My son turned me onto "Google Earth" tonight. This is an image of my landfill--our community's largest collectively constructed entity.

Nuestro Juramento

No puedo verte triste porque me mata:
Tu carita de pena; mi dulce amor;
me duele tanto el llanto que tu derramas
que se llena de angustia mi corazon:

Yo sufro lo indecible si tu entristeces,
no quiero que la duda te haga llorar;
hemos jurado amarnos hasta la muerte
y si los muertos aman
despues de muertos amarnos mas;

Si yo muero primero, es tu promesa,
sobre de mi cadaver dejar caer
todo el llanto que brote de tu tristeza,
y que todos se enteren de tu querer.

Si tu mueres primero, yo te prometo,
escribire la historia de nuestro amor;
con toda el alma llena de sentimiento.
La escribire con sangre,
con tinta sangre del corazon.

Martin McMurray at the California Biennial








These military helicopters are pretty amazing paintings. The images above are scanned from the catalog, though. Despite my most determined efforts, I could not persuade that recalcitrant Orange County Museum guard to let me make my own photos of them.

Trevor Paglen at Bellwether (New York)

Chemical and Biological Weapons Proving Ground/Dugway, UT/Distance ~22 miles/11:17 am:




Chemical and Biological Weapons Proving Ground/Dugway, UT/Distance ~42 miles/10:51 am:






From the Press Release: "Over the last five years, Trevor Paglen has developing unique visual strategies to explore the "black world" of classified military and intelligence activities. To produce his photographs of secret military installations Paglen uses powerful telescopes and employs astronomical techniques to capture his subject from dozens of miles away - a proprietary technique he terms "Limit-Telephotography." The sheer distances, heat, and atmospheric distortions captured in his work result in photographs that often take on the qualities of impressionistic paintings."
