West Seattle, Washington
Car prowls, car prowls, car prowls – that's what Southwest Precinct Operations Lt. Ron Smith just told the Highland Park Action Committee is that neighborhood's biggest crime problem – like most other West Seattle neighborhoods: 145 in this area so far this year, compared to 46 in the same period last year. HP's Westcrest Park is a hot spot, though not as much as Lincoln Park; Lt. Smith hailed the vigilant citizens who have stepped up keeping eyes on the park, and he encouraged people to keep reporting them, even if nothing was taken: "We need to report these crimes," even if that means a jump in stats because more people are reporting what happens.
Also up this year over last: Robberies, especially along the southernmost boundary of Highland Park (SW Roxbury) – about a fourth of them were "shoplifting (incidents) gone bad." Residential burglary is happening at about the same rate has last year, and "we've arrested one prolific burglar/car prowler recently, so hopefully we'll see a reduction," Lt. Smith noted, adding that non-residential burglary is down by more than half.
Still to come at HPAC, in our next report – city reps are here with their draft recommendation for what should be done with the city-owned Myers Way Parcels; we'll have the details later tonight.
The Highland Park Improvement Club's "Uncorked" wine-tasting fundraiser packed the house last night, for wine-tasting, appetizers, and an auction to raise money for the nonprofit community organization. One item was a subtle reminder of some travails that HPIC's almost-century-old community-center building at 12th/Holden has encountered this spring:
That art donated to the auction by R. Mac was painted on a piece of the overhang that came down, we're told. The auction also included some more-conventional items, including these festive baskets:
A major change for this year's "Uncorked" – instead of it being a sort of wine-tasting potluck, with participants bringing wine to contribute, the wine was provided by local wineries, including the South Seattle College (WSB sponsor) Northwest Wine Academy:
In our photo are Jessica and Phyllis from the academy; they brought a rosé. (NWA's spring-release event is coming up June 9th-11th, by the way.)
P.S. This year's "Uncorked" sponsors again included WSB.
The folks at Highland Park Improvement Club want to make sure you know that, post-"eyebrow" trouble, their building is back in business again – they just hosted the monthly Corner Bar on Friday night and have another big event on the way:
The awnings are gone, the building is safe, and we are back in business! Movie Night, Corner Bar, Highland Park Uncorked, and all classes and events are on! More than ever, we need your support to help make this neighborhood gathering place better.
Highland Park Uncorked is Saturday, May 21. Tastings from 8 local wineries, raffle, silent auction featuring local artists – register here.
(Sponsors for HP Uncorked include WSB.) HPIC is at 12th SW/SW Holden.
Big changes this year for the Highland Park Improvement Club's annual wine-tasting fundraiser, Highland Park Uncorked, coming up Saturday, May 21st:
Registration is now open for our 8th Annual Highland Park Uncorked! We are so excited to be planning this event, with a few changes that will be sure to impress you!
Register now, as we're sure to sell out.
A few noteworthy changes & new events:
*We now provide the wine for you! We're working with 8 local wineries to bring you some amazing wines to try! So leave your bottles at home, the wine is on us…
*Everyone gets a commemorative glass to take home! Because you are our valued guest and supporting our community, we think you all deserve one.
*Silent art auction! With so many amazing talented artists in our very own neighborhood, we will be highlighting them with a new silent auction, in addition to our regular raffle. Our club is deeply rooted in this community, and it's a perfect opportunity for us to share some of our local talents with you all.
*Wine Roulette! Test your luck by spinning our wheel and pulling a wrapped wine bottle from our 'wine cellar,' ranging from high-end bottles, worthy of sharing with the boss, to barely guest-worthy, but still drinkable. No matter what, you walk away with a bottle, the club gets a donation, and it's a great opportunity to win a top-quality bottle of wine for a cheap price.
So register now! As a reminder, we book out in tables of 10. So book an entire table, or we'll put smaller groups together so you can cozy up to some new friends.
(WSB is among the co-sponsors of HP Uncorked again this year.)
That photo is from Nancy, one of two smashed-in vehicle windows she noticed at Westcrest Park Off-Leash Area late today. We've had other reader reports lately, and the SPD crime-report map shows nine car-prowl reports in the general Westcrest vicinity in the past month, though that's likely an undercount, since some don't report it and some file online, which takes a while to work through the system. While an SPD "car-prowl prevention" one-sheet mentions calling 911, Nancy says today's victims tried that and were pointed to the non-emergency line, where they gave up while waiting (as we've been reporting, the call center has fewer 911 lines while renovations are under way and calltakers are in temporary quarters).
Don't leave anything in your car; you might not be as "lucky" as one recent victim, whose backpack and wallet were stolen from her car – also via window-smashing – while she was walking her dogs; the backpack was found tossed aside at 14th and Barton, according to the finder, who contacted us while trying to locate the owner. The victim told the finder that hundreds of dollars were run up on the cards in her wallet before she got them canceled.
Some of your West Seattle neighbors have been out doing awesome things this weekend. Thanks to Highland Park Action Committee chair Gunner Scott for the photos and report on Saturday's HP Community Cleanup:
Thanks to the 15 neighbors who came out to pick up trash at Highland Park Playground; on SW Holden from Highland Parkway to 16th Ave SW; down Highland Parkway to Othello and the 3 traffic circles on 12th Ave SW at Thistle, Cloverdale, and Trenton.
A few more areas of West Seattle have cleanups in the works for this month – stand by for news on those!
12:57 PM: We're getting word of a big Seattle Police response near Highland Park Way and Holden right now – you might see the Guardian One helicopter helping with the search too. SPD tells us it's a foot pursuit of someone who ran from police, a possible suspect in a package theft. We're on the way to find out more.
1 PM: We're not there yet but hearing via scanner that the suspect might be in custody.
1:14 PM: About all we can verify is that the search is over – helicopter left and police cleared just as we were running up – had to park on the other side of Holden and traffic was too jammed for an easy crossing. Will follow up shortly with media relations in hopes their system has the info.
