As I was waiting to get out of the parking lot, I spotted these two ladies sharing lunch at a local Wendi’s.

Ai Weiwei’s Snake Makes Huge Statement
Yesterday, Chinese artist Ai Weiwei was named the most powerful person in the art world, according to a poll compiled by ArtReview magazine. The Snake Bag is a perfect example of why China sees the Ai Weiwei as a threat. The artist/activist was detained by his home country for 81 days earlier this year.
Ai Weiwei created this 55-foot-long undulating snake using 360 children’s backpacks, which he found at the deadly 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Sadly, the backpacks belonged to children who died because of the poor building code, which was attributed to local corruption. As you can imagine, fashioning bags into a wicked symbol of Chinese lore certainly sends a loud statement to the entire world.

Offbook: Steampunk, A Mini Documentary by PBS Arts
PBS has created this wonderful documentary about the Steampunk world. I’m fascinated by the originality, the creativeness, and the mystery evoked by the Steampunk participants.

Dreariness – Project Flickr: In the Sky
Dreariness – Project Flickr: In the Sky, originally uploaded by James Milstid, aka PapaJames.
Welcome to Seattle…
I usually love shooting the sky and clouds, but the greyness in Seattle is so drab right now! This is a shot of where I think the sun would be if I could see it.
Shot out of desperation for Project Flickr!
