Our little free library has been a hit for exchanging reading materials in the neighborhood, but until recently it hadn't yielded a book that really piqued my interest. When a hardback copy of John Madson's Where The Sky Began (Bur Oak Book, 1982) showed up last week, I dived in to see what he had to say about the American prairie. He had a lot to say, and he said it well and with an unmatched passion for the subject. The book (I haven't managed to finish it yet!) is full of nuggets-- botanical, historical, and sociological. As an example, I've seen my share of prairie remnants over the years (I'm a Duvick, after all!) but I can't say I ever tried to extrapolate the few acres at a time I saw to what must have been an ocean's worth of grass at the dawn of the Westward expansion. Madson quotes a number of early travelers beyond the Mississippi, and their various reactions to what they saw. Some were ecstatic; others, disgusted. It's important to note that at this time, the whole Eastern region was still predominantly forest land, and Madson speculates (as reflected in his book title) that the unmitigated openness of the prairie landscape was repellent to some who had lived their whole lives under the leafy Eastern canopies (although these were rapidly being clearcut for agriculture and timber-related progress, and their extent and depth are now just as much a legend and a dream as the prairie realms).
It's possible to get a small taste of the prairie close to home. After you scale 'the big hill' going north on the Saylorville bike trail, you wind your way through sunny dips and turns along an oak-hickory margin that slopes back down towards the reservoir and forms a backdrop for prairie plantings. The colors and textures are enchanting in early August.
Then you ascend a sloping path towards a large-ish prairie restoration overlooking the lake beyond. The lake, of course, didn't exist in those older days, but the prairie land could well have.
I'm savoring the aforementioned book, as I am savoring these sights and smells of the early August landscape-- not wanting it all to end too soon. Eventually I will have to examine my conscience about putting the book back in the little free library to share it further... so I may just have to order a copy to keep.


The following are a selection of quilts and other handmade artworks that were found in the home and workshop of Sally Snow Eklund in Assonet, Massachusetts. Any family members and friends interested in particular pieces, please drop a line.
Sally Eklund, 1937-2015
Born in April 1937, Sarah “Sally“ West grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts. In the early 1960s, she and her first husband moved to the southeastern part of the state where they raised three children. An accomplished artist who created hundreds of quilts and original artworks in the textile medium, she was first known as Sally Snow in her professional life.
After remarrying in the 1980s, Sally Eklund continued living and working in New England with her second husband and life companion, relocating to the Caribbean permanently in the 1990s. Throughout her life, she enjoyed spending time with family, reading, cooking, gardening, singing, and playing folk songs on the auto harp. She also was a faithful caretaker of a series of beloved dogs.
As friends and family are scattered across the far ends of the world, an online selection of photos from the life of Sally Eklund has been compiled below in lieu of a formal obituary or service. And in the joyful, celebratory spirit of a New Orleans-style funeral, a favorite song from The Carter Family, featuring “Mother” Maybelle Carter, is included below.
To a full life lead with energy, passion, and, as stated in a final conversation, “without regret.”

A Pair of Quilts by Sally Eklund
A new batch of quilts by Sally Eklund is in the process of being added to SallysQuilts.com. Here are the first two:
“Indian Summer,” a quilt by Sally Eklund
One year in the late-1970s, Sally Eklund was shuttling back and forth between her residence near Boston and a series of meetings held at a local university in southeastern Massachusetts. This particular year the colors of the late October-early November foliage lining Route 140, the New England highway she used each way, were so brilliant and evocative that Eklund was inspired to create an original quilt entitled “Indian Summer.”*
The meetings were follow-up discussions concerning a music and crafts show, the Eisteddfod, held at UMass Dartmouth (then known as Southeastern Massachusetts University) each October between 1972 and 1996. Eklund and her husband Karl were actively involved, she selling hand-crafted quilts, clothing, and food items (as well as heading a crafts committee that year) and he as a musical performer at a festival that drew traditional musicians from across the country and around the world.
Coincidently, that summer Sally Eklund had been experimenting with Procion dye, a type of cold reactive dye chosen because it does not use the same harsh chemicals and heavy metals typically employed by alternatives. This makes it is easier to use at home than other dyes (in addition to being more environmentally friendly). Procion dyes are also known for retaining their color and are unique because they work best with natural fibers like cotton, wool, and silk.
