a new day a new format a change ..

So after all this rambling it was time to make a change with regards the layout and presentation and possibly the format, only slightly though. A new face to an old picture or familiar person, all breeding contempt. The contempt should be seen as part of our daily bread, such a busy week and it is only Tuesday..
so where did we get to? We, yes the Royal We, not the toilet wee, managed to get the seaweed, have fun and do a few other things.  I DiD discover a need for a bigger beard, not sure how i am going to run that past everyone, but I think there is a distinct need for a bigger beard,  how much? I cannot say at this stage how big the beard should be or how bold or subtle it should be? But we know that it should change. But we know that not unlike any other day we require our daily bread, I wonder if this would be better represented by an array of boring bread pictures, I suspect that this is the actual requirement? this is My BloG and We like bread and we hope you like what we have to dish up for you?
so where are we now, small beard, this photo was from a while back on the train so no harm no foul..
so where to start over, well the weekend was slower than expected, and i read bla bla, no lets stop that bad idea long before it even begins, no that isnt me either, you are getting enough of a change for now, don’t expect more than this. And for those who still receive this as force fed grain down the throat foi gra style .. go to the blog page at least once in a while to look at the pics, albeit that they may be ever so boring.
to recapitulate, yes that is the correct word, I went this weekend and like i seldom do, and went to have a look at a couple of art exhibitions at pateka in porirua, splendid like always. Like every year I went to the world photo journalism awards again, and like the last 2 years it sickened me.. i cannot say they photos where at all bad, but the content is just so shocking and I would suggest having a look, partly for the quality which is in no means spectacular but the content is shocking like always and gives you a boot up the derriere and wakes you up and makes you realise there is a seriously large amount of crap out there  and on the whole we are pretty lucky not to have to deal with a small portion of it ..
But pretty amazing, went to see this exhibition DarkCloud :White Light it is pretty damn amazing.. here is a minuscular scrap of it .. 

Dark cloud : White Light

At the same time there are a number of other exhibitions, there is a lithographic suite by Marian Maguire called Titokowaru’s Dilemma.. pretty amazing, but the UKU RERE contemporary ceramics  exhibition is awesome…

all in all spectacular for a short little visit, these are only a few of the exhibitions..
More Later… but that ees enouh for now,
 there are a  whole lot of others including  Rob McLeod’s – Imposters, Aliens and Angels

maybe as a closing note, after seeing the world photo journalism exhibition I am happy to be here, safer (not safe) we are not safe anywhere. But mroe importantly i was or should say am still horrified as i was before in the previous years about the Hate that humans portray for others in the name of religion, politics, skin colour, greed and any other reason.. It is just totally incomprehensible if you step back and view it objectively.... It is all Just so damn Sad .. It brings me to question if there is actually anything we can do to make a difference? There are those shining lights who appear to make a difference, but so many try to snuff them out.
