Happy Mother’s Day – Day 130/365

by

Here’s a photo Dad took of me and Mom on their boat in 1970. I found it while scanning Dad’s slides yesterday.

I was 10 months old here. Mom was doing her best to bring me up right.

Unsteady on my feet, in a walker and missing a shoe… on a boat, with no life jacket on. Shades of days now gone by, but yet to come at that point. Alas…

#Badass Me on my #Trike

Here’s a photo, taken by Dad in 1972 and scanned today from one of his many slides.

I spent the entire day scanning. I giggled out loud a few times.

Dad has 100’s of slides from the 60’s through to the 90’s. He’s sending me all of them so I can continue scanning. Tedious and time consuming, but I’m digging the end result!

Laughing Cat – Day 125/365

by

I told Oscar about my crappy transit experience today on the way home. He’s yawning, but I prefer to think he’s laughing his ass off at my witty storytelling. Yes, I was talking to my cat.

Also, I know I messed up somewhere. This is day 125 of 365 and there are 125 photos in the album I started for it. I doubled up on days I guess.

Landscape of The Meeting #VanBiennale

by

From vancouverbiennale.com: "The Meeting was originally exhibited at the 2007 G-8 summit meeting in Heiligendamm, Germany. It is not without irony that the red figures are placed in a circle, static and crouching with cupped hands, open to various interpretations, from one of thoughtful contemplation to one of latent energy ready to leap up. Wang Shugang’s installation for the Vancouver Biennale, Meeting, is painted a shade of red that is known as Chinese Red, the colour associated with the Chinese government and communism. This hue ranges from a vivid red to a red-orange made from Vermilion, sometimes referred to as cinnabar.
According to the artist, “… the colour red has multiple cultural meanings in China, historically representing happiness but during the Cultural Revolution it symbolized terror. Today red is the colour of the faded lettering praising Mao on the ceilings of the factories, coats of the Buddhist monks and the colour of wedding decorations”. Wang Shugang made his North American public art debut as part of the 2009 – 2011 Vancouver Biennale exhibition.
