Gallery Talk at Photofusion, London
14 September, 2010
I will be discussing with photographer Kurt Tong his two series on show at Photofusion on Tuesday 21st September.
The two series of work on show in this exhibition, "In Case it Rains in Heaven" and "Memories, Dreams Interrupted", are very different and raise a question in my mind of how we might distinguish between different photographic genres. I think it is necessary to understand that not all photography is equally suited to gallery display. In Kurt's work we find someone with a capacity to sit comfortably across art and documentary photography.
Tickets are £5/£3.50.
Call 020 7738 5774 (Photofusion) to book.

New York Photo Festival
2 June, 2010
A trip to New York is generally easy to say yes to, a trip to New York plus a feast of photography is a no brainer: so it was with much alacrity that I booked my flight, rang a friend to check the spare room was still on offer and revelled in the idea of spending time in my favourite city and visiting the New York Photo Festival.
Upon arrival, much delayed due to the vagaries of the ash cloud, I pondered on the choices of heading straight to Dumbo, meeting up with some friends or going to the Picasso exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As this was a rare opportunity to see nearly the entirety of the Met's collection of Picasso it seemed rude not to pay homage to the master and it was indeed a rewarding experience. With my head full of ideas about photography I had a completely different approach to Picasso's early work. Here was an artist; painting around the time photography was invented, using the same subject matter that photojournalists and documentary photographers use today. His work based on visits to brothels, Saint Lazare's prison, a blind man and his wine jug all had the same social concern many photographers use as their starting point. Yet as a painter Picasso was doing something different; reaching for a universal story rather than that of the individual.
Having filled up on a diet of Picasso I headed off to the photo festival with high expectations. Now in its third year, last year's festival had received less than favourable reviews. But with an interesting line up of curators including the singer song writer Lou Reed, it seemed likely that this year the organisers would have raised their game.
The press night was well organised with a host taking us from venue to venue and the individual curators talking us through their shows. Most interesting was the exhibition by Erik Kessels: "Use Me and Abuse Me." Kessels had looked at the processes of image making, in particular digital technology and collage.
Strikingly dramatic were giant statues brought to life with pasted photographs covering the entire surface by Osang Gwon. This show stood out for its coherence; both in the work shown and the way it was exhibited, which was visually led and often using the humour of the work to lead you round the exhibits.
We ended the tour with the celebrity highlight of the festival, a Lou Reed slide show "Hidden Books, Hidden Stories" in the presence of the great man himself. I should say straight away that as a songwriter and singer, Lou gets all my votes and he has written two of my all time favourite songs, Wild Things and Perfect Day. While it was clear that Lou had had a ball doing what ever it was he had done, as a curator his enigmatic monosyllabic talk [about three sentences long] and obvious discomfort in being asked to give us a few clues about what he had done, left me bewildered and just a little disappointed.
About half way through his slide show, having settled into the seemingly random mix of imagery being displayed I decided that there was no obvious connection between one image and another except perhaps a visual link. This was quite an exciting thought as the idea of a visual rather than content driven or linguistic link was potentially a refreshing approach and certainly one with which I had a great deal of sympathy. However Lou didn't quite pull it off. While I am sure that the visual relationships between each image and sequence of images were clear to him, for the viewer it was often ambiguous or simply not apparent at all. This coupled with Lou's refusal to engage with his eager and indeed supportive audience led me to think of the fable of the emperor's new clothes.
The rest of Lou Reed show was a collection of photography books placed in display units, which the visitor could leaf through. There was no written explanation about why these books had been chosen; nor why, given the title of the exhibition, they were hidden; nor whether or not there was a relationship between them. Nor was there any information about the artists. It was a little bit like being in Waterstones on Piccadilly in their photography section. Although some of the books and their authors were fascinatingly weird, in particular Morton Bartlett and his collection of dolls.
The two other shows, "Object Lesson" curated by Vince Aletti and "Bodies in Question" by Fred Ritchin were familiar in their imagery and presentation. Neither curator had given much thought to the space they were given and it was difficult to separate them out from the satellite galleries who had as equally interesting work on show. Ritchin's collective theme was "isms" as expressed by the motley collection of protest movements currently active on the left of politics. His stated intention was to look at the transformation our identities undergo when surveyed and the inclusion of Michael Wolf's Paris streets as seen on Google earth was a stroke of genius and very apt. But the pictures of icebergs seemed to pander to some curious green agenda that diluted what could have been a more interesting show.
"Object Lesson" was exactly that, using the genre of the still life Aletti had brought together a series of artists working with various objects often to do with decay. It is always lovely to see Richard Learoyd's sublimely delicate pictures of curious parts of dead things, in this case a fish heart suspended in black thread. So while a very traditional show and perhaps a little unambitious, a lot of the photography was exceptionally good.
There is much to say that was good about my trip to New York; the walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to Dumbo; a visit to the High Line in homage to Joel Sternfeld; the Picasso exhibition and of course the Cartier Bresson retrospective at MOMA. The city is fabulous and full of some of the most exciting sights in the world, but the claim that the New York Photo Festival is the "American counterpart and thematic successor to the prestigious European photo festival" is a great ambition that has yet to be properly realised.
