Foggy Beach
We walked North on Ocean Beach, passing the new administration’s revamped Department of Education:
Bread & Salt
Whilst in Barrio Logan we visited Bread & Salt, “a 45,000 square-foot gallery and experimental center for the arts with strong community ties,” and I naturally found a variety of aspects of the space to photograph.

Breaking the Chains
Two Types of Sculpture
San Diego Joy
First day or two in San Diego and I shot, somewhat at random, at tourist sites, and anything else that caught my eye. Not very studied photography.
Night in the City
More images I considered, but didn’t pick for Urban Exoticism.

Plaza
Is this a liminal space? It appears to be a public sculpture plaza in a fancy building on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan. But it’s empty and devoid of people. It’s the space between the street and the Lever offices. It’s attractive but looks rather forlorn and abandoned.
Shaping Glass
As part of October Craft Month (Farnham is a World Craft Town) UCA hosted the Shaping Glass exhibition in the James Hockey Gallery in October, which I was lucky enough to see a little before it opened. Below are some quick snaps I took in the gallery.
All Hands
We passed this sculpture several times on our way to and back from the hotel but I was never able to find any placard or other source of information on it.
.. update. Thanks to eagle-eyed and dedicated blog-follower Lois A Jay, I can now link to more information on the background of this sculpture, All Hands.
Unicorns at Easter
Easter Sunday morning we took off from our Wooler hotel, walking though town before coming to St Cuthbert’s way and beginning what would turn out to be a 14½-mile walk, nearly to Beal. Click on the images below to see them larger.
Neon
Chryssa was one of the first artists to employ neon for something other than advertising. Here, Study for Gates No. 4.
Figure
As a lunch-time exercise in a workshop, I took this suggestive, close-up picture, abstracting it from its context, seen better to the left.
Heterotopia?
I’ve often posted here before on weird, open spaces, often called liminal spaces, that are neither here nor there, in between, on the threshold of elsewhere. A related concept is Foucault’s heterotopia, which I’ve also explored in earlier posts. Here, a look at a concrete terrace outside the Hayward Gallery cafeteria, separating it from the Waterloo Bridge. Get ready – more are coming.
More Sugimoto
I never knew about these metallic constructions of his. In the first image below I’ve centered and isolated the structure in black and white on its mirrored plinth, in the next I show a little more, including the reflection of a passerby and, in the final image I show the whole room with the object centred so as to cover the structure shown above (click on any of the smaller images to see them enlarged – clicking through to the web site first if you’re seeing this in an email).
Fountain
Couldn’t believe they had (the 1964 replica of) Duchamp’s famous urinal on display and I almost walked right past it. Also some suspended objets (below) that I don’t remember the story of.