As part of the artistic process, Eklund dyed pieces of fabric, some solids and some irregulars. This allowed her to create a variety of colors using a number of different techniques. She explained:
“this enables you to work with the shapes and the colors, to see how they play against each other. For example, you place red next to green and yellow and the look is completely transformed if the same color is adjacent to blue and orange.”
Please note, since the last post, approximately 30 new quilts have been added to the galleries located in the upper left-hand corner, as well as one new category, Clothing and Accessories.
*For those unfamiliar with the term “Indian summer,” its etymology is disputed and the meaning can vary depending on location in the world or even within the United States. For a resident of New England, the term is generally agreed to refer to a period of unexpected warm, dry weather that occurs around late-September to the middle of November.
Introduction: Welcome to Sally’s Quilts
Welcome to Sally’s Quilts, a website for sharing a selection of the quilted artwork of Sally Eklund, a quilter and textile artist who has been creating original works of textile-based art in New England and the Caribbean for more than 40 years.
Sally Eklund’s quilted creations are organized in six non-exclusive categories: Animals, Geometric, Man-made, Nature, Plants, and Clothing & Accessories. One example of each is found in today’s post, as well as in the individual photo galleries arranged by subject in the upper left-hand corner of the browser page.
A Place To Be Inspired
This site is a place where quilters and textile artists can come for ideas and examples. The artist, who went by Sally Snow and Sally-Snow Eklund earlier in her professional career, used a variety of materials, techniques, and inspirations over the course of producing hundreds of original textile creations from the 1970s to the 2010s.
How To Start: What Are the Typical Steps Needed To Create a Quilt or Article of Clothing?
The process of creating a quilt or any type of quilted garment or bag often includes: selecting or creating a pattern, selecting and/or dyeing the fabric, and then, depending on the type of quilt, either sewing the individual panels, which are then stitched together to create the quilt, or directly sewing the quilt or quilted piece of clothing (e.g. jacket, vest, or skirt).
Many first-time quilters find attending a group class is a good place to start, both for learning new skills and for developing friendships and useful contacts in the greater quilting community. The latter is especially helpful for sourcing the necessary materials and equipment at the best prices available.
Alternatively, these days many excellent DIY and how-to publications including magazines, books, and online resources can help to get a newbie pointed in the right direction. A quick search on the Web will yield plenty of results. A modern-day book of patterns (which often include ample color pictures, detailed step-by-step instructions, and sometimes even the patterns on CD or at an associated website–one example is the 2012 publication from Moya’s Workshop, Purses, Bags & Totes) will launch a budding quilter on the right track.
And here’s one more piece done in recent years dedicated to the Scandinavian heritage of Eklund’s husband.

The Superior Council on Health is the scientific advisory body of the Belgian Federal Public Health Service.
One of the opinions published concerns vegetarianism. The PDF document is over 166 pages long and contains a large number of references.
Orange Clignotant has been asked to produce a series of 5 videos in 2 languages summarising the themes addressed in the study.
A general video focusing on the study and initiating the 4 videos dedicated to specific themes.
Pregnant women, infants, children & teenagers and the elderly.
Introduce the study to medical circles (video 1) and disseminate to the general public (directly or indirectly concerned) the major attention that needs to be paid to this increasingly popular food choice (videos 1 to 5).
The approach should be positive, the tone cheerful and the information quick, concise and understandable.
In order to grab the attention of a sometimes wary and hard-pressed public, the agency opted for a dynamic and not much-used animated approach: paper cut out.
The technique consists of a succession of patterns and characters that are cut out, assembled, staged and animated.
The approach also allows for the presence of real personas, enabling the audience to identify with them.

This is the testimony of Alan Champkins, a man who gave his life to Jesus as a child, but who followed a path that would ultimately lead him to be one of the only white men ever trained as a Zulu witch doctor. Allan takes us from his days in boarding school, where he suffered rejection, to his college days that were spent partying. He retraces his search for meaning as he explored the New Age, Buddhism and other belief systems. He finds himself working as a tour guide where he meets a Sangoma—a Zulu witch doctor, who says the spirits have chosen him to be trained as an herbalist. At the completion of this training, he is informed that he is also to be trained as a Sangoma. Listen as he describes how God unfolded a plan to deliver him from this life and show him the one thing he had been looking for all along.


