Molecule Man
Molecule Man, is a series of aluminum sculptures, created by American artist Jonathan Borofsky. Installed in time for the summer Olympics, the sculpture is 32-feet high by 20-feet in diameter.
Mr. Borofsky says about the sculpture, “at the time I first conceived of this sculpture, I had been fascinated by the fact that the human body, though appearing quite solid, is mostly made up of water. In fact 97% of our body is made up of a water molecule which is ‘sea’ or salt water based, leading many scientists to hypothesize that the human species originated in the ocean.”
I had to smell the rain; six feet apart
Empty Streets
I never thought I’d see this, so I had to get out and see it with my own eyes, and, I had to get some food.
Empty streets, 15 minutes before noon, on Tuesday March 17th, 2020, downtown San Francisco. This was the first full day of the shelter in place order, issued by San Francisco Mayor London Breed. The order will remain in effect until April 7th, 2020. However, just a few days later California Governor Newsom issued an Executive Order, calling on all Californians, all 4o million of us, to shelter in place until further notice.
The Governor is quoted as saying:
We have the capacity to meet this moment — but only if we change our behaviors. We don’t want to look back with regrets — not when the data points to where this could be headed. Let’s bend the curve TOGETHER.
For more information and updates please visit the California Coronavirus (Covid-19) Response website.

Throwback Thursday
Who says California doesn’t have culture?
Oh, heart be still. Nostalgia is in the air … It’s a blast from the past.. Is it a surfin’ safari that’s gone awry? No it’s a 1961 Mercury Meteor station wagon an, automobile manufactured in the United Stated and named for the Mercury space race from a mirrored era gone by.
This surfin’ safari machine, on a warm autumn day, parked under still Acacia trees depicts an era, stood still in time, hopefully an era that hasn’t left us?
An era of civility, peace, and goodness among neighbors.
Oh, heart be still.
Art Walk,Wild Art
Wild Art is a newspaper term that refers to found images that are unplanned, or unscheduled; a branch of street photography you might say. On this occasion I was on a walk with a friend, and noticed our shadows on the sidewalk.. Et Voilà, there you go, here we are!
Remember, Don’t Forget
The American flag drapes Los Angeles City Hall in commemoration of the 2001-9/11 terrorist attack. The flag is reflected in the windows of the Los Angeles Police Department, on September 11th, 2018.
Today, remembering the fallen and their lives given to protect others.