I do though wish them luck in reaching their stated goal and if my friend is still in New York and still has her spare room on offer I will try to go to next year's festival.
In Search of the Unfathomable
14 October, 2009
I recently contributed an article about the photographer Anna Linderstam to 1000 Words Magazine. Anna is a young Swedish photographer fascinated by the moments of transformation that people pass through when under stress.
To read the article go to 1000 Words autumn/fall 2009 #06 issue (current at time of writing) and follow the links to Anna Linderstam.
In their latest major new exhibition The National Portrait Gallery asked ten prominent gay men and women to reveal the people who have inspired them?
And so I ask the question, with a degree, it must be said, of trepidation, whether or not one's sexual orientation is relevant or indeed interesting to be used as a theme for an exhibition and what is it that the National Portrait Gallery is trying to say to us?
The ten people invited to contribute to the show include, a poet, two authors, a tennis player, a journalist, a rock star, an actor, a radio presenter, and two politicians. Their chosen icons span the worlds of entertainment, art music, literature, sports, politics and royalty. The photography is by a similarly disparate group. While Mary McCartney shot some [but not all] of the portraits of the selectors, the portraits of the icons are by a wide range of people, from family snap shots to Cecil Beaton. Something of a motley collection of people and portraits that seemingly have nothing bringing them together until the motif of Gay is superimposed.
The NPG has chosen themes before; leading people in the fields of science and medicine with a series of portraits shot by Julia Fullerton-Batten, people of faith with portraits by Don McCullin and most recently an exhibition of the private space of artists by Eamonn McCabe. In each of these shows there was a cohesiveness that underpinned the reason for making an exhibition. Discussions could be had as to the merits of the portraits, critical analysis of the photographers commissioned to make the work and interest in the people chosen to represent their professional, political, cultural or religious outlook.
But in Gay Icons there is no such rigour. The prominent citizens are not directly political or campaigning people who have made their name fighting for gay rights. Neither are the people selected all renowned for their contribution to the struggle to legalise homosexuality. So all we are left with is the fact that the ten people invited to make their selection are Gay. And this is simply not interesting in and of itself. The NPG have missed an opportunity with a lazy nod towards political correctness.
They could have had a fascinating show basing it on Gay Rights campaigners, or presented cutting edge work that is being produced in countries where homosexuality is still illegal.
So just what is the point of Gay Icons? Is it enough of a triumph for Gay Rights that the NPG have used GAY in the title of their exhibition?
Seen but Not Heard
24 April, 2009
Earlier this year I was asked to curate this year's Hereford Photo Festival, and after much consideration I decided to tackle an issue which has concerned me for sometime; namely the increasing restrictions, both legal and moral, that society is placing upon photographers. Here is my introduction to the work I have selected.
"Few questions are more contentious in modern day Britain than those involving children" wrote Simon Bainbridge, editor of the BJP, in June 2005.
As new technologies make taking photographs easier, so too the social constraints that limit what we can take pictures of are expanding. The freedom photographers such as Roger Mayne, Henri Cartier Bresson or Dorothea Lange had to document children, playing on the streets, at home or school has gone.
Now photographers, both amateur and professional, have to negotiate the minefield of obtaining permissions, run the risk of being branded a pervert and counter our increasing prudishness of what is thought to be an appropriate image of a child.
For this year's Hereford Photo Festival, I have selected the work of nine photographers, all of whom engage with this charged subject matter, each finding their own way to overcome an increasingly fearful sensibility that operates in our society.
Examples of the work of the photographers featuring in the Hereford festival 2009:
In making my decision about what to show I deliberately decided not to include anything that might cause controversy or be under threat of removal. My reason for this is simple. There have been many blank walls and empty galleries where work commissioned for exhibition has been taken down as a result of a complaint by a member of the public or an over anxious council worker. These removals are often covered in the media and we are made aware of the issues, but not the images.
For this show I want the work to be seen and for the discussion to broaden out into an understanding what our culture will allow to be seen. If we can permit ourselves to look at images of children, hanging on the walls of an art gallery, then perhaps we will also begin to discuss whether or not the act of taking a picture of a child is as dangerous as society seems to think it is.
Open all hours
9 April, 2009
So today I launched Troika Editions. Not quite single handedly it must be said.
Conceived of nine months ago, it has certainly felt at times like giving birth. A few hiccups in the last throws of labour have been overcome and today we made our first sale.
One of the most thrilling experiences I have had in the last few months has been meeting and talking to the photographers who have been brave and generous in agreeing to join in our adventure. Without any of them there would be no Troika Editions, so my very sincere thanks to them all.
The first week's images come from Carolyn Lefley, Issa Randall and Hin Chua, all young photographers, who are quickly becoming established artists. Hin is due to have an exhibition this summer in Rochester New York State with his series After the Fall; Carolyn was awarded one of the coveted National Media Museum Photography bursaries in 2008 and Issa has just returned from showing his work at this year's Quad Photo Festival.
I Should Have Put Money on It…
26 March, 2009
It is not always the case that I agree with the judges of competitions but the recent announcement that Paul Graham has won this year's Deutsche Borsche prize is very welcome news.
