mine), who had spent his life as an agricultural expert. He traveled widely as part of the programs the United States ran to educate farmers in many countries. He was able to walk through a wooded area or field and identify many of the plants he came across. Those informal walks with Freeman were enjoyed quite a bit by the twenty-somethings of the time. </div>
294. <br />
295. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
296. This was when the “returning to the land” theme had begun to be discussed in popular culture. Euell Gibbons had come out with a book called “Stalking the Wild Asparagus” and the notion of identifying, and sometimes eating, wild plants, had become a hot topic.  A person like Freeman could be a very interesting person to walk in the woods with. </div>
297. <br />
298. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
299. After that I lived in various places, but when I moved from Washington D. C.  to Charlottesville, I took up hiking again. I started photographing plants purely for identification later. When I went through the first spring in “C-vlle” I was surprised by the wildflowers that sprung up near the trails, wherever they could get some light from the break in the trees. It wasn’t long before I hit the public library, and the library at UVA, looking for more information. It’s not just the notion of identifying plants, it is also the plant history that is interesting.  From that point on, I had to use some care hiking downhill.  I’d get to lost in the view on the side of the trail, and manage to do a nose-first dive into nature. </div>

308. The way her head is in the beginning of the out-of-focus area with the blurred lights makes me think of her as “dreaming.”</div>
309. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
310. So, this is a traditional twin lens (one for viewing, and one that exposes the film) camera like the Rollie, such as the Rollieflex, which was a slightly higher quality model. They were easy to carry and relatively simple. There wasn’t much to break, although the film transport (it had to manage the spacing of the images on the film) sometimes could get troublesome. </div>
311. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
312.     What I never understood: how to compose something in the square format finder. You generally took a photo planning a rectangular crop that was either vertical or horizontal. Thinking about cropping it from the square took some planning if you wanted to make a rectangular crop later. </div>

335. Frankly, the subject of this photo is a bit of a mystery. </div>
336. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
337. This is a set of walls in a sandy lot next to the Food Lion market in Avon N.C. These walls were in place one summer when we came down to spend the typical week in a beach cottage. The summer before the lot had been just sand. I took a 6X9 cm. negative photo on “chromogenic” film which I remember being a two or three minute time exposure. </div>
338. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
339. <br /></div>
340. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
341. The walls were notched on the sides at about the same height, but they weren’t arranged in a way that suggested that they could all come together as a structure. They were up the next summer too, but the next year they were gone.</div>
342. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
343. <br /></div>
344. <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
345. About four years beyond that the entire shopping center got expanded and re-designed. Only then did I think to ask the manager of the Food Lion about the walls. Unfortunately, that was only his second year in the store. I had no luck asking at the cottage rental agency either, as no one remembered them.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://eddeasy.blogspot.com/2011/10/wall-avon-north-carolina.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ed Deasy)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691431073251717294.post-6686703985778580251</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-06T14:17:29.891-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Domesticity</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Human Pet Relationship</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Pets</category><title>Waiting for the Human</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

354. <span style="font-size: small;">This shot brings to mind a few thoughts about “domesticity."   A relationship with a pet is unencumbered by some of the complexities that humans can add to relationship.   Thought, roles, misunderstanding;  all terms that we are familiar with.

362. <span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">When I had my dislocating shoulder fixed surgically, the cat of that era (we have a cat history here) hung next to me for most of the period I was recovering, even though he was more of an outside than inside cat.