From last night's Highland Park Action Committee meeting:
HIGHLAND PARK ELEMENTARY UPDATE: Two years after the school community reached out to its nearest community council, in hopes of enlisting help with its struggle as one of the most-challenged schools in the district, it was time for an update. HPE's principal, PTA representatives, and School Board director Leslie Harris were among those who spoke. We recorded it on video:
In all, principal Chris Cronas said many good things have happened but many challenges remain. He has been working on social/emotional learning. Also, the school adds a 6-hour preschool next year, and his staff is working with churches and other area groups to identify the preschoolers who will attend.
MYERS PARCELS: Open-space advocates from around the city are coalescing to try to stop the city from selling this land in southeast West Seattle. Mary Fleck from Seattle Green Spaces Coalition spoke to HPAC:
The land is left over from a city land purchase that was originally related to the Joint Training Facility next door. As reported here previously, the mayor earmarked $5 million from the expected future sale to help fund programs to address homelessness. The land is commercially zoned, but advocates believe it's important as part of the Duwamish River watershed, and could have other future uses. Right now the push is to slow down the process so that there can be more outreach to people in the community who might not be aware of the potential sale plan.
HPIC BUILDING UPDATE: One week after the "eyebrow" collapse, and days after the work party to clean up after it, HPIC reps told HPAC that the remaining overhang has been braced, and now they're making plans about how to raise money for further repairs. HPIC's already-planned Uncorked annual wine-tasting fundraiser is coming up on May 21st (WSB is a co-sponsor), and that will pre-empt HPIC's movie night this month. One more note: They're considering a fenced area outside so that Corner Bar events in good-weather months can include outdoor imbibing.
HIGHLAND PARK CLEANUP DAY: Get involved in a community cleanup this Saturday! Details on this page of the HPAC website.
Highland Park Action Committee meets fourth Wednesdays, 7 pm at HP Improvement Club. Get updates between meetings at hpacinfo.wordpress.com
1:24 PM: Less than 48 hours after the "eyebrow" of their historic, almost-a-century-old building fell off (WSB coverage here), members, friends, and neighbors of the Highland Park Improvement Club are hard at work getting the debris out of the way. They have enough help, they told us, to be done this afternoon; that help included neighbors who didn't wait for the announced 11 am start time, as well as someone passing by who asked if they could take some of the plywood off HPIC's hands.
(Photo from today, by Dina Lydia Johnson)
Next step, shoring up the remaining awning, and they're putting out a call to West Seattle contractors/construction companies to see if anyone's willing to help (contact info is on the HPIC website, hpic1919.org). That's on the south side of the building, along SW Holden, where the sidewalk remains closed until the awning is shored up:
In the short run, they're hoping to put a brace on that remaining overhang. The building not only is used as a community center by Highland Park groups including HPIC – this Wednesday, for example, it's scheduled for the regular fourth-Wednesday meeting of the Highland Park Action Committee – it's also usually busy with classes, rentals, and events including movie nights and the first-Friday Corner Bar.
3:04 PM: As Alan said in comments, no work party tomorrow. Here's the official message just in from HPIC:
Thanks to all that helped! We just wrapped it up. There will not be a work party tomorrow. Many hands made light work! We do have a small pile of metal next to the large dumpster in case anyone is interested in saving us from cutting it up to size for the recycle bin! It is yours for the taking.
We are also putting out the call for a bonded contractor to remove the awning that has not fallen. We are hoping to hire someone from the neighborhood.
7:11 PM: And the latest on the building's status:
The debris from the fallen awning is cleaned up, a support post was put under the awning next to Holden and repairs were made to the handrails. We are now back open for classes and meetings. We still have a large dumpster in the middle of the parking lot for removal of the awning on the Holden side. We hope to have that awning removed soon but, until it is, we are not going to be able to support any large rentals or Corner Bar. Hopefully, we will get the rest of the awning removed very soon, as none of us want to miss Corner Bar!
(The next CB would be Friday, May 6th.)
West Seattle's historic Highland Park Improvement Club building is closed until further notice after an overhang, described as the"eyebrow" of the building, collapsed late today. Nobody was hurt, but the collapse raised safety issues and that means the much-used almost-a-century-old building at 12th and Holden is off-limits for now. Its regular uses include classes – yoga was scheduled tonight – as well as meetings and HPIC events such as Corner Bar and Movie Night; it's also rented out for special events. We covered its 90th-anniversary celebration in 2009 – read HPIC's history here – and it's where we hosted the first candidate forum of last year's historic City Council District 1 campaign, in February 2015.
Seattle Fire and Police were at the scene to help secure things. So were HPIC leaders, who told us they first heard about this from an apartment resident across the street who reported looking out her window and simply seeing the awning fall down, without even much of a sound. Seattle City Light was en route to check if any power lines were in a precarious spot if the rest of the awning came down. We'll be following up with HPIC about repair plans and needs.
Celebrate Earth Day weekend by helping out with a community cleanup. We're mentioning the ones we've heard about – yesterday, we featured Saturday's North Delridge cleanup, and today, this announcement from the Highland Park Elementary School PTA:
Saturday is the second annual HPE Earth Day Cleanup. This year we are working together with the Playground Planning Committee to both clean up the school and design our future playground. The Earth Day portion of the event will meet at the front of the school from 9:00 – 12:00, rain or shine. Come prepared to clean up and beautify the school grounds. The playground planning portion of the event is from 8:00 – 4:00. Come to either event, or both. Stay for 30 minutes, or all day! Coffee and lunch will be provided.
HPE is at 1012 SW Trenton. The Highland Park community also has a series of neighborhood cleanups planned – more on that later – and if you're looking for volunteers for your cleanup, we'd love to help; e-mail the information to firstname.lastname@example.com – thanks!
11:28 AM: Thanks to the person who tipped us about this (text/call 206-293-6302, 24/7): The guns-drawn police response in the 9400 block of 9th SW in south Highland Park is a Bellevue Police case, with Seattle Police assisting. We were told at the scene that it involves a Bellevue warrant related to auto theft. That's all we know so far, but we're checking with BPD and will update later if we find out anything more.