See here for more details from the Photographers' Gallery.
What makes photography an art form?
1 March, 2009
If you get a chance go online and watch Guardian art critic Adrian Searle's review of the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize currently on show at the Photographer's Gallery.
Searle is always eloquent in his reviews and what I admire most is that he doesn't pull his punches. In this respect he immediately questions the legitimacy of an archive being included within a photography show. Searle is speaking about Emily Jacir's work Material for a Film. His criticism is not that the work isn't interesting and indeed there is a lot to recommend it, but Searle rightly questions whether or not it should be classified as photography and whether it should be short-listed for one of the art world's most prestigious photography prizes. Jacir tells the story of the assassination of Palestinian intellectual Wael Zuwaiter by Israeli agents in Rome in 1972. She uses photographs, objects, texts and interviews to piece the story together, re-presenting found images and texts written at the time. There is no doubt that this is a moving and for Jacir a deeply political tale that needs to told. Zuwaiter was assassinated for what Israeli agents believed was a key role in the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Summer Olympics 1972.
But this is an archival story rather than visual narrative. It is the collection of the whole, somewhat like a magazine pasted to the wall, that brings the story alive and this representation, whilst it uses photography to record the objects in order to display the story, does not have any visual language within itself.
The other three artists are more straightforward in their use of photography in their art. Taryn Simon in her work An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar offers us a view of an unseen America. On the surface the imagery is familiar. It has the feel of an advertising campaign. High-end production values and the large format brings an almost relentless detail to her pictures. It is her choice of subject that makes this work more interesting and here I part company with Searle who says he finds it rather dull. The photograph of a woman in a surgery about to or having just undergone an operation to repair her broken hymen is both shocking and beautiful. The composition, lighting and concise presentation of the content drag the viewer in closer, making us wonder what precisely is going on in this clean and clinical environment. We want to look but are made to feel uncomfortable as this is obviously such a private and personal scene. It is this tension that Simon invokes in her work that is its strength.
Paul Graham has been nominated for his publication A Shimmer of Possibility. Large format scenes of America have become almost ubiquitous since we all rediscovered Stephen Shore and Joel Sternfeld. But Graham brings a different sensibility to his work. This isn't road movie material. Rather his work is less about him and more about what he sees and what he sees as a common humanity. He has been described as poetic, quiet without hubris. All of which is true, but for me it is the humanity he brings to his work and fills his subjects with. You can see his work on his website. But it is this picture below that I think in itself is worthy of the prize.
The fourth artist is Tod Papageorge who has been short listed for his exhibition Passing Through Eden – Photographs of Central Park and Searle is in no doubt that this is the work that should win the 2009 prize..
Papageorge is a veteran, producing work that is easy to recognise as photography. There I agree that it should be applauded for its skill. Having been brought up on a diet of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Don McCullin and Diane Arbus, it is clear that Papageorge should be acclaimed and that his work fits within the canon of documentary photography. Shot between 1962 and 1996, Papageorge steadfastly observed people enjoying their decisive moment in the park. There is humour and as with Paul Graham there is a humanity shown in Papageorge's subjects.
I think it is worthy of the prize, but I think Graham should get it.
Deutsche Börse Photography prize is at the Photographer's Gallery from 20 February to 12 April 2009.
A Survey of Photography Magazines Online
12 February, 2009
As the Internet increasingly delivers our every cultural need, I am more and more turning to the web for photographic magazines. I still get the printed word and image via the BJP, PDN, foto8, Next Level and Portfolio, but there are some very engaging sites in cyberspace that showcase interesting and diverse work.
Here are three of my current favourites:
Purpose is a French site that takes themes and presents us with a curated show. The current issue is on childhood and is rich in its inclusion of fairy stories, superheroes, family snaps and old archive black and white images from the Musee Carnavalet.
As you turn the page you can choose to hear music picked to accompany each work, making this a very multimedia site.
Here are some photographs from the Childhood Issue:
Doug Dubois:
Samantha Contis:
Wolfram Hahn:
Amy Stein:
Joakim Eskildsen:
Thekla Ehling:
Dulce Pinzon:
Musee Carnaualet:
Seesaw magazine is an inspirational site edited by Aaron Schuman. Schuman is a lecturer at the University of Brighton and also a freelance writer. I am impressed by the fact that he finds time to make this site so interesting alongside his other occupations. Schuman has a keen eye and great contacts; it is worth delving into his archive to find interviews with many of the superstars of the photography world such as Alex Soth, Roger Ballen and Tod Papageorge.
The current issue has a fabulous set of drawings found by Suzanne Mooney that illustrate how to take porn stills.
Take a peek into the back issues and there is a wealth of great photography from both established and emerging photographers. Some that I liked include:
Claire Richardson:
Reiner Riedler:
Jan von Holleben:
Esther Teichmann:
A new magazine on the scene, now into their third issue, is 1000 Words. It launched last year and is the brainchild of Tim Clark. Clark is not new to the photography world and as a freelance writer he has contributed to a number of high profile publications including Next Level. With an impressive array of photographers and good solid writing this is a site worth bookmarking.
Here are some highlights from the three issues so far:
Richard Learoyd:
Indre Serpytyte:
Li Wei:
Mathieu Bernard Reynard:

