A Part of a Whole is on display at the Taylor Institute of Teaching and Learning on the University of Calgary Campus.
This is a thesis prepared for my Master of Fine Arts degree, and it examines my relationship to abandoned industries, townsites and homesteads in Western Canada.
Spent some time with the Vision Pro this weekend using a very unique map app. Something intriguing about standing on a floor-sized landscape to look at details.

I placed the home view in a table at 100% in nbAR to see how big it is… about the size of a @YETICoolers mug…
Still not sure if I’m would have a use for it in a 1 bedroom apartment…
I was posting recently on how my relationship to photography has changed since I got a digital camera in 1998.
From printing and storing to sharing with Flickr and editing to instagram and tumblr and now to … nothing, really
No more desire to share to platforms that don’t last
… I’m back… for a bit. Mostly to follow @johnternus and nibble any little tidbits he posts.

The cavernous ruin of St, Agnes Church in Detroit, Michigan. Despite the decay, there is still plenty of evidence of this church's former glory.
… the land in question in High River is grazing land unsuitable for farming. They are leaving access to the wetland area and the creek that flows to it.
This lady is an idiot.

From horror show to triumph! This is the moment when pianist Maria Joao Pires realises - as the orchestra starts to play - that she has learned the wrong piece for a concert. With no sheet music to fall back on, she has to keep calm and carry on. She is AMAZING. As is conductor Riccardo Chailly, who shows he’s surely the cheerleader we all want in our corner. Belief and bravery in action! Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor, my Stop the Clock piece @ClassicFM today…

Digital art? AI-powered visuals? No, this is British artist Fred Taylor (1875–1963) in the 1930s...
Silence from the uc_ on the upcoming drought conditions is a sign their largest urban following will realize how ineffective this government is when planning for emergencies it knows about in advance.

We need a class action suit or a resolution from the EU to force a compliance with repair standards.
Parts pairing needs to end NOW.
It is not sufficient to simply require Apple to pair all parts, or to pair used parts. Even if it agrees to pair all parts in all cases, Apple still has centralized administrative control of all devices they have produced, and all devices still have a dependency on Apple “flipping a switch”.
The troubling nature of parts pairing goes even deeper — it is now inherent in the design of its products. If I were to swap the screens of current MacBooks, both would lose TrueTone, among other features, and resolution would require a connection to Apple (assuming they would choose to resolve it).
So not only is it necessary that we require Apple to pair all parts, but it is also necessary to require Apple to redesign all products so that a dependency on Apple is no longer necessary and that parts work correctly by default — the artificial flaws they impose (lack of True Tone, etc.) need to be removed, and the dependency on Apple must be erased from the design.
Keep in mind, you have property rights. Those rights make it legal to do what you want with the devices you own. It is not appropriate, nor legal, for a company like Apple to have administrative control over devices that aren’t theirs. The devices must be redesigned to remove that control. A hypothetically "victorious scenario" in which Apple states that it will “pair all devices when asked” does not constitute removal of that control.
Every new Apple device produced is effectively damaged, and an affront to our rights, because it has been designed with a dependency on Apple. Every passing day that parts pairing is in effect represents tens or hundreds of thousands of brand new damaged devices being manufactured and sold.
Parts pairing needs to end NOW.