6:37 PM: We just heard back from BPD's public-information officer, who says, "I can confirm that investigators with our Department's Special Enforcement Team (SET) were in that area investigating a vehicle theft and serving a search warrant on a residence." Officer Seth Tyler added background on the SET, saying that it "addresses specific types of repeat crimes with an innovative, proactive approach. The team targets prolific, active criminals in an effort to lower the overall rate of reported crime. The team conducts plainclothes surveillance of targeted areas and surveillance of known active criminals and then coordinates with the King County Prosecutor's Office to ensure that arrested suspects remain in custody. Additionally, SET works frequently with the investigative units of other agencies to help address multijurisdictional offenders."
ADDED THURSDAY: More info from Bellevue PD – we're publishing a separate followup.
8:26 PM: A crowd is gathered right now for a candlelight vigil at the site of Thursday morning's deadly crash, in memory of 21-year-old Devin Francis.
They are filling both uphill lanes of Highland Park Way, so please avoid the area for a while.
9:07 PM: The vigil was breaking up as of about quarter till. We will go back in a while to check.

We've reported repeatedly in the past few weeks (most recently, on Thursday) that the "RV safe lot" announced for Highland Park has been on indefinite hold. And now, Councilmember Lisa Herbold says the mayor's office has confirmed to her that it's officially not happening – because it would cost too much, for the 10 or fewer RVs it would serve.
As a result, Herbold's office says, the two interim "safe zones" set up in SODO and Interbay will be "extended for an additional 60 days," and the 39 RV residents that were waiting there will get help with making their vehicles operational so they can comply with 72-hour parking laws, or they will get help finding "secure housing."
That doesn't address what happens to the half-dozen or so RVs that we've reported are described by SPD as "staged" along Myers Way, awaiting the now-a-no-go Highland Park lot, so we'll check on that next week.
It's been two months since the mayor's original announcement that the lot would be set up at West Marginal Way/Highland Park Way within a month, along with the one that did open in Ballard. Since then, we've made almost-daily checks of the site – a paved lot adjacent to the longtime site of an unauthorized encampment that was closed two and a half years ago – and the only sign of preparations has been a canvas-covered fence around the lot.
Though the Parks and Green Spaces Levy has been succeeded by the Seattle Park District levy, some of the P&GSL projects are still in progress – and one of them is getting extra $ from the district. That's the Highland Park play-area plan (for the park at 1100 SW Cloverdale), and a postcard that showed up in the WSB mailbox brought word of your chance to get a look at, and have a say on, play-equipment options. It's more than three weeks away – plenty of time to set yourself a reminder: Monday, April 18th – with an open house at Highland Park Elementary (1012 SW Trenton) 5:30-6 pm, and a presentation at 6.
P.S. Note that this is a different project from the one for the school's play area, which also has an event coming up, as we reported in our coverage of this week's Highland Park Action Committee meeting.
By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor
The Highland Park Action Committee started off last night's meeting feeling a little dissed.
The city promised new HPAC chair Gunner Scott that someone would be there to talk about the status of the possible future "RV safe lot" at West Marginal Way SW and Highland Park Way SW.
Nobody showed.
As of the last information Scott had – similar to what we've reported recently here and here – it's apparently on hold TFN. Scott said that was the word a few weeks ago when nearby businesses had met with the mayor's office about their concerns, and they were told a news release would make the news official.
Still waiting on that, too.
SPD Southwest Precinct Operations Lt. Ron Smith, who's provided most of the information that has been made public since the last official discussion, confirmed what Scott reported having been told, that the spaces in Ballard and Highland Park just aren't able to hold anywhere near what had been originally envisioned. Ballard is maxed out at about 16, half what the city had expected; the West Seattle lot wouldn't be able to hold more than 10.
And he repeated what he'd most recently said to the Alki Community Council, that the RVs currently "staged" by the entrance to city-owned property on the west side of Myers Way, south of the Joint Training Facility, are people "willing to work within the system" who have been helping with cleaning up the area, including nearby non-vehicle encampments.
HIGHLAND PARK ELEMENTARY: Community involvement with the school has been a priority since the special 2014 forum discussing its challenges and opportunities.
It's now been almost seven weeks since the mayor's announcement that two "safe lots" for RV/car residents would be opened within a month – one in Ballard, which did open on exactly that timeline, and one in Highland Park, where the paved lot at West Marginal Way SW and Highland Park Way remains fenced and empty. We have new information, as mentioned by Southwest Precinct Operations Lt. Ron Smith at last night's Fauntleroy Community Association meeting:
First, regarding who will use the lot, he said the precinct so far has identified nine RVs currently in the area that would be potentially eligible. The Seattle Fire Department has been evaluating the sites and wanted better spacing, he said, which might affect the capacity, though the last number we heard mentioned for the West Seattle lot was a dozen. Last week, the city Human Services Department told us that the timeline for this lot had slowed so they could "address many of the lessons learned in the first lot before we stand up a second one." The first one, according to Lt. Smith, is hosting fewer vehicles than expected, so far. As for safety and crime prevention in Highland Park, he also said the precinct has its plan ready, whenever the lot opens.
1:50 PM: When we reported last week on the former Andover Substation going up for sale on the open market, it was the only ex-substation in West Seattle – of the half-dozen reviewed in the past year and a half – to be set for that type of disposition, right now.
Now, we've discovered that a second one has a "For Sale" sign – a change from the plan that was in the works last December, when the City Council authorized disposition of the ex-substations, after a review process that stretched over more than two years. And the site has a page on the city website that just went live this morning, days after the other listings.
It's known as the White Center Substation, though it's in Highland Park, at 8820 9th SW [map]. The city report on the ex-substations last September had said that the site was suggested as a complement to a county stormwater-infrastructure project, and that the county "concurred that the former White Center Substation would be a suitable site for stormwater bio-retention."
