At some point we are going to have to deal with the uncomfortable truth that there is a genuine lack of research into the impact of environmental exposures on chronic disease, and that has been a major factor driving formerly reasonable people into the antivax, raw milk, beef tallow wellness cults.
Scientists Thought Parkinson’s Was in Our Genes. It Might Be in the Water
New ideas about chronic illness could revolutionize treatment, if we take the research seriously.

#ArtAdventCalendar 10/24 a moody #murmuration from the spring of 2019. I see these often and they never fail to thrill me, big flocks of little birds, all moving as one despite the wind and weather. #photography #canonphotography #oregoncoast
A color photo of a flock of small shore birds flying just above the beach at the edge of the water. It is a cloudy day and everything is muted and foggy. The birds are reflected on the wet sand below.

#ArtAdventCalendar 9/24 - from the long strange summer of 2020, a beautiful eerie #landscape near Kalaloch in Olympic National Park. One of my last solo camping trips; maybe someday I can go again. #photography #canonphotography
A color photo of a hazy shore with seastacks rising from the low tide flats. They are perfectly reflected in the wet sand. The background is obscured by fog and haze but the sky is blue. Trees on a hillside are dimly visible.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 8, a sneaky shot in a café in the last days before the start of the pandemic. Mamiya C220, using CatLabs 80 film, which might be white labelled Shanghai GP3 but who knows. No light meter, just winging it.

Aliens! #ArtAdventCalendar 8/24 a black and white darkroom print of some of the aliens at the UFO Museum in Roswell, NM, a terrible & wonderful small obsessive museum. 2017. Pls ignore glass reflections. #photography #believeinfilm #praktica
A black and white framed photo. On the left are two aliens wearing tight metallic suits. They have large insect oil heads and huge eyes. They are quite clearly mannequins. In the background are some framed documents on fabric covered walls and a square trash receptacle. The aliens are a little blurry; the edges of the photo are irregular and organic looking. The photo was taken on 35mm Tri X black and white film with an early 1980s manual Praktica camera and a Zeiss 50mm lens.

blue pottery bowl with rim like starry night
small bowl glazed bright blue with a rim glazed with "galaxy" - a glaze that has run a little to create an uneven effect of a dark sky with random stars or glowing things where the white & yellow crystals in the glaze melted.

#ArtAdventCalendar 8/24 a print from a couple years, made with 4 pink rubber blocks. It's goofy, i'm fond of it. #printmaking
A block print made from four blocks. Its black and white and a scene of a river with a town right on the bank. It's not detailed or sophisticated, just loose and folksy.

#ArtAdventCalendar 6/24 from August, 2 #pelicans. Summer is not my favorite season (fall is my time) but I love it despite myself for the pelicans who spend it here. I love watching them so much. #ocean #birding #photography #canonphotography
A square color photograph of two pelicans flying over the blue blue ocean. A wave is breaking at the very bottom of the photo.

#PudgyHorse Lascaux Tribute 2. A companion piece to the first, following one of the other cave horses with a darker colour morph. Again, painted with pigments made by Mary Sanche from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

#ArtAdventCalendar
Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.

This was Thanksgiving, when it was raining outside - bad, and we should fix it - and everyone was in the kitchen - good, because it makes snagging them with your claws so delightfully easy. Mr. Binks, my evil cat.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5

18”x24” oil painting of a graveyard in autumn among a hilly landscape. The sky has yellows, reds, oranges and purples of sunset. A pumpkin sits against a large, bare tree, with gravestones dotting the landscape and into the distance.

#ArtAdventCalendar 5/24 River Diptych - from the first roll through my 1970s era Soviet Chaika II half frame that I bought for my birthday in May (inspired by #crappycommiecameraparty) and I am still having So.Much.Fun with this camera! #photography #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead
2 half frame photos next to each other - on the left is a very tall suspension bridge over a wide river (its the Megler bridge over the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon) and on the right is a shot of a mysterious concrete structure in the river. Both photos are soft, dreamy and slightly overexposed in early morning light.

The US is close to an institutional collapse across multiple public health agencies. Trump/RFK have purged anyone with expertise, many have fled and they’ve been replaced w functionaries who are either incompetent or malicious. I don’t think many understand how close to the edge we are right now.

#ArtAdventCalendar 4/24 originally shot on Tri X with an 80s Praktica in probably 2019 or thereabouts? Then I tinted a scan in photoshop. Forgot about it, recently rediscovered, stuck it up on the wall & decided it was OK after all. #photography #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #oregoncoast
A black and white photo of a view down the Oregon coastline, taken from a high vantage point. There are waves and rocks and pine covered hills. The photo has been tinted and the color is very muted and pale.

#ArtAdventCalendar 3/24 a recent night photo i like a lot. #photography #phoneography #eastcoastkin
A color photo of an intersection at late evening, almost night. The intersection is empty except for a car approaching from the far right. There is a stop sign and wires stretching overhead. A streetlight on the right creates a diffuse ball of orange light. Beyond the street is water, and on the horizon lights are reflected in the water. The scene is quiet and a little melancholy.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 2: Diary Madrid
A visual diary or artist’s journal is a good way to observe, record thoughts, experiences & memories, use watercolor, pencil & ink, and do some urban sketching. Fun & meaningful.

#ArtYear #watercolor #ink #journal

#ArtAdventCalendar 2/24 this is a fast acrylic sketch on a small canvas I did last summer outside with my granddaughter, drinking a margarita and painting while she drew with crayons and played with Barbies.
