Rally on Lansdowne Avenue
Councillor Giambroni's "Urban Planning" agenda regarding changes to Lansdowne Avenue, particularly narrowing the street by 1.4 metres is protested by some 100+ concerned members of the community on May 22. It seems that there was no prior consultation with the community by Giambroni and the rally organizers are miffed as to why the changes have been proposed in the first place. Residents, displeased and wondering what options will be available for the elderly and disabled when parking is removed from one side of the street, protest at a crosswalk on Lansdowne Avenue. The decreased parking lane will create a bottleneck effect on the already busy throughway of a street. I wonder what the effect the proposed changes will have on winter traffic?

Installing Richard Serra
Via NYT. Mr. Serra’s indispensable installer Joe Vilardi discusses how steel riggers install 30 tons of cor-ten curved steel plates to within fractions of an inch on the MoMA's second floor. The installation of "Sequence" took three weeks and the 40-year sculpture retrospective of Richard Serra opens June 3 at the Museum of Modern Art.

I'm a painter. I use a 12 cup muffin tin as my palette for mixing acrylics. They eventually become too built up to use effectively. It is a kind of treat to buy a new one fresh. I must have dozens of them caked up with acrylic in my studio.

I cooked up some nice vegan tortillas tonight: diced mushrooms, red peppers, zuchinis, tomatoes and mixed beans. Lightly pan fried and sprinkled with savory, corriander and hot sauce. Rolled into warm tortillas, tasted delicious!

Yard-sale E. J. Hughes 100,000.
You never know what you could find at a yard sale for $200. Stories like this set off my imagination. Mr. E. J. Hughes was a student of the Group of Seven painter Fredrick Varley and exhibited at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1935. His early landscape work is prized by collectors.

Chicken-Eating Spider
I would never want to hunt down giant 12 inch tarantulas in the Amazon, but Martin Nicholas armed with his "spider cam" digs in deep with his "Monsters of the Forest" video.

I added a variety of texture to this one including a 3rd party texture plugin called Nagel Papers. The shadows and composition work well as all the branches blur into the thickness of the stickery!

pinkflowers
I was trying out the macro setting on my Olympus SP-500UZ this afternoon in High Park. It was a good day to cycle around looking for shots and the south end of the park was not crowded. These pink flowers have a very nice softness to to them and I can see how the depth of field for the shot was extremely shallow.

Darkspider
Here is a little different style. I went to see Spiderman 3 tonight and I really enjoyed the emotional over-tones. The character is pushed into dark realms and retains his values in the end. Anyway, I used a variety of cloning stamps and f-x brushes in painterIX to create this image.

Today at school the children seemed unusually hyperactive. Fellow colleagues(I've heard it before) suggested that the full moon affects children's behaviour. Well, I think that is something worth celebrating! Tonight I listened to Bob Dylan and Lucinda Williams, they both have current releases which are good.

Most of my computer time is spent listening to tunes and digitally drawing. Tonight I listened to Rush's new album and The Green Pajamas.