The bill subsequently passed by the Council in December said that the site would be offered to King County at its appraised value, listed as $355,000. But that fell through, and now the site is for sale, with the flyer setting the minimum bid at $500,000 and describing the site as 13,750 square feet, zoned LR (Lowrise) 2.
We've been inquiring with the county and city as to why the sale to the county fell through, and will update with whatever we find out. Bids, meantime, are due by the end of this month.
4:05 PM: Our inquiry to the county has brought this reply from Annie Kolb-Nelson of the Wastewater Treatment Division: "King County WTD has been looking at a range of alternatives to control CSOs [combined sewer overflows] in the Lower Duwamish at West Michigan and Terminal 115, and we've been working closely with community members to understand concerns and priorities. With regard to the substation property you refer to, King County considered the parcel but later determined we could complete the project without it. However, because the community expressed interest in it, we looked into acquiring it through alternative funding such as grants or other resources to cover the purchase costs. Unfortunately, we were unable to find the funds needed."
It's been exactly 24 hours now since the Highland Park crash that ruptured a gas line and forced more than 150 people to evacuate early Friday.
(Texted photo)
We've been following up on three aspects of the incident and here's what we have found out so far:
THE GAS LINE: Late Friday morning, Puget Sound Energy crews were back at the scene, and you could clearly see the piping in the area where the car had flipped, not only sending gas flowing into the air but also triggering a high-pitched noise until the gas was turned off.
We asked PSE spokesperson Ray Lane for a little more about what was hit: "The car hit what's called a 'district regulator' – it's an important piece of equipment which helps set the pressure for natural gas moving through the system and into neighborhoods and customers' homes. That explains the sound you heard at the scene. We were notified of a problem at 12:19 a, with repairs made at 1:45 a. I believe the crews were checking on the equipment again in the daylight hours. Customer service was not impacted."
THE INTERSECTION: SW Holden/Highland Park Way is notorious for crashes and traffic backups. The community and city have partnered on exploring possible solutions, such as a roundabout, or traffic signal. And that's still where things stand, a year-plus later, SDOT's Jim Curtin told us when we asked for an update on Friday: "We're working with nearby residents to develop a Neighborhood Street Fund proposal for this location but we do not have any official projects planned at this time."
THE DRIVER: We weren't able to learn anything more Friday about the driver who was taken to the hospital after flipping his car, but we know SPD classified the case as a DUI investigation.
When Mayor Murray first announced on January 19th that the city would open two "safe lots" for people living in RVs and other vehicles – one in Highland Park and one in Ballard – he said the city expected to have them open within 30 days.
While the one in Ballard made that timeline – opening February 19th – there's been no sign of activity on the West Seattle site, a paved lot at W. Marginal Way SW and Highland Park Way, aside from a canvas-covered chain-link fence around it. We've been asking city reps frequently for an update on the plan, and today there's a new answer. From Katherine Jolly of the Human Services Department:
We are currently focused on getting the Ballard safe lot fully operational before we open the second lot. As you know, this is the first time the City has done this and we want to make sure we address many of the lessons learned in the first lot before we stand up a second one. I will keep you posted as we decide on a more specific timeline for the second Safe Lot.
The two lots together were originally announced as expected to hold a total of 50 vehicles; the most recent estimate for the Highland Park lot was 12. We have a followup question out to Jolly to ask about the current count at the Ballard lot, which had four when we went by two days after it opened.
Five years after becoming co-chairs of the Highland Park Action Committee, Carolyn and Billy Stauffer have stepped down, and their successors were chosen at Wednesday night's meeting. Afterward, they sent the photo and announcement:
Pleased to introduce our new leaders! Shown left to right in the attached photo are:
Craig Rankin – vice-chair
Beth Andrisevic – secretary
Michelle Glassley – treasurer
Michele Witzki – speaker liaison
Gunner Scott – chair
Thank you to Highland Park and Riverview for these new awesome voices for our community!
HPAC meets on fourth Wednesdays, 7 pm, at the historic Highland Park Improvement Club building at 12th and Holden – watch hpacinfo.wordpress.com for updates.

|Played Inshalla this weekend with my sister and brother in-law, who are new members. The course was in very good shape. The greens were in great shape. Most of the greens in central Wisconsin are in terrible shape right now, due to winter kill. So this is a course I will play again in the near future. The management of this club has done a great job. The staff is very friendly.

5' Elk Antler Floor Lamp is a piece of art!
6 synthetic elk antlers weave and twist from the floor up to the natural, rustic-looking lamp shade to create a Lamp unlike anything you've seen before! Each of the incredibly life-like antlers were professionally handcrafted from medium-density polyethylene and individually hand-stained and painted to look exactly like the real deal! In fact, the only difference you'll probably notice between these antlers and the genuine article is a much lower price! 5' x 3'. 25 watt bulb recommended (not included).

Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura)
I am a brand new gardener and with the early, hot spring we had here in Missouri, I had a hanging plant on my porch in March. Much to my surprise and delight, a dove made her nest and had 2 babies. I was sad to see them fly away,but so tickled they were healthy. Much to my surprise, and even after moving the planter, I am now on the 4th nest, 8 babies born in all- and I just love watching them!!! Any advise on good food for them or shelter when it gets chilly? I have done a little research and understand they don't typically like bird feeders that are hung up.
Doves are ground feeders. They like to eat their food from off the ground. Just about any birdseed, millet, cracked corn, hulled sunflower seeds, safflower ... just about anything, I think, Just scatter the seed on the ground or put the food in a pan on the ground. They will usually find their own shelter. I am not sure about nests for them. I've never had dove nests. :)
Thanks! Just last night another egg hatched. I made a make-shift feeder out of a plant stand right below the nest so she didn't have to go very far to feed. Only drawback to that is there is a few 4-legged critters that like to eat from it also, but they have to eat too!! I just have to keep filling it. I just love watching her interact with the babies and daddy bird.
Lovely! Can you get any photos?