|A note from Marla:
For those of you who know me, you know I have a small personal obsession by the name of
Abraham Robinson Johnston. I took my job in Robinson's boyhood home in Piqua, OH 7 years
ago this February. At the time I was hired to learn about, and communicate to the public, the
life of John Johnston, Federal Indian Agent 1775 -1861. In the course of reading John
Johnston's correspondence, available through the collections of the Cincinnati Historical
Society, the Paul Laurence Dunbar Special Collections, the Ohio Historical Society, and other
institutions, I 'met' the other members of his family, including his son, Robinson. Born
Abraham Robinson Johnston in 1815, he was the second son of John and Rachel Johnston of
Upper Piqua, OH. His elder brother Stephen had been born in 1803, and between the two
boys were five girls, four of which survived. Robinson, as the family called him, was a very
privileged young man. He was tutored by a well-known and respected doctor at Oxford, OH
and then went on to the United States Military Academy at West Point. His father, as he put it
in his own letters, placed all his 'felicitations' in this talented and well-liked son. Unfortunately,
Robinson died at the age of 31on a California battlefield far away from his home, near an
Indian mission or village called San Pasqual. In this writer's humble opinion, it was a pointless
battle indicative of a war that should not have been fought; one motivated by greed and a
president's desire to make a reality of his personal vision of a country that went from 'sea to
shining sea'. As so often happens, the young men on the ground are the ones who pay the
price of old men's dreams of grandeur.
This is the first of a series of pages I intend to devote to telling Robinson's story from his birth
at Upper Piqua, OH to his death in California, and beyond. There is a mystery concerning this
young man's final resting place and we will explore that here as well.
So join me and come to know Robinson, or Abraham, or John, or Duke, or Rob - depending on
who you would have asked 160 odd years ago. Robinson had many nicknames, which tells us
something about him. He apparently loved to laugh, for he was known as a 'jovial six footer'.
He was also, apparently, a bit of a klutz. His friend Major Thomas Swords remarked to him in
a letter that - 'your usual ill luck has attended you.' He shot himself through the foot, lost some
of his toes, and broke his thigh bone at one point while ice skating. I hope by the time you
finish these pages you will feel you know him. New information will continue to be added as
There is no portrait definitely identified as Robinson, but we do have one image that just might
be him. It is a crayon portrait done in 1833. On the lower left-hand side of the image are the
words 'AR Johnston 1833'. As Robinson was an artist, this may simply be a drawing he did.
However, when you compare the features of the young blond man in the portrait with
Robinson's elder sister, Elizabeth, it becomes clear that this may be a self-portrait. The name
is written on it in such a way that it suggests AR Johnston is the subject.
Now, on to the Robinson I know....

Creating a Buzz About Books
Recently, a small bookstore in Santo Domingo held an event in which readers could come in to choose a book, have something to drink, and read for a while. Pretty standard fare — except that all the books were wrapped in brown paper, organized by genre, and only gave small hints about what the book was about. The event was a huge hit: people loved discovering what was underneath that mysterious brown paper.
After hearing about the event, Pia, our 7th grade Spanish literature teacher, decided this would be a great way to stir up a buzz about the next shared reading book she’d be reading with her students. Her class was about to read La joven de las naranjas by Jostein Gaarder, so she wrapped the books in brown paper and added a different quote from the book to each wrapping. She also included an orange candy at each table that hinted at what the book was about.
As students entered the classroom, their curiosity was immediately piqued: “Hey, what’s this?” “Can we open it?” “Pia, is this for us?” the students asked. There was an inquisitive hum in the air and Pia had the kids’ full attention.
She asked the students to have a look at the quotes on their books and to write a short prediction about what they thought the book would be about.
Then she gathered them on the carpet to share their predictions:
Pia told me that although La joven de las naranjas is an excellent book, the beginning is a little slow and can sometimes lose her young readers. But not this time: eager to open those packages and discover what the book was about, the students had no trouble sustaining their attention until the book took on a life of its own.