What's in a Name? – Update
27 January, 2009
So after months of debate and sleepless nights we have finally settled on the name of our new business and it is Troika Editions. We had been slightly concerned that we were just keeping to the same old same old, but in fact it is more like wearing that favourite black dress to a party which makes you feel confident and comfortable.
So it is thrilling to have made the decision on the name and we have celebrated this by launching our holding page. Equally as thrilling is the momentum our venture is gaining with the artists, some of whom you can see on the site and we will be updating as more photographers join us.
So watch this space!

US-Pak have made research grants available for technology and science
Government of the United States and Pakistan have reported science and technology cooperative research grants which will be granted to 14 joint groups of U.S. furthermore, Pakistani analysts.
These research grants are a piece of the U.S-Pakistan Science and Technology Cooperation Program, co-financed by the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and executed by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in a joint effort with the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC).
Research grants will facilitate new ventures adopted by startups too
This is the seventh round of science and technology research grants between the two nations made through the program. The joint research coming about because of these grants will reinforce logical and specialized participation between the two nations, which will bolster monetary improvement in Pakistan in the fields of health, water, agribusiness, and energy segments.
This mutually financed program is intended to expand participation between Pakistani researchers and organizations and their American partners.
Congratulating the researchers, Tim Donnay, the Acting Mission Director for USAID in Pakistan, said,
This program will increase the strength and breadth of cooperation and linkages between Pakistani scientists and institutions with counterparts in the United States. Together, we will work toward strengthening academic institutions and building a more prosperous and resilient Pakistan.
Since 2005, the S&T Cooperation Program has funded 110 collaborative research projects through a transparent, merit-based, joint decision-making process.