Transcending reality in wet plate collodion / Vlog E02, S01
Dear followers,
as I've promised I'm publishing my third episode (I count also the episode zero) of my vlog while pursuing my goal to publish an artist photo-book. Of course, the theme of my book will be Kočevski rog woodland and this time I went to one of the most beautiful places, Ponikve valley.
I was wondering how long should my vlog videos be and what should be the mix of entertainment and informative content. This is what I think it's good. Please let me know your opinion. In each episode I will include a tip or two about the process, but the main topic will be artistic vision, composition, asking questions and the search for answers. Just don't ask me to do camera review blogs, they are boring. Photography and cameras is like traveling and wheels. It is related, but not dependent upon. I will do a book review, here and there, but not one of those 100 famous photographers everybody know. I will rather do a review of work that nobody knows, like I've done from Peter Župnik, Herman Pivk and many others. Basically photographers whose quality does belong on top 100 list, but they will never be world famous photographers, because of circumstances.
I've described my intention in the previous blog post, but let me highlight that I haven't realised before, but all the likes and shares are well important, since the large social network is the guarantee that my book will actually be published, so thank you in advance! So if you think this content is worthy, please press like and share it. If I've made your day, please you could buy me a cup of tea every month via my PATREON page and if you could afford, thank you for bidding on my Ebay auction.
The print on sale is an albumen print, toned with gold toner, from wet plate collodion negative. It's listed on EBAY.

How to Publish a PhotoBook – Vlog E01/S01
Dear followers,
I've been doing photography since I was a kid, from age 11 and when I was studying photography at FAMU Academy in Prague, we had to submit finalised project in a book form. I didn't had the money for a book binder, so I've done it myself. I wasn't a good bookbinder, but I loved the process of book making. I knew then that I want to do more books, I knew I love it, it's perfect medium for my photography!
Fast forward 21 years later I've made about 30 handmade books, but I've published only one book, the book Tales from Gorjanci Hills and here is the link to the images. Technical note for photographers: those images are all shot on 6×7 format colour negative film! It was selectively illuminated and all done in one go. It took me 30-60 minutes for a single shot and because I wasn't sure what has film recorded I repeated the take, so it was very slow progress.
Anyway all those years I tried to publish a book. I got great reviews and invitations for show, my work is published in many books if I mention few: Fabrica 10: From Chaos to Order and Back, Generation "74" and numerous art catalogues and magazines like Museum Duolun from Shanghai, Days Japan from Tokio, Nikon magazine, …
But as I've expressed myself frustratingly, I did not managed to publish an art book of my own. Now this is going to change. Today is 14th of May 2016. In one year time I will publish an art book of my own. My cunning plan is revealed in the video. The information that I saved for my next video is that I am not intending to do a video that will be a checklist of to-do list, no Sir, but I will make a video journal of my weekly steps in making the book published.
I was thinking which book should I publish first and on the end I've decided that if I want to make this vlog really interesting I have to start from scratch. I am starting a episode 01 of the series 01 without a single photograph taken. Don't worry everything else is ready. On Monday rain will stop and then I'm off the leash!
Please do share the video, press like, subscribe and if you can afford to buy me one tea per month, please visit my patreon page. Lastly let me say I can't answer all the email questions about the process, but I do answer to all the questions asked by my patrons, which is a great deal for 1$ a month support.
PS: To all my fellow european wet platers, I hope you will have a great time in Eindhoven at European Collodion Weekend, I am not coming because the very next weekend I'm traveling to Barcelona to Revela-T festival, where I have two workshops and a demonstration. Next year I will come to ECW with the new book, I'm sure of that!

At 5am in Venice
Few weeks ago I had a job in Venice and I couldn't resist not to do some 5am photography. 5am is one of my favourite projects. The basic concept is to be a part of the day when night had finish already and the day haven't started yet.
Sometime around 5am there exists a subtle moment when day chases its tail. Laborers are off to work; party-goers are finding their way home.
In the wee hours, ambiguity rages between night and day, light and dark, predator and prey, mind and instinct, life and death. This surreal relationship between contrasts seems to linger in what is just the blink of an eye.
In one sentence, it's a love affair with light. I love it, being awake before everybody and having an eternity just for myself. I walk and observe without any rush, without any obligations and without any expectations whatsoever. It's my walking meditation channeled trough photography.
As I've mentioned in the video I've started the project in Fabrica in year 2000, because after Oliviero Toscani left, I could not get a permission to go out and do photography. My kind of photography! You know, the kind of photography that does not sound sane in an application form and on top of that it does not have a deadline or a goal to achieve? I remember very clearly when a senior staff was explaining me that I should sketch how will my photographs look like, before I take a camera in my hands. I explaining him that if I would do so, I would make an image that is made with my mind and my mind is just recycling concepts and in this way I can not come up with nothing original. You can imagine the face of the temporary head of the department…
Anyhow, in the video above is presented a book dummy that I've created in 2008. After that I was doing my 5am routine wherever I traveled and bellow there are few recent images from Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, USA, Czech Republic and of course Venice, Italy.
The project will be finished in a book, I'm quite certain about it. You might remember that in my post from Les Recontres Arles festival I've mentioned that Dewi Lewis remembered me for some crazy project of mine? In one sentence I've met Mr. Lewis more then ten years ago at Frankfurt Book Fair and after all those years he still remembered me and one of my crazy projects. He remembered my 5am project! How amazing is that?!?
To repeat fast, Dewi Lewis is one of the most important photography book publishers in the world and he was a publisher of Martin Parr (before Faidon), William Klein, Erwin Olaf, to name just few and he remembered my 5am project ten years later when we've met in Arles. Of course I will make new 5am book dummy and send it to him.
If you will be in Vienna Photo Book Festival I will be there also with my photo books. That said, the book isn't published yet, so I can't sell you one, but someday I will.