I can envision so many different ways to hook students with the simple use of brown paper and some clues. Who’s not intrigued by a mystery? I’d love to hear how you use this idea to create a buzz in your classroom. I’m going to be giving this a try as we head back to school this week. If you try it, I’d love to hear about it – please share!
Gracias por compartir esta experiencia. Fue un momento mágico!!! Y realmente están muy entusiasmados con este libro tan filosófico y tan fabuloso!
Gracias por la idea, tan sencilla pero poderosa Pia!
I’m totally going to try this. Thanks for sharing!
I tried it in 11th grade last week, as we began to read The Book Thief, and it was amazing. At the end one of my students said, “Carla, thank you, this was the coolest activity.” High praise from a 17 year old 🙂
Love the sense of mystery in this. Great way to enage imagination!
It is! And you are so right Gillian, awakening the imagination makes the learning so much deeper.
I love this idea!!! The simplicity of the wrapping, the orange treat, and the book quotes were just enough to add to the intrigue. Their prereading predictions were probably deeper than usual. Thanks for the share!!! I always love your posts, Carla.
Yes, the prereading predictions were amazing and as the students heard other quotes they kept revising their predictions. It was a powerful discussion. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment, Marilyn!
What an awesome idea! It’s amazing how sometimes it’s the simple things that can really catch our students’ attention and set the whole experience up to be more successful. Thank you for sharing!
I agree, Aubrey: just a little bit of brown paper… But as Gillian says, it’s all about capturing their imagination. I tried it in 11th grade last week and the students were excited and engaged – a great first day back!

When I finished reading Larry Hurtado's "Fashions, Fallacies, and Future Prospects for New Testament Studies" (JSNT, published online 14 April 2014, 1-26) I thought it would be worth mentioning here for fellow students of the New Testament. Hurtado alerts us to the danger of past "fashions" and "fallacies" while pointing forward to future prospects. The "fashions" upon which he focuses are structural, post-structural, and deconstructive exegesis with a nod of the head toward similar approaches like Marxist exegesis. The "fallacies" he observes relate to the "Pre-Christian Gnostic Redeemer" and the "Son of Man" as Urmensch, both ideas about pre-Christian influences upon Christianity that were broadly accepted, but without good evidence for doing so. Hurtado warns against "parallelomania" and reminds us to consider that not all Christian ideas existed before Christianity, i.e., we must give space for "significant adaptions, 'mutations', and even novel innovations" by the early Christians themselves.
What about the future of NT studies? Hurtado cautions against two much energy being put into postulating "a multi-stage literary theory" and "a complex social and theological history" with much attention being given to the work of Kloppenborg (p. 16). Also, he cautions against putting too much stock into the idea of "communities" behind the Gospels, while acknowledging that this isn't something to abandon altogether. Positively, he sees promise in historical investigation will remain central to NT research. Similarly, he sees a future for reception history studies and the internationalization of NT studies. Obviously, this article can't address every fashion, fallacy, and future prospect of NT studies, but it is thought-provoking and worth reading for students like myself.

HistoryA Precious Inheritance
CHURCH OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Moycullen, Co. Galway
“A Precious Inheritance” by Treasa McMahon
At a time when forestry and vegetation covered the land, the first Christian monks made their journeys by boat. It is on record that some of the Corrib islands were home to religious communities such as one founded by St. Brendan and included names like Maeldún, Éanna, Cuana and Fursae. Many of the little churches or Teampaill here in Moycullen are named after the saints of the time or by them such as Teampall Beag or Teampall Phádraig in Cluain (n)Daimh Cill a’ Chlogháin – the little Church and Lisín in Corrach, Tullykyne Teampall Éanna – St. Enda¹s Church in Cill Eagúla. Éanna is patron of Aran, Spiddal & Barna Churches Cill Cáilín – Cnoc Bán, named after Cáilín a saint much venerated around the Connemara Coast “The Parish Church” so called by the historian R. O’Flaherty in his definitive work Iar-Chonnacht written in 1684. He describes the church as “The Parish Church, thereon its chief feast of late, is the Immaculate Conception, what ancient patron it had is not known”. Dr. Michael Browne, Bishop of Galway referred to this when he dedicated our present church to the Immaculate Conception in 1953. The dogma of the Immaculate Conception was promulgated in 1854 by Pope Pius X.