Richard Harrison of "Pawn Stars" fame passed away last month after a battle with Parkinson's disease, and now TheBlast.com is revealing details from his will.
It turns out Harrison amended his will last year. Court docs show that he originally left his estate to his wife Joanne and sons Rick, Joseph and Christopher, but he changed his mind.
In papers obtained by TheBlast.com, Richard updated his will to say, "I would like to express my love and affection for [Christopher Harrison]; however for the purposes of this Will, I have intentionally and with full knowledge failed to provide for him and his issue."
No word on why he made the decision to cut out Christopher. Meanwhile, Rick, his "Pawn Stars" co-star was named administrator of the estate.

Book Review
American Gun
by Chris Kyle
Hardcover, 302 pages
HarperCollins, June 2013
Reviewed by Network member George Prudden
Imagine that you could sit down and chat with an expert in firearms with a vast knowledge in U.S. military history and discuss the impact of a number of firearms and battles in U.S. history. This is the flavor of American Gun, A History of America in 10 Firearms by the late Chris Kyle, a soldier and an experienced tactician.
Chris Kyle was a Navy SEAL with over 160 confirmed kills. After a distinguished military career he entered into the private sector; he decided to write about the impact of his personal selection of important guns on American history.
Unlike many works on the history of firearms, the focus of American Gun is not only the function of the gun, but its effect on military tactics and how those changes and the users changed the course of battles and, thus, history.
Kyle admits from the outset that this is HIS list. Others may differ in their opinion on the value of one gun over another, and may have issues with a gun that was included or guns they might want included.
The presentation is much more conversational than the usual dissertation on chamber pressures and foot-pounds, which, honestly, often puts me to sleep. Instead, these details are presented through the eye of history. Let me give the reader an example–
American Gun starts with Timothy Murphy, a sharpshooter in the Revolutionary War climbing a tree with his Kentucky Rifle to take a shot at a General Simon Fraser of the British Army.
Using Murphy as an example of the Colonists' tactics, Kyle discusses the formal "set piece" approach to warfare that the British used, in which it just wasn't "proper" to target the officers. In fact, the Colonists' tactics, in general, were just not proper, gentlemanly warfare. We would call it guerrilla warfare today.
Kyle's description of the Kentucky Rifle helps us to understand its advantages and disadvantages in warfare. It was accurate, but being a flintlock, reload times could be measured in minutes rather than seconds. When you pulled the trigger, you were greeted with a flash from the flash pan, a small puff of smoke followed by a nearly-blinding smoke cloud once the black powder in the main load finally went off. Imagine trying to focus on shot placement when you can't even see the target until the smoke clears after your shot!
We learn about not only the advantage in accuracy that the rifling gave the American long arms over the British unrifled muskets, but about how that changed American tactics on the battlefield. The British would line up their troops in long rows and fire coordinated shots through their muskets at the opposing troops. Though an individual musket was not particularly accurate, the commanders relied on a curtain of lead from the row of shooters to either do physical damage through bullet strikes or psychological damage through an early form of "shock and awe." The Americans, though many were armed with muskets, also had the advantage of the long rifle, which could provide aimed, directed shots at single targets. British tactics relied on the officer ranks to direct the troops and firing line. Individual soldiers were discouraged from acting singly; they acted in groups.
Those pesky Americans used some of the British tactics, but also had the sharpshooters who would provide the carefully aimed shots, often aimed at the British officer who was directing the troops.
American tactics functionally relied on two relatively new concepts in warfare, the "sniper" and guerrilla tactics.