Bellow are images that I've made in Venice. This is my selection from couple of mornings and only few images will actually end in a book. At the bottom there is a slideshow I've made years ago with music of Daniel Wehr. Daniel was a fellow student in Fabrica.it in year 2000 and he made this music for my 5am project. He even walked with me one 5am morning, recording sound, but he didn't like the sound of camera shutter, so next day I got up even sooner at 4am
Analog manipulation of photography by Borut Peterlin
Excellent news, I'm going to Rochester, USA, again, to make a pilgrimage to George Eastman House and have a workshop with none other then Mark Osterman! This time I will learn from the master how to retouch glass negatives. Concerning expenses, the time in not right, but I just have to go to this workshop, because I was always interested in alternating a photograph by hand. Ironically I've completely stopped with my photomontages when I did digital photography, although I master Photoshop just as well. Photoshop, Instagram, Photomatix and other digital effects are so generic I don't like it at all. I can't explain why I love analog manipulation so much. I really can't, I know it's basically the same as digital manipulation, but my feelings are very different.
I've looked back 23 years and made a collection of my analog manipulated images. I've forgot to mention in the video the project The Tales of Gorjanci Hills, published by Založba Goga ten years ago.So you understand, I have to go to Rochester for this workshop, I have no choice. The only problem is money, of course. As a professional artist, living in Slovenia, the country where art market does not exist, I'm forced for guerrilla sale tactics. I know nobody is selling their art prints on ebay as an auction from 0,99$, but I've had some great success, so I decided to resort myself again to this tactic.
Hey, if I started with 23 year old photographs, let me tell you about the dream I had in my teenage years! All I wanted is to make a living out of photography and the only people I knew at the time that were making a living out of photography were people who had a printing lab and making portraits for ID cards. And believe it or not, that was my dream at the time, to work in a printing lab and do ID portraits! And look at me now, I have no fear of putting a print of mine on ebay as an auction from 0,99$ and with it (partly) finance the trip to the workshop at Rochester!
The auction will be for just three days and then perhaps I will put a new print on auction.
Was ist Kunst? (inspired by Robert M. Pirsig)
Was ist Kunst?* or What is art is the question that was not invented together with with the art itself but it was invented in Ancient Greece and in this blog post I'm settling the score once it for all and give answer what art is. I warn you though, you might not like it
As followers of my blog know, for my 40th birthday I've bought a Land Rover 109 old-timer car that is even older then me, it's 43 years and for last fifteen years it was standing in a garage. You can imagine that once I've started driving it, an avalanche of malfunctions blasted on my shoulders. It's almost two months since it's standing on my courtyard and I can't move it to a mechanic and since it's freezing winter a mechanic don't want to come and take a look. It got a nickname The Real Estate! The good thing is that I've spent last three years learning collodion photography from scratch, so I have a stamina an patience to sort things out, so I used the expression from Jeremy Clarkson: How hard can it be? and decided to fix the car on my own.
For inspiration I've read for the third time the book Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig and I confess, only this time I can say I've understood the message of the book. No wonder this book is in Guinness book of world records as the bestseller that was rejected by 121 publishers before 122nd actually published it and soon became a bestseller, with over five million copies sold.
OK, you may ask what does that has to do with the bombastic introduction in my post? Everything. This book made me realise what art is and changed my life profoundly. The line of thoughts that will follow is very influenced by the book and before you will condemn me, I publicly admit that I will misquote and misinterpret the book, so I strongly recommend that you read it by your own pace. (It's even in Slovenian for my Slovenian following presidents!)
So, what Art is???
On the Internet there are many articles on what art is, but let me highlight a very simplistic, populistic easy reading article 27 Responses to the Question "What is Art?".
But that very simplistic article will give you just as much valid answer as any art historian would. Let me say it more correctly. Any art historian will give you just as false answer as any article. (yes, including this one)
The original sin of an attempt to define what art is, is that people are aiming in the wrong direction! We are looking at things in gallery and question if this should be there, if this is art. We expect that an object would have some sort of ingredient that would define it as art, some sort of objectiveness. In ancient times that ingredient was gold, whatever object contained gold and other expensive materials, it was glorified as art. Then it was the craft! Obviously some painters can draw with breathtaking accuracy and expressing themselves with huge skill. Then came avant-garde and scandalous Duchamp's signed urinal entitled Fountain is still a case of questioning if that is art. And so on, and so on…
Any attempt to define what art is, is like standing in a river, facing downstream, observing what river flow is bringing and evaluating. You could devote your life doing that, but you could not foretell the future. Every mathematical equation works both way. 1+1=2 and so it is 2=1+1. Art is not mathematic and there isn't a person in the world who could not tell you what you need to do to create art.
To be honest there are few super-stars curators that do speculate and take a role of weather forecasters and decide what contemporary art is. But those people are not to be mistaken for art-historians, although they might have an education in art-history, they are creators, they curate exhibitions, they decide who will win what award, they are more contemporary artists then art historians. But even so they can not come up with an answer what art is.
In today's times we divide between art and craft, but that wasn't so in the ancient times. Aristotle's cosmological work On The Heavens is the most influential treatise of its kind in the history of humanity and as I've learned he started the concept of subjective and objective, the foundation of western civilisation.
In the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Pirsig talks about Quality, Ancient Greeks named that principle Arete and I've recognised the roots of the Art. Arete = Art
Arete (/ˈærətiː/; Greek: ἀρετή), in its basic sense, means "excellence of any kind".[1] The term may also mean "moral virtue".[1] In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential.
I think ancient Greeks got it right, we missed it completely. Art is a process of creation and although it does leave traces behind, those traces aren't ART itself, they are footprints left behind by artists. Those foot prints can be objective as a painting in a gallery or subjective as a dance in a theatre. Those foot prints are worthless if they aren't made by art in action, if they aren't done as Arete! And if we see the footsteps, we might imagine the line of thought the line of creation the line of craft that the artist was taking while creating the art piece. Our creativity fuels with inspiration.