367. A friend of mine, Danny Webster, is having a show of his sculptures at Runk Dining Hall, which is at the University of Virginia Campus, in the Hereford Campus area. The opening reception is this Sunday, October 16th, 4:30-6:00pm . <br />
368. I took photos of the sculptures, which are large &quot;fishes&quot; made from a variety of unusual materials. You can get the idea of the scale of the sculpture above from the dinner ware and U. S. Quarters its made from. The rest of the fish sculptures are made from equally diverse materials, like circuit boards, shells gathered in the Outer Banks, guitar picks and buttons. To read more about the show itself, and view a video, you can got to this link. The article is written by &lt;em&gt;Kate Colwell, &lt;/em&gt;and the page was published by UVA public affairs.</description><link>http://eddeasy.blogspot.com/2011/10/daniel-websters-fish-sculptures-show-at.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ed Deasy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgngykNv_mIksz_uE-b_z6p4nklmavQ7lFMBNyyDrA4JDQX9euVKHsbzF1ISmF9EtST_Q-ECcecwQGG-1O3rPzXv-elHhExfrPtmd0WtGhyphenhyphenYZLqPik4fFAeh9uICJ8oksEgyL4ausoiLQKM/s72-c/Fish+Quarters-other+side.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691431073251717294.post-8083474783171690646</guid><pubDate>Sat, 08 Oct 2011 23:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-10-08T16:18:43.248-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">cat behavior</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">cat door</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">severed squirrel head</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">unusual day</category><title>An Unusual Day (Severed Squirrel Head)</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;An unusual day: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
369. <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When I woke this morning and came down the stairs, I saw that the cat food bags in the kitchen closet had been torn open and the food bowls were totally cleaned out. This usually means that an animal, usually a raccoon, has gotten through the cat door, which has a magnetic lock. Both cats wear magnets on their collars and the magnets unlatch the cat door so they can push it open. The door will not open inward without the magnetic latch being activated. Raccoons are smart and also have claws that enable them to hook the door and pull it outward to get in.</span><br />
370. <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
371. </span><br />
372. <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">But usually the raccoons tear up the entire kitchen closet, dumping food out. In this case, the bowls were empty, and some of the treat bags were torn, but the bins hadn’t been opened. So I cleaned up the food and figured I’d have to put it away at night again. </span><br />
373. <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I went back to the computer to work (telecommute, two days a week). Later, while walking through the living room I noticed something on the floor. It was the body of a squirrel, with just a bloody mess where the head had been. I cleaned up the carcass, bagged it, and threw it in the outside trash. Both cats were staring at me with innocent looks. </span><br />
374. <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
375. </span><br />
376. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;&quot;&gt;Back to telecommuting, clicking, uploading and so on. Somehow I had forgotten about the head. &lt;strong&gt;Cats don’t eat heads&lt;/strong&gt;. I went looking for it. Under the pillow, nah, the cats aren’t Mafia. I looked everywhere, except where the head is, of course. No head, anywhere. Two heads are not better the one, especially when mine is one of them and the other one is rotting under furniture somewhere. Just a pleasant surprise I can look forward to, probably requiring a little biologic time to pass?&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://eddeasy.blogspot.com/2011/10/unusual-day-severed-squirrel-head.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ed Deasy)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691431073251717294.post-9205072738279048900</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Oct 2011 01:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-10-05T17:27:40.470-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">History in Walls</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Ivy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Nature</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Opportunistic Growth</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Vegetative Power</category><title>Ivy in the Wall, Charlottesville</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://deasy.com/images/Wall-Statement.htm&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; target= &quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://deasy.com/images/wall-statement-.jpg&quot; width=&quot;550&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
377. &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;This is a parking lot wall not far from the Charlottesville Downtown area.  It’s on a path I follow from a parking spot to my favorite coffee brewer.  I had noticed the hole in the wall earlier; apparently it had been mistaken as a trash container. All sorts of odd items had been stuffed in it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Nature, and especially ivy, has a way of making the best of a situation.  This is about 5 feet above the ground, and I couldn’t find any evident soil nearby.  It’s all concrete or asphalt for as far as you can see. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The downtown area of Charlottesville has history built into the walls of most buildings.  The &lt;a href=&quot;http://mudhouse.com/locations/&quot;&gt;Mudhouse&lt;/a&gt; coffee shop, where I generally buy my coffee, has been renovating the interior of their place on the downtown mall. There was layer after layer of wallpaper, newspaper scraps, stenciled messages, as they stripped the wall. I stopped by more often just to see what new layers came up.The renovation is finished now, and they left the cleaned, but unfinished, wall between buildings open to the room. The whole shop interior is now a rearranged space, and the it looks great.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://eddeasy.blogspot.com/2011/10/ivy-in-wall-charlottesville.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ed Deasy)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691431073251717294.post-5967832564502205279</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Sep 2011 01:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-12T18:51:17.839-07:00</atom:updated><title>Rail Bridge Photograph - UVA Corner</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

379. <br />I’m intrigued with urban and suburban “landscapes.”  These are almost always unintentional in design. They are the convergence of growth and necessity. We are a people interested in getting from A to B in the shortest time.  After going that route enough times, we cease to even notice it. We are the in-between people, always headed somewhere else. <br />
380. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;So, when it comes to design, we are masters of the unintentional.&amp;nbsp; This is a section of the overhead railway over the “Corner” adjoining the campus of UVA, the intersection of 14th St. and University Ave.&amp;nbsp; It feels like Brooklyn for about 15 feet as you pass under the bridge.&amp;nbsp; There’s a tree top in the distance visible above the wood railway timber. If this were a painting, that would represent nature.&amp;nbsp; Historic photographs of Charlottesville (Google “Holsinger photographs”) seem to show this bridge, although it’s a bit difficult to say for sure it’s the same structure. </description><link>http://eddeasy.blogspot.com/2011/09/rail-bridge-photograph-uva-corner.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ed Deasy)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