Developing an innovative high performance thin-film composite membrane using functionalized nanofibrous support layers for engineered osmosis
Funding: 2014: $55,133
2015: $51,583
2016: $48,993
Project Member(s): Shon, H., Tijing, L., Phuntsho, S.
Funding or Partner Organisation: Australian Research Council (ARC Discovery Projects)
National University of Singapore
Start year: 2014
Summary: Engineered osmosis (EO) is based on the principles of natural osmosis and is an emerging technology for low energy desalination and power generation by pressure-retarded osmosis. However, the process is limited by the challenge of the internal concentration polarisation (ICP) effects experienced when currently available membranes are used. Therefore, the aims of this project are to enhance our understanding of the ICP phenomenon in EO process and to evaluate strategies to mitigate the influence of ICP effects on the performance of the EO process by incorporating innovative funtionalised nanofibrous support layers for thin-film composite EO membrane. A significant increase of water flux and mechanical strength is anticipated.

The best casual and active wear shorts I've tried, by a big margin. Extremely comfortable. True to size. Color selection is good. They look sharp for casual wear, but the comfort is amazing. They stretch and perform almost like gym shorts. I can honestly say I have no interest in wearing any other shorts at this time. The price is a little on the high side, standard for North Face, but worth it. And if you can find them on sale they are a must buy. I think my favorite North Face item right now.

These are the best casual alternative to cotton "khaki shorts." They have just the right amount of stretch while retaining its durable properties. I always wear a 32, but feel like sizing up to a 33 would be a little bit more of a comfortable fit. Buy these shorts.

Veterans Experience Office (VEO)
Veterans with ties to UNH speak up at VetTalkX event during school's Salute to Service
November 13, 2019
The University of New Hampshire's 2019 Salute to Service on Sunday included a VA VetTalkX live stream, Manchester VA resource fair and UNH men's hockey game.
The VetTalkX program showcased the talents of UNH students and alumni who are Veterans.
Alumnus Mike Galgano served in the U.S. Navy from 2008 to 2014. "I just felt this (VetTalkX at UNH) would be a good place for me to connect and a great opportunity to get my story out so other Veterans would feel comfortable working with me," said Galgano, a Veterans Service Officer with the State Office of Veterans Services.
Beth Ann Fisher served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1997 to 2006 and in the Reserve from 2006 to 2018 and is now retired.
Today, she is studying at UNH; she recently developed Fit to Garden, an accessible gardening program for the elderly. "When I was a child my dad always said, 'You could be a pilot someday.' I was hooked after a helicopter ride as an ROTC member in Pensacola," she said.
Her father has since passed away but he was with her when she got her Wings of Gold. "He was the proudest father and even joined me on a Tiger Cruise," she said.
Benjamin Kaler, a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, is a field officer with the VA's Veterans Experience Office. "VetTalkX is a TEDx-style platform designed to break down the stigmas and showcase Veterans as civic members; our goal is to share their stories as a way of changing the narrative," he said.
Karen Gilbert served in the U.S. Air Force and is today director of UNH's Military & Veteran Services office. She works with U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Penny Watson and U.S. Army Veteran Jessica Willis. They work with students who are Veterans, aiming to help them in their academic endeavors by connecting them with tools for success. The office partners with the VA and the state in efforts to ensure these students are supported throughout their education experience.
The partnership with the Manchester VA allows the VA to engage with new students and continue the relationships from there.
"Rolling out the VA VetTalkX program enhances the relationship between UNH and VA and really elevates it to the next level," said UNH ROTC alumnus and U.S. Army Veteran Kevin Forrest, interim director at the medical center.
The Manchester VA outreach team was on-hand during the VA resource fair, sharing information on benefits and services.
"They didn't have many of these programs when I was a student," Forrest said.
"Today, there is a wealth of services – local, state and federal. Our job in partnership with UNH's Veteran and military service office is to help connect Veterans with experts who will assist them in maximizing their earned benefits."
The "icing on the arena" for the day may have been the smiles on the faces of Vets from the New Hampshire Veterans Home in Tilton who came to enjoy the UNH men's hockey game as guests of UNH's MVS office.
These Vets were honored and celebrated. World War II Vets Anthony Nigro, 99, and Walter Pierce, 100, were bundled up for the occasion.
The day was topped off with UNH's 3-1 win over UMass.
Those who would like to have the Manchester VA at their outreach events should contact Mike Bichrest at 624-4366, ext. 2830.

