| For my photos today, I'm focusing on some artists who are doing some incredible work to push the boundaries of perception. Follow the links for more of their work. Here, Erik Johansson uses photo manipulation to push the scene one step further. |
First of all I had my personalized license plates for Minion waiting for me in my mail box when I got home from work yesterday. I'm delighted with what I was assigned. To explain: the application form asks for three choices. When I submitted the form, I was told that the first choice wouldn't be accepted because a company with a similar name had it sewn up for the corporate fleet. My second and third choices were fine, though, and she thought I would be given my second choice. That's exactly what happened. I won't have a chance to get them installed this morning, but I'll get them put on tomorrow FOR SURE!

| Matt Molloy uses extreme time lapse photography to show us the amazing beauty of our world. He'll stack up to 100 images on top of each other to achieve his final print. I'm totally in love with this Canadian artist's work. Here, in "Farmhouse" he has this amazing and colorful sky. |

| Here is a sunset by Matt Molloy. Just look at the colors in that sky. He's just taking many pictures over time and layering them into his final image. The colors are all there, in reality, but we miss seeing them unless they are put in front of us by an artist's hand. |
We also have been pushing Minion to the edges, finding out her capabilities and how well she fits into our lives. We needed a new display for the shop and DH built one last week. It's twelve inches square and six feet long and we needed to bring it from the workshop where we constructed it over to the shop. In Grape there would have been no problem. She could easily be configured to haul up to eight feet in length. But Minion only has a narrow passway for eight feet and since the front passenger seat doesn't lay flat, there is a blockage from full length. But, with an inch to spare, Minion was able to take the display (angled) and we got it to the shop. Now to paint it, put the base on, drill the holes, mount the hardware and finally, move product onto it. WHEW! A lot of work, but so necessary.

| Nimbus Sankt Peter 2014 by Berndnaut Smilde of Amsterdam is typical of this location artist's work. He creates temporary clouds inside interesting architecture and photographs them at just the right moment before the clouds dissipate into the surrounding air. |
I still haven't heard from the turds hosting my corporate website. I'm beyond frustrated and acknowledge that I'll have to try and deal with this some more on Thursday. I won't have time before then, and that's a problem. I need the opportunity to sit on the phone, waiting for an interminable amount of time before I finally get somewhere. I'm probably going to try the alternative phone number again, but I'm also thinking about contacting some legal assistance - just not sure where to go with this. Suggestions?

| Here's a wonderful example of the fabulous air brush work of Netherlands artist Ramon Bruin. It's not just the snake attempting to free itself from the paper, it's also the hand holding the tail and the woodgrain of the surface tabletop that enthralls me. What a technical genius. |
I figured since this is a rather boring post, no tips on writing, no scandalous stories and no great gossip, I would at least give you good photos to look at, so I hope you at least enjoyed that. I hope tomorrow's post will have more of interest to a larger audience, but so's life - you can't always hit it out of the park.

| Sarolta Ban is a Hungarian photographer with a wonderfully distinct view of the world. Here the man and his dog look into the stars as they become entangled in the plants behind them. |
Happy Tuesday to all....
