Burning Man Art For 2021 Is A 'Go'
In this latest announcement from Burning Man they say (among many other things) that they are committing to fully funding art now, even though we don't yet know if Burning Man will actually happen on the Black Rock Desert this year. This means that probably some (or possibly all) of the art will actually end up being displayed somewhere else in the world.

Riv. Co. Supervisor Costs Us
Riverside County taxpayers (not an insurance company) paid to get Supervisor Jeff Hewitt out of a sexual harassment claim. He was already the worst Supervisor. Now he's the most expensive as well.

Four From All Over
Beargrass Nolina at the California Botanic Garden in Claremont. I shot this with a DSLR in March 2021.
Hammond Pond Reservation which is (was?) an under-appreciated resource in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, just behind Hammond Pond which is just behind the Chestnut Hill Mall (if that's still there). Kodachrome, 1990. That's my Diamond Back Apex leaning up against the boulder there. I still have it and it still rides great...on any naked bike ride I go on.

Photos From The Lodz Ghetto
Forty-eight photos by Henryk Ross. Wikipedia: Starting in 1940, Ross had been employed by the Department of Statistics for the Jewish Council within the Łódź Ghetto during the Holocaust in occupied Poland. Daringly, working as staff photographer, Ross also documented Nazi atrocities (such as public hangings) while remaining officially in the good graces of the German occupational administration. Ross gifted the photos to Lova Szmuszkowicz. They passed from him to his son, who sold them in 2018 to Howard Greenberg who in turn donated them to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston which has digitized them and made them available to the public.