Ruby Rose Quits as BATWOMAN
In some surprising news, The CW's Batwoman is now on the hunt for a new Kate Kane.
Courtesy of Variety, Batwoman star Ruby Rose has departed the series just a matter of days after its debut season came to a close in the US.
On her decision to step away from the cape and cowl, Rose said, "I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season. This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show. I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created."
Rose first turned up as Batwoman in 2018's Elseworlds crossover event, before then having her own Batwoman show debut last October. That show would go on to be the second most-viewed of The CW's shared Arrowverse series during its debut season.
The current plan is still for Batwoman's second season to premiere in January 2021, with tentative plans to do a crossover tale with the impending Superman and Lois show that's in the works.
From The CW's standpoint, they've released a statement to reiterate that they are committed to Batwoman's long-term future and that they "look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months."
So the good news is that Batwoman will be back for a second season, but the bad news is that the series now has a Ruby Rose-shaped hole to fill.

Washington DC is such a cool city. And, maybe controversially, I preferred it to New York – a few less people, a lot more museums, a bit slower pace, not so many crowded attractions. We visited in May and spent 5 days exploring at a fairly leisurely pace.
Below is my top 5 for Washington, with 'best of the rest' and our full itinerary at the end.
ONE. Monument & Memorial Walk
We had one day of nice weather in DC, so decided to make the most of it by doing the Monument Walk round the National Mall and Tidal Basin. It was a great way to spend half a day (the walk took us about 4 hours in total at a decent pace with a few breaks). The route we took was: Washington Monument – World War 2 Memorial – Vietnam Memorial – Lincoln Memorial – Korean War Memorial – Martin Luther King Memorial – Roosevelt Memorial – Jefferson Memorial. This was also a nice way to explore the National Mall and walk round Tidal Basin.
TWO. Museums, Museums and more Museums
If you love museums, then Washington is the place for you. There are so many to choose from – from American History to the Natural World, African History or the FBI – there's something for everyone. We visited 6 museums and rated them as follows:
- Newseum – I work for a media company so I'm biased but this museum was basically not just the story of News or the first amendments, but also the story of huge news events – such as the Vietnam War, 9/11, Civil Rights and there was even a gallery on the FBI. There is also an amazing terrace overlooking the Capitol Building.
- International Spy Museum – a museum dedicated to the history of spycraft. What's not to like?
- National Museum of American History – The story of America; from the Civil War to the Presidents themselves, a fascinating museum
- Natural History Museum – A museum dedicated to the story of our world including human evolution, human geography, animal species and current threats to our planet
- Ford's Theater – This is where Abraham Lincoln was shot and the museum tells the story of the Civil War and his life, as well as allowing entrance to the theater itself
- National Museum of Air and Space – stories of the space race, discovering the galaxy, current space exploration and the history of flight. So interesting!
THREE. Capitol Hill
A must see for anyone visiting Washington. The building is beautiful and the Capitol Hill area has lots of nice bars and restaurants so is a cool place to spend a laid back afternoon. You can do tours, but they were fully booked for the 5 days we were there when we arrived, so book before you travel!
FOUR. Food
The food in Washington was really good. We particularly loved the Washington institution – Ben's Chilli Bowl. It's a short metro ride out of the centre, but so worth it! Without doubt, the best chilli I've ever had…which is probably why the likes of Barack Obama and Bono have both eaten there!
We also loved Rasika Indian. We didn't book a table, and the only seats they had left were at a bar overlooking the kitchen. We sat there watching the chefs cook, drinking far too much Prosecco and having such amazing food a quick bite turned in to a 3 hour meal.
Tune Inn on Capitol Hill was also nice. It's a bit of a typical dive bar, with taxidermy adorning the walls. But the atmosphere was cool, everyone in there was friendly, and the food hearty and delicious. Perfect for a spot of lunch before or after visiting the Capitol building.
FIVE. Arlington Cemetery
Arlington Cemetery is a short metro trip out of the city, and definitely worth a visit. We spent a full afternoon there walking around. It's hard to not be moved by the sheer quantity of graves. It's even more shocking when you think America hasn't had a war on it's home soil since the Civil War in the 1800s!
Whilst there, it is common to see a funeral procession, which can feel a little bit like you are intruding on someone else's very personal moments of grief, but I think as long as you are respectful as the procession passes that's all you can do.
You can also watch the changing of the Guard, and visit the John F Kennedy eternal flame. A really moving experience which I was glad we did in the afternoon so I had a bit of reflection time in the evening. Thank you to everyone, across the world, who have given their lives for their countries.
The best of the rest in Washington DC
- The White House – you can't not visit it whilst in town!
- Potomac River Cruise – you can get on a cruise all the way to Mount Vernon (where George Washington lived) as a nice day trip, but we didn't have the time so just did a DC cruise. It left from Georgetown (see below) and cruised up the Potomac, past a couple of the monuments, up to the Pentagon and back again. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours in the sunshine.
- Georgetown – A cool area of DC with nice shops and cafes. We combined looking round the area with our River Cruise and in total spent about 5 hours doing the two.
- Sport – Catch a game of baseball or Ice Hockey, depending on when you go. We watched baseball as we visited in May. I personally prefer Ice Hockey, but it was still cool to go.
The Full Itinerary (for those who are interested)
- Day 1 – International Spy Museum, National Museum of American History, Ben's Chilli Bowl
- Day 2 – Ford's Theater, Arlington Cemetery, The White House, Monument Walk
- Day 3 – Georgetown, Potomac River Cruise, Natural History Museum
- Day 4 – Newseum, National Museum of Air and Space, Baseball game
- Day 5 – Capitol Hill, Library of Congress, Eastern Market, stroll through the park, bars and cafes of the Capitol Hill area
Thank you for reading! I hope you found this post helpful – let me know your thoughts, or experiences of visiting Washington DC in the comments below!