The Arrival of Cromwell
In 1652 Cromwell and his army arrived in Galway. Their policy was to banish the Irish who held property. They banished the O’Flaherty’s of Moycullen Castle, sacked their property, which would have included “The Parish Church” regarded as an adjunct of the castle. The practice of religion was suppressed and the whole framework of the Gaelic civilisation and culture was annihilated. The first “Parish Church” in Moycullen was no longer a place of worship.
The Penal Laws
In the early eighteenth century the Penal Laws were devised to deprive Catholics of property, of education, of the guardianship of children, of the control of land, to exclude them from the professions and from positions of influence. Permission to say Mass was said to be restricted to registered priests one in each parish (which was not always the case). All members of religious orders were banished. For Catholic ‘informers’ and for ’converts’ to Protestantism there was a system of pensions and rewards. Irish Catholics were reduced to misery and subjection. As in other parts of the country the priests in Moycullen continued their work in spite of grave and personal danger. We have the evidence of Bearna na gCorp where the coffins were blessed, the Mass Rocks, records of priests like Father Bartholomew O’Connor P.P. 1723 in hiding and Father O¹Halloran, stories abound about him. The Penal Laws were lifted towards the end of the 18th century. In 1793 Father Xavier Blake came to Moycullen as P.P. There is anecdotal evidence that a Church was then situated in Clochán (now the Regan’s land).
The Second Parish Church
In 1826 Father Peter Daly of Bushypark wrote in his pamphlet “I was entrusted by the Warden & Clergy to take charge of the parish of Moycullen under distressing circumstances which then had no chapel, and in the course of that year I built the present chapel. I had no emoluments by the office of P.P. of that parish during my care of it”. Built in times of extreme poverty this parish Church was also dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. Fr. Daly was reputedly a wealthy and influential member of the Galway Diocesan Clergy. His residence ‘Albano Villa’ in Bushy Park was known for the vital role it played during the Famine. The Galway Mercury (20th March 1847) reported that a 1000 people a day-received soup there, distributed by the Mercy Sisters. In 1950 it was decided to demolish Father Daly’s Church and to rebuild on the present site. As this required a larger site and the exhumation of fifteen people, their remains were re-interred under the Church. One young girl was found in much the same perfect condition as when she had died. Their names are recorded on Plaques, which can be seen on either side of the Church. These exhumations were very distressing for relatives, friends and neighbours of the deceased and for the gravediggers involved.
Third Parish Church 1953
The present Church, the third parish Church which cost £20,000 was built on the small weekly contributions of the people of Moycullen with functions and events organised by the Priests of the parish, Fathers O’Dea and F.M. Higgins. Finally the collecting reached a total of nearly £9,000. Meanwhile Moycullen people in the States organised fundraising events, which coincided with Father Val Fitzgerald¹s visit. These raised £8,700. It should be remembered that fundraising in the 50¹s was not an easy task as it was a time of mass unemployment, poverty and emigration. The Church was designed and planned by Ralph Ryan, Consulting Engineer and Sean Kelly, Architect. Coogan & McNally were the Contractors. Bishop Michael Browne consecrated the new Church on the 8th December 1953, on the first day of the Marian Year. It was a splendid achievement for the priests and people of Moycullen and an example to us to day. We are the beneficiaries of a Christian inheritance.


John Darling ( 1946 – 2004)
John Darling was a native of east Sussex, and apart from a short time as a student in Oxford, and some time in “the smoke”, working as a Night Security Guard (to give him more time during the day for fishing, he explained), spent all his life in the general area around Seaford.
He enjoyed “Huntin’, Shootin’, and fishin'”, and was remarkably good at it. Converting our interests into a career must be an unfulfilled dream for most of us at some time. John did this seemingly effortlessly, writing his first article before the age of eighteen, and getting it published in probably the most influential angling magazine of the 20th century, “Creel”, in May 1964!
