The Sphinx
Ink on paper
I used to work in ink, and this is one of the few old inks of mine that I’ve managed to hold onto all these years. Would have done this some time in the mid 80s. Is in color but I like this black and white capture of it on the iPhone with the Hipstamatic app.

Ahna Between Here and There

From a new series. Digital painting based on a photo of Ahna Hartico I happened to see and liked. Thanks to her for allowing me permission to use it as resource.

Over the River and Through the Woods #3
There’s a wolf in there somewhere and a flash of Riding Hood Red.
I still may add a few photos. I still may take out a few photos. This project is probably pretty well over. So much of it was in a spirit of collaboration with H.o.p. and over the past couple of years we have done very very few of these because instead of dressing himself up or doing activities of which he wanted me to take photos, he was himself taking photos of all the things he was doing. This was intended to be a natural process and I didn’t want to force the issue. I never had said to H.o.p., “OK, now you do such and such and I’ll take photos.”

I was wondering if my broken toe could handle walking around Fernbank. It was feeling better but then it was feeling so much better Sunday that I ended up bashing it into a chair and was in major pain the rest of the day.
But the broken toe made it fine.
Fernbank’s between special exhibits right now so we focused on the science area. Took a tolerably nice pic of a bubble H.o.p. made (above).
And of a porpoise bubble.
I thought it was fun how it looked like H.o.p. was blowing light into the bubble.

Hanford Declassified Photo Collection on Flickr
April 15th, 2009 |Posted In: Art, Remixing the Hanford Declassifed Project
783 pics are now up in my Flickr collection of photos from the Hanford Declassified Project. Enough to give a sense of the trailer city, the boom of the town and its mindset. This collection contains public domain photos culled from the Hanford Declassified Project.
To the best of my ability, and where possible, I’ve tried to arrange the photos so they are in chronological order, though have departed at points where it seemed impractical. Photos from the WWII years usually were undated in the archive, but f they appear each to bear a number in the lower right hand corner so they are easily recognizable as from the years 1942-1945. Post WWII photos were sometimes dated but quite often were not and I’ve had to hazard a guess as to placement.
One of the reasons I’ve gone through the trouble of creating this collection is that the archive is not the most friendly for searching, very few keywords having been utilized.
For pre-government settlers of the Hanford area, visit the Dept. of Energy Hanford Site Historical Photo Gallery.
See my website Remixing the Hanford Declassified Project for information on the history behind the photos and digital paintings based upon the photos.
Undermining one’s sense of accomplishment
April 13th, 2009 |Posted In: Art, Remixing the Hanford Declassifed Project
Last week I posted 676 photos to Flickr that I culled from the Hanford Declassified Project archive and painstakingly added accession numbers and other information for each. Included were 4 photos from 1950s Medical Dept. dances with women personnel doing the Cancan.
Guess who first made it to the photos via Flickr searches and began adding them to their fetish collections?
Someone today acknowledged how clunky the govt viewer is and that this is better. Which is why I am doing this, because the govt viewer is so funky and there are so few keywords employed so the results are, to say the least, sketchy.
Hanford Declassified Photos

Going through the Hanford Declassified Photos again, I’m reminded of the dozens upon dozens of hours I spent going through these originally looking for those I wanted to make into digital paintings, not to mention the time spent in the painting.
Now, I’m going through them pulling photos to post on Flickr, as the site’s search is not very user friendly.
