A giant sloth and her baby.

Most of these look better if you go to my Flickr page and look a the bigger versions.

I have lots of stuff from our trip to California that I'll post as I can.

we are fortunate to have the first international exhibition of the sculpture of Juan Miro at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near here. The supervisor said there were people coming from all over the world. He is one of my top ten favourite artists of all time and I took a few pics before coming across the sign which said "NO PHOTOGRAPHY"

Aw well, never mind

this view of the fine lawn and hedge just happens to have a funny old sculpture in frame..

I think it's important to ignore rules like that.

Most definitely!

It really bugs me when photos are forbidden - so unnecessary. Like our
Art Gallery in Toronto - why? You can photograph almost everything in
the National Gallery in Ottawa and in almost every government
supported museum/gallery I've been in in other countries - the AGO has
an awfully large opinion of itself. The AGO takes every grant it can
get, complains bitterly when funding is reduced, but has patrons with
enormous wealth.

I decided to turn off the display on the camera and use the viewfinder which was great and would have been good if I'd pressed down hard enough and long enough - so about 20 didn't register. What an idiot. Sorted now and I do intend to go back. Here is another ...

I was at the NC Arboretum in Asheville with my parents on Wednesday. In addition to the lovely gardens, there was an exhibition of "scanography" non-photography by Barbara Sammons.

Her website is here: "http://www.barbarasammons.com/"

Not quite sure what this is all about....

{Photography.71.262}: Kitty {kitty} Fri, 16 May 2014 17:43:09 CDT (HTML)

She started playing with a photographic scanner and rather than take a photo and make a copy, she has been placing things directly on the scanner to create images.

She says the tricky part is making sure that petal s haven't folded weirdly or pollen has fallen down to mess up the clarity of the image. It turned out to be more fiddly than she realized it would be and drew her in.

Ah, thank you.

annie, this is as old as scanners. There was a whole genre of this
stuff in the nineties. It was never as compelling to me as a camera
though...

{Photography.71.265}: annie {oceanannie} Sat, 17 May 2014 10:51:45 CDT (HTML)

I've never heard of it before!

Ten years ago I tried scanning some blossoms, and it was tricky,
indeed. I had aspirations to experiment with other flowers but, alas,
it never came to be.

That's lovely.

Thank you!