At this period, John probably felt that certain age creeping up on him, and he disappeared from the angling stage for a while, reappearing around the time when “Creel” and “Angling” magazines merged under the editorship of Brian Harris. As anglers do, John found a mentor in the form of Budge Booker, a well-known south coast angler of the time, and the learning curve steepened. John began writing and taking photos for Brian Harris, and produced some excellent and at times controversial writing, inducing some at times heated correspondence!
In 1973, the inaugural meeting of the Bass Anglers Sportfishing Society was held at Weymouth, and John was there, John’s own story of what happened is in the 30th Anniversary issue of BASS.
Around 1979, Ian Gillespie was preparing a book describing the coastal fishing. John was asked to take over the project on Ian’s sudden death, and the result was John’s first book, the Sea Angler’s Guide to Britain and Ireland, published in 1982. Also in 1982, his next book, Shore Fishing, was something of a sea angling Readers Digest, with contributions from Ronnie Preddy, Keith Roberts and Alan Yates covering subjects John felt himself not qualified to write on, like match fishing! John was an airgun enthusiast, and in 1988 Air Rifle Hunting was published.
In the eighties, John took up serious small boat bassing, and being a thinking angler soon sorted out the most effective method: harnessed live mackerel. In his most successful season, JD told me he had taken 143 doubles before he lost count, before you ask, most returned. His last book, Bass Fishing on Shore and Sea, published 1996, became one of his best selling books.
Sadly, his last article is almost certainly the piece he wrote by request for our magazine. He referred to many of his friends as stars; he didn’t realise he was one himself. He will be missed.

|The quest of Winston-11811 and his young friends is fast-paced and often very funny. But the story also recalls many other works: books from the biblical Revelations to the novels of Flann O’Brien, films like The Italian Job, Metropolis and The Matrix, and many computer games. Soon you will be absorbed into a new world - the world behind the machines - where you may discover a new quest of your own...|

My disclaimer: Many of these songs are not my own. Most are traditional, and those few I know the authors of I have given credit to, as well as the recordings. The purpose of this book being on the web is to share the songs with a group of performers who live a good distance from each other, and only get together to perform infrequently. Please respect the copyrights that may be represented here, and do not replicate indiscriminately. Also, if you know the author of a song that is not credited, please let me know and I will add it right away. There were too many copyright questions to add the contemporary folk songs. If you would like a copy of what I have collected, let me know and I will make you one.

Ling Lung Women’s Magazine was published in the 1930s in Shanghai, China at a time when women’s role in society, at least in that sophisticated and foreign-influenced metropolis, was in rapid transition. No longer shuttered within the patriarchal prisons of traditional upper class family compounds, or left to toil in rural villages, women were beginning to become educated in missionary or foreign-inspired institutions, or to work in urban enterprises which allowed them a great deal more independence and social contact. They were hungry for gossip about the glamorous movie stars they saw in the cinema, and eager for advice about social situations which their mothers could not have dreamt of.
Ling Lung, a pocket-sized, slender, and inexpensive weekly, boldly ventured to meet these new needs by encouraging women to advance toward the good life through socially high-minded entertainment. It was filled with articles on fashion, interior decoration, pop psychology, and new careers; and also advice columns on love, sex, and marriage, as well as lavish illustrations of local and Hollywood celebrities. The wide array of advertisements for women’s products are often just as revealing of life and aspirations as the words of the text. In short, the magazine is a gold mine for students of twentieth-century Chinese social history, and a balance to much of the prevailing literature which tends to emphasize only the political interests of the youth of that generation.
The first issue of Ling Lung (known in English as Linloon Magazine) came out on March 18, 1931 and the price was listed as seven hundredths of an ounce of foreign silver, or twenty-one copper coins. Its chief editors were Mr. Chou Shih-hsün (entertainment), Ms. Ch’en Chen-ling (women’s features), and Mr. Lin Tse-min (photography). The magazine ceased publication in 1937.