Let me be more precise, the Art is not the Mona Lisa in Louvre, or Duchamp's Fountain or a leap of dance of a dancer. The Art is an event that happened and after the event a trace is left behind. Let me say it with other words. Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo Da Vinci is just as much art as are the ruins of Pompeii the city of Pompeii! The road sign Rome is not the city of Rome, nor is a souvenir or any building or a person living in the city!
That revelation opened my eyes and from now on I see the world differently. Last two days I was fixing my Land Rover. I approached the work with the arete attitude as I'm making the most important exhibition in my life. I suspected that the cause of my problems is the fuel pump. Two weeks ago I didn't know what a mechanical a fuel pump is, but I've focused on the problem, dismantled it, changed all the valves, diaphragm, seals and put it back. Now works perfectly and it will continue so for the next ten years. Unfortunately, I realised that the cause of my car's malfunction is not the fuel pump, but it's distributor. I ordered new parts. Nevertheless the fuel pump, poor girl, needed the restoration.
Let me finish with paraphrasing Pirsig with the case of my Land Rover.
Objects are just atoms and molecules. They do not have a moral or a feeling for what is right and what is wrong. They are what they are because somebody rearrange materials in the way they are. The malfunction does not exist in a car, it exist solely in the viewer's mind. The car is a direct reflection of it's viewer's interpretation.
The car that is standing still for two months in my courtyard represent disharmony in me and I've decided to regain the peace by fixing the car. I am using wrenches, bolts, spanners but my most important tool is ARETE, the will to do whatever is needed to do, so the car will fit my interpretation of how it should be. I use arete to regain the internal peace and that will happen only when my concept of a car will be aligned with my senses.
This process is the feeling that every artist know. It's a feeling when you are alive, when your hands are golden, hands are moving and miracle is emerging right in front of your eyes! An artist is not separated from the the object until the object is aligned with artist's interpretation how it should be and it brings peace to the artist. When the artist finishes working on it, from this moment on, art (arete) seize to be and the artist and the art object become two separate entities.
Do you see, people are looking at an object and questioning if this is art, but they are aiming it at the wrong direction. Art is an event, not an object!!!

Here is a new video. It's pretty long, 10 minutes, I went through few times and edited out as much as I could to make it shorter, but there is quite a lot of information included, so I hope you will find it worthy of your time. The prints I've made I'm not putting them on ebay auction, since last two auctions didn't went that well, to be honest. Plus last week my work was being presented at ArtMarket Budapest, an international art fair, by Photon Gallery. I am on the right path, my work received good attention, I've met some very important curators and collectors and I've realized that all I need at this time is just a little more patience and I reckon one more year to catch up with boys & girls from the first art league. I know I will get there, but I'm not there quite yet. I will stop with Ebay auctions for now. The prints are still on sale, of course just send me an email of inquiry CLICK.

"Movie 43" is just plain wrong ... and not in a good way
Critic confessions: Writing reviews for comedies is not easy. Comedy, more so than any other genre, is very subjective, so it's pretty hard to try to explain why some fall on their faces and others are raucous laugh riots. What one person may find hilarious, another may find juvenile, offensive or just plain unfunny. It's all just a matter of personal preference.
That being said, it would be my personal preference for "Movie 43" to be buried at the bottom of the ocean, never to be seen again by human eyes. It is not funny. It barely even registers as amusing. It's a painfully unpleasant and uncomfortable 90-minute sit that made me angry walking out of the theater. The profane short film compilation doesn't even have the decency to be well made.
The frame story feebly holding "Movie 43" together involves Dennis Quaid pitching terrible movie ideas to an increasingly befuddled movie producer, played by Greg Kinnear. The awful pitches take the form of the short stories that comprise the film. Now, this is the point during the pre-production meetings that somebody should've raised his or her hand and asked "Wait, the entire movie is made up of bad movie concepts? Isn't this a dumb idea?"
Unfortunately, this hypothetical conversation never happened, leaving viewers with the following painful skits: Kate Winslet goes on a blind date with Hugh Jackman, who has male genitalia dangling from his neck; Anna Faris wants her boyfriend Chris Pratt to poop on her; Terrence Howard encourages his basketball team to victory by constantly reminding them of their race; Emma Stone and Kieran Culkin profanely bicker in a supermarket while creepy customers leeringly listen; Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville kidnap a profane leprechaun; Richard Gere invents an iPod in the shape of a naked woman; and an animated cat wants to have sex with Josh Duhamel, which doesn't please his girlfriend, Elizabeth Banks.
There are a few other sketches, as well as a few clumsy commercials that don't fit with the theme. Almost all of it is uncomfortable to watch, as each short embarrasses its stars or becomes repulsively crass. There are no jokes or clever lines, just tasteless situations that start at the bottom of the barrel and then proceed to dig themselves deeper.
Even if this kind of humor is down your alley, however, there's simply no excuse for how sloppily it's executed. Each skit wears out its welcome within a few seconds, as it seems obvious the 11 directors and 15 writers came up with the concepts and didn't bother developing them to fill at least ten minutes. Then, after repeating the same embarrassing joke, the sketches throw up their hands and simply give up. Cue the next abysmal sketch.
The worst is the frame story, which, after building to a conflict between Greg Kinnear and his boss (played by Common), just stops and shows what seems to be a deleted scene in which Kinnear asks if they have any more skits to run. Unfortunately, they do.
The hope with most short film anthologies is that if one sketch fails, it won't last long, and a new, better one will take its place. In "Movie 43," there's no hope in sight save for the end credits. And even that is a fake-out, as midway through, the movie realizes it forgot a skit and plays James Gunn's vigorously ugly piece featuring masturbating animated cats and child murderers. You know what they say: Send 'em home with a smile!
There are faint glimmers of a funny movie scattered throughout "Movie 43" – as you'd hope from a cast and crew so large. The premise of the homeschooling sketch starring Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber has potential, albeit untapped. A skit about a bunch of guys freaking out about a girl's first period is mildly amusing in its mockery of males' fear of the female body. I like Stephen Merchant's dumb grin in an unfortunate sketch about an escalating game of truth or dare with Halle Berry (I'm really stretching for positives here).