Modd Quad
Quadcopters for flying in a challenging envionments.
Flying in the redwoods poses interesting challenges. Your choices are either flying through the trees that seemed designed to get quads stuck, or flying above the trees at 200Ft where everything looks the same and it is easy to get lost.
I have found that propeller protection is a necessity in this environment to have any fun, unless you enjoy figuring how to get your quad out of the tree. Without protection I fly very defensively and only stay in a small area that is relatively clear. With protection I can explore and not have to worry about tapping the occasional branch. I can fly more aggressive and explore which is much more fun.
Item List
This heavy frame will allow you to bounce off trees and keep flying. It is designed to fly in difficult areas you normally would not want to fly.
Easy to build with flexible mounting options. Comes with 8 Bumpers to further increase its durability.
** Note ** High speed crashes straight into a redwood tree will damage this frame, but you will likely not notice until you land. Easily fixable with UV epoxy.
Additional Information
Suggested Components:
30.5 x 30.5mm or 20 x 20mm Flight Controller and ESC.
Micro Sized Camera (25mm Standoffs) or Mini Sized Camera (30mm Standoffs).

Whilst helping set the tone of the date and our conversation, the first portion of this is about setting the true date. Where and when we're moving out after that, will occur after the escalation after we've established.
She is just trying to let you know that she wants to be with you. Consider it this way. If you are totally to a woman and she makes a joke, what are you going to perform? You laugh.

" I appreciated the cougar online dating free uncomplicated technique and also although his account made him out to be a small douchebag, I said yes because at this moment, I had nothing to lose other than time.
Most women do not consciously know what they are drawn to. The fact is women. They are attracted to guys that make them aroused and may give them a combination of emotions. They need a guy that is not afraid to take risks. They want a person.
Through it all, you might feel as if you have lost a piece of yourself. No matter how bad things get and how hard men and women try to down you, your secret online dating is.

2020 Thai Pusam Abhishekam
Vel Muruga!
Several days ago our monks observed an abhishekam for Lord Murugan on Thai Pusam. Satguru arrived back from his travels that very same morning and was able to attend. Sannyasin Siddhanathaswami performed the abhishekam assisted by Nirvani Tejadevanatha and the younger monks. Lord Murugan was bathed in milk, yogurt, honey, citrus and more. His blessings were invoked, as the prana from these substances is reflected back into the auras of those who are present (and mentally present) during the final arati. Aum Saravanabhava Aum.

Immensely enjoy the posts which the atma is fed through dharsan of beautiful photos and the words from our Masters – mahalo for taking the time to create this.
Ever there in astral form at vibrant festivals – Lord Murugan is beautifully present in His Kauaian Home; physically one of the most beautiful murtis I have ever seen. Well worth a trip half way around the world simply to see Him there! Happy Thai Pusam.