-Columbia University Libraries
[Ling Lung Womens Magazine includes] articles on a wide range of topics deemed relevant to the lives of urban women in 1930s Shanghai: fashion, interior decoration, childrearing, popular psychology, new careers, and, of course, love, sex, and marriage. In addition, there are many illustrations of local women of "high society," young female authors, and American celebrities, such as movie stars and athletes. Advertisements for women’s products also appear frequently.
Ling Lung is a rich historical source. In addition to many photographs and illustrations, the first issue dated March 18, 1931, included articles entitled "If Your Husband Has an Affair" and "Sports and China," as well as the sheet music and lyrics for "Should I"—a song featured in an MGM production of Lord Byron of Broadway. Special issues feature topics such as children (issue 167, 1935) and China’s emerging "swimming and beach culture" (issue 298, 1937).
-Michael Chang, George Mason University
This community, titled after the Ling Lung Women's Magazine published in Shanghai from 1931 to 1937, is a forum to share and discuss items relating to Chinese society from the late 19th century until the 1930s, an exciting period of rapid modernization in China. Topics may certainly extend beyond Shanghai and are not restricted to the 1930s (preferrably pre-1949 and Old China in transition, generally 1870-1949), and even articles relating to other East Asian societies during the era (Japan, Korea, etc). The sharing of related book and movie reviews, links, museum events, fashion articles, art, historiography, ephemera, and so on are encouraged. The only rule enforced is to post according to the lose guidelines above, and that self-introductions and requests (regarding photos, historical information, etc) be posted with some additional interesting material relating to the community interests. More information on the Ling Lung Magazine can be attained at The Columbia University Library.

After Hours (The Birds Are Back)
The soldier turns away to the trees around us. The others also. They listen closely. No, it's not the silence. They have noticed nothing, did not hear the silence. It's me who is shocking them. Nothing else, it seems. - No more birds, I say, continuing my thought. The smoke from the crematorium has chased them away. Never again will there be birds in this forest…Jorge Semprun, "Writing or Life", 1997
After Hours is inspired by Jorge Semprun's two WWII novels "The Long Voyage" and "Writing or Life". In 1945, at the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp, prisoner Semprun ( later a renowned novelist, scriptwriter and Spain's Minister of Culture) explains to Allied soldiers why the birds had forever abandoned the site, Germany's largest forest preserve. Fifty-five years later in 2000, Weimar celebrates itself as Cultural Capital of Europe, and After Hours proclaims that the birds have finally returned to Buchewald.
This work is about traumas always present in a landscape where creation and destruction have so often collided. Weimar (center of the German Enlightenment) and Buchenwald (one of the largest Nazi concentration camps within Germany) are one and the same place. Conflicting ideologies, the human and the inhuman, Goethe and Hitler, beauty and horror, life and death: the best and worst of western culture and history are confronted face to face.
Commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art in Weimar for the Cultural Capital Exhibition, After Hours engaged local artists and residents in several actions recorded in photographs and films:-
- After Hours: immersive site-specific installtion in the dungeon of the Museum with beech trees, Buchenwald stones, 4-channel audio, spotlight, speakers
- After Hours I-X: photographs of the site installation.
- The Birds Are Back I-VI: photographs conjure the return of the birds to Weimar
- Die Rückker der Vögel (The Birds Are Back): video (16') documents a public performance in the streets of Weimar by students parading a sandwich-board anouncing “The Birds Are Back”
- Weimar Klassic I-XXX: photographs interpret landscapes of classical Weimar
- The Rise and Fall of the Modern: photographs explore degenerate art and National Socialist ideology
- Washing The Stones: 1-channel HD projection of a performance in the site installation (26')
Works can be shown separately or as a multimedia room installation.
In Germany between 1937-1939, Hitler’s National Socialist government was consolidating its dictatorship over its own people. On the hills of the Ettersberg Forest near Weimar, where Goethe, Schiller, Wagner and other German classicists gave Europe its highest cultural expression, the Nazis established Buchenwald concentration camp. Its first prisoners were dissidents including teachers, writers, social democrats, communists and anyone else who opposed Hitler. Most of them were worked to death clearing the forest and constructing barracks. By far the worst job was building the “road of death” linking Buchenwald to the Weimar train station five miles away. The stone used for this was a heavy black limestone quarried from a valley in the Ettersberg, and crudely formed in a wedge shape to be set in the ground. By the time the camp was liberated in April 1945, Buchenwald would become known as the “United Nations” of the concentration camps. Not many of the prisoners who worked in the quarries survived, but the road's surface was smoothed over by thousands upon thousands of feet trudging over it. It is still there today.