Like a dollar bill at the bottom of a landfill, however, these scant tolerable moments aren't worth having to drudge through the dirty, rotten trash surrounding them. If the goal was to make the most offensive film of the year, congratulations "Movie 43," you succeeded. Can we go back to trying to make people laugh now?

milROCKeeguy, I do believe the blogger prefaced his post by admitting that everyone has a different idea of what constitutes "funny" and that his opinion may differ from that of others.
MY point, since you missed it, wasnt' that movies or music or video games influence violence. My point was that too many critics (and movie goers) have been brainwashed to think that all it should take for a movie to be considered "great" is to throw a bunch of violence or nudity or loud noises or car chase scenes together with no real story line or without provoking any meaningful emotion in the viewer. This blogger is one of the rare few who expects more than just loud noises and sorta funny one-liners from a movie and I applaud him for that.

I'm pretty sure greendoor and TosaJim have not seen this movie, and probably won't now with this review. What I would like the blogger to confess is what movies he thinks are funny. My guess is New Year's Eve, or a romantic comedy. Another guess may be that he has never watched Funny or Die's show on cable. This is exactly what this movie is. Short sketches into one. But again, I would like to know what the blogger finds as funny, when it comes to movies out there. Plus, I'm guessing TosaJim and greendoor also feel that movies (and music, and video games) influence violence in our society.

I have to say, I really like the critic that wites this blog. We've become so accepting of swear words, violence, and sex scenes that most critics today are too quick to rate a move as "thrilling" or "action packed" or "a real riot". But this blogger is a rarity - one who actually sifts through the cussing and the nudity and the violence for violence's sake to examine the real story (and asks if a story is even there) or the real emotion the viewer is left with (and questions if it's a worthy emotion to be feeling....you shouldn't walk out of a comedy feeling mad, after all!). Kudos on some great reviews!

A decade ago, it would have been a calamity for Contact Energy to have as little natural gas contracted for the next five years as it declared in its annual profit results this week.
OPINION: Back then, gas-fired, baseload power stations were the mainstay of the Contact fleet, and much of the company's corporate energy focused on where new gas would come from.
In the mid-2000s, the concern became so acute that in concert with Genesis Energy, Contact seriously considered options for importing liquefied natural gas.
Yet, almost as their "Gasbridge" joint venture was gaining traction, the world changed, with a major shift towards geothermal and wind generation in response to the spike in gas prices.
So much so, in fact, that geothermal output exceeded gas-fired power production for the first time last year, according to Edison Investment Research, which has just published its first yearbook giving an exhaustive review of the New Zealand petroleum sector.
While several new gasfields came to market since - most notably Kupe and Pohokura - gas prices stayed high at about $7.50 per gigajoule.
Now, however, gas production is on a tear, linked to recent increases in oil output. For the first time in at least half a decade, a buyer's market is emerging for the small club of five major industrial gas users in New Zealand - Contact, Genesis Energy, Vector, Methanex and Ballance AgriNutrients.
Add to this mix five years in which there has been virtually no growth in electricity demand, thanks to global and local recessions, and Contact chief executive Dennis Barnes can see no case for his company to build new generation, gas-fired or renewable, for at least four or five years.
In fact, just as they come to market for part-privatisation, electricity companies are facing stagnant demand and, by the standards of the electricity industry, unprecedented competition for retail customers. As a result, all can be expected to try to squeeze costs and delay new capital spending, since these are now the only routes to improved profitability.
That's also why Meridian says its next most attractive development after the Mill Creek windfarm in the Ohariu Valley, where first earth was turned this week, is in New South Wales.
Despite this, electricity tariffs will continue to rise, but mostly because of galloping increases in the charges passed through by the monopolies that control the wires: the national grid operator Transpower and local electricity networks. If anything, the profitability of retail customers is going backwards for power retailers at the moment, no matter how much the public sees them as price gougers.
Back at Contact, much recent effort has gone into increasing gas-fired power stations' ability to ramp production up and down in response to fluctuating demand - something they weren't designed to do in an ideal world.
And Barnes says Contact may yet convert its combined cycle gas turbine units in Stratford and Otahuhu to run less efficiently as "open cycle" plant, used to fill in the gaps when the weather fails to provide enough wind or rain for windfarms and hydro-electricity.
At the same time, Contact and other major gas users are looking forward to exploiting the continuing gas-price slump.
Edison says gas prices have softened quickly in the past 12 to 18 months, with further real terms declines likely, which will see industrial and commercial gas prices fall in coming months. That's why Barnes, who has only 3 petajoules of gas contracted in three years' time, compared with 44PJ this year, is radiating confidence he will be able to get the gas he needs at much lower prices than Contact was forced to agree to in the mid-2000s.
Also striding into this mix is Methanex, owner of global-scale methanol production units at Motunui and Waitara. Both plants are likely to be out of mothballs and at full production by late next year, with Edison estimating gas prices at about $5 per GJ, which makes the investment case for Methanex "compelling".
Edison researchers John Kidd and Simon Wilson also see Methanex's growing gas demand as underpinning petroleum exploration in the next two years, which "presents as being at the early stages of a potentially sizeable uplift in reserves and deliverability".
As many as 28 offshore wells and 60 onshore wells are either committed or planned to be drilled in the next two years, costing perhaps $2.3 billion, Edison estimates.
That is likely to include politically risky deep-water exploration happening in the lead-up to the next election, but, as Edison notes, there are big economic gains on offer as well. "Since 2008/09, the Crown has received more cash as royalty payments from upstream oil and gas producers than it has received as ordinary dividends from its entire SOE portfolio."
Think about it.

text:
"Please find attached my resume / application for the position of xxxx"
or "Please find in the following...."
Are they really grammatically wrong? How should we say it correctly then?
What about "Please find my resume in the attachment for your perusal"?
I have also seen people saying "Attached is my resume / application ....", but that does not sound polite enough to me.
Thank you.
