In 2010, Polish outdoor artist NeSpoon gathered crocheted lace doilies and installed them on pieces of driftwood at Oak Beach on the Baltic Sea. The results are simply lovely and according to the artist, lasted for a week on the beach.
The effects of my work aroused great interest. Many people made pictures of the installations, they moved them around from place to place, they were even used for the construction of beach camps. Small children with great joy played around them.

Starry Night, after Vincent Van Gogh
Brooklyn, New York based artist Vik Muniz has created an impressive collection of artwork with his new Pictures of Magazine 2 series, currently on display at Galerie Xippas in Paris. Vik arranged a collage of torn pieces from various magazines, along with an extreme abundance of skill, to recreate the likeness of 9 paintings by famed artists.

On Monday, I published a letter from my husband, Christopher Baker, to the Boy Scouts of America. In that letter, Baker returned his hard-earned Eagle Scout award and explained that he no longer wanted to be associated with an organization that discriminated against gay teenagers and GBLT parents. By the end of the day, I'd posted six updates to that story—adding letters from other Eagle Scouts who had joined my husband in resigning from a fraternity they had loved and had worked incredibly hard to join.
The Boy Scouts of America is a private organization. The Supreme Court has said they have the right to discriminate. What these Eagle Scouts are saying is that legal precedent doesn't make the discrimination right. Overwhelmingly, they've said that it makes them sad to see the organization that meant so much to them go against the very values of inclusion that it taught them as children. As Baker wrote, "banning openly gay scouts and leaders is not a neutral position any more than separate-but-equal was a neutral position on race."
Yesterday, I received more letters from other Eagle Scouts who want the Boy Scouts of America to know how disappointed they are, and that they choose to stand with the persecuted rather than with the people doing the persecuting. In this post, you can read inspiring words from 13 Eagle Scouts who asked that I share their letters. In most cases, I've included a photo of the letter, and quoted text for easy reading. They're worth reading. These are amazing men.
Well, amazing men, and one woman. I'm starting out this collection with the letter of Dr. Julie Praus.
Julie Praus
I received my Eagle award in 1976, at age 15. A member of Troop 28, Devils Lake, ND under the name Douglas James Praus. I went on to become a National Merit Scholar, Phi Beta Kappa, went to medical school, became a psychiatrist, served for 12 years in the US Air Force, raised 3 sons, made a distinguished career as a physician. I transitioned gender in the midst of all that. I'm very 'out', and serve the GLBT population as well as the general population in the twin cities area.
I've found that being an Eagle is a member of a very select club. I've met them in universities, the military, and in medicine. They've all been of sterling character, and I've been honored to be in their company.

In 2008, Entertainment Weekly gathered the cast of long-running sitcom Roseanne for some TV family reunion photos. They brought on talented photographers Mark Williams and Sara Hirakawa of Williams + Hirakawa to shoot the reunion, which included a "battle of the Beckys". It was recently announced that Roseanne Barr and John Goodman will be co-starring in a new TV sitcom on NBC titled Downwardly Mobile. Its description reads, "A lower middle class family living in a mobile home community."

"Alternate Perspectives" is a series of distorted panorama photos by filmmaker and photographer Randy Scott Slavin. Each image is a digital composite stitched together from hundreds of photos. Slavin's panoramas will be on display at the Kristen Farrell Gallery in New York City, July 25 to August 12. The show's opening reception is July 25 from 7 PM to 9 PM.

Look upon these works, ye might, and despair:
All hail our new Sutro GIF overloads, HYPNOSF. Stunning work, along with a bunch more SF rotational and swingback GIFs.
Do you have any idea how much work this was, both pre- and post-processing? I do — one street almost killed me.
Now all I need to is implement my SF-wide network of Sutro-ward webcams to make a live version of this (plus a fog detector).