For the original installation in the dungeon of the Kunstsammlungen zu Weimar (Museum of Modern Art, a 12th C. castle restored by Goethe while he was Minister of Culture in the late18th C.), stones from the path of death, quarried by Buchenwald prisoners to build a road from the Weimar train station to the prison camp in the late 1930’s. We also recorded ambient bird sounds from the forest, and we brought these two elements into the space. Buchenwald stones were placed atop Goethe’s stones, confronting the two faces of German history. As the visitor approaches the darkened space, he hears the soundscape of birds ‘flying’ overhead. A solitary spotlight confronts the spectator with long shadows and blinding light. In the darkness, a shadow of a person can be seen washing the stones (ritual washing of the dead). The visitor can experience the space from a distance (like a movie screen) or walk through it for a more physial and sensorial engagement with the work.
Like memory, which is transcient, fragile and uncertain, the intention in this work is not only for it to be experienced in-situ, but als to be transported, through diverse media, to a variety of spaces and locales.

Recently published by Compass books, a Persian translation of my Basics Photography: Exposure. Full details here. As with the other unauthorised Farsi editions, layout and photographs have been reworked for the Iranian market – though I’m assured my text is largely as originally written. Translation again is by Ehsan Ghanbarifard; the editor being Esmaeil Abbasi.
I’m pleased to see a review of my latest book Photography Exposure in the prestigious US Library Journal.
Präkel, David. Photography Exposure. 2d ed. Fairchild: Bloomsbury. (Basics Photography). 2016. 184p. illus. index. ISBN 9781472590916. pap. $39.95. ART INSTRUCTION
Serious hobbyists and aspiring professional photographers will appreciate the depth that Präkel delves into here in this compact guide to exposure. The author, an experienced photographer, provides readers with prodigious details about operating the manual settings of either their digital or film cameras, which allows for greater creative control. This practice can help readers understand the technique well enough to use their camera’s automatic functions better, too. A chapter on theory kicks off the guide, explaining what makes a good exposure and discussing light itself. Sections thereafter cover shutter speed and time, aperture and depth of field, light meters, and dynamic range. Each supplies a short exercise to experience these concepts firsthand. Successful photographs as well as charts and illustrations augment the intelligent text, rich in scientific and quantitative explanations, on crisply laid out pages.
VERDICT Intermediate and advanced photographers can use this guide to take their work to the next level.
The second edition of my book on photographic exposure was published yesterday by Bloomsbury as Photography: Exposure in the Basics Photography series under the Fairchild imprint. A slight change of name there. Full details are available through the Bloomsbury website here. The book is available in both paperback (ISBN 978-1-4725-9091-6) and PDF eBook format (ISBN 978-1-4725-9090-9).
Content has been thoroughly refreshed with new imagery, four new exercises and case studies on the light meter, the camera shutter, depth of field preview and spot metering. I’m especially pleased to have my set of Whole/Half/Third stop rulers in print – past students will be familiar!
I was unaware that Composition 摄影构图 2版 Basics Photography: Composition 2nd Edition had already been published over a year ago in Chinese. Published by the China Youth Press it has ISBN 978-7-5153-1849-3. Again thanks to all the origial contributors – I’m proud to have this book available to such a large readership but from some of the reviews on amazon.cn it seems the translation is not the best, which is a great shame.
Though I’m still waiting to see the final proofs, Bloomsbury has now announced the availability of the second edition of Basics Photography: Exposure which is now to be called Photography Exposure. Full details are available through the Bloomsbury website here. The book will be published in paperback (ISBN 978-1-4725-9091-6) and in PDF eBook format (ISBN 978-1-4725-9090-9).
I’m delighted to have one of Olgeir Andresson’s Northern Lights images on the cover. Content has been thoroughly refreshed with new imagery, four new exercises and case studies on the light meter, the camera shutter, depth of field preview and spot metering.
