Edward Burtynsky is known for documenting the impact of human industry on the natural world. His work, featuring subjects like quarries, mines and oil fields, creates a tension between abstract, painterly beauty and unsettling environmental destruction.

Burtynsky’s Shipyard series (2005) is a striking collection of photographs documenting the massive, booming shipbuilding industry in China. Primarily shot at the Qili Port in Zhejiang Province, these photographs capture the overwhelming scale, intricate geometry and vibrant industrial palettes of modern maritime construction.

Shipyard #11 serves as a reflection on the rapid globalization, hyper-industrialization, and environmental transformation occurring in 21st-century China. With over 12,000 workers using 500,000 tons of steel, Qili port shipyards build about 250 ships per year.

What are your thoughts on his work?

The Cranford Rose Garden is a historic and extensive rose garden located within the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in NYC, featuring over 5,000 rose bushes with thousands of varieties, including species, old garden and modern roses. Opened in 1928, it's one of North America's largest collections, known for its traditional layout with white latticework, arbors and a mix of companion plants like clematis and lilies, with peak blooms in June and a second flush in the fall.

So thrilled I copped four Gregory Crewdson Dream House prints from Avant Arte. He is known as the king of cinematic stills.

This edition is from Dream House, a series shot in an abandoned home in Vermont, originally commissioned by the New York Times in 2002. Each image stages the quiet loneliness and isolation of suburban life with full-scale Hollywood production and a cast including Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tilda Swinton, William H. Macy and Gwyneth Paltrow. 

Crewdson’s photographs construct a distinctly American psychological space with Lynchian atmosphere, somewhere between the familiar and the mysterious .

The NYC Drag March is annual visibility march held on the Friday evening of Pride Weekend. The event open to all forms of drag and individual expression.

They remind me of the Andrews Sisters from the 1940s (Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy).

Dykes on Bikes is a legendary LGBTQ+ women’s motorcycle contingent famously known for leading Pride parades and events globally. Originating in 1976 at the San Francisco Pride Parade, the group reclaimed a derogatory slur to symbolize queer empowerment.

Ms. Colombia entertained crowds at public events such as parades and in spaces such as Coney Island, Riis Beachand the Queens Pride Parade with her colorful outfits, dyed beard, and pets such as her poodle Cariño and parrot Rosita.

Discipline is not a dirty word. Is this organization still around ?

If I could turn back time.
